1. Loneliness

Next Chapter

[I don't know if you can understand that life is called loneliness.

That's how I am, living alone.

None of them really talked to me. 】

Yu Murakami folded his book and stared out the window at the scenery, his body swaying slightly as the train progressed.

"A month, right?"

He muttered to himself.

It should have been exactly a month since I crossed over to this parallel world island country.

In his previous life, although he was not a person who was good at intersection, he also had a few friends who could eat barbecue and brag together late at night.

After arriving in this world, he did not inherit the memories of this body, the foreign culture made him constrained, and the unfamiliar social environment made him at a loss.

On the day he first crossed, he determined that the original owner had no father or mother, and no relatives were alive, so he immediately changed his address and communication method, and cut off all interpersonal communication with the original owner, except for sending a breakup text message to the original owner's girlfriend.

Although I am very sorry for the owner of the body, people are always selfish.

In order not to expose his changes, and unwilling to accept and cheat on the original owner's girlfriend, he chose to escape.

In addition to going out to buy groceries this month, he has been hiding at home, cautiously getting used to the island culture, and learning about the outside world through his mobile phone.

The tram arrived and he got off.

There is a group of high school students wearing sailor suits on the platform, and under the spring breeze in April, the skirts seem to be filled with a youthful atmosphere.

Murakami couldn't help but glance at it - people who left the school gate always had a strong longing for their student days.

This caught the attention of the JKs.

"The man is looking at us, alas."

"That's handsome."

"Emmi-chan, why don't you go up and ask for a line?"

"No, why don't you go?"

......

Yu Murakami is not the only one who looks at them, but he is more handsome, so he has attracted their attention.

Here's an episode.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Murakami's eyes, and he indifferently left the platform with a plastic bag.

His new address was a modest rented apartment, with a bathroom, a cramped kitchen, and a slightly larger room that was both a bedroom and a living room.

The original owner didn't have much of a deposit.

A meal was quickly prepared, and at the same time, a message popped up in my head.

[Cooking Lv. 3: 32/100]

This is the golden finger that appears after he crosses over, and he can improve his skills through experience.

He spent most of the month in a dazed and unwell, and only the skill of cooking reached lv3, and anyone who ate the food he made would say the word delicious.

In addition to this, there is a reading skill.

[Reading Lv4: 99/100]

Maybe the system judged that reading any text was experience, and the level was much higher than that of cooking only three times a day.

The reading skills of lv4 can make him very focused on reading, and he can memorize the content he has read.

After eating, Yu Murakami took out the newspaper he bought when he was shopping for groceries, and planned to brush his reading to lv5 and find a job by the way.

For a month, although he still felt lonely, life always had to go on, and the money left by the original owner was not enough to support him to stay at home.

The newspaper has a large page with all kinds of job postings registered.

There are temporary workers, and there are full-time ones.

Yu Murakami plans to find a job as a hotel assistant chef, and then through lv3's cooking skills, defeat the chef, become a big chef, earn enough capital, and then open his own store.

With the system in hand, it couldn't be easier to get ahead.

But there was no job posting in the newspaper, and only one coffee shop was looking for baristas, which barely met his requirements.

Looking down from above again, although the reading skills of lv4 made him almost unforgettable, he still didn't get rid of the habits of being an ordinary person.

There is no chef recruitment.

Coming to this conclusion again, Yu Murakami had no choice but to call the coffee shop.

"Hey, hello, is it ido Cafe?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

is a gentle female voice.

"Are you still hiring baristas?"

"Do you want to apply for a barista?"

"Yes."

"It's still recruiting, if you are free, please come to the store at 3 o'clock this afternoon for an interview, and the interview address is written on the recruitment information."

"Okay, I'll be on time, thanks."

"You're welcome."

A small coffee shop, lv3 should be able to guarantee his successful application.

Murakami Yu didn't have the slightest worry in his heart, set an alarm clock a little, picked up the unfinished book on the train, and continued to brush up his skills.

It can't be said that the skill is brushed, but after the reading skill reaches lv3, he can fully immerse himself in the world created by the author, just like watching a movie.

Seeing a good book can often make him love it, but when he encounters a book that the author himself doesn't know what to write, it will also be as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

An alarm clock goes off, and Murakami shakes his head and detaches himself from the world in the book.

The book he was reading now was unique to this world, and he had never heard of the title in the original world.

The quality of the book is high, and the overall warmth is exuding, but Yu Murakami can feel the sadness of the author when he wrote the book, so although he didn't see the ending, it is estimated that it will be a tragedy.

He was looking forward to it, but he was reluctant to finish reading it.

I washed my face and changed into a slightly decent outfit - the original owner graduated from college to prepare for the interview.

Take the sorted garbage from the kitchen and go out of the house.

There are many trains in the island country, and it is very convenient, so you can take the train almost everywhere.

Murakami enjoys the crowds of strangers on the train, most of whom don't know each other, which gives him the feeling of finding his kind.

There weren't many people on the tram at one o'clock in the afternoon, so Murakami found a corner by the door and sat down, not reading a book - it was too easy to indulge in it, staring at the blue sky and white clouds.

"People always have to work hard to live, and no one will always accompany anyone."

He comforted himself in his heart, which was not only a farewell to the previous life, but also a greeting to this life.

I got off the train and checked the route, and it was about 300 meters away.

Twenty minutes before 3 o'clock, Murakami walked slowly, ready to get stuck at 2:50 to the coffee shop.

The island country is worthy of being a country of cherry blossoms, and almost half of the short distance of 300 meters is shrouded in a sea of cherry blossoms.

Well, that's why hay fever is the hardest hit area.

Ido Cafe has a small door, unassuming in the middle of a bunch of storefronts, and a blue women's bicycle is parked in front of it, and an orange cat is lazily basking in the sun in the basket.

Yu Murakami pushed the door in, and the sound of a bell rang.

"Welcome!"

At a glance, there were almost no customers in the store.

Arriving at the bar, a short-haired woman in a long blue dress was sitting inside, holding a book and reading.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a barista."

The woman in the blue dress clamped the book with a blue bookmark and looked up.

The appearance is average, but the temperament is gentle, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Hello."

The woman in the blue dress led Yu Murakami to a seat casually.

"I'm the boss Miko Sanada, so let's introduce yourself first."

"Okay." Yu Murakami sat down: "My name is Yu Murakami, I graduated from college for a year, and I used to be a beautician. ”

Formerly a professional beautician in a beauty shop, he has the qualifications of a weight loss instructor and an ear therapist, and the certificate is still kept in his closet.

Although he didn't inherit any memories and craftsmanship from his predecessor.

Miko Sanada was a little surprised and asked, "Don't you have any experience working in coffee?"

Naturally, Yu Murakami thought about it.

"No, but I like coffee very much, and I have some experience in making coffee, so I can make a cup on the spot."

Miko Sanada hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, there are machines and coffee beans over there, you can use them as you like." ”

She had already vetoed Yu Murakami in her heart.

It is undeniable that this young man who came to apply for the job is very handsome, and it is a very good choice for her coffee shop, where the vast majority of customers are women.

But if you don't have the corresponding qualifications, you don't even have the experience of working in a coffee shop, and no one pays for it in this society with your enthusiasm and hobbies.
