Chapter 133: Ordinary Work

After finishing from the convenience store, dragging his tired body, Kenichi Kitamura, who had just returned to his residence, threw himself directly on the tatami mat. He didn't want to move at all.

He stood in the convenience store for hours, not only feeling tired on both feet, but also tired all over. Even so, I still have to stick to drawing comics.

Kenichi Kitamura is quite smart because he has long seen that a person like himself who works as an hourly wage worker at a convenience store will not have a future at all. qδ

His daily work is nothing but monotony and unboredom except for simple repetition, repetition and repetition. If you are unlucky one day and encounter a customer with snake spirit disease, you will have an unhappy stomach.

For people like myself who work odd jobs in convenience stores, the only spiritual sustenance is to become a regular worker. He is a little stronger than others, just a little, and there is also a spiritual sustenance that comes from drawing comics.

Kenichi Kitamura felt more and more like a fly that had gotten into a glass bottle in a completely unclear and inexplicable way.

Before I entered, I looked at how good it was, but in fact, after entering, I gradually realized that it was not what I thought it would be. More than 95 percent of these difficulties were something I had never even thought about.

After Kenichi Kitamura came to Tokyo, one of the most personal feelings he felt was that all the beautiful visions, freshness, and expectations that he had from the beginning had become vanished after experiencing all kinds of beatings in the real world.

He can only watch the beautiful world here, but it is really difficult to truly integrate into this international metropolis.

Singing every night, drunk and golden, the lights are red...... I don't have anything to do with myself at all.,It's like being in two completely different worlds.。

Rotating sushi, a kind of common food that rich people look down on at all, is already a big meal for themselves. Kenichi Kitamura thought about it, when was the last time he ate rotating sushi?

He vividly remembers the day of his birthday last year. In order to save money, he was reluctant to serve the two sea urchin sushi on the golden plate.

Kenichi Kitamura, like most Japanese people, knows that while Japan is an island nation with a wide variety of seafood products, rotating sushi is not something that can be eaten as much as you want.

In fact, sea urchin is not a high-end ingredient, and the so-called Japanese sushi is nothing more than a different combination of some seafood and rice.

Kenichi Kitamura's head suddenly appeared in a new Japanese drama called "Eating Crabs with Snow Girls".

His situation is inevitably similar to that of the male protagonist who was preparing to commit suicide in that day's drama. I'm a little better, although my life is hard, but I haven't thought about committing suicide yet.

The male protagonist wanted to commit suicide, but he was super satisfied when he saw the picture of others eating king crab on TV, so he thought that before he died, he should also eat king crab once, after all, he had never eaten it.

Even if a big king crab costs 60,000 yen, it also makes the male protagonist who only has more than 20,000 yen in his pocket find a motivation to live temporarily.

According to the simple idea of the male protagonist, he doesn't have to eat such a big king crab, as long as the small king crab doesn't cost too much money, it's okay.

The reason why he can arouse the resonance in Kenichi Kitamura's heart is that he has also lived for more than 20 years and has never eaten king crab once.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel some sourness in his heart. Even if your wish is so small, it is difficult to achieve it.

Kenichi Kitamura has been in Tokyo for so many years, and he is still confused. "Headless flies" is a description of people like themselves.

Even he himself knows that engaging in comics requires not only talent, good creativity, but also luck. Reading comics and drawing comics are not the same thing at all.

What's more, this job of drawing comics is by no means understandable to laymen. On the surface, it looks pretty good, and it's a little romantic, but it's bitter. If I didn't really like it, I would have chosen to give up and quit a long time ago.

Suddenly, Kenichi Kitamura's cell phone rang. He was reflexed by this condition, so he went to find his phone. He still didn't bother to get up, just touched it with his right hand.

After Kitamura Ken touched his hand, he saw that the caller ID on the screen was Kentaro Miyamoto, so he pressed the green answer button and hands-free button, and said succinctly, "Say."

Kentaro Miyamoto heard the weakness in the other party's voice, "Are you tired?"

Kenichi Kitamura said on the matter, "It's okay! I didn't come back from work at the convenience store until I got back, so I need to take a break."

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly, "Understand, understand."

Kenichi Kitamura rejoices, "The only good thing about my job is that I can basically get to and from work on time. Even if it is temporary overtime, there is still a corresponding overtime pay.

This is much better than the life of ordinary office workers who have to work overtime almost every day. Many of them work overtime without overtime pay, or only have a nominal amount of overtime pay."

Kentaro Miyamoto is not unaware that his job is not only less stable and has a low income, but also has no social status and security.

Otherwise, Japan would not have used the excuse of trainees to recruit people from Southeast Asia and other countries to fill the shortage of people in the country.

In Japan, if there is no better choice, Japanese people will not take the initiative to do it, and would rather work overtime until late at night every day than willingly.

Kentaro Miyamoto was considerate, "If you're tired, I won't bother."

Kenichi Kitamura quickly picked up his phone and sat up and said, "Don't! Tell me what you have to do."

Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully, "There's nothing wrong with me, I just want to talk to you."

Kitamura Ken kept going straight and said, "Okay! I was trying to talk to someone, to vent my annoyance, to vent the pressure that was pent up in my heart. Actually, I'm not averse to working part-time.

As I get older, I feel more and more that the kind of work I do is meaningless and has no future at all."

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly, "Ordinary work, or light manual labor, is what it looks like. If you feel like you're earning less, consider doing heavy physical work.

However, in this way, you will not be able to draw manga at all. Heavy physical labor also has a threshold. I thought I couldn't do it.

In addition, there is a certain danger of heavy physical labor. Wounded, disabled, but definitely not a joke. Moreover, if people are overworked, their life will be shortened."
