Saturday and Sunday, Nishino's weekend was spent washing dishes at his part-time job.
Before he knew it, the weekend was over, and the first Monday of the week arrived in the blink of an eye. Normally, Nishino would be fed up with a day off with no rest for his body. But today, his steps were light as he headed for school. He was in a good mood.
The reason for this was the exchange of contact details with a self-proclaimed saba saba girl.
His morning greetings reflect this.
"Today I found a blooming loquat flower on my way to school. The flowers are small and hard to spot against the leaves, but when you get closer they have a sweet and gentle fragrance. I guess there are so many fragile discoveries in this world that you can only notice if you take the extra step."
All his classmates were annoyed.
The circumstances are not clear. However, they had a feeling that something good had happened to the futsumen. The students were 30% more irritated than usual.
They turned their gaze away from Nishino with resentment in their hearts.
No reply has been given to his greetings.
78
He doesn't expect to be approached so easily. Unperturbed, he walks briskly to his seat. He puts his bag down on his desk, sits down in his chair and begins to move his belongings quickly into his desk.
As he does this, he hears a buzzing sound coming from his pants.
It seems to be an incoming call on his phone.
"...... Who is it?"
The screen showed the name of the person he had just registered in his address book yesterday. It's Igarashi Natsuki, a self-proclaimed saba saba girl. Not only did Nishino have a message app account, he also had a phone number.
"......"
And this surprised him, too.
He hadn't expected to get a call yesterday. He checked the screen. His eyes widened. The students looking at him could see that his eyes, which have a reputation for being thin and narrow, had been opened to the level of a human being. The pride of Odd-Eyed Nishino, the blue eyes, were on display.
As he was doing this, a voice came to him in surprise.
"What are you surprised about?"
"..."
79
It was Gabu-chan.
Before he knew it, she was approaching from behind Nishino. Her eyes were fixed on the screen over Nishino's body. What she sees is the name of someone she knows. It was a colleague from her part-time job.
"...... It's nothing. Don't worry about it."
"I know that name."
"I'm sure it does. We worked together at the same place."
"You made a move on a girl from work?"
"No, we just exchanged contact details."
It was still ringing, and there was no way he was going to keep the caller waiting. Nishino suppressed his impatience and tried to accept the call. For the first time in his life, he receives a call from someone he cares about. The regular vibrating sound of the phone stirs the heart of the virgin who is hungry for a woman.
On the other hand, all his classmates are astonished.
Nishino has exchanged contact details with a girl from his part-time job. He even exchanged his phone number with her. It's not a coincidence, but when Gabriella is the one who confirms it, there's no room for doubt. Unlike at the festival, none of the students made fun of her.
"Sorry, but I have to take this call."
"It was just before school, and I was getting tangled up with my classmates in the classroom."
"Oh, well, I'll call you back."
"No problem. What do you want, anyway?"
80
He mumbles to himself and presses the answer button.
The look of pride on his face struck a nerve with his classmates. This is especially true for the middle and lower caste boys who have little contact with the opposite sex. Even at the top of the caste, Suzuki glared at him with a blatantly resentful expression.
"Hello, it's me. What's up?"
It was a terrible response.
The chairwoman, who, because of her seating position, could not help overhearing the exchange between him and Gabriella, felt goosebumps rise on her arms. A shiver ran up her spine and she looked up to see him.
There he was, hunched over in his chair, his legs crossed in an exaggerated manner.
"......"
Shimizu returned her gaze to the textbook at hand and covered her ears with earphones.
"I'm sorry, are you busy?"
"It was just before school, and I was getting tangled up with my classmates in the classroom."
81
In response to the question from the self-proclaimed saba saba girl, Nishino takes no time at all to show off his cheerfulness. It is true that the student was involved, but the other party was Gabriella. They talk about it as if they were just joking around with good friends.
He was the kind of guy who wanted to show off his good looks to Igarashi, no matter what.
Igarashi wants to show off her coolness to him at all costs.
In contrast, the self-proclaimed saba saba girl, who mistakenly believes that he is the young master of a major outlaw group, seems unconcerned. For her, personality was not a big issue, as she wanted Nishino to be able to give her a good position.
And so the two of them began to talk amicably.
A smile appeared on the Futumen's face.
Gabu-chan didn't like this.
"Excuse me for a moment."
She takes Nishino's arm in her own, holding the phone in her hand.
Then, with her fingertip, she lightly touched the speaker icon on the screen. In response, the call was routed to an external speaker. The other person's voice reached the ears of everyone in the classroom, not just the students.
"Is it true that you're working a shift today, Nishino?"
82
The voice of a self-proclaimed saba saba girl echoed in the classroom.
It was a genuine young woman's voice. And it was rather pretty.
"Seriously, that's a real woman's voice!"
"No, it's not......."
"And isn't she young?"
"So it's true that Nishino has started dating?"
"I don't know why he did it."
"No, no, no, no, there must be a reason."
"He's probably just using the phone number of his part-time job as his girlfriend's name."
"I don't know, but that's just sad."
Immediately, the classroom began to buzz. Naturally, Igarashi could feel it.
"Oh, what? There's something else in the background."
"Oh, I'm sorry. My classmates are playing a prank on me."
Nishino shakes off Gabriella's hand and returns the phine to its original settings. Dismissed, she stares at him with a look of disapproval. However, the futsumen man is obsessed with his caller. Even though he has a beaten expression on his face, he doesn't respond in any way.
"Oh, you're back."
"So what can I do for you? ......"
After a series of responses, the self-proclaimed saba saba girl imagined Nishino's situation over the line. She imagined that his friend was teasing him about his phone calls with the opposite sex, and that he was being played. And he continued to do so in a tone of voice that sounded like he wasn't complaining.
83
Igarashi felt that this was something of a response and continued.
"I wanted to know what you were going to do today. I was wondering what I should do, because one of the other girls asked me to help. If you're on shift, I was thinking of going too. Oh, I'm sorry to call you about this?"
"No, don't worry about it. You can call me anytime you like."
"Really? You're so sweet, Nishino-kun. I think I'm in love with you."
"....."
For Nishino, this is another happy occasion.
He is a virgin who cannot control the excitement in his heart when he is told such a thing.
"So, are you working a shift today?"
"Yeah, I will be working."
"I'll join you then."
According to the original plan, he would not be coming to work until the end of the week.
But now it's a different story. Without even thinking about the restaurant's situation, I tell them about the shift I haven't even started. I thought I would contact the owner during my lunch break and try to book a position as a dishwasher.
"Sorry to call you when you're so busy? See you later."
"Yeah, see you."
84
This is frustrating for all the virgins in Class 2A.- What would happen if Nishino got a girlfriend and I didn't? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to stand it.- The reality that I had tried not to see until now was exposed in front of me because of the futsumen.
And this is the same for Suzuki-kun.
After breaking up with his ex-girlfriend in order to go out with the chairwoman, he got caught up in Matsuura-san's threesome, and has been living a life where his reputation has not improved in spite of his facial deviation and achievements in club activities. As usual, there has been no progress with Shimizu, and the days of not being able to have sex with the opposite sex continue.
"Hey, Nishino"
"What is it? Suzuki."
He stands right next to Gabriella and talks to the futsumen.
"Are you really friends with her?"
You should stop being stupid, is the honest thought of Takeuchi-kun who witnessed the situation.
This is a good looking man who has done similar things in the past and is currently in a lot of trouble. He has been kidnapped by thugs, had to dress up as a woman in public, almost stabbed with a kitchen knife, and has had a series of mishaps in the last few months.
"No, I'm not sure if she's a friend or not."
"........"
85
The immediate outburst of the Nishino phrase struck a nerve in Suzuki-kun.
Naturally his mouth was full of defiant words.
"Do they call you to check your shifts, or do they avoid you at work?"
The question that was asked made a lot of sense to everyone who overheard the conversation on the phone.
"...... I'd like to assume otherwise. "
"Hmmm?"
Nishino is no different. A bad thought flashed through my mind that this might be the case. But if so, the two conversations don't add up. If the other side is lying, there is no limit to it, but what is the truth?
I'm not sure what the truth is.
"So why don't we place a bet?"
"What do you mean by bet? Suzuki."
"I don't know if you're going to be able to keep in touch with your current friend until next year. There's nothing wrong with that, right? As a guy in the same class, I'm always interested in my classmate's success with the girl at his part-time job."
".........."
86
The proposal from Suzuki-kun appeared to Nishino as a kind of test.
Maintaining a long-term relationship with the opposite sex.
This was a skill that Rose had pointed out to him in the past, and one that he could not avoid in his dealings with women. She had told him to his face that it was impossible to get a girlfriend without it. It was his hope that he would be able to use this opportunity to tackle this hurdle.
He is a man who thinks that if he could, he would like to have a self-proclaimed saba saba girlfriend. At the same time, the idea of sharing a common interest in the opposite sex with a good looking guy in his class was a very attractive surprise for a guy at the bottom of the school caste.
There was no way he could not accept Suzuki's proposal.
"Okay, I think I'll take that bet."
"Are you sure? You said it."
"But what do you bet on?"
"Let's see......."
After a few seconds of hesitation, Suzuki answered.
He looked at the person he was interested in out of the corner of his eye.
"If I win, you won't bother the chairwoman again, will you?"
87
Suzuki thought that he should appeal to Shimizu as well.
These days, Shimizu and Nishino have been exchanging words in a strange way. He doesn't like this, but it's the perfect opportunity for him to get rid of the nuisance in front of him.
For his own sake, he can kill two birds with one stone and have a good reason to mess with Nishino.
"What? Why me......"
The chairwoman was bewildered by the unexpected mention of the topic.
Suzuki's voice penetrated the earphones and reached her ears. Her gaze shifts from the reference book to the boys arguing in the next two seats. The look on her fac says, Why are you dragging me into this?
In response to this, she asks, taking their arguments literally.
"Is that all you want? "
"There's nothing else I want from you."
"..... Okay."
Nishino's gaze on Suzuki-kun changed.
His words must have struck a chord with him.
He felt that the way he was talking now was cool.
88
"If that's the case, I don't have anything to demand."
"......."
Inspired by Suzuki-kun, the futsumen immediately put on a cynical air. He sat down on a chair and crossed his legs in an exaggerated manner. The person who heard this was annoyed to no end.
However, Suzuki told himself that raising his fist at this point would be just what the other person wanted, so he turned on his heel and walked away from the Futsumen seat. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and let Nishino out of his sight. I'm not going to get upset about this, I'm not going to get upset about this.
89
As he leaves, he looks back over his shoulder at Nishino and briefly tells him.
"Well, that's it then."
90
"Yes, I understand."
Watching the two of them interact, Takeuchi thought. This is the kind of thing Suzuki will have a hard time with, he thought.
◇ ◆ ◇
After school on the same day, Nishino showed up at his part-time job with great enthusiasm.
Initially, he had planned to work on Saturday and Sunday and then wait until his next shift. However, the virgin, hungry for the company of the self-proclaimed saba saba girl, had asked the owner for a shift during his lunch break that day.
Normally, this would have been unacceptable. He had been reluctantly accepted in the first place in order to attract Rose and Gabriella. Once a week is enough for me, says the owner.
However, after the incident with the yakuza boss, his attitude towards Nishino has changed. When he told her that he wanted to work again today, he started his shift at any time he wanted. He was given the opportunity to work as he wished.
By the way, Rose and Gabriella are with him.
During the lunch break, they confirmed their after-school schedule with Nishino, and their shifts were also decided.
91
" ...... "
However, the nature of his work at his part-time job remains the same. He washes dishes all the time. This is because he works in a maid café, where there are few opportunities for men to play an active role. Once he has changed into his uniform and is standing in the kitchen, he just keeps on washing the dishes in silence. It's a simple job that requires a lot of patience.
Furthermore, as the work is carried out by one man, there is no communication with other employees. At best, they say a few words to each other as they bring in the dishes.
Thanks to Rose and Gabriella, the restaurant has been busy since the day it opened, and the maids working in the hall have been busy too. Naturally, the two most popular maids are so busy serving customers that they are less likely to visit the kitchen than other maids.
However, on the same day, there was a slight change in his surroundings.
The presence of a self-proclaimed saba saba girl.
"Nishino-kun, take care of this too."
"Yeah, I'll take care of it."
"Oh, yeah. I'll give you this."
Igarashi, who had brought in the empty dishes, held something out in front of Nishino's face.
It was a neat little chocolate in the shape of a coin. Normally, it would be used as a topping on a cake or something to serve to customers. She plucked it up with her fingertips and held it close to the man's mouth.
92
"Say, ahh!"
"......."
Nishino's facial expression tightened as he was surprised by the action.
He is a virgin who has never had the experience of being fed by the opposite sex. The chocolate, which is almost to his lips, and Igarashi's fingertips, which are touching it, make his heart beat faster.
"No, I can eat it myself."
"Your hands are soaking wet from washing up, aren't they? "
"........."
"Here you go."
Yes, it's no use if your hands are soaking wet. If you can't take it and eat it, then you have to let others do it for you. While repeating this excuse in his mind, Nishino opened his mouth in a fearful manner.
In no time at all, the chocolate came at him.
The sweet stuff is put in his mouth.
At the same time, her fingertip touched his lips.
93
"......"
"What do you think? Tasty?"
The touch was short-lived.
But the touch of human skin, which he felt in that way, was more than the chocolate that had begun to melt in his mouth, and it had taken Nishino's consciousness away. Before he knew it, his hands had stopped washing the dishes, and his eyes, as thin as lines, were as wide as humanly possible. It was a complete change from the time he had tried to kiss Francisca.
".......What's wrong Nishino-kun "
"No, nothing"
But it was only for a few moments. In a rush, he mends himself and bites a piece of chocolate. The sticky sweetness of the chocolate fills his mouth and soothes his body and mind, exhausted from standing. At hand, his arm moves again and he begins to wash the dishes.
The self-proclaimed saba saba girl smiles inwardly when he sees his lush reaction.
It will be easy to win him over, she thinks.
She played the abacus in her brain and said that if she asked him out on a date this weekend and had a good time with him, she could easily lose him. Even with the presence of Rose and Gabriella, Igarashi felt like she had a good shot. She decided that it would be easy to settle down next to Nishino.
It's going to come in handy for a long time to come, she thought, based on the first reaction of the two men. At this rate, she would not only be able to finance herself at her part-time job, but would also be able to clear her own consumer credit debts. Such an idea is steadily developing in her mind.
94
"Then I'll be back in the hall. "
"Oh, oh, good luck. "
Watching Igarashi leave, Nishino's mouth formed a small smile.
◇ ◆ ◇
The incident took place when Nishino and his colleagues were leaving work.
Gabriella, returning to the changing room after her shift, struck Rose, who was also changing in the room. The blonde Lolita was in a hurry to take off her maid's uniform, not wanting to be left behind by Nishino on her way home. The silver-haired Lolita gave Rose a punch in the stomach with all her might.
Rose's body blew up and hit the locker, making a loud noise.
The blood leaking from her mouth stained the floor red and crisp.
It seems to have been a very powerful blow, and the abdomen began to turn black in the blink of an eye. It seems that his internal organs have been damaged. The shape of the ribs was also suspicious. It was a blow that would have killed any normal person.
Behind her, the locker she had crashed into was crushed and her mouth was half open.
95
"...... Why do I have to be beaten up?"
"What is the meaning of this?"
Rose asks, still in her half-undressed maid's uniform. Her face was glaring at her opponent with great intensity. Even though she could not get up on her own feet, she was still determined to fight her way out of the situation.
Gabu-chan, on the other hand, is still in her maid's uniform. Her fists don't seem to have been bruised. It seems to have been a blow made possible by the power of magic. She took out her uniform from her locker and showed it to Rose, neatly folded.
It was drenched in a liquid that looked like mayonnaise.
"You're a very bad eater."
"Isn't this a trick of yours?"
"No, it's not."
"Then why is there a blonde hair in the mix?"
It's different. No Why is the blonde mixed
As Gabriella had pointed out, there was a blonde hair on top of the mayonnaise. It was only a hair, but it was long enough to be recognisable at a glance. The glossy shade was a perfect match for Rose's hair.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"......... "
96
If it hadn't been Gabriella who was arguing with her, she would certainly have hit her back. Even though she was half killed, you could see the fighting spirit in her eyes. You can feel the will to take it by the throat if she likes.
And Gabriella was not afraid to use her strength to hit her because she was her opponent. She is a blonde Lolita whose body and soul will not be dented by a little. It's not only the natural healing that is scary, but also the mental toughness that is hidden inside the heart.
"...... Well, okay. "
"What about hitting a person unilaterally and saying that?"
"It is the fault of my sister, who is in a position to be accused. "
"Isn't it your fault that you are in a position to be jealous of others?"
Two Lolitas looking at each other. It's a fight that has become a rather common sight since they came to live together. This time it was a third person who started it, but the same kind of argument happens every day.
"Not one word of apology for your mistake? "
"Do you have a masochistic nature, sister?"
Gabriella had come to the conclusion that Rose was not the culprit.
The fact that her clothes were covered in mayonnaise did not benefit the person in front of her in any way.
97
She thought it unlikely that her sister, a professional in her field, would make the mistake of leaving a hair of her head at the scene.
It was Gabu-chan who got a little ahead of herself.
In the meantime, people had gathered outside the room to hear the noise. The owner of the shop was at the head of the group, followed by Nishino and the self-proclaimed saba saba girl. The others were busy in the shop, which was now open for business. The noise was audible, but they didn't seem to have time to visit.
"I heard a loud noise coming from the changing room, what's going on?"
The owner asks.
Then the door of the changing room was opened quickly.
Gabu-chan, dressed as a maid, appeared. In the background, Rose has somehow managed to get to her feet and adjust her half-undressed maid's uniform. If she zipped up her skirt and buttoned up her shirt, she was at least presentable.
However, the blood she spat out on her feet still stains the floor with a sticky residue. You can see the splatter on her mouth and on her maid's uniform. The owner naturally screamed at the sight of the scene.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?"
98
You could have called the police. It is even more so when it is a young student who works there. The presence of a large broken locker tells the viewer that it is not just blood that has been spilled. He was sure that there had been some kind of violent act.
However, Gabu-chan's response is unconcerned.
"Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal."
"No, no, no, the locker's a mess. And isn't this, like, blood? I mean, Rose? You look a little pale, but are you feeling okay?"
"You are a person who is obsessed with details......."
Gabriella watched the panicked owner and made her move.
She walked through the changing room to the bottom of the locker she was using. There, carefully folded, is a mayonnaise-stained uniform. From its inner pocket he pulls out a sheaf of paper and runs a pen across it.
The others look on, wondering what is going on.
She tore off a piece of paper with a pen in it and presented it to the owner.
"I will pay for it. Please get a new locker."
"Eh...."
99
It was a check.
In the centre was a seven-digit number.
"And she's just got a stomachache. You don't need to worry about her."
"No, I mean, Gabriella ......"
"You don't believe me? It's true."
"............."
He refrained from raising his voice in question, feeling strangely empowered by the heavily vandalised locker and the blood staining the room. He refrained from raising questions. The fact that yesterday Nishino had been talking to the yakuza bosses in a friendly manner also lends credence to her words and actions.
The owner was aware that Gabriella and Rose were going to and from work with Nishino. In the first place, it was difficult to recruit them without the presence of the futsumen. This naturally led him to consider the relationship between the three workers.
"Just take it. Are you sure you don't want to take it?"
"Uh, yeah. ...... Thank you, Gabriella."
The owner stopped to think about it and accepted the check with open arms.
He regretted his past recruitment practices, as he had recruited some terrible children.
