Eh, Ill ask the owner. They said theyre lacking manpower, so I think it should be fine.
Amane hurriedly contacted Kido, whose number he exchanged with during the preparation of the cultural festival. She in turn gave an intrigued voice.
Amane did not intend for Mahiru to hear, for he wanted to give her a surprise, so he said this at the apartnts entrance. He had assud she would be troubled as this was too sudden a request, but he instead was troubled as it went unexpectedly smoothly.
No, but is there an interview or sothing?
Probably, since so vettings needed. My recomndation ans that youre fine, personality-wise, but is Shiina-san fine with that? We do serve our staff well, but will Shiina-san get jealous?
Erm, well
A few female custors approached Amane during the cultural festival, asking for his contact, and Mahiru got jealous. Amane did not wish that Mahiru would be worried about his actions. Of course, he was not one to cast his eyes aside, and she probably trusted him, but her feelings were different matter.
And anyway, why did you suddenly want to work?
Amane clamd up the mont this simple question was asked.
If he shared his secret with Kido, she would not ntion it to Mahiru, but it was still embarrassing of him to ntion that he was saving money to buy her a ring.
Everyone he knew already understood how much he doted on Mahiru, and he knew that, but it was not easy to profess that he was going to buy a ring.
But Kido might not accept his reason if he did not say so. As the one recomnding work for him, it would not be good to hide the reason.
Erm, its like this. Mind if you dont tell anyone else? Especially Mahiru.
Ah, I understand. You want to give her a gift, right? A Christmas present or sothing.
N-not thatits about next year. I-I want to give her a ring
Amanes voice got softer, and by the ti he was done, silence beckoned.
Youre still a student, arent you being too impatient? Amane anxiously awaited Kidos response, but after a long silence of ten seconds or so, its blinding over the phone, she muttered so.
I see. Better not work at my place then. Youre working hard for Shiina-san, but if a boyfriends going to work at a place where hes constantly harassed by the won, shes not going to be happy.
It was reasonable, of course, so he replied so, and started thinking of other plans, like searching for a recruitnt site once he got ho. How about this, however, the voice ca,
I can recomnd another cafe to you. Theres one opened by my aunt. Its quieter, and might suit your personality better.
Sounds goodbut you never worked there?
Ah, actually, I cant really handle her
And youre recomnding to her? Im sorry to trouble you.
No no no, I dont an that. My aunt doesnt have kids, so she really dotes on . Im just worried that she spoils too much that I cant be independent.
Kido sounded conflicted rather than annoyed. The way her aunt treated her might be similar to how Shihoko treated Mahiru, but Shihoko clearly saw how reliable Mahiru was, and wanted to dote, which made things a little different.
Ill check with my aunt. How about you make a visit there once Im done? Youll feel more at ease working there then.
Thanks for thatbut wont I trouble you too much?
Its fine. I know you love Shiina-san, so Ill give you a hand. You can discuss the matter of the ring with , you know?
Well, I might have to ask you and Chitose then.
Hehe, leave it to .
It would be best to inquire girls on the matter of the ring. After all, Chitose had been concerned about Amane and Chitose, and it was appropriate to ask her. He hoped that they would be present to help, if possible.
It would be a long ti later however, so he made a vague promise, Ill contact you later. Maybe well talk in school, once Kido was done, she hung up.
Work, is it?
Mahiru was resting in the living room when he returned. He greeted her, and she seed surprised by this as she looked over at him.
On a side note, his parents were cooking in the kitchen, for Mahiru said that she wanted their cooking for dinner.
Why are you thinking of working at this mont? We will be in our third year, and we should be preparing for our exams soon.
He could not hide the matter of him working in any case, so after he ntioned so, Mahiru gave a very logical rebuttal.
He wanted to keep it a secret as much as possible, until he handed the ring to her, but he knew it was unnatural to start working part-ti midway through his second year.
Ah, erm, I got sothing I want. Sothing I really, really want.
Want?
And also, to gain social experience. Of course, the shift wont affect my studies. So guys will retire from their clubs next year, and I should have saved up so money by then. I should be able to get back to focus on my studies before the mock exams. I think a condition is that Ill do as well as those in the clubs. I worked hard for my grades, and Im not going to let them slide, and even if I do, Im not going to use my work as an excuse.
Amane had never worked, nor did he partake in any clubs, so he had more ti than those who did join the clubs, and could focus on his studies. He would need to work harder if he started working.
He intended to improve on his studies, to pay attention in class, and imdiately grasp the knowledge he was taught.
He looked at her sternly, and she awkwardly lowered her eyebrows.
I should not say more about this. I shall respect your decision since you have put your mind to it. It is just that I will feel lonely, for our ti together will decrease
The sowhat forlorn smile nearly shook Amanes resolve, but he was never going to compromise, and smiled,
Sorry, but Ill tell you when Ill be on leave then.
It sounds like that will be a problem too.
Why?
We-well, whenever you say soit seems that you will really dote on .
Arent you lonely?
Th-there has to be a limit, or I will find it unbearable.
Mahiru bashfully lowered her eyes, and leaned onto his arm. He grabbed her hand, as a practice, and pulled her closer.
