Chapter 80: Started working part-time but…?
As we walked towards our workplace, Tobise-san striked up a conversation yet again.
Nee~ Nee~, Tsukasa-kun, do you perhaps like Sei-chan?
Tobise-san asked me with sparkling eyes.
I guess shes at the age where shed get excited over love talk. Im sure shell grow out of it when shes older.
Yeah.. I like her.
Its that kind of like, isnt it? You like her as something more than a friend right? More than a friend right?!
Yeah, I do.
I answered her question honestly.
Sei-chan just wanted to hide our relationship, but Im pretty sure she wouldnt mind me telling others that I like her.
I knew it! I knew it! When I asked about who you would be happier to go out with it was very clear that youd be happier with Sei-chan!
Eh? Is that so?
YEAHH! When it was about Sei-chan, you were like If possible, Id be happy to go out with her. But when it was about me you were like Im pretty sure any man would be happy to go out with her.
I didnt notice it myself, but it might have been a subconscious decision on my end.
I mean can you really discern that much from just a slight change in an answer.
Tobise-san might be a natural airhead but shes not stupid either. Im also pretty sure that she went to the best college in the area.
Tsukasa-kun, arent you going to confess your feelings to Sei-chan?
How should I answer this? Ive already confessed to her, but I have to keep it a secret that were dating.
Well, I dont feel like doing it just yet.
I guess Ill just have to lie here. If I told the truth Id be bombarded by questions like How did it go!? or what happened after the confession.
Is that so? Im feeling a connection though.
How do you feel the connection?
Fufu, its what I call womens intuition.
I see
Ahh, you dont believe me, do you? You think Im messing with you!
Of course not. After all, your hunch is right. I cant tell you that though.
Cmon, Cmon, If we dont hurry up well be late for work.
Ahh, right. Lets go then.
Tobise-san and I walked faster in order to reach the shop. Thank god we made it on time.
Manager Saitos wife was in the shop today as well, so we greeted her quickly. His wife was very kind, always smiling and easy to talk to.
Manager Saito and his wife, Ryouka, both seem to be over sixty years old, but they seem to be very intimate with each other.
I want to stay intimate with Sei-chan for a long time too.
Hisamura-kun. Its a weekday today so there wont be much customers today, so lets learn a couple more dishes while were at it.
Eh? Already?
Eh? Hisamura-kun is already able to quickly learn how to man the frontlines so I think it should be fine, Also Tobise-san is at the frontlines today so it should be fine. And if you were to learn how to cook, it would be of a great help to us. We will also raise your salary accordingly of course.
O-Oh, thank you very much.
I didnt expect to be taught to cook on the very second day of my part-time job.
Part of it is because I used to worked part-time at a chain cafe, but if it wasnt for Tobise-san, I wouldnt have gotten this far either.
Manager, what about me?
I need Tobise-san in charge of the frontlines. Tobise-san is very sociable, so I think you would be best fit for the job.
Yeah. Thats true, the right person for the right job! Good luck Tsukasa-kun.
Hai, Thank you very much.
Seems like Tobise-san will be in charge of the hall while Im in charge of the kitchen for today.
Certainly, if it were me and Tobise-san, Tobise-san was much more suited for the hall work, while Im more suited towards the kitchen. [TLN: Men who can cook are really attractive.] [EDN: I agree, need to learn one day]
The store manager gave us this careful consideration. Actually everyone that thought about it a bit can come to this conclusion.
Marino-chan, dont rush about. Youll spill the food and drinks.
Understood! Ill make sure to carry it very slowly.
Tobise-san received training from the Ryouka while I was receiving cooking lessons from the manager.
Un, The sandwiches taste fine like this. Tsukasa-kun, youre a fast learner arent you.
Its because the managers teaching style is easy to grasp.
Fufu, youre good at giving compliments too.
While having idle chatter with the manager, I was smoothly learning how to cook various dishes. Tobise-san was also making less mistakes and doing well on the front lines.
Tsukasa-kun, a sandwich for table 4.
Ryouka There are several types of sandwiches, which kind do they want?
Ehh? Ahh I forgot.
I thought I told you to write down the order every time you get one.
Ahh, thats true, wait it only says sandwich on this list.
Please ask for their order again.
Hai
Haah, I still cant perfectly replicate it. Its something that grows through experience I guess.
With that, an hour passed by. There was a lack of customers compared to the weekends.
But that doesnt mean that there were no customers in the cafe, there were always at least ten customers visiting us.
And with that the sound of the bell rang when a customer came through the door.
Welcome-
Tobise-san reacted immediately and gave a smile in response.
I could see them from the kitchen, so I turned towards them and tried to greet them too.
Welc-Whaa?
The moment I saw her my voice stopped. A woman wearing a black newsboy cap came in.
She was also wearing black skinny jeans, a black leather jacket with a black knit shirt underneath. [TLN: Bulletproof disguise, I wonder who it is.] [EDN: Bets on Rie-chan!]
She was also wearing sunglasses making her extremely suspicious to anyone that saw her. However she had outstanding style with a cool atmosphere surrounding her, it feels like a celebrity going incognito so that they wouldnt get found out.
And well, the hair colour that couldnt be hidden was silver in colour. No, before I go judging her by her hair colour, thats Sei-chan isnt it? [TLN: NO WAY] [EDN: damn it.]
Its not her usual vibe but I can tell that its Sei-chan. Eh? Why is she at the shop?
No, whats more puzzling is why are you wearing such an outfit as if you were hiding your identity?
Ahh Youre too good looking for me. Youre so cool!!
