Chapter 5 (1/2)
Part Time Job!
The clock showed it was late at night.
Everyone was asleep as they usually were at this time. Though my room's lights are still on.
”Hey Fio-san. Can I ask you something?. . .”
”O-k,Yuri. You know that I support you in your love crusade. Please don't hold anything back,tell me everything.”
I folded my arms and rested them desk,smiling while doing it.The candle illuminated Yuri's face as I looked up towards her.She had a serious expression.
Why would such a pious nun visit me so lately in the night? What possible could does she want to ask that it needs to be at this time.
She hesitated for a little bit, then she finally opened her mouth.
”Tomorrow, Ray-san, at 10 O'clock for 1 hour please!. . .”
Her request was kind of broken and would be hard to understand. However I can fully understand it. It is not the first time she requested something along the lines of this.
She always has a hard time to put it clearly.So I smiled as much as I could and responded to her.
”Well,leave it to me.However Yuri. . . . Do you have want I need though?”
”Er, that. . .Is 20G enough?”
”20G!? Why is it so cheap this time? Well I can maybe I can work for that cheap.”
I raised my eyebrows to the amount of money telling her I was surprised.
Hmm,Well she was very generous before. Although she has a dynamite glamorous body, seems her heart may not be as big.
”I know it's not the usual amount but my perfume has reduced my pocket money so much. . . .Even though I can skillfully invite Alto-sama out for a date, even my date funds are in a tough state. . .”
”That's quite the problem. However what does that have to do with the request?”
”Eh?um, that. But. . .”
I cut off her excuses so she can rely on my kindness and looked at her with cold eyes. . . . and reminded her not to try and guilt me into her request.
”Don't worry Yuri. If you take some out of the dating fund.Cause if you don't have me you may not succeed in even inviting him out.So don't worry.If you want I'll be flexible, You can give me the rest later on, so do you understand?”
She was bewildered bt my quick response and att.i.tude, once I finished I smiled at her.If you don't ask you don't receive.(貰うものは貰う。)(TN:think this is a saying hope I got it.)
”U-understood. . . .is 50G good?”
”. . . Well, it is true the Yuri is having a tough financial situation. So only for this time it will be okay.”
Alright, I was able to negotiate a better price.Females are usually really hard to negotiate with sometimes.Truly frightening creatures. Although Yuri is quiet right now, if there is even a gap in the price she will take it. A born negotiator.
”T-thank you very much, Fio-san.”
”Leave it to me.Think of it down, I am a business person, I keep my word. Kukuku. . . .”
Fortunately this deal was finalized quickly and nicely.Yuri is a relatively easy-to-do cla.s.s,but it is a hard time to bargaining like this everytime.I wonder if there is an easier”Part-time job”?(バイト)
”. . . . What are you girls doing!?”
”Kyaa!”
”Uwaa~?”
That scared me!
There was a thud at the door. I looked over and there was Root with a scary expression. He didn't even knock.
”Root don't suddenly yell.”
”T-that scared me. Root-san, is something wrong?”
”I was shocked myself! What dubious scheme are you guys planning!?”
Ahh,I see. Did he hear our conversation?
”This is a business talk.”
”There is somewhat a disturbing atmosphere. Yuri, are you by chance being deceived by Fio or something?”
”That's how you see me!?”
Does Root think of me as a bad guy? It's the opposite, I am listening to her dirty desires.
”T-That, it's actually me requesting her to do something dirty. . . ”
”Root, where you purposely listening to two women talking secretly?I guess we eventually see the true character of a person.”(その内容を根掘り葉掘り聞くんじゃねぇよ.)(TN:Just making sure.)
”T-That. . .that certainly wasn't consideerate of my, sorry.”
Alright I may be able to s.h.i.+ft blame.
”However, are you sure your not being deceived? Because Fio breathes lie and is quite corrupted.”
”Oi Root,are you trying to start a fight?”
” Uh, it's alright. . . .Just asked her for a small request of making sure Ray-san doesn't leave the house.”
”Doesn't leave the house?”
Well said Yuri.I would've hurt my heart to think I was deceiving them.
