Chapter 244: The Next Day’s Conversation (1/2)

“So you made up your mind.”

Upon hearing Itsuki’s question the next day, Amane nodded earnestly, and Itsuki shrugged.

“I don’t have to worry about anything if it’s Kido’s recommendation, and anyway, it’s a good thing that you settled on one. I”m just wondering what you have to say.”

“Hm, well, she’s quite the personality.”

“If you say so, then she probably is.”

Now I’m curious, Itsuki leaned his entire body onto the chair, and Amane showed a wry smile, but he did not intend to say so. If he did, Itsuki would probably visit him soon.

At the very least, given that he would be starting work, he did not intend for any of his acquaintances to visit him until he got used to it, or even Mahiru.

Mahiru kicked quite the fuss when Amane told her so in the morning, and 10 minutes or so was spent coaxing and doting on her.

Speaking of Mahiru, she was chatting with Chitose, and it seemed the latter was leering at him. Amane decided to ignore her, for any reaction he showed would make Chitose gleeful.

“Well, I think she does have her quirks, but I should be able to work there. Kido said that if there’s anything, I can look for Kayano.”

“Ah, her boyfriend, right? The guy with the hidden muscles.”

“He’ll probably feel weird about it if you say that to him…and he’ll give Kido a condescending look.”

Kayano would most probably direct his ire towards Kido, who pointed this out, rather than the person saying so.

Kido herself probably showed no remorse, and Kayano really had it tough.

“Well, I’m quite relieved that there’s someone I know there. According to the owner, the regulars are usually of the older demographic, easygoing folk, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“Oh, that’s good. Anyway, congrats on confirming your part-time job. If there’s anything, don’t forget to discuss with me next time.”

“Alright alright. I’ll rely on you, buddy.”

It seemed Itsuki still had a grudge over it. Amane slapped Itsuki hard in the back, and the latter appeared to be hiding his embarrassment as he turned his lips into a scowl, slapping back at Amane’s back with more strength.

It was his show of friendship, you bastard, and Amane coughed as he laughed, gently nudging his fist onto Itsuki’s cheek.

While giving the tense cheek a strange attack, Amane glanced aside at Mahiru. She was looking at them with her cheeks puffed, seemingly displeased.
