The Legend of Chiba Tutoring

Chapter 332 I’m quite short of people.

Ever since he realized this huge problem, Rintaro suddenly recovered his previous mental outlook, sat on the tatami, folded his hands, and meditated.

Why do you have no money?

Because the car fare during the summer vacation, the cost of shopping, the cost of buying drinks, the electricity and water bills, and the rent in Chiba... these all require real money.What about income?Rintaro had zero income last month, not even a penny.

All the money I use now was saved before the summer vacation.

Rintaro's salary is not high, Chiba's consumption level is not low, and he only has a small amount of savings. Of course, after a month, there won't be much money left.

He didn't even need to go to the bank to check how much money he had left. Rintaro calculated with his fingers that he would probably have to save a little to live this month.

...There are still a few days left in the summer vacation, and since there is nothing else to do, going out to do odd jobs seems to be a good choice.There shouldn't be any students working part-time during the summer vacation at the nearby convenience store, right?I can use my familiarity to earn a few days' salary and pay this month's rent, which should last for a while.

Then he would get lunch and dinner from Katase Yorai for free. If he had some breakfast or not at all, he would probably not die and could survive.

Is this the survival issue that tutors in the 21st century should consider?What a hardship.

Originally, he was going to ask directly, but Rintaro was a little tired now, so he went directly to the tatami and planned to take a nap first.

After taking a short break, Rintaro headed to the nearby Hana Hana Convenience Store.The manager of the convenience store seemed to be standing there all the time, with a smile on his face and squinting eyes.

This man's name is Hirata Sanosuke, and the style of his name is somewhat similar to Rintaro's. He is not a native of Chiba, but he has never said where he is from. He is a very outrageous person.Don't look at him standing there motionless, people who know his details will know... he is sleeping standing up.

It may seem strange to say this, but it's true, he really does sleep standing up.Whenever someone walked in from outside the convenience store, the loud noise would wake him up, and he would greet the customer with that squinty smile until they left.

Then go back to sleep.

Rintaro didn't quite understand why he would rather sleep than play with his mobile phone. Anyway, Rintaro did it when he wasn't there.

As for when he is present...then all I can do is read books and study.

Rintaro stood in front of the convenience store and looked at him quietly for about ten seconds. Because he had not entered the store, the welcome sound did not appear and he was still sleeping.Rintaro took a step forward, and a "ding" sound sounded.

"Welcome." He made a voice as precise as a robot.

"...What, it turns out to be Rentaro."

Smiling and squinting, his expression suddenly relaxed and became lazy.

"I haven't seen you for a month, right? Went on a trip? When did you come back?"

"Just came back. Also, my name is Rintaro." Rintaro was too lazy to complain about the store manager: "Why did you start slacking off in the afternoon?"

"It's really ugly to say it. I call it a strategic rest. Besides, it's still summer vacation, Rentaro. This is the apartment next to it. Many people have gone out for travel. There are no people there. Why don't you take a break in the afternoon? How can I survive a whole day? I put the overall situation first."

"Then why don't you just sleep on your stomach."

"You're fine. I'm the store manager. If you sleep on your stomach, your salary will be deducted by your superiors."

This reason is quite sufficient.

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I come back. I need to buy something quickly. I'm so worried that I kept falling asleep. I'm still a little sleepy now, so it'll be easier to fall asleep again."

"...Are you still in need of someone right now?"

"Do you think I'm in need of someone now?...Oh, Rentaro, you can't stand being a tutor anymore, are you ready to come back?"

"No. They don't need a tutor for the summer vacation. I'm running out of money, so I have to find a job first. Also, my name is Rintaro."

"Ah. That's just right. I'm quite short of people here. You can help me first. The salary is paid every Monday. It's calculated based on working hours. It's [-] yen per hour. Can you start working from now on?"

"Didn't you say there is no shortage of people?"

"I am the store manager, and I receive a fixed salary plus turnover bonus. As long as there is someone here, it will be fine. I don't give you your salary anyway. It just so happens that you have worked here before, so the procedures are very convenient. Then I'm sorry to bother you, but I still put my clothes in the same place. When it's time, just close the windows, close the door, and turn off the electricity. If you don't come tomorrow morning, remember to say goodbye."

As he spoke, he took off his apron, placed it on the counter, and walked toward the employee changing room.

Rintaro was used to it and didn't pay too much attention to this problem.After getting a temporary job, all he has to do now is stand in that position and pass the time.

Although this seems a bit casual, it is also because the store manager knows Rintaro, and he is indeed the only one in the store. If it were someone else, or there was another clerk in the store, Rintaro would only I can try my luck elsewhere.

This unreliable man is pretty good at keeping his job.

Rintaro had worked here before, and he had a uniform top that barely fit him. He could put on this shirt and wear an apron. There was no need to change into a full set, and no one else could see him while standing at the counter.

What to do next?
Rintaro stood at the counter in a daze.

The unreliable store manager was right. It was summer vacation and there weren't many customers around here. Although Rintaro didn't actively want to work, it would be too boring to be alone.

After thinking about it, I still can only play with my mobile phone, even though Rintaro has nothing to play with on his mobile phone.

The convenience store closed at ten o'clock in the evening. At six o'clock, Rintaro had a half-hour break to have dinner or something. There was no employee meal, so Rintaro took a piece of bread from the shelf and paid for it. After getting the money, he ate and played with his mobile phone in a daze.

It's so easy to make money, but I'm a little tired from standing and wish I had a chair.

Although the hourly wage is a little less, as long as you stand here you will get money, which is nothing for Rintaro.Anyway, being idle at home is nothing but idleness.

buzzing buzzing...

Rintaro's cell phone vibrated, someone called.Rintaro glanced at it...it was Katase Yorai's name.

…You’re so damn good, aren’t you?
