A world only known by the God of Lost Love

She has a dark appearance, is not good at speaking, has a bad mind, and has a lifestyle comparable to that of a wild snake. Not to mention her attractiveness, it is a blessing that she is not disliked by others.Not to mention that the object of this delusion is the almost flawless handsome guy Suzuki Ren...

……

So why would this popular person in the class come here specifically to eat during the lunch break?It was obvious that he had been going to the cafeteria with other cashiers last week.

Could it be that he is actually the kind of person who prefers a quiet atmosphere?

Hmm... Although I'm used to seeing Suzuki-san surrounded by crowds, the quiet and elegant atmosphere actually suits him very well.

However, I always feel that the reason is not that simple...

Speaking of which, he seemed to have just told the cashiers that he would contact his family at noon. Could it be because of this?

……

I always feel that I am getting more and more confused...

Gotou hugged his knees, his blue eyes under his bangs full of confusion.

But no matter what, as long as I stay here during lunch breaks from now on, I should be able to see him again, right?

Next time...can you talk to him a little more?

I'm definitely not qualified to be friends...but at least next time...I hope I can take the initiative to say hello to him.

Then, as he said...tell him the self-introduction that I failed to complete.

But will he really believe it?

A social horror who couldn't even understand his words turned out to be a guitarist with 3 fans on YouTube...

Will Suzuki-san think of him as the kind of guy who likes to brag?

Woohoo... Even if I'm not liked, at least I don't want to be hated by Suzuki-san...

What should I do?

Goto Kazuri, who had never talked to a boy before, fell into the biggest tangle ever.

Chapter 5: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first"

The reason why Ren Suzuki chose to leave 5 minutes after Ichiri Goto left was to create this "dilemma" from which he could not easily get out of the lunch box when he was half-eaten.

To apply for companionship to her as a "guest" is to take advantage of the other party's "weakness" in refusing her.

In order to create opportunities to be alone together, Ren Suzuki cunningly blocked all escape routes for Ichiri Goto.

The result was just as he expected, Goto Ichiri had no choice but to accept his existence and continued to observe him after that.

And at the final moment of separation, his seemingly careless words officially made Goto Kazuri realize that he cared about her.

As for the result——

[The progress of the strategy has been changed, the current progress of the strategy is: 50%]

【Please keep up the good work. 】

"...Well, that's true."

Children who are not good at talking tend to have more complex ways of thinking.

An overly aggressive direct-ball attack will make the opponent flinch, and showing consideration without understanding can easily be self-defeating.

Approach appropriately, show care appropriately, and leave enough comfortable space for the other person, so that the other person can accept your existence more safely.

This is also the experience he gained at the expense of falling in love.

"But... we can't be happy too early."

This lunch break test can only be regarded as a strategy preview at best.

Let Goto Kazuri take the initiative to tell the unfinished self-introduction content, which is the official start of the strategy.

He will appear here from time to time in the future, using the excuse of "avoidance" to continue to shorten the distance with her.

He would never take any action until she completely let down her guard.

So before that, is there anything else he can do——

"Let's find a job first."

Falling in love is an extremely expensive activity, even if it is just a high school-level love affair!

This is not an empirical statement, but a well-known common sense.

Dating, shopping, giving gifts... In order to ensure that the next strategy can proceed smoothly, sufficient activity funds are very necessary.

Although Ren Suzuki was not too poor in high school, she still was unable to freely handle pocket money.

And even if the financial issue is put aside, after all, he can't rely on just one excuse to deal with the students who are trying to invite him. If he can successfully find a job, "I have a part-time job scheduled next" is also an excellent reason that will not offend the other party. .

To sum up, Suzuki Ren decided to find a suitable job for herself first.

"So, where to start..."

........................

"Well, it's nice here."

As a well-known "subculture mecca" and established business district in Tokyo, Shimokitazawa is definitely a good place to find a place to work.

Moreover, it is not too far from his school and address, and there is no problem in commuting time.

So, the next thing to consider is what kind of store you want to work in.

As a high school student... the only jobs he can do are manual jobs like waiters or cashiers.

As for the kind of work that requires certain professional knowledge, he naturally does not need to consider it at all.

In other words...should we start with restaurants or convenience stores?

In that case, let’s pay a little attention to these two types of stores next.

Ren Suzuki walked out of Shimokitazawa Station and thus began his "job hunting journey."

........................

"……kindness?"

Not long after, while shopping for job openings, he suddenly saw a notice board placed next to the descending stairs.

Looking down the stairs, a neon sign with [STARRY] written on it was placed discreetly on the wall at the end of the stairs.

"The signboard is all about drinks...is it a restaurant? Today's guest band? Ah, it turns out to be a Livehouse in the form of a restaurant."

Ren Suzuki has seen many shops like this near the university, so he didn't find it strange.

And just when he retracted his gaze and was about to leave, an adult woman with long blond hair slowly walked up from the bottom of the stairs——

"...?"

After seeing Ren Suzuki, the woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then asked:

"A guest?"

"Ah, no."

Suzuki Ren immediately smiled and shook his head.

"Just passing by for a while, please don't pay attention."

"Oh...what a standard business smile."

Seeing the sunny smile on Suzuki Ren's face that quickly changed to one second, the blond woman suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.

"And her appearance is quite outstanding... Could it be that she is a little model from somewhere?"

"No, no, he's just an ordinary high school boy."

Ren Suzuki is still smiling:

"If nothing happens, please allow me to tell you--"

"...I asked, are you interested in working in our store?"

"………………Eh?"

The blonde woman's words made Suzuki Ren's refusal stuck in her throat.

It's better to come early than to come early.

Anyway, he is looking for a place to work now, so he might as well ask about the treatment here first.

"I didn't refuse immediately. It seems that I have the intention."

Seeing Suzuki Ren suddenly fell into silence, the blond woman spoke again:

"If this is the case, you might as well come to our store and have a look. After all, the working environment is also a very important consideration."

"Yeah...that's right."

Ren Suzuki nodded upon hearing this, and then followed her to the door under the stairs...

........................

After seeing the scene inside the door, Renya Suzuki immediately confirmed the nature of this store again.

"It is indeed Livehouse."

Except for a drink counter at the door and a few empty tables, there is nothing related to a restaurant in this store.

Dark-colored walls made of soundproof material, an open space that can accommodate about 30 to [-] people, a simple stage, and a lot of audio equipment that he can't name.

It is simply an extremely standard Livehouse configuration.

"So, are there any jobs in Livehouse that high school students are qualified for?"

"Of course there is."

The blond woman pointed at the drink counter.

"That's it, waiter and cashier. Although there are other employees besides you, it's been a little busy lately, and there are more and more female customers, so I really need a handsome waiter. "

"Although the statement is a bit suspicious, the reason is indeed quite easy to understand."

Ren Suzuki pinched her chin and said:

“What’s the daily footfall here?”

"That depends on the size of the guests that night, and whether it's a day off or a working day."

"The busiest time?"

"It will be difficult to even find a place to stand."

"Unexpectedly, business is booming."

Suzuki Ren raised an eyebrow.

This Livehouse is undoubtedly a small store, but even so, if it can be packed, it can still bring in considerable income.

"What are my working hours?"

"On days off, the hours are from [-]pm to [-]pm, and on weekdays it's shortened by one hour."

"What is the salary and settlement method?"

"[-] yen on rest days and [-] yen on working days. If you are very busy that night, you will be given an extra bonus, and your salary will be paid daily."

The blond woman first answered Suzuki Ren's question, and then showed an interested expression.

"You look very familiar with the road. Could it be that you have worked part-time before?"

"Well... you can say that."

Even though it’s in my own original world.

"How is the security around here?"

"Not bad. As long as you avoid those bars, you shouldn't get in trouble."

"...That's it."

Suzuki Ren nodded, and then asked:

"So, can you let me have a little experience here as a guest tonight? I will pay for the tickets and drinks as usual."
