The youth story of Nohara Shinnosuke is too problematic, right?

As for Hayasaka Ai, after a while of thinking, she decided to wait outside for a few minutes before going in...

Today's Kasukabe Bookstore welcomed a few customers who are not easy to mess with...

At this time, in the bookstore, Ms. Nakamura, who was already in her 30s, was using a computer in front of the counter to check the status of the books in the bookstore and calculate the revenue for this month.

Back then, Xiaoxin often came to the bookstore to read books for nothing. As a clerk, Ms. Nakamura would try every means to drive Xiaoxin away, but in the end, Xiaoxin would often be punished.

Sometimes, she even forgets the purpose of driving Xiaoxin away, and instead plays with him carelessly. She is a bit of a reckless young lady.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and now, she is the new store manager of this bookstore.

The former store manager was a middle-aged woman who looked like a mantis. She opened this bookstore. She hated people who read for free. Now, she has retired and handed over the bookstore to Miss Nakamura. business.

"Well... although the revenue this month is still profitable, but...compared to last month, it has dropped a bit..."

"The proportion of customers who read books in vain has increased... This is also one of the main reasons for the decline in revenue... Well, after the store manager left, I was the only one left, and I couldn't care less about sitting at the counter and chasing away customers who read in vain at the same time. Work…"

Miss Nakamura muttered softly.

"However... I hired one more person to help today, and it should start to get better, right? Although there are more wages, if it can greatly reduce the proportion of reading books for nothing and increase the proportion of buying books, it will still make money..."

At this moment, a girl with long silver-gray hair and a high ponytail walked over to a girl who looked a bit like a bad girl.

"Boss, here I come."

"Oh~ Kawasaki, you're here~ That's great."

Kawasaki Saki, a student of Shuzhiin College, is the same as Xiaoxin, and the two are even classmates in the same class.

It's just because she works a lot of part-time jobs, and often skips classes and doesn't come to school, so the classmates don't have much impression of her, and they don't see her often.

She is the helper that Miss Nakamura hired today to help her with part-time work, and she is also Jinghua's sister.

"Come, come, Kawasaki, first day of work, let me tell you what to do."

Ms. Nakamura took Kawasaki Saki to the staff studio and began to explain her work in a low voice.

"Your job is very simple. It is to patrol the bookstore at any time to see if there are any customers who have been reading books for nothing and are not willing to buy books. If they are not willing to buy books for more than 3 minutes, go over and remind them, or pretend to be cleaning the dust. The method hints and interferes with their continuing to watch in vain."

Kawasaki Saki nodded: "I see, it's not too difficult a job."

"As for me, I will sit at the counter most of the time. If there is any emergency and you need to call me, and the distance between us is too far, you can communicate with me using gestures. I have sent you the handbook of employee gestures before, right? Bar?"

Kawasaki Saki nodded: "Yes, although... I don't necessarily know how to use it."

"Use it if necessary. Keep quiet in the bookstore and use hand gestures instead of talking. This is a rule passed down by the former store manager~" Nakamura said in the tone of a senior, and then vomited She clicked her tongue: "Of course, this is just a traditional show~ Don't use it if you don't want to use it~ Actually, when the former store manager was here, I wanted to complain about her troublesome and weird hand gesture for a long time~ Hee hee~ "

"It's really a bit troublesome and weird... In the bookstore, seeing the clerk and the store manager communicate with such strange gestures, the customers should just be driven away?" Shahi frowned.

"Indeed...hehehe..." Ms. Nakamura smiled awkwardly.

Chapter 133: The Naturally Stupid Ms. Nakamura

Kawasaki Saki's family is not very good. She has two younger brothers and a younger sister, and that younger sister is Kawasaki Jinghua.

Shaxi is a very hard-working girl. She stayed up late to study during the high school entrance examination.

At first, due to the high tuition fees of Xiuzhiyuan, she planned to give up and go to a lower-ranked public school with lower tuition fees, but when her parents heard about it, they said, why not go if there is this opportunity?

I hope my daughter can expand her contacts, get in touch with higher-class circles, and accept better teachers, so her parents gritted their teeth and still scraped together the tuition fees for her to study at Xiuzhiyuan.

Kawasaki Saki is a sensible person, and she is very grateful to her parents. However, the schoolwork at Xiuzhiyuan is very stressful and competitive. She thinks she is not a talented person, so she has to take tutoring. She is not willing to give up the tutoring money After the parents left, they secretly hid it from their family members and worked part-time jobs everywhere to make up for the tutoring fees for the second year of high school.

"So, the above is the work content of the bookstore here, is it okay, Kawasaki?" Miss Nakamura asked.

Kawasaki Saki nodded, and said lightly: "No problem, it's not difficult. In short, just keep an eye out for people who are reading for nothing, right?"

"That's right, then, I'll leave it to you~"

Saki Kawasaki quickly got into shape, put on the overalls of a bookstore clerk, and started working part-time today.

Ms. Nakamura returned to the counter with a smile. It was not without reason that she would choose Kawasaki Saki.

Kawasaki Saki's appearance is more serious and fierce, and her tone of voice is neutral and plain. She can easily be misunderstood as a bad girl. Nakamura believes that if it is Saki, she will be able to successfully drive away most of the customers who are just reading.

In addition to this, Shahi looked quite stable, and he didn't seem to be causing trouble, so he could stay at the counter with confidence.

She clenched her fists, looked at the sky outside the window, thought of the mantis-like face of the former store manager, and encouraged herself in a low voice: "The store manager~! I will definitely revive the glory of this bookstore~ starting from today !! Manager, I will definitely not disappoint your entrustment~ You can rest in peace~ (The former manager said that I just retired!! I am still alive and well!!)”

"Okay~ I'll continue to calculate this month's expenses..."

Ms. Nakamura lowered her head and continued with her work.

And just at this moment, the automatic door at the door opened and a guest walked in.

That's right, the ones coming are none other than Nohara Shinnosuke!! and Kawasaki Kyouka in disguise.

Finally, after ten years of absence, the great New God returned to his loyal Kasukabe Bookstore.

"Xiao Jing, tell me, which one is your sister?"

Kawasaki Jinghua looked around and pointed to Kawasaki Saki who was pushing a cart, putting books, and patrolling.

"She is my sister~"

"Let me take a look... oh~ Is that Opie big? It's really good. If it's a little older, maybe it's the type I like... emm, it looks familiar."

He had a vague impression, he seemed to have seen this face in class...

"Brother Xiaoxin, sister... what are you doing?"

Xiaoxin touched his chin: "Your sister seems to be working~"

"Part-time job? What is part-time job?"

"That is to say, your sister works in this bookstore for a short time to make money... As for why, emm..."

"I see! Your sister... must be owed money!!"

"Huh?!!" Kawasaki Jinghua's small and cute eyes blinked: "I owe money..."

"That's right, I owed huge debts outside, so I had to work part-time to pay back the money, otherwise... I would have to redeem myself. This is the case in many cases!"

"Hey!! That is to say, sister, she is very likely to gamble with someone outside, and now she can only work part-time to pay off her debts? How could it be... sister..."

"Of course, everything is just speculation. Maybe there are other reasons~ Maybe, just because there is something I want to buy, so I work part-time to earn some pocket money?"

"I hope it's just like this..." Kawasaki Kyouka had a look of worry on his face.

At this time, Miss Nakamura, who was settling accounts in front of the counter, heard the two of them whispering and reminded her directly: "You two, this is a bookstore. If you want to talk, please go outside~"

Her temper is much better than that of the previous store manager. If it was the previous store manager, she would probably be a hit.

Xiaoxin waved to Nakamura, and greeted Nakamura in a low voice: "Hey, Ms. Nakamura~ Long time no see~ Ah, why is that mantis-like store manager missing?"

Miss Nakamura tilted her head and said: "You are talking about the previous store manager, right? She has retired, and now I am the store manager here... Speaking of which, you feel a bit familiar..."

"Young man, how could you forget me? Miss Nakamura, I will be sad if you do this..." Xiaoxin pretended to wipe his eyes: "It's me, Nohara Shinnosuke. Even back then, I planned to publish the comics I drew here. Come on, we even had fun..."

"Nohara... Shinnosuke..." Ms. Nakamura muttered, her eyes widened. At this moment, Miss Nakamura remembered the horror of being dominated by Nohara Shinnosuke.

"You...you you you..." Nakamura stuttered. She remembered those nights when she worked overtime. Every time Xiaoxin came to the bookstore, she would almost make the whole bookstore go crazy and rummage through the cabinets. She had to Overtime left to rearrange.

Thinking of this, she quickly turned around, facing the wall behind her, and gestured: Manager! That kid who messed up our store is here again...

After the competition, she realized that the store manager had retired a long time ago, and now she is the store manager.

Moreover, Xiaoxin... is no longer a child. Before I know it, it has been ten years...

"Oh~!!" Xiaoxin clapped his hands: "Miss Nakamura, gesture to the wall, is this the latest practice method? Xiaojing, if you learn this carefully, it must be some powerful secret skill."

"En~!! It's amazing, it's amazing!!" Kawasaki Jinghua also clapped his hands.

"...I just got used to it subconsciously..." Ms. Nakamura blushed and coughed lightly.

Xiaoxin touched Kawasaki Jinghua's head, and said in a low voice: "Xiaojing, go to the children's picture book area first, pretend to read a book, and be careful not to let your sister find out."

"En~"

After Kawasaki Jinghua ran away, Xiaoxin looked at Nakamura again and asked, "Miss Nakamura, where is your store manager?"

"The store manager, she has..."

Xiaoxin's eyes widened, and she took a deep breath: "My God... no... how could... I didn't expect that after only a few years of hard work, she has already... oh~ I can only say that the world is unpredictable, life and death are destiny..."

"She just retired~ Now I'm the store manager!!" Ms. Nakamura laughed angrily.

"Oh...so that's how it is..." Xiaoxin looked at it carefully: "It turns out that Miss Nakamura is the manager of the store now? It's a miracle that the store hasn't yet..."

Nakamura stuck out his tongue, scratched his head and said, "Hee hee...Although it's really a bit of a bad management during this time... Wait a minute, are you complaining about me?"

Ms. Nakamura, who was belatedly aware of it, is naturally cute even if she becomes the store manager.

Chapter 134: Contacting (molesting) Kawasaki Saki

"Cough~" Ms. Nakamura coughed lightly: "Then, Shinnosuke Nohara, you came here today because your mother went to perm her hair again, so did you leave you here first?"

"Miss Nakamura? I'm already a high school student~ I'm no longer a child who needs my mother to take care of me."

"Hey, hehe~ That's right..." She stuck out her tongue and asked quickly: "Then...are you because you want to publish a new comic? Or are you playing hide and seek?"

It can be seen that the shadow area in Miss Nakamura's heart is quite large.

"I'm just here to buy reference books~"

"En~? Really?" Nakamura confirmed again and again: "Are you sure you didn't come here to read for nothing, or to eat ice cream while reading, or to put your new book on the shelf at will?"

"Recently, I have no inspiration, and I haven't written any new works. Alas~ good works need to be carefully crafted~" Xiaoxin sighed with emotion, like a retired literary master.

Then, he took another step closer, and tentatively said in a low voice: "By the way, Ms. Nakamura, since you are the store manager now, who will be in charge of arranging and arranging books and driving away customers who are not reading books?"

"Originally, I was doing it alone...but today is different, I hired a new person, you see, that's him." She pointed to Kawasaki Saki in the distance.

"Hmph ~ So, listen carefully, if you keep reading for nothing like when you were a child, it won't be so good..."

"Shh~" Xiaoxin interrupted her, stretching out his finger to his mouth: "Miss Nakamura, the bookstore is not allowed to talk, please be quiet."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Nakamura immediately shut up, and felt that something was weird.

Xiaoxin stopped greeting Nakamura, turned around, and walked straight towards Kawasaki Saki.

"...Obviously I am the owner of the shop..."

Nakamura bowed his head and continued his work. When she thought about it, Kawasaki Saki looked quite cold, even Shinnosuke Nohara, who was naughty when he was a child, shouldn't dare to do anything, right?

At this time, Ai Hayasaka, who had been eavesdropping outside, quietly walked in.

She pretended to be nonchalant, walked to the women's magazine section, pretended to open a book, kept watching Xiaoxin's movements with her eyes, and continued to eavesdrop on the radio in her ears.

[Looking at it like this... Nohara Shinnosuke seems to be trying to help that little girl... to find out why her sister skipped school to work...]

【Missy asked me to investigate the character of Nohara Shinnosuke before. Is it true that he is a selfless and helpful person as he said? I can take this opportunity to observe...】

【If he is really a person who has a way to let the young lady get out of her current personality...】

Hayasaka Ai had some vague expectations for Xiaoxin.

Here, Xiaoxin walked to the side of Kawasaki Saki.

"Hi~"

"kindness?"

Kawasaki Saki is pushing a cart full of books, and she is putting some new books that have just arrived on the bookshelf.

The first moment she saw Xiaoxin, she immediately noticed that the uniform he was wearing also belonged to Shujiin.

I thought it was a classmate in the class, but was recognized.

"Hi~ Hello, I want to find a reference book for the midterm exam, or a question booklet~ Where is it?" Xiaoxin asked.

[So you just came here to buy reference books... Phew~ I thought he was recognized by someone from the same class, but luckily he wasn't. If he was really discovered... Tsk, trouble. 】(Actually they are in the same class)

She nodded and said flatly: "Is it a reference book? I see, please follow me."

She took Xiaoxin to the place where the reference books were placed. This area was just in front of the children's reading area. Kawasaki Jinghua hid there, pretending to be reading picture books, and using the bookcase to hide her body.

【It's my sister...】

"Okay, the reference books are here." Kawasaki Shaki pointed to the various reference books and exercises in the book, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute~ There are too many reference books. I just want to find a few specific ones. Please help me find them~"
