Ch.11 My Usual Part-Time Job and Mitsumiya-san

"Ah! Yuzuki-sen... senpai?"

One of my part-time jobs.

After more or less 10 hours, I returned to the store where I had worked for more than 10 hours... but then I arrived at a different store, and the part-time workers there... jostled me around, along with Omanju.

Just when I was feeling tired, Mitsumiya-san appeared in her school uniform.

Apparently, she went straight here from school both yesterday and today.

Then, in a moment of déjà vu, just like about 10 hours ago, the girl who had taken over from her shift came back in through the entrance, looking exactly the same as she had been 10 hours ago.

Mitsumiya-san, who is usually energetic and can't stop talking once she starts, froze the moment she saw me.

I wonder what happened.

"Senpai."

"What's wrong, Mitsumiya-san?"

"...So, are you going to "circle crash" our workplace too with your cuteness? Or are you here to seduce me?"

"I don't really know what you mean, but I think you're wrong."

Mitsumiya-san is intelligent, has a great personality, gets along with everyone, and is so cute that every time you meet she'll tell you, "So-and-so confessed their feelings to me!" Yet, there's no rumor that she has a boyfriend at this rural public school.

This girl is a really nice girl, and I don't understand why someone so talkative and fashionable would be in the literature club... but it seems she has a unique sensibility and way of thinking that no one can keep up with.

She often talks about things I don't know about... like what she just said.

Also, what's a "circle crash"?... Oh well. (TL: basically destroying a group's relationship)

"Oh, I see... I thought Yuzuki-senpai's patience had finally run out and she'd come to deliver divine retribution to Tanaka-senpai..."

"...I don't really understand, but I'm sorry if I got your hopes up."

Also, I still don't quite understand this kid's vibe.

That's probably what makes her such a cool girl.

"Hmm...it's fine...but I think you'll probably end up circle crashing without even realizing it...well, even for me, I'd had enough if I keep being treated like that..."

"?"

It looks like Mitsumiya-san is crouching down and feeling down.

...For now, you should probably stop squatting in a skirt, you know?

"……So!"

"?"

She suddenly jumped up and ran towards me, squeezing my cheeks tightly with both hands, and blowing the pleasant scent of candy or something she always eats onto me.

"Senpai, what kind of salon do you go to to make your face and hair look so beautiful?"

"Huh? I didn't go to any?"

"Come on, stop joking around. When I saw you yesterday you had dark circles under your eyes, but even so, it was kind of exciting—you were beautiful!"

"Haha, thank you. You're also always so beautiful and stylish, Mitsumiya-san."

"!!!"

This girl really takes care of her hair like the kind of person you'd see in a fashion magazine that you read and leave at the literature club.

Her hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, skin, and nails are all pretty enough that she doesn't get in trouble with the teacher.

"—I won't lose today! Forget about such trivial matters."

"I don't think it's trivial."

"Senpai... Huh?! C-could it be..."

When she got so close that I could barely see anything but her eyelashes and eyes, she seemed shocked by something... and stumbled backward from me.

"...Senpai... is a bit of an airhead, so I need to be specific..."

"?"

Oh, she's trying to do something weird again with that weird vibe.

It's the usual stuff, so I'll just go along with it.

"...Senpai. When you were alone with Tanaka-senpai...um...didn't you suddenly feel sleepy, or did you feel sleepy after he treated you to some juice or something, or something weird like that?"

"Tanaka-kun? No, I went straight home after that yesterday, and today I came straight from where I was..."

"For example, he came all the way to your house, and when you looked away for just a moment, you fell asleep..."

"Huh? He didn't come, though...?"

"...Isn't the reason you suddenly became so cute because you were attacked and awoken...? But to think that you could have changed this much in just one night..." Mitsumiya began muttering to herself.

"Oh, I'm sorry. This girl works here, so... sorry to have kept you waiting."

She stumbled towards the wall and seemed to be troubled about her future in the corner. Near her, there was a customer who looked like he was in a real predicament, so I quickly went to help him.

...Why is this person's face bright red too?

Hay Fever?

◇◆◇

That girl, is now standing next to me acting weirdly as I'm changing into my uniform.

"Senpai, did your bottom... or stomach hurt at all?"

"Not really?"

"...Drugs...I didn't think he was the kind of person to go that far, but Tanaka-senpai, he finally got involved with illegal drugs and took advantage of her...But he didn't cross the line...?"

"Ah, next person please."

Something's off about Mitsumiya-san today.

No, just the usual, huh?

Well, since she's part of the literature club, I suppose being able to immerse herself in her own world is actually a talent in itself.

Now that I think about it, the members of the literature club were all incredibly unique.

That's just how it is, I guess.

"Thank you very much!"

"Kyui."

"...Wait, the stuffed animal is making noise?!"

"Oh, you're back."

Before noon.

When I arrived at this part-time job, I forgot I've been carrying Omanju and went into the back room... where I then got bombarded with questions from the part-time staff.

I don't know if it's a cat or a dog, but baby animals are cute anyway... It seems like they don't really understand what a tamer is, but everyone has been taking turns to hug Omanju for a while now.

...Omanju itself has a really strange look on its face while being held by everyone...I wonder what that's all about...

Even though those Obaa-sans are all such nice people.

Ah, but they're all plump because they've raised children themselves, and maybe it was surprised because it had only ever been hugged by people like me and Okaa-san.

Those Obaa-sans should be more comfortable to hug though... I wonder why.
