Is it welcoming, or is it newcomer bullying?　On the day of my first day at work, late at night the day after my interview, I got a glimpse of such a phenomenon for the first time in my life.◆◆◆"I'm 25, hey, that's annoying."　The first person I met on my first day at work was Mr. Aoyama, the most veteran of the late-night group.　I'm shy, but I'm thankful for him.　I was a newcomer, and he carefully taught me about work."If there's anything you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask me. I'm a newcomer with high expectations.""Expectations?"“No, the store manager said that this child will last a long time!”"Oh, yeah""It's not only late at night, but because this place is a place, there are times when people don't come in until morning.　Saying that, he tapped me on the shoulder.　I had a strong image of being idle rather than busy when I heard that it was late at night, so I'm quite happy to be able to buy time by talking.　I feel like I'm stealing my salary, but when I said t

　You were here a while ago, where have you been? Is it a toilet?　Even so, I don't know how to say it's careless... How can I leave the store empty even though it's late at night and there are no customers. What do you do when a guest comes suddenly? If he doesn't come, I guess he's anticipating it.　I was alone in the empty store. Even so, I have free time. The hands of the clock had already passed 2:30 midnight, and while I was being told about miscellaneous tasks, most of the work was done.　Will it stay like this until morning? How many more guests will come before the sun rises? At this rate, I can probably remember the number of customers, their faces, and the things I bought.　....... Aoyama-san won't come back...　suddenly. Feeling her gaze, I raise my head. The glass area of ​​the magazine corner."Aoyama-san?"　I thought. The other side of the glass is pitch black, and Aoyama-san is not a single fool. What is it?　That happens often. I didn't pay much attention to it and ret

"Hey, Onii-chan, how long have you been sleeping? It's already noon.""Uruse"　While groaning, I covered myself with a futon and turned over."Onii-chan"　Don't be noisy, don't shake.　Even though I had slept comfortably until just a little while ago, I was completely awakened by my sister's vulgar laughter, persistent clicks, and the roar of cicadas on the veranda.　Even if I wake up once, I decided to sleep until 14:00 today. I won't give up on something like this, let's sleep again."Older brother""If you're hungry, boil somen and eat it yourself.""Eh""Eh, no. I'm tired.""You're a total waste of society for being lazy for this long because of your NEET habits.""... oh oh oh what is it now?!"　Hearing the words that I couldn't ignore, I pushed the futon and got up. My drowsiness is gone now.“What are you doing towards your brother!"I don't care about freeters and NEETs."　Let's fool! It's a line that would make freeters all over the country go crazy, that's...!"It's changed!

　Again.... It was the same before.　Unconsciously, I look at the glass-enclosed side. It's pitch black and empty, there's no one there. Be attracted. I feel it somehow. It's like someone is watching you...　Or rather, it would be more expressive to say that I was being glared at. For some reason, I feel a strong gaze. feel like.　Every time I feel it, the corner of my head hurts. No, what is this? It wasn't long after the day and night were reversed, and before I knew it, my body was raising its roots. When I was thinking about such a thing, the automatic door opened.　Ah... someone came. Instinctively, she felt it.　The door opened on its own like that time, and there was nothing that looked like a human being there."Welcome--"　This is Pavlov's dog. I was astonished at myself when I spilled out of my mouth the routine lines that had become firmly ingrained in my habit.　But--.　Strangely, even though no one should have entered, I felt a faint presence at that time.　Something other

Mr. Hirai looks really happy.　No, I'm completely left out.　I could only smile wryly at Mr. Hirai, who had a relaxed tone, but apparently something had switched on.　After a while, Mr. Hirai suddenly came to his senses and shyly placed his hands behind his head."I'm sorry, I'm so hot, I don't want to be friends with you today."　After apologizing to me, she calmed down.　surprised.　It was exactly as Aoyama-san said.　But recently my little sister uses nothing but incomprehensible words, is this unexpectedly normal for children these days?　Customers still don't come.　It's boring to have nothing to do but have a proper conversation.　It's not easy to get paid just for casual conversations.“Does Hakamada-kun have a part-time job outside of this place?”　This time Mr. Hirai brought up the topic.“Before, I used to work three jobs, including dispatch, but now it’s just this. Late nights are tough if you don’t get used to them, so I’m thinking about looking for a daytime part-time job
