"Hey, Hakamada-kun.""Good work""It's almost time to change. Come to think of it, Mr. Hakamada, you arrived early today.""Oh yes, wait a minute" When I entered the store and exchanged familiar greetings and bows, I entered the back room, and Mr. Nagase rushed in with a keen eye while looking at his watch."It's been a long time since we got together among friends, but if I stay too long, I feel like I'll really get drunk.""Haha, you left early.""That's how it feels." I don't want to be the only victim of that damn curve."That's right, if Hakamada-kun is gone, the number of night shift workers will decrease, so it's a problem, hahaha." It's not even a bar code omen. Nagase-san burst out laughing as if he was sure. Ku... even Mr. Nagase. With the laughter of the two behind me, I changed into a uniform in the back room. Come to think of it, Mr. Takenaka should be here, but I haven't seen him yet. Also, I looked into the store from the back room, wondering if he was trying to
Mr. Takenaka overreacted just by mentioning the word "cat", so I decided to leave him alone without asking any further questions. Even so, the corpse of that cat will still be there by the time I get home. The store manager said something had to be done, but I wonder why I should do that normally. Even so, I feel sorry for Mr. Takenaka. I have to see that on my way home. I don't want to see it too much if possible. It's midsummer, so that thing will rot at once... When I was thinking about such a thing, Mr. Takenaka spoke to me, which was rare."As for Hakamada-san...""yes?""Are you okay, uh...""Oh" Don't worry about it, I smile a little.“Since it was my decision, I will do my best not to cause trouble for Mr. Takenaka.” Before, I couldn't see the guardian spirit "Yagura" standing behind Mr. Takenaka, the woman clinging to the window, and the child with only the upper body and arms wandering around the doorway, but now I can see them normally. . I have no intention of qui
For the next day's part-time job, I left home at my usual time and headed to the convenience store late at night. After going through the tunnel on the way, I was mentally prepared, but in the same place as yesterday, there was the dead cat, its intestines and organs dried up, and countless flies.collectionfalconwas I looked directly at it and only had a few seconds to pass by, but the terrible stench of putrefaction mercilessly pricked my nostrils. Just as I thought, if it was left in a place like this under the scorching heat of the summer sun, it would rot in no time. That being said, there's no way someone would bury it in the ground in a place like this, and who would deal with such a messy, dried-out, tragic corpse? I wonder if I should contact an animal welfare organization and ask them to do something about this... Abandoned cats are pathetic, but see
“Hakamada-kun is not good at people like that.”"Well, I don't want to get involved with it as much as possible... it's troublesome..."“But to me, Hakamada-kun also looks like a bad yankee."No no no no no!!" I do bleach and have ear piercings though!"It's just the way it looks! Even if I say so myself, I'm still quite the chicken!" I don't even have the guts to get my nose pierced!"Yeah, I felt like I was going to yancha when I was in high school."“He was a pretty healthy high school baseball player, he had black hair and glasses…..but when he retired, he changed to contacts and dyed his hair.”"Oh, what a great makeover" By the way, the reason for the makeover was because I didn't like the black hair and glasses because people around me would give me nicknames such as "Serious-kun" or "Garden-kun" that I don't remember. Even if I changed my appearance, my inside didn't change at all. I can't help but like those guys who
"Nao" There was that spotted cat. Everything flew away in an instant. Why is that cat here? Sitting in front of the garbage dump, keeping an eye on the darkness, the cat slowly wagging its tail in a steady rhythm is definitely the cat that stood in front of the white cat's corpse last night and stared at me with resentment. rice field."Naao" An eerie voice that gave me goosebumps. Meow is far from a normal cry. Cats meow like this."Naaaaaa" With its mouth wide open like yesterday, its alarming cry is clearly strange. What is this cat telling me? However, I can't understand what the cat is trying to say, and it's strange how this cat appeared in front of me yesterday and today. When I thought that something bad was about to happen again, my bo
"You guys aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" An unfamiliar thick voice rushed in from the side. It wasn't just me, maybe the man who was holding the chest was surprised by that, he got startled for a moment and stopped moving. what……. I stretched out my neck from the man's shadow and looked.“If you don’t let go of your hand, you know what will happen, huh?!?” At the entrance of the store, Mr. Aoyama was yelling with a terrible sword. I mean, Aoyama-san…. The tone, no, the quality of the voice, but it's very manly, or rather, it's powerful, it's full of spirit, and it's like a beast, and it glares up at the motorcycle gangs and threatens them. To be honest, even I get goosebumps when Aoyama-san does that. Who is this person? Aoyama-san's tra
Stand users, onee-types, rotten girls... How thick is the night shift group? My existence is disappearing, isn't it?"I don't think I'm that dark.""No, Mr. Hirai's depth is already competing for twelve..." Mr. Hirai, who has an innocent face and a smile, is usually cute when he does that. However, with such a pretty appearance, the inside is a beast hungry for delusions... it's all about the gap."It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, the late-night group will naturally have unique personalities, so Hakamada-kun is already a member of the late-night 'unique four heavenly kings'.""S-Four Heavenly Kings!?"Well, now that Hakamada-kun has joined, I, Aoyama-san, and Takenaka-kun are finally four people. The Four Heavenly Kings who protect this convenience store with their individuality!""No... even if the three of us were individualists, I'm just an ordinary person... or maybe I'm fl
I wondered if it was time to throw away the trash, but I glanced at the clock and thought, but they were still sitting outside and there was no sign of leaving. I don't want to be the second dance two days ago, but... it can't be helped. I have nothing else to do.... When I made a big decision and tried to leave the counter, Mr. Hirai left first.“Hey, Mr. Hirai!”"I'll be there today, Hakamada-kun, wait for me.""No, no, no, I usually go here! Mr. Hirai.""Okay, it's fine."“Those guys are drunk and will definitely get involved. If something happens when I turn around..."What?""No... see." If they gather together, Hirai-san's slender arms are likely to break. As a man here...“Then Hakamada-kun will help you in style then.”"No...!" Mr. Hirai! Please understand!
