I Refuse To Become Scumbag In Tokyo-Novel

Chapter 165 - Part-Time Job?

After school, Usa would usually go back to his school dorm as usual. Still, now, he had joined the literature club, so he would go to the club if there was a club activity, but he didn't expect that there would be a club activity on Monday since it would be held on Tuesday and Thursday. In truth, if possible, he wanted to have a club activity every day since that way he could see Ritsu, but he knew that he couldn't be greedy. However, still, he wanted to meet Ritsu every day, and it seemed that God seemed to be on his side, especially when he heard that there was a club activity from Shishio.

Everyone from the literature club walked together while talking to each other, especially the girls, since they seemed to be very spirited.??

Not only the girls, but Usa was also very spirited. He was very happy. After all, he had nothing to do at the dorm, and doing a club activity was a good thing, especially when there were many beautiful girls in this club activity. Still, suddenly he was in doubt when they didn't walk toward the clubroom.

His relationship with the girls wasn't that good, and somehow, Usa was quite nervous to talk with a group of beautiful girls, so he walked beside Shishio, though, he had to admit that he was a bit jealous of Nana and Shishio's communication ability since both of them could talk with anyone freely.

"Oga, why don't we go to the clubroom?" Usa asked in doubt.

"We're doing that activity on the outside," Shishio said simply.

"Eh?" Usa was surprised and asked, "Where? Library?"

"No, it's at the arcade," Shishio said.

"Huh? Arcade? Why?" Usa was surprised.

"You don't want to?" Shishio asked curiously.

"I don't mind, but..." Usa thought about his small amount of pocket money and couldn't help but sigh. He was alright to play on the arcade, or rather he was very happy to play with everyone, doing a lot of things with Ritsu such as playing various games, touching each other's hands, and taking a picture together!

'But...'

Usa looked at the money in his wallet and felt that it was empty.

"You don't have that much money?" Shishio asked in a whisper.

Usa looked at Shishio in surprise, but he nodded bitterly. He could play around, but he wasn't sure whether he could eat the next day.

"If you don't have money, then why don't you do a part-time job?" Shishio suddenly said.

"Part-time job?" Usa looked at Shishio in surprise since he had never thought about this possibility.

"Un." Shishio nodded and said, "It isn't something uncommon, right?" If a high school student wanted to get more money, they needed to work, and it wasn't that uncommon to see a high school student work a part-time job, though, sometimes, that part-time job wasn't quite ethical.

Shishio had watched Initial D in the past, and he had seen one of the heroines working as a prostitute for the "Benz Guy." He had never seen a high school prostitute in this country before, but he was quite curious, but it was likely to be done by the students around Adachi Ward, which was the most unsafe ward in Tokyo.

'Or Shibuya? Shinjuku?'

Shishio was sure that he would be able to meet such a girl around those areas, but if he asked whether he wanted to do that kind of thing with such a girl, then without a doubt, he would refuse without hesitation since he didn't want to get sick.

As for the students at high school affiliated with Suimei University, Shishio didn't think that anyone in his school would work as a prostitute, considering the economic condition of the students in his school was very good and the reputation of his school was very famous so no students would want to sacrifice their future to become a prostitute, even Nanami who had always been working part-time job was in truth, wasn't coming from a poor family.

Nanami only had a fight with her father, which made her need to work so she could get money for her voice acting school. If she didn't join that school, her life in Tokyo would be several times easier. After all, her father wasn't that cruel enough not to give her money for her pocket money and rent.

"Part-time job, huh?" Usa was in deep thought, thinking about what kind of part-time job he should take.

"If you don't mind, how about you work at the cafe as a waiter?" Shishio asked.

"Waiter?" Usa looked at Shishio curiously.

"Well, I know this good cafe, and it is pretty close to the school. My acquaintance owns it. You can work there if you want," Shishio said. The cafe that he mentioned was the cafe on his "Acanthus Site Bookstore," and he knew why this cafe was a bit familiar since one of the cafes in his bookstore was the cafe where Usa was working in the original story.

In middle school, Usa was known as the "Weirdo Master," he was known as someone who could control a weirdo around him, which was why he got that nickname.

Shishio knew that there were some people with very individual personalities in his cafe and he was sure that Usa would be very suitable to work there.

"Really?" Usa was very excited when he heard Shishio's words.

"Give me your phone, let me write down the address and phone number there. You can tell them that you're my friend, so the interview will be easier, but don't slack off, alright?" Shishio said, trying to remind Usa.

"Yes!" Usa nodded without hesitation and gave his phone to Shishio. He knew that Shishio's family was quite rich, considering he had seen Shishio come out from a luxurious car before, so he didn't feel that much surprised when he heard that Shishio's acquaintance owned a cafe. In his mind, he started to imagine himself serving coffee with a very handsome appearance and smiled handsomely, causing several girls to fall in love with handsomeness instantly.

If Shishio knew what Usa was thinking, he could only laugh since this guy had a huge misunderstanding, but he wasn't cruel enough to destroy his dream, and it was more fun to see his disappointed expression when Usa knew the reality of the cafe.

"Here you go." Shishio gave back the phone.

"Thanks, Oga!" Usa was full of smiles at that moment, but then he looked at Saki. Even though Saki was quite beautiful, she was terrifying in his opinion, but he knew that this girl was related to Shishio.

Usa looked speechlessly at Shishio and wondered how many girls that this guy knew. "Oga, who is she?" Saki didn't introduce herself to him after all, so it was normal that he didn't know much about her.

"Oh, her name is Kawasaki Saki. She's a new member of the literature club, by the way, she's our senior, you should call her Senpai," Shishio said simply.

Usa nodded, but then...

"Hey, Shishio, what are you talking about?" Mea asked curiously since she could see that Shishio and Usa were talking to each other. Unlike both Maiko and Nana, she was fairly quiet, and she was also the most modest style among the trio gyaru. Still, even though she might be the quietest among the three, she might be the lewdest among the three, especially when it was related to a little boy.

"Usa wants to have a part-time job, so I introduce him to a place," Shishio said to Mea.

Usa also nodded in response.

"Hey, where are you going to work?" Maiko asked curiously since this place was being introduced by Shishio.

"It seems to be in a cafe. I'm not sure I haven't been there, but Oga's acquaintance owns it," Usa said.

"Really? What kind of cafe?" Nana also asked.

Miu, Ritsu, Shiina, and Saki also looked at Shishio curiously. Still, unlike Miu, Ritsu, and Shiina, Saki thought that Shishio might own this cafe, but he told them that his acquaintance owned it so it wouldn't cause much commotion.

Shishio saw that everyone was curious, so he didn't really hide it. "It's an apprentice cafe."

"Apprentice cafe?" Everyone looked at Shishio in interest in what kind of cafe it was.

"It's like a cosplay cafe, but the waiter needs to wear a uniform like an apprentice at the end of Meiji Restoration era," Shishio said.

"Eh? It is that kind of cafe?!" Usa was dumbfounded since he thought that he would wear a suit or white shirt with a vest, so he was dumbfounded when he heard that he would wear an apprentice uniform, but...

"Apprentice?!" Ritsu's eyes seemed to be beaming when she heard about an apprentice cafe.

"Un." Shishio nodded and said, "There should be a lot of old books there. You can come to visit if you want, Senpai."

"I'll." Ritsu nodded without hesitation when she heard that there were a lot of old books in that cafe.

Shishio looked at Usa and asked, "You have heard that, Usa. Will you still work there?"

"Of course!" Usa agreed without hesitation when he saw Ristu's reaction about the apprentice and book. He didn't know what kind of cafe apprentice cafe was, but one thing for sure, he knew that Ritsu loved it, and he also knew that Shishio wouldn't do something bad to him, so he decided to accept this job!

Though, if Usa knew what kind of people were working in that cafe was, he could only cry without tears.

Everyone except Ritsu looked at Usa's expression at this moment and couldn't help but think that this guy was too simple, right? They weren't blind, and they could see that Usa had a feeling toward Ritsu, but as for Ritsu? They weren't sure about her feelings, or rather they might have a feeling that Ritsu might have a feeling toward...

"Say, can I try to wear this apprentice uniform?" Nana asked.

"It should be possible, if you want, we can visit it someday," Shishio said.

"Yay!" Nana couldn't help but hug Shishio happily.

Shishio looked at Nana, who hugged him and shook his head helplessly.

"...." Saki, Ritsu, Miu, and Shiina stared at Shishio and Nana at this moment.

"Cough! Cough! By the way, where's this arcade, Nana?" Shishio asked.

Nana also didn't embarrass Shishio that much and let him go, then said, "It's quite nearby. We have often played there in our middle school time, right, Maiko, Mea?"

Maiko nodded and said, "Yeah, it is a good place."

"It's also quiet, and there aren't many people, but most of the game machines there are new," Mea said.

"If there aren't many people, shouldn't the business be bad?" Saki asked in doubt.

"I'm not sure. Maybe the owner is rich? Maybe opening the arcade is just a hobby? Well, don't think too much and just play there," Nana said.

"Have you been there a lot of times, Nana?" Miu asked curiously.

"Hmm, well, we have been there quite a while before," Nana said while trying to count how many times that she had been there with Mea and Maiko. "Well, don't worry, this place is very fun!"

Shishio nodded and didn't think too much, but then he felt that his sleeve was tucked. Unlike the rest of the students, he didn't have a hobby of wearing the school blazer since it was quite ugly, and no one said anything about it. In truth, after he had gotten the "Tailor Mastery," he wanted to make his custom uniform, but let's do that later. He looked at Shiina, who tucked his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong, Mashiro?"

"Shishio, Shishio, what is an arcade?" Shiina asked.

"....." Somehow everyone was stunned at this moment and wondering how this girl could be so cute, right?
