The Top 3 Beauties in My School Are All My Subordinates at My Part-time Job～ You Guys Are Out of My League, So Stop Relying on a Mediocre Guy
[I want to provide delicious sweets that make our customers happy and a space where they can have fun and relax.]
My mother, who passed away two years ago, had such an ideal café.
＊＊＊
“Listen, Yuuhi. I’m hiring a part-timer.”
“Hire a part-timer !? Why?”
One day at dinner time. My father suddenly said something strange. He was crazy, this old man.
“Well, it’s not so easy when you’re the only one in the hall, is it?”
Apparently a customer who happened to come into the store asked if they were hiring part-time workers.
It sounds like a bit of a light-hearted idea, so I can’t really agree with it.
“You will be in the kitchen and I’ll be in the dining area. Isnt’that fine?”
Our café has about 10 tables and 10 seats at the counter.
It is certainly a large place for one person to work when the place is full.
But it is rarely full.
“Hey Dad. We talked about making that store into the ideal store that Mom had in mind, right?”
“Oh, of course.”
“Then why don’t we run it by ourselves instead of letting other people in?”
“I mean. You’re running the hall by yourself. So there are a lot of customers waiting and you don’t have a good eye on them.”
That is true. But I don’t like the idea of having a stranger in the store.
“Yuuhi. What kind of store would be ideal for Hinata?”
Hinata is my mother. And the name of the cafe is [café de HINATA.]
The store that my father and I run now was started by my mother and father together a long time ago.
“It was—“
My mother told me many times before she died.
“[I want to provide delicious food that makes customers smile and a space where they can enjoy themselves and feel relaxed.]”
“That’s right.”
My mother’s motto was “Smiles are wings,” and she was a cheerful and innocent person who made everyone around her happy.
She was a lovely, sunny person who was loved by many.
After my mother passed away two years ago, “café de HINATA” was closed because my father could not run the store by himself.
But I wanted to reopen the store, which was filled with my mother’s thoughts and feelings. So I asked my father for a favor.
My father said, [You can work in the dining area and be the manager. I’ll focus on cooking.]
My father was a genius at cooking and baking. But I’m not good at cooking.
On the other hand, my father is not good at serving customers. I’m not good at interacting with others either, but I’m still better than him.
So I agreed to my father’s proposal and decided to revive the cafe every Sunday.
That was three months ago.
“Then why don’t we have more people to help us?”
“I doubt that someone who didn’t know my mother would understand our ideals.”
“She seemed like a nice person.”
“Well, being nice is not enough.”
“Yuuhi, you don’t have to assume it won’t work. Let’s just have a part-timer come in and see how it goes.”
If there was someone who could help me in the hall, which I have to run by myself, it would certainly bring the restaurant closer to my mother’s ideal.
“Well, if you say so.”
If the person would be an obstacle to the ideal store, I would ask them to quit.
That’s what I thought lightly at the time.

Ano Private High School. That’s the high school I go to.
I’m the manager of the café, but I’m only a sophomore in high school.
That’s why “Café de Hinata” is only open on Sundays.
I serve customers, but I’m not a cheerful person.
I’m the type of person who is more comfortable being alone than having a good time with others.
At school, I’m a quiet, inconspicuous, ordinary boy who is like air.
In the classroom during lunch break—
“Hey, Miyabi. I like your accessory ! Let me see it !”
“Please don’t break it.”
“I won’t break it〜 Do I look that careless?”
These are the girls who are known as the top three beauties in our school.
They are called the miracles of Ano High School, and are so good looking that they are special even within the school. In other words, they are the nobles.
Looking at them individually, they have such a strong aura of being out of reach that ordinary guys like us are afraid to even talk to them.
Even if only one girl has such a presence, all three of them are in the same class.
And they are so close that they always get together and have a lot of fun.
Many of the boys are too dazzled to look directly at them.
Of course, I don’t look directly at them, and I rarely talk to them.
“What are you talking about? Rin chan is like a careless person walking around with clothes on.”
The one being treated as a careless person is Hamakaze Hamakaze Rinrin.
She seems to be half French, with blonde hair and big, patchy eyes.
She is very pretty and has a cheerful personality, like a top idol.
And the one who is giving her a hard time is Kyono Miyabi. She is a neat and neat girl with beautiful black hair and a calm demeanor. She has a rather young face, which makes her an overwhelming favorite among boys who like younger girls.
“Ahhh, Miyamiya, that’s terrible ! Hey, Suzuka chan, what do you think?”
“I think Miyabi is right on the money?”
The one who gave Hamakaze a calm and scathing rebuke was Kamigasaki Suzuka.
Sleek style. Slightly slanted eyes and a small face.
She is an intelligent, mature, cool beauty. She has an atmosphere that makes it a little difficult to approach her.
These top three girls and I happened to be in the same class in the second year of high school.
However, I rarely interacted with them.
“Hmm. How noble. How wonderful. A feast for the eyes.”
The guy in the seat in front of me, mumbling those creepy lines, is Maeno kun, a nerdy guy with glasses. He is also an otaku.
Like Maeno, many boys are interested in the top three beauties, but they just watch them from afar.
Not only him, but there are few boys who can have a proper conversation with the top three beauties.
The one boy who can talk to these ladies on an equal footing is—
“Hey, Rinrin. Wanna go to karaoke with everyone after school today? I’m off from club activities.”
“Oh, let’s go. Let’s sing.”
“I’ll go too, so let’s go.”
The three good-looking guys, ABC, are the ones who fearlessly invite the top three girls to karaoke.
The first one to talk to Hamakaze is Adachi, ace of the basketball team.
Then there are Bando, a band vocalist, and Chiba, a magazine model.
“A karaoke, sounds nice ! Ryoka chan, Miya chan, whaddya think?”
Who will the top three girls and the good-looking ABCs go out with?
That is the topic that everyone in this class is most interested in right now.
A beautiful girl and a handsome guy will become lovers. This is the order of the world.
It has been half a year since we entered the second grade, and everyone’s interest is growing, thinking that it is about time for a couple to be born.
“I don’t wanna. I’ll pass.”
“Eh, Ryoka, don’t say that, c’mon.”
“I won’t go.”
Kamigasaki was not happy about Bando’s invitation. I feel sorry for him.
“You sure? Then, what about Kyono san?”
“I-I’m not going either.”
“Eh? Even Kyono san? Wow, what a bummer.”
Chiba kun, you like Kyono san, huh?
“Rinrin will join us even if she’s alone. Let’s go to karaoke together.”
Adachi is talking to Hamakaze san in a friendly manner. Come to think of it, these two are usually so close to each other that there are rumors that they are already dating.
“No, if these two don’t wanna go, then me too. Let’s go again next time.”
All three good looking guys have been defeated. Poor guys.
But all three of them are good-looking, and I’m sure one of them will become a couple in the near future.
—–Well, I don’t really care about that. It doesn’t matter to me.
What’s important to me is not the top three girls that I have little to do with—-
What’s more important to me is how to run the café successfully.
How can I get along with the part-timers who will start the next Sunday?
Will they be able to do what I want them to do?
—That is my biggest worry.
