A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
“…..I’m broke.”
I’m on winter break and I’m safely dead broke.
The expenses for the last after party were moderately painful, but under normal circumstances, more money would have warmed my pockets. The reason is something else.
“I bought too many….shitty games…….”
Shitty games are, as the name implies, shitty. Therefore, they are sometimes sold second-hand at low prices in game stores or on the Internet.
Then why? It’s like the saying goes, [If you buy too many games, they will all pile up]. Yes, I bought too much.
If this is the case, why didn’t I just beg Kaori’s father to buy them for me? No, you’re being cheeky.
“There’s a quick way to make money…that said, part-time work is prohibited at my high school. There’s still time until the New Year’s war funds are closed. Hmm… is this a checkmate?”
First day of winter break.
I finished my assignments early and felt free, but my pockets were cold. I collapsed into bed and buried my face in the pillow.
Kukuku……pillow, can you absorb all my tears?
As I was feeling such despair, I hear a call from my phone.
“…..Hmm? Is it from Fuyuki? Yes, hello. What’s up, Fuyuki?”
[Oh, hello Serito kun. It’s been a while since the other day, hasn’t it? Are you free right now?]
“I’m free. I just finished all my assignments.”
[What a coincidence. I just finished mine too. …Let’s get straight to the point. Serito kun, would you like to work part-time at my mansion? ”
After a few seconds of silence and a full turn of my brain, I finally speak.
“Hae???”

–The next day.
“I feel like…..I took on the job with a lot of momentum……”
The place I came to was Fuyuki’s house, or rather her mansion.
It’s like a Western-style building where you can’t see the roof unless you look up to the point where it hurts your neck.
But what is this mansion that looks like it belongs in an RPG game? It makes me so excited.
“Ah, Serito kun, this way !”
“Oh, good morning, Akira kun. It’s cold this morning.”
“It’s really cold. I can’t get up in the morning…..”
I found Akira kun who greeted me and approached me with a white breath.
“Well, thank you for accepting the part-time job ! My co-worker suddenly took the day off, so you were very helpful !”
“Well, it’s not a part-time job, and I’ll be helping out at my friend’s house, so it’s not a problem.”
“Well, I think it’s more out of the ordinary, but I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
Fuyuki’s part-time job proposal was to clean the house. Since it’s just a helping hand and not a part-time job, I’m sure I can somehow escape from the school rules.
For this reason, I was somehow able to get my head around it and nod.
Well, it was the right decision to accept the job, since I would get some money and have a meaningful experience.
“I’ll show you to the changing rooms…..and before that, I’m gonna go say hello to Young lady !”
“Oh.”
I followed Akira kun’s back into the mansion and began walking down the long, long corridor.
Rare paintings and expensive-looking vases dotted the hallway, and it looked like there were traps set up all over the place that could end your life.
Working in a place like this now? If I make even one mistake, I feel like I’m going to be forced to end my life sooner rather than later.
“Miss〜 I’ve brought Serito kun with me. I’ll come in.”
When I knocked on the door of the room I arrived at and opened it, I found Fuyuki dressed much more roughly than usual.
“Hello, Serito kun.”
“Oh. …..I see that your nightclothes are normal.”
“Well, this is not something I would have chosen. …..Did you think it was lame??”
“Yes.”
“Instant answer ! It’s disrespectful ! If you reach the maximum disrespect point, I’ll have you killed !”
“That’s unreasonable !?”
If I fail to meet the deadline, I’ll have to commit suicide.
I’m about to start a terrible part-time job, aren’t I?
“Ahem. First of all, thank you for accepting my proposal. What I would like you to do is clean the annex where we welcome guests.”
“Annex? Is that the main building where we are now?”
“That’s right. We are planning to hold a party soon, so we need to clean the annex before then, but one of the servants had to take a sudden leave of absence…….”
“So you called me.”
The hourly wage was 2,000 yen, which I thought was an expensive and dangerous part-time job.
Well, let’s just say it’s reasonable considering it’s right next to death. And if you’re careful, you’ll be fine, and there’s nothing to worry about–
“My Lady, we have a problem ! ! !”
Suddenly, the door to the room is opened and a maid enters. I can smell a bad odor.
“What’s wrong?”
“I was just about to start cleaning in the annex, when the son of the Imperial Household arrived……”
“What did you say?”
It seemed like there was some kind of emergency, and unusually, sweat was dripping from Fuyuki’s temples.
“What is this Emperor guy, Akira kun?”
“We were on good terms with the Narakida family, but their son insisted that he marry this family daughter, and it was a troublesome marriage.”
“Families with power have troubles everywhere……”
I guess I won’t get a bite today. I’ll be in trouble if something goes wrong.
That’s what I was thinking, but then the conversation started taking a strange turn.
“My colleague has his hands full with cleaning, so we don’t have enough available manpower….. On the other hand, if it were a male servant, that gentleman would be offended……”
“Hm. So, even though you’re a man, there’s no problem as long as you act like a woman. …..It’s your turn, Akira, Serito kun.”
…….
………….
……………….
“Eh???”
“It’ll be okay as long as you look like a girl♪”
“Wait, wait, wait !?!?”
I knew from the bottom of my heart that I should not accept this part-time job lightly.
