After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
It was the evening of the third day of living with Kirigiri—.
“I decided to get a part-time job.”
Kirigiri suddenly said to me as I was lying down in the small room and doing the rounds of the online game.
“All of a sudden?”
“Well, we’ll need food and other daily necessities in the future, right? It would be bad to use the money Kinoshita’s mother sends.”
As Kirigiri ran a comb through her beautiful black hair, she murmured happily, [I’ve always wanted to try this.]
I see, so Kirigiri doesn’t want to cause any trouble.
“But the school rules say you can’t have a part-time job, right? If you’re found out……”
“You can’t be picky about such small things. We can’t live without money.”
Our school basically does not allow part-time jobs.
It may be unusual in this day and age, but it is said that the school prioritizes academics.
However, since there are some who do it secretly, the rule does not work at all.
“I mean, don’t you have a part-time job, Kinoshita?”
“I’d love to, but I’m afraid I’ll neglect my schoolwork……”
I’d like to try it once, but I really don’t know if there is anything I’d want to buy with all the money I’d have to save up.
By the way, if there’s a game I want, I buy it from my allowance.
“I remember you can’t live on your own if your grades are bad.”
“Yes, that’s what I decided with my mother.”
The reason I’m able to live on my own is because I’m getting good grades.
If my mother finds out that I have failed even one class, I will be immediately deported back to my parents’ home.
The thought of having to live with that nagging mother again was too much for my nerves to handle, so I had to make sure it didn’t happen.
“So, when will you start? Part-time job?”
“I start working today.”
“Today !? That’s sudden….by the way, what about your shift?”
“For now, I’ve decided on three shifts a week. It’s not good to work too hard.”
Even if Kirigiri worked full-time, she would likely still easily get the top spot in her grade in tests, so there’s no point in worrying.
By the way, when did Kirigiri apply for a part-time job?
“So, where’s your part-time job?”
It may be none of my business, but I was strangely curious about the job Kirikiri had chosen.
When I said that, Kirigiri smiled fearlessly and said, “It’s a secret.”
“Why…..?”
“Because I’m embarrassed.”
I took the liberty of imagining Kirigiri at work.
I think the most common part-time jobs are customer service jobs at convenience stores or restaurants, but I’m not sure.
However, if Kirigiri worked in the hospitality industry, she would likely thrive as a signboard girl.
“You just imagined something strange, didn’t you?”
Kirigiri looks at me with a glare.
“I didn’t. I was just wondering what kind of work would suit you.”
Suddenly, a job that would suit Kirigiri popped into my head.
“I see. I got it.”
“What?”
Kirigiri is a good cook. She will probably be in charge of the kitchen of some restaurant.
I think I know best how good Kirigiri is at cooking. Cooking is indeed Kirikiri’s vocation.
“No, I have a pretty good idea where you’ll be working.”
“What?”
“Cooking, right? I think you’ll be working in the kitchen of a chain restaurant. It’s more fun to do something you’re good at, right?”
I said confidently, and Kirigiri tried to dodge the question by looking away.
“Well, I guess it’s not close, but not far off..”
I knew it. The kitchen is the only place the school won’t find out about it, so there’s nothing to worry about.
I tried to imagine Kirigiri wearing a chef’s hat, but I couldn’t help but laugh, so I decided to hold it in.
“Well, I’m off now. I think I’ll be back around evening.”
Kirigiri stood up, carrying the bag she had prepared in advance.
Sunglasses and a cap for disguise. She was dressed in a white T-shirt for women, skinny jeans, and a rough style. This outfit was also one she bought at Uniqlo the last time she went shopping for household items.
It was the cheapest one I could find, but it looks even better when Kirigiri wears it. With the sunglasses, she looks like a magazine model.
“You’re leaving already?”
“Yeah. It would look bad if I was late for my first day of work, right?”
“Then, good luck~ Take care.”
“Ah ! Oh yeah !”
Kirigiri suddenly stopped in front of the entrance and turned to face me. Perhaps she had forgotten something.
“Are you going out today?”
“Not really…”
If I were to go, I probably would only stop by a convenience store, but I didn’t understand the true meaning of Kirigiri’s words.
“I see…..glad to hear that.”
“What do you mean?”
“N-nothing ! I’m off now !”
“?”
I tilted my head at myself, but feeling that it wasn’t particularly important, I lay back down and returned to my shagging rounds.
Ping–.
A few seconds after Kirigiri left the house, I received a notification on my phone.
[(Haga) Are you free today? Let’s play~!”
It was Haga.
I haven’t played with Haga recently, so I thought it would be okay to let him into the house today.
[(Kinoshita) Fine. I was just having some free time.]
[(Haga) Ah ! For real ! I’m heading to your house now !]
Haga’s reaction suggests that he is unaware that Kirigiri and I are living together.
Looks like Chinatsu is keeping the secret.
Maybe it’s because Kirigiri is her childhood friend, but she’s a big help. I’ll buy her a crepe next time.
[(Haga) Let’s play some fighting games !]
[(Kinoshita) Sure.]
After sending my usual curt reply, I immediately checked my surroundings.
The last time Haga came over, he found Kirihiri’s controller and I broke out in a cold sweat.
I would not make the same mistake again. I put the new mattress in the closet. I collect the long hairs on the floor with a roller.
Then, I collect Kirigiri’s toothbrush, towels, and cosmetics once and move them to the bathroom.
This was something I had planned in advance in case Haga ever came to the house. Of course, I had Kirigiri’s approval.
Once I informed Kirigiri that Haga was coming, I put it into action.
(As planned.)
Even though I hadn’t done anything wrong, for some reason I broke out into a fearless smile.
