The fake sick leave ran out, and Kamiyagawa resumed the routine of a Tokyo high school boy.
Work-study.
Classes during the day, part-time work at night.
That night.
Convenience store.
After a bit more than a week, Kamiya finally started working the night shift with Okamura again.
"Miss Maruta still has an extra thousand yen left in the store,"
Okamura said while checking the merchandise on the shelves.
"Miss Maruta still has an extra thousand yen left in the store."
Okamura repeated while clearing out the expired boxed meals.
In the end, he walked up to the cash register and began to sigh, "Miss Maruta..."
"Stop! That's enough, it's getting annoying," Kamiyagawa Kazu snapped irritably from the side, breaking the spell, "You've been going on about it all night, give yourself a break, and give me one too, okay?"
"But, Kamiya-kun, why hasn't Miss Maruta come to the store tonight?"
Okamura clearly had no intention of ending the topic that easily.
