After school,
Keyaki Mall_Shopping Center, in front of the large supermarket.
The store clerk lazily leaned on the counter, chin resting on hands, observing the scene before him.
"That."
"Do you want to check out the latest volume of 'Sword Art Online'?"
"I heard this volume is very exciting!"
"There's also some bangers, and the illustrations are particularly fantastic, you know."
Hikigaya, lowering his cap, countered in a low voice.
For those unaware,
They might think he's selling some colorful DVDs.
No way.
He felt that Himeno Yuki might ruin this business.
He had to quickly get rid of these books; otherwise, it would definitely backfire on him.
Fortunately.
"Huh?"
"Really? Give me one."
A male student looked around and responded in a hushed tone.
After all, buying illustrations and getting facial tissues as a bonus was quite a predictable thought in the world of anime. The moment he heard about illustrations with meat, he couldn't resist.
Approaching six o'clock.
Almost two hundred books had already been sold, adding up to a total of 312, including yesterday's sales.
At least he recovered the costs.
He also earned twelve thousand personal points.
However, when factoring in the cost of clothes, ID cards, and hats, plus covering Himeno Yuki's costume expenses, it was unclear if he was making a profit or a loss.
But it didn't matter.
In any case, from now on, every book sold was a profit, and the potential losses wouldn't be too substantial.
As long as he could prove that this method was indeed viable.
That would be enough.
Soon.
Not long before, Hikigaya saw Himeno Yuki approaching in a blue work uniform, carrying a shopping bag.
"Hard work. How many are left?"
Himeno Yuki sat beside him, placing the shopping bag between them, her tone noticeably excited.
"There are 38 left."
"They're selling quite fast."
Himeno Yuki tapped on the thick stack of light novels on the table, expressing some surprise.
"What is this?"
Hikigaya glanced at the shopping bag between the two of them.
The wine-red uniform and the white pleated skirt lay quietly there, along with the black stockings she often wore.
Hikigaya blushed instantly.
This girl was something.
"It's the uniform."
"Weren't you going back to the dorm first?"
Hikigaya was somewhat speechless; who changes clothes outside?
"That's too much trouble. I changed in the restroom and came straight over."
Himeno Yuki glanced at Hikigaya, who had a red face, and teasingly said:
"What, are you bothered by it?"
"N-no way."
Hikigaya quickly looked away.
It's just a uniform he usually wears; there's nothing special about it.
"Oh, is that so?"
Himeno Yuki tilted her head, pondering slightly, then suddenly leaned in close to his ear and whispered:
"There's also my panties inside."
"What?"
"If you say that, how could I not care? After all, I'm a guy."
"Haha, you're blushing!"
Himeno Yuki happily clapped her hands.
"Tsk."
Hikigaya turned his head away in disgust.
Calm down, there's no way she changed her clothes along with the ones underneath. She's just teasing him.
What a devil.
Playing with a boy's innocence, it's really too bad.
"Alright, don't be angry."
After laughing, Himeno Yuki patted his hand and changed the subject:
"How should we sell this?"
"Just sit here and wait for customers."
Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief.
With such a terrible personality, it's better to expose her in front of Ichinose and the others sooner. But he might get killed by Himeno Yuki, so he decided to forget about it.
"Just like this?"
"What else do you want?"
"Hmm..."
Himeno Yuki seemed unsatisfied: "It doesn't feel like what I imagined."
First day at work.
Most people would probably be very nervous, even doubting their ability to do the job well and trying their best to perform, fearing being pointed out by others.
But actually, after working, they realize it's just that.
"There's no helping it."
"After all, it's not a serious job."
"And, there's no work meal."
"The work content is naturally very simple."
Saying this, Hikigaya felt like a heartless businessman. With such treatment, who would come to work?
Himeno Yuki is indeed an exception.
"How much for one book?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? The cost price is 500, sell for 600."
"That's too little, right? Should at least sell for 1000, right?"
Forget it.
People who haven't done market research are like this. Perhaps Himeno Yuki's family environment is not bad, she doesn't have a concept of money?
"How could that be..."
"Then let me try."
Himeno Yuki stood up, holding a light novel excitedly waving:
"The latest volume of 'Sword Art Online', only 1000 points, first come first served, no waiting."
There's no way you can sell it like this.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Ichinose and the others?"
Hikigaya was a bit puzzled, she usually pretends to be quite good.
"Oh no, I forgot."
Himeno Yuki's face stiffened, she nervously looked around, and when she found no one, she sat down quietly.
"But."
After a while, Himeno Yuki said somewhat speechlessly: "Isn't this kind of work very boring?"
"Don't care..."
Hikigaya didn't care: "Most of the jobs in the world are crappy jobs, just get used to it. If you find it boring, you can go home first."
That being said.
It's better for her to go home sooner, Hikigaya has already felt several doubtful gazes.
"Never mind."
Himeno Yuki pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying: "It's not good to give up halfway, at least we should sell all these."
"Is that so, you've worked hard."
Hikigaya nodded.
Although he was pretending to be good in front of Ichinose and others, his character was somewhat bad.
But,
No matter what, Himeno Yuki is a person from Class B, her work attitude is very upright, and she feels that she will become a reliable corporate slave in the future.
"By the way."
Himeno Yuki seemed to remember something, looking at her phone and chatting:
"You and Ichinose seem to be practicing three-legged race, I didn't expect you to actually participate in the recommendation competition, it's simply incredible."
"How could I possibly participate on my own."
Hikigaya, like a robot, stared ahead with dead fish eyes: "That was Ichinose who signed me up without permission, I heard that the registration form has been handed in, and there is no chance to change it."
He felt that he would become a qualified convenience store clerk.
"Um... is that so."
Himeno Yuki dragged her voice and didn't seem to care, but her fingers tapping on the phone paused a bit.
"This is the latest volume of 'Sword Art Online', why is it placed outside?"
At this moment, a boy walked in front of the two of them, a question that most people would ask once.
In fact, just observing Hikigaya.
These people don't care too much about the answer, or it's just a simple social phrase.
After all, there are always such noisy people in the world.
As long as they are silent, they will feel embarrassed. If they don't say something nonsense, they feel like they can't live.
But the answer is actually good no matter how it is compiled.
"This..."
Himeno Yuki, who had just stood up, stiffened her face, seeming to lack this kind of on-the-spot response ability.
"Sorry, because there is no place inside."
Hikigaya stood up and said.
At this time, just casually make up a panic, the other party will not care so much.
"Oh, how much is it?"
"1000 points!"
Before Hikigaya could speak, Himeno Yuki was a little excited, and finally she could experience the feeling of working.
"Huh?"
The person in front of him was stunned for a moment, and looked up in surprise: "A light novel for 1000 points?"
"Uh... yes."
Himeno Yuki pecked at the rice like a little chicken and nodded: "We have already sold more than three hundred copies."
So you should buy it quickly, she revealed this meaning in her words.
Hikigaya stood aside, speechless to the extreme, this guy really thinks making money is a simple thing.
"Um..."
The unknown boy in front of him, looking at them, suddenly felt something was wrong, he looked at Himeno Yuki and said:
"By the way, let's not talk about him for now, you look so young."
"Hey."
Bastard, isn't that same as saying that he was old!!
What's wrong with this person, does he want to quarrel?
"Haha..."
Himeno Yuki couldn't help but glanced at Hikigaya, blinked, and what are you doing in a daze, help.
"Well, she is often told by people that she was look young"
Hikigaya was a bit speechless: "When applying for a job, our boss even suspected that she had forged her age."
My boss is Ichinose, so I didn't lie.
"That's true."
The passerby A nodded and laughed, "I almost feel like she's the same age as me, no wonder you're the one guiding her."
"There's no helping it."
Hikigaya forced a smile, "Actually, one person is enough for the cashier, but she just arrived and is not very familiar with the business, so I'm guiding her for now."
This bastard, he's definitely here to pick a fight, does he not look young?
"Would you like to buy this, sir?"
Hikigaya handed a light novel to him. It's so expensive that naturally, there won't be any fools buying it. In fact, he hopes to send the customer away.
He feels that the other party has begun to doubt.
"Yeah, would you like to buy it?"
Himeno Yuki held the light novel in both hands, her eyes sparkling.
After all, she's just a first-year high school student. The first day of work is probably like this, you can't expect too much from her.
"Um..."
The passerby man thought for a moment, then took out his phone and said, "Alright."
"Eh?"
Really?
Is he really going to buy it?
Hikigaya was suddenly dumbfounded. There are really such fools in the world. Could it be that he was bewitched by Himeno Yuki's beauty?
"Thank you, see you next time."
The two completed the transaction, and Himeno_Yuki quickly bowed.
"There probably won't be a next time."
The passerby A shook his head, "I feel like I'm quite famous in, I was also the general commander of the red team in the sports festival, and I've spoken on stage, you guys don't recognize me?"
"Uh..."
Hikigaya's face stiffened instantly.
By the way, who are you?
Hikigaya glanced at Himeno Yuki next to him.
Because on the first day of elementary school, he remembered everyone's faces and names, and was told that it was really disgusting.
After that, he didn't put the names of irrelevant people in his heart.
Who knows, Himeno Yuki also had a confused face. Well, she's not that kind of very excellent type either.
She probably daydreamed during the sports festival speech.
"Don't make that face."
The Passerby A student looked at Hikigaya, reached out his hand and laughed, "I'm Fujimaki from class 3A, nice to meet you."
"Hikigaya Hachiman!"
"Himeno Yuki, nice to meet you."
The two quickly introduced themselves. Hikigaya was a bit troubled, "That, senior, since you've already discovered it, why..."
"There's no special reason."
Fujimaki shook his head, "Although it's indeed a bit expensive, it's nothing to me, and it's rare to see such interesting juniors, so I wanted to take care of you guys."
"Is that so, thank you, senior."
Hikigaya forced a smile, why does it feel like the other party just wants to tease them?
"Then I'll go first."
"That..."
"Don't worry."
Before the two of them could speak, Fujimaki laughed, "I won't tell anyone about this, but being discovered is probably just a matter of time."
"A loophole that can earn up to 20 million personal points, I'm also curious about what Horikita's reaction will be when she knows about this, it should be very interesting."
"Is that so, thank you, senior."
Himeno Yuki slightly bowed and sighed in relief.
Hikigaya watched his departing figure, worthy of being a person from class 3A, his insight is so amazing.
After Fujimaki left, the two helplessly looked at each other.
"Pfft..."
Himeno Yuki chuckled and couldn't stop laughing, covering her mouth.
"What are you laughing at?"
"No, because it's very interesting."
Himeno Yuki pointed at him, somewhat unable to suppress her laughter, "You're clearly blushing when you see my stockings, but you lie so easily without even blushing."
"Tsk."
Hikigaya turned his face to one side in disgust.
This damn woman, this hurdle can't be passed, right? He feels that this matter might become his lifelong dark history.
