Chapter 11

*The Boy's Sorrowful Diary* obtained yesterday had already been stored inside.

And among the known special equipment, this *Sports Watch* was already the third piece.

If he obtained this piece, plus the special equipment from his sister, he would be able to obtain 1 attribute point!

Thinking of this.

His eyes revealed a longing for this sports watch!

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's expression was a bit shy; she clearly noticed that Natsume Chikage's gaze had been fixed on her hand.

Natsume-kun had never looked at her hand like this before, so what was going on today?

"Natsume-kun, why have you been staring?" Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui stammered.

Natsume Chikage came back to his senses instantly.

He reacted quickly and immediately bluffed, "I just saw that you hadn't worn this sports watch before, thought it looked quite good, and wanted to buy one for my sister."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui said happily, "Next time you have your sister come over, I'll take you both to buy it; I have a membership card, there's a discount on these sports watches!"

"That's great." Natsume Chikage laughed it off, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea to get his hands on the watch, so he took the initiative to ask, "About how much does this watch cost?"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui blinked, "About 60,000 yen."

Natsume Chikage's heart skipped a beat.

A sports watch was worth a month's rent for the place he lived in!

Could it be that Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui's family was actually quite wealthy?

He had just wanted to say that if it were cheap, he would send her an equivalent sports watch and then find an excuse to keep this watch.

Now it seemed he would have to wait until he had extra money to do so.

Now there was only about 40,000 yen in his wallet.

Next month's rent was 60,000 yen, plus other food, clothing, housing, and transportation expenses; where would he have the money to buy such an expensive watch?

Even if he really wanted to do so, he would have to wait until he had extra money.

"So… when do you plan to go buy it, Natsume-kun?" Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui blinked her lively eyes, full of curiosity.

"Let's wait until it's closer to my sister's birthday; it's still early…" Natsume Chikage found an excuse.

"Mm-hmm, then it's a promise!" Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui smiled energetically.

A moment later.

The two entered the coffee shop and changed into their work uniforms.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui looked at the shop and saw only the manager, her, and Natsume Chikage, and was instantly a little happy.

"It seems there are only the three of us in the shop this morning, but I really didn't expect that you and I would be scheduled for the same morning shift today."

"What a coincidence."

Natsume Chikage hadn't expected this either.

"Indeed."

The male manager, Yamamoto Koji, coughed twice to attract their attention and then explained:

"It's not a coincidence; it's because you two are starting school tomorrow, so I gave you the morning shift today so you can go back early tonight and get a good night's sleep."

"How is it, I'm very thoughtful, right, Manager?"

Natsume Chikage suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up:

"Manager, you're so thoughtful, too thoughtful!"

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui also gave a thumbs up and smiled:

"So that's how it is, the manager is really a good person!"

Yamamoto Koji heard the words "really a good person" and seemed to recall some bad memories; the corners of his mouth twitched:

"Alright, stop talking, it's almost opening time, go prepare for the shop opening!"

Before long.

The shop was already busy with preparations before work.

When the rolling shutter door of the storefront was opened.

Natsume Chikage noticed that there were already people waiting at the entrance and welcomed them in with a smile:

"Welcome."

The girls who were chatting and chirping at the entrance were stunned the moment they saw Natsume Chikage's smile, and then one by one, they changed from being carefree to being quiet and shy.

Among them, a bold girl even took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Um… what time do you guys get off work on the morning shift?"

"Huh? Do you want to come and work part-time?" Natsume Chikage was puzzled.

"Uh… cough, cough, my younger sister at home has this idea, can you tell me?"

"Around five in the afternoon."

"There are people queuing behind, it seems like chatting with you here will affect your work… how about I add your LINE, and later I'll have my sister chat with you about the job… how about that?"

"My phone is in the work locker, the manager is right here, how about I have him add you?"

Yamamoto Koji heard this and walked over excitedly.

"What, someone wants to work part-time? Very welcome, I'll add your LINE now!"

The girl sweated on her forehead and laughed, "I suddenly remembered that my sister is nearby, I'll call her over to chat with you, Manager, in a while…"

"Okay…" Yamamoto Koji walked back somewhat helplessly, secretly took out a mirror to look at himself, then looked at Natsume Chikage, who was still being chatted up by other girls, and was instantly depressed.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui, who was on the side, looked at the scene of Natsume Chikage being chatted up, pursed her lips slightly, was a little unhappy, and said directly to Natsume Chikage:

"Natsume-kun, the manager wants you to go to the back and get some coffee beans."

Yamamoto Koji was stunned: When did I say that?
