I have a membership card, and there's a discount on these sports watches!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's great.\" Natsume Chikage laughed it off, but after thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea to get his hands on this watch, so he took the initiative to ask, \"About how much does this watch cost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi blinked, \"About 60,000 yen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage's heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single sports watch was worth a month's rent for the place he lived in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Fujiwara Aoi's family was actually quite wealthy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just wanted to say that if it were cheap, he would give her an equivalent sports watch and then find an excuse to keep this watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed he would have to wait until he had more money before he could do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had about 40,000 yen in his wallet right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he really wanted to do so, he would have to wait until he had more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... Natsume-kun, when do you plan to go buy it?\" Fujiwara Aoi blinked her lively eyes, full of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's wait until it's closer to my sister's birthday, it's still early...\" Natsume Chikage found an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm, then it's a promise!\" Fujiwara Aoi smiled energetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them entered the coffee shop and changed into their work uniforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi looked at the shop and saw only the manager, her, and Natsume Chikage, and felt a little happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems there are only the three of us in the shop this morning, but I really didn't expect that today you and I would be scheduled for the same morning shift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage hadn't expected this either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male manager, Yamamoto Koji, coughed twice to attract their attention, then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about that, I'm very thoughtful, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manager, you're very thoughtful, too thoughtful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi also gave a thumbs up and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is, the manager is really a good person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words \"really a good person,\" Yamamoto Koji seemed to recall some bad memories, and the corners of his mouth twitched:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that's enough, it's almost opening time, go prepare for the shop's work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop had finished the preparations for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the rolling shutter of the storefront was opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage noticed that there were already people waiting at the entrance and welcomed them in with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls who were chatting noisily at the entrance were stunned the moment they saw Natsume Chikage's smile, and then one by one, they changed from their previous boisterousness to being quiet and shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One bold girl even took the initiative to strike up a conversation, \"Um... what time does the morning shift end here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?
