Chapter 15: The Siren Before Getting Off Work

5 p. m.

Ren Amamiya, who had worked continuously for three and a half hours, finally reached the end of his shift; at this hour, children had already begun to be taken home one by one by their parents, so the work of playing the mascot was practically over.

This time also granted Ren Amamiya an extra half hour of rest.

"Good job, Ren."

The female shop manager was quite satisfied with Ren Amamiya, this employee.

"You have been working hard all day today, with very little time slacking off."

The female shop manager, who was not blind, could see whether or not there was such a thing as slacking off; she could see Ren Amamiya, this silent employee who did not like to talk or slack off.

"Ren, you now have an extra half hour of rest."

"Is that okay?"

"No problem."

The female shop manager glanced at the situation in the store, thinking about the customer flow and the level of busyness throughout the day, and she nodded happily.

"The customer flow today is considered high even for weekends; many flavors of ice cream in the store have already sold out, which also means your work in drawing in customers today was done very well."

The ice cream actually targets young children.

After all, girls worry about weight issues, so few people come to eat ice cream. As for boys, they rarely come unless accompanied by a girl. Instead, quite a few adults come bringing young children.

When adults come with young children, the final spending is not just from the children.

The mascot's work of handing out flyers and balloons was done quite well; even if the flyers' effect was only within the amusement park, as long as they had some effect, people seeing the flyers would come to the ice cream shop to spend.

Comparing the usual weekend foot traffic with today's foot traffic shows it clearly; today's mascot distribution work was done thoroughly, truly attracting people over.

The female shop manager withdrew her gaze.

"Today's work is actually almost complete; in half an hour, we will see the situation. If the remaining ice cream also sells out, your work for today ends here."
