At the restaurant, Yuzuru mainly works during the weekday dinner hours.
He is assigned to work for about three or four hours between 17:00 and 22:00.
On that day, he was working from 17:00 to 20:00.
When Yuzuru finished changing his clothes, he left the waiting room and went to the hall…
He was stopped by a man with a neutral appearance.
“Hey, hey, how’s it going with your girlfriend? Are things going well?”
Hasegawa Hiromi.
He was the manager of this restaurant.
Because he had been a great help on a regular basis and he owes him a lot of flexibility with his shifts, Yuzuru had already told him that his White Day confession went well.
…Although it is true that he did not tell him that he had proposed to his fiancée.
“Yeah, it’s going good.”
“I see. I’m glad to hear that.”
Hiromi smiled widely at Yuzuru.
Then …He whispered to Yuzuru.
“By the way, how far have you gotten?”
“…what do you mean how far?”
“How far did you go on ABC?”
“That’s a very old-fashioned expression.”
“I am an uncle.”
Although he looked young, Hiromi was the same age as Yuzuru’s mother.
By the way, he had a wife and children.
He was a father of two.
It’s not so strange that he had a family since he was the owner of a reasonably prosperous restaurant.
“… is A up to the lips?”
“Well, I guess?”
“Then we’ve achieved A.”
“… and B?”
“How far …is B?”
“Lewd things up to putting it in.”
“That naturally is a long way off.”
When Yuzuru replied that, Hiromi opened her eyes wide.
Unexpected! He put his hand over his mouth as if to say that.
“Young people these days are so advanced in so many ways, I thought perhaps you’d have gone as far as B.”
“I try to keep my activities moderate.”
“That’s great, but don’t be too mindful or you’ll be hated.”
“… No, it’s not that I’m being a late-bloomer, though I wouldn’t say that for sure.”
Yuzuru was also a high schoolboy.
His family situation and relationship with his girlfriend might be a little, well, peculiar, but he had the same level of desire.
It is natural for him to want to do such and such things with his girlfriend.
But…
“Is your girlfriend more reserved than you?”
“Well… something like that, I guess.”
When Yuzuru replied that, Hiromi nodded in understanding.
“That’s right. Since we are talking about Yuzuru-kun’s girlfriend, she must be from a respectable family. There’s no wonder why she’s reserved.”
There was no denying that Arisa comes from a good family in general.
However, Yuzuru couldn’t help but tilt his head when asked if it was because of her good family background that she was so reserved.
Simply, Arisa’s personality and temperament would account for a large part of it.
She was a bit on the timid side.
“Well, I can’t tell you to push her down. Take your time, but don’t miss your chance. The mood is important. Mood.”
“I’ve got it.”
How exactly do you create a mood?
Yuzuru wondered, but headed for the hall.
Around 19 o’clock, two hours had passed since he started working.
“Welcome… Geh!”
Yuzuru’s sales smile twitched.
This was because a familiar figure walked into the store.
“What’s the deal with this waiter sounding like Cao Cao when he runs into Guan Yu?” (TN: Historic reference. Feel free to google Guan Yu)
“We are customers, you know!”
Ayaka and Chiharu.
There was no doubt that they were there to banter.
“I’ve told you before… I don’t mind if you come, but bantering around is not good for the store…”
