Part 1

… Fuck…

What’s wrong, Uu-chan? You are glaring at your phone like a demon.

…I was looking at my banking app.

I splurged at that collab cafe the other day, so it is what it is, but there’s an online only event for PatiBattle next week and I don’t have any funds left for it…!

Oh well, I’ll see if there are any temporary part-time jobs I can do…

Mm. In that case, can I ask you to do something for me?

What is it?

There was this part-time job Nishizono-san offered to me. However, I suddenly got busy with student council work and cannot make it anymore. I was just about to contact him about it.

What if you went in my place? It’s a day job, so it should match what you are looking for.

For real!? Thanks, but is it really fine for me to take it? What do I have to do? Carry heavy stuff?

More so go and stand around, I believe. You won’t be required to carry heavy objects.

I see. I mean, if that’s all then sure. Can you let Nishizono-san know for me?

The models are coming in. We’re looking forward to working with you today!

The pleasure’s all mine.

Th-The… pleasure’s all, mine…

Renga’s partner today’s a ward mayor kid? Awww, his face is adorable. How cute.

…I, wanna, leave…

Ushio, are you okay…? Don’t be so nervous. The staff aren’t really your enemies, or anything…

Th-That’s not what… Sorry, lemme make a call!

O-Okay.

Hello? Oh, it’s Uu-chan. How is the job going?

Horrible, thanks. You never told me I’d be Nishizono-san’s modelling partner!?

But you are not carrying heavy objects.

That’s not the point! Besides, there’s no way I can model!? I’m leaving, I’m definitely dipping when I get the chance…!

That's no good. If you decide to accept something, it is only right that you see it through to the end. You would also end up troubling Nishizono-san.

Urgh…

A man never goes back on his word. Besides, Uu-chan is not the type of coward to run away like this.

Urgh… Ahh… Fuck… It’s fine as long as I do it, right!
