Chapter 139: Pounding
"Nee-chan?"
"Yuu-senpai?"
"..." 2x
When Chika and Ishigami turned, they saw a familiar face, which made them helpless.
"Moeha?"
"Kei-chan?"
At the same time, Moeha, Chika's little sister, and Kei, Shirogane's little sister, were dumbfounded before they showed their respective reactions.
"Nee-chan is kissing!"
Moeha was all shy, then looked at Ishigami in amazement. "Wow~! Nee-chan's boyfriend is so handsome~!" If Chika's boyfriend was so handsome, then she wouldn't mind marrying Ishigami in the future.
Wait, why did her thoughts move strangely?
Still—
"Ah, I need to tell Father, Mother, Grandpa, Grandma, and Toyomi-neechan, too!"
"Wait, Moeha!"
Chika was all panicked and quickly hugged her little sister to stop her from doing anything hasty!
Yet, Kei couldn't stay calm at all, especially when she saw Ishigami, the senior who had helped her, had a girlfriend, and that girlfriend was the big sister of her best friend!
"Um... Yuu-senpai, are you dating Chika-nee?"
"...yes."
Ishigami had to say that his day was full of amazing events, and this made him helpless. Fortunately, he had been trained, or else, any normal man would succumb to the stress. Still, thinking of his father's thin hair, he wondered whether this stress would make him bald.
"....."
Ishigami thought that he needed to find a solution to this problem.
Still, the core of everything had always been a healthy body, and fortunately, Iino loved a bald guy.
"I-I see..." Kei felt weak all of a sudden, but fortunately, she was caught by Ishigami. "Are you okay?"
"Ah, um, thank you. I-I am just a bit tired."
"Let's sit down first." Ishigami looked at Chika and Moeha, who were in a deep discussion between sisters. "They might need time to talk to each other."
"...yes." Kei nodded, but she lowered her head so Ishigami wouldn't see her current expression.
Ishigami looked at the cup of drink that he had bought to drink on the way home, then looked at Kei. "Do you want an iced lemon tea, Kei?"
"Ah? N-No, it's fine. It's yours, right, Yuu-senpai?"
"It's fine. I have two with me."
"Okay, then..."
While hesitating, Kei decided to accept since she had really seen that Ishigami had bought two iced lemon teas with him, and she felt like... a cold drink could calm her.
"Here you go."
"Thank you."
Taking a drink, she sipped the cold, sweet lemon iced tea. It was sweet yet sour, which made her face wrinkle slightly but gave her a refreshing feeling, making her body comfortable all over and feel better.
Ishigami looked at Chika, who was talking with Moeha, and felt that they might take a while. "What are you two doing?"
"Ah, we're looking for a part-time job."
"Part-time job?"
"Yes, I plan to take a part-time job, and Moeha is helping me to look around." Kei didn't lie and told the truth, especially when she knew well how close Ishigami and her older brother were.
"Have you found it?"
"Not yet. It is hard to search for a store that will hire a girl of my age, after all." Kei showed a helpless expression. If she was a high school student, it would be easy, but she is a middle school student.
Sending out newspapers might be good, but she wished to get a little more.
As for the strange part-time jobs, naturally, she would pass.
If possible, Ishigami wanted to tell Kei to work in the shops that were owned by her friends' parents, but then again, considering her personality, she probably didn't want to trouble others or ask such a request.
If he had to guess, Moeha decided to accompany Kei on her initiative as she was worried or just wanted to stay a little longer with Kei, considering how weird Moeha was, according to Chika.
Still, Tokyo had a lot of people, which was different from the countryside, and considering how attractive Kei was, even if she was a little young, some people might have bad intentions, especially when many of the guys were into the young ones in this country.
'But a part-time job, huh?'
Ishigami didn't have an interest in part-time jobs, considering how low their salaries were, and most part-time jobs would get barely 1,000 yen or more an hour.
Fortunately, he had the Eyes of Wealth, so he could get a lot of money from the stock market, but he knew well that normal people were different since, to get money, they had to work hard from morning to night.
Yet, this matter aside, he wondered what kind of part-time job suited Kei.
'Maid cafe?'
Thinking of Kei, who dressed as a cat maid as she welcomed the customer, his expression turned strange.
'Welcome back, Master~!'
"...." Ishigami took a deep breath and asked, "...do you have a preference?"
"No."
"So, it can be anything?"
"Yes." Kei nodded. "As long as it is during the weekend, then it is fine." She didn't search for a part-time job after school, but just during the weekend since, as a middle school student, there was still a limitation to doing a part-time job.
"Are you fine with a flower shop?"
"Flower shop?" Kei looked at Ishigami in surprise and asked, "Do you know a flower shop that will hire me, Senpai?"
"Wait a moment. Let me check first." Ishigami took his smartphone and called his mother. As expected, it was connected instantly, and his mother asked him curiously, "What's wrong, Yuu-chan? Do you need more dishes for your dinner? Or, are you going to be late to go home?"
"...do you think I will call you just to eat?"
"Then, what is it? It is rare for you to call me except to tell me you are late or about dinner. Or... did you make Rei-chan pregnant?"
"...do you want to become a grandma so soon?"
"Well, your big brother is like that, after all. It would be great if you could give me a grandchild first."
"..."
How old was he?
Ishigami fell silent for a moment and asked, "Mom, do you need a worker in your shop?"
"Not really, but I can hire someone if I need to. Does your friend need a job?"
"My friend's little sister."
"...you are not cheating, right?"
"I am not."
Ishigami was no longer cheating, and he had a healthy harem relationship, after all.
"Okay, then. Just tell her to come in on the weekend morning. By the way, you are going to Yokohama this weekend, right?"
"Yes."
"I will help you prepare your luggage."
"Thank~! I will give you a lot of souvenirs later~!"
"I will be waiting for them~!
Ishigami talked with his mother for a while, then ended the call and turned to Kei. "Done. You can just visit the flower shop on the weekend morning."
"Ah!" Kei was surprised, then asked unsurely, "That's... flower shop is...?"
"It's owned by my mother."
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"Yes." Ishigami nodded and said, "I have talked with my mother about it, but if you don't want to, then—"
"I do! I want to!" Kei quickly agreed that if the flower shop was owned by Ishigami's mother, then there would be no need to worry about her safety, and her father and brother would agree immediately, as this place was guaranteed.
"Good." Ishigami nodded, then asked, "Can I get your contact information, then?"
"Sure." It was related to her job, so Kei didn't hesitate to give her contact and Line to Ishigami, but she had to say even though she knew he had a girlfriend, her heart was pounding, and her face blushed in a cute crimson color as she got his contact information.
Yet—
"Nee-chan, your boyfriend is seducing Kei-chan." Moeha was amazed and gave a thumbs up to Ishigami, her older sister's boyfriend, who could seduce Kei, who was known for being cold to all the guys in the school.
"....." Chika.
