Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

If you don't want to eat these, there's actually a bakery next door.

But bread alone was far from enough to fill Kamishiro Shiro's stomach.

With a pained expression, Shiro Kaede finally chose a large bowl of tonkotsu udon, which cost him 650 yen.

Chapter 10: Brainstorming!

2024-07-14

Under normal circumstances, high school students in Japan are allowed to work part-time.

However, Japan's labor law stipulates working hours and types of work for minors to ensure their health and educational rights.

Work hours restrictions: High school students under the age of 18 are limited to working no more than 5 hours per day and no more than 30 hours per week during their school years.

夜间工作限制：未满18岁的高中生在学期间不得在晚上10点至早上5点之间工作，寒暑假期间不得在晚上10点至早上4点之间工作。

Job restrictions: High school students are prohibited from engaging in certain dangerous or harmful jobs.

School approval: High school students need the school's approval to start working. The school may require them to provide relevant information about the work and ensure that the work does not affect their studies.

In order to earn money through part-time work, Shiro Shiro also needs to obtain an application form from the school.

12:00 - 1:30 is the break time for students and teachers.

After eating and drinking his fill, Shiro Kaede didn't rush back to the classroom. Instead, he went to the teachers' office to find his homeroom teacher, Matsueda Asami.

Knock knock knock~

After knocking on the door, Bai Feng pushed it open and entered.

A lot of eyes were focused on him.

Inside, most of the teachers were sitting at their desks, and many students were helping them with various tasks.

The boy, who originally thought he was somewhat handsome, couldn't help but think that this person was really handsome the moment he saw Shiro Kaede appear.

Many female teachers' eyes lit up when they saw Bai Feng, and they glanced at him a few more times, wondering which class he was in.

Shiro Shiro looked around the teachers' office and quickly spotted his homeroom teacher, Matsueda Asami, sitting in the far corner.

He noticed that she was still eating lunch alone, seemingly unaware of him.

He stepped forward and slowly walked to Matsueda Mami's position.

The petite and adorable Matsueda Mami was seen eating a Big Mac while wearing headphones and watching a horror video on her phone screen.

Inside, grotesque and gory scenes similar to those in "Wrong Turn" were playing.

As soon as he arrived, he witnessed a scene of heartfelt confession.

Shiro Shiro was slightly stunned after seeing this. This Matsuzakura Asami looked so small, but she had quite the taste for the unusual.

Matsueda Asami was seen watching a gory horror movie with great interest, even occasionally mocking the characters for being stupid, which was caught on camera.

"Matsueda-sensei," he greeted, trying to get Matsueda Mami's attention.

Matsueda Asami, wearing headphones, didn't hear Bai Feng's words at all. She was still sitting in the chair, swinging her short legs in black stockings, eating a large hamburger and watching the horror movie with a happy expression.

With class time fast approaching, Shiro Kaede knew he didn't have time to waste.

Moreover, he had things to do after school in the afternoon and didn't plan to come again.

So he took the initiative to pat Matsueda Mami on the shoulder.

Feeling her shoulder being touched, Matsueda Asami assumed it was another colleague looking for her and slowly turned to look at the person who approached.

"Ah!!!" When she saw that it was Shiro Kaede, she was startled as if she had seen a ghost, and almost dropped the hamburger in her hand.

Matsueda Asami immediately took off her headphones, covered her phone screen with her hand, and looked at Bai Feng with some panic: "Kamishiro-kun, what are you doing here?"

"Am I scarier than horror movies?" Kamishiro Hakufu couldn't help but complain.

Matsueda Asami blushed slightly and coughed, "It's not like that, actually it's just... wait, why did you come to find me?"

"Nothing much, I just want to work and came to get a work application form."

"Hey, you're going to work too?" Matsueda Asami frowned deeply. "Applying on the first day of school? Are you really short on money? Are you sure your studies won't be affected by this job?"

"It's in short supply, but I'm confident it won't interfere with my studies." Shiro Shiro nodded.

"Yes, you can, but you need to ask your guardian for the form." Matsueda Mami knew that the school allowed students to work, so she didn't stop them from applying for jobs. However, in order to protect the students, she would still ask their parents and visit their workplaces.

"My guardian's phone number is..."

Before Bai Feng could speak, Matsueda Mami interrupted him, tapping her phone screen as she explained, "No need, I know your guardian."

Shiro Shiro was a little stunned, then suddenly remembered that his aunt had mentioned that she knew some teachers at the school that morning.

But she never expected that the teacher she knew would be her homeroom teacher.

Matsueda Asami scrolled through her contacts and quickly found the contact named 'Useless Woman', then tapped it with her thumb.

The interface for making a phone call appears.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Ayaka?"

"Asami-chan, what's wrong?"

"Don't call me Asami-chan, I'm older than you!"

"Oh, Asami-chan, what's wrong?"

"You useless woman, enough already! I'm too lazy to even talk to you anymore. Your Shinobu Shiro wants to work, so I'm here to ask for your opinion."

"Eh!!! He wants to work? Didn't I just give him 50,000 yen this morning?"

"Hey!!! You gave him so much money?"

"Could it be that he was threatened by other students and all his money was taken away, so he ran off to work alone to avoid burdening me? Waaah~ How could this happen?"

"Your imagination is as vivid as ever."

"Waaaaah~ Is he near you right now? Give him the phone, I want to ask him if he's been bullied."

Matsueda Mami turned to look at Bai Feng, somewhat worried that he had been bullied, but she didn't say anything, and simply handed him her phone.

Shiro Shiro also overheard their conversation. The moment he took the phone, he heard his aunt crying out.

"Waaaaah~ Bai Feng, were you bullied? Tell your auntie right away!"

"No. Don't overthink it. I'm already being nice by not bullying anyone."

"Waaaah~ Why did you suddenly decide to work? Didn't I give you 50,000 yen?"

"."

"Waaaah~ Why did you suddenly stop talking? So you must have gotten more and more handsome after working out, then got bullied and threatened by pretty girls, and ended up losing everything, right?"

Bai Feng looked helpless and could only make up an excuse: "Don't imagine it to be so amazing. I just thought that you are so busy with work, so I thought I would find a restaurant to learn some cooking skills and then take over the cooking at home."

"Oh, I see! Waaah~ Auntie, I'm so touched. Although I love cooking... cough cough, if Bai Feng is willing, then I can let you cook."

"."

"Why are you silent? Waaah~ I'm sorry, Auntie, I lied to you. Actually, I don't know how to cook and I don't like to cook at all. Erina is just like me, we don't know how to cook at all, so it would be great if you could help us."

"OK, then I'll talk to Professor Matsueda."

"Hehe~ Actually, you can just call her Asami-chan, she won't get angry."

Matsueda Asami snatched the phone and angrily said, "You useless woman, I heard everything!"

Chapter 11 Junko Urahara's Boss-like Sitting Posture!

2024-07-14

Matsueda Asami was about to say something, but then she discovered that Sato Ayaka had already turned off communication, which made her grit her teeth and stomp her feet in anger.

"Matsueda-sensei, so is it okay now?" Shirakaze asked.

Matsueda Mami looked up at Bai Feng, then decided not to object further.

She also knew about the woman's terrible cooking skills and felt very sorry for Bai Feng.

I also understand why he wanted to go to a restaurant to learn some cooking skills.

Rather, she thought Bai Feng was quite good and a student with ideas.

After all, there aren't many students this age who help their families with housework, especially those who want to go out and learn cooking skills for their families.

Moreover, learning to cook is a great idea; it adds a skill to your repertoire.

Matsueda Asami nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She rummaged through the messy table and found the job application form, handing it to Bai Feng.

Although there were some food stains on it, Bai Feng didn't pay much attention and just started filling it out.

After filling it out, I handed it directly to Matsueda Asami to add a teacher's signature and phone number.

"Alright, now you just need to hand this over to your workplace." Matsueda Asami returned it to him, and thoughtfully added, "But remember that you can't work more than 30 hours a week, and you also need to take care of your studies. If your grades drop, I'll cancel your work permit."

After giving a brief reply, Shiro Kaede bid farewell to Matsueda Asami and left the teachers' office.

By the time we got back to the classroom, lunch break was almost over.

Many students were still resting and sleeping quietly.

He sat back down and noticed that Mizuno Maki, who was in front of him, was already fast asleep, slumped over the table.

Chitanda Mirai sat quietly in her wheelchair, her head bowed as she intently looked at the literary book in her hands, her slender fingers gently turning the pages.

The ponytail fell gently, forming a soft arc, revealing the somewhat sickly pale skin on the back of the neck.

Her eyes, like clear lake water, were deep and full of wisdom, as she quietly immersed herself in the world of the book.

Junko Urahara, standing to the side, crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest—a sleeping posture usually reserved for powerful figures.

When she realized that Shiro Shiro had returned, she immediately opened her eyes and glanced back at him.

Although she didn't say anything, Bai Feng could still see the wary look in her eyes.
