In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Kitagawa Kaimu glanced at Miura Yumiko, who was still singing, and continued typing:

"It was a private commission of mine, and there was no specific hourly rate."

"Hmm~, how about 10,000 yen a day?"

Upon seeing the previous sentence, Yoshikage Kira immediately wanted to refuse. Was the lack of a specific hourly wage a sign that he was being offered a free meal?

But upon seeing the next sentence, Yoshikage Kira deleted the words of refusal:

"Time and place."

"The time is 7 a.m. tomorrow. Hmm, is it okay if we meet at Kira-kun's apartment? By the way, what is Kira-kun's address?"

"No. 117, Duwang Street, Datian District, 502."

"So, what are the job responsibilities?"

Yoshikage Kira didn't hide it, partly because he wanted to make money, and partly because hiding it wouldn't be realistic.

Because he lived in a student dormitory, and student dormitories are always in clusters.

In other words, all the students of Shuchiin Academy live nearby, and some of his classmates even live in this apartment building.

Even if he doesn't say it, Kitagawa Kaimu has a way of finding out.

"Get!"

Kitagawa Kaimu inwardly cheered, secretly clenched her fist, and continued typing:

"As for work, Kira-kun, do you know anything about anime conventions?"

"Tokyo Anime & Comic Con?"

"Hey~, Kira-kun, you know? That's right, Kira-kun's job is to accompany me to comic conventions. How about that, pretty easy, right?"

Yoshikage Kira seemed to realize something; Japanese otaku culture is highly developed, with three large anime conventions held in Tokyo every year.

Comic Maket, held twice a year, is abbreviated as CM, and AnimeJapan, held annually in Tokyo, is abbreviated as AJ.

The former has a history of over 40 years, usually held twice a year, in summer and winter, each lasting three days, and has been held a total of 93 times to date. Therefore, to distinguish it, it is usually referred to as C+ number.

比如去年举办的就是C92和C93，今年即将在8月举办的是C94，在12月举办的是C95。

The latter, the Tokyo Anime & Comic Con, is officially known as the Tokyo International Anime Fair.

This is a professional anime exhibition jointly organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Japan Animation Association, and the Tokyo International Anime Fair Executive Committee, with the aim of promoting and exchanging ideas about Japan's thriving anime culture industry.

In theory, this exhibition is specifically for professionals.

And that is indeed the case.

The Tokyo Anime & Comic Con lasts for four days. The first two days are for corporate exhibitors and are open to professional visitors only.

The last two days are open to the general public and all enthusiasts.

The Tokyo Anime & Comic Convention was originally scheduled for the end of March, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, it was postponed by two weeks and will be held from April 6-9.

Although the anime convention lasts for four days, Kitagawa Umi is a student, so she can only go on the weekend. Tomorrow, April 8th, is a Sunday and also part of the Tokyo Anime Convention, which will be open to all anime fans.

Kaimu Kitagawa emphasized:

"It's 7 a.m., Kira-kun, you must get up on time!"

"no problem."

Yoshikage Kira's reply was equally swift.

He goes to bed before 11 p.m. every night and gets up at 7 a.m. every morning, ensuring 8 hours of sleep. He does this without fail unless he has other ways to release stress.

Anyway, he's recently lost his job, and his schedule for tomorrow is to look for work.

But now that there are temporary jobs available, why not take them?

Besides, how tiring can attending a comic convention be? You might as well take the 10,000 yen.

After finishing her song, Yumiko Miura picked up a piece of apple from the fruit plate, took a bite, then sat down next to her friend and curiously leaned over to ask:

"Hai Meng, who are you texting?"

A mischievous glint flashed in Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes as she smiled and said:

"It's Kira-kun. I sent him the video of you singing."

"Huh?"

Yumiko Miura suddenly tensed up, and the apple in her hand fell onto her skirt.

"What did he say?"

"Yumiko".

Kitagawa Kaimu put on a regretful look and asked, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"

"Hmm~"

Miura Yumiko grew increasingly flustered, "The truth..."

Kitagawa Kaimu smiled slyly:

"The truth is, he said it sounded very nice."

"Huh? Huh?"

Yumiko Miura, who was initially filled with anxiety as if she were awaiting judgment, blinked.

It's true!

Kitagawa Kaimu grinned and showed the chat history to Miura Yumiko, scrolling to the top:

"Kira-kun, is it nice to listen to?"

"It sounds nice, but I'm not going."

Yumiko Miura felt a secret delight, but she suppressed it on her face, pretending not to care, and asked:

"What else did you talk about with him?"

Kitagawa Kaimu looked away and said casually:

"It's nothing, I just invited him to the party, didn't you see?"

Miura Yumiko's expression became somewhat complicated as she softly said:

"He won't come."

"Ok?"

Kitagawa Kaimu keenly sensed that there was a story behind it.

Miura Yumiko's tone was complex:

"He never went to any of the class gatherings during junior high school, not even the graduation trip..."

Chapter 14 There is only one disease in people

early morning.

Yoshikage Kira got up promptly at 7:30.

Eight hours of sleep allows him to wake up like a baby, without fatigue or stress, and greet the next morning.

After a quick wash, he patiently waited for Kitagawa Kaimu to arrive.

Yoshikage Kira still values ​​employers who are willing to pay him 10,000 yen to work for them.

There is no other reason.

poor.

Although Yoshikage Kira is still a student, the pressure of studying in Tokyo is considerable.

For example, the student apartment he currently lives in costs 6 yen per month, and that's with a subsidy. Otherwise, to rent an apartment like this in Ota Ward, the monthly rent would be at least 7 yen or more.

In Tokyo, rent in Ota Ward is considered relatively low. In bustling areas like Minato Ward or Chiyoda Ward, even a small one-bedroom apartment would cost at least 12 yen per month.

This is just the rent; utilities are extra.

You even have to pay a deposit and a "key money" fee, and the first month's rent will cost almost half a year's rent.

Having a house only solves the housing problem, which is just one aspect of the basic necessities of life.

Clothes are easy to find; just wear the school uniform provided by the school.

While you can buy a monthly subway pass for transportation, the price isn't exactly cheap.

The money saved on rent will eventually have to be made up for on the subway.

The remaining food was even more substantial.

If you just want to have something to eat at every meal, a cheap BBQ set meal costs only 400 yen, but unfortunately it's not enough to fill you up.

The cheap bento boxes sold in Japanese supermarkets are usually very small in portion size. Even an average girl might not be able to get full, let alone an adult. An average adult would need to eat at least three or four boxes to feel half full.

A proper bowl of ramen costs 800 yen.

The price is the same in the school cafeteria; it's not much cheaper.

Including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the basic monthly expenses exceed 20 yen.

Even though Yoshikage Kira works hard, often working more than 54 hours a week with a workload exceeding that of most corporate workers, he can only earn the minimum wage, resulting in a monthly salary of only 20.9 yen.

In theory, Yoshikage Kira could just make ends meet, but he still had to pay tuition.

Shuchiin Academy is known for its excellent educational facilities as a prestigious private school, but its tuition fees are also notoriously high.

Including tuition, facility maintenance, and entrance fees, the first year's tuition alone exceeded 150 million yen. Although the entrance fee is waived from the second year onwards, and the tuition is reduced to 120 million yen, it is still an astronomical figure.

Originally, Yoshikage Kira could have chosen to attend a public school or a slightly cheaper private school, but because the school he was supposed to attend was destroyed by the Anti-Intellectual Church, his student status was transferred to Tokyo, and he was forced to attend Shuchiin Academy.

Although the Japanese government also has a special 'high school education assistance fund' to subsidize students from poor families, for example, Kirakichi can receive a subsidy of about 40 yen per year.

Even so, Yoshikage Kira still had to pay a tuition fee of 80 yen.

For ordinary students, enrolling in Shuchiin Academy would be an absolute elation for them and their parents, because it means they have the opportunity to transcend social classes—even if it means being a lackey for the upper class, they are still upper-class lackeys, naturally superior to others.

Therefore, no matter how much money they have to spend, their parents will do everything they can to ensure that they can study without worry.
