I push the kid!

“It’s a bit of experience.”

"That's easier to handle." Teramoto Maki smiled with relief, "I thought Youxi just found a handsome guy to support the show."

"That's not the case."

"No, no," Teramoto Maki told him secretly, "I know her too well, she could really do this to you!"

"Maybe." Makimura Taku smiled bitterly, but what he was thinking in his heart was that this guy really did it.

It was past four in the afternoon and the store was still open. Maki Teramoto and Hideki Nishida were making coffee for the increasing number of customers, while Hanami Koizumi pulled Taku Makimura to a corner.

"Well, Sister Youxi said you can go back now."

"Now?" Makimura Taku looked at the time and it was still early, so he raised his eyes and asked her.

"Yes, yes." Koizumi Hanami felt a little nervous when he stared at her.

"what about you?"

"We won't be off work until later."

"Then I'll be late too."

"No." She shook her head vigorously. "Sister Youxi told you to go back and rest early, so just listen to her."

Seeing her eyes suddenly filled with some indescribable determination, Makimura Taku sighed and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"No, nothing." Koizumi Hanami lowered her head.

Before leaving, Maki Teramoto and Hideki Nishida waved goodbye to him. He nodded slightly, raised his hand to signal, and walked out of the store.

It was still light outside, the clouds were dyed golden by the sun, there were more pedestrians on the street than in the morning, there was no wind on the road, and dusk would probably not be seen until after five o'clock.

At five o'clock, Taku Makimura went to Kinokuniya Bookstore and bought a copy of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

After leaving the bookstore, he got on the bus at Shibuya Station, listening to music while looking at the scenery outside the opposite window.

After returning home, he made himself a simple dinner. After exercising at around nine o'clock, he went to the bathroom and took a shower.

There was an unread message on his phone, sent by Hoshino Ai. He clicked it to check:

"Mucun, are you free the day after tomorrow? Can you come out with me?"

Thank you all for your tips, monthly votes, and recommendation votes.

Chapter 24. Daily Contact Work

"What time exactly?"

After more than a minute, the message showed that it had been read: "Replied!!"

Line break: "You decide!!"

Taku Makimura leaned on the sofa and tapped the screen: "I'm working at a Starbucks on the street in Shibuya. Come find me when the time comes. I'll send you the location."

He also sent out the location.

The message immediately showed that it had been read. After more than thirty seconds, "Mucun, have you found a job?"

"found it."

"Wouldn't that mean every day would be busy?"

"It's been fine lately."

"I wanted you to come out with me."

"Where do you want to go?"

After more than a minute, he said: "No need, I can go find you." He then sent a picture of a well-behaved rabbit emoticon.

"Okay." Makimura Taku replied.

He was just about to put away his phone, read a book and go to bed when he received a message from Hoshino Ai.

"By the way." Hoshino Ai changed the topic and asked, "How is your job?"

"It's okay, I'm still in the learning stage."

"Oh~~ Can you make me some coffee then?"

"No problem, I'll treat you when you come."

"Thank you in advance then!"

"nothing."

"That's it. I'm going to bed."

"it is good."

Hoshino Ai sent him another emoticon of a rabbit waving its hand. Makimura Taku replied with "see you the day after tomorrow" and then turned off his phone screen.

He turned off the lights and returned to the bedroom. He flipped through the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine he had bought in the afternoon with the light of the desk lamp and fell asleep at ten o'clock.

The next day, April 2, Taku Makimura got up at 6:15, ran along the alley outside, took a quick shower, and walked to the bakery downstairs to buy breakfast.

"A fresh cream and egg sandwich, right?" the male boss took out the sandwich and put it in a bag. "Do you need anything else?"

"No, thank you." said Taku Makimura.

Back home, Taku Makimura took out the strawberry milk from the refrigerator and heated it up. He was eating breakfast and watching the morning news when someone called him.

"Hey."

"I'm Makimura."

"I know you are Makimura," Ogura Yuki smacked his lips, "Why are you up so early?"

"got used to."

"Did you guess that I was going to call you?"

"Then I have to get some more sleep."

"How was your adjustment yesterday?" she asked. "Was it a bit hard?"

"It's not hard," Taku Makimura answered honestly, "I just feel like I still need to learn more. There are too many details."

"If all else fails, just become a poster girl. Wear a suit and hand out flyers. It's very simple. If you don't like it, you can wear a maid outfit."

"Maid outfit?"

"By the way, my family also has a maid cafe in Shinjuku, do you want to go?"

"How rich is your family?"

"It's no problem to support you."

"I'll hang up if nothing else."

"Wait!" she said quickly.

"What's wrong again?" asked Makimura Taku.

"And one more thing."

"What."

"Idiot." After saying that, she hung up the phone.

At around 8:20, Taku Makimura took out the garbage from his home and threw it away, then swiped his card at the station and got on the tram.

The view outside the car window was no different from yesterday evening, except that the sky was a little bluer and the clouds were clearer.

He got off at Shibuya Station, listening to all kinds of conversations, footsteps, and the melodious songs of birds in the sky. At about 8:50, he walked to the Starbucks store where he worked.

Koizumi Hanami was sorting things at the counter. As soon as he entered the store, Koizumi Hanami raised her head as if by reflex and said welcome.

"Good morning." Makimura Taku raised his hand to greet.

"Mr. Makimura, good morning." She continued to pack things as if she was relieved, not knowing what she was packing.

Makimura Taku walked over and asked, "Are you alone?"

"No, um, Nishida-kun is in the bathroom." She explained in a low voice.

"Where's Ms. Teramoto?"

"she……"

"Good morning~" Someone pushed the door open and they both looked over at the same time. It was Maki Teramoto.

She had her hair tied in a ponytail, with the bangs on both sides covering her temples and hanging down to her jaw.

He wore a white long-sleeved top and tight blue jeans, and no hat, but he looked like a senior high school student from a private school.

"Good morning, Maki-nee."

"Good morning." She waved her hand and walked over to greet Takuya Makimura, "Good morning, Makimura-kun."

"Good morning." Taku Makimura replied.

After that, Hideki Nishida came out of the restroom and the store opened at just after nine o'clock.

Koizumi Hanami diligently makes hand-brewed coffee, while Nishida Hideki is busy collecting customers' order information and helping with miscellaneous tasks.

Maki Teramoto acted like a temporary store manager, slowly and leisurely explaining each step of the coffee-making process to Taku Makimura.

"By the way," she put a label on the cup of freshly made coffee, "In addition to coffee, there are some desserts to make."

"Dessert?" asked Taku Makimura in confusion.

"But it's okay if you don't want to learn. Youxi told me that it would be best for you to be a poster girl."

"Forget about that."

Teramoto Maki smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. Just learn how to make coffee."

"Ok."

At twelve o'clock, someone came to take over the shift, two women and two men. They worked until six in the afternoon. After that, it was Taku Makimura's shift of four who worked until nine in the evening. They rotated shifts every day. Taku Makimura only found out about this now.

"Let's go out for dinner together?" After handing over the shift, Maki Teramoto asked Taku Makimura.
