The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten

Chapter 241: Matter on the way

Amane left Chitose and Mahiru, and went along with Kido.

It seemed he would have to take a train to the workplace, but it was a lot closer than Itsuki and Chitoses place, and he should have no problems commuting there.

The problem was whether he would be hiredso he asked Kido, dont worry, who smiled back.

Aunts shop doesnt have a lot of people there. There has been more customers there recently, and theyre lacking manpower. Theyre hiring polite people, and theyll be more than happy to have your request. You dont have to worry about that.

I dont know if I can be considered polite though.

Amane would never intentionally offend anyone, but his courtesy remained in doubt. He felt he knew some basic etiquette, but he dared not say that it would suffice.

Youre able to show the appropriate attitudes to different people though. Youre very polite to the teachers, and you act like an honor student.

Well, theyre our eldersI rather receive care from them than have their eyes on me. Its better to leave a good impression on the teachers.

Of course, Amane would treat the elderly or his superiors with respect, but he had some indecent motives too, that a good impression from the teachers would grant him benefits in his grades and his future graduation. It did not encompass everything, but it was part of his thought process. He was not exactly a model student.

Even he found himself a little indecent to actually think about these things. He shrugged, and Kido giggled.

But thats good, isnt it? The important thing is to be polite and courteous, act according to time, place and occasion, and respect others. Whether you have the motives, the only thing that can be seen is the outcome.

Youre that kind of person, Kido?

Didnt think so? Im actually capable of acting based on the situation. Im not going to seek the benefits in everything, but Ill do so in certain areas, but thats to be expected. I cant just always act on goodwill.

Kido made it sound easy, but the thought process was serious by itself. Amanes eyes widened, partly not out of malice or disdain, but more of a kindred spirit.

Its the same this time. Im suggesting this because it benefits me too. Its not completely out of goodwill.

One could see how kind Kido was from how she could easily say this. With a slightly wry smile, whats the benefit this time, Amane asked,

UuuI want Socchan to have more friends.

Kayano?

Yeah. Actually, hes very honest, always spacing out, and doesnt have much interest in anything else, but he does have a good impression on you, and he probably gets along well with a calm person like you. Thats what I thought, and since youre looking for part-time work, I introduced my aunts shop to you to solve the manpower issues, and also because Socchans working there.

Sorry, but it really helps me out a lot here, Kido apologized, sounding rather despondent. Amane shook his head, and smiled.

Dont worry. Im a little shocked to know now that Kayanos working there, but youre introducing work for me. Im more relieved that a schoolmates there.

Really? Thank goodness.

Kidos tension was immediately gone, and Amane firmly believed then that Kido was still a good person.

That aside, your boyfriends working at your aunts, but youre not working there?

Ugh, well, my aunt likes me, and she loves it when Socchan and I are togethershes giving us happy looks whenever were together, and we cant get work done. She really doted on us since young. Also, whenever Socchans next to me, Ill look at him, and hell go all, stop, your drools coming out.

Pfft.

Yo-youre laughing? I know the time and place. Im not going to drool in front of anyone else.

Kido raised her eyebrows, her face somewhat blushing, but all the vigor was gone from her words, and Amane wanted to burst out laughing. He decided not to play pretense, and deliberately let it out.
