Chapter 519: Just a formality
Note: This chapter is two chapters in one
"Miracle, miracle, miracle drink shop, miracle tavern..."
Standing in front of the glittering sign, Jiujiu Yuki said with emotion, "Glass and I both like several of the cocktails produced by this store. We often go to the store to have a drink after get off work. I didn't expect that it was a chain brand opened by your parents."
"Why didn't we discover it a few years ago?"
"What did you discover a few years ago..." I asked curiously, "Did you discover that this was my family's store? But Miss Jiujiu, we didn't even know each other at that time."
"Oh, hahaha..." Kujuyuki seemed to be brought back from her distraction by what I said. She waved her hands and said with a laugh, "That's right."
"The glass you mentioned, is it Ieiri Glass?" I asked with shining eyes, "Will she come over later?"
There are very few scenes involving her in Jujutsu Kaisen. Every time she appears, she is either healing the wounded or dealing with the dead. But for some reason, that gloomy and dejected look with a hint of smoke is super attractive.
I don't know how similar the prototype is to the anime.
"Oh, her." Disappointingly, Kujuku Yuki scratched his hair and recalled, "Glass said she had something to do in the afternoon, so she didn't come."
“Ah, that’s how it is.”
"Don't be like that." She pushed my shoulder and said with a smile, "Didn't I also help you a lot by introducing a lot of trustworthy employees to you?"
"Why haven't I seen you be so enthusiastic towards me?"
I:"........"
My enthusiasm disappeared the moment you asked me what kind of man I liked most as soon as we met.
In addition, regarding the matter of Yuki Kujuku introducing trustworthy employees.
Well...trust can be absolute.
It’s just that, at first, when she said she had an idea, I thought she knew how to handle the job ad or the interview process, but I never expected that she would just find a whole group of people.
Counting from left to right, there were thirteen, no, twelve people, and one of them was a panda.
Not to mention that Kujuku Yuki had such a wide network of contacts and such a high reputation, just by making a phone call, all the students in the Jujutsu High School showed up within twenty minutes.
However, the four people in the distance, the big guy in the middle is wearing sunglasses and has a crew cut. He looks very fierce and not easy to mess with. He should be Principal Ye Moth, right? !
And the boy next door with obvious mixed-race features but a slightly haggard look, the blond handsome guy with bangs and a baby face, is definitely Nanami Kento and Haibara Yuu!
There was also a corporate slave with a less obvious presence standing aside, emitting a weak aura. Judging from the weathered look on his face, it should be Ijichi Jie Gao.
"Nice to meet you. Hello, my name is Nanami Kento."
Nanami Kento introduced me in a serious manner: "This is the principal of our school, Yaga Masamichi. This is my colleague, Huihara Yu, who is also the second-year homeroom teacher. And this is the assistant supervisor, Ichichi Kitaka."
"Here are our business cards and contact information, please keep them."
"Hello, hahaha, hello." I took the business card with both hands in the most correct manner and responded very politely, "Welcome to Miracle Drinks with your students."
What a strange meeting scene!
"During the holidays, the principal of Jujutsu High School brought all the teachers and students to a certain coffee shop to work part-time to experience life" - I feel like this can already be written into a news headline...
"Nice to meet you, Lily." Several students in front of me suddenly bowed to me and shouted in unison, "We are the students who want to work in your store."
I observed each person inconspicuously.
The three on the left.
The pink-haired boy has round eyes and looks very strong. His two pointed little fangs are exposed, making him look cheerful and lively. At first glance, he is the protagonist of the comic, Yuji Itadori.
The girl in the middle is wearing a modified short skirt with a pink heart hairpin on her side bangs, and a few small braids on her neat short hair. It is obvious that her makeup and earrings are carefully done, and her eyes are shining like stars. Although she doesn't match the one in the comics, she should be Nobara Kugisaki.
As for the one on the right...well, his hair is like a sea urchin with its hair blown up, and his mouth is flat and he is not saying anything. He looks a little happy but also seems to be not satisfied with something. That should be Fushiguro Megumi.
Wow, he really looks like Fushiguro Shinobu!
When I thought about how outside the comics, Shigekiro Fushiguro actually put his heart and soul into raising his son and daughter to adulthood, I actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Coming to the middle, the tall man who looks extremely strong and muscular and the slender boy wearing women's clothes next to him, should they be Hyō Kinji and Hoshi Kirara?
The one on the right with green hair in a high ponytail, holding a spear, looking up at me, should be Zenin Maki.
The white-haired Yuuta Okkotsu looks a little different from the one in the comics. It seems that... he seems quite cheerful, not as bitter and vengeful as in the comics.
As for the tall, white, chubby one with cute dark circles under its eyes, it must be a panda. It is really furry and super cute! But it is totally unnecessary for it to speak...
"Hello, Lily!" After introducing themselves, they suddenly bowed in unison as if they had agreed to do so, and said to me loudly, "We are all here to apply for a part-time job in your store. Please give us your guidance!"
One by one, their looks are far above the baseline. They look full of energy and energy, as if they can't wait to plow a field of two miles.
However, they were all wearing dark black school uniforms and turned around in a row, looking very imposing. At first glance, they looked like they had just walked out of the underworld.
Even the passers-by who passed by us looked sharp, with surprise and weirdness coexisting in their eyes.
"Look, look, it looks like someone is filming a yakuza idol movie over there!"
"I feel like some of the characters in it look familiar... Are they a bit like some of the characters in the popular comics this year..."
"There's no camera at all. Why do I feel like this is real? Aren't they bowing to the boss over there?"
"Who's the boss?"
"It looks like that big sister over there... hurry up, she's looking over here!"
I:"........"
In short, during the short five minutes of polite greetings, such speculations were heard endlessly.
This is not a job fair at all, it's a large-scale team-building event for the Jujutsu High School. Kujuku Yuki must have moved the entire school here!
"Then let's arrange our respective work content." Principal Yega nodded maturely, his bearded face full of contentment about "letting students who should have been learning spells work in a beverage store."
I always feel like something is wrong.
"Let me check. The general coffee shop opening hours are 7am, with a two-hour break at noon, and then it closes at around 10pm."
"That day will probably require two shifts. There are nine people in total who can take turns to work."
"Then Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will be assigned to the first and third years, and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays will be assigned to the second years, Nanami and Haibara. As for the weekends, I see... Satoru and Jie like to slack off so much that sometimes they won't come to meetings when you ask them to. So, let them just work here all day on the weekends."
"Wait...wait a minute, Principal Ye Moth." I was caught off guard by the clear arrangements all of a sudden. I quickly waved my hands and said, "This is just a trial operation. There is no need to open the store so early!"
"Besides, I'm just a college student. I only come here on weekends and evenings..." Being stared at by him, I became even more nervous. I rubbed the back of my hand and whispered, "And they are just students too. Don't they still have to go to class?"
"College student." When Principal Ye Moth heard what I said, his attention immediately shifted to the wrong place. He asked, "Which school are you from?"
"Keio."
"Qingying." When he heard this, his eyes stretched out and looked far away, as if he was saying with great emotion, "After so many years as a teacher, I still haven't taught a student who can go to Qingying."
.......What's the matter with this kind of inexplicable inferiority and emotion? Although you haven't taught a few students to go to college, but when they come out, one by one, each of them can beat a group of Keio college students!
Well, a physical beating.
"I think you can just come to work at 2pm and close the store at 9pm." I blinked and ignored his words, and continued to change the subject, "You will also get meal allowances."
"Well, you can do whatever you want."
"What about salary?" I continued, "What is your students' expected salary?"
The current market price seems to be around 1100 per hour, so should we increase it a little bit more on this basis......
"My hourly wage for part-time work is about 1,500 yuan. Is that okay with you?" I asked quietly. "If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again."
"What did you say?" Principal Ye Moth frowned, his face immediately darkened, and he said in disagreement, "Hourly wages or something, of course not."
"Yes, yes..." I quickly added, "Then add--"
"As long as it's free, of course."
"Add--ah?" Before I could even utter a word, he ruthlessly blocked my answer, leaving only the two big words "free" echoing in my mind.
Free? Who? I am free? Or they are free.
"How can it be free?" I looked even more shocked than the people who were told they were working for free. I almost jumped up and shouted, "I'm not the kind of person who would deduct wages and exploit employees. I will definitely be hacked to pieces after I die!"
"Even if you are their teacher, it is too much to let students work for free!" I said, "How can you do that!"
Principal Night Moth: ".......They took the initiative to make this request."
"Take the initiative...Take the initiative...huh?" In just a few seconds, my brain crashed several times. I turned around and looked at them in confusion, and asked in surprise, "Why did you take the initiative to ask to work for free?"
"Emmm..." This was a question that could be answered immediately, but they pondered over it for a long time, as if they were students who had not memorized the lesson and were about to start cramming. The group of people stammered and put together an answer on the spot.
“Well… Actually, we listened to what Senior Ninety-Nine said and wanted to experience life, so we came here to work.
"But, all we did before was fighting and killing people and exorcising cursed spirits. Except for Hui who worked in a sushi restaurant before, our experience is completely negative."
Yuta Okkotsu, who was pushed out, stood in front of everyone, grasping his hair sheepishly, smiled at me shyly, and said, "We're worried that if we ask for too high a salary by mistake, you'll be unwilling to hire us."
"And since no one was short of money anyway, I just told Principal Ye Moth this."
Me: “.........” Wow, they are not short of money and are here to work for free. Moreover, a group of sorcerers with great looks and fighting skills volunteered to come here.
I'm now beginning to wonder if I accidentally saved the universe in my previous life... However, when Kujuyuki made this suggestion, I actually had no intention of accepting it.
After all, asking a sorcerer to serve tea and water is a waste of his talent.
But I didn't expect that they would act so quickly. Before I could stop them, they had already arrived.
Looking at a group of students who were like my younger brothers and sisters looking at me with expectant eyes, as if working here was their lifelong wish, even someone as hard-hearted as me couldn't help but be seriously shaken.
"Then...you guys just try it here first?" I hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Try it for a week first."
"However, although you said that you don't need a salary, I absolutely cannot not pay it, so let's just keep it as we agreed, fifteen thousand an hour."
“Great!” Nobara Kugisaki was the first to jump up. She first high-fived Itadori Yuji and then shouted, “I’m able to stay and work here with Lily-sister. What a success!”
An hour later, they actually started to clean the store in an orderly manner. Looking at their energetic appearance, it felt like they were not working but playing in an amusement park.
But when I looked at their backs, I still felt that something was wrong.
Wait...At the beginning, I seemed to just say that I wanted to find a few applicants to interview first.
How come in the blink of an eye, all the processes have been clearly understood!
