Starting a Night Shift Part-time Job at a Convenience Store-Chapter 7.5: Cat Phantom V
“Hey,
i
Hakamada.” Translator: MadHatter
“Thanks
i
for
i
your
i
hard
i
work.” wfyyg
“So it’s time
i
for the shift
i
change huh. By
i
the
i
way, Hakamada, you arrived early
i
today.”
“Oh,
i
yes, well, a little
i
bit.” Not shared on aggregator websites
After
i
entering the store, I exchanged familiar greetings and bowed
i
as I entered the back room, where I
i
was met by Nagase, who glanced at his
i
watch.
“It had
i
been a while since my friends and I had gotten together but I figured if I stayed
i
too long, I might get
i
really drunk.”
“Haha, so you left
i
early.”
“Something
i
like
i
that.” fwegaqa
I didn’t
i
want to be the victim
i
on that road’s curve.dwf
“Right, if you disappear, Hakamada, we
i
will have fewer people to work the night
i
shift.”
This barcode
i
manager was a bad
i
omen. As if what
i
he said was on point, Nagase started to laugh
i
too. Ugh… even
i
Nagase.
With their laughter behind me, I went to the back
i
room and changed into my
i
uniform.feo
Speaking
i
of which, Takenaka was supposed to be here
i
but I hadn’t spotted
i
him yet
i
today. I
i
thought he
i
might be rearranging the shelves again, so
i
I peeked out from
i
the back room and
i
checked around the store, only to find no one who looked
i
like Takenaka.
Oh, well…Not shared on lightnovelreader.me
“Takenaka
i
is
i
coming, isn’t
i
he?”fwerg
“Yeah, he’s
i
coming. I mean, he’s
i
here.”43he4
When I asked the manager about it, he responded
i
with a meaningful
i
phrase.
“Takenaka is in
i
the toilet.”
“Oh.” Not shared on aggregator websites
He
i
was cleaning the
i
toilet huh.
“He’s
i
throwing
i
up, though.”fcewgv
“…What!?”fvtweguybvv
Why!?bvyefwgyuv
At
i
the same time I said that, Nagase suddenly burst out
i
laughing excitedly without any warning. It astonished me
i
and a few other customers who had accumulated in the store.
“Hyahahahahahaha! Hahahaha! Ahahahahaha!”fev
“Nagase…?!” Translator: MadHatter
No good, Nagase was twisting his stomach
i
while laughing as though he were on fire. What
i
specifically transpired for him to be amused in this
i
way?
“Buhahahaha! Hahahahi, ihihihihi!!”
Although the
i
manager rubbed Nagase’s back and tried
i
to calm him down, he kept
i
laughing in an eerie manner, so much
i
so that one of the customers fled to the
i
exit.
“Nagase, it’s time to
i
settle down, you’re leading the customers
i
away…!”
“Ugh, uhi, phew… e-excuse
i
buhaha!!”
Wow, Nagase
i
was even more destructive than
i
those guys who
i
had an inseparable relationship with me
i
when it came to pressure points.
I
i
mean, Takenaka throwing up in the toilet… what did
i
that mean?efwv
“Um…
i
manager.”Not shared on aggregator websites
“Ah, actually, you
i
see.”fcwebgvr
When I
i
asked him about it, this was
i
what happened.
“In other
i
words, Takenaka got grossed out when he saw the
i
carcass of a cat that
i
had been
i
run over on
i
the road.”
He was apparently puking
i
in the toilet of the convenience store
i
where he worked.
For
i
real?fewgrvh
No, no, no, we were
i
talking about that Takenaka.
That
i
same
i
Takenaka.tyfersh
The
i
Takenaka that was the guardian deity of this convenience store.
He drove away the
i
malevolent spirits that flocked
i
to the convenience store and single-handedly
i
attempted to protect the newcomers who swept in here time and time
i
again.
We were talking
i
about Takenaka, with his stern
i
guardian spirit in armor
i
and helmet, you know. Such a cool, adversary-free, and seamless (in my image) Takenaka was… at the
i
mere sight of a cat carcass…
As I was mulling this
i
over, the door to the toilet in the back of the store
i
opened. Takenaka
i
staggered out of the door, his body swaying.
“Hakamada, hi… Good
i
evening.”
Takenaka’s white
i
face turned pallid immediately after meeting
i
me and greeted me. He was
i
evidently out of his element. Never before had I seen Takenaka looking so
i
vulnerable.
“A-Are you alright?”grhnjt
When I inadvertently rushed
i
to him and said so, Takenaka showed me a look that
i
said, “About what?”
“Oh, you see. The manager told me
i
that you were in the back. He
i
said that you got sick at
i
the sight of the cat carcass on
i
the road, but Takenaka, you would never…”
…do that
, I added
i
with a wry smile and at the moment I did so, Takenaka’s face
i
tightened up.
“Ugh!!”grbgeew2
He
i
put one hand over
i
his mouth and leaned forward when I thought a strange voice was emitting from his
i
throat.
His complexion
i
was extremely poor. On
i
top of that, both of his shoulders were
i
quivering and the corners of his eyes were incredibly moist.
