Chapter 2 - (Part 5)

"Ah~ Yeah, yeah, Reiji-kun wants to do 'Eat Meets'~" [TN: Food delivery]

Misuzu pretended to be as calm as possible and made him smile with her usual light tone.

By the way, she used to call me 'Reiji-kun' affectionately, but today was the first time she said it.

After all, girls are like that when they meet for the first time, right?

My classmates' curious glances have been piercing me for a while now, but this is a girl's skill "Huh? Something is wrong with me!"

"Is this true?" "Because of Gyaru's research, I have to be perfect...!" [TN: Gyaru (ギャル) Japanese slang word for girl which means girl in English]

Misuzu's head was spinning.

"Ah... Huh? 'Gyaru'...?"

"Still, Reiji-kun, isn't it weird to react like that?"

"...... huh?"

"Okay!" "Keep that smile on your face and keep your head up!"

"Have you seen Reiji? Lately he's been running around town with a big backpack on his back."

"Then look, Ayato-kun explained it to me!"

"Ah... um, it's called delivery, or rather carrying ordered food..."

"Yeah, Misuzu is probably the best at it around here."

"Ahaha, it's not like that...!"

"Wait, why does Ayato-kun know so much?"

"It's true that I'm pretty confident, but I haven't told anyone yet..." 

"It's a bit scary, but ok, leave it aside for now...!"

"But I think Reiji-kun will probably be able to make more money than working part-time? he can do it, it's worth it!"

"Yeah ......"

"The hourly wage for high school students here is around 950 yen, right?"

"Ah... yes. Of course..."

"But if it's 'Eat Meets', it's around 1,200 yen, right? My hourly wage is about that."

"Eh."

"Besides, I don't have a relationship with my boss or anything, and I can set my own hours."

"Uh, uh"

"Depending on the customer, sometimes they even give me a bonus~"

"Ugh, is it okay if you ask me...?"

The conversation was lively, and it was three days before the weekend.

"The preparations were finished on the last day."

Reiji, who had completed the procedure on him cell phone, was riding him mamachari and carrying a large square backpack. [TN: Typical Japanese bicycle]

"(Ha~, I can't stand it)"

The person who muttered this in him heart was Misuzu Okada, a girl who held an executive position at a part-time job.

To her, Reiji Hiramiya was someone she could never reach even if she stretched out her hand.

Reiji is from a different class at school, but I've always heard rumors.

"In this class, there is a very handsome guy hidden among the underdogs." His motor skills were also a bit outrageous, and she was intelligent and polite.

What's more, according to one theory, it was Ayato's best friend Nanjo, who was always rumored to be having an affair with people in town, who kept the rules behind the scenes.

And to protect his best friend Reiji's school life, Ayato protected him from unpleasant invitations to club activities and teachers who showed lewd feelings for men.

On the other hand, Misuzu Okada, managed to make her high school debut, so to speak, she was a girl who tried her best.

As far as the school's caste system was concerned, even though she was a gyaru who was out of place, she was still near the bottom of the gyaru caste.

If that were true, it would be impossible to get close to her.

"In that case, thank you."

As rumored, Reiji-kun was always polite.

"Yes! All right, follow me first. You'll know how it feels."

Misuzu wore a racing bike and clothes like a delivery boy's uniform.

"Today's performance has to be perfect!" I said to myself and taught Reiji the basics of "Eat Meets".

Shortly thereafter

"Haa... As rumored, he learns fast~"

Misuzu sighed as she stood behind Reiji-kun.

Misuzu also thought vaguely.

Eat Meets is like a game.

Besides, it's the same as the "task quest" found in RPGs.

"Where can I get quests, and how can I get there efficiently?"

"And from there, what kind of mission receiver will you choose?"

And although I thought that might be the case, Reiji quickly learned the trick.

"That's amazing, Reiji-kun!"

"Ah... no, that's because Misuzu-san taught me a lot of things first..."

"Hmm, you're already better at choosing routes than me!"

In fact, she only noticed a few little tricks while watching Reiji.

It was the first time for me to run side by side and try to convey something like this, and it was a great experience to have a different perspective than usual.

"I might be able to communicate this more efficiently in the future."

The two chatted as they parked their bikes in a quiet park area near the station, which was perfect for checking out the drop-off spot.

"By the way, Reiji-kun, do you want to buy something as a part-time job?"

"Um... I want to go to the gym."

"Hmm... Are you hiding something...?"

".................."

"Gym, is it a sports gym? Or martial arts?"

"Martial arts. ......... I want to be strong..."

"Uh, what is it, it's cool...!"

"Misuzu is thinking." Come to think of it, my useless older brother doesn't seem to be going to the martial arts gym forever.

"Um... Misuzu-san. Can I ask you something?"

"Okay. What?"

"What do women look for in a boyfriend?"

"Uh, what is it?"

"My heart beats." What a fun conversation.

"Maybe... physical strength, I guess." [TN: maybe a good body or protection, this part is hard to read]

"Physical strength...?"

"In the end, I think it might be physical strength. Look..."

Misuzu moved her mouth away from the barley tea in the plastic bottle and explained.

"You often say that what you want from a man is kindness."

"Ah... I see. Kindness too..."

"Kindness to others is something I think I should do if I have the physical strength and am capable of it."

"I see. ......... That's very helpful."

"Ah, so I think it's okay to go to the gym, Reiji-kun!"

When she said that, Misuzu blushed.

What am I talking about? I feel like I'm thinking about Reiji-kun!!

But even though I hurriedly looked at Reiji, there was no sign of him noticing.

"That's a bit frustrating for me, but...

"Of course, it looks like you're gaining physical strength as well."

"Yeah, let's do our best at 'Eat Meets' for that!"

"Oh, then..."

Reiji checked him smartphone app,

"Hmm, can I check Misuzu-san's post again next time?"

"Ah... yes.

"Yes, please."

Misuzu stepped on the pedals of her bike while thinking, "Oh, this is crazy."

I wonder if I really want to do something with Reiji-kun.

After that, we exchange email addresses on our smartphones...

It was Misuzu who was in Tsundere mode.
