Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Rich Second-Generation’s Marriage Urging Plan for Older Singles

"Mr. Shirakawa~ I have a lot of things to do at the manga store today, so I’ll leave the coffee shop to you."

"Next time, just send a text for this kind of thing."

"I’m driving, it’s inconvenient to type."

"Isn’t calling even more convenient?"

"Well, there’s Bluetooth for that." Hinata Rion said, "Anyways, help cover my shift tonight, and I’ll cover yours tomorrow night!"

"Remember! You have to go tonight! Definitely!"

Shirakawa Sawahei had a vague sense that something was off.

"Why does it have to be tonight..."

"Don’t worry about it, just go to work! I’m hanging up!"

The wilful heiress of a manager hung up the call immediately, not giving Shirakawa Sawahei any chance to resist or argue. Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Ise Yu Yuzhijin on Line.

[Did Miss Hinata mention anything special about today?]

The slacking girl involved in the Vocal Department’s club activities quickly replied: [Today? Sister Rion didn’t say anything.]

[Apart from reminding me in the morning not to skip work today, everything else seemed normal...]

Shirakawa Sawahei quietly put away his phone.

Something’s definitely up!

Previously benevolent Hinata Rion, who gave Ise Yu Yuzhijin and Shirakawa Sawahei time off before the cultural festival, suddenly turned into some kind of intimidating villain, seemingly plotting some sinister plan.

To go, or not to go, that is the question.

He thought it over carefully and figured, since Ise Yu Yuzhijin was there to take the hit, even if it was a trap, it wouldn’t matter much. No matter how mischievous Hinata Rion was, she wouldn’t target her own right-hand man, Shirakawa Sawahei.

I’ll just hang on the fringes; if things go south, I’ll retreat swiftly.

Having decided on a strategy, Shirakawa Sawahei considerately sent Ise Yu Yuzhijin a meme of a comforting head pat, leaving the slacking girl quite bewildered.

It’s necessary to comfort the cute little Ise Yu in advance; otherwise, there might not be another chance soon.

Because he had to rush to cover the shift in the evening, Shirakawa Sawahei had to give up maximizing the use of his double experience card in the music room. He took a slight detour to pick up Ise Yu Yuzhijin from the Vocal Department’s club room, and together they caught a train to the coffee shop.

On the way, Ise Yu Yuzhijin was evidently unaware of the impending danger and was chatting with Shirakawa Sawahei about the Calligraphy Club retreat.

"Minister Sakurazawa just talked to me about it... It sounds really fun. It’s a pity I’m not a member of the Calligraphy Club; otherwise, I could join in."

"Officially, we’re going for inspiration and creative ideas."

"Isn’t that just like having fun?" Ise Yu Yuzhijin pouted, "Shirakawa, I never expected you to be such a serious person."

"Are you planning to run for the Discipline Committee position?"

"Not at all."

Ise Yu Yuzhijin got interested: "Actually, Shirakawa, you really could run for Discipline Committee. The previous student council has disbanded and is preparing for elections. If you became a Discipline Committee member..."

"Then I wouldn’t let you have an easy time."

Ise Yu Yuzhijin: ???

"Shirakawa, I thought we were friends!"

"We are friends, but that’s not up for discussion."

Ise Yu Yuzhijin drooped her head, a bit disappointed, "If that’s the case, why don’t you run for student council president instead?"

"That might not be a bad idea. Then I could loosen up the budget approvals for our Vocal Department activities..."

"I refuse."

"Eh!"

In the end, Ise Yu Yuzhijin spitefully declared that if Shirakawa was so unappreciative, she’d have no choice but to cast her precious vote for Hayakawa Kashi instead.

Inside, Shirakawa Sawahei found it amusing. Not to mention whether Hayakawa Kashi would abuse power for personal gain, the idea of her running for student council president was already quite far-fetched.

That girl is always aloof. It’s fine to chat normally, but to have her be student council president and smile and communicate with a bunch of people is simply a dream.

After getting off the train, as soon as they entered the coffee shop, the barista, Koyama Haruko, gave them a gentle smile and nodded in greeting.

"You’re here."

Shirakawa Sawahei greeted her and asked, "How’s the shop?"

"Business is pretty good."

"Did Manager Hinata leave any messages?"

"Yes."

From Koyama Haruko’s look, Shirakawa Sawahei understood immediately and urged, "Ise Yu, the customers are getting impatient, hurry and change to make some omelets."

"Eh? But they’re already..."

After sending Ise Yu Yuzhijin off, Shirakawa Sawahei could finally ask without distraction, "What’s the matter?"

"Rion said, no matter what happens tonight, please help to sort it out, and you’ll get a raise afterwards..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

Honestly, I feel like bolting this very second.

"Didn’t she say anything else?"

"Not at all." Koyama Haruko smiled softly, "Thank you, Mr. Shirakawa."

The rest of the maid staff also came over, giggling, "Thank you, Shirakawa Leader~"

No way around it, Shirakawa Sawahei took the supervisor’s uniform and began work, despite his reluctance.

In normal situations, the supervisor’s job isn’t very demanding. It’s mainly about supervising and training employees, and handling unexpected situations. Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help with these maids’ jobs, let alone train them on how to act cute and flirt with customers.

The maid service staff were all very dedicated, each playing their role according to the character card they drew, so there wasn’t much for Shirakawa Sawahei to do in terms of supervision.

Thankfully, he could still go to the kitchen to guide the work of cute little Ise Yu.

"You don’t have enough heat here."

"This one’s a bit too salty."

"Hmm, now it’s bland."

The slacking girl, Ise Yu Yuzhijin, could no longer bear it and kicked the supervisor big boss out of the kitchen.

Deprived of his source of joy, Shirakawa Sawahei could only head to the coffee bar of the store, contemplating for a while, and once again seriously considering what kind of trouble Hinata Rion might stir up.

Koyama Haruko didn’t have many opportunities to make coffee, and during her free time, she would chat with Shirakawa Sawahei. He probed with side questions, realizing that this chief barista seemed to know the inside story but was pretending to be clueless.

While lost in his thoughts, a completely unexpected visitor appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop.

He quickly went over to greet politely, "Manager Enhei."

The visitor was the manager Enheikou of the family restaurant where he previously worked. Seeing Shirakawa Sawahei, the man warmly smiled and said, "I happened to stop by, hope I didn’t interrupt your work, Mr. Shirakawa."

"Not at all." Shirakawa Sawahei welcomed Enheikou in and asked, "Would you like some coffee?"

"No need to trouble yourself. I’m actually here to find that girl, Rion... Isn’t she here?"

Shirakawa Sawahei helplessly said, "Miss Hinata had something to attend to, so we swapped shifts temporarily."

Hearing this, Enheikou paused in surprise and then looked down with regret, saying, "I’m really sorry, that child Rion seems to have caused you trouble, Mr. Shirakawa..."

"No, please don’t worry about it. This is a normal situation you can encounter at work..."

"No, actually..." Enheikou sighed, "This time, it’s because Rion decided impulsively to swap shifts with you to avoid an arranged marriage..."
