Cancellation and Thanks.
I was abducted by Shizuki that night.
As I was sitting in my room leisurely memorizing English words, my phone rang.
It was a request mail from ‘Eats and Eats’.
It happened to be delivered to the same luxury apartment.
The room number was 401, which means it was Shizuki Miori’s house.
It seems that the thread of connection between us that I thought was broken was still connected.
She ordered a pasta and salad set from an Italian restaurant.
It’s a very feminine and healthy menu.
Of course, I was offered an extra bonus again.
I was just about to finish my studies so I didn’t hesitate to tap the order button and get ready to go out.
◆ ◆ ◆
“It was this way, right?”
I pedaled my light cross bike along the same path I had taken yesterday.
It’s still very hilly.
*Notification Ring*
“Hmm?”
I heard the notification sound of my phone from my pocket, and I parked my bike on the side of the road.
It sounded like a text message from ‘Eats and Eats’.
However, a person who’s delivering a package shouldn’t receive a text request.
What in the world is this message about?
“What?”
The mail said, “Notice of Order Cancellation.”
Apparently, the order was cancelled during delivery.
In short, the pasta in the box on my back doesn’t need to be delivered anymore.
Even if the delivery is cancelled in the middle of the day, I’ll still get paid a little, so I won’t lose that much.
However, Shizuki, the person who placed the order, must have been charged a cancellation fee.
Cancellations in the middle of the delivery itself are usually rare.
Well, she might have suddenly changed her mind or something.
It was no use worrying about it.
I went back the way I came and headed back for the restaurant.
It would probably just be discarded anyway, but I had to return it.
*Notification Ring*
“Wha-?”
It was another mail from ‘Eats and Eats’
This time, it’s definitely a request, so I stopped my bike and checked the contents. If I’m outside, I want to get at least one job done.
“…Hmm?”
Strangely enough, the order came from the same address again, namely Shizuki.
This time, it was pasta from a different restaurant.
I see, so she wanted to eat from this restaurant, that’s why she cancelled it.
She’s a surprisingly fickle girl.
I tapped the confirm button again and rode my bike.
I returned the food to the first restaurant and stopped by the second to pick up the second order.
It’s quite a distance to travel, but it’s good exercise.
This time the order didn’t get cancelled, and I arrived at the apartment without any problems.
I put in the room number and rang the intercom, which was answered immediately.
“….Please come in.”
After a few short words, the auto-lock door opened with a robotic sound.
I took the elevator up to the fourth floor and walked to Shizuki’s room.
As I answered the doorbell, I heard the sound of rough footsteps.
*Clancking*
“It’s Eats and Eats.”
“……”
Shizuki opened the door and was wearing the same school uniform and gal-style makeup as when we spoke at school today.
She stuck half her body out of the door and glared at me with displeased eyes.
“Here, your pasta.”
“….Hasumi-kun….”
“What is it?”
“What? No, no, no! I cancelled it already once!”
Shizuki said that suddenly, screaming.
I was close to her, so I guess that’s why she sounded noisy.
“What do you mean?”
“I saw it on the app! When I ordered it, It said Hasumi-kun would be delivering them, so I hurriedly canceled and reordered ….but why would you accept it again!?”
I see, that’s what it was all about.
Eats and Eats has an app with a special feature that allows you to check the name and profile of the person delivering the package.
Shizuki used that feature.
However, even so.
“Why bother with that?”
“Because….! I had already removed my makeup and changed my clothes like yesterday….”
“But you look like how you normally do.”
“I put on my makeup again! I even wore my uniform again! I had no choice!”
“No, you don’t have to do that…”
“I have no choice!”
Apparently not.
I’ve already seen yesterday’s sober mode, so I don’t think she needs to worry about it.
“Why are you delivering my order!”
“No, because Shizuki’s orders are very expensive and payments are high.”
Perhaps because this apartment is located at the edge of the delivery area, a bonus was added to the payment.
Thanks to this, the hourly rate is more efficient than other’s.
As a part-timer, it’s a job I can’t afford to miss.
“….Then how come it’s Hasumi-kun everyday in a row!”
“It’s just a matter of luck. I’m sure it’s just the beginning of the service in this area, and the number of deliverers is small. It’s not uncommon for a delivery to be made to the same person.”
In response to my words, Shizuki groaned and bit her lips “Ugh….”.
It seems that she doesn’t like her food being delivered by me very much.
But I can’t compromise on this one.
“It’s the way the system works, right? The system doesn’t allow the customer to choose the delivery person.”
“Well, that may be so, but…”
“If you don’t like it so much, why don’t you ask your family to pick it up for you?”
“….I can’t …I …the truth is, I live alone.”
When Shizuki said that, she looked uncomfortable.
Maybe she was remembering the twin’s lie from yesterday and feeling uncomfortable again.
Still, it was unusual for a high school student to live alone.
Well, I’m the same way.
“Either way, think about it. I might not be the only one at this school who is delivering for you. It’s less risky for you if I deliver it since I already know about you, rather than getting hit by someone else and having to tell them not to talk about it again.”
“Th-that’s- That’s…. true, but…”
“If you understand, it’s time for you to take your order. If I don’t report it as completed, I won’t get any mail for the next delivery.”
I handed Shizuki the bag of pasta.
“Well then,” I said and then turned away.
“Ah, ….Hasumi-kun.”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you for the …delivery.”
“…Well, it’s my part time job.”
After that, Shizuki didn’t say anything else.
I took the elevator and left the apartment.
Today’s Haruomi was off, but Shizuki maybe a very serious or even disciplined girl.
