I Reincarnated as The NTR Villain in a Gal Game After His Evil Deeds Were Exposed, But For Some Reason, The Heroines Keep Approaching Me~ - Chapter 54 - Teasing the Innocent, Petite Heroine

Chapter 54 – Teasing the Innocent, Petite Heroine

I came to my first part-time job the day after I was hired.

“Oh my, we’re not open yet. Ah~ A handsome man~”

When I entered the store before it opened, I was greeted by a petite and cute lady.

She looked a little more mature than Sayoko, so maybe she’s Sayoko’s cousin?

“I’m Mitsurugi Taketo, and I’ll be working part-time here starting today. I don’t have any part-time experience, but I’ll do my best, so please take care of me.”

“Oh my, so you’re Taketo-chan.”

“Taketo-chan?!”

“Fufufu, nice to meet you, I’m Shiina, the proprietress of Shisitei.”

“What!”

The woman who I thought was clearly the same age, or maybe just a bit older, somewhere in her early twenties was Sayoko’s mother.

Does she not age because she has a baby face?

“Fufufufufu, this is nice. You’re very handsome.”

Hmm, she certainly resembles Ino-chan.

“Well, nice to meet you.”

“Oh, my, my, you’re so polite. Nice to meet you too.”

“Yes!”

“I’m so happy that such a handsome man is here! That’s right. I have to take measurements for your uniform today. I have a Jinbei ready. What size would you like?”

Saying this, Shina, with her petite body, reached around and wrapped her arms around my back.

I’m not fat or muscular. But if she put her arms around me, I’d be hugged tightly.

“Oh my, my, my, hehe, you’re very strong.”

I was hugged by a cute older woman.

“Mom! What are you doing!”

“Ah, how nice. I want to hug Taketo-nii too.”

Sayoko and Ino-chan arrived and let out surprised voices.

Ino-chan also hugged me from behind.

“Come on now, I’m just measuring the size for the Jinbei.”

“Eh~ I want to hug a handsome man like Taketo-nii too! Same goes for Onee-chan too, right?”

“N-no!!!”

Sayoko was teased and her face turned bright red.

Ah, I guess she’s the type that gets teased by her family.

Sayoko, who is wary of me, will definitely not do such a thing.

“Taketo-chan. Could you please help me just a little?”

“Huh?”

In a voice that Sayoko couldn’t hear, Shiina-san whispered her request.

It seemed a bit too much, but if she said it’s for getting along, I couldn’t refuse.

“Um, Sayoko. Come here.”

“!!!”

I turned to Sayoko and spread both my hands as Shiina-san told me.

It’s a completely malicious attitude, so I’m worried that she’d hate me.

But after a while, I started to feel embarrassed.

Just as I was thinking about stopping, Sayoko softly put her head against my chest and settled into my arms.

I gently hugged Sayoko, her petite body was slender and she wasn’t very tall, so her head was about the height of my chest.

“Fufufufufufufufu.”

“Eheheheehehe.”

I knew it, but Shiina-san and Ino-chan started to chuckle.

When Sayoko finally realized that she was being made fun of, she began to tremble and moved away from me, her face bright red with teary eyes.

“I…I’m so sorry!!!!”

She screamed and ran away.

“Fufu, that girl likes handsome men too. She’s at an age where she can’t be honest. She’s a good girl, so don’t hate her.”

Shiina-san smiled happily and apologized for Sayoko’s earlier behavior.

“Onee-chan is a bit reserved.”

“Now then, Taketo-chan has a big body, so it’s size L. Fufu, just as expected from a boy.”

“With Taketo-nii around, we can get things from high places.”

Completely ignoring Sayoko, Shiina-san and Ino-chan begin preparing the store as usual.

So I decided to ask Ino-chan to teach me the job.

Ino-chan is thirteen years old, three years younger than me.

She taught me the workflow of various tasks such as preparing the shop, washing dishes, and cleaning up.

In the end, she taught me how to take orders, and just before the shop opened, Sayoko returned, her face still bright red. I wonder if she’s okay.

“Onee-chan is happy, isn’t she?”

Ino-chan quietly called out to Sayoko in a voice that I couldn’t hear, and Sayoko nodded her head without making a sound.

I wonder what that’s about. Well, I guess everything’s fine now that Sayoko’s back?

Once business hours began, it was clear that this shop is very popular.

Even before the opening, a line started forming, and Shina-san began preparing dishes like shaved ice and sweet red-bean soup.

Ino-chan served the dishes, and Sayoko took orders and guided the customers.

As it was my first day and I still couldn’t take orders or guide customers, I watched Ino-chan’s movements and helped with serving and cleaning up.

Trying to find something I could do, I decided to do the dishes.

Thankfully, I had learned to do it before the opening, so I somehow managed.

Dishwashing was less demanding than the other tasks, so I could do it without much pressure.

“Time for a break.”

The long line that had been going on for about four hours finally calmed down, and the morning business came to an end.

“Today was more crowded than usual.”

As I was sitting tired from my first part-time job, Shina-san appeared with a surprised expression.

She brought cold tea for everyone.

“Mom was busy working inside, so she doesn’t know.”

“Eh, what is it? Did something happen?”

“We had a lot of female customers, right?”

Ino-chan, also looking tired, looked at me.

“Apparently, a talk started about a cool and handsome big brother working here~”

“Oh my, kids these days catch on to information so fast.”

I never thought that I would be talked about.

“Tha-thank you for your hard work!”

Sayoko sat down next to me to give me tea.

“Thank you.”

After expressing my gratitude, I was suddenly soothed by the sight of Shisitei mother and daughters dressed in yukata.

All three of them look good together and are a feast for the eyes.

“Y-you were so active that I couldn’t believe it was your first day, thank you very much!”

“Really? I was trying really hard not to get in the way.”

“You were amazing! You paid attention to us and helped when we needed it. It was really helpful!”

Sayoko praised me with a serious expression, and I couldn’t help but feel good about it. I didn’t expect the first day to be so busy, with customers continuing non-stop until 7 p.m.
