Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 80: Part-time Job at DocManald's ②

Chapter 80: Part-time Job at DocManald’s ②

“Um, hello everyone. I’m Alice Christina. I’m looking forward to working with you!”

Alice cheerfully greeted everyone with those words.

But, she was so tense that her shoulders had risen up… I wondered if she was okay.

Heh, also, her uniform seemed a bit too large for her. Given Alice’s size, I guess it couldn’t be helped that it was a bit loose.

This is kind of amusing…

“”Nice to meet you too!””

“She’s adorable, like a doll.”

“Ah, Alice-tan is too cute.”

But she really did come. Well, it’s not a problem or anything…

“Alright, Mamiya will be your training supervisor. If he’s busy, everyone else, please help out too.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Ahh, Mamiya-kun, not fair. This old lady wants to be her training supervisor.”

“A-Alice-tan…”

“Hey, Mamiya, go get injured. Take another week off. Actually, you don’t even have to come back.”

“…”

Well, aside from some odd people,  everyone seemed fairly friendly towards Alice, so it looked like she’ll be alright.

“Ah, Alice-chan, could you please remove that necklace while you’re working?”

“T-this one? Manager?”

“Yes, it’s a rule. So, please.”

“O-okay.”

“But that necklace is really cute. Where did you buy it?”

“…”

Ah, that’s the one I gave her during our school trip… So she’s really wearing it all the time, just like her mom said.

“Fufu, I got it as a gift.”

“Oh, from whom? Could it be a boyfriend?”

“No, n-no, that’s not it. It’s from Mamiya-kun.”

Saying that, Alice pointed in my direction.

“…”

“Heh, well done, Mamiya-kun.”

“…”

What the heck are you grinning about, not grandma, I mean, Manager? 

And Why is Alice blushing like that?

…It must be because she’s nervous. 

Yes, there’s no other explanation. 

It’s just me after all… Yeah.

“Kento…”

Suddenly, Linlin was next to me. 

Why does she look so scary?

“What’s with that necklace, Kento?”

“Eh? Oh, I just made it during the school trip, and Alice said she wanted it…”

Why does she seem so upset?

“Could it be, Kento, that you and Alice-chan have a… s-special relationship?”

“N-No, it’s not like that…”

I just gave it to her because she said she wanted it. Really…

As we were talking, I felt my sleeve being gently tugged.

“Fufu, then Kento-kun. I’ll be in your care from today on!”

“Ah, sure.”

Well, Alice is diligent, so she should be fine.

“Fufu, and you too, Linlin-san!”

And just like that, Alice showered Linlin with an angelic smile as well.

“…Damn it, I hate to admit it, but she really is cute. Nice to meet you, Alice-chan.”

“Yes! Nice to meet you too!”

“”Yes!””

Well, with the manager around, everything should be fine.

Let’s give it our best.
