The Blond-Haired Blue-Eyed Well-Endowed Carnivores Yandere Creature Wrings Out Sins Like an Almighty Goddess, an Unreasonable Angel, and a Compassionate Holy Saint - 16

“I have part-time job today, you know.”

“Is that so? Well, Kuroda-kun, you no longer need to work. So, quit your job today.”

“No, it’s not that simple…”

“It’s okay. In the first place, it’s a mistake for someone like you, a social misfit, to be working. You need to be aware that someone as useless as you, who can only drag others down, is a burden to your workplace.”

I wanted to argue that I wasn’t causing any trouble, but I realized that this was merely my own self-assessment.

Maybe, just maybe, it was true, and no one had mentioned it. Perhaps I was being bad-mouthed as incompetent behind my back… these paranoid thoughts flashed through my mind.

No, I’m probably fine, I think.

But Shirai’s scolding, laced with insults, cut deep into my heart.

“But… if I quit so suddenly, it would definitely cause trouble.”

“That’s a fair point. Alright then, let’s go apologize together. You can say something like, ‘I deeply apologize for the inconvenience I’ve caused so far. To prevent further trouble, I would like to resign as of today. I understand this is a selfish request, but I hope you can forgive me.’ We’ll kneel and apologize. Don’t worry, although it’s not what I want, I’ll apologize with you. If we apologize sincerely, they’ll understand.”

The goddess kindly and gently insisted on repentance.

This goddess is truly insane. I’m getting used to this absurdity, though.

Naturally, as a lowly slum dweller, I have no right to refuse. The goddess’s oracle is absolute.

Together with Shirai, I went to my part-time job at a family restaurant chain. We apologized profusely to the manager and arranged to quit.

The manager was visibly perplexed by the presence of Shirai, an outsider, but despite his reluctance, he accepted my resignation.

His reluctance to let me go suggested that I was needed to some extent, which made me feel slightly better. Thank you, manager.

However, I couldn’t just leave a hole in today’s shift. Since the store wouldn’t function without me, I was allowed to work for today only.

Shirai was notably displeased with this arrangement, but she relented when the manager was almost in tears. By the way, none of my suggestions were considered.

 “Hey… Kuroda-kun. Is she your girlfriend? I mean… she’s cute, but isn’t she a bit too scary?”

The manager whispered to me quietly.

“What are you two talking about?”

Before I could respond, Shirai intercepted. With a smile, she gripped my shoulder firmly. Her reactions are too quick.

The manager let out a small “Eek…!” and hurriedly retreated. I felt truly sorry for the manager.

“Kuroda-kun, make sure to work properly without causing any trouble, alright? I’ll be watching you the whole time, so if you do anything that might inconvenience others or think about doing something bad, I’ll take you away immediately. And remember, you must not interact with female customers. Understand? You are not to talk to any other women but me. Got it?”

“I’m mostly in the kitchen, so I rarely do any customer service…”

“Got it?”

“Yes… I understand.”

Shirai’s authority was undeniable. I decided to work earnestly. Well, I’ve always tried to work earnestly at my part-time job.

And so, I started my final shift.
