Chapter 46 An Unexpected Encounter with a County Councilor
The first day of June was no different from the previous day, with a sweltering temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.
It was absurd for the school to arrange a 3-day job training at this time, a decision that must have been made by the school leaders with a screw loose.
To make matters worse, Asakura Yuu was now facing a huge problem… where to go?
Although the group division had ended, the remaining 2 members of Asakura’s team, or whatever you’d call it, were just going with the flow, without a clue…
Hachiman Hikigaya’s expression was dead serious as he said, “For my job training, I want to be a househusband, so can I do my training in my home kitchen?”
Asakura Yuu thought to himself, “You’re something else, Hachiman, you’re really something!”
“I think if you submit an application like that, Hiratsuka-sensei will pin you to the ground and beat you,” Asakura Yuu tried to intervene, as the 3 of them were like ants on a string, and if they encountered Shizuka Hiratsuka, the anteater, they’d be doomed!
“Save us, Hiratsuka-sensei, save us!”
“What do you think, Yoshiteru?”
“You got the name wrong! Who’s Yoshiteru?”
Yukino Yukinoshita leaned on the desk, her bangs swaying as she spoke in a languid tone, “Why don’t we ask another group?”
“Isn’t that cheating?”
Hachiman Hikigaya wasn’t afraid of cheating, he just didn’t want to interact with others.
As a transparent person in the class, it was better to just remain transparent.
Joining Asakura Yuu’s team was already troublesome enough, and now they were going to go ask others?
That was just adding fuel to the fire!
Did they have a death wish?
Asakura Yuu, however, thought Yukino’s suggestion was a good one: “I’ll go ask.”
So, the problem changed from… [where to go?]
to… [whose idea to copy?]
No, Asakura didn’t like the term “copying”; he preferred to call it “borrowing” or “reference”.
In geography, it’s called migration; in biology, transcription; in physics, a reference frame; in politics, seeking common ground while respecting differences; in history, cultural unification…
He wasn’t saying all this to prove anything, it’s just that the term “copying” didn’t sound good.
…………
“What brings you here?”
Saki Kawasaki looked up at Asakura Yuu, confused.
“Saki, have you decided on a location for your job training?”
“I have,” Saki Kawasaki replied, feeling a bit puzzled.
Did this guy want to join him?
…It wasn’t like it was a bad idea or anything; it was just a normal school activity.
“Can you tell me?”
“Okay.”
Afterwards, Saki Kawasaki whispered the location of the internship to him.
“Thanks, I love you, Saki.”
“You idiot, what are you talking about?” Saki Kawasaki said with a blush, pouting.
[Saki Kawasaki’s affection level +5, points +5000]
Returning to the Asakura team with the information, Asakura asked the two companions in an inquiring tone:
“Hachiman, Trash-kun, have you considered becoming a bartender or a waiter?”
Saki Kawasaki’s internship location turned out to be a high-end bar, located on the top floor of the Royal Okura Hotel, called [Angel Ladder], which sounded like a place only high-end people would go to.
“Bartending? Do minors really need to master such skills? Wait, why are you asking this?”
Hachiman Hikigaya felt that the development of the event was not going well.
He disliked crowded places, liked being alone, and refused social interactions, and the job Asakura mentioned seemed to be related to bars and parties, which was the type of work Hachiman disliked the most!
“There’s something I forgot to tell you… the internship location needs to be decided today and the application submitted, since the workplace internship starts the day after tomorrow.”
“Why didn’t you say that earlier?”
“You didn’t ask, did you?”
Yoshiteru Minamoto: “6.”
Hachiman Hikigaya asked shakily: “Where is the location?”
“The top floor of the Royal Okura Hotel, a high-end bar. I heard you need to wear a suit to get in, or the hostess at the door won’t let you in.”
Yoshiteru Minamoto: “6.”
Hachiman Hikigaya felt like his eyes were going dark, and the sky was about to collapse.
He imagined himself wearing a suit and walking among the upper-class people, serving them tea and water, and his legs felt weak.
“It’s okay, Hachiman, you’re good at forcing smiles, right? Just pretend to be happy the whole time, and you’ll get through the 3 days easily,” Asakura said in a way that didn’t make Hachiman happy at all.
Who talks like that?
You say I’m handsome, and I think you’re trying too hard.
“Can I give up?”
“Will you go talk to Hiratsuka-sensei about it?”
“She almost killed me last year! I’ve learned my lesson now!”
“Hachiman, the lesson I’ve learned from Hiratsuka-sensei is that people never learn from their mistakes… that’s my experience with her.”
Always courting death, never stopping.
“Hey! Don’t impose your lessons on me, you idiot!”
Hachiman Hikigaya couldn’t figure it out.
Why did Asakura Yu always enjoy teasing Shizuka Hiratsuka, and never seemed to learn his lesson despite being scolded so many times?
Was he a masochist?
Yeah, definitely a masochist!
‘…I have plenty of reasons to suspect this guy has a crush on Hiratsuka-sensei.’
Trouble, my good buddy’s thinking of a teacher-student romance.
Should I support this?
“So, have you guys decided yet? If this doesn’t work out, I’ll ask around elsewhere. But I already checked with the guys, there’s no easy job. As for the girls, are you sure you still want me to ask?”
“No, you ask a few more girls, and the workplace internship will start to feel weird.”
Imagine Asakura Yu, a handsome and popular guy, going around asking about internship spots.
What do you think will happen next?
It’s not hard to guess.
A bunch of girls will swarm in, like the mythical Kuafu chasing the sun.
At that point, the workplace wouldn’t even be a workplace anymore.
It should be renamed the harem zone (laughs).
“So, is it decided then? What about you, Trash-kun?”
“If you all agree, how can I refuse?”
Araragi Koyomi had no opinions on workplace internships.
Anything was fine with him.
Was a bar internship a bit too unorthodox?
Not really.
The essence of a workplace internship is to let students experience society and taste some hardship.
Isn’t hardship the same everywhere?
Is there any place in this world where you can’t find hardship?
And so, the Asakura team decided on their workplace internship destination.
…………
June 3rd.
Night.
Inside the golden, elegant bar [Angel’s Staircase].
Asakura Yu stood behind the bar, wiping a cocktail shaker in his hands.
“How’s it going?”
Saki Kawasaki, standing beside him, noticed his distracted demeanor and asked out of concern.
She suspected the female manager hired Asakura Yu mainly because he was good-looking, and his bartending skills were secondary.
“It’s okay? No one’s dared to let me make a drink yet.”
He had been at work for half an hour, but no customers had given him a chance to show his skills.
Maybe it was because the internship badge on his chest was too obvious, deterring people.
His skills weren’t bad, but he was being judged by his age and appearance…
But speaking of which, the culinary skills he invested in were definitely worth it.
They covered pretty much every aspect of what could be called cooking.
Bartending was naturally included.
Suddenly, a man in a suit, looking exhausted, walked in and sat down at the bar.
He glanced at the badge on Asakura Yu’s chest.
Asakura thought he would be rejected like the previous male customers, with polite excuses.
But the man spoke…
“I’ll have a Negroni.”
“Got it.”
