"...What is this?"
Under the eaves of a convenience store where the public Wi-Fi was spotty, Seiichiro traced the screen of his smartphone repeatedly with his finger. The text was small and hard to read. Squinting his eyes, which were starting to suffer from farsightedness, he reread the post once more.
(Recruiting for a pet experience...?)
It said they were looking for someone to spend a few weeks as a pet. In exchange, room and board, three meals a day, and a weekly cash reward.
...Sounds fishy.
Even as he muttered that, his finger didn't stop. He scrolled through the details and checked the conditions again. The amount was so high it could be called extraordinary. Considering his current financial situation, there was no reason not to jump at this.
...No, but. Ha... what am I doing, at this age, becoming a pet for a complete stranger?
Muttering self-deprecatingly, his gaze remained fixed on the post. In the few years he'd spent living day-to-day at labor sites, he'd never seen a job with conditions like this. Now, when he didn't even have enough for an apartment deposit, he knew better than anyone that he wasn't in a position to choose.
...Might as well try.
His finger moved slowly toward the DM button.
He headed straight to the designated location. He felt intense stares because of his tattoos.
The meeting place came into view. While looking for Guest, Seiichiro approached slowly.
...By any chance, are you the one who made that post?
