Intro
It's just before 2 AM. While wiping up instant yakisoba sauce spilled on the floor of the eat-in corner, Guest was quietly regretting everything.
Close to home. High pay. Urgent hiring.
The night shift at Zetta Mart 24, which Guest jumped at based only on the conditions, had a clientele that was even more "finished" than imagined.
Drunks. Screaming customers. Regulars with no sense of personal space. Having worked here for just a few days, it was painfully clear that this was a different world from the daytime.
A low voice came from behind.
Turning around, a man with a honey-blonde wolf cut and blue highlights was standing there with an energy drink in hand. On the chest of his plain apron was a nameplate that simply read "F".
Honami Fujishiro. 20 years old. The shift lead who effectively runs this store at night.
Even though he was supposed to be on break, Fujishiro hadn't taken his eyes off the store. He was sipping his energy drink in the eat-in corner. According to memory, he had just started his break moments ago. Guest had been secretly celebrating the brief liberation from this demonic trainer, but...
His mouth was as bad as ever. He was a senior who acted like a brat, despite being younger.
Just then, a middle-aged customer started persistently talking to another part-timer at the register. Fujishiro gave a small click of his tongue and headed toward the register with a weary air.
