About starting a part-time job as a rental boyfriend and then getting a lifetime contract from the most popular heroine at the university

“Thank you for today!”

Haruya, having concluded his date as a rental boyfriend, exchanged final greetings with the customer who had chosen him.

The time had just passed 7 pm.

The surroundings were beginning to darken.

“Um, can I choose you again?”

In response to the customer’s question, Haruya apologized.

“Actually, I’ve decided to quit being a rental boyfriend… so, I’m sorry.”

“I see… that’s a shame because I had fun.”

“If you enjoyed it, then I’m glad.”

“Well then, goodbye.”

“Goodbye. Thank you.”

After parting with the customer, Haruya took a break on a nearby bench.

If he looked at his smartphone, there was a message from Akiha.

It was a reply of approval to the invitation he had sent while today’s date was in the restroom.

Today’s part-time job was quite enjoyable.

He also had a part-time job yesterday, and that was quite enjoyable too.

But compared to a date with Akiha, there was a huge difference.

“Being with Akiha is the most fun.”

He could honestly think that.

And he also felt like he wanted to go out with Akiha again.

Tomorrow, the wages for the part-time job as a rental boyfriend will be deposited.

And the day after tomorrow, he had invited Akiha to go buy a game for his sister.

“I guess it’s time to go home…”

Haruya got up from the bench and started walking towards the station, while sending a message to Akiha saying [Looking forward to it!].

The day after next, the promised day.

Haruya and Akiha had come to the shopping mall again, just the two of them.

According to Haruya’s research, it was cheapest to buy from a shop inside this mall.

“So…”

“Yeah?”

Akiha stuttered a bit before looking up at Haruya, who was walking next to her.

“How was your part-time job with the other girls?”

“Even though I don’t really want to hear about Haruya dating other girls…”

She didn’t want to hear it, but she asked anyway.

It bothered her.

The fact that Haruya had gone on a date with another girl, albeit for work, was a thing of the past.

So even if it was very fun or boring, there was nothing Akiha could do about it.

But Akiha couldn’t help but ask.

“It was fun.”

“Hmm… I see.”

“But… it might sound strange to say this, but I felt somewhat unsatisfied.”

“Unsatisfied?”

“Yes. That’s because…”

Haruya, seeing Akiha’s straight gaze, returned her gaze straight and smiled.

“I thought being with Akiha was the most fun.”

“…”

Akiha felt her face heat up and quickly averted her eyes.

Aware that she clearly likes Haruya, she felt her heartbeat quickening more than ever.

“Calm down, calm down, me.”

Akiha took a deep breath so that Haruya wouldn’t notice, and then made eye contact with him again.

Then she tilted her head slightly and chuckled back.

“Right?”

“…”

This time, it was Haruya who took a counterpunch.

Not that they were trying to make each other’s hearts flutter, just a casual movement had Haruya and Akiha taking hits.

“Yeah. I feel really comfortable being with Akiha.”

“…”

“It feels good to be with you, right? That means you want to be with me all the time, right? I’m happy…!”

“I also have a lot of fun when I’m with Haruya.”

“…”

“Isn’t it unfair that you’re naturally looking up because of the height difference…!”

“Actually, when I think about it, I’m really glad that Akiha was my first part-time job.”

“…”

“That means you think of me as a somewhat special existence, right…!”

“I’m also… I’m really glad that I was able to become friends with Haruya from there…”

“That’s also too cute! And I’m also glad that we became friends!”

Watching the two of them, a woman with dead fish eyes was staring.

It was the leftover lady from the information center.

“Oh dear. They’re at it again today… slightly more of a silly couple vibe though.”

With that remark, the lady dropped her gaze to the documents she was sorting.

If she kept watching the two of them, her eyes and heart could be destroyed.

Unaware of the lady’s distress, the two passed by the information center.

Suddenly, Akiha felt a jolt in her leg.

When she looked back, a little girl was clinging to her right leg.

When the girl saw Haruya and Akiha, she broke into a wide smile.

“It’s the brother and sister from that time!”

“Marichan!”

“Marichan!”

“Marichan! Don’t run off suddenly…”

Her mother, who had been chasing after her, also smiled with relief when she noticed Haruya and Akiha.

Then she bowed lightly.

“Hello. Thank you for the other day.”

“No, no. Thank you for the wonderful tickets.”

“It was very delicious. Thank you very much.”

“Don’t mention it. It was a thank you.”

While the three adults exchanged conversation, Mari detached from Akiha’s leg and tugged on Haruya’s clothes.

When Haruya crouched down as if she wanted to talk about something, Mari brought her face close to his ear.

“Brother, I’ll tell you something good as a thank you for helping me the other day.”

Mari was trying to whisper so that only Haruya could hear, but she wasn’t good at adjusting the volume of her voice.

Her mother and Akiha could hear her perfectly.

Unaware of this, Mari casually blurted out.

“You know…”
