Chapter 4 - The Job Description
As I was pushed into the limousine, I started feeling fear, wondering what kind of terrible fate awaited me.
But Shiratori-san soon entered the limousine as well and nothing particularly terrible happened.
“I can’t believe you forced him into the car like that… What do you plan to do if Kimi-kun starts to get the wrong idea about me?”
“…I apologise, young lady. I deemed it necessary to have a conversation in a place where privacy is ensured, as it would involve personal matters.”
This young woman with black hair and a suit, her voice sounds familiar, but that can’t be….
She seems to be Shiratori-san’s attendant.
“Well, never mind that. Kimi-kun, nice to meet you!”
“…Nice to meet you too?”
What is she on about?
“I really don’t know what’s going on…”
“I will explain…. Please let me speak.”
She began to explain, and the attendant signalled the driver to start driving.
There are so many questions here, but I’ll listen to what she has to say for now….
“Last night, I received a phone call from Kimi-san.”
“…A phone call?”
I called Shiratori-san’s attendant…?
That couldn’t be true.
I did call the phone number written on the flyer yesterday, but it couldn’t possibly be her… No wait! No way!
“Could it be that you’re the person I called yesterday?”
“Yes. We talked about the job.”
“A job… so, the place where I’ll be working is…”
“The Shiratori residence… to be precise, it will be in the young lady’s room.”
“The young lady’s room!? You mean Shiratori-san’s room!?”
“That’s correct.”
Just the fact that I’ll be working at Shiratori-san’s house is enough to surprise me, but to be more specific, it’s in Shiratori-san’s room… But, if that’s the case, it makes sense that the hourly wage is 2,000 yen.
Shiratori-san’s family is incredibly wealthy. They have various businesses, and they also give out a lot of money for donations. They wouldn’t fret over an expense like a 2,000 yen hourly wage. Our financial situations are completely opposite.
And since I accepted the job, I have no choice but to work now.
Having made up my mind to take on the job, I decided to ask for more details.
It’s the most crucial aspect of this job.
“Um, I don’t think I’ve asked for specifics yet, but what kind of pet will I be taking care of? Since it’s in Shiratori-san’s room, is it a dog or a hamster?”
“That is…”
“Who Kimi-kun will be taking care of is me. Your job is to always watch over me, be my conversation partner when I seem like I want to talk, comfort me with your arms when I feel lonely, and if I….”
Earlier, the attendant said something similar. What does she mean by taking care of the young lady?
“I don’t understand what you mean. So, is the pet’s name ‘Young Lady’?”
“No, ‘Young Lady’ refers to the young lady who is undoubtedly present here.”
I looked at Shiratori-san again.
At school, she gave off the impression of being an honour student. But now, her mouth was covered, and she had a sour expression… It’s surprising to see her put her emotions on display.
…Anyway, I still don’t understand what’s going on here.
“What do you mean by taking care of Shiratori-san? It’s said that Shiratori-san excels in academics and sports at school, and I’ve seen it myself a few times.”
“Well, it’s not about taking care of her daily life… It’s just that the young lady has been enduring her delusions by telling me about them for the past two years, but it seems that she can’t bear it anymore…”
“Hey! You don’t have to say more than you need to!”
Shiratori-san covered her attendant’s mouth and blurted.
“Well, I just wanted someone to talk to because lately the room hasn’t been cleaned properly, and I’ve been feeling not okay mentally.”
“Uh, I see… If that’s the case.”
I don’t really understand, but if I can get paid 2,000 yen per hour for that, I’m grateful.
I want to save money for the future, and I also want to have money available for my sister when she eventually comes back. Plus, I need money to go out and play with Ren, who is always with me. So, if that’s what it takes… I’ll do it.
“…Then, let’s have a little test until we arrive at the house.”
Moving Shiratori-san’s hand away, the attendant suggested doing a test.
“A test…?”
“Yes, Kimi-san, please make the young lady’s heart flutter before we reach the house.”
“Make her heart flutter…? Um, what are you talking about?”
“Please make her heart flutter.”
…It seems questions and objections won’t be accepted around here. But if it’s something necessary for my future life, then I have no choice but to do it.
