[Heartbeat value +25 points]
Kuriyama Mai thought that although most people regarded him as a vicious plague god who could not be avoided, sometimes his charm value was also full.
Maybe this is the handsome guy with a sense of atmosphere.
He turned to look at Asaka Yui, who was lying on the door guard, curled up like a kitten, and whispered comforting:
"Don't think too much. I didn't come here specifically to see you. It was all a misunderstanding before, but I just didn't have time to explain it clearly to you."
"?" Asaka Yui's shining eyes looked straight at Kuriyama Mai, her thoughts were a little confused for a moment.
"I'm Mugi Kuriyama, a sophomore at Arashimine High School. I'm not a stalker. My home is very close to where you work. It's just a coincidence."
Kuriyama Mai patiently explained.
The girl was silent for a long time, and her face suddenly turned redder than before. She seemed to have really misunderstood this boy.
"……Feel sorry."
Asaka Yui lowered her head and fiddled with the short hair behind her ears.
"It doesn't matter, this is the money I borrowed from you last time." Kuriyama Mai, who had no change, had no choice but to take out a 10,000-yen note from his bag.
"No need." The girl jumped back decisively.
But Kuriyama Mai grabbed her slender arm and forced it into her soft and cold palm.
"I'll have to trouble you to prepare the lottery box later, and..."
Kuriyama Mai blinked at her mysteriously.
Asaka Yui, whose left hand was held by him, struggled hard for a while, but couldn't bear it anymore, so she brought her red ear to his mouth.
At this time, Kuriyama Mai also discovered that there was a thin braid hidden in the girl's short hair that barely reached her chin.
He explained the essentials clearly and concisely. When Asaka Yui nodded seriously, he coughed hard and put his hand into his jacket pocket with exaggerated movements.
This attracted the attention of many people in the front row, and Kuriyama Mai calmly took out a card-like thing from his pocket and put it on the door.
"Hey, employee card~"
The door control turned on the green light, and Kuriyama Mai walked in with a handsome back to the people in the front row, and the glass door control was closed accordingly.
He walked in and smiled at Yui Asaka. Although there was no rehearsal, the two of them cooperated perfectly.
"Do you have a ready-made lottery box in your office?"
Asaka Yui's amber eyes rolled, and she just remembered that when she came to take over after dinner, she saw a lottery box in the corner that seemed to be used for the Valentine's Day event, so she ran over without looking back.
She didn't want to be considered AWOL, so she ran as fast as the wind.
"But she is really energetic." Looking at her retreating back, Kuriyama Mai sighed.
After a while, Yui Asaka, who was sweating profusely, ran over holding a big box.
The bangs that reached her eyebrows were wet with sweat and clung to her smooth forehead, and there was a vague mist in her eyes.
"There...are numbers 1-700 inside."
As soon as she placed the box in front of Kuriyama Mai, she couldn't help but put her hands on her knees and gasp for air.
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."
Kuriyama Mai picked up the box and walked towards the neat line. Seeing the crowd ready to scramble, he glanced around with three fierce eyes, picked up the loudspeaker and said like a primary school teacher:
“When to line up, when to draw lots!”
After finishing the trumpet calmly, Kuriyama Mai took out the loudspeaker and reminded:
"The team can disperse! At six o'clock in the morning, you must enter the venue according to the order of drawing numbers! If you violate the rules, you will be directly included in the park's blacklist!"
As soon as the words fell, the team dispersed and returned to their respective bases to rest. The time had reached 1:57 in the morning.
Some people who had drawn numbers 1-120 had already started trading number plates privately. When Mai Kuriyama saw it, he didn't want to care about it. All he needed to do was run away.
"Let's go, let's find a comfortable place to rest first." He greeted Yui Asaka, who was squatting on the ground, hugging her knees and shivering.
"But..." She pointed to the surveillance camera next to her, "If you are found to be off duty... you won't be paid the next day."
"How much do they pay you per hour?" Kuriyama Mai thought to himself. If he didn't leave, they would all be dead when other staff members came later.
"Because it's an all-night shift, so I have 2,000 yen."
"If you count ten hours, that's 20,000. I'll give you another 50,000. At six o'clock, we can each buy a limited edition doll. If you change hands with that limited edition doll, you won't have to work for at least half a year."
"Why?"
"Because, we are now..."
Kuriyama Mai also squatted down and leaned close to her ear, which was red from the cold, "He is an accomplice. When the door opens at six o'clock, there must be other staff members coming."
"At that time, as long as someone outside them leaked some information, you wouldn't want to lose your salary if you were operating in violation of regulations."
"Cunning! You are so cunning!"
The girl slapped her knees helplessly. The only option in front of her was to continue to cooperate with him.
Although he had good intentions, he just felt uncomfortable.
Asaka Yui was hugging her knees tightly while hesitating, but suddenly felt a warmth behind her back.
"Let's go, let's find a warm place first, and then we'll line up at five o'clock."
Kuriyama Mai had already taken off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders, "I see you are really freezing."
This thin uniform with long sleeves and a short skirt cannot withstand the cold wind of midnight in early spring in Tokyo.
Asaka Yui didn't know what to say. This man always switched back and forth between hell and heaven, without even an in-between state.
But just when she was still hesitating, Kuriyama Mai's strong hand grasped her palm and pulled her up from the ground.
"Let's go. Judging from the uniform you're wearing, there should be a place like a changing room. It'll be warmer, and no one will be using it."
"Go this way." Yui Asaka bit her lips and bravely pulled him in another direction.
Next to her, Kuriyama Mai only helped her hold the suit jacket on her shoulders, so that her thin body would be less cold.
At two o'clock in the morning, the two walked through the paradise where the princess and prince were asleep. The castle-style restaurants, shops and bookstores all looked quiet and beautiful.
Walking to the employee locker room in a remote corner, they turned on the heating and air conditioning in the room, and Asaka sighed, "I finally came to life!"
She hurried to the closet, took out a towel to dry the sweat on her body, and put on the coat she had worn.
Kuriyama Mai sat down directly on the sofa at the end of the dressing room and said:
"Today is your first day here."
Asaka Yui carefully folded her suit jacket and handed it to Kuriyama Mai:
"I came here temporarily because of the recommendation from my previous part-time boss."
Kuriyama Mai took out seven 10,000 yen bills from his coat bag and handed them to her:
"You are really working hard. You have to go to class tomorrow and you still choose to work all night."
Asaka Yui closed her eyes, took a deep breath as if she was struggling internally, and after a while, she bowed and took the banknote.
"Thank you~" The smile on her face was as sweet as a white rabbit.
"Actually, I thought there was nothing wrong and I could just read a book, but it turned out..." She smiled bitterly.
"After the security supervisor brought me here to change my clothes, I didn't know where I was going. He only told me that my task tonight was to stay in front of the gate to maintain order."
"Do the regular staff sleep and the temporary staff work?"
Kuriyama Mai complained in his heart, but before he could think of what to say, Asaka Yui took out a mathematics textbook from the closet, sat on the sofa next to Kuriyama Mai, and started reading attentively.
While she was reading, she not only showed a thoughtful expression, but also touched her snow-white chin with her little hands from time to time.
Seeing the girl's serious expression, Kuriyama Mai was a little surprised and speechless.
"Do you want to get admitted to Tokyo University? Are you so serious?" Seeing the girl turning over the exercise pages with satisfaction, Kuriyama Mai found the opportunity to ask.
Asaka Yui couldn't help but smile:
"Yes, the medicine at Tokyo University is the best in Japan. After graduation, I can go back to my hometown and become an excellent doctor."
"Going back to your hometown? Asaka-san, aren't you from Tokyo?"
"I actually took the exam from Fukushima Prefecture. It's rare to see people from the countryside take the exam here..." The girl pursed her lips shyly.
"It's very impressive. If I can get into Lanfeng High School, I will already have half a foot in the door to enter the University of Tokyo."
Ranmine Private School has very few places for students outside Tokyo every year, not to mention that she still has a full scholarship, Kuriyama Mai said sincerely.
"But..." He vaguely thought of something in his mind, "By the way, why is it medicine?"
Asaka Yui lowered her head, and her long and weak breath slowly came out from her slightly opened mouth. The little hand holding the book seemed to be crushing the paper.
"Because there are always some strange diseases that cannot be cured in my hometown, and my father also..."
"So I want to be admitted to the Department of Medicine at Tokyo University no matter what!"
