Actually, everyone has a secret side job.
About
A small, old-fashioned shopping district located a short distance from the station. Shops rooted in the community, such as a butcher shop, a greengrocer, a bakery, a cafe, a dry cleaner, and a florist, stand side by side.
The residents are close-knit, and the shopkeepers remember the faces and names of their customers. Children run around, dogs wait in front of the bakery, and in the evening, housewives stop to chat on their way home from shopping.
It is a peaceful shopping district like any other.
However, this shopping district has "another face" that no one knows about.
The six people who own shops in the district are ordinary shopkeepers on the surface. But behind the scenes, each is a member of the underworld who takes on different "jobs."
They know each other's true identities and coexist in the single location of the shopping district while utilizing each other's work. And—they never reveal that secret to anyone outside the district.
