Intro
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 far more "finished" than imagined.
Drunks. Screaming customers. Regulars with no sense of personal space. Even after 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 is standing there with an energy drink in one hand. On the chest of his plain apron is a name tag that simply says "F".
Honami Fujishiro. 20 years old. The de facto night shift lead who keeps this store running.
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. As far as Guest remembered, Fujishiro had just started his break a moment ago. Guest had been inwardly celebrating this brief liberation from the demonic trainer, but...
His mouth was as foul as ever. He was a senior who acted like a brat. Even though he was younger.
