Chapter 390 Idle Chat
“These are basically all the things to note in daily life. As for the specific work process, someone will be responsible for teaching you when you report to the department we visited tomorrow. Do you have any other questions, Kiyomizu-san?”
In the simple and tidy new room, the long-haired woman in an OL uniform earnestly introduced the contents of the dormitory room to Kazumi behind her, and finally, with a professional smile, she said lightly.
“No questions.”
The young girl looked at the environment around the room expressionlessly, then turned and nodded.
“Okay, then I won’t disturb you while you tidy up your room. Remember to report to the department on time tomorrow. You can contact me on your mobile phone anytime if you have any new questions.”
“Okay, thank you, Nancy-姐.”
Politely bowing to Sister Nancy, who had shown her around all afternoon, the young girl stepped forward and closed the room door. She squatted down, opened the suitcase beside her, and began to carefully look at the small room that would be her resting place for the next half of her life.
It had to be said that as a rising top agency, Muscle Agency provided extremely generous accommodation even for interns. It was a small but exquisite and complete independent single room, much more comfortable than her own dilapidated small room back home.
The independent bathroom and small washing machine could basically meet daily needs, plus a small balcony, which would be presentable even in a high-end hotel outside. Even the bedding was prepared in advance. If you were particular about these things, there was also a special large laundry facility nearby.
For Kazumi, these living conditions were not something to be picky about. Didn’t she just use [Black Coffin] to absorb things and lie on the bed after arriving at her territory? Although it was still quite clean.
Casually hanging a few sets of clothes from the suitcase into the cabinet next to her, the young girl’s tidying up was basically complete. She took out a cup, walked to the direct drinking water tap, and filled a cup with water. Kazumi drank the water, took out some information from her small bag, and sat down at the desk.
“Gulp gulp gulp–”
Just as Kazumi was about to continue reading “The History of Hero Development” that she hadn’t finished during this leisurely afternoon, a familiar ringtone accompanied by a vibration sounded on her right.
Frowning, she pressed the answer button on the phone screen. The next moment, a golden-haired dog head with a crying face appeared on the screen.
“Kazumi–”
“What!”
Looking at Sato Shinichi on the screen with a dejected face, Kazumi felt her blood pressure rise a little. She forcefully placed the cup on the desk and replied impatiently.
“I wanted to see how you are. I’m really worried that I couldn’t send you there.”
Sato Shinichi leaned towards the screen, looking at his girlfriend apologetically. From this side of the screen, one could vaguely see the notebook and information pressed under his elbow.
“Are you an idiot?!”
“Didn’t I say not to worry about such boring things? It’s just an internship in another part of the same city. Am I going to get lost by myself?”
Looking at her hopelessly stupid boyfriend, Kazumi’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she spoke.
“But Kazumi, you usually don’t travel far. I’m just a little worried…”
“You should worry about your internship assessment first. The exam is coming up, and you’re telling me you still have something you don’t understand? Are you deliberately trying to make me angry?”
Slapping the screen with that smug face, Kazumi truly had no pleasant expression this time. The young girl couldn’t figure out whether this guy was genuinely ignorant and looking for her to study or if he just wanted to find a way to pester her after not seeing her for a while. After all, with Sato Shinichi’s foolish brain, it was impossible for him to think of such a method.
“Hehe, I’m just not good at calculations. I’ve looked at all the methods you gave me, and now I can understand some of them.”
Raking the back of his head sheepishly, Sato Shinichi gave a clumsy smile, his face still sporting that asinine and punchable look.
“You must understand everything. If you don’t pass this internship assessment, there won’t be any agencies recruiting for vacation interns. Otherwise, you can go to Aunt Longji to intercede for you.”
After harshly retorting to the fool a couple of times, Kazumi took another sip of water to calm down, looking at the jumping dog head on the screen like a mother worried about her child’s poor grades.
“Mhm mhm mhm, I’ve been studying all afternoon and was just waiting for you to finish your work to find you.”
“Really?”
“Really, really!”
As if afraid his girlfriend wouldn’t believe his words, Sato Shinichi quickly propped up the notebook on the table. The several pages of calculation formulas also proved that the other party had indeed studied for a considerable amount of time.
“Oh, then take a break.”
Seeing her son’s effort, Kazumi’s expression softened somewhat. She stood up and placed her schoolbag, which she had thrown on the bed, on the nearby storage cabinet.
“Kazumi, is this your agency’s dormitory? It seems quite nice!”
“It’s alright. The environment is pretty good,”
While tidying her slightly messy bangs on the screen, the young girl replied lightly.
“It’s much better than the agencies I visited before. The environment there was terrible, even the roof was leaking.”
“Ah, you visited before? Where?”
Sato Shinichi’s words first made Kazumi freeze, but she quickly came to her senses. After all, given the young man’s family background, it would be more surprising if he hadn’t had the chance to visit an agency.
“Over in Nishihara, it was a long time ago when Grandpa took me to see a friend.”
“It’s not normal for that place in Nishihara not to be run-down.”
Lightly teasing her boyfriend, the young girl continued.
“But it’s also because of the association’s resource tilt. Otherwise, ordinary agencies wouldn’t be able to provide such good conditions.”
“Association resource tilt?”
Kazumi’s words made a flicker of doubt flash in Sato Shinichi’s eyes. He then asked.
“You haven’t heard of this?”
“Mhm… I roughly understand how it works. I think I heard that old man mention something about it before, but I never paid much attention.”
“As expected, I can’t rely on you.”
Helplessly rubbing her forehead, Kazumi found it quite difficult to get any information from Sato Shinichi. The main reason was that she didn’t know what he was thinking about all day.
Ah, it’s all about me? Then it’s fine.
Pushing the horizontally placed phone to the far end of the desk, the young girl turned her head to look at the still bright window outside. She lazily stretched and then lay down, resting her head on her arm, quietly looking at the foolish face that was now appearing sideways on the screen.
“Silly Shinichi.”
“Mhm.”
“Do you think this kind of agency model is good?”
