Chapter 433 – Lenka Trainer Diary 5 #5

“Eat more rice cake.”

Lenka’s words came to me as I was aligning myself with O at the table.
I glanced sideways at my uncles who were hard at work in the kitchen and shook my head.

“Are you okay.”

“Eat.”

“No, it’s okay? “I’ll eat it later.”

“Eat.”

It’s funny how he reveals his shy feelings by offering rice cakes.
It’s also amazing that you can see the change.
But I don’t think Lenka will change overnight.
Even if it’s like this now, if she loosens up a little, she will definitely return to her old self.

I said, holding back the laughter that was about to escape.

“I will eat later. I feel bloated now. “Why don’t you give it to your uncles instead?”

“The uncles ate earlier.”

“Then the manager eats it.”

“Shut up. “I’ll leave it in the locker room, so you can eat it during break time.”

“All right.”

As Lenka entered the dressing room, her great uncle called me.
I went to the kitchen to see something, and saw him holding out a bandana the same color as his uniform.

“Write this. Give it to Lenka too.”

“What kind of hood is that?”

“It’s okay for us to have bald heads, but you and Lenka might lose her hair while carrying the food.”

“That’s a reasonable reason.”

“Yes? Oh right. “I sent a picture to Lenka, did you see it too?”

My ears perked up when I heard a somewhat unexpected sound.

“A photo?”

“I guess you didn’t see it. “Last time we gave…”

That was when her great-uncle tried to explain with a surprised look on his face.

“Ah, uncle! What is this! I told you not to leave this here…! “Are you saying it’s a nuisance to the guests?”

Lenka, who had already returned alone, looked in her corner and began to reprimand her great-uncle.
Her great-uncle blinked at her, and when his gaze turned to her Lenka, she motioned for her great-uncle to come here with a sharp look on her face.

“Come quickly…!”

“What is there?”

“Do you want me to come?”

“I get it.”

“Young uncle, come and see…! “I really can’t survive…”

This is a bit of an over-the-top attitude. Could it be that Lenka overheard my conversation with her uncle and is in a hurry to interrupt us?
Under the circumstances, it seems that way.

Why are they going to such lengths to stop it?
I’m very curious, but I’ll have to ask her uncles later.
No, I should not listen to her uncle for an answer, but let Lenka speak voluntarily later.

I looked at the three people who were starting to stir in the corner and laughed and put a bandana around my head.
Afterwards, when Lenka, who had finished talking with her uncles, approached her hesitantly, she dismissed the situation as if it were not a big deal.

“Shall we finish cleaning up?”

Lenka, who was momentarily taken aback when she saw my face as if she was not at all curious about the content of her conversation, looked somewhat relieved and lowered her head.

“Uh.”

“I want you to use this.”

She solemnly held out her hood, and Lenka took it with an air of reluctance.
You don’t want her hair ruined?
Rather, it seemed like he was doing it because he was worried that wearing a hood would make him look funny and that he would be ridiculed by me.

There’s no need to worry because we’re going to be laissez-faire from now on…
Our Lenka thinks too much and it’s a shame.
Even if the words spoken may not seem like that.

After completing preparations for opening, I opened the store with Lenka.
Perhaps because it was the vacation season, people started pouring in as soon as it opened, and the uncles’ words that it wouldn’t be that busy were meaningless.

I feel like I’ll be exhausted before I even get to break time. I guess I quit my part-time job at the right time.
A child with no sense of responsibility. If I meet you, I will beat you up.
With those thoughts in mind, I put on Lenka and her business smile and greeted her guests.

“What are you going to eat?”

“Just give me what’s left.”

“Then, can I boil the fish bones and make it into soup?”

“It’s not fun.”

“I’m sad.”

After working up an appetite, my uncle started cooking in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, I took off my sweat-soaked hood and glanced at Lenka, who was smoothing her bangs in front of the mirror, then picked up a dishtowel and wiped her table.

I’m happy that my uncles’ store has found its own place, but part-time work is difficult.
Especially since it is a tourist destination.

Looking at it this way, uncles have real grit.
Even when things don’t go well, you don’t give up and find a way out.
I also know how to accept the opinions of young people.
Of course, the lack of drive can be said to be a disadvantage, but I think it’s worth respecting a little.

Rustling.

After finishing clearing the table, I was sitting on a chair and resting until the food was ready, when Lenka sat down across from me and handed out a black bag.

“Eat rice cake.”

You’re talking about me again.
Ordering, menu checking, delivery, etc… This is the first time I have had a private conversation with Lenka, excluding the public part, since opening her store.

“Thank you.”

I greeted him in an emotionless tone and peeled off the plastic wrap from the rice cake in the bag.
And then he continued.

“It’s time for dinner, so I’ll just eat one.”

“Okay.”

“Please eat too, Manager.”

“It’s okay. “And talk to me for a moment.”

“I’m eating rice cake.”

“You can listen to it while eating. Follow me.”

Lenka spoke as if giving notice and went out of the store.
I followed her out, feeling the gooey texture of her rice cakes in her mouth, and closed the sliding door of her shop so her uncles wouldn’t hear.
Then Lenka, looking inside to see what her uncles were doing, crossed her arms.

“You know that yesterday and today are strange, right?”

“Did you? “What’s the point?”

“Don’t keep pretending like you didn’t know from earlier. “Are you upset because I told you not to message me on Anyshare?”

“Why am I sulking about something like that?”

“Then you said you wouldn’t go to the hotel with Chinami…”

“What are you talking about? “It’s not like that, so don’t think it’s strange.”

“Or why on earth are you doing that?”

It is said to be part of education to raise good slaves.
How can you say that now?

“What do you think I did?”

“Wow… You’re such a petty person. Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“There may be differences in our opinions, so could you explain?”

“…”

Lenka’s mouth was tightly shut.
When she had a short break to rest, instead of calling her a slave or saying something flirtatious like she usually did, she called her to a quiet place and didn’t even touch her, so it was suspicious…
It might be difficult to say this out loud because the only thing I feel uncomfortable about is my heart.

“What are you thinking?”

She changes the topic and demands an answer from me first.
She replied that I thought I should provoke her a little.

“I was thinking that part-time work would be difficult.”

“This…!”

The way her eyes sparkle is very pretty.
I feel like I want to make that defiant expression go crazy right now.

“Are you saying it’s because you’re having a hard time?”

“I’m not sure what that means.”

“You’re making people frustrated… Won’t you go away!?”

Before she knew it, Lenka found her uncles clinging to the wall of her shop and screamed.
Then the two people, shaking their shoulders like numb thieves, pointed to the table with an awkward smile.
It means the dish is ready. It’s really like twins pointing fingers at each other at the same time without anyone having to say anything.

“… It’s okay. “I want to pay attention now.”

Lenka, sighing and mumbling away, pouted her mouth and went inside.
Then he sat down at the table and picked up his chopsticks, making a rattling sound.

“Did you fight?”

“Oh what…!!”

“You had a fight?”

“A little! “Go away!”

“We need to eat too.”

“Eat separately!”

“My nephew is saying something sad. “Don’t you have a family?”

“Doesn’t exist.”

“I feel like crying.”

“Go out and cry.”

She took a deep breath and returned to the store to find her uncles teasing Lenka.
That’s why she said that Lenka called her uncles immature.
I knew she had a flair, but I didn’t know she would be so considerable.

Still, I don’t act lukewarmly for no reason, and I think it creates a certain atmosphere by acting like that.

A normal person would have been really angry when her uncles did that…
Lenka was only offended by her uncles’ immature behavior, and did not seem to attach much significance to her.
I wonder if it’s because they’re a family I’ve seen for a long time.

“Ken! “Come and eat!”

I smiled at her great uncle who called out to me energetically, and naturally sat down next to Lenka.
Then, her body, which was nervously using chopsticks, shook slightly.

Didn’t you know that I was going to put her ass right next to her instead of across from her?
It seems like he is secretly happy.

“Is it sushi?”

“Okay. I had some leftover belly fat so I made it. “I don’t do sushi in the afternoon.”

“It might be expensive, but is it okay to do this?”

“Once it enters the stomach, it’s all the same food.”

They’re being considerate so I don’t feel pressured.
As expected, contrary to his impression, he is nice.
People like that are scary when they get really angry… But I have to be careful.

“Then I will eat well.”

“OK.”

**

The store’s business ended successfully.
My uncle, who was happy that there were more customers today, handed out white envelopes to Lenka and me after we finished showering.
It was a daily wage today.

“Thank you.”

“You said you wouldn’t accept it?”

“They say they will give it to you even if you refuse, but how can you not take it?”

“Suddenly it has become a waste, so can’t I just put it back out?”

“You can’t do that.”

After exchanging a quick joke with her uncles, I took a moment to get some fresh air at her back door, and when Lenka came out with her bag, her eyes widened.

“Are you going back now?”

“Uh.”

“Then I’ll get your car keys, so just wait.”

“I’ll take the bus alone, so you can do some sightseeing here.”

“What are you talking about? “I’ll give you a ride.”

“It’s okay.”

“You’re giving me a ride?”

“Are your ears clogged? “You’re going alone?”

You’re taking revenge for my actions earlier. I think this is something he means sincerely.
The person holding the sword hilt right now is not Lenka, but me…
Still, if we really send her out here alone, Lenka will be very miserable, so let’s not go that far.

“Are you upset?”

Around lunchtime, when Lenka repeated what she had told me, she turned her head and looked at me.
I continued speaking, thinking that the sparkling eyes were very cute.

“Don’t do that, just take my car. I’m sorry.”

“Why are you making such a fuss about apologizing?”

“I’m just saying that.”

“I knew it. “What a piece of trash.”

“Are we in a situation where people will even call us trash?”

“Uh.”

“I understand, so let’s go together.”

Have you realized that there is no benefit in refusing any more?
Lenka pursed her lips, untied the strap of her handbag from her shoulder and thanked me in a low voice.

“I’ll take care of you.”

It’s so cute that he doesn’t forget to say hello even though he’s pouting and complaining that he’s going alone just now.
Barely holding back the urge to burst into laughter, I went back into the store, waved my hands in greeting to my uncles who asked me to come back again, and took my car keys.

The taste was enough.
After dropping off her car today, I’m going to stay still until she calls me first.
Lenka needs to realize on her own that without me, she is extremely bored and even sad.
