My portable gaming girlfriend

【Eighth day】

"The cherry blossom rain seems endless."

Sakura looked at the rain of cherry blossoms all over the sky with emotion.

On the fifth day, I have already declined club activities. Today, I only need to eat Mizuhara's bento for the last time to completely avoid those two lines.

It’s a little bit reluctant to say it, that bento is quite appetizing.

"It won't be really endless, there will always be a time to end."

"Well……"

Sakura seemed taken aback. Although what I said is clearly true.

"God, let the cherry blossoms stay in the most beautiful moment forever!"

"What's the matter with that kind of prayer that violates the laws of nature..."

I responded like this, but I always wondered what Tamagawa Sakura meant by "need money".

"That's right, prayers should be used for more important things."

Sakura nodded.

...Didn't care about my complaints at all!

Wait a minute, the more important content won't be... need money, right?

"More important content? What is it?"

"No, your prayers won't come true if you say them. But today's wish can be told to Gaocheng-san."

I still don't know... more and more I think it's what I thought.

What's the "today's wish"... Could it be that Yuchuan's wish is refreshed every day?

"Student Gao Cheng, don't you want to know?"

——Because I was immersed in my own thinking, I didn't respond to her words for a long time. So Sakura reminded me again.

If I ignore her again, I'm afraid that after I close my eyes tonight, it will be the cherry blossom trail of gameover again.

"I want to know, please tell me."

Bow to the power of beautiful girls...

"Today's wish is to eat donuts!"

It turned out to be such a simple wish...

"Then go buy it."

"But something happened after school today..."

Sakura shook her head, wait, something, is it a part-time job? Thinking about it carefully, Sakura just moved here last week, why did she find a part-time job so quickly? Is that all you need money for?

However, if I directly asked her why she worked part-time, she probably wouldn't tell me. In short, you need to increase your favorability first, and the method of increasing it is very simple——

"I have a wish too."

"What is it, student Gao Cheng's wish?"

"Right now, I only know how to cook curry rice. I will definitely get tired of eating curry rice all the time. It would be great if I could learn some new dishes. So, can Tamagawa-san teach me how to cook?"

The key option here is to invite Tamagawa Sakura to cook together.

"Eh?"

Sakura froze for a moment.

"Yes, yes. But today and tomorrow won't work...Wednesday, can you?"

In other words, you have to work for two days?

"Wednesday is fine."

"On this point, I might ask for one thing..."

"What's up?"

"It's just... can my sister come with me? If I'm not here, no one will cook for her..."

"Of course, you are very welcome!"

"Great, I knew Gao Cheng would agree... By the way, I want to ask Gao Cheng one more thing..."

"What's up?"

"Although you shouldn't bother Gao Cheng so much, you are the only one who can ask...tonight I can't go to work in the coffee shop because of some family matters... If Gao Cheng can replace me for a day?"

It turned out that what happened tonight was not a part-time job, but something else...

"...It's ok. Working part-time or something is just a trivial matter."

"Thank you, Gao Cheng!"

I don’t know how many times I have been said thank you by girls in this game, “being needed” should be regarded as one of the sources of human satisfaction.

After school, instead of Sakura, I went to work at the coffee shop that I used to come to with Narumi Lily—I said it was once, but it was also the last week. I don't know how Narumi Lily and Mizuhara Mina are doing now...

"Is it Takashiro-kun? Please change into this uniform, because this is your first time here, and you only need to be responsible for serving the coffee."

The store manager is an intellectual big sister with brown curly hair who looks about 26 years old. She has a very graceful figure under the uniform. It can also be regarded as the benefit of the game to the players.

"Don't get your clothes dirty, or you'll have to stay and wash them by hand~"

she told me.

At first I thought this job was interesting, but after a while I started to yawn.

There are couples everywhere, it’s too uncomfortable for me to be single, even in the game, I still feel exposed, when will it end...

"Mr. Gao Cheng, please give these two cups of coffee to the two guests over there, a man and a woman."

The store manager pointed to a table sitting by the window near the door. The two guests sitting there looked quite old, but they were obviously well-groomed. In the coffee shop, is it talking about work or—

"Cappuccino for the two of you, please take it slow."

I put down my coffee, and when I was bored, I stood by a nearby pillar and waited for the next guest who didn't know when to come.

"... Let me tell you, it's fine to get married, but it's absolutely unacceptable for me to have two children to take care of."

It was the woman at the table who was talking. Sure enough, it was a blind date, and judging from this situation, the man was at a very bad disadvantage.

"That's not the case. Sakura is already in high school, so she can take care of herself completely. Although Jasmine is only in the first grade of middle school, she is very well-behaved..."

cherry?

What a coincidence, is it the same name? After all, there are many girls with this name.

Although the man lowered his voice, I could still hear the conversation clearly.

"That being said, but your work is so busy, if you get married, it's not me who you actually have to take care of..."

"Well, how about hiring a babysitter?"

"The extra cost of hiring a babysitter is too much, I'll think about it... Thank you for your hospitality today, Hiroya."

The woman leaves her seat.

"well……"

The man sat there alone and sighed.

Speaking of the content of their conversation, I am very concerned. It seems that the man wanted to remarry this woman, but the woman rejected him because the man had two daughters...

It's really pitiful, as the saying goes, "happy families are the same, but unhappy families have their own misfortunes."

...

"Isn't Gao Cheng-kun working part-time for the first time? His physical strength is surprisingly good."

After the business closed at 8 o'clock, the store manager found me on purpose.

"It is indeed the first time to work... Physical strength should be the reason why I usually exercise hard."

I'm laughing. There is no fatigue setting in this game, so I will not be tired if I run 10 kilometers in a row.

"It just so happens that Yamazaki-kun, who was supposed to be working part-time, injured his foot and won't be able to come this week, so the store is very short of manpower... If Takashiro-san is willing, can you stay on Tuesday and Thursday? The salary is the same as today."

Tuesday Sakura happens to be working here too, as if implying something to me. Working part-time together is a good time to enhance our relationship, and we can also understand why she wants money, and I readily agreed.

"Then thank you for your hard work, Takashiro-kun~"

【Ninth day】

I have successfully arrived at the ninth day, and it is very good that I will pass this game in one breath this time!

"I didn't expect to be able to work with Gaocheng classmate."

Sakura and I left the classroom and headed to the cafe where we worked part-time.

As expected, in the game, the sun is almost hanging above the head when school is over, which can't be compared with when I went home with stars and moon in high school.

"Since the store manager said that he needs manpower, and I have nothing to do these days, I will stay here to help."

This is also an important factor in the unreachable ending of the harem—event conflict.

Whether it's Mizuhara Mina's mother's preaching incident, Narumi Yuri's club crisis, or working in a coffee shop, they all happened after school. In order to attack one person, it is necessary to give up the other two.

Still a little concerned about how they are now...

"What's the matter with you, have you always been absent-minded recently?"

As expected, Ms. Mizuhara was already at the school gate, reprimanding Mizuhara Mina.

"..."

I forced my head to turn the other way, not to look at them. But the sound kept coming to my ears.

...

"...I will not let my mother down."

it is finally over.

No, it's not that simple, isn't the man who appeared over there the former president!

After he finished typing a paragraph on his mobile phone, he looked anxiously at the teaching building, which was in the direction of the game club to be precise...

After a while, Narumi crinoid will come down to meet him.

"What's the matter, Gao Cheng? If you feel uncomfortable, don't go to work. I'll help you talk to the store manager."

"No, I just thought of something, and my mind was a little distracted. Let's go."

I no longer look at Mina Mizuhara and the former president. People can't always look backwards, they have to focus on the way forward.

"Oh, did you two come together today? It's so timely! I'm so busy that I don't know what to do."

The store manager was very happy to see us, and immediately greeted us to put on our uniforms and start working.

Still, the store is full of high school students. There are very few young people in this small town, except high school students and old people.

But what puzzles me is, what kind of relationship does that middle-aged man have with Sakura yesterday?

'Ding--'

A customer has come.

I opened the door, and a middle-aged man and woman walked in.

"Welcome to...ah, are you?"

It was the middle-aged man from yesterday! But this time the woman is not the one from yesterday.

I looked at Sakura reflexively, she seemed to be talking to the store manager, with her back to us.

"Two guests, please sit here."

Since they came to the door, they can't be driven out, let alone the relationship between him and Sakura is not completely sure... Try to arrange them in a remote location.

"Two cups of Earl Grey Tea, thank you."

The man ordered after sitting down. Although I want to continue listening to their conversations, I have to place an order for them now.

"The customer over there wants two cups of Earl Grey."

"OK."

Hurry up, I really want to hear their conversation...

"Earl Gray tea is ready, please serve it to the guests."

The store manager put the tea and milk that he brewed by himself on the tray and handed it to me.

After serving tea to the two guests, I deliberately stood behind the screen next to me.

Standing here they can't see me.

"...I think you are a good person and we are a good match"

"That's great to say, but I have to tell you up front... I have two daughters."

"...Oh, this is difficult. Although I like children very much, I also have a 3-year-old son myself. If I form a family... I am afraid that I will be physically and mentally exhausted in order to take care of the children and take care of work at the same time. "

This woman has a 3-year-old son by herself, which is really difficult.

"Don't worry, my two daughters are very sensible. Sakura is already in high school, and she can take care of herself. Although Jasmine is only in the first grade of middle school, she is very well-behaved... By the way, Sakura is a good cook, if you want Please try her handiwork."

"I believe your daughter must be a well-behaved girl, but I'm afraid that my son will trouble you..."

"You care too much, so why? I think two people can take care of each other if they form a family!"

The man is already a little anxious, probably because he is afraid that the other party will refuse like the woman yesterday.

"Well... what you said is very reasonable. Let's learn about each other's family situation and see if each other is suitable. "

"It would be great if this is the case. Because there is a meeting that will require me to travel to a nearby city for a few days, can we make an appointment this Friday?"

I always vaguely feel something is wrong in my heart, why the incident always happens on Friday.

"..."

Wait, what did they say again, you have to listen carefully.

"Then it's getting late, let's say goodbye."

It turned out that the woman proposed to leave.

"Okay, see you on Friday."

I looked for Sakura's figure - she was still greeting the guests on the other side. It's great not to be here.

"Thank you for coming!"

After seeing off these two guests, I came to Sakura.

"Eh? Is student Gao Cheng free?"

"Student Yuchuan, may I ask, what's your sister's name?"

"Jasmine, Tamagawa Jasmine."

Molly? !

No way, if it's not a coincidence, that man is really Yu Chuan's father?

So Tamagawa-san is a single-parent family? Does she know that Dad wants to remarry? What does this have to do with her 'need money'?

A series of questions left me at a loss.

【10th day】

Regarding the content of cooking, the result of our discussion is to make Jasmine's favorite lasagna...

After school, we still went to buy cooking materials together, and then went to Sakura's house to pick up Jasmine.

"It's the first time we meet, Brother Gao Cheng, just call me Jasmine!"

Jasmine, Sakura's younger sister, is a girl in the first grade of middle school, with the vivaciousness that a girl of this age should have.

"Nice meeting, Jasmine."

"Hehe, Jasmine is very excited to see you here."

"No way, my sister is the one who looks happy."

Jasmine said teasingly.

"Is there... is there? It's obviously the same as usual..."

"whee--"

"By the way, what I'm going to make today is your favorite lasagna?"

"Wow - that's great! By the way, today..."

Molly, the child, was chattering non-stop all the way. I really don't know how Sakura can bear it at home...

"arrive."

"Is this where Brother Gao Cheng's house is? Is there anyone else at home?"

"No, but there is a cat named Meow Sauce."

"I know Meow-chan! My sister talks about it every day!"

"Jasmine, stop talking..."

It can be seen that Sakura really has nothing to do with Jasmine...

"Meow--"

Meow sauce was already in front of us when we opened the door.

"Meow sauce! So cute!"

"Jasmine! Put away the shoes you took off..."

But Jasmine, who rushed over when she saw Miao Jiang, couldn't listen to it long ago.

"Hey? Jasmine actually touched it?"

Meow-chan, who has never been touched by me since I brought it home, actually allowed Jasmine to touch its head? Could it be because Jasmine is a pure child?

Although Meow Sauce looks helpless.

"By the way, didn't Gao Cheng say that Miao-chan never let others touch her?"

They say they don't let others touch them, but Sakura is the only one who has ever been to my house. Since I didn't touch it with Sakura, I took it for granted that it was the same for everyone.

"Forget it, I don't understand it either..."

We put down the ingredients and start cooking.

The practice of lasagna is a bit complicated, and the meat alone needs to be marinated for half an hour.

During this period, I had to turn on the TV and tune Jasmine to the children's channel. I said it was for Jasmine, but Sakura and I, who had nothing to do, also enjoyed children's animation.

Half an hour later, the official cooking began. Stir-fried tomato beef sauce, boiled lasagna slices and white sauce, baked in the oven-by the time it came out of the pan, two hours had passed.
