Is it welcoming, or is it newcomer bullying?

 On the day of my first day at work, late at night the day after my interview, I got a glimpse of such a phenomenon for the first time in my life.

◆◆◆

"I'm 25, hey, that's annoying."

 The first person I met on my first day at work was Mr. Aoyama, the most veteran of the late-night group.

 I'm shy, but I'm thankful for him.

 I was a newcomer, and he carefully taught me about work.

"If there's anything you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask me. I'm a newcomer with high expectations."

"Expectations?"

“No, the store manager said that this child will last a long time!”

"Oh, yeah"

"It's not only late at night, but because this place is a place, there are times when people don't come in until morning.

 Saying that, he tapped me on the shoulder.

 I had a strong image of being idle rather than busy when I heard that it was late at night, so I'm quite happy to be able to buy time by talking.

 I feel like I'm stealing my salary, but when I said that, Mr. Aoyama burst out laughing, "It's true."

 I was able to open up to Aoyama-san in about an hour. After entering, I was a little relieved that I didn't have to worry about human relationships.

 Well, this person is a man.

 The so-called Onee guy.

 He has a stout physique and a skinhead. He's a huge guy with the height and shoulder width of a foreigner, but his tone is that of a woman.

 In fact, it seems that he is doing a part-time job here to earn money for the rush construction of the lower body.

 Breakthrough work....

 I'm going to come out with something amazing when I meet someone for the first time... and I'll blame myself for the many useless body touches.

 He's quirky, but he's a good person.

“Is it an hourly wage, Aoyama-san?”

"Hakamada-kun too, right?"

"Well, well... 1300 yen is dizzying."

"Nfufu, that's right, it's fine to open up more, right? The store manager knows it too."

 Aoyama-san raises and lowers his shoulders with a fearless smile.

"But everyone quit right away after saying that."

 The amiable laugh I had been making until now vanished in an instant, like a candle blowing out.

"Isn't there a lot of people who quit?"

"Yes, there are dozens of them every year. The only ones left are me, Takenaka-kun, and Hirai-san. Those two are special, though."

"Huh..."

“For most people, it takes about a week.

“Sent to hospital!?”

 Surprised, my voice turned inside out.

 What the hell happened?

"About a few months ago, a girl called Kawachi-san was in the house. I couldn't get in touch with her for about ten days, and when the store manager got worried and called her parents... she cut her wrists in the apartment and committed suicide. It's an attempt."

 suicide--.

 The vivid story sent shivers down my spine.

"Wow... But did that have something to do with this part-time job?"

“Well, young girls have a lot of worries about their private lives.

 At that time, Mr. Aoyama was about to say. The automatic door opened, and a melody without tension resounded in the store, and a middle-aged man wearing a suit entered through the automatic door.

"Oh my God, a customer has come."

 Hey. Isn't that the most bad thing when a guest comes and opens the door?

 As if drowning out Mr. Aoyama's words, I hurriedly raised my voice and skipped the greeting.

 A man who must have been passing by on his way home from work, quickly came to the cash register with a plastic bottle of tea and a bento in his basket.

 It's a common sight.

 It's not my first time working at a cash register, but since it's the first day, I'll take a look at Mr. Aoyama's customer service. Even so, convenience stores are almost the same as supermarkets, and it's almost an assembly line. Just hit the basic cash register and return the change. Ordering, cleaning, inspection, and so on, but once you get used to it, it's not difficult at all.

"Thank you"

 After receiving the change, the man left in a car parked in the parking lot. After the man left, there were no more customers for about an hour.

 Aoyama-san and I resumed our conversation.

 The cleaning, the rice terraces, and the product inspection are all done, and to be honest, there's not much else to do, so it can't be helped.

 Even if you occasionally hear the sound of a motorcycle engine outside, it just goes by without stopping, and there is almost no pedestrian traffic.

 It was pitch black everywhere.

 It would be strange if people were wandering around in a place like this at a time like this.

 It really seems like this place is a rare place for customers to visit.

"So, was that a continuation of that story you were about to say earlier?"

    "- So, that's all the story I experienced." If you say so with the feeling of folding a picture-story show after reading. Right and left of me, dozens of shaved heads lying down in front of me or sitting on the futons, like, huh. Whoa. Uhi or something. Hawa or something. I let out a sigh at the same time. Phew……. She seemed satisfied at last, and she was relieved. I never thought I would tell this story from beginning to end... I remember that horrifyingly. A strange and unusual story that I experienced in the summer of my 25th year that I will never forget. I've been telling this story over and over again to my lovely students who are members of the baseball club. It all started on the night of the summer training camp, when we were talking about ghost stories. Even though my way of speaking and the content of the story are scary, they are very popular with Chubo who loves such stories. As a result, the annual big event of the summer training camp has become the rule of "Direc

    3 The four of them replied to each other separately, and left the cemetery while stumbling, saying that it was too bad they would miss the train. While being carried in a wheelchair and being swayed in various directions. I turned around there. Hinata--. I stare at the grave of the Hyuga family, where the smoke of incense still rises, as it recedes. Hinata is nowhere to be seen. There is incense smoke and a bouquet of flowers... Hinata is no more. The cemetery is still empty, and the fallen leaves are blowing in the wind. Seeing that, a particularly strong tailwind swallowed me who felt a little lonely. I felt like that was encouragement from him. I put the feeling of being pulled back in my heart. I tell myself that from this moment on, I will also set off on a new path."Abayo, Hinata" I slowly turned my face forward and muttered. --Abayo, Senpai--. Yes, I heard it from somewhere. I felt

    The trees around the cemetery have turned red and the leaves are slowly falling. Overhead, countless red dragonflies fly here and there, seemingly busy searching for their destined partner. The lingering summer heat has passed, and the season is already dyed in autumn colors. The red dot-patterned blanket on her lap is my sister's personal item. If a man asks his mother how he can use such a woman. I was pushed through with a single point of insistence, just use it and run it. Even though it's not that cold yet, it's too much of an exaggeration to go outside. At the end of the day, she recommended me a woolen hat and a warmer."It doesn't look like this, does it? I'll tell you, it's not mine." The person I talked to was Hinata... not the tombstone of the Hinata family."I came to thank you, I'm late... I'm sorry... I really wanted to come a little earlier, but it's this mess, so it took a lot of time." Two months after that――. There were no problems with the test results, and I wa

    "Thank you very much, Mr. Takenaka. It was a short time, but I'm really glad that I was able to work with Mr. and Mrs. Takenaka at that convenience store." I feel like my life has changed drastically. Even in a bad way. In a good way.“I have bad memories, and my body has become inconvenient.” I'm living like this thanks to everyone's help. And I couldn't be more impressed. I just somehow managed to live for 25 years. After 25 years, I finally realized something obvious that I should have noticed. When I realized that, I couldn't stop crying because I didn't know if it was frustrating or happy. Now I can feel from the bottom of my heart that I'm glad I noticed. I was valued by those around me more than I thought. And I, who thought that I just existed, was helpless, a weak creature that could not live without the support of those around me. And now I can feel gratitude for that support. In other words, what I'm trying to say is... everyone, everyone is "not alone", I guess.

     Ayame, who was listening to Mr. Takenaka's proposal, did not know that the method would work, and furthermore, he would have to bear a considerable risk to make it work. I arrived at my alma mater before the sun even rose, and sneaked into the old school building. Saying that every minute is a race, he even broke the key soberly. The rooftop of a deserted old school building. Even without summoning him, Hinata appeared there with a frightening atmosphere. Lost what it used to be, now turning into an evil spirit that only tries to drag people to death."Even if it's only for a few years, if you stay in one place for a long time, your soul will be defiled and you'll become something terrible. When you first appeared in front of us, that girl..." Unable to form even his original form, he forgot who he was. He was generating his own spiritual magnetic field on his roof. Aside from the dialogue, if you take one step closer, it will attack you without delay."I told Takenaka to get out

    "--Yeah, it's okay, it looks like you've been saved." The analogy applies, surfacing from the dark, cold ocean floor. I felt a faint light on my eyelids, and a certain weight around my lower body. I woke up Really, this time. I lifted my eyelids and stood still for a few moments, wondering again and again. The wind that feels like a swaying curtain, the voice of cicadas, and above all, the sun that I haven't seen in a long time. I was 80% convinced that this was real, but I still couldn't let my guard down. Because.... A man in a suspicious suit, who must have been there before I opened my eyes, is sitting majestically around my lower body, and has been gesticulating and chatting with his mobile phone for a while now. Am I still having a strange dream, or should I say, this place is... More importantly, am I still alive?"So it's okay now, you don't have to come over here Akane--. It's solved. You're trying to call the doctor again, right? I don't know what will happen. Haha.
