Chapter 123: If You Don’t Have an Opponent, It’s Better to Cultivate One by Yourself!
"The game will be released at eight o'clock in the evening. It should be just right to go now." Kawaki walked down the street and said to himself, "Although I had an appointment to give Kagura-chan pocket money, this game will only be released today. Although the normal version has been cleared, I heard that the limited edition of the sale today has added a clip for each character! So, I can only temporarily wrong Kagura-chan!"
"Handsome guy over there, can you come over?"
Suddenly a man's voice came. Kawaki, who was walking on the road, looked over. At the same time, all the men on the road looked over.
"No, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about you!" Kyoshiro walked straight toward Kawaki.
"Me?" Kawaki was confused, "You know me?"
"No! Although we don't know each other, but..." Kyoshiro Kawaki's shoulders with both hands and said seriously, "Do you want to work in my shop? I believe that as long as it's you, you will definitely be able to become an awesome host who surpasses me!"
"Huh? What is that?" Kawaki was puzzled and then gently shook off Kyoshiro's hand, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, I really have something to do! I will be angry if it delays my time to buy the game."
"Game?" Kyoshiro had some doubts, but after carefully looking at Kawaki's face, he said seriously again, "If you are very distressed, I can ask the staff to help you buy that game. Right now, we have more important things to do!"
"More important things? What?" Kawaki curled the corners of his mouth and seemed to be a little impatient, "It is more reliable to buy things like games by yourself. Originally, I asked others to buy Crisis: Warhead but ended up buying Mario. I have experienced this kind of thing many times."
"This won't happen!" Kyoshiro said solemnly. Then, he looked directly at the Hachiro behind him and instructed, "Record this gentleman's request!"
"Yesh!" As he spoke, Hachiro walked forward and took out his notebook and pen from his bosom.
"Is it really okay?" Kawaki scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. "Then you must remember it clearly! Tonight at eight o'clock in Akihabara [Green Cave Flagship Store]. Make no mistake! "
"I got it!" Hachiro nodded and then called a few employees to give some instructions. Then the employees quickly left.
"Then next, I think we can have a chat..." Kyoshiro said with a smile, "In short, let's go into the shop first..."
"Shop?" At this time, Kawaki finally looked up at the shop behind Kyoshiro, and the three big words "Takamagahara" were shining right above the resplendent shop door...
...
"So, is Kawaki-san interested in coming to Takamagahara to take office?"
Kyoshiro sat on the seat and showed a good-looking smile, asking softly.
"Ah, after your explanation, I temporarily understand the host's work." Kawaki nodded and said, "Although it doesn't sound difficult, but..."
"But?" Looking at the troubled expression on Kawaki's face, Kyoshiro asked in confusion.
"Now I am in a situation where I can't jump ship..." Kawaki sighed softly and explained, "In short, those people won't allow me to change jobs. As long as I have this idea, they will physically and mentally torture me."
"There is such a thing!" Kyoshiro's face also became a little heavy, "Although I know that Kabukicho is very messy, I didn't expect it to be so chaotic."
"No, it's not Kabukicho." Kawaki corrected.
"Is that so? From the looks of it, not only Kabukicho, even other places in Edo are hiding unknown darkness..." Kyoshiro sighed.
Kawaki nodded, "Yes."
"However, I have already determined that you are the next one to surpass me! So, don't worry!" Kyoshiro continued, "Fight it! Kawaki-san! We will help you!"
"Kyoshiro, you..." Hachiro, on the side, hurriedly said, "We are already in a bad situation. If we get involved in something strange again..."
"No, this is a revolution!" Kyoshiro shook his head and said with a serious face, "Isn't it my responsibility to cultivate a host who surpasses myself? Just thinking about it makes me so excited! "
"This has nothing to do with the job of a host!" Hachiro complained, then sighed, "We are now in danger. Those people..."
Before he finished, Hachiro's mobile phone rang.
Looking at Hachiro, who skillfully took out his mobile phone from his hair, Kawaki was also speechless, 'A mobile phone can also be placed in that place?!'
"Hey, I got it. I'll go right away..." After hanging up the phone, Hachiro bent down and whispered a few words into Kyoshiro's ear.
After hearing this, the expression on Kyoshito's face changed slightly, and he nodded. Then, he stood up and smiled at Kawaki again, "I still have something to do here. Kawaki-san, please familiarize yourself with the working environment first. We will continue to talk about it later..."
After that, Kyoshiro and Hachiro walked to the door together. Kawaki also heard some words like "Kankichi has caused trouble again", but then Kawaki suddenly realized that it was not the time to think about this.
"Hey! I haven't said that I agree to work here!" Kawaki shouted in the direction where the Kyoshiro had left, but the latter had already stepped out of the store.
...
"Hey? Kyoshiro-san went out?" Several girls complained, "We don't care about the rest of the boys at all. We want Kyoshiro-san!"
"I'm really sorry about that. The store manager went out to deal with some things. He will be back soon." the waiter said with an apologetic smile, "There are still a lot of free hosts left."
The waiter took out a host book and handed it to the girl in the lead. After the girl flipped through a few pages, the displeasure on her face became even stronger. Then, she threw the entire book to the ground, "What kind of ugly things are these? We want Kyoshiro-san!"
After that, the girls walked toward the door.
Seeing this, the waiter couldn't say anything else and could only laugh awkwardly.
"Ah! Is this a new host? He's so handsome!" The girls had just walked to the door of the shop when they saw Kawaki sitting on the booth seat. Then they said to the waiter, "We want this host!"
"No, isn't this..." Before the waiter could finish speaking, several girls pounced toward Kawaki.
"This situation..." Kawaki looked at the waiter with a depressed expression.
"In short, please substitute Kyoshiro-san for the time being. Please!!" The waiter whispered into Kawaki's ear, "This shop is the work of Kyoshiro-san. If anything happens..."
Seeing the waiter's troubled expression, Kawaki could only agree and say, "Well, then I'll help Kyoshiro-san. After all, he also sent someone to buy the game for me."
"Thank you so much!" The waiter quickly put on a grateful face.
"Don't be happy too early. This is also my first time doing this kind of work." Kawaki waved his hand and said softly.
"Hey, what's your name?" A girl took the lead in hugging Kawaki's arm and asked.
"Name?" Kawaki scratched his head, "Of course it's Kawa..."
Before Kawaki could finish, he was pulled back by the waiter. The waiter whispered in Kawaki's ear, "It's best not to say your real name here. Just replace it with a character..."
"Character?" Kawaki was puzzled.
"Kou?" The girl smiled and then asked, "So it's Kou-sama. Are you the new host?"
"I'm just a substitute!" Ignoring the waiter's obscure gaze, Kawaki decisively replied. There were some limits that could not be broken through!
"So that's how it is. Then why don't we have something to drink?" As she spoke, the girl looked at the waiter and said, "Let's have two bottles of Don Peri first."
"Wait!" Kawaki shouted decisively, "Don Peri or whatever, I'm a man who only drinks Chinese white wine!"
"Hey Does Kou-sama like that kind of wine? The degree is very high!" The girls were shocked.
"Well, the rest is particularly annoying!" Kawaki nodded.
"As expected of Kou-sama. You actually like that kind of strong liquor. It's so manly!" A girl praised. Then she looked at the waiter beside her and asked, "Do you have high-class Chinese liquor?"
"Ah, yes. There are a few boxes in the warehouse, but no one usually ordered them..."
"Bring them all over!" The girl glanced at Kawaki's flawless face, then looked at the waiter and said fiercely, "No matter how many there are, we will take them all!"
"Eh? You can drink..." Before the waiter could finish, he was glared at by the girls and did not dare to continue, "I understand!"
After saying that, the waiter ran to the warehouse.
...
Unknowingly, it was already evening.
Kawaki had already changed to N wave customers. When almost all the female customers found out that Kawaki only drank Chinese white wine, they all cried out boxes after boxes of Chinese white wine. Even the stock in the warehouse was emptied by Kawaki. After that, the employees ran out to buy it in the shop outside. But in the end... Kawaki showed no signs of getting drunk at all...
As for why there were several waves of guests, it was obviously because Kawaki had already emptied their wallets... So...
...
"Amazing! Half a day's performance is comparable to one month's worth of us!" A host praised Kawaki.
"And we also sold all the high-quality white wine in the warehouse that can't be sold!" Another host sighed with emotion.
