Convenience Store Manager: Ran entered at the Start

-----

"That'll be 25,000 yen in total."

"Thank you! Please come again!"

The first day of CLOVER Convenience Store's trial opening went smoothly.

Thanks to its prime location in Beika Town, the store managed to rack up 200,000 yen in sales just

during the daytime.

But that wasn't all…

This first day of business also gave Akira a deeper understanding of CLOVER's leveling-up

system.

Selling a regular item earned 1 experience point, while something like that mountaineering

backpack from earlier gave 10 experience points.

The system was pretty straightforward—

Higher-level products meant more experience points!

Ding-dong!

"Welcome!"

As the sensor chimed, two familiar figures appeared at the entrance—

Fuyutsuki Shiori and Nakazumi Yui, arriving right on time after school.

Panting slightly from their rush, the first thing they did upon entering was look at the clock on the

wall.

Time: 5:45 PM.

They exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly without words.

Afraid of being late and losing their part-time job, they had sprinted out of their classroom the

second the school bell rang.

Well…

At least with today's experience, they'd know how to pace themselves better tomorrow.

"Manager Akira," Shiori spoke up, "What should we do first?"

Both girls took this job seriously. They didn't want to leave a bad first impression on their new boss.

"First, change into your uniforms."

The CLOVER store uniforms were exactly like the ones from the anime JK & The Convenience

Store Manager—green with vertical stripes, classic convenience store attire.

As he spoke, Akira handed each girl a brand-new uniform.

"Here… change into them?" Yui asked hesitantly, lowering her head slightly.

If they had to change here…

Wouldn't that mean the store manager would see everything?

"You can use the storage room in the back," Akira reassured them.

Then, grinning slightly, he added, "Of course, since there are no customers right now, if you do want

to show off your figures, I wouldn't mind."

He said it so seriously—

After all, who would refuse such an offer if it were freely given?

"…"

Without a word, Shiori and Yui took the uniforms and headed straight to the back.

Inside the storage room—

"Shiori-chan… was I just being an idiot?" Yui groaned.

She couldn't believe she had asked such an embarrassing question earlier.

"A little," Shiori admitted, "But at least you didn't start changing right in front of him."

Yui's face immediately darkened.

Did she really seem that clueless?

Just then—

"Tsk…"

Shiori frowned slightly as she looked down at herself in the uniform.

Then, she glanced at Yui.

Were their chests… too big?

Well… yeah, kind of.

The main problem was that the uniforms seemed a little too tight, making it feel like their chests

were about to burst out.

"M-Manager…" Shiori called hesitantly as they stepped out of the storage room.

"We've changed. What should we do now?"

The moment the two of them emerged, Akira's eyes were instinctively drawn to the most

prominent feature.

Yeah, the uniforms were tight—

But he had to admit, the system had definitely tailored them perfectly to highlight their figures.

"Huh…?"

Shiori narrowed her eyes. "Manager, were you just looking at our sensitive areas?"

Unlike her reserved sister, Shiori was the outgoing type.

The moment she noticed his gaze, she immediately stepped in front of Yui protectively.

"Yup!" Akira admitted without hesitation. "You two have such eye-catching figures, it's hard

not to notice—even if I wanted to."

"So, what do you think I should do?"

Shiori froze for a second.

She had expected him to deny it, maybe act all flustered like some sleazy pervert.

But instead, he was way too straightforward.

What kind of pervert actually admits to staring?!

And with his confident attitude and good looks…

Rather than feeling creeped out, she found herself strangely drawn to him.

Before she could process her thoughts—

Ding-dong!

The door sensor chimed, snapping the momentary tension.

"Alright, time's up!" Akira announced. "Your shift runs from 6 PM to 11 PM."

"You only have two jobs—work the register and restock the shelves when needed."

Pretty basic.

In reality, he could handle all of it with the system's help.

But these two? They obviously didn't have that luxury.

"What about you?" Shiori asked instinctively.

"Me?" Akira smirked, stepping closer. Lowering his voice near her ear, he whispered, "I'll be

out enjoying myself."

Then, with a teasing grin, he added, "Unless… you'd rather I stay here and keep admiring your

figures?"

Shiori's face instantly turned red.

Baka!

It was only her first day, and she was already getting teased by the manager!

"Oh, by the way," Akira added casually as he walked off.

"Yours seems a bit bigger than Yui's."

The words hit her like a bolt of lightning—

Her heart pounded, her pulse racing.

His blunt yet irresistibly charming praise was something no girl could ignore.

And for some reason…

She didn't mind it one bit.
