Chapter 3 – Convenience Store Part-Timer Elena
Elena.
Elena, with beautiful brown hair that slightly covers her wing bones, is a part-time worker she hired as an employee after she first moved here with the convenience store.
She was a beauty that would make you exclaim with admiration at first glance. His blue eyes, shining like a lake, were especially attractive. Customers who came to the convenience store would be captivated by her smiling face and charming voice.
There were quite a few men who went back and forth to the convenience store several times a day just to have another conversation.
She buys coffee at 3 o’clock, snacks at 4 o’clock, and dinner party dinner at 5 o’clock.
At the same time, there should be a lot of people who talk to me at least once.
At first, I didn’t really try to stop it because it helped sales.
‘Well, if you have time after work…’
There are people who confess at least once a day.
Because of Elena’s embarrassed appearance, rejecting the flirtations of those guys, we put up a warning about her.
-If you confess to your part-time job, you will be followed.
The customer is king, but isn’t that too much?
Well, what should I do?
My employees are more important to me.
‘Get out.’
I didn’t want to say anything, so I beat him up hard, but you think you’re the only customer at the convenience store?
Anyway, he was an indispensable and valuable employee at our convenience store.
‘The image has changed a lot.’
She recalled the first time she met Elena.
I first met Elena in her back alley, a slum that made me feel rotten just by her walking.
She was abandoned in her back alley, dying on the corner of the road.
As I was passing by because I had urgent business to do, he grabbed the hem of my pants.
‘Please save me.’
A desperate word to save my life.
Her blood bones were close together, and her eyes had lost their luster, burning the last of her life. A boy with short hair cut below her ear was begging me to save him.
That earnest voice reached even me who was unconscious after being transferred to another world.
I was 16 years old at that time.
At the request of the child, who was just a middle school student even in her original world, let alone her coming-of-age ceremony, I picked her up and ran to her convenience store.
It was probably terrible.
Even after three years, I was too haggard to ask questions.
And hired.
‘Because I will accept payment for saving your life. ‘Work for that amount of money.’
That’s how Elena became the first employee of our convenience store.
Her hair, which was short at first, is now quite long, and she has become a bright child with a smile on her face.
I feel reassured that the child who used to tease her has grown so much.
I’m full even if I don’t eat.
Now that she has become a beautiful woman who lives her life diligently, the manager is satisfied.
She has now given up a room on the second floor.
From jobs to places to stay.
Even when I really thought about it, I was clearly an angel.
There is no store manager like this anywhere.
“Manager?”
“Huh?”
“Customers are waiting.”
“Ah.”
Beep!
I was so lost in thought.
I immediately paid for the next customer’s items.
Should we hire more part-time workers?
It seems like the number of customers has increased especially recently.
Currently, there are only two part-time workers.
Elena, who works with me in the afternoons, and Sylvia, who works with me on weekday mornings.
What about the rest?
I do everything.
Still, since I’m the store manager, I’m doing my best to work, but it’s been hard lately.
It’s nice to have full pockets, but I don’t have much time.
“Goodbye.”
After the peak hour, the customers left.
The busiest time is from just before dinner to 8 o’clock.
People who came home from work flocked to the convenience store and bought something before returning.
“I’m done with being busy.”
From now on, I will have to deal with annoying customers rather than being busy.
For example, a drunk customer, a drunk customer, a drunk customer.
After returning to school, I worked as a part-time worker for 6 months, and then worked as a store manager in a different world for 3 years.
I thought that after working at a convenience store for a total of 3 years and 6 months, I would get used to drink customers, but that never happened.
There are too many cool drunks in the world.
When a wizard said he would show off his magic by himself, he poured out wind magic with his hands and vomit with his mouth.
There was a tornado of vomit everywhere.
Damn it.
Should we not sell beer? Or should we reduce soju orders?
Even as I think about this, I think about the income alcohol gives me.
‘I put up with it because of our store.’
I have to earn money to pay my children’s salaries and make a living for myself.
“Manager, I cleaned everything here.”
Elena shouted, waving her hand as she scrubbed her floor thoroughly with her mop.
“Okay. It was a lot of hard work. “Get off work quickly.”
“No. Are you okay? I’ll be there a little later. Still, a lot of customers come until 9 o’clock.”
“I don’t pay you more because you work more.”
I’m a saltier boss than you think.
Night Shift? No way. You guys get paid a lot per hour.
In order for our convenience store to become better than it is now, we must strictly maintain work-life balance.
What if it collapses, and I can’t get to work? I have to see it all by myself, but I will never see it like that.
“You don’t have to give it. “I stay because I just want to stay.”
I always think about Elena.
“Aren’t you sick somewhere?”
A part-time worker prefers working rather than coming home from work.
No, I will work without getting paid.
It shouldn’t be like this at such a young age.
Even though the age difference between her and me is only 7 years.
In 7 years, 7/10 of the rivers and acids change.
Or is this really a protest for money?
This young guy has already become clever.
“It’s okay. “Go in and rest today.”
“I don’t like it.”
“It’s time to get off work. “No matter how much I am an evil boss who squeezes part-time workers, I have to at least make sure they leave work early.”
“Heeing.”
Elena pursed her lips.
“They don’t think I’m acting cute.”
I grabbed her lips.
“Ouch! “It hurts, manager.”
“I said it hurts.”
It’s not okay for a part-time worker to climb too hard.
It was also necessary to show a reasonable amount of authority of the store manager.
“Pi.”
“Anyway, get off work. “I will take care of everything at night.”
6 months after returning to school.
And now it’s been 3 years since I came to this world.
Now, I can do nighttime part-time work with my eyes closed.
To be honest, I owe a lot to the skills I gained while crossing over to this world.
[Sense of ownership: In a convenience store, the manager is invincible.]
Invincible.
It’s not just about being strong, it also has the meaning of physical strength.
I could stay up all night and not get tired even if I worked all day.
Rather, I felt like my body was getting stronger every time I stayed up all night.
When I feel bored, it’s because I exercise alone.
I don’t know about that either.
If I had known the reason in the first place, I wouldn’t be here.
In fact, the very fact of coming to this world in the first place is full of questions.
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how to get back.
But do you want to go back?
That’s not it again.
Go back and live as a returning student with no problem?
It would have been a hundred times better to be a convenience store manager in another world.
Even the only modern convenience store that exists in the world.
An intelligent convenience store with air conditioners in the summer, boilers in the winter, refrigerators to maintain freshness every day, and fluorescent lights that shine without changing them 24 hours a day.
What a great strength it is to be unique.
I will never go.
When I stand at the counter, Serin’s image sometimes flashes in my mind.
That guy must have fucked Serin so much, right?
It wasn’t as clear as it used to be, as it took some time, but the shock was still there.
Now that happened. I just want to.
As time passed, I thought I could forget everything.
She has a fatal disease that says she cannot stand unless she is a virgin.
It’s still okay.
Not yet.
“Manager?”
“Huh?”
Elena waved her hand in front of me.
Ah, I thought about something else again.
It often happens like this.
When I think about what I experienced right before the transition, my thoughts become too deep.
Damn Lee Se-rin.
Damn bitch.
A bitch like a whore.
Damn, I loved you.
“Sorry, I was thinking about the past a bit.”
“Are you thinking about the old days?”
“This was before I built this convenience store.”
“Ah.”
“Anyway, you had a hard time today. Go up and rest.”
Elena sighed and took off her vest.
When she took off the vest with the DG logo on it, her voluptuous body hidden under the vest was revealed.
I grew up really well.
I don’t know what kind of man will snatch me, but he will die by my hands three times and I will have to get permission.
“What are you doing? I won’t go in.”
Elena was standing in the store in confusion.
“Manager, I’m not an employee right now, right? “You even took off your vest.”
“Uh? So, go up to your dorm. Or even go around the streets of the Empire.”
“You’re doing that right now.”
“What?”
“I am here as a guest.”
This kid told me not to work, and now he’s making fun of the store manager.
I told her to take a break, but now she’s making a fuss about taking a break in front of the hard-working store manager.
Are you going to make me work overtime?
It’s done.
Go to work at 12 o’clock and finish at 8 o’clock. This is Elena, who has suffered a lot.
There is no need for her to suffer any further.
Yes, yes.
Let us forgive her with the heart of an uncle.
Please forgive her little nephew’s mischief.
“Hmm…”
Elena walked around the convenience store for 30 minutes, carefully examining and touching her items.
She wasn’t living, and she wasn’t making a mess either.
Rather.
“Hey, what if I keep organizing things like that instead of picking them out?”
“Ah, it’s a habit…”
She was organizing the product logos so that they faced the same direction.
“They told me not to work?”
Hehe.”
It’s an amazing sight.
A beautiful woman who looks like something out of a fantasy novel is browsing the items at a Korean convenience store.
I can’t get used to this even after 3 years.
It was rather cute to see him holding retort food, which is ready to eat in the microwave, in his hand and thinking about what to eat.
I just wanted to make fun of him, so I said something.
“Aren’t you eating too much?”
“To? No. “Well, it was the manager who told me to eat well because I didn’t eat much.”
“Don’t eat too much convenience store food. It hurts my body.”
Although it is strange for a convenience store manager to say that.
It was then.
Rattle!
“Welcome. It’s a DG convenience store.”
The door opened, and a woman dressed in fancy clothes came in.
“Oh, of course there was.”
Her shiny blonde hair matched the flashy clothes that showed off her cleavage, and her powdered face was glowing with glitter around her eyes.
Someone said.
“Was it you?”
Luna, a woman who worked at ‘Lake with a Moonlight Smile’.
The woman from Changgwan.
Although they call it a lake among themselves.
“I guess Luna is on duty today?”
“Because I don’t have a reservation.”
Luna walked to the area where the condom boxes were gathered, her sleepy eyes shining.
She took her armful of condoms and put them down on her counter.
It’s always daily life.
She was on duty at the lake every day to ensure that civilization had 99.9% contraception.
In the past, contraception was done with herbs and magic, but condoms are much neater than that.
“You came early today?”
He usually came at 12 o’clock.
“Oh, that’s because Madam asked me to tell you this.”
“What is it?”
“They say a VVIP is coming to the convenience store now.”
“What? Hey, why are you saying that now?”
“I don’t know. I just heard it too. “I told you.”
VVIP?
There was only one VVIP that Luna, who worked at Moonlight Lake, would talk to me about.
The star of the empire and the one who will become a brighter sun than anyone else in the future.
Crown Prince of the Empire.
‘Damn.’
Why is the crown prince coming at this time?
The sun has run out.
