My Years Working at the Odd Jobs Shop

[Updates every other day.] [Check out my upcoming novel: I Keep Getting Myself Killed in a Dating Game] Blurb: So, there I was, having run away from home with only five hundred yen to my name and a dead phone, when I more or less forced my way into a job as the deputy manager at a jack-of-all-trades shop that did a bit of everything. The boss and the two original employees were adorable, but not exactly the brightest. Their specialties were doing stupid things and making sarcastic comments. As the only one who was more or less normal, I worked hard to bring in more business and complete all kinds of commissions. More and more people from other worlds, brought to the shop by some transmigration deity, kept showing up. To put these deadbeats to good use and allocate our resources sensibly, I assigned them all sorts of jobs as deputy manager. The shop's motto: If you pay, we'll take on anything! Including, but not limited to, pitting a berserk, fight-hungry Yato against the Port Mafia, who make children cry, in a battle for business. Having a one-eyed commander compete to see who's more evil against a deranged curse user who's gone dark and wants to kill every ordinary person. Sending a naturally affectionate undercover agent who loves paw pads into a shady liquor company to investigate a murder, only for them to accidentally rise through the ranks. The boss is useless, so I have to take over. I gathered everyone and secretly discussed a coup: "I'm sick of being deputy manager. Support me as the new manager, and I'll make you all deputy managers." The crazy rabbit, scooping white rice out of a bucket, had no objections. Half the coup was already done. I'd bought off the shop's strongest fighter with a bucket of rice ages ago. The rabbit's little sister, who was also scooping rice, asked, "If we're all deputy managers, who's going to be an employee?" Well, I'd bought off the shop's second strongest fighter with a bucket of rice, too. The position of manager was as good as mine. I replied: "Obviously, the lazy silver-haired natural perm with a distinct Jump vibe will be the sole employee!" I love the shop! My shop! A burst of inspiration led me to write this for fun. The love interest is a sunny, cheerful young man: Nii-san! A chaotic, nonsensical day-to-day story about working at a shop that's not exactly warm and cozy! Upcoming novel: I Keep Getting Myself Killed in a Dating Game For the money, Shui Wuyue Ling joined the beta test for a dating game. The game promised complete freedom, with the plot generated by AI. At the start of the game, Shui Wuyue Ling made himself a burly, broad-shouldered, bearded man with a scarred face, completely forgetting that it was a dating game. As soon as he logged in, Shui Wuyue Ling picked the weirdest of the three starting options: brain matter. That kicked off a brutal game with the mission target's affection at minus one hundred from the start. Seeing the affection score, Shui Wuyue Ling joked, "This is so low. It's not like I forced myself on him or anything, right? That's why he hates me?" The moment he finished speaking, the System successfully registered it. Staring out from behind his bearded, scarred starting avatar, Shui Wuyue Ling fell silent: It was my fault. I'm too much of a freak. He has every reason to hate me. As he tried to win over his targets, Shui Wuyue Ling always came up with new ways to get himself killed. Endings achieved so far: BE1: [A Deadly Romance with a Curse User Whose Affection Is Minus One Hundred] A curse user who had wandered the world for over a thousand years, plotting every move and surviving inside other people's bodies like a rat, all to bring back the age of jujutsu and resurrect his dead lover. BE2: [Forbidden Love with the King of Curses] The light that never belonged to him would eventually fade. Goodbye, big brother. See you in the new era. HE3: [Campus Romance with My Ex-Boyfriend's Best Friend] Who says a double suicide can't be a happy ending? With three people involved, one of them is bound to be left behind. HE4: [What-If Route: A Tragic Romance with the Port Mafia Boss] As he fell, I caught him and fell in his place. Dying in your stead and seeing the world beyond death for you, this was the happy ending I chose for you: you survive with your best friend, but without me. At last, Shui Wuyue Ling finished pursuing every character and prepared to quit the game and collect his money, feeling quite pleased with himself. He died, only to be brought back to life the next second by the target he'd loved and fought with a thousand years ago. Worst of all, he was resurrected in his original avatar's body. A new world had arrived, one that included every target he'd pursued before! System notification: Congratulations, player! You've unlocked a hidden ending. Please complete the final mission: survive the love triangle from hell. Shui Wuyue Ling: ... You can run, but you can't hide from the consequences. Being a heartbreaker comes at a price. Theme: Families should be tolerant and respectful of one another.
