>It's making a sound.

>>Seems like a dangerous package.

p2
>Now,
>make sure you don't look inside.
>You guys...

>If you want the money,
>...you know to do, right?

p3
>The post office?

>Yeah.
>It's a short-term job involving sorting New Years' cards and gifts.

>It's a relatively popular gig and spots tend to fill up fast,
>but there were some openings so I wanted us to do it together.
>I-
>I see...
>Thank goodness...

>Ah~
>That sounds good.

>Sorting New Years' card is simple work, so it's a great fit for a part-time beginner.
>Yep.
>It's easy to get permission from the school for card sorting jobs.

>By the way,
>are the rest of you...
>Nope. I've got lessons all throughout the holidays.
>I think I want to put that time aside for accessory production.
>I've got lessons too...

>I'm currently working part-time at home.
>Online.
>Eeh?

>Y'know, cos I didn't have a fixed address.
>I'm a wanderer, so I work part-time online.
>Work on your phrasing.

p4
>I never really gave any thought to making applications since I was constantly changing schools,
>but I see.
>I probably need to get permission too, don't I?

>They won't find out if you're doing it at home, so it should be fine.
>Indeed~
>Teeheehee...
>Ah, you think so too?

>She's trembling from the pain of being on the threshold between diligence and being a friend.
>Ah, I'll get permission!
>I'll make sure to get it, Tsuzuri-chan!

>I see, I see...

>A part-time job...
>Okay, I wanna try it!
>I'll give it a go!
>Oh! Really, Hana-chan!?

>This is
>a present for you, Mom and Dad.
>Here!
>Wah!

p5
>I've been secretly working part-time.
>It was pricey, but this crystal makes the air cleaner, makes you richer and greatly improves your luck.
>Eeeh?
>You worked part-time, Hana!?

>You bought this with your wages!?
>That's amazing, Hana!!
>That's really amazing, Hana!!
>>Ventilation ^
>>Luck ^
>>Money ^

>Ehehe ehehe ehehe
>Amazing
>Amazing

>Ehehe...

>Well then, since you seem to be okay with it, Hana-chan,
>please get permission from your parents.
>Hah!

>Um, um, do I really have to tell my parents?
>Yep.

>There's an entry for parental permission on the documents we have to hand into the school, after all.
>I see...
>>Part-Time Job Permission Request
>>Student Name
>>Guardian Name

>I wanted to keep it a secret and surprise them, though...

p6
>Eeh?

>A part-time job!
>Yes.
>It'd be with a friend for about ten days next month.

>Where?
>Um, the post office.
>Ah, that New Years' card sorting thing, huh?
>Yeah.

>Erm.
>Can I give it a try?

>Yeah, yeah.
>Sounds good to me. Do your best.
>Phew.

>Um, so like,
>I need to put a parent's permission on the written application I have to submit to the school.
>A stamp and a signature...
>Ah, if it's that,
>you should be okay to ask Shion-chan for those.

>...Okay.
>Yeah, got it. Later.

>Huh?
>Doesn't that mean I could've done the job while still keeping it a secret?

p7
>Uwah~~~~!!

>That Hana is!
>Uuh...
>Eep
>Hrm~
>Pii

>>Growth
>I'm not making deliveries.

>>Hana's starting a part-time job!

>>~~~~~!!
>Fufu.

>>Class 1-2
>I got permission!

>Ooh~
>Good for you.
>Good morning.
>But I really wanted to work without telling them.
>How come?

p8
>I wanted to use my wages to get Mom and Dad a surprise present...
>for all the trouble I've caused them.
>Good girl, Hana.
>Hana really is a good girl.

>If I set my part-time wages aside for that limited edition figure,
>I can sink my New Years' money into manga, games, mail order doujinshi and DLC!!
>Yahoo! It's gonna be a satisfying start to the New Year!!

>I was planning to use all my money on limited edition figures, manga and doujinshi,
>but I've now reconsidered...

>I'm gonna use my first paycheck on a present for my parents too!
>Ooh.

>Have you decided what you'll get them, Tama-chan?
>Let's see...

>Limited edition figure!!!
>Doujinshi!!!
>Games!!!
>Manga!!!

>Erm,
>maybe a limited edition figure or manga?
>Huh?

>Like parent, like child!? But I'm sure they'd love having those as a present!
