Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 79

My name is Yamane. I’m an 18-year-old high school senior working at this McDonald’s.

Unfortunately, I’ve never had a girlfriend in my entire life, and I’m currently looking for one. I’m a guy who just can’t seem to attract women.

For now, I’ve been working at this part-time job for a while.

“Excuse me, I came for the interview at 5 PM!”

“And as always, today is no different…”

Another woman.

Yeah. Another woman is calling out to me while I’m working at the register.

“Yes. Once everything is ready, the person in charge will call you, so please wait at that seat.”

I’ve heard that many stores are struggling to get job applications, but considering that, this store doesn’t seem to have that worry at all.

Well, I already know the reason without even having to think about it.

I’m not on the shift today, Mamiya.

Yeah. Every day, there are nonstop applications from high school and college girls wanting to work part-time, all because of him.

Even so, summer vacation is just around the corner.

For me, it’s the last summer vacation of high school, and I want to make a girlfriend no matter what and create the best memories.

“Honestly, if it were up to me, I’d want every woman who comes in for an interview to be hired…

But the manager never hires those kinds of girls.”

The one who just came in for an interview—yeah, she’s got a bit of a gal vibe, but she’s totally cute. If it were me, I’d hire her without a second thought.

Lately, though, there haven’t been any new female hires at this store at all…”

Well, even so, if you ask whether it’s just that the number of men is increasing, that’s not really the case either.

I wonder what it is.

Honestly, I have no idea what the hiring criteria for part-time jobs are under the manager.

I thought they would only hire handsome guys like Mamiya, but that’s not the case. I mean, even someone as ordinary as me got hired, so I really don’t get it.

“Sure, five Big Burgers, please. And your smile too, sir.”

“Understood.”

But really, handsome guys are just unfair.

Well, with Mamiya, it’s just that he’s a bit too high-level, and for some reason, he has a pathological low self-esteem, so he doesn’t have that typical handsome guy’s condescending attitude at all, and he doesn’t annoy me at all, which is why I like him.

“Why is it that, unlike Mamiya’s register, mine is always filled with men…?”

“Mamiya’s register is always overflowing with high school girls, college girls, middle school girls, office ladies… basically every type of woman imaginable.”

“And yet, at my register, for some reason, it’s always… these men with strangely clear eyes… bearded old men, burly old men, bearded old men, burly old men…”

That repetition.

It’s so incomprehensible and unfair.

“If only… if only there were just a few more women among my coworkers…”

Seriously, this summer vacation, I want to get my first girlfriend ever. And I want to make the best memories with her.

“Um, excuse me.”

Wait, a girl?

And, on top of that, super cute. No, isn’t it too cute?

“Hehe, I have an interview appointment after this. My name is Yujin!”
