Shino Miyagi stopped walking slowly and quietly watched the girl work.
This was not the first time he had seen this girl. Ever since he first chose this path to run, he could see her every day at this time in this place.
Should he say that he and this young girl were very meticulous in their time planning, even to the point of being precise to the minute?
She was wearing a staff uniform that was a little too big. The girl looked a little bloated in it. She wore a cap on her head and her hands were wearing rubber gloves. She was sorting the trash in the trash can and tying the straps.
She was a little petite, even shorter than Mashiro. For some reason, Japanese women were always petite.
Shino Miyagi just quietly watched the girl's efforts.
In the past, he would only casually glance at this place before slowly walking away. Today, for some reason, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
After sorting all the garbage, the girl struggled to carry the bag and prepared to put it in the garbage collection area at the side, waiting for the truck to come and take it away.
Shino Miyagi approached the girl step by step. Perhaps she was focused on her work, but she did not notice that there was someone behind her.
"You've worked hard. Do you need help?”
He stopped when he was two steps away from the girl. As a stranger, getting too close to her would make one wary.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey??"
The girl was shocked. She threw the thing in her hand on the ground in a panic and jumped like a rabbit. She turned around and shook her rubber-gloved hand.
"No, there's no need! Thank you very much!"
The young girl rejected him in a panic without even seeing his face. Perhaps she was too frightened, her voice and tone had changed.
"Hmm? Kansai people?"
Hearing the girl's voice, Shingo Jingu asked in surprise, as if he had heard a dialect in China.
"Yes, yes! I'm from Osaka!"
The girl was a little nervous, and her tone suddenly became very strange. It sounded like a Kansai accent, but also like a Kanto accent.
This was the first time that Shino Miyagi saw the girl's face.
She was very beautiful, but not the particularly stunning type. However, if one looked closely, they would find that the girl was more and more attractive. Her fair face was red, and because of nervousness, her blood was surging.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?”
Sho Miyagu quickly shook his hand at her and said very politely.
"No, no, no. I was too nervous.”
The young girl took a deep breath and her tone calmed down. The Kansai accent was gone.
"Ah, please wait a moment. I'll carry this trash over.”
She hurriedly glanced at the trash bag at her feet and quickly bent down to grab it, lifting it to the side with difficulty.
"Let me help."
As Shino Miyagi spoke, he approached the girl and bent down to take something from her.
"No!"
However, what surprised Shino Miyagi was that the girl in front of him subconsciously used her hand to block it, and her fair and tender hand accidentally hit the back of his hand.
"S-sorry!"
Realizing that her behavior was very rude, the girl's nervous words carried a strange tone.
"It's okay, it's okay. I went overboard. I'll wait for you here."
At this time, Shino Miyagi was somewhat enlightened. This was a person who completed everything by himself and never asked others for help. He was very independent.
Usually, such people would not ask for help from others unless they had no other choice.
After getting to know the person in front of him, Shino Miyagi didn't want to be too nosy. If he was too enthusiastic about a stranger, it would backfire.
A hint of admiration flashed across Shino Miyagi's eyes as he watched the young girl laboriously move the trash over.
The reason why he tried to strike up a conversation with the girl was not because he had fallen in love with her. It was because he felt a sense of empathy when he saw the girl's hardworking back.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect the trash to be so heavy today. It wasn't like this before.”
Finally, after moving the things over, the girl ran over. She took off the dirty rubber gloves and was about to wipe her forehead with the back of her hand. A few strands of bangs were already stuck to the sweat on her forehead.
Her hair was not pure black, but more like brown. However, it seemed that the girl did not dye her hair, but a natural color.
The girl who was about to wipe the sweat off her forehead suddenly froze. A tissue was handed over to her.
She raised her head and looked at Shino Miyagi. Her actions were a little hesitant.
"Use a tissue!"
After hesitating for a moment, the girl realized that the tissue was not something expensive, so she took it and thanked him softly.
"Do you live nearby?"
He looked around. Due to the lack of time, people who woke up early for work gradually appeared on the streets.
"Ah, no, I live in the school dormitory. I just woke up early to help out here.”
The girl wiped the sweat off her head with a tissue and said with a smile.
Her smile was very infectious. It was a kind of determination to fight for her goal. From this point of view, she was very similar to Mashiro.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work, but since you're coming to Tokyo from Osaka to study, this place doesn't seem suitable. There aren't any famous schools nearby ~"
Sho Miyagi said with a smile.
Nerima District was a remote area in Tokyo. Although the two schools nearby were not bad, they were not particularly famous.
"Because it's cheap here!"
The girl smiled brightly, not embarrassed at all.
Most people would never reveal their financial situation for the sake of their reputation, especially when it came to cleaning up trash. Many people were unwilling to do so, but the young girl in front of him was very generous when she said this. She did not look like she was embarrassed at all.
Shino Miyagi had a better impression of her.
This was an era where the poor were laughed at and prostitutes were laughed at. The idea of 'labor is the most glorious' was already rare.
"This…senior?"
She looked at Shino Miyagi. Although Shino Miyagi looked a little mature, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was still young.
"I've noticed that you often run in the morning.”
"Eh? Is that so…I often see you working here.”
Shino Miyagi was slightly surprised, but he said with a smile.
