I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life,

Chapter 9

9.The school caste rank has increased.

“Hey, hey, Nihama, you got a minute?"

While Ginji and I were eating lunch in the classroom during lunch break, we were called out by a girl in our class named Fumihashi. She is an athletic girl with a short haircut who has a cheerful personality, but disappointing grades.

“Oh, what’s the matter, Fumihashi-san?

“Oh, no, that ……, please! Nihama, lend me your notebook! That perfect notebook that Goto-sensei praised so much during the last class!”

“Oh, Fumihashi-san, you’ve been sleeping a lot in Goto-sensei’s class, maybe because you’re tired from club activities? I think you’re in trouble because the note check is coming soon.”

“Yes! It’ s embarrassing, but you’re absolutely right! Please, please!”

“Hmmm, …… then, in exchange with a strawberry milk from the vending machine in front of the store.”

“Got it! I’ll buy you a drink later!”

It’s okay to lend them out, but if you lend them out for free, there might be a lot of other people who want to borrow them, so you have to charge a certain fee.

When you sell a favor cheaply, there is nothing but tragedy.

“Then we have a deal. But please try not to borrow again next time.”

“Oh, I’ m saved………! Thank you so much!”

I handed her the notebook and she went back to her seat with a delightful look on her face.

” Hmm, Nihama. Do you have a second?”

As if he was waiting for me to finish, Tsukamoto from the baseball team approached me.

“She heard my ringtone that you set the other day and she wants to use the same one. But I don’t know anything about cell phones. ……”

“Yeah, I’ll set it up next time just bring her phone over.”

“Oh, thank you so much! I’ll buy you bread from the store next time!”

Tsukamoto left with a rather relieved look on his face, perhaps because his girlfriend had been urging him to do so.

I missed ringtones though. They were so popular during the cellular phone era, but why did we stop hearing them so much in the smartphone era?

“You …… are seriously moving up in the ranks”.

“What? Ranks?”

I blinked my eyes, not understanding the meaning of the words that Ginji muttered with a mysterious look on his face.

“It’s the rank of the school caste. You used to be in the bottom ranks like me, but now your popularity points have increased and you’re in the middle ranks, maybe even higher.”

“No, no, no, ……, that kind of division doesn’t change that often.”

“Normally. But your change is not normal.”

Well, a high school student who has experienced years of company-slave life is not normal in a bad way.

“You started to look better,feel more comfortable talking to people, became very good with cell phones and computers, and often helped people. And then there is the case with Hino, It’s rumored that you yelled at a Yankee in front of the public and got him to wipe his ass.”

“Well, I’m aware that I’ve changed a little, but the incident with Hino was his fault because he tried to take my wallet. Anyone would have lost their temper if he did that.”
