Y/n POV

I've been trying to make money but I instead wasted my energy on something so nonchalant like relaxing on a particular skyscraper, looking all lonely and weird. Speaking of skyscraper, I've never seen something so tall before, sure, I've gone to many places, but one thing for sure, ain't no way this city isn't affected by something anomalous yet. I can't tell what is it other than it being honkai, though I've read something about someone somewhere before.

After sometime, I decided to go back on the busy streets and try find a job. I don't wanna be jobless while trying to support a walking living tuna. Now now, isn't that bullying that I just did? Whatever, so as I was saying...

I bumped into some random person on the road while continuously thinking about money.

"Sorry sir." I apologized while helping him back up.

"No problem."

The man responded, while sighing. He seems to be thinking real hard about a particular thing. He got a headache? I hope not. The man glanced at me for a bit and place his hand to hold his chin. I hope I'm not in trouble, I thought.

"Kid, are you perhaps looking for a job?" 

Impossible! How could he had known?! Unless... he's a stalker! He dare stalk on me and Kiana?

"Yes. How could you had known?" I asked.

"Heh, you think I couldn't differentiate between a broke and normal person?"

Hey hey! That's insulting.

"I see...then what is it that you wanted to say?"

"Are you willing to take up on this job?"

A job? What kind of job? What job? As long as it doesn't involve my personal life, I would definitely take it. I must also not forget about Kiana and the amount I'm paid if I took on this job.

"What job?" I asked, calmly.

"A simple job that only requires the person to have good taste on music."

That doesn't sound hard. Although it would depend on should I trust him? I mean, it's not like I have a choice. But, another thing is, do I have what it takes to have a good taste in music?

"Doesn't sound hard... Alright! I'll take it!" I said.

"Great!" "Let's hope he last for at least one session." The man muttered quietly.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

I definitely heard something, but who cares? I got a job! And I'm happy to embrace it. The future shall be bright with all the money I could have. Hold on, I haven't thought on asking about the cash.

"Excuse me sir." 

"Yes?"

"I believe you haven't told me how much I could gain by doing this job?"

"Hmm, I was planning to tell you later when we got in, but now that you ask, I suppose it's fine to tell you."

I was hoping to have at least an average or good salary to support my daily lives. Living as a poor person is bad enough, living as a low salary person is probably worse, cause knowing you have money but is still poor is not good. So, as a reminder to myself, immediately ran if the salary is low.

"It's around ##### to ######. Are you satisfied?"

He asked as if thinks I'm going to be surprised by such amount of money. Hold on...that much?! That could support me for an entire year is I don't misuse it. Either way, it's a lotta money. Of course I'm taking this job now! But this makes me annoyed cause a job as a DJ shouldn't be hard.
