The Villainess is my Boss

Chapter 58: Third date, part 2

Since Tomoka always drives me to work and back in her car, I never walked around here on foot. Hopefully we will not get lost.

(If I remember correctly one convenience store was not too far away from here... to the left. So we should now go to the right...)

„Let's go this way. I then need to buy some milk for the boss on the way back."

We walked for about 20 minutes and then turned left... and also again at the next crossroads.

(So now we should be somewhere behind our house.)

While walking, parents kept commenting various objects along the road or were curious about my job.

„Are there any good looking boys?", asked mother.

(Ahh, we are here again.)

„Yes, but I don't like any one of them."

„Mmm... I see."

We continued walking for a while and then turned left once more.

„Now we should be somewhere near the store..."

„Mmm..."

„Or we might be also lost."

„If you get lost, return back in your steps.", father gave me an advice.

„Mmm... but from where we got here?"

„I don't know. This is your home."

I looked around and noticed two men, standing at the edge of one house and an old bent woman, slowly walking behind us.

(Those men look suspiciously. What would Tomoka do?)

„Arisa, what about calling your boss?", said mother.

„Oh! That is a good idea."

I tried to call Tomoka, but her phone was unreachable.

(Did her battery die?)

„Are you lost, my children?"

The old woman arrived to our location and started to talk.

„Hello. Yes, we are looking for a convenience store."

„Shore?"

„No. Convenience store."

„Ahh, I see... follow me."

The woman was walking very slowly and we followed her.

„Are you from far away?"

„I moved to this location recently and my parents came to visit me."

„And where do you live, my child?"

The woman was quite inquisitive, but I didn't mind it.

„I live with a roommate."

„Maybe you know her... Akihara-san.", uttered father.

„Oh, Tomoka-chan... of course I know her. She is very kind and helped me many times.", replied the woman.

„If you live with her than you are very lucky and she must like you a lot."

„She is my boss at work and I like her too."

„Mmm... That is good."

„Oh... look, we are almost there. Just go this way and you can't miss it."

The old woman pointed at a building in the distance.

„Thank you very much."

„No problem. You are also kind girl... Tomoka-chan is surely happy to have you... by her side."
