Ryu trudged along the main street, the weight of his mission hanging heavy on his shoulders. The prospect of spending the next few hours watching over a store didn't exactly fill him with excitement, but duty called, and he had no choice but to answer. Approaching the shop with its bright pink windows, Ryu couldn't help but grimace at the thought of what awaited him inside. As he pushed open the door, a bell chimed overhead, announcing his arrival to the owner. "Ah, you must be Ryu," the owner said with a warm smile. "I appreciate you stepping in to watch the store while I'm out. I left a list with a rundown of what you'll need to do."
Ryu nodded, barely able to muster a smile in return as he listened to the owner's instructions. He was to keep the store open for the next three hours, serving any customers who came through the door and ensuring everything ran smoothly in the owner's absence. With a parting pat on the shoulder, the owner left Ryu alone in the store, the quietness of the space enveloping him like a heavy blanket. He glanced around, taking in the rows of shelves neatly stocked with goods of all kinds. For the first hour, Ryu found himself idly wandering the aisles, straightening products that didn't need straightening and dusting off shelves that were already clean.
The minutes ticked by agonizingly slowly, each one dragging on as if time itself had decided to take a nap. Finally, the sound of the doorbell broke the silence, signaling the arrival of a customer. Ryu snapped to attention, plastering a smile on his face as he greeted them. "Welcome in, it's so nice to see you! Is there anything I can help you find today?" he asked, trying to inject some enthusiasm into his voice. The customer, a middle-aged man in search of a few household essentials, browsed the aisles while Ryu stood behind the counter, ready to assist as needed. He fetched items from the shelves, rang up purchases at the cash register, and even engaged in polite small talk, all the while counting down the minutes until his shift would be over.
As the second hour passed by, more customers trickled in and out of the store, each one greeted with Ryu's friendly smile and obliging assistance. Despite his initial reluctance, Ryu found himself becoming more engaged in the task at hand, taking pride in ensuring that each customer left satisfied with their purchases. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the owner returned to take over the store once again. He thanked Ryu for his help and handed over the payment of 10,000 Ryo. Ryu accepted the payment with a nod of thanks, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over him despite the simplicity of the task. As he stepped out of the store and into the fading light of the evening, he couldn't wait to get home and relax.
