"Hey chief~ can i get a one week vacation? I'll just attend a reunion meeting with the rest of StarGo"

"Sure, go ahead"

(Y/N) quietly cheered before seriously looking at her "You sure that's fine with you? Like... Me being gone for a week?" Shino immediately nodded with an embarrassed smile "You've been forced into a lot of stuff so... I figured you should get a break..."

He nodded back and spoke back with a cheerful voice "Well then~! D'ya want some souvenirs? Maybe a ticket of the new tour ~?"

"With the stockpile of work i have it'll probably be expired..."

"... I'll buy you a foot massager i guess" He said with a shrug as his cheerfulness diminished "That's random... Why a foot massager?" Shino took some time to piece out together a loose puzzle and gave him a confused look "Don't tell me you just like feet..."

He gave her a raised eyebrow, showing that she got the assumption wrong "Hey chief, Im not degenerate enough to beg for feet. Let alone be like you who literally made a student play as a dog for whatever reason"

And she was hit with an attack she struggled to defend with

"I-i told you that it's just a bet!" She attempted to lessen the damage

"Riiight, So getting stepped on by a maid is also a bet?" She couldn't move after the sudden surprise attack "W-wha?!? How did you-"

"Surprise surprise, the cafe you went to was actually a branch of StarGo! And guess who was the person that received a report about a specific someone th-"

"Okay! Alright! Stop! I get it!" Shino's word made him feel the adrenaline of victory "Fufufu, StarGo has a huge connection! Who knows... Maybe we own high end restaurant! Theatres! Even our own beach!"

"If you guys own those then why did you even apply here...?"

"I have no money! When did you think people get employed for something else?"

She stared at him unamused "What happened to the pay I gave you?" He stared back and spoke with a saddened tone "Repairs for my phone...."

"Oh...."

...

...

"W-wait... So How do you pay your fr-"

"They all have side-gigs to do and the bar is mostly spare time..."

She sweatdropped at him looking down on the ground as he sat and muttered "I'm the only person who wasn't getting money so I wanted to at least get a job to pay them...."His eyes seemed dead as he leaned back on the sofa "I'm pretty sure not paying them would be Illegal but they never told the police so I tried my hardest to get more money...."

"R-right..." was the only word she could respond before trying to lighten his mood up "W-well, Good luck out there! Don't catch a cold out there so you-"

"Sensei! (Y/N)-san! Good Morning!"

Arona materialized in front of the two, before she tilted her head at him "eh...? Are you alright, (Y/N)-san?"

"Senpai... How much do you get paid...?"

"Eh?! Uhm... I... Hm... Sensei and (Y/N)-san's attendance is enough for me as a Pay!" The Ai cheered,  causing him to slam his desk "Bullshit! You can't be that nice!  I bet you're hiding something from me!" The angry man pointed at Arona, Who was confused at this point "Eh? What do you-"

"Like, You give her something  about 9 blues and 1 gold dupe for 10 pulls straight if we put it in gacha terms! Surely you do such a heinous crime!"

"That's got to be the weirdest way of saying my luck is bad.... How did you know that's true though....?"
