Somethings wrong with that worker.

Day 1. ▇▇▇▇ 13, ▇▇▇▇

My alarm beeps. It's 3 am in the evening.

I open my eyes and stare at the pitch black sky through my apartment's window. Stars scattered and glistening as the crescent moon shines brightly among all of them.

I, a 26 year old guy. Moved here at Sakura Bay to live my own life after leaving my family back at my hometown. But I'm struggling to pay the rent, I don't have enough money to pay this week's rent. Horrible.

Who the fuck charges their tenants $800 as a weekly rent? That's more of a price of a monthly rent! I'd rather live in the slums than this apartment ran by a Landlord hungry for money to waste it all on a prostitute in one night.

But realistically, I wouldn't. So now I had to find a part time job for a few paychecks that can help my poor ass right now.

This week I got a golden mail out of nowhere by some chef named... Papa Louie. Not wasting a single second to just stand there, I grabbed the mail off the floor and tore it open to read it.

"Dear ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,

Congratulations!!!

You won a pre-opening tour of 

Papa's Sushiria!

Tour starts tomorrow at 9:00 am

Sincerely, 

Papa Louie"

The signature was hand written with a face of some man with a mustache and a chef hat next to it. Probably the Papa Louie guy.

...A pre-opening tour? Is this some sort of scam? How did he even find my address or know my name?? The name is ridiculous too. Papa's Sushiria? Sounds like a restaurant for people with daddy issues.

But to be honest. A pre-opening tour of a new restaurant in town is pretty sick and you're lucky if you got a mail for it, aside from the fact whoever this is, knows both my address and name. But I took the chance and decided to go.

I arrived at exactly 9:00 like it said on the letter. And I'll be damned. It wasn't a scam. It was an actual restaurant, I stared at it in awe, the design, the scenery, all of it. I didn't notice someone opening the door and was startled by surprise that I nearly tripped on some rocks and almost fell in the river, but luckily I managed to balance myself to avoid that. After fixing myself a bit I stared at the person at the door, it was Papa Louie himself. He was happy that I got on time for the tour and pulled me inside to show everything of the restaurant.

He was really showing me everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. he showed me the sushi squares, the station to cut up sushi and put toppings on it, the boba tea station and immediately showcased me how to use it and gave me the boba he made, it was matcha flavored. 

The tour ended and I went out waving at Papa Louie, but I didn't watch where I was going and broke a Lucky Cat Statue. I got a few shards all over my boots. What a waste, I spent around 1k for them. I stared at the man with an expression of fear and he quickly smiled and waved it off, pulling up a thumbs up too, he also told me that he'll buy a new one with the money from the opening day.

Odd. He should know that if he doesn't buy one immediately, then the opening won't be a success, did he just build a restaurant here without knowing anything about the Japanese lucky cat statues? By the looks of him, He seems to be an Italian. I don't wanna annoy him with reasons why the opening is gonna fail as a Japanese myself. But also, Why is he even gonna buy one using tips he will earn during the opening day too? I searched this dude up and this sushi restaurant is said to be his 13th restaurant. Why aren't you using your earnings from your other 12 restaurants?? Jesus. People really don't use their minds right before doing something like making a whole ass restaurant.

I decided I'll go back and check the next day and... I was right. It failed. 

I stared at Papa Louie who was all gloomy at the counter with an empty tip jar, but he still greeted me.

I stood behind the counter as I stare at the jar, empty. I looked back at him and spoke to break the silence.

"You should've had known you could've immediately bought one before opening the restaurant. Maybe you should go buy one right now and try again old man."

And that sparked Papa Louie, although he's a little mad I called him an old man. He was shuffling around something behind the counter and pulled out a pair of keys and a white headband with a sushi design.

He was giving me the fucking restaurant. Really? Giving the ownership of your new restaurant to some rando you invited ONLY for a pre-opening tour?? What a dick move honestly.

He quickly gave me both the keys and headband and dashed out of the restaurant after telling me that he'll buy a new one using the money I earn... I didn't ask to run a whole restaurant, I just moved here! And with the money I earn?? I'm struggling to pay my rent for gods sake!

"Bwisit Ka!"

I shouted at him while I gripped tightly at the stuff he gave me.

But now here I am. A college dropout who's the leader of some band called "CRUCIFIXX AND TERRORS" he made with his two ex boyfriends who are on good terms. Now an owner of a restaurant.

I get off the bed, fixing my bed-ridden hair as I prepare myself to take a shower. The sounds of the water running woke up my dog Cerberus. He ran to the bathroom and barked at me for minutes, but he gave up afterwards and just sat there on the floor patiently watching his owner naked showering, tilting his head a few times in curiosity.

I come out of the shower finished, drying myself and opening my closet to dress up.

I grabbed the worker uniform, it was left in the kitchen when I went in there the day I was given the ownership.

It's a black kimono with a green and salmon trim alongside a green apron with a sushi-designed "buckle", white headbands with the same sushi-design on the front and paired with black shoes with green laces and gray soles.

After putting it on. I grabbed my bag and restaurant keys and left my apartment on my bike. It's currently 4 am.

The cold air flows through me while riding to the restaurant, in a few minutes I arrived at approximately 4:14. I park my bike somewhere near the restaurant and went and unlocked the door to enter and prep things up before I officially open it.

The tables are covered in cloth, the counter is empty, and the ingredients are still inside the freezer and pantry.

A bit disappointing. But I need a good start today, I only have an hour before the sun fully rises. I drop my bag at a table I took off the cloth of. And started grabbing the rest of the clothing off the other tables, fixing the counter, and taking out the ingredients out of both the freezer and pantry and putting them inside containers.

After minutes of organizing things around and around. It's now 4:50. I stand behind the counter, waiting. Waiting.. Waiting..

Beep! Beep!
My alarm goes off. It's now 5:00. Time to open the restaurant.

Turning the sign hanging on the door now saying "We're open!" instead of the usual text saying "We're closed..".

It's time to earn some money.

And some dead bodies.
