As time passed, a week quietly slipped by.
On the second day that Kuguchi Sonoka became a kitchen assistant, Sosuke completed the task of increasing customer traffic to 500 people within 48 hours, earning some rewards.
During this period, the Izakaya continued to experience various emotions and events.
But compared to before, it was indeed much more peaceful.
In the early morning, looking to the east, the entire sky was still immersed in the hazy twilight, mixed with some light orange and pink clouds.
At Polar Star Dormitory, everyone was busy packing their luggage, preparing to head to the square where the large buses were located.
"Megumi, you need to hurry!"
"I heard the bus leaves at 7 o'clock sharp, so there's not much time left!"
Sakaki Ryoko was anxiously waiting in the lobby on the first floor.
"Alright, I'm coming right away."
From room 302 upstairs, an echo quickly came, followed by a thumping and banging sound.
Soon after, Tadokoro Megumi finally rushed down, nervously carrying her suitcase, looking anxious as she stood before everyone: "Sorry, I had a lot of things to prepare, and I made everyone wait."
"It's fine, let's hurry and go."
Sakaki Ryoko shook her head, indicating she didn't need to apologize, then turned and left first.
"Senior, since we won't be here during this time, we'll trouble you to look after Polar Star Dormitory."
At the moment of departure, another resident, Yoshino Yuki, seemed a bit reluctant.
"Don't worry."
"With me here, Polar Star Dormitory won't have too many problems."
After speaking, Isshiki Satoshi looked at Yoshino Yuki with some emotion, his eyes becoming hazy.
He seemed to be recalling the scene from last year when he also participated in the Practical Training.
Finally, the remaining two girls, Yoshino Yuki and Tadokoro Megumi, left.
And looking at their gradually receding figures, Isshiki Satoshi could only sigh deeply.
How cruel was the Practical Training?
As someone who had gone through it, he certainly understood it deeply.
Therefore, he could only pray to the heavens, hoping that each of them would survive that cruel training activity!
…
Soon after Tadokoro Megumi and the others left, a middle-aged man with a travel bag on his back arrived at the entrance of Polar Star Dormitory.
He looked up at the aging building, its slightly gloomy atmosphere, and the desolation of its surroundings, which made him pause, thinking to himself:
It's been over 20 years, hasn't it?
As expected, everything has long since changed.
Perhaps after I dropped out, this Polar Star Dormitory never had its glory again!
After a long while, he finally composed his complex thoughts, hesitated briefly, then stepped forward to press the doorbell.
"Who is it?"
"Is it Megumi?"
"I just saw you rushing around, did you leave something behind again?"
