“Speaking of which, shouldn't I burn incense before writing my diary next time? Maybe I just didn't offer any offerings today, which is why I wasn't very sincere.”
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed that way. Amamiya Ren decided to finish writing his diary early tomorrow morning, then burn incense and take a bath, and get ready in the best state of mind to draw his prize.
Maybe he'll hit the jackpot.
Suddenly, Amamiya Ren remembered something, tomorrow was the weekend, which meant it was his day to work.
“Let me see.”
He took out his phone and checked his schedule. Sure enough, tomorrow was his workday, and it was at a place he didn't really want to go.
“Dorobiga Paradise’s mascot job…that place where Death and the Unicorn often meet, and a place where things often go wrong.”
“I really don't want to go.”
Amamiya Ren had completely forgotten the details of Conan's story in the past sixteen years of his life, but the tragic opening of Dorobiga Paradise still lingered in his mind.
After all, the opening decapitation case was quite memorable.
But this job couldn't be avoided.
Because the client's money was really good this time.
Eight hours of work a day, and the pay for eight hours was 100,000 yen, which is about 12,500 yen per hour, a pretty high salary.
In fact, if it weren't for the tempting salary, Amamiya Ren would have jumped at the chance to skip the Dorobiga Paradise job.
“Forget it, money is still the best.”
“It's worth making a little sacrifice for money.”
100,000 yen might be a small amount of money for an ordinary family, but it's a considerable amount of money for a family that has to make every penny count.
Although Dorobiga Paradise is risky, there’s no way he’d be that unlucky. For the sake of money, Amamiya Ren didn’t believe that there would be any problems with his job at Dorobiga Paradise this time.
Having made his decision, he continued to scroll through his phone to check out the details about the job.
“Wear a specific costume to hand out balloons to children, and take photos with guests.”
“Mascot costume? It’s probably big and heavy. The weather is okay now, but it’s probably going to be very tiring wearing that kind of costume. I should go to bed early today.”
As a worker, Amamiya Ren was always aware of the importance of preserving his work energy.
There was nothing else to research today, he could just go to sleep.
Putting his phone on the nightstand, Amamiya Ren lay down in bed and drifted off to sleep.
Amamiya Ren had developed a habit of going to bed early every day.
He never went to bed later than 10 pm, and this time was perfect for going to sleep.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise, that’s one thing, and another is this apartment.
You know, the best rental apartments in Beika City are not those that look glamorous from the outside.
Rental apartments that are beautiful, well-decorated, well-lit and cheap usually have very serious murder cases.
In Beika City, murder houses are the cheapest houses, you can only get them if you’re tough enough.
The apartment Amamiya Ren rented was 120 square meters, with top-notch decoration, and it was on the high floor of a high-end apartment building, with a monthly rent of only 10,000 yen, and even water and electricity were free.
But the rent was so cheap, that meant the murder case that happened in this apartment was really big.
Well, simply put, there are three spirit rings in the apartment.
Originally, Amamiya Ren didn’t dare to rent it, but he couldn’t resist the price, which was ridiculously cheap, and water and electricity were free.
It was because of this ridiculously cheap rent that Amamiya Ren rented it for two years.
Last year was the first year, and this year is the second year.
But luckily, he’d been going to bed early and getting up early for the past year, making sure he didn’t interact with the spirit rings at the same time.
He actively avoided the same time, and that’s why he could live so peacefully for the past year.
The next day.
The second day was a fine day with clear skies.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to greet the spirit rings in his apartment.
“Good morning, it seems we've had another peaceful day.”
After a simple preparation, Amamiya Ren went out with his bag.
Dorobiga Paradise is one of the largest amusement parks in Beika City, with many zones and plenty of places to visit.
Because of the huge number of tourists every day, it’s also a great place to work.
Well, it seems that way to many people, but Amamiya Ren still maintained a certain level of vigilance.
After all, a large-scale building like this is always easy to attract death.
After arriving at the entrance of Dorobiga Paradise, he registered according to the rules and was let into the park.
After all, many of the workers at Dorobiga Paradise had already made their reports in advance, otherwise they would have to make phone calls one by one the next day.
After entering the park, the first thing Amamiya Ren did was go to his workplace and contact his boss.
“Nice to meet you, Amamiya.”
The female manager looked very kind, about thirty years old, probably because she had been working hard, the marks of aging on her face were already noticeable.
It’s an ice cream shop with a certain scale.
Speaking of which, these shops are quite profitable in amusement parks.
Amamiya Ren bowed slightly.
“Hello.”
The female manager looked at Amamiya Ren, who had nothing else to say, and felt relieved instead.
“Just like I heard, you're not good with words. But that's okay, that’s what I need, someone who's not good with words. People who talk too much are not good at playing mascots.”
Amamiya Ren understood this, his unfamiliarity with words was actually a good thing for this job.
“I won't say anything else, let me tell you about your work time and work content.”
The female manager got straight to the point and introduced the job content to Amamiya Ren.
“The morning shift is from 9:00 to 12:00, then there is a lunch break. You can have lunch and rest during this time. The afternoon shift is from 1:30 to 6:30.”
“Your job is to hand out some flyers, give some balloons to children, and take pictures with guests. Got it?”
The work content and time were clearly stated, Amamiya Ren nodded slightly.
“Understood.”
The female manager looked at the time, there was still a while before work started.
“It's not time for work yet, you can go to the changing room and put your things away, try on the mascot costume.”
Amamiya Ren didn’t object, and followed the instructions to the changing room in the back.
There were several large mascot costumes hanging in the changing room, in different sizes, presumably to suit different heights.
Amamiya Ren chose a mascot costume he liked, a mouse mascot wearing a hat, with big eyes and a puffed-up mouth, it looked very cute, it should be the kind of mascot kids like.
“I hope my job today doesn’t have too many accidents.”
