The Tsundere-Type Office Lady Makes a Toast

"Number one?"

"Yeah! Yusei and Yusuke are neck and neck right now!"

It was the last Friday of the month.

As usual, I came to Festa, the boys' bar where I worked part-time, and was changing in the locker room when my senior coworkers brought up the subject.

A boy's pay varied according to how much he sold, on top of his hourly wage.

The customers' bills didn't actually include the cost of the drinks the boys ordered. The boys' bar stayed in business by having the customers cover that expense.

The boys' job was to get customers to buy expensive drinks and contribute to the bar's sales... Which meant I was useless when it came to boosting sales, since I couldn't drink alcohol.

And the boy with the highest sales that month became the bar's number one.

Becoming number one didn't mean your pay went up by a certain amount, but the sales figures were posted in the back, and regular customers knew about them.

It seemed to be a kind of industry jargon...
