Hang up.
From Create Your Own Story
"Haaah."
As soon as I hang up the phone, I let out a large sigh. Although I do it knowingly, speaking to the customers with ulterior motives is really annoying. Well, if it goes well, I'm sure to sell something so it's fine.
Your voice is so wonderful, I need to meet you no matter what!
Among the people who contact our shop by phone, there are an awful lot of guys who say that. They want to meet me when all they know is my voice... If I was a woman it would be better, but usually a guy wouldn't ask another guy something like that.
At first I could handle them well, but like anyone else would I became irritated when it kept happening. But it also became easier to entice customers to buy products. From then on, like the phone call just now, I could make even more sales. Strangely enough though, it doesnt happen in the actual shop.
Sometimes a customer actually comes to meet me after a telephone call, but I just play it off. They all end up leaving without noticing that I was the owner of that voice. Since there's not much harm done, I just think, "Well, whatever," and leave it be.
"Nnn... Gahh... The manager should be back soon."
I stretch out my arms wide and place my eyes on the digital clock on the counter. This shop provides a variety of things ranging from small expendable supplies to specialized metal parts at a bargain price. Junk Shop Heibon. I was attracted by the subtlety of the store name and started working here, I wonder how long it's been... Anyway, it was a long time ago.
"...Hm? A message, huh."
I was spacing out and had my elbow on the counter when the Coil on my arm rang. A Coil is something like a mobile phone, but it's much more convenient than just that. Phone calls, messaging, payments, identification, and of course watching TV can all be done with this one machine.
