I no longer have a job at the Inoue's convenient store. Mantarou-han was kind enough to let me work just long enough for me to earn the amount of money I required to pay Koushiro-han back, but he fired me directly after that. Fired is a figure of speech humans use when one loses their job. I suppose it is the equivalent of being fired from cannon? Hmmm, what an odd expression...
Regardless,, I feel rather guilty. The reason I am no longer working there is because their family is low on money. They need as much money as possible, because the higher humans go in educating themselves, the more expensive it becomes. They need a great deal of money to provide for Miyako-han's education.
I have agreed to help out at the store, free of charge. It is the least I can do, after how kind Mantarou-han was to hire me. I just hope he will let me do this, instead of overworking himself. I suspect he is the type to do such a thing.
I wish I had money that I could give to the Inoue's. I tried to return the payment Mantarou-han gave me on Saturday, but he refused to take it. I will try and think of a way to help them further.
I must also think of a good time to give Koushiro-han the money. I am lucky that it has not become an issue in recent months. I am actually surprised it has not affected us more, in fact. But perhaps now we can have stable internet?
