This guy here does night shifts at a convenience store. It’s a bad job in a good way, I mean, it’s so dead that almost no customers come, so he just sleeps in the back the whole time.

Out of a nine-hour shift, he sleeps about seven hours and gets a little over ten thousand yen, just for sleeping, without really having to work.

A late-night convenience store where absolutely no one comes. Which area is that in, which neighborhood?

Uh… the convenience store doesn’t really get customers, only this AD-san comes.

He’s totally exhausted and busy. The last part of our part-time job survey is about this man.

I asked him, “Got any good paying part-time gigs?” and he said “dakochetei.” He does this thing called rental “dakochetei.”

Dakochetei, yeah, I’m the dakochetei. I do this thing called dakochetei, where I eat meals together with someone and get paid.

It’s like being a rental boyfriend. Today, with that, I came from Kagoshima to Tokyo.

They told me, “If you come to Tokyo and go on a date with me, I’ll give you 200,000 yen.” I was like, 200,000? We were messaging in a game and they said, “I’ll give you 200,000, so go on a real date with me.”

Like that, but

This morning, around then—sorry, I suddenly hit 37.8 degrees

But I’m staying positive about this, since I have no other income, it feels like a kind of gamble

If you’re going to bet ten thousand on pachinko, isn’t this kind of “you might get something” option more likely?

There’s a slim chance… though somehow I feel like pachinko actually has better odds

So you don’t do real-life gambling? I just did some a moment ago

That pachinko

That concludes my deterrent-style independent research project
