Bamboo Forest Manager-Chapter 201: During The Part-Time Job
“Phew, I’m here. Sorry, the lecture ended a bit later than it’s supposed to.”
I enter the adult store and greet the bald man—no, the boss.
The boss, who was sitting at the counter, greeted me with a smile.
“You’re not really late, are you? You still have 5 minutes before your shift.”
“I should be here at least 10 minutes early.”
I promptly put on an apron.
Surprisingly, there was a mask and cotton gloves prepared at the counter.
At first, I thought it was because hygiene is important in a place dealing with adult products.
But actually, it’s more about the part-timers wanting to cover their faces with masks, and gloves are provided because some items look rather intimidating from the outside.
“Thank you. Keep up the good work.”
“Yep, but where are you going?”
It’s now 5 PM.
Since it’s the time when people are getting off work, I was curious about what the boss would do.
“I’m meeting a friend. I’ll be at a nearby cafe, so call me if there’s any problem.”
“Understood.”
The boss leaves, and I’m alone in the shop.
Now on my second day of part-time work.
Honestly, there’s nothing particularly impressive about it.
There aren’t that many customers, which makes me wonder how they manage to pay the part-time wages or rent.
The only thing that seems to sell well might be condoms.
‘These days, even condoms are sold at convenience stores.’
Perhaps that’s why the shop has a lot more niche items than condoms.
There are so many fascinating tools that I was honestly a bit surprised, and they’re more expensive than I expected.
“Yawn.”
So I thought today would just be another ordinary, uneventful day.
Creak.
“Ah, oppa! You’re such a pervert!”
“Hehe. We’re adults. We should explore places like this at least once.”
A familiar face that came inside.
Kang Han-kang enters, laughing with a woman I’ve never seen before by his side.
“Welcome.”
As I greet him warmly, Han-kang flinches and looks toward the counter.
“You… Do you like me?”
“Are you crazy? Here, they sell crappy things and only talk crap.”
For the record, it wasn’t an insult but a play on words because the store actually sells similar stuff.
But they didn’t take it very well over there.
“Oppa, who is he?”
“A junior from college. Just…just someone I know. We’ve only had drinks a few times.”
“Oh, you’ve got a new girlfriend already. When are you going to the army then?”
As I ask, resting my chin on my hand indifferently, the woman is startled and argues with me.
“Our oppa completed his full service, you know? The 12th Division?”
“That’s nonsense. He hasn’t even been to boot camp.”
“Oppa?”
“What are you saying?”
His girlfriend demands, confronting Han-kang.
Apparently, he had been lying about having completed his military service while dating her.
Honestly, he sure lives his life with some nerve.
“No, Jina! It’s not like that!”
“Enough, oppa. How could you lie about something like that?!”
Though it seems I have driven a customer away, I scored points for saving a woman’s time.
“Sigh, Kim Woojin, seriously.”
In the end, as his girlfriend exits the store, Han-kang smacks his forehead and grumbles.
Judging by his lack of pursuit, he wasn’t that serious about her after all.
“Looks like you’ll be lonely tonight, why not buy a male masturbatory toy? We have lots of interesting things here.”
“Are you crazy? I might as well go to a hunting bar or a club and enjoy a one-night stand. My reputation in the English department is weird enough already, and people avoid me!”
“There really are a lot of amazing things here, you know? Do you know Uihara Ai? They even have an onahole (Japanese sex toy based on vagina) modeled after that person.”
“…She was my first love.”
Damn, the guy suddenly got sentimental.
“Ah, right. She’s also hoping you’ll be her first.”
Strictly speaking, it’s a new onahole, so it’s not wrong, is it?
When Han-kang brought out a box with an AV actress on it, he gulped and handed over his card.
“You don’t sell the videos here separately, do you?”
“You know that’s illegal. Isn’t it? Anyway, we don’t sell them.”
Han-kang seemed a bit disappointed.
I wanted to give it to him in a clear plastic bag, but unfortunately, we didn’t have any here.
“Bag, please.”
Though he complained when I put it in a pink bag, Han-kang left the store anyway.
“Come again!”
Yes, I sold one item.
Isn’t that a good start?
Has it been about 30 minutes?
I was cleaning out of boredom when another customer walked in.
“Welcome.”
This time, someone came alone, and judging by the mask and short stature, it seemed to be a woman.
It’s not good to speak at times like this, so I naturally went to the counter and, with nothing much to do, looked down at my phone.
I was checking the Bamboo Forest that was gradually returning to normal after the freshman hate subsided.
“Um, excuse me.”
The woman standing in front of the counter cautiously called out to me.
“Yes?”
As I greeted her with a bright smile, she hesitated and asked in a small voice.
“Do you have anything like, um, that looks like a guy…?”
“Please come this way.”
When asked such a question, I should help. She seemed nervous, and the store is surprisingly spacious, so she might not have looked around properly.
I quickly went over to guide her to where the male-shaped dildos were and smiled again.
“Here they are. Is there anything else you need help with?”
“Th-the size…”
“Me?”
“No, no! I was wondering where the size is listed.”
Aha.
I see.
I thought she suddenly became bold with that question.
“If you look at the box here, it’s listed. If you haven’t used one before, it’s better to start with a smaller one.”
“Oh…”
“Or come this way. Rather than starting with those hideous ones, it’s better to stimulate the outside-”
About 30 minutes passed.
The woman bought a vibrating tool and a relatively small-sized dildo.
“Please visit us again!”
For some reason, she left in a rush, head bowed down, without saying a word.
‘Today’s success rate is good.’

It’s now 6:30.
Aren’t there more customers coming in than I expected?
Couples came by, and a man who looked somewhat dangerous came looking for the manager, among other things.
There was more to do here than I thought.
On top of that, there are quite a few people asking about items.
“Welcome.”
I thought another customer had come in.
“Ugh, you always work in places like this.”
Not a customer, but an acquaintance.
Yu Arin walked in, clicking her tongue, with her hands deep in her pockets and wearing a cap.
“Oh, what’s this. You’re still at school?”
“Played basketball with the kids, took a shower in your room, and now I’m on my way home.”
“…You were in my room?”
Though flustered, I smile as if nothing’s wrong.
“Yeah, your room. I also cleaned up a bit while I was at it. Empty the trash can regularly. It smells.”
“Ugh!”
Damn, I had a feeling…
These days, since the girls are too conscious of each other to do that kind of thing with me, I’ve been relying on porn recently.
I should have tidied up knowing the girls often come to the room, but I got distracted by the bike and forgot.
When I collapsed onto the counter in agony, Yu Arin patted my head to comfort me.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If it were used condoms or something, you’d be dead, but it’s just tissue.”
“Should I be grateful for that?”
“Of course. Anyway, show me around. This place is bigger than I thought?”
“Sigh.”
Since there weren’t any other customers, I decided to step out from behind the counter and give Yu Arin a tour of the interior.
“I noticed it’s divided into male and female sections. The middle part is for things both sides can use.”
“…Things both sides can use?”
“Don’t ask, I’m not really interested in that either.”
This girl quickly agreed upon seeing the panties with a male appendage and Yu Arin moved closer to my side.
“These items are really bizarre.”
“To be honest, some of them are a bit disgusting.”
“The items sold from the vice president at Gold One last time were nothing compared to these.”
“Well, yeah.”
Though it was the owner here who bought them.
“So, when you work here, is it just like a convenience store where you just check out items for customers?”
“I thought so. Surprisingly, a lot of people ask questions. I guess because these items aren’t common.”
“Hm, that makes sense.”
“So, it can be a bit difficult sometimes. No matter what, I haven’t tried all the products myself.”
“…Stop staring before I gouge your eyes out.”
“Ah, ahem.”
Did she catch me looking lecherously at her?
If Yu Arin had said something like “Really? You’re having a hard time?” I would have asked for help right away.
Well, I’m still explaining it simply.
Yu Arin, who somehow brought a dildo that was meant for display, and is poking my back with it.
“Why are you swinging that around?”
“Hmm? No…just. I thought it looked pretty ordinary compared to the others. It is quite ordinary.”
“Oh, that one.”
At first, I also thought it was kind of ambiguous, like Krillin among Super Saiyan.
“That one has a different purpose. Women use it when they masturbate, but-”
“Masturbate…”
A flustered expression at the explicit language. But I’m a part-time worker at an adult store.
I’m not the least bit embarrassed by this level.
It was work.
“It’s also used for practice. Like putting it in your mouth, or rolling it with your tongue, things like that.”
“Aha.”
“You absolutely ne- Keh!”
Yu Arin’s knee kick landed squarely on my solar plexus.
“I knew you were going to say that.”
“Ugh! You crazy woman! I was joking!”
“Joking, my foot! You meant it!”
Did she catch on?
“But! But! It’s a man’s dream!”
As I tried to justify it as some kind of instinct, Yu Arin pointed the dildo at me like a sword.
“It’s your fault in the first place! I have a small mouth and can’t even wrap meat well, but when it comes to yours-!”
Yu Arin, grumbling with annoyance, suddenly smirked as if something had occurred to her while looking at the dildo in her hand.
“Try it once, you bastard. See how overwhelming it is.”
“…What?”
Thud.
Yu Arin approached, clutching the dildo tightly, with nothing but pure malice in her expression.
“Open your mouth. I’ll make you experience how hard it is.”
“N-no!”
I hurriedly ran to get out of the store, but Yu Arin was a beat faster.
Caught at the entrance, I was pinned down by Yu Arin.
In a pounding position, Yu Arin grabbed the dildo with both hands and began to thrust it into my mouth.
“Open your mouth! You need to know how hard it is for us!”
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I got it! I’m sorry!”
“Shut up! 0.5 Woojin is going in!”
“I don’t want it! No! Please don’t!”
I was on the verge of tears trying to stop it, but the moment the dildo’s tip touched my lips…
Screech.
“Hello, I’ve come to deliver coffee to the staff here-”
Senior Ju-hee walked into the store holding coffee.
