Synopsis:
Once a week, Miyagi pays her fellow classmate, Sendai, five-thousand yen.
In exchange for that five-thousand yen, Miyagi is given three hours of Sendai’s time, as well as the right to issue “orders” to her.
At school, Miyagi sits at the bottom of the school caste, while Sendai occupies the top. Although neither of them interact with each other at school, they are able to spend time together through this arrangement that they established.
Miyagi’s orders are entirely based on how she feels that day, and Sendai has no choice but to obey them.
One day, after school…
Miyagi brings Sendai around to her room and gives her an order completely unlike the other orders she’s issued before.
Table of Contents:
Please note: The story is told from both Miyagi and Sendai’s perspectives. I’ll try to label each part appropriately, hopefully making it easier for people that might want to look up certain parts of the story. I am only translating the web novel.
Also, the parts are labeled and separated like how it is seen on the original web novel, which you can find here (you will be taken to Kakuyomu).

Interested in supporting the author?
First things first, I would like to mention that the translations being hosted here are for the web novel. The light novel is currently behind compared to the web novel, but it includes illustrations, and a handful of edits were made to the story (primarily things like sentence structure, vocabulary usage and differences in how some scenes play out).
This work is currently NOT licensed for an English release, so the links I’m providing below are in Japanese only. For digital releases, I personally prefer cmoa.jp over Amazon because it supports my foreign (i.e. not Japanese) payment method and does not require a VPN. The downside is that the entire site is written in Japanese.
