I started working for the previous Witch at 15, and inherited her shop at 17.
[That didn't technically answer Dazai's question, but Watanuki looked to be about 17 or 18, so maybe it did?]
The previous Witch had this shop for a very, very long time though. Many of my customers are previous customers of hers. They still call me 'newbie' sometimes.
[With the bird gone, Watanuki set the pipe aside in favor of pouring some tea. He poured two cups and left one on Dazai's side of the tray, while he picked up his own to drink from. After a small sip, he spoke again.]
If I may ask, what drew your attention to this shop in the first place?
