Not long after Yuuki Mami came out, the office door creaked again.
Kato Yusuke turned around and found that Takada Shiori was coming this time.
"Anything?" he asked, tilting his head.
"...there's nothing special either."
Takada Shiori said with her hands behind her back, looking for something to say.
"By the way, your school took the exam earlier, are you ... are you okay?"
"It's okay." Kato Yusuke gave him a strange look: "After all, this is just a freshman in high school, maybe easier than you guys."
"Isaac ... Haha, that's what I said."
Takada Shirou laughed awkwardly, then lowered his head and fell silent.
An indescribable atmosphere encompassed the office.
Seeing Shiori Takada standing still, Yusuke Kato could not help but recall his conversation with Uncle Tanaka.
He paused for a moment and said, "By the way, Takada, is the inspector you mentioned just now here?"
“Hah?” Takada Shiori raised her head, thought about it, and said, “I don't think so.. Because I asked for a leave after you asked for a leave, so I wasn't very clear about what happened next. .."
“But according to Mr. Tanaka, that person rarely comes to the store lately, it seems like he is very busy.” He pressed his index finger against his lower lip, “Could it be... on his plan to expel you?"
A pair of eyes lit up suddenly, but quickly poured a basin filled with cold water.
“Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible.” Kato Yusuke shook his head and said.
"You've seen what I did to him. Frankly, I was surprised he didn't do anything for so long. As for giving up ... it is better not to report such thoughts, even though I do not regret them."
A faint smile surfaced on her face, her angled face overlapping with the sunsets sloping west outside the window, leaving Shiori Takata a little dazzled.
"No."
"Huh, ah? Hm." Takada Shiori realized, "What's wrong?"
"Anyway, thank you." Kato Yusuke said: "This is for you, thank you."
He threw something at Shiori Takada.
"Hey, hey, wow! Don't throw rubbish!"
Pooh~
The metal cans rolled over on the sponge cake several times, but were eventually taken by Takada Shiro.
"...Satirize," he whispered.
Kato Yusuke's expression immediately became strange, and he cleared his throat and said, "Cough.sorry, that's force majeure."
Violet's eyes lightly glanced towards the other party, and Takada Shiori snorted, then looked at the object in her hand.
"... Red Bull?"
he murmured, his eyes unexplainable.
"Is this from Miss Yuuki?"
“He also gave it to you?” Kato Yusuke asked in surprise.
The two looked at each other.
After a few seconds of silence
Takata Shiori could not help but laugh: "You are truly insincere in giving someone else's things as gifts."
"Uh." Kato Yusuke touched his nose and said with a hint of embarrassment: "That's right, then I'll buy you a new one.
After saying that, he stepped forward and was about to take back the can of Red Bull, but was thwarted by Takada Shiori.
Kato Yusuke looked over suspiciously.
"Forget it this time." Takada Shiori said, and then changed her words, "But please come back again next time!"
Kato Yusuke nodded: "OK."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the sort of grudge in their hearts slowly faded away.
(This is a settlement agreement with Mr. Tanaka.)
Kato Yusuke thought to himself.
In the afternoon, Uncle Tanaka, who had come to change shifts, saw two people who were communicating again, and a friendly smile like an old father appeared on his face.
“Ah, ah, seeing you guys make peace like you used to, I feel comfortable, uncle.” He said with a smile.
instead it was a cruel mockery.
"What, such a tone." Takada Shiori frowned, "Are you from the Showa era? Mr. Tanaka."
"Indeed." Kato Yusuke added his knife, "And he also likes to worry."
“Ahaha, is that it?” Uncle Tanaka smiled indifferently and looked at the handcuffs of Kato Yusuke, “Kato, why are your clothes wet?”
“Hah?” Takada Shiori also looked back.
Sure enough, the black uniform cuff seemed wet by the water, wet, and there were still rub marks on them.
"Oh." Kato Yusuke shook his slightly white hand, and said casually: "I just got some water."
"By the way, you went to the bathroom for a long time." Takada Shiori looked up suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Kato Yusuke shook his head, then looked at Tanaka, "Master Tanaka, did you meet the newcomer?"
"It seems I've heard of this, how? Does that look funny?"
"It's more of a personality than a cute one, and Takada is currently guiding her."
"That's very interesting, come on, Takada."
"Huh? Just a minute." Takada Shiori asked puzzledly, "Why do you assume that your target is a girl?"
“Yeah, hahaha, maybe that's the case.” Uncle Tanaka glanced at Kato Yusuke, “Really? Kato.”
Kato Yusuke shrugged and said indifferently, "Well, that's all."
"So what's that like?"
Takada Shiori looked at the two of them angrily.
--Sharing line--
When night falls, the lights are on.
Friday night was more lively than usual. In the streets and alleys, there are izakaya, grilled bird restaurants, and barbecue restaurants, and crowds of people can be seen everywhere.
His alcohol-stained face was filled with enthusiasm for the weekend, and he poured a cup of beer into his mouth as if he didn't need money.
Everyone let go of themselves completely, and only at this moment could they see a little more truth in their eyes.
Kato Yusuke, who was walking down the street, watched this scene quietly, as if he was enjoying a human theater.
(Tell him, don't come out too late.)
Thinking of things related to cohabitation made him subconsciously ignore his surrounding environment until—
"Not evil...!"
A dry sound of vomiting entered his ears.
"I said you drank too much."
Kato Yusuke raised his head and saw two men in suits standing under a telephone pole not far away.
One of them was a little careless. At this moment, he was propping up the wall with one hand, bending over and vomiting continuously, and there was a companion standing beside him.
"Don't push yourself too hard, Yoshida," said his friend, patting the other person on the back with his hand.
"Hey, long-winded..." The drunken man said faintly: "You, you have seen it too, Miss Goto is drunk ... I would never allow this kind of thing .. woohoo!"
"Yes yes, yes..." His colleague said half helplessly, half in awe, "You're completely infatuated... Huh uh?"
It seemed like he was aware of this gaze, and the glasses man turned his head and met Kato Yusuke's gaze.
With an apologetic expression on his face, a slight nod at Kato Yusuke.
Kato Yusuke nodded, then withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward nonstop.
As he passed by, he also heard the name of another man.
"Thank you ..." The drunk man wiped the dirt on the corner of his mouth and said.
"Gilan."
