Secret Police Agent

Hana

At Claire's.

A short yellowish straggled girl carried a few bags of bags. He walked happily to his old friend's house.

Ting...

The bell rang, Hana, she's visiting her best friend's house. But he did not come at the right time. His best friend is on a dangerous mission in another city.

"Who?" claire's mother opened the door.

"Hana?!! long time no see" she knew Claire's best friend. Then Claire's mother grabbed him.

"Auntie, nice to meet you"

"Ah you must be here to see Claire, right?"

"really so. Is she at aunt's?"

"Unfortunately, in the company where she works, Claire is transferred to the capital"

"Capital? hasn't there been a mass bomb explosion recently?"

"Yes, at first the aunt also did not allow it but. indeed the aunt admitted she was stubborn and so reckless"

"Haha. I understand what aunt means"

"Ah, then just go in first. Auntie's gonna make some tea"

"Thank you aunt"

Hana is welcome to enter Claire's living room. There was only his mother in the house. Her dad? I don't know where to go. Hana sat on her tired back to the back of the sofa.

He was tired after his hobby. Well, her hobby is shopping. Like when he met Claire at a Gogo bar. Unfortunately Claire is not the same. He doesn't want to waste time, money, and energy. Claire better sit back at home.

Hana accidentally sees a photo of Claire while on the beach with Lyora. She wears a short dress that contrasts with the beach view.

Hana took the photo. Claire had never been on vacation in places like the beach or anything like that. He's a homegrown kid who never visited nature tourism. Seeing the photo astonished him.

"That's when Claire was taken on vacation by her coworker" Claire's mother suddenly came carrying a glass of green tea on a tray.

"Claire's vacation?"

"Yes. It was still recent. Not really, I mean aunty a few months ago"

"just fine. I know she never had a vacation" Hana sat on the couch.

"so. Claire seemed so familiar with her coworkers. Until the transfer was also with him" Hana sipped green tea.

"Auntie sometimes worries about him. Because Claire used to come home all night after getting to know her coworker"

"Back home all night?" Hana was interested in the topic of conversation Claire's mother had proposed.

"Yes. Sometimes midnight, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes not home all night. Just got home by sunrise"

"Wasn't aunt ask him where he's from?"

"He always said he had a busy work schedule because that's why he came home last night"

"Is his coworker a man?"

"Yes, that worries aunty even more. What if the friend had bad intentions and did something no-no to Claire?" claire's mom patted both cheeks.

"They're too familiar. Last week aunty didn't let her go but, uh, stubborn Claire always went against aunt's wishes"

"Good, that kid"

"That's how your best friend is. Was it school days when she was that stubborn?"

"Yes, it's the same as now. One percent hasn't changed"

"If you meet Claire, can you advise her not to go home with a man anymore?"

"Why should I bi? his mother will be more listened to"

"No, he always fought. There's no point in aunt forbidding it. He'll always commit offences"

"No problem. But I'm sure Claire loves her parents more"

"Alright, forget about it"

Hana for how many times I sip the green tea made by Claire's mother. Usually, when Claire is at home, they like to enjoy this green tea together. Unfortunately, he's out of town today.

Hana handed some bags of her grocery bags to Claire's mother.

"It's bi, when Claire comes home please give it to her"

"Eh what is this? don't bother"

"It's okay, Claire often gives me gifts. This time I gave it to him"

"It's noon, auntie wants to cook first in the kitchen. Just wait here, we'll have lunch together"

"Yes bi, let me help you too"

"No need, oh yes if you want to go in Claire's room. He's collecting sea shells in his room"

"Good bi, thank you"

Hana immediately stood up and climbed the stairs to the second floor where Claire's room was located. The door is closed but not locked. Hannah could open it easily.

It is true, in Claire's room there are many types of shells. All this he might get when he was on vacation to the beach.

Hana looked through Claire's clam collection. On the table occasionally he saw his photos while on the beach.

There is a photo of four people. Two men and two women. That one woman is Claire and I don't know who the other woman is. While one man is Claude... wait for Claude?

Claire's mother said Claire was invited to go for a walk with her coworkers. Then Hana tries to remember their last meeting in the Gogo bar. He meets Claire and Claude.

Claire once said that she knew Claude because Claude was her coworker. Perhaps the man Claire's mother meant was Claude. The one who made her parents worry about Claire was Claude.

Mystery solved. No, it's just a little mystery to Hana. He might be able to help his best friend by telling his mother if Claude was his good cousin.

After a few minutes, Hana is now at the dinner table with Claire's mother. They were just the two of them since then.

"Alright, please enjoy, hope you like Hana" said her mother with a friendly smile.

"It must be delicious. No need to doubt"

"Hahaha~ you could have. All right, eat it soon. Cold rush"

"Yes bi"

In the midst of eating, Hana opened the topic of conversation that she had been trying to convey since.

"Auntie said, Claire used to go out at night with her coworkers, didn't she?"

"Yes, that's true. They're too close to almost every night out"

"Aunt know? I know the man that aunt meant that"

"Oh yeah?"

"It's Claude, isn't it?"

"Yes very right. Did Claire ever tell you?"

"Even before Claire told me, I knew her"

"So, who's Claude?"

"My cousin bi's brother. He's my good-natured, friendly, trustworthy, honest, and responsible cousin"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes bi. Actually, many of my brothers who also imitate and like the nature of it"

"That means he's not a man who's going to mean anything to my daughter?"

"I guess so. Because the possibilities are almost nonexistent. He'll definitely take good care of Claire bi"

Claire's mother gulped down a glass of water near her. He had deliberately prepared it because it had become his habit.

"If she's looking after Claire, that's great. Auntie so no need to worry anymore"

"Yes. From a point of view, shouldn't they be bi lovers?"

"Eitherway. Claire doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore. Though he should have a lover, so that after his career goes up then he can get married without looking for a future husband again"

"But aunty's not in a hurry, is she?"

"Actually yes, but what else? there's no way aunt's forcing Claire to find a lover"

"yes too. I'll also get bi"

"Is Claude still single?"

"I know because she never had a boyfriend before. He's busy taking care of his mom"

"What a filial son"

"Yes. I told you what bi is too"

"He looks very patient"

"really"

The topic of conversation was filled by the name Claude. Occasionally punctuated by jokes. What a fun conversation.
