It was around six months after I started working at Umineko Transport that I began to recognize Sakai Mao as a person.
　At that time, Miya, who had become a colleague and a good friend of mine, told me a story.

He said, "Hey, hey, Wa. Did you know that there is a really cute girl in the corporate sales section?
I don't know. I'm more interested in studying for this exam now.

　At that time, Sanya and I didn't have our driver's license yet, and we were in the middle of studying for our driver's license after joining the company, with the help of the company, during our breaks at work.
　The problem is basically two choices, so it's not impossible to get lucky at worst, but if you don't read the questions carefully, it's easy to trip over a trick question.
　I'm trying my best to remember the traffic rules and etiquette to avoid even one of them...

'Ehhh~?　You could come with me for a bit of a break, you know?
'Shut up. That's why you haven't passed your final exams yet.
Ggh.....

　So, unlike me, who is getting ready to take the main test at the license center, Miya has not yet been able to pass the graduation test at the driving school.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace.

".........
....
I hear she's a very cool beauty.
Hey.

　A silent silence envelops the surroundings for a while, and then Sanya, who has quickly run out of concentration, speaks to me again.
　I tsked at the limit of how fast it was too fast, but he continued as if he hadn't heard me.

The older man who was in charge of educating her was going to tell her about it, but he couldn't help it. And then, to my surprise, I found out that she didn't have a boyfriend.
Hmm.

　In contrast to Miya, who shows some kind of expectation, I return with a bitterly cold heart.
　To be honest, since I've had my hands full with all the things I've had to learn since I started working, I can't pay that much attention to other people's love affairs.

　It's just so disgusting that you guys don't have time for this.

　Well, I may look like I have more time on my hands than you.
　The reason is that I've never had a chance to get involved in a relationship, so I don't really understand the fun of it.

　But since the end of the break is approaching, we cut off our studies and walk back to our posts.

''T?''
"Yikes!

　But the moment we came to a bend in the corridor, the person who had bumped into me fell down.
　I knew it was a woman from the pitch of her scream, which I could hear for a moment, but it was sudden and my physical ability is not flattering enough to hold her back on the spur of the moment.

　The other person who fell on his or her buttocks was scattering papers that he or she must have been carrying in his or her arms around.
　It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on some of these documents.
　There are many personal information, but as a future courier, I'm determined to maintain the confidentiality of the information.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a good reason to hand over the documents you've finished picking up to the woman.

Hmm. I'm sorry I didn't look at it properly.
No....

　I told him I was sorry, but the other party didn't seem to be particularly angry either, so I said goodbye without leaving any regrets...

''Ah!''

　It was not the case.
　It's because the moment Sanya, who was behind him, saw the woman, he suddenly started screaming out loud.
　I turned my face back and stared at her, wondering what it was, and for some reason she had a happy expression on her face.

'It's this girl, Wa!　Look, that cute girl from the corporate sales department I mentioned earlier!
Huh?

　Speak of the devil, and you'll get what you deserve, eh?
　I looked at the woman again, wondering how such a coincidence could happen.

　The word "captivating" is a word that I experienced firsthand at this time.

　The reddish-brown bob cut was so well-kept that it was shiny under the light, and the dignified eyes behind the glasses were certainly beautiful.
　I see, I miss the idea that she's the embodiment of the term "cool beauty".

　This was the first time Sakai and I met.

　~~~~~~~~

　Since then, Sakai misremembered my name below and there were rumors that we were going out as an example, but I thought I had gotten to know her in my own way.

　But I didn't think there was someone else I was interested in....

Spring has finally come for Sakai-san...
Hey. That's not only unclely, it's annoying.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

　I felt like it was going to be a weird atmosphere, so I tried to ease it up by playing a little prank and I got angry.
　Yeah, definitely not the one I did earlier.
　I reflect on that as I receive the jit eye directed at me from Sakai.

'But you really took me by surprise, didn't you?　I'm sure the guy who's going after Sakai will be in a big hurry to find out.
'Oh, come on. From my point of view, it's just annoying to hear a confession from someone you have no more to do with than work...
The fact that he responds in a disciplined manner every time he says something is typical of Sakai.
Because if you turn them down in a strange way, it will affect the cooperation between the employees.
That too.

　It's the most frightening part of the entanglement of love affairs.
　I'm sure these words are filled with a sense of realism because Sakai is a beautiful woman, unlike me, and she is fed up with it.

　You're going to be able to find out what you're looking for.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.
I won't tell you.
........

　As for the important person, it seems that he or she was unable to know about the person he or she was rejecting without a word.
　It's not that I was planning to imitate telling off anything, but I guess the reason is to hide the embarrassment of wanting to keep the person I love hidden.

　You can't say anything because you don't understand that feeling.

''Kazu-kun.......even more so, I can't say it to you.......''
'What?　Why can't it be me?

　When I asked the truth of the small muttered words, Sakai huffed and then blushed for some reason.

''Ah, nah, why not!　Anyway, that's the end of this story!
Oh. Yeah.

　His rage made me tell him not to pursue it any further.
　I'm not sure if it's a bad idea with me, but I don't want to step in and make her hate me too much.

　So let's do as I was told and end this topic here.

　After the dinner, the wedding went on without a hitch, and the final bouquet toss was a great success, ending the day spent with Sakai.
