25 25 It's like a death sentence





Hmmm........class attendance.
Yeah, I hope it's a good memory for you, if you can help it.

 I returned to the head office a little after 10 p.m. and told Miya that Amana had a class visit at her school.
 All I can do is wish them luck.
 When Miya heard that thought, she looked at me with distant eyes and said something to me.

The first time I attended a class, the teacher guessed at me, and as a result of my nervousness I freaked out and shat my pants...
'Why did you just bring that up? It's going to be kind of ominous, so don't do it!
And a big one. In the meantime, I'm just going to use it as a nickname...
Stop it. Any more and it makes me sad too...

 After being told of the black history I want to bury, I rub Sanya's back.

 I mean, that thing was you.........
 I remembered what had been rumored at the time, but we were actually in the same elementary school.
 The world is surprisingly small, isn't it.....

"Huh. I'm sure Amana and I will be able to do it. I'm more concerned about something else........

 When he regained his composure, Sanya came over with a slightly annoyed grin on his face.
 When I prompted him to continue with my gaze, he deliberately cleared his throat and asked, "What is it?

''You went out with Mao the day before yesterday, right? How did it go?
'Ohhhh...'

 Come to think of it, this guy was up close and personal at that time.
 He may have read the air right away and quietly walked away, but when a woman invites you to join her, it's understandable that you're curious.

"Wasn't there an Ido-san from the corporate sales department? He asked me to be in that man's wedding with him.
'What? Yuuki got married? Who are you dealing with, huh?

 Sanya reacts with astonishment and jealousy.
 Apparently, he was secretly aiming for Mr. Ito, but unfortunately, he left the company on his birthday.

''It seems she's an employee of one of our clients. They met each other when they responded to a problem or something.
'Keh. The rear.....

 Cora, I'm not jealous of people's happiness.
 I'm not saying you shouldn't be jealous, because it reminds me of two of Mr. South's juniors I met at lunchtime, but at least don't show it to my face.

'Well, what's past is fine. Dada, is there any progress with Maou?
'What's with that tone........ It's nothing special.
What?

 When I returned to Sanya's question asked again without wrapping my mind around it, she looked at me like I was disappointed for some reason.
 I don't know why, but I'm pissed off.

''Mao-chan, I thought you had a thing for harmony~''
Sakai? No, they didn't. I'm sure the rumors didn't take long to sink in. He said he'd rather be bothered.

 Otherwise, you'd have said yes to the joke about whether you'd really want to go out with him.
 The moment you get stared at, you have no pulse.

But you know, you're so pretty, but I never heard you have a boyfriend. She's tough on me, but she's nice to you. That's why I thought there must be a pulse.
Really? As usual.

 I think the reason Sakai is hitting you so hard is because you're sloppy.
 That said, it's honestly a sleeper for me.
 I've never been popular in my life, and a girlfriend is out of the question.

 And yet, a beautiful woman like Sakai has me?
 I can't say I've never fantasized about it, but dreaming is a good place to start.

Well, we won't know the truth until we read Mao's mind. Besides, Kazu is a pedophile.
Hey, man. That's not what I'm talking about.

 Hadn't that pedophile allegation gone away yet?
 Amana is an object of love and has nothing to do with those reluctant feelings.
 The three friends have started to miss her as well, but I swear I'm not a pedophile.

'I don't know. Even now, instead of being tired from work, you're thinking about Amana's class attendance. Isn't that already a great pedophile?
'I just want it to be a genuinely good memory. If you're a real pedophile, you're planning to break into an elementary school or something.
"Breaking in....you're the one who comes up with that idea...
'Cause it's not! I'm not going to let that ruin my life!

 So stop looking at me like I'm in the same league as those preppers!
 I implore him to chant a reminder that I'm not a pedophile while protecting my glass heart, which is about to be hurt.

 When I was chatting with Sanya like this....

"Nah, you look fine~? You guys...
Heeeee?

 A sticky tone enters our ears and we all let out a small scream.

 I know that it was Chief Hinomoto who called out to me.
 But.........this tone of voice is very bad.

''Do you mind?
Your boss seems to be in good spirits...
I've started jogging lately, you know? I've realized that it's not hard to be health conscious~. You guys can try it too~.
Ha ha ha.....

 What should I do? It's as uninteresting as the principal's useless talk.
 I didn't know what to say, but we both smiled bitterly to cover it up.

And so~. I have a favor to ask you guys who are that energetic~
"Huh!

 We regret in unison that we couldn't escape with words that sounded like a death sentence.

 Can't you do something about that pressure called 'please'?
 I mean, I knew it was a request for more work.

 We were so traumatized by his tone of voice that when he appeared in the anime, we got scared unconsciously because of his tone of voice, like Mr. Ago.

 He didn't care what we were going through, he just designated a delivery address for the additional amount and went home.
 I cast a curse on his back, 'Go bald,' and then sighed at the same time.

''Gotcha........''
Why do you specify a delivery location that is the opposite of your current delivery zone? It's not efficient by any stretch of the imagination...
Yeah.

 Just because we don't have the manpower, doesn't mean we can't allocate a few of them.
 There are others who deliver closer, after all, it's us.....

Huh~....

 I let out a heavy, heavy sigh.
 They say that sighing escapes happiness, but personally, I don't think there's any way I can be happy because I'm so frustrated that I want to sigh.

 At any rate, it seems that tomorrow is another busy course to be confirmed.

 That fact was weighing heavily on my mind.
