 Today, two days have passed since we talked with Amana, and I was still working with Mason, who was in charge of the search for a new place to live.
 Apparently, she visited the actual house in her free time from last time, so the candidates for a new house were narrowed down quickly.

 Because of Mao's introduction, the person who took charge of it was good enough to be glad that she was in charge.

I'm not sure if this is the right choice for you, so let's take it off the list.
....
Next up is this one. The rent is a little over our budget of 50,000 yen, but the view and nearby facilities are perfect for that. It's a perfect size for you and your sister who occasionally comes to stay with you...................Hayakawa-sama?
....
I'm sorry.
What the...?

 It was suddenly shouted in my ear, exposing my pathetic voice to the store with surprise.
 Shit, I was in a daze and wasn't listening to what he was saying........

 As far as I could see from my side eye, I had successfully attracted the attention of the other customers.

''S-Sorry........''

 He bowed his head and apologized for interrupting the conversation about his new home as well as himself.
 The apology didn't cause any more commotion, and the people around them went back to their respective stories as if nothing had happened.

 I inwardly patted my chest at the situation and faced Mason again.

''You can't snooze in the middle of a conversation!
Hey, was I sleeping?
'Yes, that's perfect.

 Oh my God, not just thinking, but sleeping around.....

 The words that were told to me with a bitter smile on my face made me astonished, not the least.
 Mr. Mason continued with a worried look in his eyes. 

''Hayakawa-sama works in the transportation business, as I recall. By the looks of it, does it look pretty tight?''
Yeah, well but that was just a lack of sleep, so...
You're in a lot of danger for that, but you need to get some rest.
Yes.....

 I was told the exact same thing as Amanashi.
 Shameful........ 

 But that's exactly what happened.
 We've been living in the car for a week now.
 During that time, I've been sleeping unsteadily for so long that I'm feeling quite tired.

 I'm still working hard to find a new house, but it's taking a long time because I can't devote myself to it every day because of my profession.
 I was reading materials until late yesterday as well, but when I came to, I almost fell asleep.

 Driving while battling sleepiness is very hard to concentrate on, and my body is as heavy as lead, even though I'm sure I've received some healing from Amana.

 To tell the truth, I'd rather take a paid day off.
 However, I can't bring myself to take it off for fear that doing so would result in wrinkles for Miya and the other delivery people.
 I've come to the conclusion that it's okay for me to do my best, even if it's a bit too much. 

''It's fine to be a hard worker, but taking care of yourself is part of the job, right?
You're right...

 But that's only if you can take a break when you can.
 It's not surprising that Mason-san, who is from a different profession, said so.

 If he can't even manage his own body, he won't even be able to look for a new house.

 I pulled myself together and narrowed down my list of candidates, and as a result, I ended up with 10.
 According to Mason, this is where the real work of finding a room begins, so I had to brace myself to think carefully.... 

 

From what you've told me, it should be pretty quick.
'Oh. The rest of the property is to be viewed and scrutinized in person.
'You'll let me know when you're all set? I'd like to have a drink to commemorate the occasion!
'Don't use a room of people you haven't decided on yet as a venue for a drinking party...'

 After work the next day.
 I was giving an update on my search for a new house to Sanya and Mao.

 Mao seemed relieved, and Sanya returned it in a lighter tone, which made me realize that she cared about me that much.

 Continuing on, Sanya put his hands around the back of his head and turned out some kind of grimace.......

''But it's Mason-san, right? What's your luck with women, that you're going to get a match with such a beautiful and accommodating charge? I won't forgive you if you cheat on me while you have a person named Amari-san, right?

 Do you have that kind of crazy luck with women?
 I mean, I'm wondering why Amari's name was mentioned there.

''It has nothing to do with Amari........ Besides, Mason-san is a married man. I don't have that kind of taste.''

 I turned my jit eyes back at him, but Sanya just laughed and flushed it away with a kerfuffle.
 Even Mao just sighs in disgust at that attitude.

''But it's good that you're that accommodating. In the worst case, I heard that he sometimes dares to recommend expensive properties for the sake of sales.
You must be really bad at this job to try to satisfy the customer's needs 120% of the time instead of performance.
Yeah, I'm lucky to have people like you two and Amana-chan.

 When I mentioned that I was sure of that much, Mao and Sanya rolled their eyes for a moment, then.......

''Dude, I just did what I deserved to do as a colleague.......!
'Oh, it's a good thing you have a good eye for people as well as luck with women, yes!

 While blushing slightly, he let his gaze wander in a different direction.

 Did I say something so strange?
 Although the reaction of the two of them was slightly tricky, I felt uncomfortable pursuing it, so I decided to keep it quiet.

 Eventually, Marao calmed down, and after clearing his throat, he opened his mouth with a mysterious expression on his face.

''The search for a new house is going well, but is Kazu-kun taking a proper rest?''
What...?

 She doesn't seem to have found out about the overnight stay in the car, but even if she doesn't know the cause, she can't hide her surprise that she detected fatigue like Amana did.

''Well no, it's true that I'm tired because it's right after work, but...''
'Otherwise, you're obviously tired, aren't you? You look like a dead man with your eyes.
'Wow! That much? Did Sanya understand too?!

 What a surprise, even Sanya had seen through it.
 And with eyes like a dead man, he looked so awful!

 While I reveal my upset, Sanya sighs as he pauses to say, "Oh dear.

"Uso. Don't get caught up in this sickening situation. I'm trying to get out of this temporary housing situation as soon as possible, so I stay up late at night staring at the materials of my new home.
Ggh.....

 I couldn't reply to any of Sanya's words, and I was immensely disappointed.
 It's true that I stayed up late at night looking over the data on the property.

 But the truth is, it's because I haven't been able to get a normal night's sleep due to continuous car nights.

 I thought about using a hotel, but the check-in time of a nearby hotel and the end of the workday didn't match, so I ended up sleeping in the car, which is a vicious cycle.
 I may be able to get a reservation for the next holiday, but I don't know if my body will be able to hold on until then.

 I'm convinced that you don't have to be two to understand the fatigue of someone who continues to live like that.

 I'm sure that........well, I'm sure I've caused you worry again.
 It's not a good idea to inform people about the current situation when there's the fire incident and they don't even have a temporary home there.

''──I'm fine. Thank you for worrying about me.

 So I did my best to make up for the two people who cared about me by saying it was nothing.
 I have an inwardly deviant feeling that I need to compare materials again tonight to avoid causing them any more worry.

 And the next day ... not knowing that the limit would finally be reached.
