104 100 I feel like Im often told that I have a lot of worries (2/2)

Great, that would have given the store more help.

”Give me a break, I don't know if I'd be able to keep up with you guys if you did.

A leisurely time passes, interspersed with jokes.

Well, then, it's not so bad if you think of this hardship as an ordeal to meet you.

”...... is right. Suella is right.

”Oh, think so.

We need to do something about it.

If we don't do something about it, the rift between the tester and the company will deepen.

That would be a problem at work.

What should be resolved is the dissatisfaction on the part of the testers ...... that would solve it all.

I would like to ease their hardships in this way as much as possible, but when I compare what I can do with what I can't do as a chief, the former is less and the latter is more.

I'm wondering if there is something more I can do than just be there for you.

Jiro-san, your hand is still resting.

”Here is also

I'm sorry.

The hands on their heads seem to have stopped to think long and hard.

What were you thinking about?

”No, nothing.

”It's a lie, Jiro, your lies are easy to understand.

...... I just thought about what I could do for you guys and thought there wasn't much I could do.

I thought I would be so facetious, but now that I think about it, they're both older than me.

Maybe they saw through the difference in experience.

Suela and Memoria will gently weigh down the weight they are putting on me.

As if to show that I depend on you this much.

”You're doing the best you can. It's more than enough for us.

Yes. As for me, you give me blood sometimes.

”Do you even do that?

”It's a vampire's prerogative.

The hands of the clock tick by, while chatting over a drink every now and then.

Then I'm going to introduce Jiro to my parents!

”What is it?

It's just that the air is frozen in an instant.

Memoria sobered up instantly, saying she hadn't heard of such a thing, and she looked up at Suela, who smiled proudly at her, and then looked up at me.

”Really?

Oh, yeah. Next time you make a genie contract, okay?

I hadn't told you about this to Memoria.

I wasn't expecting it to be revealed in this way, and I tensed up a little, wondering what she would say next.

When Memoria squeezed my arm, I broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, but

”It's not fair, then you can meet with my parents afterwards.

”Oh, oh. Okay.

The typhoon went by more easily than I expected.

The most tense moment of my life has been prepared for me twice, but it only matters that I'm prepared.

I'll have to do it.

Do you want me to call him over?

I'll be there, give me a break.

”Yes, I'm waiting.

She says, ”All right then,” and satisfied, she slurps like a cat, rubbing her cheek on my arm.

We've shared a few drinks together, so I know that this is a sign that Memoria is at her limit.

Although she is a vampire, she is not a strong drinker.

Normally she's cool, but once the amount of alcohol crosses a certain line, she suddenly becomes more bold with more body touches.

And speaking of Suela...

Don't sulk.

I'm not sulking.

The amount of alcohol increases and the mental age becomes a bit juvenile.

He's in a bit of a bad mood, due to the fact that he had one of his arms blocked off and was looking out for Memoria.

”So,

”Oh.

The right hand that was stroking the memoria goes back to Suela on the left side of the room, and if you stroke her head again, you can see that her usual work ethic is gone.

You'll give me a smile like a girl.

Now, I don't want to encourage them to drink any more.

Maybe it's because I'm comparing drinks with the instructors, or maybe I'm not drinking enough, but that's not going to happen.

Just look at the shopkeeper and tell him the bill will be magically brought to you.

The price is cheap, even though you had a lot to drink and eat, and will make you want to come back again.

Pulling two Yukichi from your wallet, you take Higuchi-san and Noguchi-san from your wallet, tap them on the shoulder and leave.

Thanks for the food.

We hope to see you again.

It would be a boon for the underground facility that you won't be exposed to the cold of a December winter when you leave the store after being seen off by the owner.

You take them out into the hustle and bustle of the employees who have finished their work and come for a drink.

Your destination is Memoria's.

It doubles as a living space, so that's convenient.

It's also convenient to have equipment there for you to retrieve.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Yes.

Walk slowly, caring for the two people whose steps are firm.

Let's carry the trouble over to tomorrow for now and surrender to this time.
