Rest room.

The four of us will surround the table.

And I'm now looking at myself in the water of tea in a cup of tea.

"Have a drink. Eli's the one who brewed it. You want some sugar?"

"No, because I like it as it is...... Instead, if I had time to drink tea, I'd be on duty..."

"Don't say that. Besides, do Sophia on duty."

"What?"

I'm sorry, but I don't see the story at all.

Um, is this my fault? Is my reading comprehension or bad reading mindset?

"Oh, you know, Mr. Yurier. All of a sudden, Mr. Sophia, it's confusing, isn't it? We need to think a little bit more and talk..."

"No, I'm not good at that."

"I knew you were right to call Mr. Riina, too. Juliet, after all, why don't you get back on duty?

"You can't do this in Liina, this kind of thing"

"Wow, even I can be useful at times like this. Yikes!

"Um..."

Uh, can I go home?

I'm not stingy to replace you if you're simply talking about Master Juliet saying, "Take my place on duty because I need you."

Though I was surprised by the sudden story.

Seeing me confused and opening my mouth came from Master Riedel, not Master Yurier, who could not step on it.

"Mr. Sophia. Speak slowly with the director."

"Yes? Um, what?

"It's decided. That pitiful director, Akitsu Akira."

"That's right. What else have we got!

The momentum just broke, and Master Yurier slammed the tea cup on his desk. If it breaks, let's deduct it from Master Julier's salary and buy a new one.

"Dear Akira...? But I don't know what to talk about..."

I'm not saying we don't have to.

Because there's a lot to talk about at work.

But what they want to say, it won't be.

"There's a lot going on, isn't there? Why are you depressed, or something? Why did you come back, or something? So many other things, you want to hear?

"That's... I don't think you need to hear it. I think Akira will talk to me if it matters, so nothing -"

"That's what I'm saying in my mouth, is that what you mean?

"............... that's not true"

No, I couldn't say.

But even if he asks, "So what's the real deal," he probably can't answer. Because I don't know that myself.

"You know."

Unexpectedly, Master Juliet said, scratching his head.

"You know, I'm pretty good, aren't I? That's why I don't know what's bothering Sophia."

"Right. Juliet, are you nuts?

"Shut up!... but I can't deny it!

I said, she mocked herself with "gahaha" and an unproductive high laugh.

"But, Mr. Sophia. 'Idiot' is such a bad thing, I suppose, myself. Anyway, you don't have to worry if something difficult happens. It's Eli or Riina or something that bothers me."

"... Trouble yourself once in a while"

"Don't say it. Don't say it. I can't do this. Besides, I think it's compatible."

"Compatibility?"

"Oh, compatibility. I'm the only one with a dirty letter and a half-ring of a May fly chick, right? But with Eli and Riina and all, like, I don't know - yeah, it's gonna be about tea, sugar and milk!

…………

"Juliet, it's hard to understand. Besides, Mr. Sophia's a straight guy, right?

"I don't care! Coffee if you can't have tea, bread, butter and jam if you still can't! What matters is' compatibility ', you know!?"

Cluttered and hard to understand, that's the real deal.

I'm sure. It is Master Juliet's fault that I do not understand. I'm not bad.

Did Master Riedel think so, too, I will take over the baton.

"I mean, Mr. Sophia. Just like me and Juliet are a good combination, I think the director and Sophia are the same. Make up for what's missing, that's the relationship."

"... the same, is it?

"Ouch! That's what I wanted to say!

"Mr. Juliet, I think you should shut up now..."

"Ooh. It's surprisingly tight to be mad at Riina..."

Yulie-sama, stared at by Suomi-sama, is completely silent and drinks tea filled with sugar.

Sounds a little pathetic, but I would appreciate it because I myself, Master Yurier, would be extra confused when mixed up in talking.

"Cohon. Well, even if I say the same, I mean the kind... well, I think it's hard to compare because you have a completely different personality. Besides, we both look alike on the surface."

The tall Master Riedel sat back to the position where he would meet me in the eye and said:

"But next to the director, I think Mr. Sophia fits best."

and.

"Sophia, next to the director, supports the director, a man named Akitsu Akira. Of course. You don't think that's just work?

……

Not many people will understand her words, saying that every word is clear.

I also read those words and chew them in my head trying to understand them.

But I don't know yet. I can't sort out my feelings.

"I don't know. Nothing... what to do. Even if I say I will support you, tell Akira what to do..."

I don't know.

That's what I mean.

But that is denied by Master Suomi, and by Master Yurier.

"Mr. Sophia, is that really the truth? Probably not."

"I'm younger, but I can understand what Sophia has to do. I can understand you being such a fool. If you're a smart Sophia, you already know that."

…………

Yes, I am, I can think of.

'Cause I've grown up enough.

I'm not crouching in right now.

In His Majesty's bed, it's not Sophia Wolff, the vain crying girl, it's Sophia Wolff, the secretary of Dear Akira, director of the Demon King's Army Station Bureau.

I repeat the words of Lady Riedel, Lady Julier and Lady Riina and think in my head.

My, what I want to do.

What I should do.

To Master Akira, what do I want to do?

I've seen Dear Akira so far and what I was thinking.

And I must support Master Akira. Because that's...

"... Dear Yurier, Eli and Liina"

"Ooh."

"Yes."

"What is it?... is that it?

I called the three names. This is probably the first time you've really called it "first name".

They are my benefactors.

I guess I won't have to pay back this debt someday.

"- Thank you."

And the thank-you greeting was there, and if I realized it, I was popping out.

Supporting.

'Cause that's what I do when I work at the station.

---

I can hear you running down the long hallway.

I smiled as I stared at the door that had been left open.

"Oh, Eli. You're in a good mood."

"Well. Looks like she's watching her daughter grow up."

"Oh, I know too!

"I don't think so either. But Eli and Riina are still unmarried, right?

"Well, if I said that, wouldn't Mr. Yurier be unmarried!

"And Juliet and Liina are supposed to be younger than Mr. Sophia, right?

"Details are fine!

"Yes! Now let us rejoice that Mr. Sophia has grown!

Speak up, laugh out.

Unfortunately, Juliet's metaphor is not a mistake.

I guess we're like a relationship between tea, sugar and milk.

I don't know who is black tea, who is sugar and who is milk. But if one of them is missing, something is missing.

"So, but Eli. I'm sure Eli is talking about the director."

And Mr. Riina asked anxiously. She always looks anxious, but she's more so today than usual about the director combined.

But the story is fine. No problem then. I have an idea, too.

"It's okay. I don't think those two wives are going to have that kind of relationship at once."

You two even took so long to "discuss" anyway?

Maybe it'll take a decade for that to become a deeper relationship.

And I plan to scratch those undeveloped buddies from the side.

Unlike someone else, I'm a ghoulish attacker, so if you learn how to make coffee already, it's perfect.

And I thought.

…………

"If you both have something to say, say it firmly."

For some reason, I kept my silence. What, the kind of eyes that my prospects fail.

"Well, let's bet. Will Eli's attempt fail or succeed after this"

"Oh, you've got a good heart. Then I'll bet 500 on the" I'll succeed. "

"I'm 500 for" Fail Soon. "What about Riina?

"Huh!? Wah, me too!?"

"Naturally. It's not good for me to be a bystander."

"Er... well, um... at 500 for 'both of us will fail to make bets'"

Mr. Riina made a strange bet for some reason.

Oh, what the hell happens when it's neither a success nor a failure?

"What? What is that?

"Beh, there's nothing profound about it. I don't know what's gonna happen..."

"Then why?

"... uh, because during this previous trial, Mr. Sophia guessed with it"

Oh, I see. That one.

Mr. Sophia, only a few others got a great deal of money by betting that "recruits will be hired both ways". You would say you want to reproduce that.

"Mr. Riina, is that what you call a 'fish under a willow'?

"To, I also say that there are three times that there are two!

"There's only one precedent."

"Huh..."

With that said, Mr. Riina got a little tearful.

But shortly afterwards, it will blow out like crazy. I'm not saying anything's wrong, but we laugh at it, too.

After all, maybe we're compatible.

"Hey, what if we're not going to the tavern now?

"Oh, why is it so rare not to invite you from Eli!

"Is something wrong?

"Not bad, sometimes"

Sometimes, it's not as bad to drink as to bathe three women.

But it's a split.

"It doesn't make sense!

"Oh, so, but let's go!

"Er... chip, I don't know what else to do..."

The three of you get up and leave the break room.

In the hallway, I can't see Mr. Sophia anymore. I can't hear footsteps, I can't hear voices.

But I'm not worried about us.

Besides, it's what the director said when.

Because it's my job to wait, believe me.
