"Are you on purpose again? I'll skip it!"

"No ... no, it's a normal mistake this time ..."

"It's extra bad."

"No ... no, I borrowed too much DVD the night before yesterday and watched it until morning, so I just left the office ..."

When I hit the desk with a van, Mishima's shoulders shook, and the next neighbor Hashimoto shouted, "Ouou".

"Excuse is good, are you going to fix it today?"

"I'll fix it, I'll fix it."

"Okay, work on ..."

He raised his gaze to glare at Mishima and at the same time noticed the presence of his boss approaching from behind Mishima.

I'm Odagiri.

At once, I had a bad feeling.

When Odagiri comes to our department, it's usually time to bring trouble. In addition, Odagiri's gaze turned to me for some reason.

"Hey, good."

I had a bad feeling, and Odagiri came to my desk and talked to me.

"Yes, what?"

I stretch my back and face Odagiri.

"I'm suddenly bad."

Odagiri said after he had scratched his whiskers.

"I want you to go on a business trip for about two weeks. With me."

"Hey? Is it a business trip? Where is it?"

"I'm going to a branch in Gifu."

"Gi, Gifu or ..."

To be honest, I don't want to leave home now. Because there is Sayu.

I've recently started working, and I don't know what will happen. The absence of a guardian for two weeks is bad at all.

I made my best “sorry face”.

"A little ... maybe it might be tough ..."

In response to my reply, Odagiri's eyes were round.

"That's unusual. Yoshida-kun refused to go on a business trip.

"No, well ... ha ha ..."

I can't say it's impossible because I keep a schoolgirl hidden in my house. A thirsty laughter leaks.

Yes, if you ask Hashimoto to go here instead ...

Looking at the seat next to me, Hashimoto, who was just a moment ago, suddenly disappeared.

That guy ... I just went to the bathroom ...

The escape speed was the best in the company.

Well, Hashimoto's wife is at home, and I don't want to open the house for weeks.

"Ah, what about Mishima? What about Mishima?"

"How about?"

Suddenly, I pointed to Mishima, so Mishima screams. She told me she was an employee who could do it, and she didn't have a boyfriend.

Looking at Odagiri, he shook his head.

"I don't have a company house at the branch we go to this time. I have to take an inn.

"Well, isn't it possible to use one room? I have a wife, Odagiri, and nothing strange will happen."

In my opinion, Odagiri had a complicated expression and said, "Well, that's right."

"Well, are you okay?"

He looked into Mishima's face and was scared.

"Eh, I hate ..."

He had a terrible face.

No, I don't know what I don't like, but a little more ...

Get that face on.

Manager Odagiri glanced at his face for a moment and shook his head many times.

"After all, Mishima is useless. You must be a man. I'll ask you, Yoshida. There's no ate that only you can. You're single."

An extra word stuck in my chest. Well, it's clear that getting a wife and child to go on a business trip can be frowning upon.

"Is there any reason why I can't go? I'll give up depending on the reason."

The hardest question came.

Think desperately about what you answered. This time, I cannot explain the situation honestly.

The savior appeared while I was desperately choosing words.

"Odagiri-san ... I don't hate him ..."

A male employee who walked from behind Odagiri's manager lined up next to him with a playful tone. Endo was working at a desk a little far away.

"I'm going on a business trip. I'm single and I'm super free.

"I'm not talking to my boss."

"Do you hate going with me? I guess it's hard for the section manager to put his personality into work, but ..."

Endo rolls it up in a timid tone. Manager Odagiri glanced at Endo with a blatantly disgusted face.

"Can you work for two weeks?"

"I'll do my job properly, but I'll love it outside of work."

Endo raised her eyebrows and replied, and Odagiri, Manager, shook his head, with a sigh.

"Okay, so I'll ask Endo."

"So then,"

Endo laughed with a spatula and looked back at Odagiri's back. I turned my eyes and laughed at me.

"Yoshida, you weren't just Goto's managing director."

"What's the story?"

Endo deliberately leaned on me and shouted.

"A woman?"

"What?"

"I don't want to go on a business trip because I have a woman. Is it different?"

I was appalled by Endo's words. Was it interpreted in that way?

However, I couldn't say that it was completely different. I didn't really have a lover, but it's not a mistake to say that "women" is the reason, because there is a "guardian" girl sitting at home.

"Yoshida Senpai ..."

Mishima, who was watching the whole story next to me, sent a glance at me.

"Is she? ..."

"No, not at all"

"I lied, and if I had been on a business trip to Hui Hoi, I would have to be a woman if I got tired of it."

"I don't know. I can't go on a business trip anymore ..."

I was stuck in words trying to say.

I have no reason to refuse to travel.

Looking at my expression, Endo laughs gently and places her hand on her shoulder.

"Well, if you talk here, you'll be sharp. Let's go to the dining room."

Endo said, pointing to the clock on the wall. Looking at it, it is around 13:00. It was just the right time to take a lunch break.

"... I'll go during the day."

He sighed and declared in a slightly louder voice, and a colleague at a nearby seat said in a casual voice, "Welcome."

He looks at Hashimoto's seat, but he has not returned yet.

It is a punishment that has been staggered by the section manager. Eat rice alone today.

"I wonder if this noodle is something you can do. It's still better with thread konjac."

Endo slurped Chinese noodles in the dining room with a disgusted look.

"I'm starting to feel like I'm prey on livestock. I just want to change the menu name. What's the" Livestock Feed Set "? I'm going to ask you. ''

"Speaking of that, you'll always eat only that."

Koike, a colleague forced by Endo, is eating fried rice next to him. Endo and Koike are on good terms. From an objective point of view, the two seem to be the exact opposite of their personality, but it seemed to balance the relationship between them.

"so?"

Endo, who was talking with Koike, suddenly turned to me.

"Are you going out with him? I guess it didn't mean that you went well with Managing Director Goto or something like that."

"So it's different"

As I waved my hands, Endo turned suspiciously.

Well, it would be bad to say that it was not going well. I remember the conversation I had with Goto in a yakiniku restaurant. But it's not a lie, because it doesn't actually extend to the relationship.

When I looked at me next to me with a gentle gaze, Mishima looked at me like I was looking at me.

"Chilled Chinese food will grow"

"Now it's more about Yoshida than chilled Chinese food."

Mishima was looking at the chilled Chinese food in front of her, with little change.

I exhaled a little and then uttered an excuse for desperate thoughts while ordering food.

"The package has arrived. In the last two weeks."

"Luggage?"

Endo raised her eyebrows.

"What kind of luggage is it?

"No, I just want to receive it right away."

"That's why I'm asking you."

With plenty of time between them and an open face, "I don't want to say," Endo laughed and nodded.

"I see. Yes, there are various Yoshidas, that's right."

Endo laughed as he understood and somehow struck Koike's shoulder.

"what"

"You bought it last year, DVD"

Koike frowned for a moment, but shook his head several times.

"That happened. At that time, I was really addicted to it.

"Gofu"

I was about to blow out the Ankake Yakisoba I was eating.

The next Mishima stares at me suspiciously.

"What is that Naruse ... somehow?"

"Oh, whatever, it's some sort of anime character, sure."

In fact, she is an adult video actress.

Listening to my cheating complaints, Endo laughed out loud, and Koike exhaled as if she was stunned, then stir-fried the rice again. Mishima still has the question mark floating above her head.

"Well, if you want to hide that far, I won't ask you."

Endo smiled laughingly and sipped Chinese noodles. I opened my mouth a little sorry while watching the situation.

"No, but it's kinda bad. Endo has to go instead."

"I don't care, I'm single and free, and I might be able to eat something delicious in Gifu."

"No, but I hate you, Odagiri.

"Oh, I hate it."

Endo shook his shoulders as if he was crazy, and laughed.

"I hate it too much and it's been fun to go around the circuit.

"... bad.

"Yoshida is an exaggeration every time.

"It doesn't matter"

I tried to eat Endo, but surprisingly I thought he might not be wrong.

A glimpse of senior Kanda's appearance crosses his mind.

"Well, whatever the reason, I've been on a business trip for me."

Endo stared at my eyes after slurping the Chinese noodles.

"I enjoyed the reason I didn't go firmly, whether it's an erotic DVD or a woman."

Endo said that and began to concentrate on eating. I exhale a little while listening to the noise of his slurping noodles.

Endo's words clearly had the meaning "I'm not convinced of your answer, but I'll take care of you this time." He was basically rugged and selfish, but he had a strangely open face on others. At work, he helped him many times.

Perhaps you can't fool it over and over. By the time my next business trip is over, I wonder if Sayu is returning to Hokkaido.

"Yeah, yes, Senpai."

"Nuggu"

At the timing that included ankake fried noodles in his mouth, Mishima was strongly poked on his side and his mouth was about to pop out. He swallowed in a hurry and hit Mishima's shoulder.

"What are you doing while you are eating?"

"Because ..."

Mishima opened his mouth after seeing and deflecting my eyes several times.

"I don't really have her, right?"

"That's why you say you don't.

I want you to stop because it becomes useless.

Mishima opened her mouth to say something, but closed immediately and nodded.

"That's fine, but ..."

"No, I don't need your permission to make a lover, so I hurt you!

"No, it's really frightening."

For some reason, Mishima began to swell, chilling and chilling. Looking at it with doubt, Endo suddenly began to laugh out loud.

"what is it"

He glanced lightly at Endo, laughing while hitting the desk, and shook his head, shaking his shoulders.

"No, that's not it."

Endo says, laughing too much and oozing tears from his eyes.

"I think it's really different to have a woman."

"What does that mean?"

"It's just that, Mishima?"

When Endo talked about Mishima, Mishima glanced at Endo and chilled with a large mouth and chewed Chinese food.

I don't know what they are talking about. When she looked confused and looked at Koike, she also shrugged, showing a bitter smile.

Mishima did a quick fix after lunch, and I didn't have much work, so today I was able to go home on time and get ready.

I packed all my luggage into a business bag, and when I came home, a stranger could call me.

"Yoshida-kun, a bit"

The shoulder jumped.

Goto was beckoning from the desk.

After all, I'm not worried about being called by Mr. Goto in many ways. You shouldn't be doing that at work. Does that mean you rejected your business trip today?

Going to Mr. Goto's desk with a chill, he smiled and pointed at his PC screen. It was a development that I could remember.

When I looked into the PC screen, it was written on the Word screen saying, "I'm going up soon, wait at the family restaurant in front of the station."

Looking at Mr. Goto, he smiled unnaturally.

"Thank you. You can go home."

"Oh, good.

I didn't seem to have any choice.

I was going to return early today, but the disappointment that Goto-san personally called me was intricately intertwined in my heart.

When I get off the elevator and come out in front of the company building, I take a big sigh.

"... Do you want to contact me?"

I wrote a message saying that I didn't need dinner and sent it to Sayu.

Then, we went to a family restaurant in front of the station with a squeaky step, which we did not know whether it was heavy or light.

From now on, I was not worried about what to say.
