A farewell party associated with a change of personnel is something many company employees have had experience attending.

but naturally Ning, who was Neat until a year ago, never experienced it.

For him, it was unexpected that he would be on the sending side of the company's farewell party for the first time.

I have been transferred from the General Affairs Division and others to the Sales Department for just six months. I just struggle badly to get used to my work every day and my days pass to flying, tonight if I'm aware of it.

"So Komori can go to Okinawa. Good luck"

There was a tightening greeting and a toast followed by a department manager who felt slightly cluttered but made him feel like him, and the senior employees in the sales department spoken words of encouragement to me.

"Yes. Thank you."

To be honest, Ning was about to cry just a little. I was putting up with it because I was so embarrassed when I actually made her cry, but that's about it, I was feeling sentimental.

It was a short time ago, but the sales department seniors and bosses taught me all sorts of things, albeit rough, and even backed me up during the beatle strategy. Unlike in the days of the General Affairs Division, which was an extremely bad place to work, sales department members were the first people to be known as' buddies' to the Ning people.

Ning decided to move because he sometimes aims, but still.

Ning people who are unfamiliar with these places were noticing themselves feeling kind of unchanging.

So. What one senior told me shortly after I left the primary party store was unexpected.

"Ooh, Komori. You don't have to come here again today."

"Oh, why? Sugiyama."

Sales department drinks don't end only with basic primary meetings. Most of the time, after this, I promise to slip into places like cabbage, bars, lounges.

And the Nings were taken to be taken almost every time because they were the lowest end of the line.

I'm not very good at shops like the one where women are, so I'm not usually very happy with the custom, but I thought I'd hang out until the end of the day or so.

"Why you..."

That said, in the direction indicated by Sugiyama, there was one girl.

She has a gentle smile as she makes just a little trouble with the members of the silly noisy sales department. It's De Maki, the synchronization of the Ning people.

Today it is a farewell party of the sales department, but because of the synchronization with Ning people, Maki is called to this occasion.

By the way, he also spoke out to Ikeno, another sync, but he's not there for granted.

As a Ning, I wonder what a good man Maki is as ever to come here like this.

"Maki, what is it?

Sugiyama sighed at Ning's question.

"Ha... You know, Deb, you're here because of me, and you're not talking at all. Besides, if I go to a second meeting or something, I'm not gonna make it to the end of the line anyway, and if I let you attend our second meeting in the first place, Deb, you're pathetic."

"Er, well, yes. Right."

Maki is only twenty years old, and one way or the other, he's calm and quiet. So I think Nori in the sales department is painful. No, me too.

"But it's too late, and you're in danger of letting me go home alone. So -... Shit. You, take me to the station. So, don't come back here anymore."

"Huh."

"Huh. You know, you're about to thank me for this place. Good. Senior orders!

Sugiyama said that at the end of the day, he suddenly partitioned the place and started throwing the other members into the cab one after the other. Maybe I'm renting out the lounge I've been to before.

And if I noticed, the only two people left on the spot were Ning and Maki.

"... erm..."

Nobody else is here anymore, so I'll try to get close to the distance we can talk, Ning.

"Yes!

Until earlier, Maki, waving and bowing his head to the taxis of people in the sales department who were leaving, had replied strangely nervous.

"? What's wrong?

"No, that... Ning ren-kun, don't you want to see me again?

Maki is somewhat softened. Together with the fingers of both hands in front of his body, his fingertips are in such a mysterious move. Seems restless to her, could she be quite drunk?

"Yeah. Something... Looks like it. So, can I, uh, drive you to the station?

When Ning replied that way, Maki's complexion increased redness in an instant. Looks like he's drunk after all.

"That's right, I'm fine. Or that! Thank you very much."

Originally white, her cheeks dyed in cherry blossom color were slightly impressive, and Ning people turned away somewhat embarrassed. I really wanted to see it though.

"Well, let's go"

"Yeah!"

After a short conversation, the two of us started walking side by side.

Ning people are not originally the type to be good at chatting, so stay silent.

Maki, are you tired? Keep your face red and nagging.

The girl walks a lot slower, for Christ's sake, while Ning walked as slowly as she could go with her.

The weekend downtown is busy, sparkling and loud.

But strangely, I don't really care about that hustle and bustle.

Only my left side walking in Michi feels a little warm. The illuminating light of the full moon in the sky is soft.

Words came out naturally.

"Um, come on."

"You know,"

Coincidentally, I spoke up at the same time. Because of the liquor in it, that's funny and makes me laugh just a little bit. Seeing it, Maki looked the same, giving me a couscous and a happy look.

"Sorry, what?

"Pfft. No, Ning ren-kun. After you."

That being said, I can't remember what you tried to tell me. So the Nings started a normal conversation by saying something that seemed somewhat unnatural.

That another year has passed since we entered Metallica.

Questions about Maki's work.

It's the first time I've been to Okinawa, but something I'm going to go to about the sea for once.

Shochu is a potato thing after all.

What to eat on an eyeball grill.

Maki also shook up various topics.

to participate in the next year's Modified Human Competition.

That my cooking arm has only improved a little lately.

Actually, the inability to swim.

That I was the first to drink alcohol after being a hatchet last month.

Olive oil and pepper shall be sprinkled on the eyeball grill.

Maki doesn't want to chat either, so the conversation gets heated up.

But I enjoyed talking to the potatoes and the occasional small laughing atmosphere, and I felt calm.

Ning will be transferring from now on, so I guess I won't be seeing her again when tonight is over.

I wish I was a little farther to the station. When Ning thought of that, Maki switched the subject.

"Oh, the shop over there, my senior in the General Affairs Department told me that the range of shochu is good, but it's a reasonable bar"

"Where? Uh, that sounds like a good shop."

Shochu bar (and cheap!) I'm curious. I wanted to know sooner if I could. Anyway, Ning people are leaving for Okinawa immediately, so they won't have a chance to go to that store for the time being.

Shochu bar, store name is "Natsume". Yeah, let's just remember the name.

"Speaking of which, Ning ren. Maybe you haven't been drinking much today, have you?

For some reason Maki had a nervous look on his face. I even hold both fists small around my chest. Would that be such a serious question?

"Uh, yeah. I may not be drinking as much as the usual sales club drinks"

As much as the Nings were going to attend after the second meeting, they certainly didn't drink enough.

"Really! Kana, you thought."

Maki looked happy. Somehow, it's so bright, pathetic.

Ning saw her like that as a flicker on the side so she wouldn't find out.

Looking at it, Maki hastily turns a blind eye because he's been staring at us as well.

"Bye......!

"Yeah. So I thought I'd buy some booze at the convenience store and go home."

"Huh...?

Maki's eyes became like scolded jeans for some reason. I even drop my shoulders disappointingly.

"Oh, Maki, there's a step there"

So she seemed to be a little late in responding to Ning's words.

As a result, Maki stumbled small on the sidewalk steps, and the Ning rushed to support her.

"Oh, sorry"

"Ya, it's okay..."

In an unexpected state of intimacy, the Nings could no longer think of anything.

Touching it confuses me with the swelling, citrus-like scent of her touching around the waist of a truly luxurious and soft century, or around the shoulders of Ning people.

"... Ning ren-kun..."

Besides, Mitsuki didn't immediately try to get away from the Ning people, whether he was injured somewhere, drunk or dally, but he was staring at me, and that was rushing again.

Her wet pale eyes in her arms and her shaped, well-luminous lips come into sight even though I don't like them. No, I don't hate it at all.

What should I do? What are we gonna do about this situation? Shit, I gotta say something. It sucks, and I guess it's creepy if we don't just leave in the first place. But it's rude to push it away, and it's dangerous if you're first injured. Uh... you look like a pervert if you don't say something for now.

And the confused Ning shifted their gaze towards the sky for now. So, I said something about the first thing that caught my eye.

"Ts, moon! Looks like a full moon today. Um, look, isn't it beautiful?

What are you talking about? Me. You don't care about the moon or anything. Obviously. No, it's really beautiful, and I actually wanted to share that with you earlier, but in this situation, it doesn't make that or anything too clear.

"The moon... eh, the moon, is it...?

"... sorry. Honestly, temper..."

"Right... also -... Well, yes."

Maki looked at him like he had any idea, then sighed before leaving the Ning people. but he laughed right at me.

"You have no choice... Ning ren-kun is"

"Huh?"

"Fine. Already. 'Cause I'll see you again."

"Maybe... I don't think it's going to be Okinawa forever, and I'm going back to headquarters."

"Hehe. Right. Ning ren-kun is someone who only faces forward and upward, isn't he? You don't really look that way."

The smile was transparent and somewhere flirtatious. I even felt a little colorful, even though it was the middle of a century when I was younger and left the girl in the shadow.

And here's what she said.

"Right. Ning ren. The moon is beautiful."

The voice was like a bell, deeply stained in his ears and in his heart.

"That's what happened. At a farewell party during the sales department."

"Just in case, seniors, what do you want to do after that?

"Yeah, I fell, so Maki broke her heel. I called a cab and gave it back."

"... ha"

"... man"

When Ning finished speaking, the two men sitting face to face, Tsurgi and his new name, shared their thoughts in a low voice. The face is obviously full of flaws.

"What the hell, that. Tsurugi, I ask you if you've ever held a woman before, so I...!

"Yes, sir. First of all, that's not what Mr. Tsurugi meant by" holding "."

"Taxi bill! I paid for that."

"That's normal, boss. That's what we're talking about."

Okinawa's tavern on the move. His new name was Beer, and Tsurgi sighed again after stirring up sake.

"Senior...... Aren't you stupid?

"Yep...? What the hell is that? The one who says you're stupid is stupid."

"I hate to say it, boss. You're the idiot."

The words of Tsurugi had a weight that they would not say whether or not they were present.

Apparently, I was an idiot.
