LOVE CATCH

I can't understand the president's subtle attitude.

The tense relationship with the president did not disappear even after the trip.Obviously, the president always looks normal when he talks to Aoyama and Kosugi, why does he stammer when he talks to himself.And extremely avoid the opportunity for the two to be alone.

Not being ignored.Important things will be explained to yourself.Because the president treated everyone equally when everyone was there, the other two didn't notice the change in the president.Although this did not cause an obstacle to work, this sense of disobedience, like a fishbone swallowed in his throat, continued.

At the end of May during this period, the Horiuchi Pet Funeral Center was published in local newspapers.Thanks to this report, the good character of the president spread widely, and after that, the company's commissions suddenly increased, and it became busy.

It was the second week of June, and it rained all day, making it chilly.There are as many as six dead animals to collect, and Shibuya has been running around in the rain since the morning.After 05:30 in the afternoon, I finally finished my work, and when I was packing up and preparing to go home, Xiaoshan said to herself, "Are you going back?"

"Ah, yes."

"Before you go back, can I take a moment of your time to chat?"

Although the little beasts at home were still hungry and he had to go back quickly, he still couldn't refuse what he said "a little bit".Shibuya followed Kosugi into the fire adjustment room in the center.There are thick pipes running through the ceiling and walls, and each stove has an operating panel. This is Kosugi's territory, and Shibuya has almost never entered.The president said, "Kosugi's wrist is very good. No matter how small the animal is, Kosugi will preserve the beautiful bones when burning."

There is no stove running now, and it's quiet all around.The adjustment room where the residual heat hadn't dissipated was as hot as a cage.Advised to sit on a gray chair with small wheels. "Thank you." Xiaoshan opened a can of coffee and handed it to herself.Sitting across from him, he gulped down the same brand of coffee as himself.

"I, I eat too much sugar. Although my wife has been telling me to drink sugar-free food, the sweet taste is the most delicious."

Kosugi sighed while pinching the coffee in his hands.

"Yesterday, I had dinner with the president. The two of them also chatted. Because of his serious face, I was taken aback. I thought the company could no longer operate..."

"Could it be that our company is going bankrupt!"

If you lose your job, your income will be interrupted, and the life and death of the Shibuya family members will become a problem.

"Ah, no, it has nothing to do with the company... I just talked about something related to you"

Shibuya swallowed hard.

"Are you going to fire me? Did you say something like this?"

It was immediately denied: "Of course this is impossible", Shibuya breathed a sigh of relief.

"The president said at the beginning, 'it seems to be liked by a young child'. The president is single, and if you want to marry a wife, no matter how young you are, as long as you are an adult, the law doesn't care. I said I was so envious, and asked the president why I met the other party, and then..."

Xiaoshan stopped suddenly.

"He said that he fell in love with you..."

"Huh?" Shibuya's eyes widened.

"As far as I'm concerned, I can't see that you have romantic feelings for the president anyway. And you are both men."

"...Is that person still mentally normal..."

"I think it's weird too. But the president is full of confidence."

"I like the president or something, I never said it once"

Xiaoshan snorted "Hmm" and held her chin.

"But the president is not the type with excessive self-consciousness. There must be some basis for saying that you like him or something. It must be a misunderstanding."

The thinking circuit of the president is like a mystery.

"I used to feel that I was hated by the president"

I spoke the truth.

Xiaoshan shook her head vigorously.

"The president will praise you with us when you are not around, saying 'Shibuya is really a good boy'"

Although I am very happy if this is true, I still can't help being suspicious of the dark ghost.

"When the employees were traveling, Aoyama painted graffiti on the head of the president. Didn't I say that I did it later? After that, the president's attitude towards me was the same...although the attitude did not change when everyone was there...but only When I was alone with him, he was very distant from me.”

After the employee came back from the trip, he immediately told Xiaosugi the whole story of the graffiti on the president's forehead.

"The words in the graffiti are 'bald LOVE', right?"

"Yes"

The movements of the two people stopped at the same time.look at each other's faces.

"Could it be that..."

Shibuya who muttered blankly, and Kosugi who held his forehead "haha" and laughed out loud.Could it be possible.Could it be... the president mistook that graffiti for his love signal?incredible.But if this is the case, it is understandable for the president to say "it seems to be liked by young children".What's more, Shibuya also confessed that it was written by himself.

After returning from the trip, the president's subtle and unnatural attitude is because he cares too much about "employees who have good intentions for him".The employees asked to sleep separately when traveling, also because it would be troublesome to be in the same room with a man who confessed to himself... Fragments of memories swept over.correct!locker room!The president screamed after seeing himself in the locker room.Could it be that the voice... mistakenly thought that he was being raided...

"The reason is that graffiti. It's easy to solve the puzzle~~"

Xiaoshan laughed until tears came out, and even wiped the corners of her eyes.

"This is not a funny thing!"

"Sorry, sorry. I'm really sorry to put all the responsibility for the graffiti on you. But if the fact that you like the president is just his misunderstanding, then it's okay to ignore it."

Because this kind of relationship will not progress at all, and the president will forget it as time goes by.But he was misunderstood as falling in love with a bald man who was about the same age as his father... Shibuya's mood is very complicated.The president is a very good person... Although he is a very good person, this setting is not right.

After the conversation, he left the adjustment room.

On the way home, Shibuya was depressed, and his shoulders were as heavy as if there were ghosts of animals on them.Unknowingly, I passed by the store where the vegetables were on sale, but I didn't have the energy to turn back.

Couldn't the president have forgotten about the graffiti earlier, and kept thinking about it dully.

On the evening of the second day after talking with Kosugi, Shibuya sat in the passenger seat of the president's car. ...invited to dinner.

During the lunch break, instead of Aoyama who went out for lunch, he answered the phone in the office by himself.

"Yingzijiang~" the president poked his head out.

Noticing that only Shibuya was there, the president lowered his head in embarrassment.Although he knew that the president cared about him not because he hated him, but Shibuya imagined that he was always regarded as "that guy likes me" by the president, and he felt a little nervous.Because I can't explain all kinds of things to the president, so I especially hope that this matter can fade away with the passage of time.

"You've worked hard."

It was awkward to keep silent, but Shibuya spoke up.

"I think Qingshan won't be back until 10 minutes later."

"Ah, that's it."

The president nodded, but still dawdled in front of the door.While still thinking about what he was doing, the president slowly walked towards him, and stopped very close to him.Although he seemed to have something to say, the president remained silent.Unable to bear this delicate atmosphere, Shibuya spoke up.

"Well, what do you want from me?"

The president finally looked this way,

"So, um, how's work going?"

"Working?"

"Well, it's sort of..."

Asked how it was, but said ambiguously "it's about it", which made people care.

"The number of customers who have read the newspapers has increased, and it is very busy now."

"Is there any dissatisfaction?"

Is it a survey of your job satisfaction?

"The work is going pretty well, so it's okay."

"That would be great....Well, can we have dinner together tonight?"

"Do you have any reservations for a banquet? I haven't heard from Aoyama..."

"No, that...just the two of us..."

...just two people?Why invite only yourself?After thinking in various directions, a conclusion is drawn.The president probably wanted to convince himself. "Although I'm glad you like me, I can't reciprocate your feelings. Please forget about me" or something like that.Does the boss who abides by the precepts want to guide employees to the right path in this way?

"If you have something to say, it doesn't matter here."

The president stood by and looked around tremblingly.Even if you don't need to reconfirm, no one is around.

"Ah, no... after all, it's a place for work. It's better to go to a quieter place."

In Shibuya, both the place of work and the toilet are OK.Although I want the president to "guide" me earlier, I can reject myself now if possible, but does the president really need an atmosphere?

"...I understand. Let's go tonight then."

The president who got Shibuya's consent breathed a sigh of relief, "See you tonight then" and immediately left the office.

The sound of starting an engine.Shibuya stared out the window at the scenery stained with the color of dusk while staring blankly.Tonight's dinner is given to Sannan Asahi, he probably knows how to make curry.That guy is already a high school student, but he doesn't want to learn anything other than curry.Forget it, this is also the most economical, thinking about it, the car slowed down, and then drove into the car
