Threshold of palm

On the fourth day of staying in Xueye's apartment, the company sent him a letter to return to the original deployment.After receiving the notice that it was delivered to Shuma's apartment, Xue also made a special trip to get it back.

However, one cannot simply be happy about it.When Xue also used the key Shuma gave him to enter the room to confirm, the room had been ransacked into a mess.

According to the police who came over after receiving the call from Yukiya, the stolen items were relatively expensive electronic products such as computers and TV sets, as well as cash hidden for emergencies, so this was a case of theft.The incident occurred about two or three days ago. Since Shuma was not at home and had no communication with the surrounding residents, no one noticed.

However, this is no simple case of theft.Definitely Zhongshan they do.Because Shuma hid, in order to vent his anger and show a warning, he went to ransack Shuma's room, absolutely.Warn Shuma that as long as he has that intention, he will rush into the house and take him away forcibly.

Just thinking that it's time to go back and get some essentials for work, and counting horses is aroused with fear.Thanks to Xue Ye, everything is safe, but there is also a possibility that Zhong Shan and the others will run into each other again.After living peacefully with Xue Ye, Suma almost forgot that they would never let him go.

"Okudera-gumi is a rare martial arts faction these days, and is famous for that. I went mad after being humiliated by the layman Shinozawa. Anyway, I will never give up until I get compensation from one of you. "

Not only was it negotiating with the Shuma Company, but Yuki also went to the Okudera Group and told them that Shinozawa's written documents did not have any legal binding force.

"Those guys are very good at getting into the loopholes that the police can't intervene. The same is true for the looting of Shuma's room. So far, they have not been able to find any evidence that they did what they did. Now that I have intervened, they will not directly attack Shuma. Take the shot, but as long as Shinozawa doesn't show up, I'll keep targeting you...Sorry, I'm not strong enough"

The fifth day of the stay.Yuki, who took a vacation to explain the current situation in spite of her busy schedule, bowed her head apologetically.Counting horses panicked.

"You... what are you talking about, Yuki!"

The snow is also really well done.Allow yourself to live under the same roof as him.Shuma is very aware of how much he has been treated exceptionally.

Few lawyers will take over the negotiations with the underworld.Especially for lawyers like Xue Ye, who are popular with the media and will come in droves even if they don't speak up, generally speaking, they will not take dangerous bridges.

However, Xue did this step for herself without charging any fees.Moreover, he hid several horses in his own house to take care of food and daily life.

Since the start of the sojourn, although the situation is urgent, Susuma's health has improved greatly compared to before.The faint dark circles under the eyes disappeared, and the skin was no longer dull. The places injured by Zhongshan and the others also improved, and they were extremely healthy.This is all thanks to Xue Ye.

Snow would never let Shuma eat ready-made food.Every morning, they make a breakfast that is gentle on the body, and when they go out, they leave bento boxes and handmade desserts that are not inferior to popular restaurant lunches.Makes a delicious dinner no matter how late the night is.

Once jokingly said that she wanted to eat junk food, Xue also brought out a hamburger made of juicy hamburger patties and fresh vegetables, as well as carefully fried homemade French fries.

The meticulous life that even the biological mother can't give makes people feel very comfortable. ...So, until now, I haven't asked about it.Ask him how he feels about Shuma's betrayal.

At first, I suspected that he was trying to take revenge because he hated Shuma, or that he wanted to see his miserable appearance to vent his anger, but now these doubts have almost disappeared.If it is for revenge, there is no need to do this step.

So, there is only one possibility left.Xue also still misses counting horses, and only helps herself out of love.

At first, I thought it was an excess of self-awareness anyway.Even if the betrayed party will soon forget, but the betrayed person will never forget.Ironically, this is what Shinozawa taught himself.Even if the turmoil with the Okudera group is resolved, the hatred for being deceived and being used as a sacrifice by the underworld will never disappear.

However, Xue Ye's words and deeds can no longer explain other than love.Who the hell would be happy to be called by the name of a hated man?Will you be happy because you eat up the food you spent your energy on?As soon as you ask to do some housework, you will reject yourself on the grounds that "you don't have to do anything, you just need to rest peacefully"?

As a result, during these five days, Shuma did nothing but eat, sleep and play.Xue also went to work early in the morning, and never came back before seven no matter how early at night.

"It's all thanks to Yukiya that I can live like this now.... I am very grateful to you"

"Although hearing Suuma say that, it feels a little easier..."

Saying so, Snow also bent down.The credit bureau that was entrusted to search for Shinozawa has not found any information so far. Maybe he thinks it is his own responsibility and blames himself.

The Okudera group also searched for Shinozawa red-eyed, but they still couldn't find it. Where did Shinozawa disappear to?What happened to the lover who was supposed to get married.

"It's me who should say I'm sorry. You've done everything for me... Although there's nothing I can do now, I'll pay the salary as soon as I get it."

"no"

Xue also raised her head abruptly.Although he has transformed from a beautiful boy like a girl into a mature man, his habit of staring straight into the eyes of others while speaking has not changed.Even those who are a little bit used to Shuma have a feeling that their heart is being tightly grasped. It should be difficult for people who meet for the first time to establish a dialogue.

"I did this without permission. I don't need to be paid. I should have said it many times."

"That's it...then, at least let me pay for the food."

"That's not okay. It doesn't matter whether it's for one person or two, and it's not a high-end cuisine that needs to be charged."

Not only now, this conversation has been repeated many times in the past two days, and Xueye's answer really hasn't changed.

… Help yourself without asking for any compensation, because you still like yourself?

Even though it was a great opportunity to ask this question now, he swallowed the words stuck in his throat.I feel like if I say it, something will break down.

"However, it will be painful if I just accept your help blindly. I hope you can let me do something."

"...Then, when you go to work after your vacation, can you bring the bento I made?"

"ha……?"

"Also, I want you to wear the suit I prepared to go to work too....No, right?"

"...No, it's more like a big help..."

When I go out to do business, I almost always eat lunch at any restaurant. If I have a bento, I can eat and save money.Almost all the suits in Shuma's house were taken away by Zhongshan, and he thought about going to a gentleman's clothing store to buy temporary clothes tomorrow, so it was just right.

But--.

"It turns out that I'm benefiting, right?"

"That's not the case...how does Suma usually handle lunch?"

"Eh? If I'm out on business, I'll just pick a store and go in. If I'm a back office worker, I eat social food, and sometimes I buy bentos at convenience stores or nearby stalls."

After hearing Suma's answer, Yuki sighed melancholy.

"When I think about eating bento with additives when I just recovered from illness, I get chills down my spine. If I can bring my bento, I don't have to worry about eating my body badly. The same goes for suits, Although I won’t say that the goods in mass merchandise stores are bad, if you compromise and buy unfit clothes because of urgent needs, wouldn’t it be a burden on your body? If I wear the suit I prepared, I don’t have to worry about counting horses. You won’t be in pain because your clothes don’t fit you.”

Xue also proudly said, "Look, isn't this all good?" But Shuma was stunned.

It's fine if you're a middle-aged or elderly person with high blood pressure, but I'm not at the age where something will happen if I eat bento all the time, even if the suit doesn't fit to some extent, it won't be as outrageous as Xueya said.She is simply an overprotective mother.

If this was said from the mouth of a girlfriend who is in a relationship, it is estimated that he would kick him and say that it was too noisy, but it is incredible that Xue also made himself feel a little bit of joy.For this man who set up a locked study in his home and worked honestly day and night for his clients, counting horses was really "special".

"...If you think this is fine, I don't care..."

"Really? That's great. Then, let's start making bentos the day after tomorrow. Ah, that's right. I also need to see if the suit fits well..."

Xue also stood up and walked quickly to the dormitory, probably to take out the suit prepared for Shuma from the walk-in closet.It must have been quietly prepared before obtaining the consent of several horses.

Watching the delighted back, Shuma sipped the herbal tea made by Xueye.After using the herbs cultivated by Yukiya himself, it is more flavorful and mellow than the products sold in the market.At first, I was concerned about the smell of herbs, but the taste is addictive. Recently, I often ask to brew it for myself.

"what……"

Enjoying the scent of vanilla in his nostrils, Shuma looked around the living room.On the first day I was brought here, there was nothing superfluous here, not even a speck of dust, but now there is a sense of life everywhere.Magazines and comic books that Yuki bought were piled up on the table and the floor. The LCD TV was connected to several home game consoles, and game software packaging boxes were scattered around.Worried that it would be boring if it was all books, Yuki also accepted the suggestion of a client who runs a game company and bought those software back.

Shuma was originally an outdoor school. On rest days, he usually goes out with friends or lovers, and sometimes plays tennis.I have no interest in comics and games.It is unbelievable that there are people who are addicted to online games and called useless people exist.

However, the games purchased after being recommended by professionals are very interesting, and the playing time is getting longer and longer.Now when Xue Ye is out, either playing games or reading and sleeping, there are only these three options left.

The reason why I feel restless is because I have become a squat at home...but it is not always the case.It's the dream that I will definitely have when I fall asleep because I live my life in a self-willed depravity.

"...Count the horses... and feel more"

Since the first time, that dream has become more and more lecherous.The first dream was just to expose the lower limbs and be led to the top by caressing the genitals. During this time, she was stripped to the naked body, and a pair of big hands were playing with the whole body.

As in the past, Shuma couldn't move a finger, so he could only let the other party fiddle with him.

He teased the areola stubbornly, playing with the tip of the protruding nipple with his fingers, and finally sucked.Not only the genitals but also the scrotum are carefully licked, and as soon as the semen is released, I drink it deliciously.The soft flesh on the inner thighs was eaten away, and all the erogenous zones were touched, and the genitals were about to be hardened just by being touched.

After being drained of semen yesterday, Susuma was lying on his back with his feet spread wide, and his ass hole was completely exposed.The first soft thing touched by the tightly closed entrance must have been the lips.Lick the folds of the entrance until the tongue is wet.It will be the finger that will enter the counting horse soon.

Initially there should be only one.The foreign body sensation was too strong, and when I reflexively wanted to expel it, the genitals were rubbed soothingly.With the high ejaculation, the fingers slowly invaded the depths, and when the semen was released from the covered warm mouth, it was squeezed into the inner wall of the abdomen.

The violent pleasure felt at that moment cannot be felt in reality.Suma must have closed his eyelids tightly and let out a high-pitched, delicate voice.Even if the slack body greets the second finger, it will no longer want to push it out.Rather, he swallowed it happily.

——If this continues, it will be very bad. I didn’t feel this sense of crisis until I woke up.

After living together, I have seen Yukina disheveled several times.Although he is not as strong as a few horses, he still has the same beauty and fragrance. Facing Xue Ye who takes care of him meticulously, his desire is naturally aroused.However, it was still the same as before, as a man—the one who hugged.In the past, she was so scared that she ran away, but now if Xue also handed over her ass and let herself do it, she would definitely want to challenge it.

However, to actually have that kind of dream, isn't it like counting horses being violated by Xue?

Do not make jokes.It's fine to hug a man, but it's impossible to be hugged.No matter how many times I read it, I still vividly remember the dizzying thrill of getting my ass fucked and ejaculated.Obviously a dream.Obviously not reality.

I was happy when I heard that the snow would be resting today.As long as I'm not alone, I won't have that kind of dream when I fall asleep from exhaustion while indulging in games and books.

However, the reality is cruel.From the indoor clothes with a few buttons open, you can see the lines of Xue Ye's throat, collarbone and chest, which are within reach.The fingertips that read the book entered the buttocks, the red lips that explained the current situation licked the genitals, and the hard voice whispered sweetly. Yuki must have never thought that Suuma had been secretly thinking about these things.

Just fingers make myself so comfortable.If I welcome Yukiya's hero...

"I've been waiting for a long time. Let's count the horses. This one, why don't you try it on?"

Xue also came back with several suits, and Shuma came back to his senses.No, I was imprisoned in delusions again.It must have been because she and Yuki had been together for the past few days.After going to work again and meeting colleagues and outsiders, this delusion will definitely disappear.It has to be this way.

"...Ah, thank you, Yukiya"

"Count the horses and change your clothes. I'll go to the kitchen to check the heat of the oven. Let me know if there's something wrong with the size."

Xue also put the suit on the sofa and went to check on the condition of the oven.There was a scent from the beginning, and lunch seemed to be Suma's favorite grilled chicken.

It must have been filled with herbs and mushrooms into the whole chicken after it was put in last night.For today's lunch, I have to pay more attention to the food than in the past, and there will definitely be a lot of delicious dishes.

Suzuma unconsciously smiled and said "I'm really looking forward to it", but didn't notice that Yukiya's red lips were slightly raised.

I have lived in Yukiya's apartment for a week.Finally came the day to go back to work.Xue who walked to work on foot also owned a vehicle, but Suma felt that he was too uncomfortable driving, so Xue also drove him to work.

"This is for you. The soup is on the bottom layer."

"……Thanks"

Before getting out of the car, he handed himself a cylindrical lunch box.I said it was a surprise in the afternoon, so I didn't let myself watch the cooking situation, but it was heavy, and it was worth looking forward to as before.

"It doesn't matter what time you get off work, just call me. I'll pick you up"

"Eh? But I'm so sorry. You have a job yourself."

Shuma leaves work at 05:30 on time, and sometimes goes home directly after running business outside.For Yuki who never went home earlier than seven o'clock, no matter how she thought about it, the time to go home was not right.

"I don't have to stay in the office every day, as long as I send Suma home and go back immediately."

"It's troublesome. It's only one stop from here to Toranomon by subway."

"...I feel uneasy when I think about what the Okudera-gumi did to you while I was away. Count the horses, please, let me pick you up just to make me feel at ease."

In other words, not only today, but also every day after that, Xue will send herself to and from get off work.It's really inappropriate for a busy lawyer to do this, but there is indeed an element of instability in the Okudera group, and Suma doesn't want Yuki to worry.

"I see. I will call you"

After seeing Suma nodding, Xue Ye's fair cheeks flushed slightly.

"Yeah...I'll wait for you"

"...Then, then I, let's go."

Shuma picked up his jacket and lunch box, and got out of the car as if he had fallen.Watching off Yukiya's skyline gradually getting smaller, suppressing Gao Ming's heart, he let out a breath.

...so dangerous.Wanted to suck those red lips that smiled.If he got out of the car later, he might have ignored the danger of being witnessed by his colleagues, pushed Yuki down on the seat, and violently snatched his lips.

Suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and several horses rushed into the building in a panic.Nothing happened when Yuki was resting, but she had that dream continuously the day before yesterday and yesterday, and yesterday she finally swallowed three fingers and climaxed.And the genitals were never touched.

What I was looking forward to, I have no idea about it.

Do you want to hug the snow?Or do you want to be hugged by the snow?

Restlessly inserting the ID card through the gate and taking the elevator.The sales department where Shuma returned is on the twentieth floor.

Those who go to work on the twentieth floor are all highly anticipated elite candidates, and before counting horses, they also come to work with the envious eyes of the people around them.Until they were transferred to the fourteenth floor because of Zhongshan and the others.

"Good morning"

As soon as Shuma entered the sales department building, the colleagues who were already at work reacted in two ways.Those who greet with a stiff smile, and those who keep silent because they don't want to get involved.The number of the latter is overwhelmingly large, as long as the matter of the Okudera group is not resolved, there is no way for this to happen.Xue also warned herself that she had already made up her mind.

"Haruma-senpai, good morning. We can go to work together again from today."

Regardless of the embarrassing atmosphere, it was the sales assistant Momoka Igarashi who came over to talk to her.She is a junior three years younger than Suma, a woman with a petite body and big breasts, exuding a soft atmosphere.She is often helped by Shuma, so when Shuma was relegated to general affairs, she was one of the few people who were aggrieved by Shuma.

"Igarashi, good morning. I'm going to trouble you again from today, so please take care of me."

"Okay, okay! I am, please give me your advice."

Taohua's cheeks were flushed, and she nodded with a smile.The face that I thought was nice before became even cuter now, probably because I haven't had a good conversation with anyone other than Yukiya for a long time.In other words, her kindness to Shuma has become more obvious.

I'm afraid Taohua has a love affair with Shuma.Noticed it before being transferred to general affairs.If he continued to stay in the sales department without incident like that, he would definitely be confessed.

In this case, Shuma is likely to agree.For women who are not in a relationship, peach blossoms are also in line with Shuma's preferences.Although she is not a beauty, she is cute and has big breasts.More importantly, it is easy to understand.

Snow is also completely different from her.He is obviously a man, but he is much more beautiful than Peach Blossom, and he is doing everything for Shuma sincerely, but he can't see through his heart at all.

When Taohua helped Shuma tidy up the table, even though she responded to Taohua's smile, Shuma only thought about Xue.

In the transfer two months ago, the company that Shuma was in charge of was distributed to colleagues, so almost the first day of work was spent in the company.Thanks to Xue, the disgraceful rumors have been cleared up, but if Zhongshan and the others show up here, the company's image will be seriously damaged.Therefore, during this period of time, I will continue to do back office work to assist my colleagues.

At noon, Taohua came to invite.

"Senior Haruna, can we have lunch together? I found a nice restaurant nearby not long ago."

"Thank you....But I brought a bento today."

Shuma opened the lunch insulated box that Xue also handed to him, and Taohua let out an exclamation when he saw it.

The lunch insulation box has three layers. The first layer is cherry blossom shrimp and mustard green rice. The second layer is divided into two parts. The right half contains Western-style dishes such as Stroganov beef, potato digging, and carrot preserves. Half of it is Japanese-style dishes such as red golden-eye seabream stew, boiled vegetables, and egg rolls in sauce, all of which are beautifully arranged.The remaining layer is a thick vegetable soup with rich ingredients to complement the vegetables.

"What a luxurious bento!...Could it be made by your girlfriend?"

"No no no. This is made by a friend"

By the way, it was a man. After adding this sentence, Taohua was obviously relieved.Very understandable response.

"It's amazing that a man can do this. It's definitely more delicious than the restaurant I invited you to. Ah, is it true that your job is to cook?"

"No,... an ordinary office worker"

The reason why he didn't say that he was working as a lawyer was because he thought of Morita's change at the class reunion.If Taohua is also interested in Xue, it will be very annoying if she makes a fuss.Yukiya is currently employed by Utsugi General Law Firm, so in a broad sense, she is indeed an office worker.

"Eh-. That friend thinks highly of Haruna-senpai."

"is that so?"

"That's right. Because you see, this bento doesn't use frozen food at all. Even if you use a recipe that can shorten the time, it should take a lot of effort. I'm about to lose confidence."

In Shuma's memory, Taohua usually makes bento with his hands.I went out for dinner today to invite Shuma.Thinking of this, a smile appeared naturally.

"That's not the case. I always thought the food Igarashi brought was delicious."

"Eh,... did you see it?"

Taohua said "I hate it, I did it at will" and became shy. As soon as she was stared at by several horses, her face became more and more red.While thinking how cute it was, Susuma breathed a sigh of relief.

Most women do this when counting horses.In other words, the number of horses has not changed.It's just that I have those strange dreams.

"Ah, um, my friend is waiting for me, so I'm going first."

Taohua lowered her head, trotted away.Suma was about to start eating bento, but found that there was nothing to drink.After making a cup of coffee with the coffee machine in the rest area, I moved my chopsticks.

"……Delicious"

Maybe it's because I'm nervous about returning to the workplace I haven't seen for a long time, and I think it's several times more delicious than before.It was all finished in less than 15 minutes, and when he wanted to drink coffee, Shuma tilted his head.The coffee I should be used to, feels different from the usual one.However, it is hard to say what is the difference.

"Hmmm, cough cough, cough cough"

I thought it was an illusion, but Suma coughed as soon as he drank the coffee.Very nasty.You have to wonder if there is any foreign matter mixed in the coffee machine.

However, other than counting the horses, other people were also using the coffee machine, and if there was any abnormality, it would have caused a commotion.I sniffed it tremblingly, but there was no irritating odor.

Tried to re-brew a cup with other types of colloids in the rest area, but it was still hard to swallow.At this time, Taohua came back after lunch, peeking at Shuma's face.

"Senior Haruna, what's the matter? The lunch break is almost over?"

"Igarashi... this, do you want to drink?"

Shuma handed her the undrinked coffee cup.Taohua took the cup without hesitation and drank happily.He didn't notice that Susuma was watching his slender throat bouncing up and down intently.

"Yes, it's delicious! Thank you, Haruna-senpai."

The smiling Taohua doesn't look like she's lying.It seems that the drink is the same as before, but Shuma simply finds it unpleasant to drink.

After returning to his seat to start his afternoon business, Shuma recalled a friend's words.Before high school, my college friends lived in a remote mountain village famous for its delicious water sources. After entering university and living in a big city, they couldn't drink the tap water because it was so bad.Suma, who was born and raised in Tokyo, has no feeling at all, and it seems that it is not as smelly as disinfectant, so he can't drink it.As a result, friends always bring their own mineral water, and tap water is only used for washing clothes and bathing.

This week, he only drank the drinks prepared by Xue Ye. If he has a bad tongue, he will feel that the coffee he is used to is terrible.Indeed, the drinks made by Xue Ye are very delicious.There's simply no comparison to this ready-to-eat coffee that's bland in taste and aroma.In particular, Xue Yete's unique herbal tea, which has the effect of relieving stress, is even more wonderful.

Ah, I really want to drink that herbal tea.Snow is also delicious when stored in a thermos, but if possible, I want him to make it in front of his eyes.You can stare at Yukiya's elegant figure using the water bottle, and you can also see the smile on Yukiya's face when she handed it to her.

...Why, isn't Snow here...

"...Hey, Haruna! Are you listening?"

"ha……?"

Pa, the shoulder was slapped, and Shu Ma raised his head abruptly.The colleague holding the document looked down at Shuma with a speechless expression.It's Kinoshita, who is three years older than Susuma, and Kinoshita, who has had a bad relationship since joining the company.She seems to like Taohua, and hates Shuma who is unrequitedly loved by Taohua.

"Hahaha. I've been calling you since the beginning."

"Ah..., sorry. What's the matter?"

"I called you because I have something to do. Organize this information and write a plan. It will be used in tomorrow's meeting, please finish it today."

The colleague put a thick stack of documents on the table without waiting for Ma's reply.Even if we start now, such a large amount cannot be completed before get off work.Kinoshita must have known it too, but faced with Suima's disapproving eyes, he just laughed it off.

"Anyway, you've always been in the back office, right? I'm asking you to make a little contribution now, thank you."

"Senior Kinoshita..."

Data collation can be handed over to assistants, but the business plan must be written by the salesperson himself.When he wanted to protest, Suma shut up.I noticed that the other colleagues present looked away unnaturally.Only Peach Blossom is peeping here worriedly from afar.

Even if he argues with Kinoshita, no colleague will come to help count the horses.Everyone still has concerns about themselves.If you refuse, it will only make the position more embarrassing.

"...I see. I have to hand it in tomorrow."

After Suma reluctantly took it, Kinoshita walked out of the office triumphantly.Obviously trying to make things difficult for horses, but work is work.Even if you have to work overtime, you have to finish it.

Summa, who worked up his energy, sent an email telling Yuki, "It may be late today, so don't come to pick me up", and then began to struggle with a large amount of information.

Since irrelevant materials were also mixed in, just sorting out was an unexpected waste of time. By the time I finally finished writing the proposal, it was already two hours after get off work.The only person left in the office was Shuma.When she collapsed on the chair from exhaustion, Peach Blossom suddenly appeared.

"Senior Haruna, thank you for your hard work"

"Igarashi? Didn't you go back?"

"I came back because I really cared about it. Um, this is a condolence item."

What Taohua bought back was muffins sold in a cafe near the company.This popular shop has long queues as soon as it opens, even if you want to buy takeaway food, you have to queue for 10 minutes.Shuma also bought it once and brought it to a customer.

"I think you must be tired and hungry...although it's not as good as the lunch box at noon"

"That's not the case. Thank you, I'm very happy. If possible, Igarashi too?"

Faced with Shuma's invitation, Taohua nodded with bright cheeks.After clearing the table, the two sat on the chairs in the lounge and confide their hearts without any scruples.

"Umm, it's about Kinoshita-senpai... don't mind too much. I saw it. There are rumors spreading everywhere that Haruna-senpai slept with a yakuza woman and borrowed money from the yakuza."

"Kinoshita-senpai..."

It's just that Zhongshan and the others chased after them and began to spread such detailed rumors. I thought it was strange at first, but now I finally understand.It was originally made by Kinoshita.

"Kinoshita-senpai is the worst. Haruna-senpai is clearly doing nothing wrong, yet spreading such nasty rumors."

"……Do you believe me?"

"Yes....I can't do anything...but I trust Haruna-senpai"

Taohua shyly looked down at her knees, then raised her flushed face.

"Senior Haruna... Do you still remember the orientation meeting last year? I hid in a corner because I was not good at drinking, but Kinoshita-senpai and the others came to persuade me to drink... When I was troubled, Senior Haruna stepped in to help me. Obviously Everyone else is pretending not to see it.”

"Of course I remember"

Suma would never take a shot at a woman who didn't have that kind of intention or didn't like it, and Kinoshita was a habitual offender who participated in various drinking meetings and took away drunk women.At last year's orientation meeting, Taohua was regarded as a target, so I went to help her.Even counting horses, she knew that if she just let her go, she would definitely suffer, and she really couldn't sit idly by.

"After that, he sat next to me as if nothing had happened, and sent me home. What a gentle and excellent person, I am very grateful. Therefore, the rumors that Kinoshita-senpai spread must be baseless."

"Igarashi..."

"I..., I have been to Haruna-senpai since then..."

Taohua's moist pupils caught Shuma directly.When she instinctively told herself that she was going to confess, the cell phone in her suit pocket rang.

"Hey, counting horses?" 』

After interrupting Taohua, she picked up the phone and heard Xueye's voice.Is it outside? The sound of the car driving also flows in.

"Yuki? Haven't you come home yet?"

"My client suddenly called me out, so I can finally go back now.How about I'll pick you up by the way if I'm done counting horses? 』

"Ah, I also just finished working overtime just now, and I'm still in the company."

"Is that so, the timing is very coincidental.Then I will go to your side now, and in 10 minutes you will come to the place where you were dropped off this morning? 』

Just as he was about to hang up the phone after nodding in agreement, Shuma added in a panic.

"Actually, I'm with my colleague right now. It's already late and I'm about to send her to the station. If you want to pick me up, can you wait for me in front of the station?"

"In that case, let your colleagues sit up together."

"……Is it okay?"

"Of course. ...Since I'm Suuma's colleague, I have to say hello too.』

After thanking you and hanging up the phone, I immediately felt a chill, probably because I was tired from not going to work for a long time.Thinking about going to bed early tonight, Suma smiled and faced Peach Blossom who was silently waiting for him.

"Igarashi, my friend is coming to pick me up in a car now. If it's convenient, Igarashi can also go back by car together."

"But, but, it will cause trouble, right?"

"It was proposed by the other party. It's already very late, and I won't worry about you walking back as a woman. If Igarashi doesn't mind, please do so."

"...Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Shuma quickly got ready to go home and left the company with Taohua.I thought it was a bit early to come out, but Yukiya's skyline had already been parked in the same place this morning, and Yuki also got out of the driver's seat after seeing Shuma and the others.

"Eh!? Are you lawyer Tsubaki Yukiya...?"
