"Really!?"

"That's what you said... Hey, let's go."

"What will be used to repay...the body...?"

"Such cranky juniors need to be taught a lesson."

"I like you rough senior~"

While pulling my junior's cheek, I put my gaze there.

Shinjo spoke to Yukinoshita, one of the few elites in the company, who was on the table in the deepest part of the office.

"Minister. Shall we have dinner together, if we may?"

"Sorry. My work isn't done yet."

"Really. So, next time?"

"um. Thank you."

Facing Xinzhuang who was smiling heartily, Yukinoshita's expression was as cold as inorganic matter.

The small skills that I mastered in high school to be able to barely talk under the snow have long since disappeared along with my high school career.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ah, no..."

"Wow, Ms. Sugita is also targeting the minister. The minister is very popular!"

"That's right. After all, the minister is very beautiful."

"He was very popular in high school too...well..."

"......How to do it?"

It is very popular among women, but it is as unattainable as a flower on a mountain for men.

"I also want to be a popular person..."

"Don't bring your chest closer when you're thinking about something."

"It's not like this! Here it comes again, the senior will say that right away!"

The characters of the grandfathers and uncles in the office all looked at the younger generation who were making trouble.

This guy is also very popular.

That is, being cheerful and cute, of course it will be so popular.

"Today's business is up to you!"

"If you eat too much, you'll throw up."

"I won't spit!"

I left the office while holding the noisy Xinzhuang's hand.

Before leaving the office, I peeked at the scene of Yukinoshita typing on the keyboard.

There was no trace of glasses on that face.

When I saw Yukinoshita again, I wanted to say hello.

Because of our experience in the service department together in high school, it should be easier to communicate in the same workplace, I thought.

However, when I was about to say hello, I saw a scene of her calling the shots in the elite group.

So, I deeply understand.

Yukinoshita lives in a different world from me.

In a world beyond the reach of mortals like me.

At least for now.

I turned around slowly and left the occasion.

I haven't spoken to her since then.

Yukinoshita also didn't speak to me.

Not only that, but she called me "Mr. Hikigaya" in a business-like manner.

Those things about me will probably only become the decoration of her life.

She and I only have transactional communication at work.

That, except for nostalgia for high school days.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"Such casual hospitality is fine."

I smiled bitterly, which made Xinzhuang very anxious.

"Sushi is really delicious. And the price is so high..."

"Ah... I was worried about what I would do if I was the only one with such an expensive bill."

"How can it be so amazing! Is the sushi really that good?"

"Don't worry about it. Like you said, I really don't have much money to spend."

In the past, I had to pay for Komachi to go to college, but now she is employed.

I don't have any hobbies, and I occasionally do some extravagant things like today. If this is the case, I can be regarded as a rare high salary.

"Junior, do your best to live such a luxurious life!"

"Yes, come on!"

"Well, good. Then, go back."

"it is good!"

The two walked to the station.

I said I called a taxi, but it would be troublesome if I got there, so I took Shinjo to the station.

"...Senior Bi Qigu, I always feel so powerful..."

Suddenly, Xinzhuang said with a lonely expression.

"Even though it's my treat, it wouldn't be special to praise me like that, right?"

"It's not like that!...Senior is always very calm..."

"That's right. But you're complaining about your usual work."

"Aww, this kind of thing, how should I put it, it's within the scope of my control, it seems. But desperately, I can barely do it, right?"

"...That's, maybe it's like this."

"So, whether it's Minister Yukinoshita who works hard, or Senior Hikigu who works calmly and hard, I think it's amazing!"

"...That's it."

The words of the younger generation are indeed thought-provoking.

It's hard work, but it's always predictable.I also want to complain when I work overtime, but after complaining, there is still heavy work.

Thinking about it this way, I was surprised that I was able to work well.

The tempering of high school and college life made me accept the life of social animals in advance.

"I personally think that Senior Bi Qigu is also very handsome..."

"Whoever treats you will say that, you guy."

"Stop talking! It's not cheap there!"

“At best I was intimidated by the price of the sushi...”

"It's different! It's not cheap!"

"I see.  …Hi, here we are at the station."

Because of my words, I was bowed seriously by the always noisy junior.

"Thank you for today! The sushi is delicious! Let me treat you next time!"

"It's sushi again..."

"Let's eat crab next time!"

"Crab. Come on"

"It's an agreement! Hey, pull the hook!"

"no way......"

I smiled wryly and held out my little finger.

"If the hook promises to lie..."

In the middle of the night, two adults who have entered the workplace are doing the same thing as children, and the sight from around makes me very uncomfortable.

However, Xinzhuang didn't care about these at all, and smiled happily.

"Finger pulled the hook! Don't break the agreement! Definitely!"

"I understand."

Xinzhuang emphasized this point many times, and then lowered his head.

"Then, senior. Good night~~"

"Well. Good night. See you tomorrow."

"okay, see you tomorrow."

Bye, the younger generation waved their hands while turning their heads, and I set foot on the way home alone.

Walking alone on the street at night, I began to look back at my current self.

It worked fine.Did not hurt the body, have a good rest.

Relationships are no problem either.He maintains a good relationship with his colleagues, and is admired by his lovely juniors.

Free time after work is also no problem.I always feel that playing games is more fun than doing anything.

Money is no problem either.

Over the course of the year, I have amassed a fairly substantial deposit.

It's been smooth sailing.For the future, I have nothing to fear.

Not only that, I don't know when I became envious of such a situation.

awesome.It's great to work your ass off in college.

but.

"................."

This, why does it suddenly feel like a big hole has been opened in the chest?

Obviously already satisfied, why is there such emptiness?

I don't feel alive, why?

happy.

happy.

No matter what you do, you can do it justifiably.

Living the peaceful life I expected but not enjoying it.

why.Am I still not satisfied in this life?

"......"

do not know.

totally do not understand.
