   Chapter 13 Daily Life

   "I have the next guest."

   "Welcome, do you have a point card?"

   Tanaka, who had just arrived at the store, asked the customer while scanning the merchandise.

"Hi."

   The man replied.

   "Okay." Tanaka nodded, "Please show me."

"…Hi."

   The man said again, but he did not act.

  Tanaka raised his head and repeated it with a professional smile on his face.

   "Please show your points card."

  “…Englishplease!”

   The guest said hesitantly.

   "Ah." Only then did Tanaka come to his senses, scratching his head while thinking about it, "That... Pointou Carter please!"

  “…”

  Tanaka doesn't understand whether he understands it or not, but the person on the other side definitely doesn't understand, otherwise he wouldn't have a confused expression on his face.

   The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

  Seeing this, Kato Yusuke, who had just put a discount label on the bento, came up and asked politely to the Asian-faced man.

   "Doyouhavepointcard?"

   The articulation is clear and the pronunciation is standard, just like a repeater.

   "Oh! Nononono."

  The man suddenly realized, shook his head again and again, and then asked Kato Yusuke.

   "Howmucharethey?"

   A total of two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of water, Kato Yusuke glanced at the price displayed on the machine and replied.

  “1000.”

   The man nodded, and handed out a thousand-yen bill with a portrait of Hideyo Noguchi from his wallet, then put away the cigarettes and water, nodded to Kato Yusuke and said something.

  “.”

After   , he left the convenience store.

   "Huh? What did he say? It sounds familiar."

  Tanaka stared at the man's back and asked.

   "That means 'thank you' in Korean."

   Kato Yusuke said as he walked into the cashier and put the discount label in the counter.

"That's it!" Tanaka clenched his fist with one hand and knocked on the other palm with a "dong", "No wonder I feel familiar, my wife loves watching these Korean dramas all day, so that I only watch late-night animations. I can watch the recording secretly."

   Kato Yusuke's hand moves for a while. Watching the late-night animation is nothing, but watching it sneakily is very fascinating.

   "Mr. Tanaka, aren't the animations you recorded in a grading system?"

   "Huh? Isn't that of course, adults should watch what adults should see." Tanaka said as a matter of course, and then looked at Kato Yusuke suspiciously, "But why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to borrow it?"

   After speaking, Kato Yusuke spoke again without waiting for him to speak.

   "Okay, it's okay if it's lent to you kid."

  Tanaka said carelessly.

   "And since you want to borrow it, I recommend you choose this animation adapted from the game - "The Prism of That Snow", the delicate expression in it is simply amazing!"

   Frankly speaking, at that moment, Kato Yusuke really had a little heartbeat, but unfortunately...

   "No--!"

   A coquettish shout came, and Takada Shiori suddenly jumped out from behind a certain row of shelves.

   "Tan! Naka! Sir! Sir!"

   She said word by word, and walked to the cashier with some anger.

   "Little, Little Takada!? Why are you here!?"

  Tanaka said in surprise.

   "I've been here all the time!" Takada Shiori said with his hands on his waist: "Compared to this, it's a crime to lend such unhealthy things to minors!"

  Takada Shiori glared at Tanaka aggressively.

   "Yeah... what are you talking about, why can't I understand it at all? A crime? How could I do something like that?"

  Tanaka touched the back of his head and said, pretending to be stupid.

"real?"

  Takada Shiori looked at Tanaka with scrutiny, his tone full of suspicion.

"Of course!"

  Tanaka said righteously, and while talking, he pushed Kato Yusuke with his elbow and asked.

   "Is that so Kato? Do you think so too? Ahaha, ahahahahaha."

   (This person does not lie at all.)

   Looking at Tanaka with an embarrassed smile, Kato Yusuke twitched the corners of his mouth, but he still said cooperatively.

   "...Well, that's right."

"is that so…?"

  Takada Shiori cast a suspicious look.

   "Then what were you talking about?"

   she asked.

   "This..." Tanaka hesitated for a while, his eyes kept wandering around, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, "It's this—!"

   Tanaka said loudly.

   "What, what? It's so loud all of a sudden?"

  Takada Shiori was taken aback.

   "Because today is pay day, so we were just talking about this!"

  Tanaka said firmly.

   "Then why do you say borrowing?"

  Takada Shiori asked.

   "Ah...that ah."

   Hearing Takada Shiro's question, Tanaka couldn't help sighing, first looking at Kato Yusuke with sympathy, and then speaking to Takada Shiori.

   "I didn't want to tell you, but since you heard it, there's nothing you can do..."

   There was a sense of disappointment in his tone.

   "Actually, this kid Kato asked me to borrow money just now. He said that he was having some difficulties at home recently, and he had not eaten for several days..."

   "That's a lie, right?"

  Takata Shiori interrupted him directly: "Isn't the cooked food in our store free to eat?"

   "And the salary was just paid today, how can you use all that money?"

  Takata Shiori said coldly.

   "This is...that, it's actually because Kato was scammed by the phone."

  Tanaka hesitantly explained.

"…real?"

  Takada Shiori looked at Kato Yusuke with questioning eyes.

   It happened that Kato Yusuke also looked over, and their eyes met in the air. Takada Shiori couldn't help but think of what happened in the afternoon, which made her cheeks slightly red, and her expression became a little unnatural.

"Do not…"

   Kato Yusuke opened his mouth and was kicked in the foot just as he was about to deny it.

   Out of the corner of the eye, I saw Tanaka winking at him desperately.

   So he sighed, reached out and made a gesture under the table.

   "5000 yen".

  Tanaka was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and returned a gesture.

   "500 yen".

   Kato Yusuke raised his brows, turned to look at Takada Shiori and said, "Of course it's fake..."

  Tanaka's face changed drastically, he grabbed Kato Yusuke's arm and made another gesture.

   "2000 yen".

   "OK"!

   "Fake? What fake?"

  Takada Shiori looked over suspiciously.

   "What did you just say?"

"Um…"

   Kato Yusuke stared blankly, then cleared his throat and said.

   "Sorry, it's exactly what Tanaka-senpai said, blame me for being too careless."

The tone of    was full of self-reproach. Kato Yusuke lowered his head first, as if he didn't want people to see his weak side, but immediately raised his head and said in a stubborn tone.

   "But it's okay, I'm fine by myself!"

  's voice trembled slightly, and the boy gritted his teeth, as if no amount of difficulty could destroy him.

   At this moment, let alone Takada Shiori, even Tanaka looked at Kato Yusuke with astonishment.

   "Could it be true what I just said!?"

The thought of    came to Tanaka's mind, and the emotions of pity and remorse filled his heart, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand, wanting to comfort this strong and unyielding boy.

result…

"brush-!"

  Takada Shiori held Kato Yusuke's hand tightly with a distressed look on his face, then put his hands on his chest, and said to Kato Yusuke with tears in his eyes.

   "It's okay, I'll support you!"

  Tanaka: ? ? ?

   Kato Yusuke: ? ? ?

   (I wish there was a rich woman who could see through my stubbornness and protect my frailty... a ghost!?)
