After finishing the phone call, Komemon Shizuo came over and said to Suzuki Ayako who was sitting on the bench: "It's very late. Why don't you go home first and I'll just stay here to deal with it."
Suzuki Ayako quickly shook her head and said: "How is that possible? This incident was all caused by me."
"There is no need to say such things. No one wants this kind of thing to happen, and there is no need to place the blame on yourself."
"Although you say so, please let me stay. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to sleep peacefully when I get home. I have to see things resolved before I can breathe a sigh of relief, okay?" Suzuki Ayako asked, raising her face.
road.
"..."
Shizuo Komemon stopped trying to dissuade him and sat down on his own, acquiescing.
He said calmly: "I was busy working at noon, and was interrupted by an emergency halfway through lunch."
He felt guilty before, but now at least he has the confidence to say so. He really has a job.
Hearing this, Suzuki Ayako rummaged through her bag, then took out a small box, held it in both hands and brought it to him, "If you don't mind, you can have some of this first."
Shizuo Komemon looked at the box and hesitated. Could it be chocolate?
Suzuki Ayako seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained in a low voice with a blushing face: "I made some cookies myself. Because you said you were busy at work today and worried that you wouldn't be able to eat, so I prepared some snacks that are easy to carry.
.
I originally wanted to send it to you, but I thought it would be inappropriate to disturb your work presumptuously, so I didn't go."
"Thank you." Shizuo Komemon said dryly, then took the box and opened it.
Pieces of cookies are neatly stacked in the box. Judging from the candied fruits dotted on them, they must be cranberries.
Taking a bite, the rich milk aroma fills your mouth, and the slight acidity of the cranberry just dissolves the greasiness of the cookies.
It tastes great and suits his taste very well.
Suzuki Ayako saw that he was eating deliciously, with a happy expression on her face, "Actually, I really want to make chocolate."
Shizuo Komemon made a move.
"But even 'thank you' seems a little unreasonable."
Shizuo Komemon listened silently.
"It would be great if time could be accelerated, so that I could know Gumei Mensang for a long time. At least I could give him a chocolate to thank you for your continued care."
Although Suzuki Ayako had a faint smile on her face, her expression showed full of regret.
Shizuo Komemon sighed, "It seems cruel to say this at this time, but if you don't say it now, it will only become crueler in the future. Give up on me. It's really inappropriate."
Suzuki Ayako lowered her head slightly and remained silent for a long time. Then, in a voice as loud as a mosquito or a fly, she seemed to be talking to herself: "Can you let me try harder? At least give me a chance to try, can you?"
Shizuo Komemon felt that his throat was even tighter. He bit the bullet and said in a dry voice: "I'm not worth it. I will only waste your time."
Suzuki Ayako raised her face, smiled, and acted very assertive for the first time, "Shouldn't I be the one to make my own judgment on this kind of thing?"
Shizuo Komemon opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
"I know very well that in matters like marriage, it is a bit delusional to ask for love or something, but I think you should at least try hard to strive for it. At least working hard can be your own choice.
Gumei Mensang, although we have only met twice, I am absolutely sure that if I miss you, I will not wait for a more suitable person.
Marriage is something that is rarely worth looking forward to. Now this is the best I can hope for.
So, even if you won't fall in love with me, please at least allow me to fall in love with you.
Last time Gumemen-san told me to do what I want to do, but this is what I want to do.
Even if it’s just once, I want to experience the feeling of love in my life, even if it’s just one-sided..."
Shizuo Komemon stood up suddenly, "Sorry, I'm going down to get some fresh air."
Saying that, he ran away.
Suzuki Ayako looked at his back, her face slowly turned red, and she covered her hot cheeks with her hands.
How shameful, why did I say those words just now? Gu Meimen-san shouldn’t think that she is a frivolous woman, right?
She brushed her hair around her ears, fanned her cheeks with her hands to cool down, and smiled helplessly as she thought about it.
It seems that I used a little too much force and scared the other party. I felt that I had good momentum just now, but I accidentally became impatient.
It’s a bit too early to say these words now, but... Komemon-san’s panic looks a bit cute...
…
Downstairs, Shizuo Komemon was venting his frustration on a tree. The noise caused some people to look over, but they all shrank back in fear of the violent scene.
"Gu Meimen Criminal, what are you doing? Did that tree offend you?"
When Machiko Dai arrived, she was dumbfounded as she watched a big tree that had just been pulled out of the ground with fresh soil being violently thrown around by Shizuo Komemon.
"why you?"
Before Shizuo Komemon could restrain his evil spirit, Machiko Dai took a look at him and was so frightened that her heart beat violently.
"Yes, it's lawyer Gu Meimen. He asked me to come. He said he had something to do and asked me to help with it."
Full of resentment.
Shizuo Komemon frowned and started hitting the tree again.
"If it doesn't offend you, please let it go. It's so pitiful." Machiko Dai said cautiously.
"..." Shizuo Komemon dropped the tree and walked towards her.
Machiko Dai quickly covered her face with her briefcase, "Don't hit me!"
"Let's go and take care of it." Shizuo Komemon said calmly.
Machiko Dai opened one eye and saw that she was really not beaten, so she took a deep breath, clasped her hands towards the scarred tree, prayed for him, and then quickly followed.
"Is everything clear?"
"Gu Meimen's lawyer just said a few words, saying that you hurt someone because of Gu Meimen's crime, and asked me to negotiate compensation..."
"The incident happened in an art gallery. The other person was the art museum director. He was wearing medieval armor and pretending to be an exhibit in the art gallery. Then he suddenly jumped out from behind me and rushed at me with a sword. I kicked him.
If you negotiate a lower limit, I can completely accept compensation for medical expenses and other reasonable requirements, as long as it's not too excessive, and you can do the rest by yourself."
"If that's the case, there's no problem at all!" Machiko Dai suddenly felt confident.
"By the way, I went in to visit the museum after it closed."
"..." Dai Machiko's expression suddenly froze, "That might... be a bit, not very good..."
"So, what are you going to do if you can't handle it?" Shizuo Komemon stopped and turned to look at her.
Machiko Dai said aggrievedly: "How do I know? It's not what I wanted to come."
"Didn't Kensuke tell you how to deal with it?"
"..."
Machiko Dai's eyes wandered, and she did tell her something, but she couldn't say these things.
"Forget it, let's go up and check the situation first. If it doesn't work, let Kensuke do it." Shizuo Komemon shook his head.
Machiko Dai suddenly puffed up her cheeks and huffed angrily.
