Is it because of what happened yesterday?

I recalled the scene I witnessed on the bus.

——As far as I can remember, I have never seen Yukiko-senpai look so depressed.

Is it because of the 'sister' she mentioned?

As far as I can remember, this is the first time such a scene has happened.

——Because of other factors, Yukiko-senpai actually neglected the work that she valued most.

"Nanami, what are you thinking about? You've been looking so sad since just now."

My colleague Yoshida Naoya, with rice grains on the corner of his mouth, leaned forward.

"I was thinking about Yukiko. She's been acting pretty strange since she got off work yesterday. I was worried she might do something drastic."

no way.

Everything that happens to Yukiko always makes people unconsciously think of the worst.

Although this may be a bit too sensitive.

However, as her boss whom she had worked with for a year and also one of her few female friends, Nanami simply could not ignore what happened to Yukiko.

Although Yukiko doesn't seem like the type of person who would easily commit suicide.

But... this kind of thing cannot be confirmed.

"Yukiko-senpai... Hey, Nanami is really going too far. She's already dating a pretty junior, but she's still obsessed with a mature senior? Just a heads up, as far as I know, people who try to have their cake and eat it too have a bad ending."

"... Yoshida-kun, please don't mock me at this moment. I don't have such strange thoughts... I am a man who yearns for pure love with all my heart."

Nanami showed a distressed look.

The reply letter sent to Yukiko received no response.

Not only that, but the same is true for outgoing calls.

All signs seem to indicate that... Yukiko-senpai is very strange compared to before, both in character and in other aspects.

"Hey, I'm just kidding, but if you're just worried about your senior, it would be okay to just call and ask, right?"

Call us to inquire...

If this worked, you wouldn't be posing in such a weird way, Yoshida-kun.

Nanami fixed her gaze diagonally downward.

Yukiko-senpai...

No, she definitely didn't look like the type to give up her life easily.

----------

The agonizing time of getting off work finally arrived.

After simply tidying up her work area, Nanami clocked in and boarded the commuter bus.

The scenery on both sides of the road keeps receding, and the rough outlines of tall buildings.

The handrail is shaking overhead, and students are getting on and off the bus.

I have no time to care about what is happening around me.

The bus arrived at the station, Nanami got off quickly and jogged towards the apartment.

I suddenly appeared at Yukiko's house. I will explain the details of this matter to Arisu-san later.

Nanami called Yukiko again.

At this moment, a subtle ringing sound was heard from across the entrance door.

......Are you at home after all?

Nanami raised her right hand.

The moment my palm touched the door——

The door in front of me shook slightly.

After a slight hesitation, Nanami stretched out her right hand, and as the strength applied to her fingertips increased, the door was pushed open the next moment.

What comes into view——

The living room is shrouded in darkness.

The light was blocked by the curtains, and the lit screen of the mobile phone was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

The figure lying in the living room hallway -

The moment the phone lights up.

The bedroom door was suddenly opened.

What appeared before my eyes——

A high school girl with short red hair... and wearing simple pajamas.

——Yukiko-senpai’s younger sister.

Chapter 117 Sorry, I'm not the kind of gentle man who won't hit a girl

"…Who is it?"

The matter of breaking into Yukiko's house without permission was put aside for the time being. The more important aspect that should be focused on now was how to explain everything to her under the vigilant gaze of her 'sister'.

Knowing this, Nanami Furen turned on the fluorescent light in the living room at the entrance with ease.

"Hello, I'm Yukiko's junior and a colleague working in the same company, Nanami Fumito."

"Nanaha... huh..."

In response to the arrival of the strange man in front of her, the girl with short red hair began to introduce herself perfunctorily: "Oh, I'm Mami, the younger sister of this guy."

This guy...?

I actually used this kind of description.

Nanami looked at Yukiko, who was reeking of alcohol and lying on the floor at the entrance of the living room without any reaction.

"Did you drink a lot, Yukiko? You even forgot to close the door."

"...I don't know. I was sleeping."

"Shouldn't we advise her? Excessive drinking is very harmful to the body, and Yukiko is the kind of person who can drink."

"So annoying..."

"Hmm? Did Asami-san just say anything?"

"Didn't I tell you? It's so annoying!"

Asami's reaction is really intense...

In addition-

Another aspect that is slightly worth noting.

My eyes focused on the top of Asami-san's head.

An abrupt 'transparent window' appears within the field of vision.

A super special 'probability event'.

[If you choose to do nothing, the probability of taking compulsory measures later will be 50%]

The probability of being correct is exactly the same as the probability of being wrong.

It is not clear what the term 'coercive measures' means in the context of 'probable events'.

but--

Nanami stopped in front of Asami.

His eyes, which were much higher, looked towards the face diagonally below.

"I'm your senior, Asami-san, even if you don't use honorifics, you should pay attention to your tone when you speak. If you adopt this kind of attitude of accountability, it will make the other person feel offended."

Nanami...Literati...

Is he the boyfriend that 'that guy' values ​​very much?

Yukiko Asami kept staring at the other person.

His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, causing a stinging sensation.

If it weren't for that guy's appearance...

——Arisu Sugar.

You won't be humiliated in front of everyone, and everything you have done will never be exposed.

If it weren't for that guy's betrayal...no one would have known what was done to Sawamura.

It's all because of that guy...

It's all because of that guy...

Reality has developed to this point.

It has developed to such an irreversible point.

"Well, I can sense that you've always been concerned about Asami. Yumi is the kind of person who would never ask for leave even if she had a high fever, and she's very responsible at work. But, for Asami, she didn't show up at the company for a single day. I hope you can understand that as a sister, you've really been very responsible."

Nanami turned around.

After a brief contact, he had already noticed it.

Mami is not the kind of person who can change her deeply rooted ideas with just a few words.

In that case——

Since it is not easy to make the other party change, it is better not to waste time on these things.

Nanami stood up.
