"Come back soon, I'll prepare dinner for you."

Chapter 60 Late Punishment

in the afternoon.

There is only half an hour left before getting off work.

As expected, at the moment when everyone thought nothing had happened, Nanami Fumito was called to Yukiko Yumi's office for a talk.

I have never felt such a tense moment.

In the past, I could enter and leave Yukiko-senpai's office at will without any psychological burden, but now——

It's so difficult.

Nanami lowered her head, and her right hand holding the door handle had no intention of exerting force to open the door.

After a few seconds—

There were subtle footsteps coming from inside the door.

With a click, the door was opened from the inside.

What came into view was Yukiko-senpai, whose eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and whose face was full of displeasure.

"Oh, I thought Nanami had forgotten about being late."

"Sorry... it took a little while."

"Come in, there's no one else inside."

"Ah."

The brief conversation came to an end.

Nanami nervously sat down in front of Yukiko.

"Honestly, I don't want to hold Nanami responsible for being only ten minutes late to me, but you know, recently everyone seems to have different degrees of prejudice against my attitude towards you."

Yukiko leaned back, and the slight shaking of her toes wrapped in black stockings immediately attracted Nanami's attention.

"Well, I have heard rumors about this. In addition, I can clearly feel that the senior does not want to pursue such boring aspects. However, if I choose to ignore it, there is a high probability that it will cause everyone to criticize it. So it's okay, just punish me according to the rules."

Not good at hiding one's true thoughts.

Nanami bluntly stated her inner suspicions.

Yukiko looked at Nanami with her lips slightly parted.

Even the voice became surprised.

"Nanami... I'm surprised you can think of this. I'm really worried about this. If we treat your lateness as nothing, everyone will think, 'Ah, Yukiko is protecting Nanami again. Everyone is the same, except Nanami.' Those guys are just lazy at work, which leads to overtime. Those idiots who only know how to look at the surface don't know what they are doing. If they are more diligent at work, they won't have to work overtime. But those guys still can't understand this."

Yukiko was expressing her displeasure without noticing Nanami's embarrassed expression.

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out that Yukiko-senpai has always been worried about these aspects.

"Senior, your voice is a bit too loud."

Nanami lowered her voice and looked towards the closed office door.

I always feel——

Being with Yukiko gives me an indescribable strange feeling.

I clearly didn't do anything, it was just a simple conversation, but I felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in my heart.

Nanami turned her eyes away from Yukiko's toes.

Yukiko-senpai is undoubtedly someone worth learning from, and her figure and appearance are completely within my own aesthetic standards.

If he hadn't considered that the other person was his boss, he might have been unable to control himself and started pursuing her immediately.

"As punishment for being late, Nanami will be responsible for the sanitation of the work area before leaving. Don't be late next time. I don't like to hold people accountable for such boring things."

"Yeah. Thank you, Yukiko."

Just cleaning...

This kind of thing is totally doable.

Nanami stood up and bowed, and her peripheral vision inadvertently noticed something.

——The black stockings covering Yukiko’s thighs seemed to have slight tears.

The fair skin of her thighs was exposed, but Yukiko-senpai had no idea about it.

"Senior, there seems to be something wrong with the stockings."

Nanami swallowed and tried to focus elsewhere.

“Eh? It actually cracked? How could it be…”

"Maybe it's because Yukiko has been eating too much recently."

——Nanaha responded with the words the other party had mentioned before.

Yukiko obviously understood the other person's intention in saying this, her cheeks slightly blushed and her eyes were focused on the torn stockings.

Really.

There has never been any cracking...

But now this situation happened in front of Nanami.

How embarrassing.

---------

"Huh? Did Yukiko-senpai punish Nanami so severely? She was only ten minutes late but she had to clean the entire work area. Isn't that a bit too much?"

When cleaning at my colleague Yoshida's workstation.

As a colleague with whom he maintained a relatively good relationship, Yoshida's complaints were particularly abrupt in the quiet working area.

"Yoshida, that's a little too loud."

Nanami showed an embarrassed expression.

"Really? Everyone was late before, but Nanami was the only one punished. Are you guys idiots? You never considered your own reasons when you were late, and you never thought about accepting punishment. But when others are late, you start to put on this 'senior' attitude and put pressure on them?"

Yoshida spoke without restraint, not caring at all that he was in a public place.

After seeing Yoshida's impressive look, the colleagues around him lowered their heads and stopped talking.

The original expression of watching a play disappeared, replaced by another look of being immersed in work.

"Yoshida, um...thank you for standing up for me."

Seeing Yoshida making enemies with his entire work area for his own reasons, Nanami was deeply moved.

Really.

In response to Yoshida's help, we should also give him a little return.

Well then - let's use our super powers.

Nanami leaned in closer, lowering her voice to a level that only they could hear.

"Well... if Yoshida has time when he returns, he can try 'bond play' with his wife. This is a special play method I saw in a magazine. It is said to have a miraculous effect on strengthening the relationship between husband and wife."

"Oh - my wife did mention it to me last time, but I didn't pay attention to it at that time. Thanks to Nanami's reminder, I'll try it after I go back. In addition, thanks to Nanami's words last time, the relationship between husband and wife has become quite harmonious now."

Yoshida Naoya laughed wildly and patted Nanami's shoulder.

"Nanami, I've been really grateful to you recently. Nanami has a lot of experience in this area. If you get married in the future, please invite me."

Yoshida seems like a senior.

Being patted on the shoulder like this, Nanami laughed a little embarrassedly.

Getting married——

This kind of thing is still quite far away.

Nanami kept her attention out the window.

I subconsciously thought of Arisu-san in my mind.

In addition-

Tonight's dinner will be prepared by Arisu-san himself.

It is said that this is a special dinner that is infused with love.

Quite looking forward to it.

Chapter 61 Bottom Line

"I'm back, Arisu."

As usual, Nanami Fumito placed her changed leather shoes on the shoe cabinet. She immediately noticed Arisu Sato, who was wearing an apron and had her hair fixed at the back of her head, and looked like a "housewife".

Oh--

Today it's Arisu-san who's wearing an apron.

"Welcome back, Nanami."

Just like a scene from an anime, after a brief conversation, Nanami took off her suit and hung it on a hook beside her.

anyway--

Nanami silently stared at Arisu, whose hair was fixed.

Without the cover of hair, the scar on his forehead became clearer than ever.

Arisu-san has overcome that aspect.

——It’s great to see Arisu-san grow up by openly showing off his physical shortcomings.

"Dinner is curry rice that has been infused with love."
