Shinario-dōri ni Taijō Shita no ni, Imasara Nan no Goyōdesu ka?

While they were lost, Master Grecion and the others left with a mysterious and convincing comment, "Oh well... I see."

... What the hell was that?

"Sa, I totally ruined my time. I'll work my ass off and get it back!

Return to me with a good voice from the general. Yeah, I don't have time to be blurry.

"Yes! …… I apologize for disturbing you all on a personal matter!

First to the customer, then also to the general and Mark, to apologize and thank them, and back to work.

There's only a few hours left to work in this place. The dames, the people in the store who supported me without saying anything for six months, and the customers… worked hard, biting my gratitude.

"... so? After all, Chris, are you working here again?

Leo talked to me, who seemed slightly ill-decided, about approaching dinner time.

Leo was killing time at the store longer than usual because he was worried about the Hoods coming again. On the contrary, Mr. Mark caged Leo in the room "I'll take care of it later" when he arrived.

"No, I won't be working here until tomorrow. After that, after a week of studying at the mansion, I'm going to go to school again."

"…… is that Chris' will?

"Yes, I've been running away from all sorts of things... so I want to go without running away from the people around me."

It becomes an abstract way of putting it because I can't speak deep, but that's what I mean right now.

"Oh well, if Chris chose it himself, I'll be there for you. If you have any problems at school, can you count on me? I'm a senior for once!

Speaking of which, that's what Mr. Leo said. I don't think I can even rely on it that easily because I'm a senior student and I'm a man, but it's a great relief to just say so.

"... thank you, Leo!

When she was happy and smiled, Mr. Leo looked pokant for a moment.

"Ha ha, really, Chris, you've got a lot of expression."

"Thanks to the general and you all."

"That's right, Chris, who works here, he was really alive. It's a shame you can't see that anymore."

Saying so but for some reason leaving a satisfied smile, Mr. Leo left.

And that night.

Someone quietly approaches my table, where I mix up with my customers and eat when my time is up.

Oh?

I'm free for you right now, but your seat?

I thought so and looked up, and Mark, a strangely strange face, stood.
