Chapter 81 - Unrelated Matters

"You're 'Lulu'?" So this Queen guy is what this blue haired dude talking about all this time?

Queen faked a cough and handed the snacks he had to the blue haired guy. "Ehem. I didn't know you have a guest here, Glitch. And haven't I told you not to call me by that nickname?" He was pretty embarassed being called 'Lulu'.

"Who cares! I'll call you however I want, Lulu~"

"Glitch!"

"Hehehe!" The blue haired guy childishly got back on his bed and continued to play on his phone while munching on the snacks Queen brought.

Then we were left at an awkward silence as we watch that damned blue hair bastard. "I apologize… he's just like that."

"I can see." So blue shit bastard here is a man-child.

"Anyways, you're a part of the Wild Beasts gang, am I right? How did you get here? They all left hours ago."

I sighed as I have to tell my pitiful story to this gentleman. "Well, it all started when I was called out by one of my superiors. The discussion didn't go well and I had to take a breather and… ended up getting lost and stuck with that blue haired man-child." I said pointing at subject.

Yeah, I'll probably settle with blue haired man-child.

"Hey! That's mean of you, I have a name and don't call me that!" Blue haired man-child complained.

"Never knew about your name, so how am I supposed to call you?"

"Er… just call me 'Glitch'. Glitch is fine." Then he goes back to his game.

"Right, Glitch also made me do a bit of his job. I still haven't finished it though." It surprised Queen to hear that.

"He did?! Glitch!!!" Even if I can't see his face with that mask on, I can feel his glaring eyes at Glitch.

"What was I supposed to do?! I worked all day long and never had a break, you said you were going to help me but you showed up just now! It's nice that he's here… whoever he is." Glitch told Queen, and to me it sounded like the most ridiculous excuse ever.

"You careless shithead! Why the hell did you let a complete stranger deal with such important files?!"

It surprised me as Queen bursted his rage like that. I thought he'd be the patient and forgiving type of person, turns out he's the strict swearing boss.

"Oi! How dare you call your boss a shithead!" WHAT THE FUCK, THAT MAN-CHILD IS THE BOSS HERE!?

Queen suddenly turned to me and referred to me rudely. "Tsk, that doesn't matter! What matters is how much this child learned from this…" eh!? D-Did I got myself into something I should never meddled with?!

"Relax, Lulu~ it's just a paper that has lists of names. Nothing to worry about it, that child doesn't know a thing." It's weird how that man-child calls me a child himself, how old is he exactly?

"…is that so."

"Yep! The hard copies are made simple like that so nothing important can be leaked if someone ever knew about it. I already told 'ya, I prefer soft copies. Things will be more faster if you idiots listened to me."

"Y-Yes, I see… fine." Queen turned to me again and chuckled. "You're quite a lucky person, aren't you?"

"A-Ahahaha, I'm lucky?" I don't think so. Hearing this conversation feels like I never should have been here.

"You should've waited for me, Glitch. I actually took long because of the soft copy I made."

"Really now!? You should have told me sooner!!" Queen handed another thing to Glitch, and the file I was working on earlier got deleted. "I WORKED HOURS FOR THAT!" My mouth can't help but say the truth, it was my hardwork that had to be deleted.

"There's no need for that anymore, I got the soft copy!" He smiles happily, showing the fucking flashdrive.

"YOU SON OF A—" I held back the urge to ruin that face of his and just sighed it away.

Queen patted my back as if we're such close friends. "I would've hit him too."

"Alrighty then. I'll leave him to you, Lulu. Both of you are dismissed."

"Wait a minute, you said you'll pay me!" He can't make me leave if I don't get my pay!!

"Yeah, take care of that Lulu. Give him his share and add some compensation." He ordered Queen.

"Will do, sir."

I can't complain anymore when Queen dragged me out of the room. I thought I was scammed until Queen gave me the enveloped compensation, followed by an apology. "I'm sorry you had to deal with him, make sure not to run into him in the future alright?"

"Of course! T-Thank you for this..." the envelope contained a great amount that almost blinded me.

After he escorted me out of the place himself, he muttered something. "...so alike and yet, so different."

It only confused me, and he didn't say another word after bidding farewell. "Adieu!"
