Chapter 3: First job as a retriever
The four of them glued their eyes to each other.
Shiina was holding a file and Shin cheerfully smiles at them. Shiina grabs Kazumi's shirt and forcefully pull him at the back of the office. Kazumi asked her why did she pull him here alone. Shiina started judging Kazumi, his looks and his personality. And then, she started questioning Kazumi.
[Shiina]: Are you Yuuki's partner?
[Kazumi]: Yes? I am Kazumi Kazuto
[Shiina]: Will you hurt her?
[Kazumi]: Is that why you pulled me here?
[Shiina]: Im the one who's asking questions! *pouts*
[Kazumi]: I'm sorry(ughhh this girl is scary)
[Shiina]:i'm asking again, WILL...YOU...HURT...HER!?
[Kazumi] : Ofcourse not.
[Shiina]: Are you sure?
[Kazumi]: Yes
Kazumi feels awkward when Shiina didn't responding. Shiina is staring on him as if she was checking something out of Kazumi. Then Shiina's voice was suddenly become softened and gentle. "You should not hurt her, or leave her, like what her partner did last time". Kazumi was shocked to hear it from Shiina. Kazumi felt pity for Yuuki, and... It makes him angry. "I promise that i will not do the same things that some guy did. Even if you don't say it.
Shiina felt relieved. She felt like she can trust Kazumi to take care of Yuuki."Please take care of Yuuki, she might be like that but, she's a good girl.
Kazumi replied----"Yes". Shiina smiled at him. "Let's go back to them, Kazumi".
When they got back, Yuuki asked Shiina if they can borrow their car. Kazumi thought that it's unnecessary because they can just ride the retrieval Van.
[Kazumi]: We can just ride the Van right?
[Shin]: What? What? Will you retrieve machina now?
[Shiina]: Are you n idiot?
[Yuuki]:*stare daggers at him*
[Kazumi]: Or not? *smirked*
Shiina gives the the key of her car on Yuuki. "Take this". Yuuki and Kazumi rushed to get to the car drives away. While driving, they saw a glimpse of partner from another branch, The face of her machina was sad and frightened. Yuuki's looks angered, but he didn't bother asking.
Time before expiration: 02days, 08hours, 00 minutes
When they arrived at the location, Kazumi and Yuuki knock at the door instantly.
*knock*
*knock*
*knock*
"This is Machina limited corp. We want to talk to you" Kazumi loudly say these words but no one answered. Then someone speak at them at the back. "No one is home, but they will be back after an hour." Kazumi was frightened, while Yuuki already looked back and talked to her.
[Mitsuru]: Goodmorning, I am Mitsuru. How can i help you?
Mitsuru reconize their uniform, then she knew that she is the subject they want to talk Hayama family.
[Yuuki]: Goodmorning, I'm Yuuki.
[Kazumi]: I am Kazumi Kazuto, Kazuto is my surname and Kazumi is my given name. Nice to meet you. *bow*
[Mitsuru]: You're here to retrieve me right? *smiles*
[Kazumi]: We're here to talk to your family.
[Yuuki]: It was to let them know that we will retrieve you after 55 hours.
[Mitsuru]: I know.
After 45 minutes, Hayama family went home. Kaito Hayama is a businessman, he rarely get's home. It's the same to his wife, Shimizu Hayama.
When Kaito saw both of them, He knew what's going on. He immediately invites them to his house. When Kazumi and Yuuki enters the house they saw a young woman who is always behind Mitsuru. Kaito offers them tea.
[Kaito]: Sit down
[Kazumi]: Yes
[Yuuki]: Let me get straight to you, Mitsuru's remaining time is short.
[Kaito]: How short it is? *sips tea*
[Yuuki]: it was exactly 2days and hours now.
[Kaito]: So her retrieval is near.
Kaito and Shimizu's face are gloomy when they heard it. Their children ask's Mitsuru what are they talking about. Mitsuru said "It's too early for you know, Let's play outside, shall we?
After Mitsuru and their children got outside, Kazumi ask's to sign the files as a agreement for retrieval. But, Kaito was hesitant to sign it."May i ask you to let us think about it? We'll be here until her retrieval."
[Kazumi]: Sure.
[Yuuki]: From now on, enjoy being with Mitsuru. We will be back tomorrow for your signature.
[Kaito]: Yes, Thank you for consideration.
[Kazumi]: No, It's just our method to consider the feelings of other's before retrieving.
[Kaito]: Ah, i see.
Kazumi and Yuuki leave's Hayama's residence. Yuuki asked Kazumi to go to the coffee shop----Kazumi agreed. When they enter the shop, Yuuki asked Kazumi what kind of coffee he wants. The shop has four kinds of coffee beans. Arabica, Robusta, Librerica, and excelsa. Kazumi choose Liberica. "So? Then let's buy it. And, do you want to buy milk for your coffee?" Kazumi agreed.
After they bought the coffee beans, Yuuki test the coffe beans. After roasting it and grinding it to a sand like grains, Yuuki asked Kazumi if he wants hot water or hot milk.
[Kazumi]: I want to taste it without milk first.
[Yuuki]: ok
When Kazuki drinks it, He is stunned by the taste of coffee. He deemed it good, no------A great coffee. Yuuki smiles when he saw Kazumi enjoying his coffee.
