Chapter 11: Yamato family
It was the crack of dawn when Kazumi and Yuuki wakes up. They do our usual routine. They eat, take a bath, then go to office. When they got there, they sit in their workspace. When Naegi approach them with another work. "Kazumi, Yuuki, you got another job. Let's go to my office". Naegi discussed it immediately.
[Naegi]: Your work will be another retrieval.(gives them the retrieval file)
Retrieval File
Name: Canna

[Kazumi]: isn't it too soon than usual?
[Naegi]: Yeah, but the problem is that they are stubborn.
[Yuuki]: Do you mean they don't want to sign it?
[Naegi]: Yeah. Honestly, it will be a difficult job.
[Kazumi]: So, we will convince them to sign it?
[Naegi]: Yes. Don't waste your time here. Go and convince them now.
[Kazumi and Yuuki]: Yes, boss.
Kazumi and Yuuki immediately leaves. They approach Shiina to borrow her car. After borrowing, they immediately drive away and went to the said address. When they got there, they knock at the door but no one is responding. "Excuse me, May i talk to to someone?" they still not responding. "Maybe they are not here?" Kazumi replies "Let's go back after lunchtime". While they are walking at the sidewalk they saw a partner with the same uniform with them but different color. When both partners crossed each other, The girl whispered "Save me" from Kazumi's ears. Kazumi looked at them "Was it my imagination?"
It was already lunchtime. They took a light lunch and go back to Yamato's house. After several knock, someone finally opens the door for them. "Hello, we are from Machina limited corp. May i request that we talk?" The one who opens the door looked angry to them and said "We don't need you, Go home!" and immediately closed the door. Kazumi and Yuuki was speechless on that person's action so they leave for today.
[Yuuki]: Let's think of something that will convince that person.
[Kazumi]: Yeah.
They drive home and went to their room. Yuuki prepares their coffee as they talked about it.
[Yuuki]: So, what will we do now?
[Kazumi]: We should somehow convince them to listen to us.
[Yuuki]: That will be difficult.
[Kazumi]: But we need to convince that guy as soon as possible.
[Yuuki]: Yeah, so they can enjoy their remaining time.
[Kazumi]: But how?
[Yuuki]: Let me handle it in the morning. if i ever fail, you will convince them in the afternoon.
[Kazumi]: If you say so.
[Yuuki]: Let's ask others in the office some advice.
[Kazumi]: Yeah, let's do it.
Kazumi finished his coffee and went to find Kyousuke. Luckily, he was there. "May i talk to you? Kyousuke."Sure". They sit at the bench besides the office. Kazumi asked him how to convince the clients to sign the retrieval file.
[Kyousuke]: It was really hard, but you can explain to them that it was necessarry, and how is it became necessarry.
[Kazumi]: But they already know that right?
[Kyousuke]: Yeah, they know. But,
[Kazumi]: But?
[Kyousuke]: They refuse to accept the truth. What you need to do is to make them realize. That it is the time.
[Kazumi]: How will i do that?
[Kyousuke]: It's up to you, Kazumi.
Kazumi was surprised when Kyousuke gave him a meaningful advice. "Thank you very much". Kyousuke replies "Nah, It's nothing. Kazumi kun". Kazumi was motivated to do his job. He went to his room and think about how he will make him realize it. Yuuki calls him out of the blue.
[Yuuki]: Do you know what you will do tomorrow?
[Kazumi]: Yes. I'm thinking about it carefully.
[Yuuki]: Then that's nice. Want to take dinner?
[Kazumi]: But it's still 5pm.
[Yuuki]: I'm not saying now. Because i will still cook it for an hour.
[Kazumi]: Ohh, then i will take your offer.
[Yuuki]: Thank you.
Yuuki starts to cook dinner while Kazumi go back to his bed. He's thinking carefully on what will he do tomorrow. "I should be careful on my words and actions". When suddenly he remembers what that girl whispered to him. "Save me." He was thinking hard on what does it mean. After an hour of thinking, Yuuki called him to eat dinner. They eat silently as they both focused on what will they do.
[Yuuki]: Hey Kazumi.
[Kazumi]: Yes?
[Yuuki]: Is it hard to do this job?
[Kazumi]: It's not hard to do but...
[Yuuki]: But?
[Kazumi]: It is somehow hard to properly execute what we need to do.
[Yuuki]: I understand. We're ripping someone's memories after all.
[Kazumi]: Yuuki, Let's do our best tomorrow.
[Yuuki]: Yes, so sleep early today. We will wake up to do our task in the office and immediately go to them.
[Kazumi]: Yes, Let's do that.
After they ate, they lie to their bed and starts to sleep. But, Kazumi can't fall asleep. "What should i do?" Kazumi was thinking the same thing over and over again until his eyes gave up. And after 2 hours, he fell asleep.
"Hey Kazumi, You're still here right? I don't want to be alone, i want to stay with you. Please, always be my side."
