[District Chief's Office] Hannanaka-Abeno
Someone had been waiting for the two of them behind the door for a long time. With their faces sluggish and in a hurry from walking fast, Fuyuki and Mawaru were squatting in front of the district office gate. Before entering, they wiped the sweat that was streaming down their faces, "Tch! You are weak. " Fuyuki muttered to himself who then tidied the clothes he was wearing.
"Sorry, this time I was oversized." Said Mawaru who slightly confirmed her makeup.
"Let's go in." Invite Fuyuki to Mawaru who has finished confirming his makeup.
"Y-yes."
"DO NOT BE NERVOUS!" Said Fuyuki firmly and seriously.
....
They walked into the District Head's Office and there was Pak Nakamura.
Fuyuki walked over to him with the file "Excuse me ...."
"Eh yes," Pak Nakamura who was sitting behind the office table now stands up and is followed by Mawaru who was standing in front of Fuyuki now facing him. "I've been waiting for you-"
Mawaru suddenly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for being late!"
"A-ah, calm down." Pak Nakamura said, who didn't mind it. He patted Mawaru's shoulder lightly and looked at him gently so that Mawaru would not feel too bad for him (even though he was late).
Pak Nakamura understands Mawaru.
However, Mawaru looked at him worriedly.
Fuyuki just keeps quiet looking at the two of them (normal cool people)
"I thought you didn't come because you were busy."
"Ah no, I'm not currently on a mission," Fuyuki said calmly.
"Wait a minute yes, please sit there (in the chair that has been provided)."
"Good."
....
A few minutes later, Mawaru was summoned and made a temporary residence permit in the form of an ID card (but if the ID card is a permanent resident, let's call it a license).
Again, "It's that easy?"
"Save it carefully."
Done!
....
After arranging this residence permit, they both felt tired, empty stomachs, and rumbled on the road. Even Fuyuki's stomach, which was sounding loudly, was heard by Mawaru.
Fuyuki's face looked a little red because Mawaru suddenly turned his head at him.
"Nee, aren't there any food vendors around here?" asked Mawaru.
"A-ah, there are."
"..." Hungry Fuyuki bowed silently because he was embarrassed to be seen by Mawaru. He kept walking and stepping forward, while Mawaru just followed him, who knows where to go ...?
"Where?" Mawaru was surprised because all this time Fuyuki had been silent without telling him.
"Over there ..." Fuyuki raised his finger and pointed to the highway.
"Hm?"
"On the other side of the street near the park, there is a takoyaki shop. We'll eat there. " He said very seriously.
"Al-alright."
They started to cross the road together, at a red light that was now turning green.
"Tap Tap Tap" step by step the sluggish feet because their energy has not been filled with food at all began to approach the Tako shop. The smell of octopus cooking was reaching from the outside, about 50 meters where they were standing.
"...."
"We have arrived." Said Fuyuki who was standing in front of the shop while looking up at his shop billboard.
"Eh?" Mawaru feels strange and is amazed that there is a takoyaki shop around here. It turns out that it doesn't only serve takoyaki. You can order a variety of Japanese specialties, especially Osaka-shi dishes.
"Irasshaimase." A servant welcomed them...
Fuyuki and Mawaru sat on the chair by the window. Then another waiter delivered the menu list that the shop was serving.
"Douzou." By handing the list of menus served, Fuyuki accepted and showed Mawaru.
"What did you order?" he said very patiently facing Mawaru who was nervous about looking around and choosing food. Meanwhile, Fuyuki wrote a list of the ordered foods.
"Um, ... I ordered this ... and this."
"Is that all?"
"Yes," Mawaru answered briefly.
"Um, about the payment-"
"Calm down, I'll pay."
"But right, you have led me to be in return ..."
"Um? Can you do that? " then Fuyuki showed his order list.
"Many!!" Mawaru's heart, who suddenly changed its expression, felt burdened by something "Y-yes." Inevitably Mawaru had to say it. But-
"Never mind let me pay, if there is something you want, I'll add it to the list of orders," Fuyuki said casually, but he said without any sweet expression.
"He's too kind." Thought Mawaru who looked at Fuyuki with gentle eyes. Then Mawaru returned to the menu list. "Okay, I order this."
Finally, the order was made, and Fuyuki passed the order list and menu list to the waiter.
"Ah, I forgot! Please ask for the mineral water too. " Fuyuki said while giving the order list to the waiter.
"All right, please wait." The steward said with a friendly expression.
"Yes."
....
Behind Fuyuki's cool attitude, he turns out to be very loyal. Fuyuki wasn't arrogant either, in fact, he was kind from the bottom of his heart.
"Excuse ...." Mawaru started the conversation.
"Yes?"
"Th-thank you," Mawaru said shyly while playing with his shoulder. "You are very kind, have accommodated me, helped me take care of permission, and treat me."
"Yes, no problem." He answered briefly, resting his chin then looking at the window.
Mawaru looked at Fuyuki and smiled softly even though Fuyuki was just silent with a flat expression.
To others, Fuyuki looks like a cool person who is indifferent to his surroundings, even though he cares about his environment, especially his friends.
"Long time?" Chirped Fuyuki who was looking at his watch. While the one in front of him is only a glass of mineral water.
"Is it usually like this?"
"Hmm, not really. Maybe because it just opened. "
"Oh, I see."
"...."
A few minutes later, the order that was so large that it filled the dining table on the floor was served, delivered by the waiter.
Mawaru wanted to eat it right away but, before that- !!
He took out his cellphone and took a photo (it's so drooling! Immediately updated on the story on social media).
The habits of children today are commonplace.
Then Fuyuki took out his smartphone, with better camera capabilities and a wider screen. The shot is equipped with slow motion so that the image doesn't blur. (a Sony brand that was popular in Japan at that time - Why does it even sound like a trendy cellphone!
'CEKREK !!'
Fuyuki then showed the shots "Look!"
"Woaaaah ~" Mawaru was very impressed.
"Give me your cellphone ID. I'll send it. "
"Good."
After exchanging IDs, Fuyuki sent the photo to Mawaru. With 4G network speeds, messages arrive in just a few seconds. Mawaru immediately uploaded it.
"Once again, thank you." Mawaru looks happy.
Fuyuki smiled faintly seeing Mawaru cheerfully, "Yes. You're welcome."
They pressed their palms together and started eating with "ITADAKIMASU"
Fuyuki immediately ate heartily.
"Hehehe." Mawaru chuckled.
"What is wrong?"
"Um, not really."
In Mawaru's heart, "It turns out he's cute too."
....
A few minutes passed, after all the food in the shop was eaten up, "Fuaaah ~ full ...."
Fuyuki looked straight at Mawaru, he asked something "Mawaru, don't you want to look around the Osaka area?"
"Where are we going?" Mawaru just wanted to be lazy after eating his fill.
"For example a place you want to visit in Osaka ...."
"Oh yes there is."
"So where are we going?"
"Let's go to ...."
