"What are you doing here?"
Heisuke looked at his friend from head to toe.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead down to his chin. He casually brushed them with his sleeve. The hot weather really made one sweat easily.
Shuuya turned around once he heard the familiar voice. He rolled his eyes despite feeling glad to see his friend
"As the landlord, shouldn't I be here? I'm diligently doing my duty to my tenants. What about you? Have you finished your shift?"
"Should finish at eight but, I did some overtime," answered Heisuke, "I'll start my shift again at twelve tonight."
Today, Heisuke worked non-stop since dawn even though his manager and co-workers asked him to take it easy. Because the boss was so generous in paying any staff who worked overtime, he didn't stop until later.
He needed money, more money.
What drove Heisuke to work hard was his mother. If possible, he wanted her to stop tiring her old bones.
