"I'm the BOSS, if I say it's there, it's there — it's the smell of salted fish."

"There absolutely isn't!"
The two of them began arguing; after all, no girl could tolerate a "salted fish accusation."

She then fell silent and stood up to check who was trying to reach her... well, to reach Nanahara Takeshi; nobody had paged her yet.
