#61 It's Better This Way

Kenji ran into the ER, followed by Ryu. No one cared about the car parked haphazardly outside.“Tanaka! Just got admitted... bleeding..." Kenji breathlessly informed the registration staff. Not from running, but from panic.“One moment…” The staff quickly began checking.“HURRY!” Kenji hissed dangerously.“Calm down; it’s only been five seconds,” Ryu tried to reassure him. But the staff didn't seem too affected; they were already used to panicking family members.“Yes, Akiko Tanaka. She was discovered at a bus stop and has since been admitted. But there hasn't been a report on her condition yet, which means the doctor is still working on her. I ask for your patience.”The answer came within a minute, but it wasn’t the kind that would put Kenji at ease. Kenji erupted.“WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG?! What are you even doing? I’ll make all of you pay…”“Kenji! ENOUGH!” Ryu snapped, pulling Kenji away. His outburst frightened the staff, and if it continued, the police might be called; that wou

#62 You're That Happy?

"Kyoko-chan!" Akiko greeted as cheerfully as possible, but Kyoko’s response was clearly an annoyed huff."What’s wrong with you again? Sick, again? Why do you get sick so often?"Since they were talking over the phone, Akiko couldn't see Kyoko's expression. She didn’t know whether Kyoko was genuinely scolding her or just concerned.Talking to Kyoko required not only skill but also face-to-face interaction. Speaking over the phone like this made it difficult for Akiko to gauge her reaction."I don't understand, either; my body just feels weak suddenly. They said I’m too worn out and need rest," Akiko said.She said it in a somewhat cheerful tone, but there was no smile on her face. Akiko slowly placed her hand on her stomach. Nothing had changed, because from the beginning, her belly had not shown any noticeable change. But she still felt empty—like something was missing there."Hey! Are you even listening to me?

#63 I Don't Care Anymore

"Where's Inoue?"Kenji realized that only Ryu was present in the office and asked him a question. Kenji was too lazy to check his phone. Moreover, it was unusual for Ryu to be there.Ryu's office was in Shingi Fusaya, a different building. Although it was only a 10-minute walk away, it wasn't Kenji's building.“Mm... Are you going to kill her?” Ryu asked cautiously. He was there to ask about that.“What?” Kenji frowned. “Who?”“Since that incident, Inoue has been afraid you’re going to kill her,” Ryu explained with a sigh.“Oh, no. I don’t care,” Kenji said as he took off his coat and sat down at his desk. He opened his laptop and began working.“Where is she?” Kenji asked, looking up at Ryu, who was still standing there with his mouth agape. Ryu had been frozen in shock for a while.“What did you just say?” Ryu stepped forward, star

#64 Right But Feels Wrong

"...and regarding the financing of the construction of the hydroelectric power plant in the country..."CRASH!The man who had been speaking in front of the projector froze. The entire meeting room fell into a dead silence. Kenji had just thrown his phone at the wall, frustrated after hearing a recording sent by Inoue.Kenji was furious with himself for automatically choosing to listen to the whole thing, which wasn't a sign of indifference. As soon as he understood, he should have stopped the recording.The phone shattered into pieces, scattering into several parts, and everyone in the room only dared to glance at him. There were about ten people present, and all of them pretended not to see what Kenji had done—except for Ryu, of course. But even Ryu only dared to furrow his brow. He didn’t ask why Kenji felt the need to throw his phone.Kenji sighed and leaned back in his chair, staring at the frozen man in front. The man

#65 A Place For Me

“I'll choose this." Despite having a long list of apartments to view, Akiko made her decision after visiting only two locations. Kyoko had gotten the data from one of her friends who worked in Shingi Fusaya’s marketing department.“Are you sure? This is really high up.” Kyoko looked skeptically at the stairs in front of the apartment building. The stairs were made of iron, but that didn’t guarantee their sturdiness.The available apartment was on the top floor—the third floor. Akiko would have to go up and down those stairs every day. It could be dangerous if the stairs weren’t in excellent condition.“Yes, and it’s fine that it’s high. I can still handle going up and down stairs. Don’t underestimate my legs,” Akiko exclaimed, patting her legs. Her mind was made up.Kyoko shunted Akiko. “Don’t tell me you picked this place just to bother me every day.”Kyoko w

#66 Just Go Home

"Enough! No more drinking. If you want to go home, then just go!" Ryu snatched the cup from Kenji's hand, preventing him from drinking more. Kenji had been downing sake like water for some time, not caring how much.Kenji brushed Ryu's hand away. "Leave! Stop bothering me."Ryu sighed and sat beside him. They were at one of Kuryugumi's restaurants. Even if Kenji stayed there all night, no one would disturb them.Ryu had planned to continue working, but he received a call from Inoue asking him to come to the restaurant, as it was clear that Kenji's condition was worse than usual—far worse than on previous days.This wasn’t the first time Kenji had been like this. Ever since he stopped going home, Kenji had been spending almost every day in bars or restaurants, drinking himself into oblivion. Afterward, Ryu would usually take him to a hotel and leave him there.Ryu could forcibly take Kenji home if he wanted, but he valued his life. He di

#67 Goodbye Forever

Akiko had fallen to the floor, covering her mouth tightly. She hoped that Kenji wasn't angry because of that bump.Kenji slowly sat up, rubbing his undoubtedly painful head, and looked around. Akiko wanted to run, but Kenji was right by the door. She was already inside Kenji's room."Kiko-chan? Why are you here? When did you arrive?" Kenji asked, seeing Akiko.Akiko's mouth fell open, as she had just clearly seen Kenji smiling in amusement. She couldn't recall the last time she'd seen such a smile.Akiko blinked several times, trying to see if the smile would vanish like an illusion. But it didn’t.It turned out Kenji’s level of drunkenness was far worse than usual. When Kenji was angry and drunk, he could still speak logically. However, this version of Kenji no longer made any sense. There was no reason for Kenji to smile after hitting his head like that."Could I have given him a concussion?" Akiko murmured in panic,

The Spring is Coming

“You’ll be late if you keep standing there like that!”Kyoko grabbed Akiko’s hand, who had been standing still with her hands outstretched, trying to catch the cherry blossom petals swirling around them.“But it is beautiful. I still want to watch it,” Akiko protested, though it was impossible to resist Kyoko’s pull.“We’re here to see the flowers! You can look at them again later, when we arrive. We’ll be considered late if we don’t hurry,” Kyoko urged Akiko to keep moving into Nishinomaru Park.“So what if we’re late? It’s just a hanami event, not an official ceremony. We don’t have to be exactly on time. They’re not going to take attendance.” Akiko confuse.Kyoko clicked her tongue. “This is your first hanami with Shingi Fusaya, so I’ll forgive you and won’t insult you too harshly for your ignorance. Trust me—you want to arrive on time, not the same time with the board of directors. You’ll become a spectacle.”“Oh… They’re coming too.” Akiko’s eyes widened in amazement. Of course,

#69 You Need To Get Married

“I heard you’ve been very busy.” Using a spoon, Masaki lifted a Sakura petal that had fallen into his teacup.“It’s supposed to be like that. I have a lot of work to finish," Kenji replied politely, sipping his tea. His eyes gazed at the lush flowers behind his father.Of course, this annual Hanami event was a tradition his father preserved, though Kenji wasn’t particularly fond of the idea of appearing before so many people. But he couldn’t do away with the tradition. On days like this, they would sit together in the garden for hours, enjoying the flowers and the sound of laughter from afar.They didn’t sit with the other employees. They weren’t even sitting on the ground. They sat at a table and chairs that had been set up farther away in the garden. Various snacks were available, but Kenji had only touched his tea so far.Kenji couldn’t shake the tension he felt every time he met his father. There were too many things he kept hidden from him.“Ryu said you had an accident because

#70 Your Name...

"Why have I never seen you before?"Akiko smiled at the question, unsure of how to respond. She reluctantly accepted a drink from Endo, even though she didn't really want it.Endo was one of the managers at Shingi Fusaya, and Akiko had never met him before today. Akiko usually dealt with someone else whenever she needed assistance from that department.Endo held a position equivalent to Mori's, which was why Akiko had been trying to maintain her composure and be polite. If it weren't for that, Akiko would have moved away already. She didn’t want to be near Endo. He was a bit too enthusiastic and had been offering Akiko sake nonstop since the afternoon, during the hanami, and continuing through dinner at the hotel.Earlier, Akiko had accidentally sat next to him after moving to a different spot, but now Endo had deliberately sought her out and sat beside her.At this point, the entire group of Hanami participants had dispersed into separate rooms for dinner at the inn where they were
