I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

If the director asked him to come as external aid, he would definitely be disappointed.

Aki Tomoya had little exposure to shogi and didn't understand it at all.

"If it's Go or chess, I have learned it, but I don't know how to play shogi at all."

Tomoya Aki looked at the director apologetically.

It was impossible to ask him for help; he didn't even know how to play shogi.

"Haha, it seems that the boy you brought with you can't help you!"

The old man laughed and looked at the helpless director with interest.

The director smiled helplessly, and said to Amami Tomoya, "Amami-kun, if you have nothing to do later, please stay with me."

When I brought Tomoya Aki out before, the director said that he was off work and could go back directly if there was nothing special.

Upon hearing this, Aki Tomoya nodded. He heard another meaning in the director's words.

Rather than saying that I am accompanying the director, it would be more like accompanying this old man who lives alone here.

This old man is the only one living in this place, and apart from him, there are only mountains of garbage to keep him company.

The director probably thought that one more person means more anger.

At the end of the game, the director still lost.

"I win again. Let's do it again next time."

"Ah, I'm still one step behind!"

“There is more than one way.”

When leaving, Akitomo specifically asked how long the old man had been living like this.

"It's been almost two years. He has been living like this since his wife passed away."

"A man has been living like this, comforting himself in his heart that his wife is still alive. As long as he doesn't admit it, he is not dead..."

Aki Tomoya muttered softly.

He could probably understand the old man's thoughts.

Two years ago, I had a quarrel with my wife and she passed away while she was away from home, without me even being able to see her for the last time.

When he was told that the person in the urn was his wife, the old man did not want to admit it even if it was the truth.

He stubbornly believed that his wife was still alive somewhere in the world, and as long as he didn't admit it, that person would come back one day.

The reason why I refused to claim it was probably because of this idea.

The director was also very patient and hoped that the old man could accept the fact that his wife was dead.

It is the responsibility of UDI to let the deceased return home.

Just denying it is not a solution, and their UDI storage has a time limit.

The director still hopes that the remains of the deceased can be claimed before the preservation period expires.

After parting with the director, Akitomo went straight home.

Because it is considered to be an early leave from get off work, it is also the earliest time to get home after the part-time job ends.

After cleaning up, Tomoya Aki started thinking about the fire and the ninth victim, former society member Saburo Machida.

The man's parents lost their son while living in guilt. They could not get over the thought that their son had caused the tragic deaths of other innocent people.

I just hope the Fire Department and the police can solve the case as soon as possible.

To be honest, these issues are not what he should worry about. The cause of the fire and whether there may be gang vendettas are things that others should worry about.

……

"What class are you doing this afternoon?"

During lunch break, Gao Mu lay on the table and asked others weakly.

He has been like this since morning, as if he had been drained of energy, and he had no idea what he had experienced last night.

"Biochemistry and Molecular Biology."

The sound next to him made Takagi alert. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Suzuya who appeared out of nowhere with an unhappy look on his face.

"I'm here to look for Amaki-kun and Mashima-kun. Takagi-kun, you don't look well. If you're sick, you'd better tell me as soon as possible. See you later."

Suzuya smiled slightly and looked at Takagi's expression playfully.

After he left, Gao Mu quickly asked: "When did he come? Why didn't you say anything?"

Tomoya Aki and Majima looked at each other, then frowned and looked at this guy carefully.

"I'm wondering if there's something wrong with you. Suzuya-kun has been there for quite a while, and you just lay there without any reaction..."

Aki Tomoya looked at Takagi worriedly.

It’s not that they didn’t make any sound, it’s that Gao Mu didn’t know what was going on and he didn’t respond.

"Why don't you take the afternoon off?"

Majima suggested.

Because now Takagi's complexion does not look very good.

"It's nothing. I was just disturbed last night. The little girl from my hometown broke up with her boyfriend and complained to me all night. I just woke up!"

Gao Mu shook his head and explained that there was nothing wrong with his body, he just slept for half an hour from yesterday until noon today.

"Your sister just started junior high school, right? Do kids nowadays start dating so early?"

Or is it because this is neon?

Tomoya Aki still remembers Takagi's younger sister who had just entered junior high school.

"No, an artist she was chasing after suddenly announced that he was getting married."

"..."

It turns out to be a daily routine for star chasers.

"It happens often. When she used to like watching cartoons, she would cry for a long time when a favorite character died. Ever since she saw a magical girl having her head eaten by a monster, she started to become a fan."

But unfortunately, the idol that the little girl liked was in love, and he looked very anxious last night, which made Takagi in Tokyo unable to sleep all night.

"Seeing her so sad, my heart really..."

Takagi sighed as he spoke.

"Takagi-kun is also a brother after all, so it's normal for him to feel bad."

"No, I'm so happy. I'm just upset because that little brat kept me up all night!"

Majima takes it back, this Takagi's relationship with his sister is terrible!

When Tomoya Aki and Majima saw this guy suddenly showing off, they rolled their eyes at the same time.

"By the way, what did Suzuya want to talk to you about just now?"

Chapter 349 His Father is a Firefighter (4/4)

Suzuya's arrival just now made Takagi's eyes more suspicious.

He was very curious about what Suzuya came here for just now.

"I, Takagisai, treat you as my brothers, you can't abandon me!"

Speaking in a funny tone, Takagi, who had a listless face just now, now seemed to be fully revived.

I only slept for half an hour from yesterday to today. This thing only needs thirty minutes to charge and it can last for a day.

"Nothing special, just discussing the topic the lecturer left for us, right, Amaki-kun?"

Majima explained that they were just discussing the topic left by the lecturer.

"Yes, we are just discussing the topic."

Both of them said so, but Gao Mu was a little skeptical.

He looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that they were hiding something from him.

"Really? You're not hiding anything from me, right?"

He didn't quite believe what the two said.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but Tomoya Aki and Majima acted in a way that could easily be misunderstood.

Tomoya Aki exchanged glances with Majima and said nothing more.

The two of them acted like this on purpose, which made Takagi even more suspicious.

He really wanted to ask more, but that would make him suspicious, as if he didn't trust these two people at all.

Just when Takagi was about to give up, he noticed the half-smiles on the faces of Tomoya Aki and Majima.

"Okay you two, are you teasing me on purpose?! Is it fun?!"

Gao Mu was so angry that his teeth were itching.

He finally understood that these two people were doing it on purpose, pretending to be hiding something from him and deliberately making fun of him.

Seeing that they had been found out, Tomoya Aki and Mashima no longer held back and just laughed out loud.

Looking at the shameless smiles of the two people on his left and right, Gao Mu felt so angry that he was speechless for a while.

"Whoever laughs again will be my brother-in-law from now on!"

Takagi's words made the two of them change color.

They immediately looked over with a confused look on their faces.

This guy must have just woken up, he could actually say such stupid things!

Want to arrest someone to be his brother-in-law?

It was something they could really say, and they were both convinced in their hearts.

"Fuck, keep laughing. Isn't my sister good enough?! Why do you dislike her so much?!"

Takagi was unhappy again. These two people were so scared, as if his sister was some kind of monster.

If he had known this earlier, he would have kept silent.

As a result, he got himself into trouble.

"Takagi-kun, I'm sorry, you know, I have a girlfriend."

And they have a very good relationship, and if everything goes well, they plan to get married.

Majima's words made Aki Tomoya sympathetically say: "Actually, I think I also have someone I like. I'm sorry..."

"Mashima, I understand, but what's wrong with you, Aki?! What do you mean by as if?"

"Uh...it's like...how about this, if you don't mind, I'll introduce your sister to Suzuya-kun?"

"You did this on purpose?!"

Gao Mu was really about to get angry to death.

Aki Tomoya's words are not only hurtful, but also infuriating.

He even brought Suzuya into the conversation and said he wanted to introduce him to Takagi out of pity. If this wasn't intentional, Takagi would have hit his head against a wall and died.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Amai, are you going to work part-time today? Please accompany me occasionally. Majima has a girlfriend, and only you and I are still single. If we don't support each other, who else can we be with?"

"Hey, that's disgusting, stay away from me!"

Aki Tomoya pretended to push Takagi away.

He didn't want to do anything like that with Takagi, where single guys huddle together for warmth.

"You are too disrespectful, aren't you?!"

"I'm not free recently. My part-time job is a bit busy right now. Let's wait for a while."

Aki Tomoya evaded the question casually.

The latter rolled his eyes upon hearing this and couldn't help but complain: "After a while, when Professor Yano returns to his country, you will also be busy in the pathology classroom!"
