CH 60

On the other hand, Kusuo Kisogawa…….

“I’m sorry, but I can’t hire you at my company.”

“Hmwha?! Why!”

Kisogawa is in the meeting room of a certain company.

Dressed in a suit, Kisogawa was having an interview.

…… After the commotion at the coffee shop.

He was caught by the police, but although he was given a stern warning, he was somehow easily released.

After that, Kisogawa had no place to live, and ended up living at his parents’ house.

Feeling embarrassed to stay with his parents forever, he started job hunting …….

“I heard that you were fired from your previous publishing company. Tell me, what happened?”

“T-that’s …… that’s~…….”

He couldn’t honestly say that it was because he had been sleeping with an employee’s wife and cheating on her with several other women.

“In that sense, you must have done something shady.”

“N-No, I didn’t! Seriously, I didn’t do anything, I swear!”

But the interviewer’s expression twisted in displeasure.

“What’s with that attitude and language …… did you really work for Takanawa?”

Kisogawa was indignant at being made fun of.

“T-That’s right!　I’m a man who worked for Takanawa!

He tried to mount himself with his work history, but it was …….

Like I said what happened?　After all, you’ve been fired, haven’t you?”

“Nggat ……!”

Kisogawa was perplexed, sweating profusely under his armpits.

(Why? !　Why isn’t this going well at all!　Is it a conspiracy!　Who?!)

…… No, it’s purely because Kisogawa’s skills as a member of society are overwhelmingly lacking.

Haa… the interviewer sighed and looked over the entry sheet.

“You’ve never done anything in college. Your grades were in shambles. I don’t know how you could get a job at Takanawa. Well, I guess they didn’t use the right methods.”

“S-Shut up!”

When the truth was revealed, Kisogawa’s face turned red and he shouted.

This is your selfish fantasy!　I came here thinking I was going to join this company!

“……How dare you come to the interview with that attitude?”

The interviewer sighs and says.

“You can leave now.”

…… Kisogawa left the company and walked with heavy steps.

“Damn it!　Everything’s going wrong…….!”

In the evening, Kisogawa sighs to himself.

He went to interviews with publishers, including Ugematsu, but …… all of them were no good.

As the former deputy editor said, the whole industry knew that he had joined Takanawa through the back door.

Then, he tried to get a job at a general company that he had no interest in, but …….

The result was no good.

First of all, the entry sheet was rejected.

Even if he was lucky enough to make it to the interview, it will be the same sitiuation like before.

“I’ve never been …… like this before. …… Everything was going so well. …… Damn it…! …!”

Kisogawa took out a hand mirror.

His well-formed face was distorted from the beating Saburo had given him.

The high nose he prides himself on is broken and bent like a witch.

His face was also punched into the shape of a fist where he had been hit.

“That damn Terminator ……!　If I ever see you again, I’m going to charge you alimony!　Goddamn it!”

Anyway, his face was no longer as neat as it used to be.

The advantage of his appearance has been completely taken away.

When a man who is only good on the outside loses his pride in his good looks….

He’s just another a*****e.

“Damn it…..If I don’t get a job, my parents will look at me like I’m crazy. …… I need to get a job. ……”

Currently, he has no job and no woman to support him.

This is a situation where he has to rely on his parents.

Since he was fired from his previous company, his parents are very unhappy with him.

Since Kisogawa is hiding the reason why he was fired, his parents seem to distrust their son even more.

“Get a job and get the hell out of that shitty family home. ……!　Let’s see, it’s time for my part-time job.”

Kisogawa headed for a diner near his house.

If he kept walking, he’d be five minutes late, but he’d get there.

“Well, it’s okay if I’m five minutes late. I mean, it’s not my fault. The interview was delayed and it’s their fault.

….But

“Kisogawa-kun. You’re fired.”

“Hmwa?! Why? !　Manageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr!”

In the office of the family restaurant where I work part-time.

The manager said with a sigh.

“You, how many times have you been late since you started working?”

When asked how many times, he couldn’t count because he was already running so late.

“You know, you take your job too seriously.”

“Guu, don’t be so high and mighty!”

Kisogawa tried to argue, but the manager looked at him coldly.

“No, you’re making fun of this job. Maybe you think that part-time work is not a proper job.”

“Haa?　What are you talking about, ……?”

Kisogawa said this with a straight face.

Kisogawa said this with a straight face.

“Isn’t it obvious? A part-time job at a family restaurant like this is a low-level job, right?

The manager was beyond angry at Kisogawa’s attitude.

“You know, ……, to you it is indeed a part-time job. But from the perspective of society as a whole, this is a job in itself. What’s more, you’re doing this job with a completely disrespectful attitude,……, and I can’t tolerate that kind of lack of awareness.”

So, you’re fired. ……, the manager says.

“Tsk. ……!　Ah yes yes, fine. Good night”

Kisogawa was not in a panic because he had been fired from his part-time job.

In fact, he was angry.

“He has been working at a family restaurant for a while now.　I’m a man who used to be an employee of the famous Takanawa!　Why do I have to be mocked by a bottom-feeder scum like him!”

Kisogawa swears as he leaves the family restaurant.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. There are plenty of part-time jobs in the city.　I’ll just look for a good part-time job.”

But …….

“Nope.”

“Go home.”

“Out of the question.”

…..And he failed three job interviews in a row…….

“WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!”

Kisogawa sat on a park bench and scratched his head.

The job hunt didn’t go well, and even the part-time job interview didn’t go well.

This was because the information that he had been fired from the family restaurant had spread quickly.

This is because of the power of Kaida.

It would have been easy for Kogen Kaida, the general manager of the group, to bury Kisogawa in the dark if he wanted to.

But he did not do so.

He gave his granddaughter, the love of her life, a terrible experience……

If he gets rid of him so easily, he will not suffer.

Waitting and waiting, hunt him down and give him a taste of …… suffering.

That was the order that Kogen had given.

“Kusunoki. What are you doing here……?”

“M-Mother …….”

On her way home from shopping, Kisogawa’s mother happened to pass by.

“How did interview go?”

“….Shut up”

“Part-time job?”

“SHUUT UUP!”

Seeing her son’s condition, his mother guessed everything.

“You got fired. …… For crying out loud, that’s why I’ve been telling you all along.”

Mother Kisogawa scolded him.

“I’ve told you many times that you’ll end up in jail just like your father if you keep sitting on your father’s beautiful face. I’ve been telling you that a lot, haven’t I?”

Kisogawa’s father is now in jail.

His mother thought she had raised her son in such a way that he would not go down the same path. ……

“SSSHHUUUUTTTT UUUPPPP, IDIOOOOOOOOT!”

Kisogawa lost his temper and raised his voice.

“You can’t order me around!”

“How dare you talk to my parents!”

“Shut up, shut up, shut up!”

The stress of the day hit Kisogawa with a vengeance.

His outlet was his parents.

“Every last one of you!　Don’t tell me what to do!　Don’t disrespect me!　Me!　My…….DAMN!”

A son like that……

His mother looks at him with pitying eyes.

“Don’t look at me like that, old lady!”

“Kusunoki. If you don’t fix your …… attitude, you’ll never get a job again.”

Even his mother said the same thing to him.

But …….

“Shut up, shut up!　I don’t, I don’t acknowledge it!　It’s not my fault!　It’s the society that denies me that is wrong!　The society that doesn’t see my true ability is wrong……!

“Kusunok ……!”

Pan……!

He belatedly realized that his mother had slapped him on the cheek.

“You’ve got to wake up!　You’re …… making a mistake!”

His mother desperately tries to correct her son’s mistake.

A mother’s love, however, …….

“S-shut up!”

Whack!

Kisogawa punches his mother in the face.

“Don’t you dare denigrate me as my parent!”

After receiving such a terrible attitude, the mother shakes her …… body and then says.

“…… Enough. I’m going to cut you out of my life.”

“Wha!?　What? H-How could you say that!”

Mother Kisogawa says to Kisogawa with a cold gaze.

“No more ……. I tried my best to love you …… for your resemblance to your father. But …… I can’t anymore. You’re becoming more and more like your father, both in face and inside. Honestly, I can’t …… stand it.”

Kisogawa’s mother snapped back and left her son.

“It time to cut ties. Goodbye.”

“Hold on, wait!　Mom!”

Kisogawa clutched at his mother’s leg with tears streaming down his face.

Yes, he had no money and no job.

If the father and son were to be cut off here, …….

He had no place to live.

“Y-You’re abandoning me!?　Y-Your cute son!?”

“…… was, you know. Now your just a scumbag.”

The mother shuffles her feet and turns to leave.

“Hold on!　Mom!　Mom! Mom! …… HEBU!

Kisogawa’s legs tangle and he falls to the ground.

A cab stopped in front of her and quickly departed.

‘Hold on, please! Mother　MOOOTTHHHHEEERRRRRRR!”

Kisogawa was abandoned by …… society and by his mother.

His lamenting voice echoed in vain.
