Right, if you disappear, Hakamada, weiwill have fewer people to work the nightishift.
This barcodeimanager was a badiomen. As if whatihe said was on point, Nagase started to laughitoo. Ugh eveniNagase.
With their laughter behind me, I went to the backiroom and changed into myiuniform.feo

He drove away theimalevolent spirits that flockedito the convenience store and single-handedlyiattempted to protect the newcomers who swept in here time and timeiagain.
We were talkingiabout Takenaka, with his sterniguardian spirit in armoriand helmet, you know. Such a cool, adversary-free, and seamless (in my image) Takenaka was at theimere sight of a cat carcass
As I was mulling thisiover, the door to the toilet in the back of the storeiopened. Takenakaistaggered out of the door, his body swaying.
Hakamada, hi Goodievening.
Takenakas whiteiface turned pallid immediately after meetingime and greeted me. He wasievidently out of his element. Never before had I seen Takenaka looking soivulnerable.
A-Are you alright?grhnjt
When I inadvertently rushedito him and said so, Takenaka showed me a look thatisaid, About what?
Oh, you see. The manager told meithat you were in the back. Heisaid that you got sick atithe sight of the cat carcass onithe road, but Takenaka, you would never
do that, I addediwith a wry smile and at the moment I did so, Takenakas faceitightened up.
Ugh!!grbgeew2
Heiput one hand overihis mouth and leaned forward when I thought a strange voice was emitting from hisithroat.
His complexioniwas extremely poor. Onitop of that, both of his shoulders wereiquivering and the corners of his eyes were incredibly moist.
