The Template Temptation

Apart from the male contingent hitting it off over robot model construction, nothing else of great note happened during the mixer. It ended about two hours after everyone arrived, their stomachs full of Italian food and drink. Haruto and Kaizu split the bill for everyone between them.

“Well,” Haruto said in front of the restaurant, “thanks for coming today! I’ll see you all around the publishing office, huh?”

“…Thank you,” Aoba said. The two hours together hadn’t improved her mood as she trotted off.

Chihiro watched her go. “I’ll join Kasamatsu on the way to the station. It’s getting late anyway,” he added before bowing and setting off after her.

“Wow, Chihiro’s a good-lookin’ guy, huh?” Kaizu may have sounded like he was making fun of him, but he wasn’t. He sighed. “…Aoba Kasamatsu, though… I don’t mind if someone’s aggressive like that, you know. Hungry. But if that’s how she’s acting before she’s sold a single book, that worries me… I can only guess she and her editor aren’t getting along, either.”

“…If you’re that worried,” Ashley countered, an ironic tone to her voice, “then why don’t you look after her?”

Kaizu chuckled. “That’s not my job, now, is it? Plus, if their relationship deteriorates to the point that she doesn’t even make her debut, that’s just fine by me.”

There was nothing ironic or joking about Kaizu’s tone. He seemed to be honestly hoping for that.

He turned back toward Ashley. “By the way, you wanna get another drink with me somewhere else?”

“Mmm…?!” Haruto reared back, visibly surprised, and scrutinized Kaizu’s face.

“All right,” Ashley casually responded.

“Wha…?!” Haruto’s eyes darted between them a few times.

“Well, thanks for tonight, Fuwa.”

“Hee-hee-hee! Let’s meet up again soon, Haruto.”

The two of them walked off together, leaving a dumbfounded Haruto behind.

“Uh… What…?”

A few seconds was all it took to plunge him into turmoil. They’d barely even exchanged any words in the bar. What was it that made them so naturally pair off and walk the city streets at night?

“Didn’t they know each other before now?” Ui asked.

Haruto nodded. Then it clicked in his mind. “Ohhh, yeah, maybe…!”

But how did they know each other before? The most natural explanation was that he was a taxpayer client of hers, but that wouldn’t explain why he readily invited her out without any warning. They were both in their thirties, though. Were they actually an item before now…?

“Um, Fuwa?” Ui asked as Haruto’s mind raced over this.

“Y-yes?!”

“…What do you want to do now?”

“Well, um…”

Haruto failed to provide a coherent answer. Ui looked up at him.

“Because if you have some time, would you mind if we chat a bit?”

“A-all right.” Haruto nodded, swept away by the advancing wave.
