"...I'm a G cup."

A G cup? What size was that?

I started counting on my fingers.

She watched me doing mental math and giggled again.

I looked out the window as the train wobbled its way down the track.

The yakiniku meat sloshed around inside me.

When it was Goto's turn to ask questions, it was all about Mishima.

"If you're not dating her, you must at least be interested, right?" she'd asked. "You'll fall for her eventually, won't you?" Her barrage went on and on.

I stood my ground and asked why she was so insistent. It turned out she'd gotten the impression that Mishima and I had suddenly gotten a lot closer, and hastily invited me to dinner to find out the truth.

Hearing how she came to this conclusion made me realize that even Goto had an unexpectedly adorable side to her.

I kept telling her that Mishima was just my subordinate. I told her over and over again.

Maybe it was because of all the alcohol in her system, but Goto pulled no punches in hounding me about Mishima, unable to believe that I wouldn't prefer a younger woman. Mishima has a great body, so I'd be into that, she'd insist. It was, frankly, quite annoying.

The only desire I had concerning Mishima was for her to take her work seriously.

I'd never thought for a second that someone would get the wrong idea.

And yet, here I was.

I let out a great sigh. It was all so incomprehensible.

Goto had rejected me. I'd given her my heart, and she'd turned it down.

Despite this, for some reason, she was still concerned that something would happen between Mishima and me.

No, she was right. It would be offensive for me to get over someone I'd just confessed my feelings to, and run straight to a younger woman. But from the way Goto was acting today, I felt that there was a sense of desperation from her, which made me doubt that it was just that.

Something Hashimoto had told me came to mind.

"If you ask me, I'd say ya might still have a chance."

"Getting shot down is where the fight starts."

Perhaps he was right all along.

The way Goto had been acting did seem to suggest she was interested in me.

That said, this was Goto we were talking about. I couldn't imagine her to be the type.

The excitement I worked up suddenly came crashing down.

I carried on convincing myself I had a chance and then out of it again for the rest of the train journey, and then exhaustion set in.

By the time I made it home, I wasn't in the mood to think about Goto anymore. I'd been going around in circles thinking about her for too long.

"I'm home."

"Oh!"

I unlocked the door and let myself in, and Sayu bolted upright from her spot in the living room before walking over to greet me.

"Welcome home... Why the long face?"

"Huh?"

"Wasn't it fun?"

Sayu peered into my eyes.

"It was, but..."

"Really? That's not what your face is telling me. Did she say something to upset you?"

"Not really."

I took off my suit jacket, walked past Sayu, and dragged myself into the living room.
