Chapter 3: Floozy

"Argh!"

I received a rare series of messages from Sayu during my work shift, and upon checking to see what it was about, the details left me frowning.

"Um, my senior at work is going to come to our place."

"I'm really sorry I couldn't refuse."

"She'll probably still be there when you get back, Mr. Yoshida."

"Oh, my senior's a girl."

I let out a sigh.

No, I didn't mind her having someone over. I was glad that she made a friend she got along with. However, how was I going to explain the relationship between Sayu and me to her?

As I fret over this turn of events, an additional message comes in.

"I explained to her that we're not blood-related, but you're like a big brother who's looked after me since I was little."

"A big brother who looks after you, huh."

I muttered silently to myself, smiling bitterly.

She may have always been calling me 'pops' this or 'pops' that, but on this occasion, she had come up with a convincing lie. Of course, if she ever were to introduce me as her actual 'brother,' I'd have to give a fake name and all that stuff, which would be challenging. It was fortunate that she'd portrayed me as somebody from the neighborhood she's been close to since childhood instead.

In any event, she said she couldn't refuse her senior's visit, so there must be some reason why. And it's not as if there's something she'll see at home that will cause trouble.

"Got it."

I sent her a brief reply, then placed my phone on the desk. I looked up at the computer I should have been focusing on and realized that Mishima Yuzuha, my subordinate, was standing right next to me. Noticing someone in my field of view all of a sudden made me jolt my shoulders in surprise.

"Whoa, you scared me! Say something first next time!"

"You've got tunnel vision, don't you, Yoshida-sempai?"

Mishima gave a wry grin with this response, and Hashimoto, seated next to me, snorted audibly.

"Got a message? Who from?"

"That's not really any of your business. Anyway, do you need something?"

She looked dissatisfied with my answer for a moment, but soon let out a small sigh and pointed to my work PC.

"I've uploaded the data you asked for to the server. Please take a look at it."

"Oh, you're pretty early today. Okay, I'll get that done."

"Much appreciated!"

I nodded and looked at Mishima. I tilted my head to encourage her to continue, and was met with a blank look. Mishima tilted her head in confusion, too.

"Yes?"

"Uh, is that all?"

"Yes, that's all."

I let out a deep groan.

"Just email me about things like this. Don't waste time coming over here every time."

"Uh, really? But it seems kinda dumb to message you when you're only a ten-second walk away from me, doesn't it?"

"A message is more concrete, so we can sort out any issues that come up."

Mishima's brow furrowed at my words.

"What do you mean? You make it sound like you're expecting there to be issues."

"This is you we're talking about.
