26 My rice cooker is at death’s door
「You forgot something」
Mary-san―― Rather, what Mr.Kazama Ren presented with a terrifying smile, was a beat up rice cooker.
Eh, was my rice cooker this close to death’s door before


When it was fallen down at the veranda, while it looked like it was on the verge of death, I had a feeling it still had some life in it though


「You really are troublesome」
「Ha, haha

」
On that widely smiling face, it looks to me like it was showing an awful amount of anger


While suppressing my fiercely shaking hands, I accepted my terribly disastrous-looking rice cooker.
This person, he brought here it from Tokyo, huh.
Rather, is the one who sent the Mary-san mail this guy?
Hahaha, if he was such a playful person, I wouldn’t be shaking this much.
As I escaped from reality in my thoughts, when I averted my eyes from the man, I realized there were suspicious looking men in black suits outside the entrance.
Indeed, they are「professionals」.
But most of them didn’t look this way. To an unnatural extent.
These people, I wonder if they ever ponder why they’re in a place like this.
Incidentally, if it were me, I’d definitely wonder.
One of the men abruptly directed his sight this way.
Ah, our eyes met.
It was a brown haired, friendly looking man around his 30’s.
If I had to say, his physique was a sturdy one. His suit seemed to be pretty expensive.
He faced me and waggled his cell phone as if to show me.
――So the one who sent the Mary-san mail was him.
I’d be amazed at his mischief

 If it weren’t for the current situation!
「Nanao, what are you looking at」
Pulling me who was thinking that back to reality, a low voice.
As if he breathed in a cold draft, a penetratingly cold voice.
I was frozen as the man touched my jaw with his finger.
Long and muscular, a man’s hand. The skin of his fingertip was slightly hard, feeling strangely vivid.
He moved it slowly, but with a face that wouldn’t allow rejection.
My eyes were compulsed to meet his.
「Me. The only one you can look at――is me.」
The man’s eyes were boundlessly deep. There where the bottom was unseeable, certainly, there was a thick fever.
It was viscous, and sweet――
ă€ŒăŁïŒ Boss, they’re here!」
At that moment, a voice with high tension broke the atmosphere.
I was immediately drawn back to reality.
――Th, that was close!!! I don’t really know, but it was really close! It felt like something irrevocable was going to happen!!
My heart pounded violently.
Seeing me who was transcendently relieved, the man clicked his tongue.
For some reason, the atmosphere outside of the entrance has become flurried.
The professionals reached their hands inside their suits.
――Hm? What’re they doing?
「Don’t let this one get a single scratch on her. Men, don’t die easily.」
「USU!!」
When the man said that, the men simultaneously took out something with a black luster.
Eh!?
「Gu-gu-gu-gu, guns!??」
The moment I shouted, my field of vision circled around.
「Eh? Eehh!!?」
「Let’s go」
「USU!」
Like so, my vision swayed.
Eh? I’m being carried? I’m being carried on his shoulder? Rather, my stomach hurts! The pressure!
This, isn’t this a sack carry????
At a quick pace, the man headed towards the destroyed entrance way.
Naturally as he did so, I was also subject to movement.
Eh, where are we going?
Are we going to pass through those guys wielding those dangerous things!?
I-it won’t accidentally discharge, right!?
