Sunday, Evening 10.11 PM

"Oi! Boss.. i'm done over here!"

"hoo.. you're already done huh"

"........."

".... why are you still staying here then?"

"*Cough* Paycheck *Cough*"

"...... this old man just joking you know?, just how long you are working working in here?"

"including this, it's 31 shift, each shift are 6 hours, each hours are 400yen, so my paycheck should be 74.400 yen"

"how fast!?,*ehem* that's not why i mean though, seriously kids these can't take a joke, here's your wage i put it 75.000, you should be grateful to this old man giving you a bonus"

"Ou! Anything you say Boss!"

The Boss then handing over the paycheck to me, first thing i know from doing a job are always check the amount, some people are saying this is rude to the other party or some other thing, but to me at least this will reducing the risk of getting tricked.

(60,65,70,75, yosh, no trick this time)

"Yup, if you need helping hand, just call me then, if it's only part time i can still do it" i say this with confident while puffing my chest, the place that i'm currently work at is 24 convenience store. Anyhow it's been awhile since i finish early, at least i can have normal sleep time this day

but.. i wonder if this enough, though.. let's see.. daily necessities, Yuzu childcare service, Ume also started asking for a raise for her pocket money, water and electricities, next year Yuzu will start going to elementary school while Ume starting high school.. well considering her archery achievements as long she doesn't mess up she can get scholarship at my school, hm.. what else.. after thinking and counting for a while i just decided it's better to stop right now, since i can manage for the last 3 years i guess i should be able to manage this year to.

After i managed to get back in thought i already put cigarette in my mouth and start to burn it.. haah.. this isn't good, i need to stop smoking soon, there's no money left to continue this habits. It'll be bad either if teachers from school see me smoking like this

(now that i think about it, this is quite sometime since i started smoking, how many years was it again? i think i start a month or two after both of the-)

"huh?" are dumbfounded voice i make, looks like i lost in thought again, and just getting back to the real world by "Mini-map" in the corner side of this way there's a figure of three red dot, closing in to the golden dot and blue dot.. wait... there's something wrong here..

First, am i wrong about red dot being something being aggressive towards me?Now that i think about it, when i fought against Bando or Ume serious or not, both of them never got red. When i first met Bando he's red though, there's also possibility that my hypothesis are true and these red dots are coming after me, not the golden dot

Second, i've been at least walking around this area for quite sometime, i mean i work for about a month around here, but i never see any golden dot around here, so there's a chance this person just got here then, is there any benefit from me saving this one?

Third, what's blue dot supposed to represent? i can see it on mini-map but i never see it on my own eyes, so i just thought blue dot represent ghosts or something like that

Better just turn around and pretend nothing happens... , if my first hypothesis are correct than i'm being saved by my decision, if my second hypothesis are correct there's nothing to lose or mourn either... that's what i'm about to do.. but, damnit.. i'm too curious about the blue dot! let... lets just watch from a far whats blue dot supposed to mean

after i had made up my mind, i started walking slowly to the corner, for a moment i think about calling the police, but there's no evidence and proof yet, there's no way i'm telling the police about "Mini-map" and such thing.. hm? One of the reds is coming this way? Does this person see me? ...... how?

FUCKKKKKKK!!! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

The FUCKING SMOKE!! no.... there's no way this person can see a smoke with this little light. but there's also possibility that he realized it...

urgh... and i don't even get to see what blue dot are, the other two red dot are just 2 meters away, while the one coming to me are 1 meter away, haaaaah.... fuck this shit. i don't care anymore. if this person red, that means he's bad, that how's i always think and i never wrong about this.

With cigarette still in my mouth, i grab my house keys, and put it between my finger, making an improvised weapon,just as soon the red dot coming straight out of the corner, i already throw my punch
