>>5652527<span class="mu-g">“What have you been up to, Yui-chan…”</span> you ask, holding the phone a little closer to your ear.
<span class="mu-g">“Not me, you idiot!”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, <span class="mu-g">“You!”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Me!?”</span> you shout into the phone, <span class="mu-g">“What rumours!?”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“You know Watase-san has a certain reputation, don’t you?”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, <span class="mu-g">“If you’re spotted going into a taxi with her then people are going to talk! Then there’s also the rumours of the two of you being drinking buddies during the hot spring trip?”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“I’m losing my Miho-chan, am I?”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, full of panic, <span class="mu-g">“Are you being conquered?!”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“I’m not!”</span> you shout into the phone, <span class="mu-g">“She asked me if we could have lunch, that’s all!”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Well, yeah, I figured as much,”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, completely calm again, <span class="mu-g">“But you should still be careful. Word goes that Watase didn’t job hop for better prospects, but rather because things were getting too hot under her feet. She has a thing for office ladies that behave like small animals, you see…”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Oh…”</span> you say, <span class="mu-g">“….Wait. Me!? I’m not a small animal!”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Has she tried anything?”</span> asks the voice of Kitabayashi.
There was the thing in massage parlour.
The advances during drinking.
Waking up with her naked next to you, with her fondling you.
<span class="mu-g">“N-no,”</span> you say.
<span class="mu-g">“Miho!?”</span> shouts the phone in the voice of Kitabayashi.
<span class="mu-g">“Can we talk about Kaiba-san, please?”</span> you plead, <span class="mu-g">“She’s been staying in a hotel near Kabukicho, I don’t want her to stay there anymore…”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Kabukicho? Uwaa… yeah, that’s pretty bad,”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, then sighs.
<span class="mu-g">“Kaiba-san can stay with me, I’ll clear the other bedroom in my apartment, it’s sorta just been dusted over exercise equipment in there anyway…”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, <span class="mu-g">“But you owe me big!”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Thank you, Yui-chan. Thank you!”</span> you say, bowing with the phone in hand purely by habit.
<span class="mu-g">“I’m gonna drive to Kaiba’s hotel now and pick up her things, can we meet at your apartment after work?”</span> you say.
<span class="mu-g">“Sure,”</span> says the voice of Kitabayashi, <span class="mu-g">“Make it around 6 PM. I should probably stock with the fridge with something other than beer…”</span>
You finish up the call and join Kaiba back in the car.
