Chapter 6: Izuru, Diligent as Always?

Wabisuke, can you take these files to the cabinet over there?

Sure.

Amazing. All the files are getting taken care of just like that. You really are a diligent one.

This isn't anything worthy of praise.

There's no need to be so humble. Hey, you might also want to relax a little. I'm sure it won't hurt.

No, I shouldn't. Lieutenant Ise advised me to make sure I took care of things appropriately.

That's my Nanao.

I'll go make the deliveries, so if you can please sign these documents here.

Haha, all right.

Captain Kyoraku, about the remainder of the work for today...

You really are diligent. You know, it's okay if you take a break once in a while.

What's this? I find my master actually doing some work for a change, but it seems it's only because you have a watchdog by your side.

............

Look, they're here to visit you. Now, come and take a break with me.

But I...

What is it with you and Wabisuke? You always seem so unhappy. I suppose he gets it from his master.

D-Did you have business with me?

Oh, come now. Am I not even allowed to talk to you if I have no business?

That's not what I meant, but...

A lazy man can be rather disgraceful, but a man who's too serious can be rather boring as well.

I think you're a bit too stiff. Here's an idea. Why don't we play a little game together, hmm?

Now's probably not the best time for me to be playing any... Um, wait... Please, stop!

And then? How did Izuru react?!

Well, he turned bright red and just ran away.

Anyone would be flustered if a pretty lady like Katen Kyokotsu approached them like that. Poor Izuru.

I wish I could have seen it! That would've been so funny!

So that's why Lieutenant Kira seemed so tired. I thought it was because Captain Kyoraku troubled him the whole time.

Haha. It sounds like everyone had an interesting day again, but it was a great experience.

You're probably right about that.
