Chapter 241: It doesn’t seem like him

"If two hours, still time... "

While looking at the clock hung on wall, Makia asked.

"No way ending with one time?"

"No way ending, just... let rest a little."

Saying so, Diego raised upper body and pulled the wilted thing out from inside Makia.

"Not young, so not immediately."

At own thing and Makia’s crotch not dirtied with semen, Diego not surprised. Experiencing semen disappearing in sex with Makia already many times, Diego.

Diego thinking strange, but not surprised anymore.

"Fine though... while waiting, let drink that."

While pointing at the glass door cabinet made of high-class feel wood in the same direction as the wall clock, Makia asked Diego. Inside the cabinet, liquor bottles lined.

Sitting on the chair, Diego answered.

"Do as like."

Though training, mid-fifties Diego wanting to take break after sex. Like Makia boasting inexhaustible stamina and energy, not able to several times in succession.

During sex in chairman’s room, while Diego taking break, Makia many cases drinking alcohol and waiting. Diego not much drinking alcohol, but cases of drinking on the reception set of chairman’s room while talking with work opponents.

That was why in the cabinet of chairman’s room, alcohol and glasses and such always stocked.

"Then, without reserve."

Makia cheerfully got up and without even wearing shoes began walking toward the cabinet. Opening the door, Makia looked for the lined liquor bottles.

"Limonagrio... oh! Gotas de Sol there!"

On the stylish design liqueur bottle filled with orange liquid, Makia fixed eyes.

"When saw before, feel not there."

"Today, just arrived gift."

"Fine to drink?"

"Fine."

"Then, this."

Makia happily took the Gotas de Sol bottle in hand.

"If this, fine straight."

Taking two glasses dexterously from another shelf of the cabinet, Makia closed the door with body and returned toward Diego’s desk. Lining two glasses on the desk, twisting the stopper of Gotas de Sol bottle, Makia opened.

Refreshing citrus-like aroma rising, orange liquid reminiscent of sun, Makia poured into two glasses. Closing the stopper and placing on the desk, Makia handed one of the glasses to Diego.

Holding the other glass with right hand, Makia leaned on the desk and held out the glass toward Diego.

"Still work remaining though..."

"Not strong alcohol to the degree of hindering work. This like juice."

"Should not that weak alcohol though..."

While saying so, since Diego received the glass, Makia cheerfully took the toast lead.

"Cheers!"

Makia and Diego while resounding light sound matched glasses. The two carried glasses to mouth and while enjoying refreshing aroma, drank the liqueur tasting of citrus fruits with throat sounding.

"...Good, Gotas de Sol expensive, so not much drinking."

Licking tongue and licking the alcohol attached to mouth, Makia continued.

"Among this side’s alcohol, sweet and preferred."

"Alcohol and food, what you like... only sweet things."

Diego knowing Makia liking sweet things. Since seeing Makia’s eating and drinking state when visiting chairman’s room before, Diego.

The alcohol Makia choosing from inside the cabinet always sweet liqueur or highball. Since eating up the gift sweets placed in the room without reserve, easy to understand Makia liking sweet things.

"Me liking anything sweet, drinks and food, human relations and life too..."

Putting words like habit into mouth, Makia tilted the glass and put the liquid of setting sun-like color into mouth.

"Because living not sweet life, hearing like lines put into mouth?"

Hearing Diego’s words while shaking the glass, Makia floated a meaningful smile.

"...How?"

Muttering in casual tone, Makia gulped the glass and drank dry at once. Pouring orange liquid again into the emptied glass, Makia began drinking the second cup.

While enjoying rambling chat with Diego....

In the dusk scenery, resounding roar and raising dust, the terrestrial ship ran away. Just departed from Virgo port, giant green turtle-like appearance, Dolphin-class Coolma type cargo passenger ship.

The cargo passenger ship’s destination the nearest autonomous city Corvus south of Virgo. Distance close too, Virgo and Corvus exchange lively, and regular flights coming out like every day.

On the city walls on Virgo’s south side, quite number of people. Ones sightseeing the terrestrial ship also, ones seeing off people departing from Virgo riding the terrestrial ship also.

On the city walls, taking a little distance from other people, him looking at the Coolma type one of the seeing off side. On the Coolma type at the end of his gaze, Yasutoki riding.

After moving from Gateway Park to Heze Training Camp, with Yasutoki who hurriedly packed luggage, he headed to Virgo port. As he remembered, afternoon six o’clock Corvus bound cargo passenger ship existed, and tickets remaining.

Immediately Yasutoki purchased the boarding ticket of third class cabin to Corvus with money borrowed from him. Putting thanks words again to him, writing and handing IOU, boarded the Coolma type cargo passenger ship.

He who exited Virgo port moved to the south side city walls. Decided to see off the new departure of the friend reunited after long time.

A little delayed from scheduled time afternoon six o’clock, the Coolma type cargo passenger ship departed Virgo port. While seen off by people like him and them on the city walls.

While looking at the scenery of the ship the friend just reunited and immediately parting riding going far, he immersed in a little sentimental mood.

"Due to dusk scenery? Not like."

At self becoming sentimental mood, he put in tsukkomi with monologue. Self feeling loneliness a little embarrassing and pathetic.

To change mood, he consciously tried to think other things.

"Today’s dinner... how? Suddenly used seventy thousand Deil, have to save..."

"If no money, treat dinner or so?"

Suddenly, he called and surprised and braced.

(Near no one should though?)

On the city walls, quite number of people, but he was in place a little separated from other people. That was why at person nearby and moreover calling self, he surprised and cautioned.

Looking at the right side voice heard, there one woman looking toward him. To that woman, he had recollection.

Wearing coffee brown ten-gallon hat and jeans with leather chaps. The short sleeve shirt and vest wearing decorated with fringe, woman wearing leather boots.

Tightening gunman-like gun belt, lowering holster containing pistol to waist. In short, western fashion cowgirl-like clothing like appearing in western dramas.

Height easily exceeding one hundred seventy-five centimeters, style good, but chest a little reserved than ordinary. Skin color cream yellow, short hair color chestnut, pupil color hazel, eyes sharp, features arranged.

Looking young around twenty, but woman with intimidation, fitting armband with Iron Maiden emblem embroidered on left upper arm.

"...Kid?"

From too much surprise, while raising voice, he put the woman’s name in mouth. On his right side... around three meters away was Kid met when visiting Black Maiden.

When met before, shirt long sleeve, but now short sleeve except that, the figure of Kid in his memory itself.

"Why Kid?"

In succession, he put doubt in mouth.

"No, rather than that, safe?"

"Ah, when Hell Gate used, me separated from Black Maiden for work, so only me safe."

The first person "me" seeming suiting mannish Kid to him.

"Is that so... that good."

After saying so, he hurriedly added.

"Ah, everyone became terrible, so good the way of saying maybe bad. Meaning even only Kid safe good."

"That degree understand, so don’t be too considerate."

At Kid’s words, he nodded.

"Then, why here?"

"Actually at Dungeon Gate Park, saw you, so something wanted to talk, followed after."

Feeling a little guilty about tailing, Kid awkwardly a little swam eyes.

"Then, finally your errand with friend seeming ended, so called."

While hearing Kid’s talk, looking at the pistol contained in holster, he recalled. At Dungeon Gate Park, when Decelerator magic’s grant seal destroyed, sound similar to gunshot resounding.

"Maybe, at that time... the one who released Decelerator magic Kid?"

"...Around there."

Kid admitted helping self.

"Maybe unnecessary care, but let put out a little help boat."

"Unnecessary care or something, rather saved!"

He happily bowed to Kid.

"Thank you for helping!"

"Exaggerated, not thing to be thanked."

After returning words embarrassedly, Kid continued.

"Rather, following... various eavesdropping your and friend’s talk, so have to apologize degree."

After saying so, Kid hurriedly added.

"No intention to eavesdrop, if tailing... just variously heard."

"Haa... well, not thinking did talk troubled if heard, so fine."

A little hung up, but since opponent helped, he decided not to mind.
