After the trip, Heisuke and Hisaki got so busy with work and class, especially the former. He wanted to make up for the three weeks he was away.
On Friday, the day Mr. and Mrs. Chisaka came to visit, Heisuke got called by the warehouse supervisor, Mr. Kajiwara. The middle-aged man told him to come to the office before work hours ended.
Because both Hisaki and Heisuke were busy with work, Mr. Hokama and Mrs. Saeki went to pick up the Chisaka spouses from the train station. As usual, they chose to reside at Kubota Inn.
Tonight, all six of them would dine together.
Knock! Knock!
Heisuke knocked on the door twice and waited until Mr. Kajiwara allowed him to get inside. The supervisor's voice echoed shortly after, telling him to open the door.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Kajiwara," Heisuke politely greeted his long-time supervisor, "Do you have any new tasks for me?"
