No Love Zone - 27A

"Niisan! Didn't I tell you to take Azami-kun straight home?"

Azami, who had just entered the cafe, frowned in surprise when he heard Goshi's words which were aimed at Juza who was standing beside him.

"Azami-kun, you're not feeling well. Why did you force yourself to come to the cafe?"

Azami furrowed his brows in surprise hearing Goshi's question directed at him at this time.

"Ah, yes. I'm feeling better now. That's why I told Juza-san to take me to the cafe instead." Azami replied to which Goshi took a deep breath.

"In fact, Niisan said, the reason you couldn't go home last night was because you suddenly had a fever. So you decided to sleep in the apartment."

Now Azami turned his head towards Juza who avoided his gaze. In his heart Azami snorted in amusement, knowing that Juza had given the reason that he had a fever.

"Yeah, but I'm fine now Goshi-san. You don't have to worry." Azami said trying to convince Goshi.

"Are you sure? I won't make you sick again if you force yourself to work." Ask Goshi to really check on Azami's condition.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure. You don't have to worry." Azami replied with a pretty convincing expression. For Goshi to trust him and allow him to work at the cafe today.

Goshi was silent for a moment, looking at Azami and Juza alternately.

"Okay, you can work today. But if you feel unwell again. You can rest."

Azami nodded his head at Goshi's words.

"Thank you Goshi-san. Then I will immediately change my clothes."

After bowing to Goshi, Azami walked towards the staff changing room, leaving Goshi and Juza standing not far from the cafe entrance.

Now Goshi turned his head towards Juza. "Niisan, do you want to stay here or go back home?"

Juza fell silent astray. "Hmm, I'll be going home first. Maybe I'll be back in the late afternoon."

Goshi nodded his head. "Okay. Then be careful Niisan."

Juza also nodded his head, then glanced his eyes to look at the staff changing room where Azami had entered, before he walked out of the cafe towards the house.

"Azami." Called Toshiro turning his head towards Azami who was walking while eating ice cream beside him.

"Yes, Shiroo-san?" Azami asked turning his head to Toshiro.

"Have you really found a university that matches your interests?"

Azami was silent for a moment, enjoying the ice cream he was eating. "Hmm, yes. Yesterday Juza-san and I visited the university. I'm going to take some tests to get a scholarship."

"What? You want to get a scholarship??" Toshiro asked with his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes, I want to minimize my expenses. Later when I start as a student, of course I won't be working full time at the cafe anymore. I will work part time at the cafe and of course it will affect my income."

Toshiro nodded his head slowly. He began to understand why Azami chose to take the scholarship path.

"You're right, you haven't had to pay Yuri's school fees and your debt to Juza yet."

Azami cleared his throat confirming Toshiro's words.

Puk..

"You're a tough big brother Azami. You want to survive on your own."

Azami fell silent hearing Toshiro's words. "Shiro-san, honestly I want to use the fees my late parents left behind. But because of the robbery I have to take care of some data at the bank. And I also have to go back home to get other documents."

Toshiro frowned in surprise. "Then why don't you take care of the data in the bank and go back to the house first, Azami? Juza and Goshi will definitely forget. Oh yeah, I forgot. If one of your uncles or aunts notices that you're still in Tokyo, they harm you."

Toshiro took a deep breath. He did not think that the conflict that occurred in a rich family's family was so terrible. Now he is truly grateful to be born into a simple family without terrible conflicts.

"Maybe later when I really need the money, I'll go back home. Let them know I'm in Tokyo."

Toshiro rolled his eyes in surprise. "Are you crazy, Azami? What if later they really will harm you?"

Azami chuckled softly. "I just need to call you guys right? I'm sure you guys will definitely help me."

Toshiro was taken aback for a moment hearing Azami's words, before he laughed and put a hand on Azami's shoulder.

"Jesus! You, you almost gave this old man a heart attack!"

Azami who heard Toshiro chuckle, chuckled softly. Then now his eyes turned to the plastic bag containing some snacks and a few bottles of beer that they bought at the mini market earlier.

"Shiro-san, are you guys okay drinking tonight? Isn't tonight the time for your team that accompanied Juza-san to meet a client?" Azami asked which this time made Toshiro chuckle.

"Looks like you've started to memorize our work schedule, Azami. Don't worry. Tonight the team that will accompany Juza is Tenma, again."

Azami frowned. "Is something like that okay, Shiro-san?"

"Of course you can Azami. Last night when Goshi had a meeting with a client with the Tenma team, the client immediately appointed the Tenma team to do the work this time. So yeah, tonight our team will just have a party."

Azami stopped his footsteps which suddenly also made Toshiro stop his footsteps and now looked at Azami with a surprised look.

"So last night Juza-san was supposed to attend a meeting with his client?" Azami asked which immediately made Toshiro nod his head.

"Yes, but since you and Juza have no news at all, therefore Goshi and Tenma's team attended the meeting."

"Ehm, but it looks like Juza is also coming with them today." Toshiro continued thinking about what Juza might do.

"Ah, I see." Azami muttered to which Toshiro nodded his head.

"Yes, and tonight we can have as much fun as we can! Come on Azami! Let's spend the night having fun!"

Azami, whose hand was already pulled by Toshiro, could only walk after him resignedly to Juza's house.

"Hah, Hah, Hah, Azami! Stop!"

Azami who was running, slowly slowed down the tempo of his running while Masaki who was not far from him was now sitting in the middle of the road panting for breath.

"Are you okay, Masaki?" Azami asked as he jogged over to Masaki.

Masaki raised one hand and pointed at Azami. "You! What have you been eating all this time Azami?! How come you can run this far without stopping??"

"I eat just like you guys. Rice and other Japanese foods." Azami replied as he grabbed Masaki's hand and helped him up.

"You're lying. The proof is I'm not as strong as you! Look, you don't even look breathless!"

Azami raised an eyebrow, looking at Masaki who was now looking at him with a displeased look.

"Maybe it's because I've been used to doing this since my school days. If you get used to doing it regularly, you definitely won't get tired like this, Masaki."

Masaki waved one hand. "Yes, yes. A sniper like me doesn't need strength to run."

"Really? I thought gangster members like you should be physically strong." Asked Azami was surprised to hear Masaki's words.

"Yeah, all I need is a sharp gaze and concentration to get my aim right." replied Masaki who held out his hand like a gun towards Azami.

"When your aim is right, all you have to do is pull the trigger and

Dor!

Dor!

Azami and Masaki gasped in surprise at the sound of guns being fired twice.

"Did you hear where that voice came from, Masaki?" Azami asked casting a sharp gaze on Masaki.

Masaki closed his eyes for a moment, before turning around and tugging on Azami's wrist.

"Follow me! I hope I'm wrong."

Azami frowned in surprise, staring at Masaki's back.

"What are you expecting, Masaki?"

Azami could feel Masaki's grip on his wrist tighten.

"I think the gunshots came from our house."
