12 No Love Zone - 09

Juza, who just arrived home after completing his duties as a gangster leader, frowned, surprised to see Azami walking out of the house even though the clock on his wrist showed three o'clock in the morning.

Juza who saw Yuta just got out of the car immediately called the man.

"Yuta-kun."

Yuta, whose name was called by Juza, immediately walked over to his boss.

"Yes, Juza-san. What is wrong?"

Juza raised his index finger towards the gate of his house, where Azami was talking with Julian and Reki.

"You follow where Azami-kun is going and immediately give me the information."

Yuta nodded his head in understanding, then walked after Azami who happened to have left the house.

Juza, who saw that Yuta had gone after Azami, walked into his house. He still has to take care of several things related to today's meeting with a company that wants to work with him.

When his feet landed on the second floor, Juza turned his head towards Yuri's room where the door to the girl's room was slightly ajar and there was a light on the room lamp.

She received information from her colleagues that during Yuri's stay at her house, the girl had never locked the door to her room while she was sleeping because she was a little afraid if she was in her room alone.

Himself can only shake his head at that fact. He could not stop thinking why that girl was more concerned with the fear of falling asleep in the room alone than her security in this house which was mostly occupied by men.

Although Juza dares to guarantee that his colleagues will not dare to do anything strange, because if he finds out that one of his colleagues is doing strange things in this house then that person will get a punishment accordingly.

Juza, who has finished cleaning himself, walks to the sofa in his room to do his job as a gangster leader.

Knock .. Knock ..

Ceklek ...

Juza, who heard the door of his room being knocked, turned his head towards the door and found Yuri's figure standing at the door of his room with a bolster in his hand.

"Uncle." Yuri called hoarsely after waking up.

Juza put his laptop on the table and walked over to Yuri who was walking towards him.

"What's wrong Yuri-chan?" Asked Juza when he was in front of Yuri.

"I can't fall asleep anymore. Niichan isn't in his room either. " Yuri replied in a relaxed tone and leaned her head on Juza's shoulder.

Juza who saw that immediately took Yuri's body into his arms and walked to his bed.

"Azami-kun looks like he's going out." Said Juza after laying Yuri on his bed.

"Yes, Niichan always works out early in the morning." Yuri looked back at Juza who was walking towards the bed while carrying a laptop with her wistful eyes.

"I see. Even though this is foreign territory. " Juza muttered and positioned his back against the head of the bed.

"Uncle." Called Yuri again and Juza responded.

"My current room is too big and again there is too much free space. I feel scared sleeping alone. "

Yuri let out a deep breath. "I really wanted to sleep with niichan, but niichan always told me to try sleeping alone."

Juza nodded him head, agreeing to what Azami ordered. "Azami-kun is right. Right now you are old enough to sleep still in the company of your family members. "

Yuri pursed her lips in annoyance. "But I'm afraid uncle. Usually mom always accompanies me until I fall asleep. But because my mom is not there, no one accompanies me to sleep. "

"Niichan only accompanied me for a while, not until I really fell asleep."

Juza chose to remain silent listening to what Yuri said.

"Actually I don't want to bother Niichan, because Niichan currently has to work even harder to take care of me."

Juza glanced at Yuri who was still not asleep.

"Why don't you talk directly to Azami-kun if you want company until you fall asleep?" Asked Juza, who was immediately responded by shaking his head by Yuri.

"Niichan will definitely refuse it and give advice when I grow up and I have to be able to solve my problems alone."

Juza frowned. According to him, Azami was not the type of brother who would refuse his younger sister's request. "Your brother won't answer like that."

Yuri raised her head to look at Juza, whose eyes were focused on the laptop.

"Niichan will definitely say something like that. I once asked him to accompany me when our parents were out of town. But Niichan said that before going out of my room." Yuri said in an annoyed tone when she remembered the incident when Azami said something like that to her.

"Maybe at that time Azami-kun was tired." Juza replied simply.

Yuri, who heard Juza's words, was silent for a moment and tried to recall in more detail the situation when she asked Azami to accompany her.

"Hmm, yes maybe you are right uncle. At that time, if I remember correctly, Niichan just came home after working on a design project with his friends. "

Juza nodded his head slowly. "Later in the afternoon, try asking Azami-kun again. He will definitely agree to accompany you until you fall asleep. "

"Yes hopefully." Yuri muttered as she closed her eyes.

"Um, uncle." Call Yuri again, only to be answered by Juza.

"Can I ask Uncle to rub the top of my head until I fall asleep?" Yuri asked with her eyes still closed.

Juza turned her head towards Yuri who had closed her eyes and then snorted with amusement.

"Good. Uncle will rub the top of your head. " Juza replied with a small smile etched on his face.

One of Juza's hands was now on the top of Yuri's head and stroked her slowly.

Seeing Yuri who is trying to fall back asleep with the top of her head gently rubbed by her, reminds Juza back to when Goshi was Yuri's age and asks him to rub the top of his little brother's head.

"It seems that all young children this age always ask for their head to be rubbed before going to sleep."

Masaki, who had just finished checking the stock of raw materials in the kitchen, took a deep breath when he realized that the stock of chicken eggs available in the cafe was running low. Meanwhile, the schedule for sending chicken egg stock packages at their cafe will be done once a month at the end of the current period.

Hiro and Ichiro who saw Masaki sighed deeply frowned and threw astonished glances at each other.

"Masaki-kun, what's wrong?" Ask Ichiro first.

"This is bad Ichiro-san, Hiro-san. Our stock of chicken eggs is running low. Meanwhile, the new chicken egg stock package will be sent in fifteen days. " Masaki replied in response to Hiro and Ichiro's astonishment.

"Then, why don't we tell Goshi-kun? Later, he will contact the chicken egg production house. " Said Hiro giving advice to Masaki and Ichiro.

"Goshi-san once said, the chicken egg production house will only serve orders according to the schedule agreed at the start. Outside of schedule they will not serve consumer demand. " Masaki replied in a frustrated tone.

Hiro and Ichiro returned their gazes at each other.

"If that is the case, like it or not, we have to buy first at a minimarket or supermarket. That will definitely eat up the cafe's income, because the price difference is quite large. "

Ichiro and Masaki agreed to what Hiro said. Even though they know that neither Goshi nor Juza will ever object to it in order to make their customers satisfied.

But still, they have made a target to reduce cafe spending to have holiday tours with all cafe employees.

"Alright, I will ask Goshi-san this first. Maybe he has other opinions and solutions? "

Hiro and Ichiro shrugged their shoulders nonchalantly. "This happens because Tenma-kun is very skilled at making meals made from chicken eggs."

Ichiro chuckled softly. "You are right. I pray that customers who enjoy Tenma-kun's chicken egg dishes do not suffer from ulcers. "

Masaki, who heard Ichiro's mocking words, tried to hold back his laughter. Meanwhile, it was different from Hiro, who was chuckling with amusement.

"I hope they will not ask us for compensation. If that happens, our travel plans will go awry. "

"Huh, don't let that happen. Because it's times like this that we all need a tour together. " Hiro sighed as he shook his head dramatically.

"Hiro-san, Ichiro-san, do you guys need other processed ingredients? If there is, I will do a list together with the request for chicken eggs. But if there isn't, then I'll just tell Goshi-san about the chicken egg stock. "

Ichiro and Hiro compactly shook their heads together. "There is no."

"Later when there is, we will ask Goshi-kun directly."

Masaki nodded his head in understanding, then walked out of the kitchen to the second floor where Juza and Goshi's study was located.

Meanwhile, in a special barista place, Azami was seen cleaning the bar table with Kazunari and Naoki who were arranging glasses.

"Azami-kun, what do you think about being a waiter at this cafe owned by Juza-san?"

Azami, who got a question from Kazunari, stopped his activities and now turned his head to the cafe barista.

"This is my second day working here. I think it's quite draining, because yesterday was my first day at work, the cafe got a lot of customers. "

Kazunari nodded his head. "But what do you think, you will last long working here?"

"I hope I can survive working in this cafe until my debt to Juza-san is paid off." Azami answered which made Naoki stare at him in surprise.

"Indeed you are in debt with Juza-kun?"

Azami nodded his head. "Yes, of course I have to pay back Juza-san's money that was spent on treating Yuri, my surgery and hospitalization costs, then the costs for me and Yuri who temporarily stay at Juza-san's residence until I can pay off all my debts."

Naoki chuckled softly. "You know it's not Azami-kun, if Juza-san doesn't mind that at all. Though you don't intend to replace it. "

Azami nodded his head again. "But still, I feel it all must be replaced."

Kazunari flashed his obligatory smile. "You're a good person Azamai-san."

"No, I'm not a good person. I just repay what Juza-san has done to me. "

Naoki glanced at Kazunari with a look full of meaning. Kazunari, who understood the meaning of Naoki's glance, nodded his head.

"Azami-kun? Are you busy?"

Azami, who felt himself being called, immediately turned his head to the sound, where he saw Goshi walking towards him.

"Goshi-san. No, is there anything I can help you with? " Azami asked Goshi.

"Can I ask you to go to the convenience store to buy some boxes of chicken eggs?"

Azami quickly nodded his head. "Of course. How many boxes should I buy Goshi-san? "

"For supplies until the end of the month it looks like buying fifteen boxes is enough."

Goshi held out some bills to Azami.

"Is that all?" Azami asked to make sure.

"Yes, the chefs just order that." Goshi replied with a glance towards the kitchen.

"Good. Then I'll go now. "

Goshi nodded his head in response to Azami's words.

After that, Azami walked out of the cafe without taking off his work apron.

"What are you guys talking about with Azami?" Goshi asked Kazunari and Naoki.

"Just small talk on the sidelines of work." Naoki answered which Kazunari agreed to.

"Goshi-kun. Thank goodness you haven't gone out to buy eggs! "

Goshi, Naoki and Kazunari who saw Hiro hurried over to them.

"What's wrong Hiro-san?" Goshi asked when Hiro was standing in front of him.

"I also want to add Nori to your shopping list today. Because the stock we have is a little left. " Hiro answered who brought nori's storage.

"Hmm, but I've told Azami-kun to buy our stock of chicken eggs." Said Goshi to Hiro's sigh.

"Ah, how about we call Azami-kun to buy nori too?" Asked Naoki to suggest his suggestion.

"Do you have Azami-kun's cell phone number, Nao-san?" Kazunari asked back to Naoki.

"Eh, that. I do not have it. Maybe, Goshi-kun has? " Naoki asked again who this time his gaze turned to Goshi.

"I just remembered that Azami-kun didn't have a cellphone after the robbery." Goshi answered which made Naoki, Kazunari and Hiro sigh in disappointment.

Klining ..

Hearing the sound of the cafe door opening, made the four of them turn their heads together and found the figure of Juza who had just entered the cafe.

"Ah, welcome to Juza-kun." Greet Naoki for the first time and continued with Goshi, Kazunari and Hiro who bowed in salute.

Juza greeted Naoki and the others by nodding his head.

"What is wrong? Why are you gathered here? "

"We are discussing the remaining stock of raw materials at the cafe, Juza-san." Hiro replied, agreed by Goshi and Naoki.

"That's right, I told Azami-kun to buy some packages of chicken eggs for temporary stock until the delivery schedule arrives. But Hiro-san just came to tell us that our nori stock is also running low. " Connect Goshi and Hiro also showed the nori storage place he was carrying.

"Aren't you just contacting Azami to buy nori as well?" Asked Juza again which made Goshi, Naoki and Hiro throw grimaces at each other.

"Ehm, it will be easy to do if Azami-kun has a cell phone. But right now he doesn't have a cellphone, right? After the robbery. " Kazunari replied, making Juza pause for a moment.

"Okay, then I will catch up with him." Juza's words that succeeded in making Goshi, Kazunari and Naoki widen their surprised eyes.

"No need, Niisan! I guess I'll just go after Azami to buy supplies of nori. " Goshi said making Juza, Kazunari and Naoki stare at him.

"Then I'll go first." Goshi said quickly and after that left the cafe, making Juza, Kazunari and Naoki stare at his leaving in silence.
