I act as a guard to make sure no one damages the items. Nothing more.

I wouldn't expect security detail to be a line of work that you'd cleave to.

It's not an interest of mine - not particularly.

But as I said, it's a favor to my teacher and nothing more. We do classes right after in the same building. My employment is convenient for all parties.

Akira is also employed there. Go harass him about the finer details if you're so intrigued.

Oh?

You two are coworkers now?

How's that going?

[ This feels like the start of a dig. He feels some kinda way. ]

It's fine. We operate well together and have worked as equals in the past. It's nothing new.

It's not competitive at all?

[ ...

...

Well. ]

No.

[ Yes. ]

Perhaps I'll visit and see for myself.

There's no need to do that. In fact, it's pointless.

Unless-

You're trying to cover up an interest in school uniforms and using us as an excuse. My, I didn't expect that from you.

Seriously? Of all the things to accuse me of? You're better than that.

Forgive me for assuming a shujin employee may have some bizarre fixations.

Don't be disgusting.

My apologies.

[ He's sooooooo sorry. ]

If you want to visit, I won't stop you. Be prepared to receive some odd looks is all.

But you are an odd man. I'm certain you're used to the judgement of others anyway.

Not all others. Only a select few. Mostly you.

I'm a rational individual that rarely shows my displeasure with other people. Only on the rare occasion when it's warranted and necessary.

So it's not 'mostly me.' Don't say such stupid shit.
