――Shit.
The person I nonchalantly called out to, was a person in the “Ya” business.
Why did I call out without thinking?
The people hanging out in the room next door wasn’t a chummy group at all. No, in a sense, to the point where they exchanged sake cups as sworn brothers 1 and offered their lives for each other, they might be unbelievably good pals……
While I stiffened after being taken unawares, the man put on a doubting face（I couldn’t see well because of the sunglasses, but probably）and approached a step, glowering at me from a lower vantage. 2
「What is it, Nee-chan. 3 You got a problem or something?」
「Nonononono! I wouldn’t dare!」
Recalling myself, I shook my head horizontally at ultra-high speeds.
「Then what? You want us to pamper you?」4
「Nonononono! I wouldn’t dare!」
Once again I shook my head at high speed. My neck feels like it’s gonna tear off soon.
「Then, what is it」
No, it’s nothing. I just made a mistake in calling out…… If I say that then will he forgive me? ……I feel like he won’t forgive me……
I promptly wanted to run away, but if I didn’t handle things well here, then it was likely a straight path to hell.
――Well, they shouldn’t take my life.
Resigning myself in an instant, I regained my bearings and stood firmly.
Although it’s rotten this is a country where law prevails, so if I scream in a loud voice someone should call the police. Surely, probably…… I wish they will.
「Um, you see. I live in the next room…… Right after I made a large amount of tonjiru, I was suddenly called to go on a business trip. If it’s alright with you, will you take it? Tonjiru. Also, I have freshly made rice.」
After I spoke, the man froze in his tracks.
But, immediately after he let out a l～ow voice.
「…………Aan? Nee-chan, just now, what did you say?」
――I got threatened.
As I thought, it was reckless. Retreat at once!
「Nononono, it was nothing! Sorry for disturbing you!!!」
「……I told you to repeat what you said.」
I got threatened in an even deeper voice……
「Nahー……That is, you see. I made too much tonjiru, so if it’s okay with you…… Or so I was thinking. Hahaha, in these days, something someone else has made, it’s too scary so you can’t eat it, right? Furthermore, something made by a dull woman like me. Aha ha, ha……」
Moreover, it seems like everyone has bought resentment from various places, so there’s also a chance it’s poisoned too. I couldn’t voice that out though, so I left it aside.
「Then, I’m terribly sorry that I disturbed you.」
「……In other words, what? Nee-chan, you’re saying you’ll give us tonjiru and rice to eat? Handmade tonjiru filled with lots of love, and steaming hot fresh made rice」
Love……Well, it’s not like there wasn’t any love inserted towards myself who just finished overtime.
And the rice was undoubtedly made fresh, but this yakuza used some odd phrasing.
「No, it’s fine to forget about that.」
「Aan? What the hell, you saying you don’t have any tonjiru to give us?」
「Nononono! I wouldn’t dare!」
An opportunity to shake my head at high speed, once more.
「Then, you’ll handing it over? Handmade tonjiru filled with lots of love, and steaming hot freshly made rice」
He enquired in a de～ep voice.
「Happily!」
Like an izakaya employee, I replied energetically.
The yakuza who fixedly stared here clenched a fist. 5
Then, he flung open the neighboring door and hollered.
「Guys! I got us handmade tonjiru filled with lots of love, and steaming hot freshly made rice!」
「「「Whatー!!!!」」」
Along with the clamors of thud-thud-thudding footsteps, an ill-bred looking bunch instantaneously appeared.
「This Nee-chan is gonna give us handmade tonjiru filled with lots of love, and steaming hot freshly made rice!」
With faces that said they didn’t believe it, looking over here was a yakuza, yakuza, and a yakuza.
I can’t believe I was living so nonchalantly right next to so many yakuza, I’m astonished at my own absentmindedness.
They changed their shocked expressions into a strangely sparkling one, then simultaneously lowered their heads.
「「「Thank youー!」」」
To the courteous yakuza-sans, my nerve was plucked. 6
