“…Senpai. I’m angry.”

Aira, who is sitting in the passenger seat, said so in a small voice.
“….Angry? Why?”
“… Why not? Where did you go when you said you’d go on a date with me? I haven’t forgotten.”
“…Ah…my bad…I completely forgot… But Akino san and Yua chan are here too…”
“Are you gonna break your promise !?”
“No…I’m not saying that….in fact, we can’t leave those two alone, can we?”
“I know, but…still !” She shakes her left hand on the steering wheel.
“Hey !? That’s dangerous !”
“Oh yeah ! Let’s have a date right now ! Right here ! If you don’t agree…then just the two of us…like this…!”
“I get it ! I’ll ask the boss to leave Akino san and Yua chan at the office ! You’re fine with that, right !”
“Yes, sir !” And Aira splashes happily in the passenger seat….
I wonder what’s so fun about having a date with someone like me….
I was thinking about such things as I headed out to collect the debt.
After about 30 minutes had passed, we arrived at a house that looked like it had no need to resort to black-market money.
“…..What the…this house… Who is this Kadokawa Sumika? Aira, aren’t you in charge of this?
“Well…I don’t really understand. He looks like an ordinary guy who can be found anywhere. But once he becomes rich, his sense of money becomes a mess, and he can’t stop living a wealthy life. That’s the kind of person he is, isn’t it? But he borrowed the money about a month ago, and he has never failed to pay it.”
“Even so, I think 200,000 is a drop in the bucket. I mean, there are definitely people out there who would do that, but…it seems a bit fishy.”
Feeling somewhat suspicious, I press the doorbell.
Incidentally, there is basically one person in charge for each debtor, but since Aira was still a newbie, I, as his senior, accompanied her in case something happened.
Then, soon a man comes out of the house.
His appearance was certainly as Aira described…he looked like an ordinary guy who could be found anywhere.
“Oh, sorry…I completely forgot to pay..erm…how much was it?”
”…..100,000 yen, including late fees.”
“Oh, so it’s 300,000 yen including the principal. I have some extra money, so I’ll pay the principal and everything else now.”
I knew it… something is wrong.
Is it possible that he wanted 200,000 yen at the moment…?
As I’m thinking that, he mumbles a pout.
“…How is Rinoha? Is she lonely because she can’t see me?” he asked with a grin.
“…Ha…I see….nice to meet you…you crazy bastard.”
“…Hey, hey…I’m a customer. Don’t be like that.”
“…?” Aira makes a pouty face like she doesn’t know what’s going on even in this situation.
“…But are you sure? Revealing your face and name.”
“I don’t have a problem with that. I thought you would look a little more surprised though…I’m not sure why you noticed. You’re so boring.”
“…You haven’t given up on Akino san…have you?”
“…..Of course not. I love her.”
“Hmm? Are you classmates?” And by asking such a question without reading the air, the serious air is softened a little.
“…” …”
“….Hey. It’s about time you explain the situation.” he tells me, and I reluctantly explain the situation.
“…You see…this guy…you know…do you remember at the amusement park? See, he’s Akino san’s ex-boyfriend.”
“Oh… Ah… Ahhh… Aah ! ! Are you gonna fight him !?” And Aira, striking a fighting pose….
Ah… I’m starting to feel embarrassed too.
“…Looks like the loan sharks are also seriously short of staff. I mean, are they even able to collect the debt from this guy? …No…I guess that’s why you’re accompanying her…that’s tough.” the bastard said, sympathizing with me.
“…So? Since you took the trouble to meet me here…you must have had some business with me, right?”
“Not at all. I just thought maybe you guys misunderstood something. I thought I’d correct it.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“…Yeah. You…did you know what that woman did?”
“…..What?”
“…Ha, you were accusing me without knowing it. Well, I can’t even have a proper conversation with you in that state. I’m telling you, it was her that made me this way. It’s not some stalker’s paranoia. Well, if you really want to talk, come here anytime. I don’t want to make enemies with you people either.”
…Indeed. I don’t know what this guy did or what Akino san did.
“…Well, I’m not going to judge someone based on one side of the story. I’ve met a lot of liars in my line of work.”
“I’m relieved to hear that. See you later, Yamasaka.”
“…”
He even knows my name….
But I managed to get his name and address.
The fact that he took the risk of contacting me…seriously….
At any rate, I need to hear from Akino san.
