Chapter 45: Now that things have come to this, let’s work first

Finally, this Gurongi was blown to pieces by a Knight Kick from the All-Round Kuuga.

When the explosion happened over there—

Kawahara, who handed the final blow to Yusuke Godai, regained his human form. He picked up the handlebar that he had just thrown on the ground and inserted it into the motorcycle.

Then I looked at the time, 6:58.

It’s not too late, I can still go back and work overtime.

"I'm going back to the company first. There won't be another Gurongi tonight. You should go back and rest early too."

Kawahara said as he pushed the motorcycle out of the alley.

"Eh?"

The breathless Godai Yusuke turned around and looked. He also quickly changed back to human form, looked at Kawahara and asked curiously: "It's so late, are you going back to work, Mr. Kawahara?"

"Yeah, it's not too late."

Kawahara got on the motorcycle, put on his helmet, stepped on the ignition and stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Yusuke Godai watched him leave.

"Mr. Kawahara, you really like your work..."

He looked over there and talked to himself.

After a while, the sirens of police cars sounded from not far away, and Xun Ichijo, who was late, quickly ran over.

"Fudaime!"

"Mr. Ichijo?" Yusuke Godai looked back.

"Sorry, I'm late. Are you okay? How is that unidentified life form?" Xun Ichijo said and turned his head to look.

Then I saw a building with collapsed walls.

The battle is so fierce?
Yusuke Godai scratched his head and said, "The unconfirmed life form has been eliminated. Mr. Kawahara came here just now, but he went back to work after the fight."

Xun Ichijo nodded: "Is that so..."

"Oh, by the way, I'm sorry about something. I accidentally broke the motorcycle!" said Yusuke Godai at this time.

"What?" Xun Ichijo was stunned when he heard that.

"When we were fighting against unidentified life forms..."

Yusuke Godai immediately described with great emotion, using both his hands and feet, the details of the battle he had fought with Gurongi for the entire afternoon.

……

09:42pm.

The night gets darker and the dew gets heavier.

Archaeology Research Room, Seongnam University.

Even though he had been fighting with Gurongi for half a day today, Yusuke Godai still had enough energy to climb up the teaching building.

The window of the archaeological laboratory was not closed again.

Yusuke Godai gently pushed open the window.

But when he finally climbed in through the window to scare Sawatari Sakurako, he found that she had fallen asleep on the desk. It was only because the lights in the room were on that he thought she was still working.

And judging from the energy drinks piled up on the desk, it can be seen that Sawatari Sakurako must have stayed up late to work overtime.

"Eh……"

Seeing this situation, Yusuke Godai didn't want to wake the person up by force, so he walked lightly and approached Sawatari Sakurako's computer curiously.

Above is a super-ancient text that is currently being deciphered.

Although the records about Kuuga's abilities have been deciphered, he also heard a few days ago that Gene in Nagano Prefecture had sent news about newly discovered ultra-ancient artifacts with written records.

He looked at the computer screen and saw that the decryption progress had reached 100%, so Yusuke Godai helped him press the Enter key.

Hey.

The screen flickers.

A column of ultra-ancient text with translations emerged.

——［It’s already autumn when I write these words. Although I still can’t go to the beach, it’s enough that everyone can live happily here.］
Is this what is written on those tablets?
It is slightly different from what I imagined, and it is actually filled with records of harmonious daily life.

Could it be the daily life of super ancient humans?
Yusuke Godai was very curious. He glanced at Sawatari Sakurako who had not woken up yet, then carefully scrolled the mouse to scroll down.

——［At that time, I seemed to have asked Kawahara-sama, when would he be happy?］

——[I want to help.]
——［But he was answered with “At this point, I can only hope to live a normal life”, and he didn’t even give me a chance to help.］
——[But it would be nice if I could have such a life in my dreams. Please listen, it is the sound of the seaside.]
……

……

After a few days.

3 month 25 day.

Since the fight with the Gurongi that lasted only a few hours, no new unconfirmed life forms have appeared, and the Joint Investigation Department and even Yusuke Godai have been able to have some free time.

And today is Saturday, a day off.

Kawahara rarely went to the company to report performance, but chose to sit in the corner of the cafe, leisurely drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

So when Yusuke Godai got up early in the morning, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he saw the man sitting comfortably by the window.

Then stare at——Kawahara: “…”

stare--

Kawahara: "..."

stare--

Kawahara felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Godai Yusuke scratched his head and laughed, "No... I just find it incredible that it's already nine o'clock and Mr. Kawahara is still here!"

Kawahara looked at him speechlessly, then turned his eyes back to the newspaper in front of him: "I'm not a workaholic, okay."

"No, even though you said that, they do look alike!" Yusuke Godai said with a smile.

"Okay, you have some important things to do today, so why don't you get going quickly?" Kawahara said helplessly.

"Hmm? How did Mr. Kawahara know that?"

Yusuke Godai had an impatient smile on his face as he tore off a page from the calendar hanging on the wall.

He looked at this day with great anticipation.

Chuan Yuanze supported his head and said, "Because after I came back last night, the store manager kept pulling me aside and said that I had to fulfill a very important date today, and he also said that he hoped I could hold hands with that person..."

——Kuga actually has a daily date routine?
How fresh! Could the target be Sawatari Sakurako?

Hearing this, Godai Yusuke smiled and said, "Eh~Did Dad actually say that?"

He didn't look like he wanted to explain anything. He probably just thought it was an interesting statement, then straightened his clothes and gave a thumbs up very solemnly.

"Okay! I'm going out!"

"Go quickly, and remember to hold hands with others."

Kawahara said this without turning his head. When he heard a ding from the door, Yusuke Godai had already run out excitedly.

After reading the newspaper, he couldn't help but ponder it out of curiosity.

So the person he's dating is really Sawatari Sakurako?

And will Yusuke Godai really date?

He thought that Yusuke Godai would be a fool, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to hold hands with Sawatari Sakurako at the end, and they were just vague and ambiguous throughout the whole process.

Kawahara was gossiping secretly in his heart.

There was another ding at the door.

He thought it was Yusuke Godai who had returned, after all, there were not many customers early in the morning. However, when he turned around, he saw it was a young girl.

The girl looked around the store and her eyes fell on him. Then her eyes lit up and she came closer: "Huh? Are you an employee of the store?"

Kawahara: "..."

Shouldn't he be a guest if he looks so leisurely?

But he still nodded and said, "The manager is seasoning the curry in the kitchen. You can sit down for a while."

As she was saying this, the jewelry store manager opened the curtain and came out. When she saw the girl, her face was very calm, and then her voice was very loud: "Xiao Nana, you are finally here~"

"uncle!"

The girl who saw him responded perfunctorily, then continued to look at Kawahara: "Hello! I'm Nana Asahina!"

Kawahara was thinking about the relationship between their titles, and smiled when he heard it: "Hello, I'm Kawahara."

"Ah~ You look even more handsome when you smile!"

Nana Asahina immediately smiled in admiration: "Just like the leading actor in a movie!"

Hearing this, the jade store manager glanced at her.

Kawahara smiled awkwardly: "..."

He thought that there were only Yusuke Godai and Manager Shikidama in PolePole Cafe, but he didn't expect that the manager actually had a niece.

Nana Asahina--because she came to Tokyo to study, she started living temporarily with her uncle.

This means we will be together for a long time in the future...

This girl has a very lively and enthusiastic personality, and her occasional eccentricity is very similar to that of the jade store manager. She is the type who often has strange ideas without realizing it, and like the jade store manager, once they start chatting, they become uncontrollable and difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Asahina Nana was particularly enthusiastic in telling him the story of her adventure (lost road) coming to Tokyo. Kawahara seemed a little uncomfortable responding.

He listened silently, was distracted silently, waited silently for lunch, and began to reflect on why he didn't go to work today...

Then suddenly, his cell phone rang.

Kawahara quickly came to his senses and took out the phone to check it out - it was an unfamiliar number from a public telephone booth.

And the people who usually call him with this number...

"Yusuke Godai?"

……

　　【Tips】

　　P1: Kawahara’s “work” is, in a way, the same as Yusuke Godai’s “adventure”.

　　P2: The timeline of Godai Yusuke's "date" in the TV series, when he was fighting against the Rhino. But because Kawahara killed monsters too quickly in this story, the Rose Girl also accelerated the progress of the game, so at this time, the Mushroom had already appeared!
