Namae's blunt remark made Kana's smiling face confused.
"I- I get it. I'm sorry, Sei-san." Kana carried her bag and finally left Namae alone.
'Finally.' Namae sighed as she saw Kana's leaving image far away from her.
Namae thought that she might've been too harsh in making her leave but... It was a good move either way.
And so the work continued.
...
10 pm. At exactly 10 pm, Namae stopped working.
"Ahhh my back hurts." She swinged her arms back and forth.
She prepared to leave and carried her bag with her. Namae started walking and finally arrived at the exit door of the company.
She stretched her limbs one last time and yawned.
"Hawh.. I'm exhausted." She covered her mouth.
Tomorrow was her day off and she was glad that she finally got time to rest. And also tomorrow, is the day she finally gets her paycheck.
*Growl*
Since lunchtime, she hasn't eaten anything yet.
Namae thought about opening her wallet but doing it would do her no good since she was broke for now.
"Let's go home."
And so that night, Namae slept without eating anything.
...
*Beep* *Beep* *Bee-*
*CRASH*
Namae used her right hand to throw the alarm clock towards the wall. And it broke into pieces.
"Urgh.. what time is it?" She checked her phone.
It was already Sunday, 7:45 am.
"It's already seven? Wait,"
"!!!"
It was finally time she receives her salary.
"HAHA!"
..
*Beep*
Namae clicked the button on the ATM machine and chose balance inquiry.
She checked how much balance she had now that she finally received her money.
[¥65,000.00]
"HUH?"
"Only ¥65,000? Why the hell-!
Oh... right. The manager cut mine into half. Damn it."
Namae's normal pay in her company is ¥130,000 per month. Since her manager cut it in half because of her consistent tardiness, she got the payment she deserved.
After inquiring, she finally got her money.
Namae only withdrew fifty thousand yen just enough to wait for another two weeks til she gets her another payment.
"I guess it's time to get frugal."
*Growl*
But before anything else, she needed to eat first.
..
"I'll have another round pls. With cheese. Add a strawberry soda too."
"Alright!" The store worker responded.
Namae was currently at a chicken restaurant to satisfy her hunger.
"Here you go, miss. And a strawberry soda." The worker placed a tray on her table.
"Thank you."
Namae took a bite on her chicken.
"Mhm so good."
*Cough* *Cough!*
She immediately drank her strawberry soda. It felt like there was something stuck in her throat but the moment she drank it, she felt free.
"Haghh. *Burp* Nice." She burped.
After few minutes, Namae finally finished eating.
"Here." Namae gave the number card to the cashier. "How much is the total?"
"Hm let me see. Two plates of garlic chicken, three plates of chicken with cheese and four strawberry sodas. That would be ¥12,750." The cashier smiled.
Namae fell silent.
'¥12,750? That's a big bite on my money... Nevermind.'
"Are you paying in card or cash?"
"Cash. Here." Namae handed twenty thousand yen.
"I received ¥20,000 yen, the change would be ¥7,250. Here you go, miss."
"Ah, yes. Thank you." Namae replied as she received her change.
"Come again!"
'I doubt that..'
*Cling* *Clang* The bells on the door clanged as Namae pushed the exit door from the restaurant.
"...."
Namae felt that her pocket suddenly went light all of a sudden.
'I'm.. just gonna eat bread and ramen for the next few days.'
The next day...
"Good morning Sei-san!" Nobara greeted.
"Ah, yes. Good morning." Namae tiredly replied.
"Is something wrong, Sei-san?"
"I'm broke. Nobara-san, can you give me a million yen?"
"Pft- even I, don't have that kind of amount. I'm sorry." She replied with a laugh.
"Urghh just give me a sugar daddy then. But I want a handsome one with lots of money."
"Yes, yes. Let's continue working, Sei-san."
Kana's view entered Namae's sight and when they locked gazes, Kana was the first one to deviate her gaze.
'Hm??'
"Good morning Ito-san!" A colleague greeted
"Good morning." Kana smiled.
'Weird.'
*Ding!*
*Ding!*
*Ding!*
*Ding!*
Suddenly, all the employees' phone rang as it notified something.
"Hm?"
"What's happening?"
"It's the gc."
"Did manager send us an invitation?"
"Sei-san, it looks like there's a party coming up. Look at the gc."
"What?" Namae's stomach suddenly started twitching.
'I sense danger.'
Namae opened her phone and checked the gc.
[Manager: There will be an evening party held at Nomearod Hotel. It will be this Saturday. Be there before 8 pm and wear decent clothes.]
*Clack*
"Sei-san? You dropped your phone." Nobara picked up Namae's phone.
"Impossible. It's happening again." Namae mumbled.
"Sei-san?"
"It can't be. Eughp-" Namae stood up from her seat, took her phone back, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Sei-san? Where are you going?"
..
"Bleurghh- *cough* puachkk--"
*Flush*
Namae always vomits whenever her stomach twitches.
It indicates that a cliché will happen soon.
"That dream of mine...
Must've been a foreshadowing of events."
