After a moment of silence, the mischievous Old Auntie no longer wanted to keep teasing this Young Man.
She could not out-tease him anyway, and would only get mocked in return...
I choose to give up.
So she got straight to the point and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of calling me so late?"
"Empty, lonely, and cold."
"..."
"Get to the point."
"Oh, the point is, when will that identity of mine be ready?"
"...?"
Vermouth silently typed out a question mark. Faced with Fujino suddenly becoming proactive, all she could feel was, question marks?
Weren't you kind of indifferent about this before?
Why were you suddenly so concerned now?
Could it be that you were short on money and wanted to start getting paid sooner?
That did not seem likely...
Vermouth was baffled. She simply could not figure it out.
Fujino naturally knew what Old Auntie was thinking and said, "It's the end of the month. If I start work now, it'll be easier to get paid when salaries are settled. Besides, there seem to be quite a few days off next month, so I can work a few fewer days."
Vermouth: "..."
Work a few fewer days...
Didn't I tell you that you only needed to go in a few times a week?
So not only did you want to get paid sooner, you also wanted to take advantage of the hospital a little!
For a moment, Old Auntie did not know how to evaluate that maneuver.
She sighed helplessly. Of course, she did not really believe that Fujino genuinely wanted to start working just to collect a salary and slack off.
It was only the beginning of the month. Who were you fooling by talking about next month?
Could you at least check the date
