Phone Call with Mizuki
I feel uneasy as I go into the shop, and eventually I recieve a message.
It's from Koujaku.
[I saw Mizuki, but something seemed strange. When I talked to him, he kept spacing out and wouldn't react. I think you'de be better off listening instead of me.]
Aoba: Mizuki...
Something must be strange if Koujaku even sent me a message about it.
[If you have time, contact him. I'll come talk about the details later.]
Maybe he really is overdoing it...
I leave the counter, walk towards the toilet, and call Mizuki.
Aoba: ..... Hello? Mizuki?
Mizuki (phone): ...Aoba, huh? What's the matter?
Good, he answered the phone.
I feel a little relieved.
Aoba: Ah, nothing. I don't really have anything important to say, I just wanted to talk.
Mizuki (phone): What, we just saw each other yesterday. You're a weird guy.
Aoba: Nn... Naah. I just was wondering if you're okay.
Mizuki (phone): Course I am. Why?
Aoba: Because when we met yesterday, I thought you didn't seem so hot. Just a little, though.
Mizuki (phone): So you called because you were worried. Thanks. But I'm okay.
Aoba: Really?
Mizuki (phone): Yeah.
Aoba: Alright. Well then, let's talk some more another time.
Mizuki (phone): Right. Bye then.
Aoba: .....
After the call, I sigh and head back to the counter.
There was no life in Mizuki's voice after all.
He said he was okay, so I didn't listen too deeply, but...
On top of Granny falling down yesterday, my worries just keep growing.
I hope they're just imaginary fears...
I spend the rest of the afternoon worrying about Mizuki and Granny, unable to concentrate on work.
