Only one night later, my heart was like two people.

This is what Osamu Dazai said in "Human Disqualification".

And Su Qi's current mood is:

Just a smile, my heart is like two people!

Saionji Saori, the flower of Kaolin in the class.

It turned out to be a ghost.

Beautiful, intellectual, all destroyed in a smile, bloody rift to see the heart of the hairy.

"Is this your cat?"

"No, stray cats."

"Stray cats, so small, pitiful."

Saionji petted the cat.

"It's a pity that I can't support you, you have to learn to survive on your own."

Saori Saionji pressed the kitten's flesh pad paws.

Smile......

Other! Don't laugh!

You don't laugh at you, you're still my goddess!

Su Qi wanted to cry without tears.

What a good girl, it's a pity that she has a long mouth.

Su Qi was in a trembling war, on the one hand, fear, and on the other hand, he was hit hard by the "goddess removing makeup".

But the kitten was fine.

It can see Su Qi's shrine, but it can't see the face of the rift woman in Xiyuan Temple.

Saionji held the kitten and played for a while.

The lunch break is almost over.

I said goodbye and went back to the classroom.

Su Qi sat on the bench, holding the cat, and was afraid of a cold sweat.

These ghosts hiding in the crowd are even more terrifying than the usual ghosts, they come too suddenly, and there is no time to react.

I can't tell the difference in everyday life.

They appear as if there is a "trigger switch".

Saya is a U-turn, Saionji is smiling.

……

"If you don't have a place to go, and you won't be looking for food, just stay around here, and I'll bring you something to eat every day at noon."

Su Qi took the kitten back to the green belt behind the teaching building, where the shrine was located.

The kitten was well fed and drunk, with its belly facing the sky, and just dozed off.

Su Qixin said that the cat looked silly.

It's far worse than the pair of little squirrels before.

Speaking on its own, I don't know if it can understand.

……

On the way back.

Su Qi was still thinking.

He thought he was the only one who could see the shrine.

I didn't expect to be seen by some small animals.

Is this critter inspired a little stronger?

But the kitten couldn't tell that Saionji was a ghost.

……

School is dismissed in the afternoon.

Today, Su Qi will not go to the song card department.

In addition to training for the upcoming competition, he participates in club activities 3 days a week, and the rest of the days are to go to work.

After the death of a parent.

His financial situation is not very good.

He didn't plan to touch the insurance indemnity, which was the college tuition he left behind.

The rest is compensated by the government, but it is not much, and after paying the tuition fees, there is not much left.

So he has to rely on part-time jobs to earn living expenses.

Su Qi used to work in a café.

Later, he was approached by his father's former friends.

He was offered a more stable part-time job.

……

Watanabe Law Firm.

Shingo Watanabe, a lawyer, Ben nurse.

Su Qi's father's former friend.

When his parents died in an accident, the lawyer provided a lot of help to Su Qi, who was young and didn't understand anything at the time, free of charge.

Afterward.

When he learned that Su Qi was working outside for living expenses, he said that he could provide him with a part-time job in the law firm.

As a result, Su Qi became an internal assistant at Watanabe Law Firm, part-time.

Private firm, small in scale.

Mr. Watanabe, a trainee paralegal, and Su Qi.

There were three people in total.

Trainee assistants are law students who have graduated from law school, passed the bar exam, and are qualified to practice law.

Su Qi is just a high school student......

Although I am very grateful to Mr. Watanabe for providing him with this job in the law firm, I am also often holding the Six Law Books and learning to recharge my batteries.

But being a lawyer is a very professional profession.

At present, there are less than 40,000 practicing lawyers in Japan, and this is because the difficulty of the bar examination has been greatly reduced.

If you don't talk far, let's talk about the first two years.

This number has to be cut in half.

The high threshold has created a high social status and high professionalism for the Japanese lawyer profession.

It's not that Su Qi can help if he holds the Six Laws Book for half a year.

He couldn't even send a lawyer's letter.

He's an internal assistant here.

The work is, making tea, doing hygiene, printing documents, answering the phone, receiving customers, delivering contracts, legal documents......

That's right, secretarial, miscellaneous.

However, the fact that high school students are allowed to do this part-time is already a great concern given to him by Watanabe-sensei.

In fact, all this work could have been done by trainee solicitors.

But in order to take care of him, Watanabe-sensei specially took out the housekeeping work and offered him a job.

Su Qi is grateful and respectful to Mr. Watanabe for helping him.

……

"Su Qi, make three copies of this contract."

Naoto Ueno, senior in Ueno.

This is a trainee solicitor in a law firm.

Another employee besides Su Qi.

"This is the document of the infringement case of East Paper Co., Ltd...... The court was held yesterday? The result? ”

"A big victory that is sure of nine out of ten, and the verdict should come down in a few days."

"Is this a victory?"

"In a phased victory, the defendant will definitely not be satisfied with the result of this verdict and will appeal."

Ueno-senpai said, and the phone vibrate.

"Watanabe-sensei is looking for me, I'll go first."

"I'll put it on your desk when the contract is printed."

"Okay."

Su used a photocopier to print the contract.

Restrained his expression and "ignored" the grimace on the glass platen of the photocopier.

The copied documents were neatly stacked on Ueno's senior's desk.

……

Su Qi sat back at his desk at the reception, facing the outside of the glass door of the law firm.

Across the street from Watanabe Law Firm is another law firm.

Nikaido Law Firm.

Masato Nikaido, a well-known lawyer in the industry, opened a law firm.

Su Qi went to Ueno's seniors a few times, and communicated some things about the case.

It's different from private law firms like theirs.

Although Nikaido Legal Affairs has also been newly established in the past two years, it is larger than them and has more backbone lawyers.

With nearly 20 experienced legal partners and practicing paralegals, it is a mid-to-high-end new law firm in Tokyo.

There are mainly Nikaido masato.

An undefeated lawyer who has never lost a lawsuit.

A golden sign in Tokyo's lawyer's circle.

If your own law firm is located opposite this "golden signboard", its business will be affected to some extent.

……

Su Qi sat behind the reception desk and was on duty.

Through the glass door, I saw a middle-aged man with a backpack coming out of the law firm opposite, walking towards their law firm.

Ah, here, here's business.

"Hello, Watanabe Law Firm, how can I help you?"

"I would like to consult with Shingo Watanabe...... attorney"

The middle-aged man looked anxious and confused.

Everybody who comes to the law firm is like that, because the people who will be here are people who are in trouble.

"Recommended by Nikaido Sensei?"

The middle-aged man nodded.

Su Qi knew it in his heart.

This is not the first time.

If the Nikaido Law Firm doesn't want to take on the case, it will be thrown here.

Su Qi didn't understand it when he first came, but he knew it a few times later, and the cases they deliberately sent were basically pits, either risky or difficult for the client to get along with.

In particular, the "philanthropist" Nikaido barrister personally recommended it.

"I'm going to sue Hasegawa Beauty Clinic in 3 towns in Adachi Ward, and they killed my wife! I need a lawyer. ”
