By taking the Shinkansen back from Kyoto to Tokyo, it's past dinner.

Ritsu Sasashima, who only eats one bowl of ramen a day, feels empty, but he can't find a place to eat dinner at a leisurely time now, so he has to go to the research institute and hand it over to Takai, the person in charge of Laboratory No. 2, and at the same time, he has to meet with Shifu Jingguang to report on the recent situation.

Due to the relatively tight schedule of tasks during this time, Sasashima Ritsu has not found time to meet with Jingguang, and it has been more than three months ago that the two have exchanged information face-to-face, and these times they have exchanged information through lockers, so it's time to meet and talk.

"I'll go to the institute, you can go back and rest."

"Well, Akemi just called me."

The sour smell of love came to his face, and Ritsu Sasashima waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry, let's go." ”

I almost blurted out "get out", single dogs really don't want to fill their stomachs with dog food.

Driving the GT40 to the research institute, he went to the No. 2 laboratory, knocked on the glass curtain wall, and handed the USB flash drive in his hand to the person in charge, Takai, with a blank face, and said, "The things are for you, put them away." ”

"Mr. Macallan, don't worry, I'll take good care of it." Gao Jing is a scientific researcher who examined various physical indicators for himself when he first entered the organization, and his status is much higher than him in just a few years, and his plain language has been transformed into honorifics.

Ritsu Sasashima glanced at the more thinning hair on the top of his head, and sure enough, he was prone to baldness when he was engaged in scientific research.

I hadn't seen Shiho Miyano for a while, and I didn't know what step she was taking now, so while dinner was still served in the cafeteria, Ritsu Sasashima quickened her pace to the door of Laboratory No. 5 and entered the password directly.

Shiho Miyano, who was teasing the guinea pig, immediately restrained the smile on his face after hearing the movement at the door, and after seeing that the person who came was not vodka, who had always come to ask about the progress of research and development, but The Macallan, his tense pretty face relaxed a little.

"Why are you here?"

"You don't think I'm welcome here, do you?"

Shiho Miyano continued to play with the mouse with a small branch, and said leisurely: "You are a busy person, most of you came here for progress, right?" ”

"No, I just wanted to invite you to the cafeteria for dinner."

“…… Would you be so idle? ”

"At least I'm pretty idle now, today's mission is over, and it's free time."

"Oh, let's talk while eating, there are indeed some problems in research and development, I originally wanted to put it directly into animal experiments, but now it seems that there are still things that need to be modified."

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them went to the cafeteria and found a quiet corner to sit down, and Ritsu Sasashima, who was already hungry, rolled up the clam pasta with a fork, the amount of clam meat was very large and there was no sand, and it could be seen that the chef had put a lot of thought into handling the clams.

During the cooking process, sake should be added to remove the fishy smell and make the sauce thick and slightly sweet, and the fragrant sauce is paired with fresh clam meat, which is moderately salty and refreshing.

"Compounds have a variety of properties, so you can take your time and not rush." Ritsu Sasashima took a sip of the iced oolong tea on the table and continued, "It is difficult for a stable compound to exert all the pharmacological effects, and at the same time to avoid side effects. ”

"I've done a lot of experiments, big and small, and I can't find the perfect optimization solution. Recently, the organization has also been urging me a lot, but it has disrupted my rhythm. Shiho Miyano held the fork and was sullen, and even his favorite sweets became unpalatable.

"At my own pace, this kind of thing is in no hurry. And you have to know that the research and development of APTX4869 is basically done by you alone, and it is difficult to complete drug research and development alone, you are already amazing. ”

Ritsu Sasashima encourages him, saying that he probably knows what the problem is after hearing Shiho's troubles, but he can't come up with a solution to delay the production of the medicine.

"It's rare to hear words of encouragement from you."

"If you like to hear it, I can say more." Ritsu Sasashima put down his fork and picked up his phone, then said, "Success is not something that will come in the future, but it will continue to accumulate from the moment you decide to do it." ”

Shiho Miyano rolled his eyes, glanced at the screen of his mobile phone that was displaying dense text, and said speechlessly: "You can't say it without Yahoo, right?" ”

"I don't usually look at celebrity quotes, especially those that motivate and encourage."

“…… If you fall in love in the future, will you find a lot of books about love to study? ”

"Questions?"

“…… I don't think you're saved. ”

Shiho Miyano stared at the half-moon eyes, feeling that Macallan was the type who couldn't find a partner, and even if he had low emotional intelligence, he had the habit of asking Yahoo if he had a problem... It's also so weird.

If you have to search for gifts for your girlfriend and learn the skills of falling in love with books, then you can find the legendary chosen son, who has been blessed by burning incense and worshiping Buddha for 800 years.

Miyano felt that she would rather believe that a sow could easily climb a tree and that a mouse could pin a cat to the ground than that The Macallan could find a match.

"It's like you're saved."

Ritsu Sasashima also thinks that Shiho Miyano is an insulator in love, and it is hard to imagine what type of boy she will like for a precocious child like her.

First of all, the IQ must not be low, otherwise you will be PASSED if you don't have a common language with her. Secondly, in terms of appearance, it is absolutely necessary to reach the upper middle level, and the word talented and beautiful still makes sense. The second is that the family conditions cannot be too bad, who makes this precocious girl's hobby is to buy luxury goods.

At last... In the end, I guess I can accept her as a member of the organization?

Wait, what are you going to do with all this, I'm not her dad?!

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't help frowning, frightened by his own thoughts, but he didn't expect him to treat Shiho not as a sister, but as a daughter?

"I'm still underage, so I don't think about this, but you're long past the legal age of marriage, and you're the one who has to worry about this, right?"

“…… I'm full, goodbye. ”

Seeing Macallan leave with a plate on his face, Shiho Miyano shook his little feet in a happy mood, and after carrying the plate to the cleaning area, he hummed an unknown tune and walked towards the bedroom.

She pushed open the door and saw the black charcoal slumped on the ground licking her hair, squatted down and stroked it twice, and then complained: "Your unreliable master forgot about you again, and he didn't even come to see you." ”

"Meow~~"

"What a good boy, my sister bought you your favorite goat's milk pudding." Shiho Miyano paused and said with a smile: "Of course, it was bought with that guy's money, who let my sister have no money." ”

Ritsu Sasashima, who left the institute and sat in the car, checked his mailbox with his mobile phone, and when he saw the reply that Jingguang had given him five minutes ago, he deleted the email and rushed towards Yonekacho 2-chome.

I don't know that someone is playing with their own wallet.
