Monday Morning.

Mondays in a shopping mall represent the calm after the storm, regularly not many customers came by on Mondays, a lot of the shops personnel also have their day-off on Mondays as well, so it is common to see the managers attending some of the shops.

One of the game shop managers, Abe Toshiko, is attending the shop today, since Goto Tadashi, the full-time employee at this store, also has his day-off on Monday.

Ryoichi, who was making his rounds, happened to pass by the store when the manager was organizing the entrance shelves.

“Ara, Morita-san. Good morning!”

Him, recognizing her voice, turned towards the store and greeted her.

“Good morning Abe-san. Is great to see you again but it is unusual for you to be here this early.”

“Well, Koichi played until late yesterday, so he will arrive later.”

“That man, I was hoping that you would set him straight since you two get married, but I guess there is a side of a man that nobody will ever be able to change.”

“I guess so, by the way, Goto-kun told me you bought Elite Busters yesterday.”

“Ah hahahaha, yes I did, otherwise I would never stop getting messages from Koichi telling me to buy the game.”

“Be careful, even I have found myself getting more and more addicted to that game.”

“I’ll try my best, but if you ever heard from Tadashi that I didn’t come to work then you know what it was for.”

“Hahahaha, yeah, you won’t need to explain that.”

“Well then, I’ll be on my way.”

“Later!”

And he left the store and continued his way, but before he could get past the store Toshiko went outside and told him:

“Morita-san I almost forgot, my father is coming to the restaurant today, he was hoping you could meet him there at your lunch time.”

“Of course, tell him I’ll be there.”

“Thanks, see you later.”
