A Reunion.

A few days prior to the events in the last episode, the owner of the restaurant Shioi asked Morita Ryoichi to meet him at said restaurant through her daughter Abe Toshiko, one of the managers of the game store that Ryoichi tends to visit.

He ate his lunch faster than usual and then went to see Sakai Masao, the owner of the restaurant. After explaining the employees at the front that he was called there to meet with the owner he was conducted to a office at the back, there was Mister Masao accompanied by his wife Haru, once the employee informed them of their visitor he entered the room, and once the door was closed Mr. Masao raised from his chair and went to hug Ryoichi.

“My dear boy, look at you, you are a full grown man now, and to think that this vigorous man once worked for us, isn’t he handsome Haru?”

“Indeed, he has the body of a sculpture and the hearth of a missionary, two qualities needed to be a perfect gentleman.”

“You are both too kind to me, I sure wish one day I could be half of what you have described me to be.”

“Nonsense my boy, you are already twice what this couple of old people have described you as.” Replied Masao. “But well, what do you want to eat my boy? This is your house, ask for anything and we will have someone make it for you.”

“I appreciate your hospitality, but I have already eaten before I came here, I don’t want to inconvenience you nor the people that work here.”

“My dear boy, you are too considerate with us, and here I was just about to ask you for a favor, how could I persuade you to do it now?”

“There is no need for you to negotiate with me, I will be honored to be at your service, so my good sir, ask me anything you might want from me, and if it is within my capabilities, I will be pleased to offer you my help.”
