Ordinary Living Qualification Certificate

On Thursday morning, Kobayashi stepped on the spot and arrived at the office.

Holding on to the door frame, she took a deep breath, and at the very moment, she pressed her finger on the punch card.

"Successful punch."

The workplace OL breathed a sigh of relief: "Catch up..."

After straightening out the messy red hair blown by the wind, she pushed open the office door and came to her work station.

"Good morning, Senior Kobayashi."

The black-haired junior greeted Xiao Lin with a smile, and then walked past her.

"Ah, Kawada, good morning."

Kobayashi replied subconsciously.

"Uh..." After a while, she turned her head to look at the young man's back, narrowing her eyes slightly, "Kawada?"

There is always something wrong.

Pulling out the black chair, the red-haired programmer sat on the soft leather chair and turned on the computer.She withdrew her gaze, looked at Long Gu on the opposite side, and asked, "Morning, Long Gu."

The office worker, Long Guzhen, didn't raise his head: "Morning, Kobayashi."

Xiaolin: "..."

"I said you won't go to liver activities again, right?" She frowned helplessly, turned her head slightly and saw the thick bags under the eyes of her colleague.

"Be careful, sudden death at work is not good news."

Takitani: "Then you should make a suggestion to the game official, not to start a new round of activities on Wednesday."

He smiled, and finally stopped the liver process.

There was freshly brewed coffee in hand, and the dark brown liquid gave off a subconsciously refreshing fragrance.

Takiya took a sip of his coffee.

"Is it Kawada's again?"

"No, I rushed by myself."

He stirred the liquid with a spoon, and said nonchalantly, "He seems a little different today."

Xiaolin just paused with his hands on the keyboard.

"I also feel something is wrong."

She frowned and thought for a while: "But I can't tell, what's wrong?"

"It's the voice." Takiya put down his glass, turned his head to look at the young man shuttling through the office, "Without Kawata-kun's energetic voice, everything feels wrong."

Indeed, after just coming to the office for more than half a month, everyone seems to be used to the energetic voice in the office every day.Suddenly quiet now, always feel a little strange and uncomfortable.

Xiao Lin simply gave up on the liver process, propped his chin, and looked at the other end of the office.

Kawata was still the same, even the same clothes as yesterday, and the maroon windbreaker he brought over was well stored in the staff rest area.Wearing the company's uniform work clothes, the young man still coped with the work with ease.

But it's just weird, it doesn't seem right.

Whether it is the attitude towards work or the energetic voice, it is different from yesterday, no, it has always been the attitude.

"What did he do yesterday?"

Long Gu thought for a while: "He came to the company yesterday to ask for a leave of absence, saying that he was going to take an exam."

The team leader who has been squeezing employees and finding it difficult to ask for leave even agreed.

Thinking about it now, Long Guzhen couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

"take an exam……"

Kobayashi ponders...

What exactly is Kawada taking the test for?It seems that there are no large-scale exams in this period of time recently, right?What's more, he didn't pass last time, and it started again after only a dozen days?

It's weird when you think about it.

Although he is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, Kobayashi still hopes to see the former Kawata.

It's not that he's not doing well right now, it's just that... Chuan Tiange should be enthusiastic, right?

Kobayashi decided to ask.

And the best time to chat is probably lunch time.

The company had an hour's lunch break, and Kobayashi and Takiya saw Kawata waiting in line at the restaurant under the company.

A slender young man, holding his lunch, sat quietly in the employee's seat. He put his hands together, read something softly, and then gracefully started the lunch time.

Xiaolin: "..."

That strange feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Not to mention that Kawata seldom eats with them at noon, the last time everyone had dinner together, Kawata behaved very casually, rarely like this...too elegant? ?

Kobayashi walked over and sat opposite Kawada.

"Kawada-kun..."

The young man paused, raised his head to look at her, and said with frowned eyebrows, "Good afternoon, Senior Xiao Lin."

Kobayashi: "Good afternoon..."

She hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is the exam not going well?"

The young man was taken aback: "What?"

"I feel that you are a little absent-minded today."

"Really?" Xiao Lin vaguely saw the corner of his mouth twitch.

Afterwards, the young man on the opposite side smiled slightly, showing an overly standardized expression: "No, I'm fine."

Xiaolin: "..."

Don't you have a good expression now?I've only seen this kind of expression on the faces of characters possessed by ghosts in horror movies. Hey!

Even if his world view was refreshed this morning, Xiao Lin felt a little creepy at this moment.

"Oh, it's almost time for a break, Senior Xiao Lin, I'm leaving first."

After saying this, Kawata left with his plate in his hands.

"how?"

Walking over with the dinner plate he just made, Takiya asked, "Did you find out anything?"

Xiao Lin shook his head, feeling a little helpless: "Not at all."

"Is that so..." He thought about it.

-

Afternoon is still boring work time.

Watching the sunset and the night fall, Kawata was not as enthusiastic as before today, so the efficiency in the office was not as high as it was a few days ago.

It wasn't until the time for overtime work in the evening that everyone left work one after another.

"Kawada!"

Calling to stop the black-haired junior who was about to leave, Kawada turned his head, Kobayashi and Takiya stood together, and waved to him: "Want to have a drink together?"

The two seniors planned to figure out what happened to the hot-blooded junior today.

Kawata was surprised for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Okay..."

Kobayashi and Takitani took him to the izakaya where he often drank, ordered sake skillfully, and several plates of meat and side dishes, and the three of them sat down together.

"Kawada-kun is very young, is he 23 years old this year?"

The young man paused: "Yes..."

"Well, just chatting casually, don't be so restrained." Takiya said with a smile, "By the way, do you have any new hobbies recently?"

Kawata: "This, not yet."

"what--"

As if he understood something, he nodded suddenly.

Kawata: "..."

What the hell does this guy know? ?

Xiaolin threw peanuts into his mouth, and asked casually, "How do you feel about work recently? You can ask me if you have any difficulties."

"Thank you Senior Kobayashi..." The black-haired young man showed the strange and serious smile in the morning again, "I will..."

"This guy is completely different from before!" X2;

The senior duo looked at each other, and they both saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.

"It's really strange!" X2;

This kind of dinner was going on in eerie silence, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally came to an end.

But things got a little weird.

The red-haired OL speaks indistinctly with her tongue out.

Putting on glasses for no reason, Takitani-senpai, who became very strange, spoke words that the black-haired young man didn't understand.

The only young man awake: "..."

He was held by the shoulders of the so-called Senior Xiao Lin and shook him, almost shaking his brains.

Holding his strange round glasses, Senior Takitani yelled loudly: "The maid culture is a good civilization!!" while trying to stuff an empty glass into the black-haired young man's mouth.

"Uh..." Just as he was getting annoyed, a new person entered the izakaya.

"Little Lin-san!"

The blond-haired, orange-eyed woman in maid outfit rushed over, put her arms around Senior Kobayashi's neck and started asking a series of questions——

"Huh?! Has Kobayashi-san changed his mind so quickly!"

"Why didn't you come back after get off work! Thor, I was honestly waiting for Kobayashi-san!"

"What are these two human males! Are they cheating?! They cheated in a fair manner, or are they two—"

She wailed, extremely aggrieved, and shook senior Xiao Lin who was drunk: "Xiao Lin-san explain quickly, as long as you explain, I will listen to Thor!!"

Kawata: "..."

The relationship between ordinary people is amazing...

He couldn't help thinking with some emotion.

In the next second, his gaze was fixed on the blonde maid's head.

"Is that reindeer antler?"

As the maid swayed, the strange horn swayed, attracting his attention very much.

"Or... the dragon horn?"

As if noticing his gaze, the blond maid turned her head.

"Ah...ahhaha, this is cosplay!" She said haha ​​and pointed to her head.

Ah, that's right.Sure enough, he said that the family members of ordinary people are so likely to be a dragon?

The dark-haired young man nodded with a smile.

"Well then, it's getting late, so let's leave?"

The woman named "Tor" also agreed very much, wishing to drag Senior Kobayashi back home.

They paid the money and left the izakaya. When they were about to return home, Senior Kobayashi suddenly called out: "Kawada!"

Thor: "!"

Facing the gaze of the blond maid who was about to eat people, the black-haired young man responded very naturally, and smiled: "What's the matter, Senior Xiaolin?"

Xiao Lin looked at him quietly, and suddenly said with his tongue out: "You, did you watch the TV series of Backstreet Girls yesterday!"

The young man froze for a moment.

"Ah, this..." He hesitated for a while, then replied with a smile, "I watched it, the acting is very exciting."

Xiao Lin lowered his eyes, as if it was just a sudden question.

"Is that so..."

"Tor——" She returned to the state of her big tongue again, "Go—home—"

Thor: "Okay, Kobayashi-san!!"

After they left, Senior Takitani who woke up at some point patted the black-haired young man on the shoulder: "I'll go home by myself."

Kawata: "No problem? Do you need me to take you back?"

"No need." Senior Takitani twitched the corners of his mouth, as if suddenly becoming a little distant, "I'm fine, it's just a short distance home."

"OK……"

Seeing the back of the senior leaving slowly, Kawata also planned to leave.

"Kawada..."

Takiya who suddenly turned around called out to him.

"What's the matter, Takitani-senpai?"

Makoto Takitani: "Backstreet Girl is a good actress, right?"

The black-haired young man smiled and said, "Of course..."

He blinked and said playfully, "She's my favorite actress."

"Is that so..."
