Chapter 4 Work Makes Me Happy
Kirigiri Shimizu accurately controlled the distance between the two at a position of 49 centimeters, while choosing to tilt in the opposite direction, minimizing the possibility of coincidence in a physical sense.
However, just before Kirigiri Shimizu fell, Komachi Akane displayed a reaction speed far beyond her usual abilities. Her figure appeared by Kirigiri's side, reaching out to help, but her left foot tripped over her right foot, causing her to fall as well.
Kirigiri Shimizu frowned. Even in this position, she was able to control her body and reached out to maintain her balance.
Her right hand happened to reach into Komachi's red and white shirt, grabbing onto something soft.
With a "thud," both of them fell to the ground simultaneously.
"Ouch..." Komachi Akane spread her legs apart, one hand touching the back of her head. She had also received professional combat training and excelled in it, which is why she was assigned to work alongside Kirigiri Shimizu, the ace combat force.
This fall really made her see stars, she gritted her teeth and held back the tears, finally taking in the situation in front of her.
Stopping her hand from touching the back of her head, she opened her mouth wide, standing frozen in place.
The cold and frosty captain, like the Grim Reaper, was lying between her skirt and blouse, with one hand reaching through the gap in her shirt, accurately grabbing onto her chest.
It was just like an unscrupulous boss taking advantage of their subordinate through an unwritten rule.
Amidst this sudden turn of events, her mind momentarily froze, unable to process the current situation rationally. The only thought echoing in her head: "Am I a victim of office politics?"
Yet Kirigiri Shimizu's expression remained unchanged. She observed Komachi Akane's reactions carefully, discerning from her demeanor that she wasn't colluding with the enemy.
Moreover, the intricate maneuver she just executed required countless rehearsals in her mind, implying the system was likely genuine.
With her desired conclusion in mind, Kirigiri Shimizu nonchalantly withdrew her hand from her chest and rose to her feet, eyeing Komachi Akane on the ground. "Sorry, I lost my balance."
"It's... it's fine." Komachi Akane, under the captain's gaze, felt a slight flush creep up her neck. Though falling victim to office politics was despicable, if the perpetrator happened to be a cold, cool, powerful superior – albeit with some gender ambiguity – it somehow seemed more bearable.
Sensing the lingering sensation in her chest and noticing the captain's superior stature, Komachi involuntarily swallowed a gulp of saliva and hastily stood up. "My mistake for losing balance."
"Alright, let's go." Kirigiri Shimizu displayed no sign of suspicion as she turned and headed towards the room, extending her hand to unlock the door with her fingerprint.
Komachi followed closely behind her, and when she looked inside the house from behind, she exclaimed, "It's so big."
This is a duplex apartment of at least two hundred square meters. Originally, she thought that with the captain's cold personality, the room should be empty and austere.
However, in reality, it was decorated in a black-dominated business style, with all the furniture neatly arranged everywhere. Although she couldn't recognize the brand of the furniture, just from the appearance, it looked like something she couldn't afford.
There were also some flowers and plants neatly placed on the balcony, obviously carefully taken care of.
Her understanding of her boss deepened a bit. She would mercilessly kill enemies and let herself be covered in blood, but she would also take care of the flowers and plants.
"I'm going to take a shower." Kirigiri Shimizu took out a pair of new slippers and handed them to her. Even after entering the room, she didn't take off her black coat. "We'll be up late tonight. If you have something to do, you can go back early."
"Huh?" Komachi's thoughts were interrupted as she looked at the slippers handed to her. The words "up late tonight" echoed in her mind, and suddenly she felt like crying. Why was the captain so skilled? It was obviously not the first time. This was asking for her opinion, whether she should refuse or not. If she agreed, it felt like a door to something incredible would immediately open.
Looking at Kirigiri Shimizu's face, which seemed to be carefully sculpted by a god, she felt dizzy and nodded: "It's okay, I live alone, so I can stay all night tonight... I also want to take a shower."
"Hmm." Kirigiri Shimizu nodded, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. This newly assigned assistant, although with average abilities, had a very good attitude towards work.
"There's a shower on the second floor, and bathrobes in the bathroom cabinet."
With their own thoughts, the two entered the bathroom.
After closing the door, Kirigiri Shimizu finally unbuttoned her windbreaker and hung it on the hanger. Because the trousers were damp from the inside out, they didn't dry quickly, and were now sticking to her thighs, feeling uncomfortable.
She took off her clothes one by one, revealing a nearly perfect body curve. Due to frequent battles, Kirigiri Shimizu's figure appeared more well-proportioned compared to the average woman.
She sank into the bathtub, one hand supporting her cheek, with the image of a child named Li Xia in her mind: "A beautiful life, mother..."
On the other side, Komachi Akane closed the door, immediately rushing to the washstand, turning on the tap, and desperately washing her face with cold water. "You're in trouble, Little Akane (Akane-chan). How could you agree to this..."
It was only when she felt the redness on her face subside a bit that she raised her head, looking at herself in the mirror on the washstand.
Even in a mature outfit with office attire and black stockings, it couldn't conceal her somewhat inexperienced face.
Komachi Akane has a sweet appearance with a slight baby fat on both cheeks. She was also the class flower during her time at the police academy, attracting the attention of many boys.
Not long after graduating from the police academy with outstanding achievements, she was transferred to the special cases department, where she encountered extraordinary events. Subsequently, she was assigned to work under Kirigiri Shimizu, known as the god of death.
Originally planning to resign and return home, she unexpectedly received a dubious invitation from her superior and, in a daze, agreed to it.
She slapped herself on the face, saying, "Akane, you've really gone bad. You're a dignified woman of the new century. How could you agree to do such a despicable thing?"
After slapping herself, she noticed a disposable razor on the washstand for guests and hesitated, thinking, "Maybe I should tidy up."
When Komachi Akane nervously emerged from the bathroom, she saw Kirigiri Shimizu already sitting on the living room sofa with a cup of coffee and two notebooks in front of him.
Blushing, Komachi Akane approached Kirigiri Shimizu, tightly holding her bathrobe. Besides the computer, she didn't see any other props.
With a puzzled look, Kirigiri Shimizu handed her a piece of A4 paper with a handsome young man's face drawn on it.
"Tonight, we need to search through the database to find all relevant information about this person."
"Ah, looking for information?!" Komachi looked puzzled, realizing that staying up late was not quite what she had imagined.
"Is there a problem?" Kirigiri Shimizu raised her head, her gaze cold and piercing.
"N-no, nothing." Komachi shivered, suppressing the urge to cry out: "The new job makes me feel happy."
