"Working at a burger restaurant near the checkpoint is not bad" Kyzo murmured as he hands over the order to the next customer.
After giving all of the personal assets provided by his father before leaving,Kyzo started residing as a tenant in a house nearby and now to fulfil his daily needs as well as to pay the month to month lease he started looking for some kind of work to cover the expenses.
Searching and wandering place to place after facing rejections from several of the local operators he came across the checkpoint area where he stopped by the only burger restaurant operating in the respective area for a break.
As soon as he sits down at a nearby wooden bench shivers run down his spine as he notices a man staring at him with a smirk on his face while he adjusts the bridge of his specs
"It's the same feeling when Mr.Wooler is around" Kyzo thought as he sweats and walks to the restroom
Upon reaching the restroom Kyzo opens the tap to wash his face and stares in the mirror only to find himself shaking in fear as the man from before was visible standing at the entrance yet again with the same smirk while he adjusts the bridge of his specs.
'Thump....Thump.....Thump.....Thump'
He walks slowly near Kyzo with a grin on his face and places both of his hands on both of Kyzo's shoulder.
"Hel..lo....sir...how...can...I..he..lp..you?"Kyzo asked as his voice quavers
"I know you are looking for a work and this place will surely be the best for you,Do you love burgers? I can tell you do so from tommorow you are coming to work we can do the formalities later" he replied as he tightens the grip on Kyzo's shoulder
Kyzo accepted the offer both due to the need of work and the mr.wooler vibes over the place.
(I would have done the same 'sweats')
Later he found out that the tall giant man with short brownish hairs was actually the manager of the place.
(Too late)
But Kyzo turned a little happy working there as being near the checkpoint the restaurant had many customers every day and so his pay was decent.
Coming to the present,After finishing his shift Kyzo headed towards Yuzuki's household and left a burger package on her door with "SORRY" text written in bold font at the same.
"You have been doing this for several days for her but not once you asked me one,
Do I not deserve a burger?" Haruto shouts from a near distance with a laugh
Kyzo looks at Haruto with a smile.
"Let's walk home?" Haruto asked
"Sure thing" Kyzo Replied
Walking home together Haruto asked Kyzo about his father only if he was comfortable to share the things.
Kyzo walked silently and after a while he started to share the past
"We were a happy family....I remember when I was around eight father would carry me and Yuma on his back whenever he used to be home,he would buy us whatever we demanded like we were little prince and princess,I don't remember much of his work but he was associated with some law firm,mother was suffering from lung cancer and when i was eleven years old it developed to a stage four so we never saw much of mother as compared to father and after few months something strange happened It was early morning I heard Yuma crying and so I got up to check the things when I reached the door I saw father and mother fighting, father kept repeating the same words saying it's the only way,it's the only way but mother kept crying and shouting and kept saying him that he is a liar and father left where as mother fainted on the floor,I called the ambulance in a hurry and they arrived after a while and after that I never saw mother and father again the last thing I saw was some of my father assets which he delivered to me through a mail carrier so that I can survive"
"Did you ever tried to contact again" Haruto asked
"No,there's no use on clinging to someone when they don't want you to do so.." Kyzo replied
At the very moment Haruto got a text message from Yuzuki
Say Kyzo to come meet me tommorow morning if he wants me to forgive him.
-----Yuzuki Yu----
"Guess you got your chance" Haruto laughs as he turns back to head towards his home after dropping Kyzo at his household.
Next morning Kyzo rushed towards Yuzuki home while eating his breakfast in the midway.Upon reaching Yuzuki greets him with not so much of a friendly reaction.
"Your behaviour did really made me upset but I will forgive you on one condition" Yuzuki said
"What's the condition" Kyzo asked
Yuzuki hands Kyzo the ticket for comedy hunt where people can perform stand up comedy if they have a ticket
"You need to perform here and if you do I will forgive you" Yuzuki said
"But.....I don't know how to do comedy.. probably they will kick me if I perform" Kyzo replied
"Oh so you don't need my forgiveness" Yuzuki said
"Fine,I will perform" Kyzo replied
The same day in evening Kyzo reached the place where comedy hunt show was to be hosted and was standing at the backstage as the next participant.
"Seriously number two why did she have to buy me a number two ticket hmpf!"Kyzo murmured
"Let's have a warm welcome with a big round of applause for our number two participant Kyzo Ahane" Host on mic
Kyzo walked toward the stage and checked the mic.
"Mic test,Mic test,It's working last ray of hope just disappeared." Kyzo said
"Are you here to hear some jokes" Kyzo asked the audience
"Obviously,What a dumb,Why did u participated" Several replied from audience
"Jeez,don't be so harsh" Kyzo murmured
"Well so I will begin,One day due to a mistake I walked into a lady's washroom and guess what happened...... nothing happened I was as disappointed as you all right now"
"Every night I thought there are ghosts crawling around in my room so I was not able to sleep for days one day I decided to check and it was just my brother checking his phone...phew...wait I don't have a brother.."Kyzo screams while stretching his hands upward
"You all are aware of our famous maths teacher Mr.Wooler and you know how scary he is but nowadays he is scared of me..Is he sitting at the back...oops he really is..time to run"
Audience clapped with a mixed reaction of both satisfied and unsatisfied with Kyzo as he ran a floor above in the waiting area for results.
"Waiting area surely has a nice big outer view" Kyzo said to himself
Kyzo checked his phone with a little surprised reaction on his face as a incoming video call arrived from haruto
"It's the first time he ever did a video call to me anyways I will complain first about Yuzuki,who forces you to perform and not even bother to come and give it a watch sad..sad..." Kyzo murmured
Kyzo picked the call from haruto and saw haruto scared he kept on requesting for help from Kyzo "please come and help me" and kept staring at some other direction,Kyzo kept asking haruto about his whereabouts but haruto would not answer that and just ask for help,in a while Kyzo noticed that the place where comedy hunt show was being held was visible in haruto's video call and in few seconds Haruto shouted 202 and his call was disconnected.
Kyzo ran as fast as he could towards the building he estimated haruto to be in and upon reaching he climbed the stairs and reached the room number 202,As soon as Kyzo opened the door he felt heavily dizzy and images of the man fully covered in black that he spotted earlier at the shibozawa foods appeared for fraction of seconds and after that he recovered from the dizziness and found Haruto sitting in the corner crying with his head down on his arms
Kyzo approached Haruto by asking if he was fine and as he took the next step forward he was stabbed with a knife from the back.
Kyzo turned around and found Ryuki standing and he turned back again and found Haruto smiling with tears still flowing down his eyes.
