"You're fired."
These very words came out of Shizuo's employer. Even as the strongest man in Ikebukuro, those words hit him the hard.
"What?"
Shizuo immediately stood up from his chair.
"I had no choice. You roughed up someone bad. He filed a law suit against me, unless I fire you, my company's going down."
Shizuo wanted to argue, he wanted go into a rampage, but he simply clenched his fists, holding in his anger.
"I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble. I'll get going now."
Shizuo bowed deeply, expressing his sincerity.
He exited the office. Shizuo Heiwajima, was now unemployed. He has to find a new job. He must. But how?
"You're looking for a job?"
"Yes."
Shinra tilts his head. He tilts it further, and further, until he falls over.
"If you want me to give you a job...nah you're not smart enough."
Shinra waves his thought away. He goes back to thinking. After a series of 'you're not smart enoughs' later, Shizuo had enough.
"Hey, are you thinking seriously or not!?" He roars.
"Calm down! I'm thinking! Alright?"
Shizuo pounds the table in front of him, causing it to break under his touch.
"You're under a time crunch, got it? Now get thinking."
Shinra's face goes pale. He mumbles, looking at the broken coffee table. Faintly, he hears footsteps outside. Shinra rushes to the door and opens it, revealing Celty.
"Celty!" Shinra hugs Celty, and Celty returns the hug, confused. "Shizuo's bullying me!"
Celty looks at Shizuo, the broken table, then hugs Shinra tighter.
"It's not what it looks like."
Shizuo explains the situation to Celty, and hopefully with the help of more brain cells, Shizuo can actually get an answer.
"Job, huh?" Celty tilts her head. "I don't know any jobs that suit you."
"The only he's got going for him is a set of good looks, but like that's going to get him anywhere." Shinra adds nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.
Once Shinra finishes his sentence, Celty looks at him, and uses her fist to hit her open palm.
"I have an idea!"
Shizuo and Shinra both look at Celty expectantly, seeing what she could come up.
"What about a speed dating service?"
Shinra and Shizuo's mouths drop open.
"Like anyone would want to date this monster?" Shinra yells, angrily pointing at the broken table.
"Shinra, you're being a hypocrite." Celty types, taking off her helmet.
Shinra puts a hand to his chin. "Huh. Good point," But he quickly shakes his head. "Celty is different! She is elegant, she is graceful, she is beautiful...and you're...none of that."
Shizuo cracks his knuckles.
"I rest my case."
"Celty, will that really work? As much as I hate to agree with him, he's right. No one would want to date me."
