Year of 2018,
In Japan,
Chifuyu's pet shop,
Afternoon...

Second Person's POV

"Kazutora-kun, can you put this box there? I need to sort some documents."

"Sure, Chifuyu-kun. Hang on a second. I will get it now."

Kazutora compliantly agreed to help, wanting to lessen Chifuyu's burden. Thanked to this generous man, he had a place to work at in order to make a living. Life after being released from prison would be tough for him if it weren't for Chifuyu offering the job.

Lifting up the said box filled with the stock of pet toys, Kazutora walked toward the pet toys section to put the new stock on the designated shelves. He arranged the goods in order neatly. He must make sure the pet shop remain tidy for positive impression to the customers coming into the shop.

Just when the thought crossed his mind, the bell above the entrance door suddenly rang. The ringing signified that a customer had walked into the shop. Hearing this, Kazutora shifted his attention to the front door. He erected up from his squatting position and left the pet toys section to check on the customer.

"Welcome, Miss. How can I help you today?"

"Oh, um... I'm actually looking for a certain cat food. I wonder if you sell this one brand."

"Can I have the name of the brand?"

"Fully-Feline. I have visited many pet shops but none of them sell this brand."

"Then you are sure lucky to visit our shop. We sell this brand. Just turn to that hallway and you will find the pet food aisle."

"Great! Thanks for the help."

"You are welcome. Glad to be of your assistance, Miss."

Kazutora smiled softly to himself as he listened to the conversation. Looked like he was unneeded to deal with the customer. After all, he was busy sorting the goods. Chifuyu could handle it on his own. He went back to organizing the pet toys.

"Yosh, done." Few moments flew by, the man with ponytail-styled hair dusted his palms in contentment after finishing his task. Kazutora lifted up the box to put it in the back of the shop. The box could be recycled later.

"Gotta put this at the back.." Kazutora murmured under his breath as a reminder for his next quest. He was lost in his own thoughts while heading to his destination.

When he hit a bizarre wall in front of him, Kazutora snapped back to the real world. A soft yelp caught his attention. He darted his eyes to the figure. He was startled after realizing he ran into the customer.

"My apology, Miss! Are you alright?"

Kazutora immediately apologized, not wanting to upset the customer. Who knew what kind of tantrum she would throw. Customers were quite unreadable and unpredictable sometime. They got overwhelmed over the most trivial matter.
