thirty three

after the toman meeting, takemichi couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude to everyone as he was announced captain of the first division.

he walked his way up to hinata's place to call for naoto to shake hands. but he saw aiichiro standing infront of the door, hesitant to knock.

"aiichiro-san, why are you here?" he asked, waving his hand at her. she smiles and wave back before showing him a bag with a rather expensive brand name printed on it.

"i wanted to hand this to hinata before i go." she answered. he 'oh' ed her as he remembers that she was going to osaka to help her father out in his business.

she decided to take on his company as a manager and oh boy, how happy he was to hear that. but he frowned as he was reminded that his daughter's boyfriend was now deceased.

no matter how much he wanted her to take over his business, he still wanted his daughter to be happy.

takemichi knocked on the door and it swung open revealing the tachibana siblings standing there. hinata burst into happiness as she sees her friend and boyfriend.

aiichiro handed her the bag and they hugged. takemichi waited for the two to stop talking before he could go back into the future.

as he was about to shake hands with naoto, he looks at aiichiro.

"make sure you won't forget about us in twelve years." he told her, giving her a wide smile. he grabs onto naoto's hand and was immediately transfered back to his present.

"and i believe we should do a few surveys with the unsatisfied customers, manager hirose."

"and by surveys, you mean.."

the director nodded as he fix his glasses and returned back to his seat.

the meeting went on as aiichiro starts growing bored and draw her attention away from everyone else.

as it finally ends, she dismissed everyone. she walks her way to her office with her assistant following from behind.

the both of them enters the office and was greeted with the scent of lemons and lavenders that aiichiro puts around herself because she couldn't stand the strong scent of coffee that her assistant always drinks.

aiichiro grabs her blazer and wore it over her shoulders.

"go do the paperwork that i have placed on my desk over there." she demanded before turning her heels and open the glass door.

"where are you going, manager hirose?" the assistant ask, grabbing the cup of coffee from the mini coffee machine at the side of the office.

"don't worry about me, i just want to go for a walk. i'll buy you something." she responded, walking out of the office and to the elevator.

when she reaches the ground floor and exit the building, she immediately took out a cigar and burned the end. exhaling the first smoke, she groaned to herself.

"father isn't around and i have to take care of everything.." she complained before grabbing her phone to call her driver.

chifuyu stared down to the other buildings as the sun sets, ready for the dark night to come.

his phone buzzed, telling him that someone was calling. he answered it as soon as his caller id was aiichiro.

"chifuyu, im heading over to your building. i want to discuss about a few things." she said, to which he hummed and ended the call. he sighed, knowing what she wanted to say.
