Crunch Time

Kazuki calculated their expenses and the money left in their bank account. They were quickly running out of money. "We're going broke." Kazuki grumbled. [Y/n] sat at the table with him, drinking tea, and watch him stress out about money while Rei and Miri played video games on the couch.

"We busted our bank account buying that stuff for daycare and her room." Kazuki said.

"Well, I thought her room would be a wonderful surprise." [Y/n] said, "You're the one who wanted to buy her designer clothes."

"Why are we going broke?" Rei asked.

"Because we're not working!" Kazuki yelled and sighed, "We'll have to cut back on our spending."

"Aw man." [Y/n] muttered.

"Why not buy cheaper beer?" Rei questioned.

"I already am!" Kazuki said, "You won't be able to buy new games at this rate." Rei glared at him, "No more fancy tea and wine." [Y/n] frowned, "No pudding for dessert, either." Miri's smile dropped. "That's how bleak this all is, people! We'll be ruined at this rate!"

Kazuki sighed again, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. Time to pull out the last resort."

"I'm not singing in night clubs again! Men are creepy..." [Y/n] said.

The last resort Kazuki was talking about was begging Kyutaro for work. "And so, Kyu-chan..." Kazuki said and bowed, "I'm begging you! Send some work our way! We'll do anything!"

[Y/n] continued to drink her iced coffee. "You two get in on this!" Kazuki said and grabbed [Y/n] and Rei's head, making them bow.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

"Don't touch my hair!" [Y/n] whined, hitting his hand.

"So, you're ready to get back in the game?" Kyutaro asked, making Kazuki let them go, and [Y/n] nodded as she fixed her hair. Kyutaro placed the binders on the counter. "Target background checks and location scouting jobs. You should start with small jobs to get back in the swing of things."

"All this?" Rei muttered.

"Great. We'll take everything! Gotta make up for all that time off! Right?"

"You have a week." Kyutaro said.

"Leave it to us, Kyu-chan!" Kazuki said, "C'mon, we're doing this." He grabbed Rei by the back of his collar.

Once they got home, they tried to figure out a way to divide all of the work up. "Okay, [Y/n] and I'll handle this background check. Rei, you do the scouting for this one." Kazuki said.

"Why can't I scout with Rei?" [Y/n] grumbled.

"Isn't this stuff your job?" Rei said.

"Shut up! Beggars can't be choosers! Let's just get it done and--" His phone began to ring, "It's from the daycare." They looked at the phone.

"What could it be?" Rei questioned. Kazuki answered the phone.

'Hello, this is Hanyu from Aozora Daycare.'

"Yes?"

'The truth is, Giraffe Class is going to have to stay home for the next few days...'

"What? Wh-What?!" Kazuki panicked, "Can I ask what you mean by that?!"

They were given a notice about a virus that has infected the class. Kazuki looked at it in disbelief.

"Miri-chan, your papas and mama are here to get you!" Anna said while walking Miri out.

"Papa, Mama!" Miri cheered and ran towards them.

"Miri-chan!" [Y/n] said with a smile, and she jumped in [Y/n]'s arms.
