[Lobotomy Corporation] I'm an Abnormality...

Lost the way again.. EP. 32

While I was squatting in the containment room, Louis suddenly stood up and moved towards the door.

There was a panel in the corner of the room, so I thought he was finally starting to work, but he just opened the door and walked out.

What? Is he not working? Where's he going?

[Employee Louis, instead of attachment work, instinct work...]

I could hear the manager, who had just arrived, saying something, but Louis left the room as if he didn't hear.

"Huh? Mister, where are you going?"

He walked out without even closing the containment room door, which was strange, so I followed him outside.

What is this? Why is he suddenly acting like this?

"Mister Louis?"

No matter how much I called, he didn't answer or even look back.

Can he really not hear me?

"Mister!"

Even when I shouted loudly, he didn't spare me a glance.

I figured if I got closer and waved my hand, he might snap out of it, so I hurried after him.

"Huff, huff..."

No, he's way too fast!

Maybe because he's taller than me, it's hard to keep up.

How can his running speed be the same as his walking speed?

I cursed my stubby legs and ran at full speed...

- Grab.

I finally managed to grab onto Louis's clothes.

"Huff, heh... I finally got you, huh?"

- Drag, drag...

... And I was dragged along.

No matter how much I tugged on his clothes, Louis just kept walking forward with a blank expression.

Something's weird. Is he possessed by a ghost or something?

He got caught up with that cult last time, and now what?

First, it's important to stop poor Louis...

- Jump, jump.

- Tap.

- Thud.

"Ouch!"

I waved my hands and jumped in front of him, but he just pushed me aside and kept walking.

... I feel wronged. Getting shoulder-bumped like that.

"Stop! Mister! Stop!"

He probably won't stop, but I have to at least say something...

"Ugh!"

- Thud.

I was diligently following him from behind when Louis suddenly stopped, and I tripped spectacularly.

They say if there's a big weight difference when you collide, you get thrown off, I guess it's true.

Maybe it's because I fell twice in a row, it's a bit sore.

Why did he suddenly stop... huh? Louis stopped?

I rubbed my sore bottom and looked up to see Louis standing still with a blank expression.

What? Well, at least he stopped.

But why did he suddenly open the containment room door and walk out? It's a mystery.

Plus, his face looks pained, hmm...

"Mister, you look unwell. Go rest somewhere."

- Nod, nod.

When I asked him worriedly, he nodded with a blank face and went off somewhere.

So he was sick.

Come to think of it, this company doesn't seem to have any medical facilities. I'm a little worried about Louis.

There's no one to take him. What if he collapses on the way?

- Tap.

"Oh?"

Looking closely, there was a small bag of candy where Louis had been standing.

That mister. He said he didn't have any candy, but he was hiding one.

- Nom.

I put the candy in my mouth and rolled it around, and a subtle grape scent spread.

I usually don't enjoy sweets much, but maybe because my body has changed, it's not bad at all.

- Crunch.

I bit into the half-melted candy, and a sweet grape flavor filled my mouth.

Ah, this is it. My stress is melting away.

Now I've eaten delicious candy and Louis's problem is solved, so I should go back to the containment room...

Wait a minute.

"Where am I?"

Looks like I'm lost again.

Such is life.
