"Hard-Boiled Mademoiselle", by yasu

Translated from FOOL'S MATE, 2000.06

The next day, shuji said something as it suddenly sprang to mind.
"Hey, kiyo, you paid for this in advance, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The people in the Q Set ran out on us without paying for their food."

ka-yu, hearing the conversation:
"Yeah, that's right. With my Steed, too. Let's track down whoever did this and cause some serious damage."

kiyo, who had nothing, stripped out of the sauna shorts given to him by you, and took off running.
"Geez, he thinks he can escape again."

shuji, as well, thought to pursue him, but Mr. K put a stop to it.
Mr. K slowly took out his mobile phone, and made a call.
"Home Delivery, please. One order of sweet-and-sour pork..." They waited a few minutes. Under the supervision of Mr. K, the sweet-and-sour pork was delivered. And, with the supplement of plenty of sweet vinegar, kiyo, too, came and had some. When it (the sweet-and-sour pork) was passed to kiyo, he smiled smoothly, and said "Thanks."

Seeing the happy-looking kiyo, "Oh, he's forgotten about the thing with the Q Set!"
"You've lost. The Steed, too, has some kind of insurance on it, doesn't it?"

The three of them, shuji, ka-yu and kiyo, shook hands on their agreement. However, there was one man there who had yet to give his consent. That person was me. I didn't have any particular reason, but I had yet to assent to anything.

"kiyo, you're on a diet, yeah?" Taken aback, kiyo once again equipped himself with the sauna shorts.
"Oh, sniff sniff (checking the scent inside) It's a quite refreshing floral scent!"

"What, really. Sniff sniff. It's true, there's something feminine lingering here."

With these words from you, the whole crew smelled the sauna shorts.
Thereupon, it was very clear...
All of the members felt that happiness spread through their entire body that can only be equated with traveling to Heaven...
