Three days later, in the office space of the Starlight Cafe.
"Is your mom okay?"
Looking at the figure of Yui sitting not far from him, Adam asked with a calm expression. Although he still looked lethargic, but he felt that the girl's appearance had improved. It seems that her mother has escaped a critical period.
"Thank you very much for your help, Boss!"
Yui looked down politely. The girl was truly grateful for Adam's kindness. After all, without the young man .. he had no idea what would happen to him and his mother.
"Not a big deal." Adam shook his head lightly. "How come you've come to work? Shouldn't you stay in the hospital and take care of your mother?"
"Mother ... He got out of the hospital and rested at home. He didn't want to waste much on hospitalization," Yui said with a bitter smile on her face.
"..."
Looking towards the surprised Adam, Yui hurriedly explained.
"Mom's condition looks better. He can eat and walk on his own. Well, although still a bit staggering.
I wanted to stay home, but he insisted that I didn't have to take care of it. So, I came to work."
Adam looked towards Yui. At first he was a bit doubtful. However it could only sigh when he knew that the girl was not lying. The young man also knew, what Mother Yui was thinking.
"Then, you can start working as usual."
"Annu ..."
"What's up, Yui?"
"May ... may I ask permission, Boss?"
"Izin for what?"
Adam tilted his head, feeling somewhat confused by Yui's sudden request.
"I ... It seems that from now on I will be late 30 minutes every weekday."
"En? Why?"
"I. .. I plan to drop out of school and start looking for a job.
Uh! Of course, I will not escape and still work at the Starlight Cafe in the afternoon until evening."
"You, you want to drop out of school?"
Hearing Adam's hesitation, Yui nodded lightly. Instead of wasting time on school, he worked to pay off the debt.
Although it was not a bad thought (because it was based on the desire to pay off the debt), for Adam, it was too excessive.
"You don't have to drop out of school."
"T–But ..."
"See from Cafe Starlight. Besides 50% taken to repay the debt, isn't the remaining 50% still enough for living expenses for you and your mother?
Yes ... Even if it has to be more frugal."
"..."
Looking at the doubtful Yui, Adam let out a long sigh.
"Even if you work 24 hours, you may not be able to pay off debt in 1 year. Worse, if you get too tired from work, you may get sick.
Of course, there are exceptions."
Saying the last sentence, Adam immediately looked at Yui's body.
It made Adam lightly.
"It seems you already know, and .. I'm sure you don't want to do that, right?"
"Of course I don't want to, boss! Also, even if I work, I will also keep the condition—"
"The human body has limits. Time is also very limited. If you are determined, I am sure you will fall within 6 months or less.
At that time, even if you don't want to, in the end you will meet a dead end and fall on that road.
I suggest one more time. Stay in school, and take part time here. Focus on your studies, as they can affect your future.
Debt problem, I don't think about it too much."
"..."
Seeing Yui rather stubbornly, Adam finally gave a dissatisfied peck.
"I'm saying this because I'm worried and feel sorry for you. If you insist .. just do it.
For 30 minutes slower, I don't care. However ...
If you meet a dead end and fall, don't ever meet me. I won't extend a hand then!"
Hearing Adam's stern remark, Yui's body trembled. The girl was a bit confused, but in the end did not say anything.
At that moment, Adam's voice came back.
"For now, don't come to work. I don't allow you to work under these conditions.
Go back and think about it first. Next Monday, you can go back to work."
After some time, Yui finally replied.
"I understand, Boss."
After saying that, Yui left the room.
Looking at the direction Yui left, Adam could only sigh deeply. Although he was a bit harsh, the young man also had a foundation.
Spend time working, caring for mom, and taking care of the house ...
That girl must really not stand it!
Although a bit rude, Adam only prevented the girl from getting lost. Despite living in poverty, she knows that Yui's life is still quite good. Also, the girl still had not seen the bad and cruel side of the world.
That's what makes him stubborn.
***
Her night.
After preparing the entire tool, including with talismans and various types of pills ... Adam departed from the apartment with a determined expression.
The goal is also clear ...
Go back to the 'new house', then challenge the evil spirits on the third floor!
Looking up at the gray sky, where the dark clouds had covered the stars, the young man muttered.
"Although it's likely still quite heavy. With full preparation ...
I have to make it this time!"
