Characters: Arakida Sosei, Tsuduki Makoto, Sugano Natsuki, & Hattori You.

 

Title: Please have a tasty steamed meat bun

 

-Park-

 

Arakida: (Telling me to go out and buy him a steamed meat bun……)

(Natsuki, that bastard, he better not be mistaking me for some sort of errand boy or anything……)

(It’s not as if I mind since it’s on the way, but…… Hm?)

 

Makoto: ……

 

Arakida: (Tsuduki-sensei!?)

(His face looks pale. What exactly happened……)

Excuse me, but is everything okay? You’re slumping over……

 

Makoto: …… Yes. Wait, no, it’s no big deal. 

 

Arakida: But…… 

 

[Grumble Grumble]

 

Arakida: Oh….. 

(Is he hungry or something……?)

 

Makoto: …… My apologies. I have a new deadline approaching so I came out to buy some food, but……

Perhaps it was due to the consecutive all-nighters that I’m at my limit just reaching this point…… 

 

Arakida: I-In that case…… Please have this steamed meat bun.

 

Makoto: But……

 

Arakida: It’s fine. I’d like for you to eat it.

 

Makoto: …… Honestly, you’ve saved me. I didn’t think that I would make it to the shops.

 

Arakida: Please eat this and then get a good rest afterwards.

 

Makoto: You have my thanks. I will return the favor someday.

 

Arakida: That is, all the best on your deadlines. I’m…… looking forward to your next work.

 

Makoto: Thank you. I’ll send over a copy to the First Division once it’s done.

Now, if you’ll excuse me……

 

Arakida: ……

(That was awesome…… I got to talk heaps with Tsuduki-sensei……)

 

-CIU First Division-

 

Sugano: Huh!? Where’s my steamed meat bun, Sosei-san?

 

Arakida: …… It’s gone. If you want one then go out and get it yourself.

 

Sugano: What’s with that phrasing? It almost sounds like it was there a moment ago……

Well, whatever, I’m taking the cream-filled roll!

 

Arakida: Hey, wait!

…… Jeez, I’ll let it slide…… 

 

Hattori: Goodness, what’s this? You’re being rather generous today, Sosei.

Did something good happen?

 

Arakida: No, it’s…… nothing, really. Nothing of the sort……

 

Hattori: Here you go. A mountain of paperwork for the Sosei in high spirits.

 

Arakida: ……!

 

Hattori: I expect those to be done by the end of today.

 

Arakida: ……

(Isn’t this load a lot more than usual……?)

(Well, what can you do. I guess I’ll get to it then……)

 

As he softly stowed away that small, brief winter’s moment inside his heart…

The hard-faced detective returned to his work with a smile on his face.

Starting today, the “Story of Heroes 2nd Round” is scheduled to go on sale at the Winter Comic Festival.

Thus, we will be bringing you mini-talks to do with the new merchandise’s illustrations ♪

Tomorrow you’ll be able to see the other side of those two……!?
