Perhaps because she was too exhausted, or perhaps because of malnutrition, Denjiko slept the entire way and showed no sign of waking.
Makima stood beside Su Tang and murmured thoughtfully, “She should wake soon.
I left a new Public Safety uniform for her in the car.
She should see it once she wakes up.”
At the mention of uniforms, Su Tang instinctively glanced at Makima.
He was still wearing Makima’s trench coat.
After the bumpy ride, the warmth and scent that had originally belonged to Makima had completely turned into his own.
He wanted to return it to her, but he could not go back to the clinic yet.
If he did not want to become some exhibitionist pervert, he could only keep wearing it for now.
But when he heard Makima mention a “new uniform,” his eyes lit up and he asked, “Do you have more of those Public Safety clothes?
Or any other new clothes?
I can pay for them.
Just deduct it from Power’s debt.”
Makima tilted her head and looked at Su Tang, then shook her head.
“Only Public Safety personnel are allowed to wear Public Safety uniforms.
Mr.
Su Tang, you haven’t joined Public Safety yet, so even I can’t make that decision.
But… why do you suddenly want to change clothes?
Is my trench coat uncomfortable?”
Can’t make that decision?
Didn’t you just leave a new uniform for Denjiko?
So she had already decided that Denjiko would agree to join Public Safety?
Though, to be fair, that probably was what would happen.
Su Tang glanced back into the car and noticed the faint outline of a figure moving slightly inside.
Turning back, he answered Makima’s earlier question.
“No, it’s not uncomfortable.
It’s just that wearing only a trench coat with nothing underneath feels a little strange…”
It really was strange.
The material of the trench coat was not as comfortable as a shirt, after all.
Once he moved, it rubbed against certain places and felt a little itchy.
A little painful, too.
“Mm…”
Makima nodded lightly, expressing understanding.
Then she smiled and said, “That was careless of me.
In that case, let’s head upstairs quickly.
I still have a shirt in my office that I changed out of yesterday.
It hasn’t been washed yet, though.
If you don’t mind, you can wear it for now.”
He did not exactly mind.
Although Su Tang liked cleanliness, he had not reached the point of being a germaphobe.
Seeing more and more Public Safety employees arriving for work and secretly glancing at him and Makima with expressions that clearly wanted to gossip but did not dare, Su Tang nodded directly.
Staying here would only make things more awkward.
“What about Denjiko?” Su Tang glanced at the car again.
“I’ve already notified Himeno.
She’ll handle the follow-up.”
Makima paused for a moment, as if noticing Su Tang’s concern, and smiled.
“Don’t worry.
Himeno is Aki’s senior.
She’s a very reliable agent.”
Hearing Aki’s name, Su Tang immediately thought of that male-mom-like figure.
If she was Aki Hayakawa’s senior, then there should be no problem.
Makima stood in front of the office window with her hands clasped behind her back, quietly looking outside.
The breeze gently stirred the bangs over her forehead.
Beneath her long, slender lashes, her golden eyes were calm and unruffled, as if she were thinking about something.
Hearing movement behind her, she turned around, and a smile returned to her face.
“How is it?
Does it fit?”
Su Tang felt the texture of the thin white shirt against his skin and nodded.
The fabric was very comfortable.
And although Makima had said it was an old shirt she had changed out of and had yet to wash, there was no unpleasant smell on it.
Instead, it carried a faint, indescribable fragrance, a little like the scent of body wash.
Most importantly, the shirt was a long one.
So when Su Tang wore it, it happened to cover his waist and abdomen just right.
All he needed to do was raise his pants slightly.
“Thank you,” Su Tang said sincerely.
For a doctor, a good reputation was very important.
After all, no one would ask a psychological pervert to treat their psychological illness, just like no one would ask a bald doctor to treat hair loss.
Makima sat back down in her office chair and smiled.
“There’s more good news.
Himeno just texted me.
That was truly a double blessing.
Su Tang pulled over a chair and sat across from Makima, feeling happy for Denjiko.
That child would have a source of income from now on.
And with such strong combat ability, her safety should not be a major issue.
For most other sixteen-year-olds, joining Public Safety at that age would certainly not be a good path.
But unless Denjiko never transformed again, or spent the rest of her life hiding deep in the mountains, Public Safety really was her best option.
Makima folded her hands on the desk and looked at Su Tang.
“In that case, shall we talk about Power now?”
“Of course.”
Su Tang’s expression turned serious.
The earlier conversation could be considered a chat between acquaintances, but now he was speaking as a creditor with the section chief of Public Safety Special Division 4.
He could not be as casual as before.
“Mm.”
Makima nodded and began, “After settlement, Power’s personal work error caused you losses totaling 5,234,000 yen, Mr.
Su Tang.
Public Safety will compensate half as usual, while the remaining 2,617,000 yen will be paid by Power personally.
Is that acceptable?”
“No problem,” Su Tang said with a nod.
“Good.
Based on Power’s unique value as a Fiend, she will need to work at your clinic for half a year to repay her debt.
But because she can only work there during her days off, the time will be doubled and changed to one year.
Is that acceptable?”
“That works.”
Su Tang agreed readily.
In truth, after meeting Reze, his need for Power was not as great anymore.
As poster girls, the two were simply incomparable.
Still, she was a unique labor force.
If he could use her, there was no reason not to.
And so, in just three short minutes, poor Power had effectively signed an indenture contract through Su Tang and Makima’s discussion.
Moreover, because Power was not human, she did not possess full human rights.
In theory, Su Tang could make her do whatever he wanted.
“A pleasure doing business with you.”
After Makima said those words, the serious aura around her instantly vanished.
She shifted into a lazy posture, propping her chin on her hand and tilting her head.
“As for the relevant techniques for handling Power… the horns on her head can become engorged with blood, she doesn’t like eating vegetables, and she’s very afraid of…”
Now they were getting to the essence of it.
Su Tang was just about to memorize everything carefully when he suddenly heard that unmistakably loud voice from the corridor outside the door.
“What?
This great me still has to go on patrol today?
Damn humans, always exploiting me!”
“Not good.
Power is here.”
Makima glanced at Su Tang and said with some difficulty, “If she learns what we were just discussing, it will make it harder for you to get along with her in the future.”
“So we can’t let her see you, or she might become suspicious.”
As she spoke, Makima seemed to come up with a brilliant idea.
She quickly pulled her chair back and said,
“Su Tang, hide under my desk for now.”
