Chapter 114
When Ryosaku arrived at K City's government office, he took a deep breath at the entrance to calm his excitement.
(...At Y City's government office, I couldn't get any personal information on Mieko-chan. Of course. No matter how much we knew each other in the past, and no matter how close we were and how much we loved each other, to a third-party employee, I'm just a "stranger" to Mieko-chan...)
But Ryosaku had made up his mind, so he went to the person at the counter on the first floor to demand information about Mieko. He first told the young male employee his name, then bowed deeply and asked in a slow, polite tone for information about Mieko.
...But it was exactly the same as in Y City.
Not only that, the male employee, who considered Ryosaku to be a "suspicious person," looked at him with a cold, suspicious eye and unilaterally demanded not only Ryosaku's name, but his address, phone number, and occupation. He even went so far as to say he would make a copy of Ryosaku's driver's license.
This naturally made even the mild-mannered Ryosaku angry, and he simply said, "I understand... That's fine then," glared at the employee, let out a big sigh, left the hall, and returned to his car waiting in the parking lot.
Ryosaku closed the car door, closed his eyes for a moment... let out another big sigh, and reluctantly started the engine, when... someone tapped on the driver's side window.
Ryosaku turned his gaze to see... a kind, well-natured elderly female employee standing there, gazing at Ryosaku with a gentle smile.
