I puffed out my cheeks, staring at the dinosaur water bottle filled with green juice.

Amy said with a smile, her cheeks full of complaints reaching their limit.

“Do you hate it that much?”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

She was asking something so obvious.

I thought I could drink a lot of cola after training.

I thought that if I passed the exam, I would be able to drink cola every day.

But that wasn’t it.

Amy still tried to make me drink green juice.

“It’s good for your health.”

Amy’s long arm held out a dinosaur water bottle.

The dinosaur with its big mouth pointed at me looked so scary.

I picked up the dinosaur water bottle with a sad face.

Tsk tsk – My face is completely wrinkled as I sip the green juice through a straw.

Amy added honey to it, so it tasted sweet, but it didn’t get rid of the distinctive grassy smell.

“You’re eating well.”

Of course you have to eat well.

Because I know she prepared hard.

Amy gently patted my head as I was crying.

I looked around while drinking green juice.

The office I will be visiting under the pretext of going to work starting today.

There was a door with the Team Harmonize logo drawn in large letters, and a small nameplate next to it.

It seemed bigger than the other teams’ offices, and it was clear that Amy had her hand in it.

Nothing has changed in what I do.

They didn’t give Shine and me any work.

Just coming here and watching Lane, Victor, and Amy work and play became my daily routine.

I opened up a large sketchbook.

Amy, Victor, and Lane were all working hard on something.

Since Shine was also studying, I felt like I should do something too.

I absentmindedly drew a picture.

“Amy.”

“Huh?”

“We don’t work?”

“Work?”

“Yes. Like going on a mission somewhere.”

“There’s not always work to do.”

“Is that so?”

“If there is a lab that is conducting illegal experiments, we need to check if it is true, right?”

“Yes.”

“If they were really doing that, they’d try to hide all the evidence. We’re going to start by finding it.”

“So that’s what Amy does?”

“No. Finding evidence is the job of another team.”

“So what do we mainly do?”

“Raids and takeovers. And support?”

I couldn’t tell exactly what he was doing just by talking.

But, I got the general feeling.

The team moved in small groups, and there were three team leaders gathered in one place.

The power would be beyond imagination.

It was clear that he would be entrusted with something very important.

I shook my legs on the chair, unable to hide my pounding heart.

“Jeff.”

“Huh?”

“It’s gym time.”

At that moment, Shine, who was sitting next to me, shook my arm and spoke.

Is it that time already?

I got up from my seat and checked the large clock on the wall.

“Rain!”

At my call, Rain, who had been burying his head in his papers, suddenly sat up and raised his head.

When I met Rain’s gaze, she checked the clock on the wall and jumped down from her chair like me.

“Ugh~”

Rain yawns and stretches, as if trying to loosen up his stiff body.

Shine, Rain, and I took our positions towards the center of the office.

“Amy, play a song.”

“Okay.”

Amy nodded at my request.

She moved the mouse and music started playing right away.

A familiar accompaniment flows out.

Until last week, I did gymnastics without singing, but because the beat was off every day, I had no choice but to turn on the song and do gymnastics.

Shine Lane and I started doing the exercises, taking poses.

Place your hands on your waist and shake your hips.

“Here we go again.”

Victor put his earphones in his ears, frowning as if he didn’t want to listen to gymnastics music.

Rain looked at Victor like that and stuck out his small tongue.

“Merong.”

Victor didn’t even react.

It expresses the desire to grow taller by stretching out one’s arms and legs.

If you put your heart into every gesture, you will definitely grow taller.

This is what a YouTuber who filmed a gymnastics video said.

What he said was true.

Shine and I were growing taller every day.

If it’s rain…

I glanced over and looked at Lane, who was diligently doing gymnastics.

It was still bigger than before though.

The song builds to a climax.

This time, you need to prepare a fairly difficult pose.

The body that was spinning around and around floats into the air.

Whoosh, the body is spinning.

Maintain your stance in the air and land on the ground.

All three of them have familiar gestures and even a sense of leisure.

I smiled slightly and took the final pose.

Hands stretched high into the sky and long, stretched legs.

The finger was pointing towards the sky, as if shouting that it wanted to grow tall towards the sky.

“The end!”

Today’s gymnastics is over.

“Good job~”

Amy clapped her hands and praised us.

At first, Rain was shy, but now he seemed to have gotten used to it and was indifferent to her compliments.

Rather, it seems like he is proud of it.

“Shall I prepare milk?”

“Yes!”

At my answer, Amy got up from her seat and headed to the refrigerator.

There was even a huge refrigerator in the office.

There is no separate bathhouse.

Can this place really be considered an office?

My and Shine’s toys and dolls scattered everywhere.

And even the comic books on the corner of Lane’s desk.

There was also exercise equipment in the corner of the room that seemed to be Victor’s style.

I headed to the large table to drink the milk Amy had prepared for me.

On the table, small sweets were waiting for me, nicely wrapped.

Look at that delicious sight.

They are sweet angels dancing in your mouth.

But I couldn’t eat it.

Because I already ate the snacks that were allowed today.

I held the milk cup in my hand, just sipping my drink.

“Jeff.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, Shine, who had been quiet, handed me a small snack.

This was the snack I received today.

“This is…!”

“Jeff eats it.”

“Shine!”

Unlike me, who ate the snack as soon as I received it, Shine didn’t seem to eat the snack.

The snack that was pushed under the table to avoid Amy’s eyes left a great impression on me.

I quickly reached out and grabbed the cookie.

“Ah…”

But, as expected, it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to steal Shine’s snack.

The candy in my hand rustled and showed off its presence.

“It’s okay. I hope you eat it.”

“But…”

“If Jeff likes it, I like it too.”

Shine smiled and asked me to eat the cookie.

A bright light seemed to appear behind her.

It was so dazzling.

But I still couldn’t eat it alone.

I carefully opened the package of cookies, keeping an eye on Amy.

Amy, who had already returned to her seat, immediately began to focus on her work.

“Shine. Me too. If you like it, I like it too.”

therefore.

I offered Shine a cookie.

“I want to eat shine too.”

Shine also liked sweets.

There is probably no one who doesn’t like sweet sugar.

Maybe. Really.

Even Victor enjoyed eating candy.

Shine’s gaze wavers greatly at the snack I offer her again.

She swallowed and shook her head.

Even if you do that, you can’t hide it.

I shoved the candy into Shine’s mouth.

“Oh my.”

Shine refused at first.

But the sight of the small crumbles of candy around my mouth made me open my mouth.

Taking advantage of the gap, he quickly put the snack in his mouth, but when he had half of it in his mouth, Shine shut his mouth tightly.

yes-

A half-cut piece of candy was left in my hand.

“Jeff eats the rest.”

I hesitated for a moment at Shine’s words.

At my appearance like that, Shine smiled slightly and spoke again.

“I ate it too. I wish Jeff ate it too.”

It was also rude to continue to refuse when the other person kept offering to give to you.

I nodded and quickly put the cookie in my mouth.

Since no one was watching, Rain ate all the snacks prepared on the table.

I ate ten Cocodas with a glass of milk.

She had a very satisfied smile on her face.

Now that gym class was over, it was nap time.

I yawned and headed towards the small bed in the corner of the office.

Shine and Rain also rubbed their eyes sleepily and followed me to the bed.

The three of them crawled into bed with familiar gestures.

It was the moment when I covered myself with the blanket and placed my head on the fluffy pillow.

Victor called Rain.

“Rain!”

“Huh?”

Rain, who had been lying down, woke up with a start.

“Support.”

At Victor’s words, Lane, who had been waking up from her bed, jumped up and started running.

Shine and I also stood up from our seats.

Support? Is this finally the start of your first mission?

I was sleepy because it was time for a nap, but I couldn’t stand it.

“Jeff. Shine.”

The moment I was about to run after Lane and Victor, I stopped moving at the sound of Amy’s voice.

“Huh?”

“You’re not going.”

“Huh?”

“Only Victor and Rain are going.”

“Why?”

“Because it only takes two people.”

“Why?”

Victor passed me as I stopped.

He gave me a small pat on the head and left the office.

Rain also left the office, carrying his chick bag.

“I’ll be back!”

Shine and I could only look at their backs.

“I want to go too!”

“Me too.”

Shine nodded as if agreeing with my thoughts.

But Amy shook her head.

“No.”

I looked back and forth between Amy and the office door.

After turning my head like that for a while and thinking, I finally let out a big sigh and headed to the bed.

“I guess it’s not our turn.”

“Yeah.”

Still, I could endure it.

Judging from the fact that Amy didn’t go either, it didn’t seem like a big deal.

I covered myself with the blanket as if to hide my cheeks full of complaints.

Shine came up behind me and hugged my shoulders.

“Shine is uncomfortable.”

“It’s cold.”

“It’s not cold. It’s hot.”

“I’m cold, Jeff. Do you want me to shiver?”

“That’s not it…”

I turned around and hugged Shine.

Is it really that cold?

The warmth emanating from Shine was so warm.

Shine, lying across from me, had a satisfied smile on her face.

Somehow, I felt cheated.

“I want to go out too.”

I muttered softly in regret.

Shine answered, caressing my cheek.

“Jeff. It’s dangerous out there.”

“I know. But I want to help Amy. Not Shine?”

A brief silence follows.

Immediately after that, Shine slowly opened her mouth and answered.

“I’ll help you.”

Shine spoke softly and rested her forehead against mine.

Shine’s breath flowed over her face.

“Because Jeff wants to do it.”

“Yeah. Let’s both help each other.”

At my words, Shine smiled slightly and closed her eyes.

I also closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

Moderate exercise and a glass of milk could quickly put me to sleep.
