"Well, what a coincidence." A certain boss greeted Ryuto with a pretentious tone.

But Ryuto wasn't buying it.

"It's definitely not a coincidence, and it's definitely not possible. It's obvious that it was intentional. Are you stalking me?"

"Why would I do that? How could I do something so creepy?" The boss put on a rather innocent look.

Damn, this guy really has thick skin. Although I think I have a pretty thick skin myself, being able to accept being called Zhuazhua, it's still nothing compared to him. As the saying goes, "old habits die hard."

"...Even if you put on an innocent face and say that, I can't believe you. After all, you have no credibility left."

"Please believe me, I'm being serious. Besides, I have no reason to stalk you."

"..."

Seeing Ryuto's silence, the boss spoke again.

"You probably can't guess, but I have a better idea."

The boss revealed a smug smile once again.

Although Ryuto didn't know what the idea was, what was there to be smug about? It seems like this guy is beyond help.

"Well, I really can't guess. Although I know it won't be a good idea, I'll still ask, what is the idea?"

"Hmph, listen carefully. It's actually quite simple. Just send a notice to all the shops here."

"A notice?"

"Yes, just like a missing person poster. If anyone sees the person in the photo come to this shop, they must contact me immediately. How about that? It's simple, right?"

After hearing the answer, Ryuto finally understood what the waitstaff's eye contact meant when he entered the shop earlier. He realized that it was the look of discovering the target.

Damn... This is absurd.

"Hey, even if that's the case, why would others listen to you?"

"Why are you asking that? Because I'm the boss, of course. It's only natural for employees to listen to their boss, right?"

"Even here? Fuck, how many shops are you the boss of?"

Although Ryuto tried to find some rationality in this guy, he quickly realized that it was foolish behavior. Ryuto now clearly understood this point.

"If you ask me that, I'm not really sure. After all, there are too many to count, and the number keeps increasing. Instead of bothering with counting them all the time, it's better not to care too much about it."

This really is a clever solution.

"..."

Although Ryuto exclaimed inwardly, he couldn't stop his inner scream.

Ah, this guy is terrifying. I didn't expect that rich lunatics could be this scary. Is this what they call "the violence of money"?

"Aren't you just abusing your authority as a boss?"

"No, I think I'm using it quite normally. Same goes for this notice. And of course, there will be a reward for finding the shop."

The boss said innocently.

Labor will be rewarded. This guy has at least followed that principle. Besides, whether it's the laborer or the boss, both parties are voluntary. From this perspective, there's really nothing to say.

"This isn't a notice, it's basically a wanted poster. I don't think I have any grudges with you. Why are you biting onto me and not letting go?"

Ryuto finally couldn't hold back and said what he had been wanting to say.

In response, the boss simply waved his hand repeatedly.

"No, of course there's no grudge, and it's impossible to have one. If you want to know why...well, it's because you're interesting, after all. Instead of spending time making money, it's more fun to observe you during that time."

Hey, hey, is this guy really normal? He must be so rich and bored that he can entertain himself by passing time. Speaking of this shamelessly bourgeois declaration, it's really detestable.
