Notes: Based off an idea that insectorhaga gave me about the manager having a bit of a crush on Ganjyu. For those of you who didn't watch the Bount arc, Ganjyu and Hanatarou ended up working at a convenience store in the real world for a while. Also, I named the manager "Shuji" which means "manager" if my translator is to be believed.
Dear Manager-san,
Ganjyu-san and I have great news to tell you! We wanted to tell you in person but we couldn't get time off our new jobs so we decided to write instead. Hopefully our friend got this to you safely (he's a little forgetful sometimes). Anyway, Ganjyu-san and I are "together". As in we're dating. Isn't that wonderful? You always told me to follow my heart and to take chances. Well, I'm really glad I took your advice because I'm very happy now with Ganjyu-san. Thank you so much! We'll try to visit if we can.
Sincerely,
Yamada Hanatarou
Shuji stared at the piece of paper in disbelief. He had given Hanatarou that advice, and he'd meant it too, but he'd never expected it to turn out the way it had. He felt worse than when he'd discovered his cute Ganjyu-chan looking at half-naked women. And now his one true love was in the arms of another! The world wasn't fair.
Ganjyu, in a fit of nostalgia, had decided to visit the convenience shop where he and Hanatarou had worked. He figured he could surprise his one-time boss and pick up some of the snacks that his Hana-chan liked as well. Hanatarou would be so happy with him for being thoughtful! Ganjyu smiled to himself as he thought of pleasing his friend and (he still blushed a little to think this) lover.
A new employee had started working at the store in their absence so Ganjyu decided to shop before visiting manager-san. While trying to decide between vanilla or chocolate flavor he heard a small squeak behind him. Looking around for a mouse he was surprised to see manager-san standing behind him. He was even more surprised when the man burst into tears and ran off into the back.
He blinked a few times before returning to his important choice. The man had always been a little weird anyway. It was more important not to upset his Hana-chan by picking out the wrong snack.
