Author's Notes: The long awaited Tatsumi OMAKE There is a conversion table at the end of the chapter… It took me forever to convert everything into (JPY) Yen, £ (GBP) and $ (USD). For those wishing to convert into other currencies, I recommend Reuter's Currency Converter (http/ www. reuters .co .uk/ currencies. Jhtml) Remove all the spaces.
Tatsumi sat in his office. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he was bored. He had even resorted to spinning round and round on his swivel chair. The novelty had long since worn off…
So he stared at his blank piece of paper and sighed.
Then something sparked in the back of his head… Tsuzuki's admirer was only going to give the man twelve gifts, the admirer had revealed that to Tatsumi yesterday. Tomorrow the last gift would be given to Tsuzuki. It would be the only one he'd be able to reject…
But how much had the admirer spent? Really… It had to have been quite a bit. Tatsumi picked up his pen, jotting down the gifts so far…
Right, there was that kitten, Nanashi… Well, that came to about ¥2,368… Almost a full day's food money for a shinigami… Tatsumi shook his head. He couldn't dream of someone starving to pay for a kitten… Even if it was for Tsuzuki…
Then there were the roses that they were still finding scattered around the place… So, there had been 1,000,000 roses divided by 50 multiplied by the price per average bouquet equalled… Tatsumi's eyes fell out of his head.
¥256,477,865.
He took a few moments to collect himself, trying to rationalise why any shinigami would spent that much on anything… Or rather, how they would collect that amount of money… Hell, the only time he'd seen numbers bigger was when he did the quarterly budget. Even then, he rarely awarded that much to any department…
Well… He'd make sure he asked where they'd got the money after…
So then, next was the games console, (¥29,595), the cake (a ridiculous ¥39,460), toiletries (¥9,865), the Kumagoro plushie (man, teddies were so expensive these days at ¥2,959), the CD player (¥39,460), the clothes (¥394,680 – how anyone could spend that much on clothes without feeling guilty, Tatsumi would never know…) and then the tickets to the ballet (¥39,460). The only free gifts had been the paperwork and the book…
He looked at the total of all these expensive gifts… He nearly had a coronary…
¥257,035,712.
No matter how special someone was, they certainly weren't worth that!
"Yo Tatsumi, what you doing?" Watari asked, dancing into Tatsumi's office with a silly grin. Tatsumi just motioned to the paper. Watari's face lit up into an evil grin.
"I know, it's a silly amount of money, isn't it? But we all know that Tsuzuki-san is worth every yen! But I'm worth twice that, aren't I?" Watari asked, shamelessly fluttering his eye lashes and giving that puppy dog look. Tatsumi groaned.
"But… but it's two hundred and fifty-seven million, thirty five thousand, seven hundred and twelve yen!" Tatsumi just let his head bang against the table.
"I heard his family died recently, and he went and broke into the house, getting the details to the family treasury and transferring it to his account here in Meifu. He's worth probably more than this entire department now…Lucky kid, huh?" Watari asked, winking at Tatsumi who was still in shock.
"I'll take that as a 'Yes Watari, you're so right!'" Watari chuckled. The secretary said nothing to either deny or confirm the blonde's statement.
"Er, Tatsumi-san?"
"TATSUMI!"
"TAAAAAAAAAAATSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIII!"
"We were all very worried about you Tatsumi-san!"
"Yes, I even made you cake look!"
"You should rest for a few days!"
"Why'd you pass out anyhow? Overwork?"
"Er, Tatsumi-san? ¥257,035,712-boy is coming. You wanna see him?"
Tatsumi just groaned and wished his wellwishers would just go away and let him contemplate how on earth a shinigami could be rich enough to practically buy Meifu.
Author's Note: Next chapter, you find out who the admirer is… heh heh heh… Preview:
Tsuzuki looked into green eyes and gulped, stepping backwards and bowing.
"A-arigatou!" He choked out. The eyes turned elsewhere.
"Where is Yuzuriha?"
See you in
