Chapter 7 : A short coffee break and a little chitchat

Heaven, Area 1, in a café

" Having a coffee break, huh?" Said, a man in his early thirties in a black suit and a light blue tie.

" Oh! Chief! Fancy to meet you here," Nabeshima in a casual dress greeted his boss. Yes, the new comer was his supervisor, the director of Unit 2, Hayashida.

" Unlike someone I know, I don't have time to have a coffee break, working to death now," the executive retorted with sarcasm, however, he was always kind to all girls, " Hi, Yuzuko-chan, long time no seen, Ne?" he smiled to her and sat beside her.

" Hey! I'm working hard too!" Nabeshima whined, " But, Thank to my talent, I'm capable to manage all my works," Sipping his Cappuccino, he snapped.

" You mean, thank to your crew," Hayashida countered back sharply.

" Someone is envious, someone is envious," Giving the other man a very fishy grin, the long-haired man song.

" Arrz, I just wonder who is the director of Unit 2," the busy manager grumbled in discontent, " I means, I have only one assistant but you…you have Yuzuko-chan, 3 boys and a girl,"

" Yes, if it's not because of them, our work won't be this easily," Yuzuko said merrily, " We owe them a lot,"

" Especially to Shindou and Tsutsumi," Hayashida added, he unhurriedly tasted his Espresso, " Those two are very gifted…very rare too,"

" Yes, I'm very lucky to have them in my team," the man in a casual dress accepted.

" Most of people completely lose their awareness and the control of the body when ghost possess them," the head in a blue tie stated.

Nabeshima smirked, " But not to my boys," he declared proudly, " Not only they don't lose their consciousness, they can take the body back whenever they want to,"

" So, it's not possession then, it's more like…" Taking a small sip of his Espresso, Hayashida tried to find the right word, "…Borrowing-Lending-Sharing?"

" Well, whatever it is, it works," Drinking his Cappuccino, Nabeshima leisurely sensed the rich aroma of fresh coffee, " Most of mediums get dizzy or nauseous after the ghost leave their body, but, not to them,"

" It'sa proof of their strength…both physical and mental strength," the sharp boss wrapped up.

" Umm, too bad that Hikaru-chan can't see the dead," Yuzuko spoke.

" That's why he needs Ichinomiya, isn't it?" Taking another sip of his coffee, Hayashida make a right guess, " To be his eyes and his ears,"

Drinking his Cappuccino, Nabeshima didn't reply, he only smiled in return.

" Too sad that Ichinomiya isn't strong as them," the brainy director pointed out, " If he is, your job will be much easier, three agents, three bodies,"

Smiling, the long-haired guy replied modestly, " Two bodies to lend is more than enough,"

" How're they doing anyway?" asked Hayashida.

" Well, they get along pretty well," Nabeshima reported, " I mean, Why not? Hikaru is glad that finally he can get his secret off his chest while Haku is more than content to meet someone at his age who understand and believe in him,"

" A perfect team, huh?" the man in a formal suit uttered quietly and sipped his Espresso.

" Haku-chan started seeing the dead since he was two," Yuzuko mentioned, " He didn't know who was a ghost and who wasn't, I think it must be really hard for him back then,"

"……….."

"………."

" However, in my view, I think Tsutsumi isn't more talented," Trying to get out from a sad topic, the president of Unit 2 changed the subject.

" Why? Because Hikaru-chan can't see the ghost but Ent-chan can?" Yuzuko guessed.

" I don't think so," Nabeshima strongly disagreed, " I think Hikaru possessesa stronger power,"

" Really? How so?" the young director wondered.

" As we all know, the dead belongs to this upper world, not that world," the relaxed man went on, " The dead and the living can't be together, no matter what. If they do, the dead will unconsciously take away the life force of the living causing him a sickness,"

" Soon that living will die," the smart Hayashida stated, " I know that, it's a universal truth," Taking another quick sip of his Espresso, he said remotely.

Placing his coffee cup on a small plate, Nabeshima said enthusiastically, " Not in this case, Hikaru lived with Sai nearly 3 years, yet, he's never been sick,"

" Never?" That caught the other man's interest, " Never?"

" Not even a slight cold," the happy-go-lucky man sniggered.

" Huh, that's very…interesting," the hard-working director admitted, " It means his spirits is even stronger than death,"

" If he has such a great power, how come he can't see the ghost...I mean, we're ghosts too but…you know what I mean," Yuzuko chatted clumsily.

" First of all, Yuzuko, we're not just A ghost," Nabeshima lectured his secretary, " As members of GSG, we're blessed with many power. Normal ghosts can't touch a thing, but we..we can create the wind,"

" You're saying that he only see the ghosts with strong power?" Yuzuko concluded.

" Nope, just like Chief just said his spirits is even stronger than death, it means, with this strength, he should be able to see every ghost, no matter how weak the ghosts are," the black-haired man corrected her.

" The question is why he can't see them," the 30-year-old man marked.

" I think it's some kind of emotional problem," the guy who always dressed as a bunny assumed.

" Emotional problem?" both listeners frowned.

" The only one he wants to see is Sai," Nabeshima pointed out, " If he doesn't want to see the others, then he can't,"

"………."

"……….."

" Sai, huh?" Looking at a clock on the wall, Hayashida suddenly rose, " Ah! I have to go now! I've a meeting!"

" See you later, Chief," Nabeshima lifted his cup.

" Don't work too hard, Chief," Yuzuko smiled.

" Bye, See you later," the punctual director waved them goodbye and exited the café.

"………."

"………"

" I wonder what they're doing right now?" Said Yuzuko.
