Well, it seems Shizuka Futari is asking Sasaki-san the impossible: Let her join the Bureau of Paranormal Prevention because her old organization is now hunting her.
It’s a surprising development from the rogue psychic that Shizuka Futari’s former employers want her dead for betraying them.
And while Sasaki-san tries to negotiate with his boss Akutsu for protection, he warns Shizuka that the office has installed many surveillance cameras to monitor their employees in case someone betray them.
In Sasaki-san’s case, he doesn’t want the Bureau to know about a sage from a fantasy world reincarnated as a Java sparrow named Peeps. Hell, he didn’t want the Bureau to know about the existence of the fantasy world at all.
Unfortunately, a certain Hoshizaki overheard Sasaki’s conversation with Shizuka Futari and demanded an explanation. She’s understandably concerned about privacy.
With that said, the boy with pyrokinesis will be detained by the Bureau to control his psychic powers.
And speaking of the office, the chief assured them that he would not release any footage of his agents to the public. And by the way, Akutsu likes cute guys because he’s gay.
Anyway, this is Sasaki-san, who gives a jar of pickled plums to Chief Akutsu.
Oh yeah, those pickled plums came from Shizuka Futari and she said they were the real deal. Basically, she made them carefully.
Regardless, Akutsu took a bite of the pickled plum as he fully ascended. Well, the chief was happy to eat some plums from a fraudulent psychic.
One more thing, Sasaki-san wanted to try that pickled plum himself, but he had difficulty digesting sour food.
Meanwhile, here is Peeps or Piercarlo where the sage bird is talking to Shizuka Futari. Why, because the psychic suspects that Sasaki has a talking bird companion.
Speaking of Shizuka Futari, she agrees to help Peeps give the sage some items to sell to the fantasy world in exchange for protection and a place to stay.
Oh by the way, I’m really surprised that despite being a psychic who can knock people out with just a touch, Shizuka is not only filthy rich but also rumored to be over 100 years old year old.
Well then, it’s time for Chief Akutsu to interview Shizuka Futari to see if she can really be trusted.
Of course, she needs to be careful when dealing with the Department of Paranormal Countermeasures because they may be good people but have plans for world domination.
One last thing, this is Hoshizaki, where she wanted to give something special to Sasaki-san. Then again, going to an izakaya restaurant when Hoshizaki was still a high school student might have raised many eyebrows.
Anyway, Hoshizaki brought some tamagoyaki made from Shizuka Futari’s pickled plums to Sasaki-san, because she was worried about her colleague having problems eating sour foods so she made them on this occasion. Oh my, Sasaki is quite lucky today!
However, Shizuka Futari won the first bite instead of Sasaki. What a bold woman, this is for a salaryman!
So, it seems Shizuka joined the office thanks to Sasaki’s negotiation skills, although he has to be careful about revealing secrets regarding Peeps and the existence of parallel worlds. Anyway. See you next time!
