" Yes, they bullied me in school. "
" We apologize for hearing that. We wanted to inform you that your school will be closed tomorrow on account of their deaths. "
" Thank you for informing me. "
I hung up and put my phone in my pocket. I leaned against the wall conflicted on how to feel.
' I can't think about this now. I'm at work. '
I walked back to the counter and realized a man was standing there waiting for me to return to the cashier.
" Sorry I wasn't here to serve you. What would you like? "
" It's quite alright. I'll have a slice of the strawberry cream cake. "
" Alright, I'll get it for you. "
I grabbed a plate and a knife then made my way to the display that sat on top of the counter. As I cut a slice of cake I took in the man's appearance. He was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with light blue jeans. He had black shoes on and his skin was pale. His black eyes followed my every movement and I noticed he had bags under his eyes. His black hair just hung around his face.
I set the plate on the counter.
" 214.22 yen, please. "
" Here. "
He handed me the money and I put it in the cash register.
" Have a nice day sir. "
He walked to one of the tables and sat in a weird position. I didn't question it as much as I probably should have. I continued to clean the counter and serve other people. The man never left the bakery. He continued to sit at the table and sometimes I would catch him starring at me. I had one hour left before I closed. I started locking everything up before I heard the little bell at the counter ring. I looked at the counter and saw the man standing there waiting for me. I walked to the counter and smiled.
" Is there something I can do for you? "
" I would like to buy a whole cake from you. "
" Okay. I can do that. What type? "
" Vanilla with strawberries and cream. "
" Got it. A fresh cake will be ready in 2 minutes. "
" Thank you. "
I walked to the oven and grabbed the freshly baked cake. I set it on the counter and went to the back to grab a box. When I found one I walked back to the counter.
" Who makes the baked goods? "
" I do. "
" You have my compliments then. They are delicious. "
" Thanks, I appreciate it. Things have been a little complicated lately so I'm glad to hear the baked goods still taste wonderful. "
" What troubles are you having? "
" Nothing I should trouble a stranger with. "
" Ryuzaki. "
" Excuse me? "
" My name is Ryuzaki. There we aren't strangers anymore. "
" Okay. Just a lot of murders have been happening. I got a call a while ago that two of my classmates have died today. Both from heart attacks. "
" That is suspicious. Especially with the worlds, criminals dying of heart attacks. "
" My theory is that someone is behind it. "
" What person would have that sort of power though? "
" I don't know, but it's too organized. Someone somehow is behind it because it's too..."
" Planned? "
" Exactly. "
" You're a smart one. Here this is my number. If you have any other possible theories let me know. "
" Okay. "
He nodded and set some money on the counter but I pushed it back towards him.
" It's on the house. "
He nodded his head before leaving the bakery.
" Wait! "
" Yes? "
He turned towards me and I took in his stance. His stance was a little crooked.
" Y/n is my name. "
" It was very nice to meet you Y/n. "
He walked out of the door and I started cleaning up. It was quitting time and I packed up the bakery. I walked outside and saw Light standing there waiting for me.
" How was work? "
" Fine. Just the usual. "
" Ready to go home? "
" You have no idea. "
