"It's just a small cold." Shinichi Iwahashi told her.

However, looking at you, you don't look like you have a "little" cold at all. Okada Yukiko is worried about him and indispensably tells him to take care of his health.

After finishing the instructions, I thought of something and mentioned it to him, "Iwahashi-san, Akina-san also had a bad cold a while ago."

"Oh." Iwahashi Shinichi knew it early.

Okada Yukiko looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, and then recalled the listless and hoarse voice of Nakamori Akina on the phone before, and suddenly felt funny.

"I called Akina-san yesterday and heard from her that her cold has gone away." She finally couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that when I saw you today, your cold would be so serious."

During this severe cold, the women around Shinichi Iwahashi devoted themselves to making fun of him.

Iwahashi Shinichi is not afraid of drinking hot water and responded calmly, "Maybe it's because of the recent cooling down."

"Um……"

Okada Yukiko nodded, but couldn't help but quietly look at Iwahashi Shinichi's face.

After having the idea that "Iwahashi-san and Akina-san may be very familiar", Okada Yukiko often wanted to confirm whether her reasoning answer was correct, so when she mentioned a certain person in front of these two people, she always subconsciously

to take a look.

"Anyway," Shinichi Iwahashi was in poor health and not in a good condition. He didn't realize that he was being observed by Detective Okada, so he told her, "You should also pay more attention to your health, and be sure not to catch a cold."

It would be a bit funny if Yukiko Okada did it again after Akina Nakamori and him.

"Okay." Okada Yukiko agreed obediently.

…

The next day, Okada Yukiko talked to Nakamori Akina on the phone. On the phone, she talked about Iwahashi Shinichi's serious cold.

"...I saw her at Yoyogi's recording studio yesterday. It looked like she was having a hard time," Yukiko Okada said.

Nakamori Akina was very surprised, "Really?" Such an overreaction was because she just had a cold and Iwahashi Shinichi immediately fell ill again.

After the last meeting, the two of them have been busy these days. It is the end of the busy year, and the cold has recovered, and the office hastily arranged all the song promotions that should be done. Nakamori Akina's medical leave has come to an end and she has returned to work.

Amidst the busyness of the end of the year.

However, although the call was not made, she did receive a reply from Shinichi Iwahashi later.

The subject of the letter is naturally the impressions about the taste of the single. Other than that, it is trivial daily life. This letter was obviously written after meeting her, but even so, it still made her interesting to read.

abundant.

Even if we can meet and chat and talk freely, writing and reading letters are still a completely different feeling. After Nakamori Akina finished reading the letter, before picking up the pen to write a reply, she was still thinking about how to stump Iwahashi Shinichi.

.

So, she quietly decided to wait until she learned a new origami, then send the letter and the origami together, asking him to accept the challenge from her.

"Aren't Akina-san surprised too?"

On the phone, Okada Yukiko's voice interrupted Nakamori Akina's thoughts.

Nakamori Akina said "hmm" and wondered whether she should make a phone call to express condolences to Iwahashi Shinichi later.
