I Reincarnated to a Chastity Reversal World Where Men Can’t “Do It” After They Turn 30 - Chapter 13 - Aobami-san’s Cold Gaze

Chapter 13 – Aobami-san’s Cold Gaze

[Suzuki Hajime’s POV]

As I headed towards the office, after parting from Yuna-san, Aobami-san was looking my way.

“Good morning, Aobami-san.”

I greeted her with a smile, but Aobami Rei-san looked at me with her usual cool expression.

“Good morning, Suzuki-san.”

She is very serious about her work and is trusted by those around her.

For some reason, I have a little difficulty with her.

It started when she joined the office as a new employee, and I was assigned to be her instructor.

It’s rare for a man to teach a woman, but at the time, there was a shortage of manpower, so I had the opportunity to guide her with various tasks.

My first impression of her was that she was calm, intelligent, and had a somewhat cold aura about her.

“Aobami-san, please take care of me. If there’s anything you don’t understand, please ask me.”

When I said that, she bowed modestly.

“Thank you, Suzuki-san. I look forward to working with you.”

For the first few days, I focused on teaching her the basic flow of work and various tasks.

There’s not that much I can do, but to my surprise, Aobami-san quickly learned the job at a speed that surpassed mine.

What’s more, I was impressed by her accuracy and efficiency.

“Suzuki-san, is this okay?”

Every time she handed in a document, I was amazed at how well-crafted it was.

“It’s perfect. Aobami-san, you’re truly talented.”

“Thank you.”

But she would just reply nonchalantly.

Her expressionless response made me feel a little lonely, but I’m sure she wouldn’t be happy to be praised by a man over thirty years old.

She soon moved on from my team as a valuable asset in her own right.

One day during my lunch break, I decided to have lunch at a nearby cafe.

I was trying to have lunch somewhere other than a cafeteria, looking for a place where I can relax in between work shifts.

The cafe I was going to today was a retro cafe, which has recently become popular. I’d like to enjoy the quiet atmosphere.

I went into the cafe, sat at a seat by the window, and ordered a plate of Napolitan and a coffee.

As I looked outside, I saw Aobami-san in the restaurant opposite.

“Oh, is Aobami-san looking at me?”

I thought I felt her gaze on me, but I was probably just imagining it.

When I returned to the office after lunch, Aobami-san was at her desk with her usual cool expression.

She was just having lunch after all.

When I sat down, I felt her gaze directed at me for just a moment.

Maybe since meeting Yuna-san, I’ve become concerned about how others look at me.

“Aobami-san, thank you for your hard work.”

When it was time to go home, I stood up and greeted Aobami-san.

“Suzuki-san, thank you for your hard work today.”

She answered without any expression on her face.

However, her expression made me feel like she was glaring at me.

Why is she glaring at me so much?

Even when I finished work and left the office, I felt like Aobami-san’s gaze was piercing my back.

Not knowing what Aobami-san’s thinking, I got into Yuna-san’s car.

“Hmm, I wonder if Aobami-san is unhappy with me about something…”

“Oh? Are you worried about something, Uncle?”

“Oh, sorry. I’m just a little worried about work.”

“If you don’t like your workplace, I’ll support you.”

It’s a nice offer, but it would be tragic if I jumped at it and this young girl got bored and dumped me.

“Thank you. I’ll think about it.”

“You’re so cold.”

I felt a little better when Yuna-san puffed out her cheeks and showed me her cute face.

At home, Kuu greeted me, which made me feel a little better, but I couldn’t get Aobami-san out of my head.

As I laid in bed, I remembered Aobami-san’s cold gaze.

Her expression never changes, so I have no idea what she thinks of me.

“I should try talking to her a bit more,” I decided, and went to sleep.

I decided to find out the true meaning of Aobami-san’s cold gaze.
