The two of them chatted about random things for half an hour. Watanabe Shun talked for quite a while and then realized that Ono Yoshi hadn't said a word. So he turned and asked, "What line of work are you in, Brother Ono?"
Ono Yoshi coughed dryly twice, feeling somewhat paranoid, because there were two packages of stock right in the convenience store warehouse.
"I run a convenience store... just around the street corner. Feel free to drop by when you have time."
"Oh! I remember now, your store frequently runs out of shochu!" Watanabe Shun chuckled.
Ono Yoshi laughed awkwardly, occasionally glancing at Fushimi Roku, trying to figure out this guy's true intentions.
Fushimi Roku naturally noticed. He pretended to be drunk and turned to ask, "By the way, Brother Ono, does your association deal with illicit goods?"
"..."
"..."
The izakaya suddenly fell silent.
