The kid near the first aisle is shoplifting. Use this chance to get a promotion! That was what the text read. Â “You picked the wrong day and person, kid. Now give me the tote bag and get out of here” The shopkeeper scolded Yuka and stuck his hand out, gesturing to give him the bag. Yuka looked up at the intimidating man with confusion as to why the guy was pressuring him and demanding the tote bag. Denying the shopkeeper's request and trying to make a break for the exit, the man tripped Yuta, making him fall and spill the contents of the tote bag all over the floor. No running little man, he put the boy in an arm lock to pin him down as he yelled for the boss, but to no avail. With his boss being distracted laughing and chatting it up with Zeno in the backroom, none of the front room scuffles could be heard. Yuta resisted and wiggled free, punching the man in his face, causing his nose to bleed and stumble backward. Using the opportune moment, Yuta quickly bagged up all the stuff into the tote bag to try and make his exit. Unbeknownst to him, the shopkeeper's friend came into the store bumping into the boy, leading him to fall backward on his butt. The friend looked confused as to who bumped him, but when he saw the situation in front of him, he went in for the attack and held down the young boy.
