Chapter 106: Just admit it, I want to get off work early.

Japanese society isn't just lip service when it comes to strict hierarchies, and this even extends to work meals, which are also differentiated into various ranks. When distributing "work meals," Nanahara Takeshi, Nakano Eri, Kiyomi Liuli, and Rinna Makoto received three lacquered boxes and a bowl of soup, while other detectives and forensic department staff only got two lacquered boxes and a bottle of water, the difference was quite noticeable.

But no one else seemed dissatisfied. After all, when on external duties, it was usually impossible to even have an eel donburi (eel over rice), so having an eel ju—usually referring to the double or multi-layered eel rice in a fine lacquered container—certainly qualified as a feast, leaving little room for discontent.
