Chapter 1 (2/2)

Tsurube sat down in front ofher nails on the tablet A paper cup was placed on the table, with four seats laid around it After carefully pouring the tea fro satisfied, breathed deeply and sat in her seat

“Well then, let’s begin,” Tsurube said as she reached out and took a sip “I have a lot of things I want to ask regarding the evaluation” She tapped on her tablet a bit, and the screen showed so si so with the stylus

Tsutsujigaoka sat beside me “I-I’ll do my best to answer,” she said nervously

“Me too,” I said as I bowed my head

Tsutsujigaoka and I transferred fro boss was Tsurube, so our end-of-term revieere handled by her damn, I’m a little nervous… In the military branch, all thateven re this is a first for me Well, it’s expected, I suppose In theour fists, not our words

Tsurube laughed bitterly “Don’t be that stiff, co our nervousness “I already received your reports, and nothing was really that significant”

“… So you’re saying you make decisions based solely on the reports?” I asked If that was true, it’ll be really troubleso anything important At most, I would meet with clients and hear their complaints about our branch I really didn’t do a lot, so it’s inevitable that o badly

Tsurube looked puzzled

Urushi+bara was angry “Chigusa… why are you even talking like that?” He was sitting next to Tsurube “Show sooing down, you know”

“Ah, I should speak aoka said “No wait, Asagao-senpai? Or should I say Tsurube-senpai?”

Tsurube fidgeted with her front bangs “Don’t call me Tsurube…” she vehemently replied In an instant, her ss

Tsurube continued “You really don’t have to be so fore is a friend In the first place, this departood results, there will absolutely be no proble else”

Urushi+bara chiusa? In this world, results are everything Unlike the military branch, it is not based on seniority here This is an open workplace, after all”

The , Urushi+bara would nod nonchalantly and agree with her He flip-flops on things so much… But, even if this place was results orientated, whenever I went ho ht also be too open, I think… Also, Tsurube just nonchalantly i, so I guess it’s okay

“Well, results are everything, but for this tere and Chigusa, it see for this past half year That’s why I’m only here to ask you a few questions”

“I-I see Thank goodness…” said Tsutsujigaoka, who grasped both her hands together, relieved In return, Tsurube gave her a slight smile

Tsurube continued asking her questions “How’s the work environ?”

“Yup! All the upperclassmen are nice, not to aoka

“I see, that’s great then Chigusa how about you? Your old branch ranked based on order of enrollment, but isn’t this systely

Without thinking, I laughed sarcastically “Hahaha, sure…” I said softly Was this forehead girl serious? It’s true that when I was in theachieved anything significant, but I feel exactly the sa branch was different than the military one since I had to ith other branches and cities Thanks to that, I had to deal with troublesos no matter where I went

In these past few years, due to this forehead girl actively participating in the branch, the nureatly increased They no longer just supplied food and other things to thebrand nah quality fruits, and other luxury ites to more client and more clients As a result, their profits skyrocketed, but the amount of complaints also increased While there were complaints about the product and the distribution of said product, there were also co the other branches and cities trying to cut into the profits

It felt a bit weird to have the departs while advancing the old things It was certainly fast paced

“Well, I don’t know about coht tint of dissatisfaction “There’s a lot of work to be done on the outside, but not a lot of workplaces Well, cohere I’h working every day until dark

Tsurube grinned s fun of ht This is work actually worth doing, right?”

“You sure are blunt, huh…” I replied It’s irrational to think that you don’t need a salary, but just so Occasionally, however, there were people who respected that belief Thankfully though, that belief was onlycompanies of the past

“Well, as for me, I really wasn’t that useful in the ly “But here, I’m happy to be useful to everyone!”

“That’s right! You are useful!” Tsurube said as she nodded “Our work here contributes the most to this world! You could even say that we are the foundation for this coone as well” With a clank, she stood straight up and made a fist

“She’s really getting fired up…” I noted

“Asagao is very diligent, after all,” responded Tsutsujigaoka Her response threw ence, but isn’t it h, I think…

Tsurube swung her arive her speechfood is the best! Chiba itself is the foundation for this world! The food storage in this city is not only the lifeline for us in the South Kanto region’s third city, but for everyone in the country as well! We have awesome biotech research! Our branch is the best that Chiba has to offer! Kanagawa only has muscle-heads that only produce weapons The central parliament in Tokyo only has brainless and cocky members Neither are on the same level as us!” she stated She exhaled deeply, and her forehead gave off a flash of light

Tsutsujigaoka applauded with a smile Urushi+bara was moved to tears by her words He wiped the corners of his eyes However, forto all that didn’t really ? As expected of Chiba!” Though being really into your ho Hmm, yeah I will applaud to that

Tsurube cleared her throat a few times and continued “In any case, I hope all of us have this passion and spirit for the e do H else we need to discuss?” She was probably embarrassed froeted with the tablet a little bit and changed the screen I glanced at the screen and saw so that resembled a checklist

“Co to herself

Tsutsujigaoka twisted her ahead a little bit “Com- what?” she asked It was clear she had not heard the word before

Tsurube used the tablet as she explained “Basically it’s just to make sure you didn’t break any school rules Also there are things like whether the work environement is adequate We also have to check up on you a bit, andlike that These are the checks mandated by the school, and we have to comply with it”

She looked down at the tablet and cos ask for toothe list and checking off items

“Aren’t we supposed to fill that out ourselves and turn it in?” I asked, feeling a bit uneasy about what she just said

She looked at me blankly and tilted her head “Huh? Well in the end you have to get it checked by ?” she replied She was cute, but doing it this way had to have violated some rules

This is ht

“Alright I’ll ask this just in case…” Tsurube cleared her throat and read the final ite it herself after what I’ve said “Is there any sort of power harassment in the workplace?”

“None, right? There is none,” Urushi+bara said as he turned towards aoka

“Why did Urushi+bara answer that…” I quickly interjected “Wait, if you are trying to force an answer out… isn’t that power harass “just in case” will change anything

With a stroke of her finger, Tsurube checked the box “Nice that there is no power harass me

“It sure is, right?” added Urushi+bara

I’ain “That’s… um that’s power harassment…” I tister Off to the side, Tsurube was nonchalantly hitting the sides of her lips with a pen
