Chapter 111 - The Pitfall of the Future (1/2)
The Pitfall of the Future
When I opened my eyes, I was inside a noisy office space. Among the office desks that were lined up, I was at the head.
My time leap was released.
Confirming the date from the PC in front of me, it was ten years since the day we returned from the Hiiragi mansion. While dressed in a suit, I noticed that a mug with coffee was placed on the right side of my desk.
The current seat that I’m at is the leader’s seat, right…?
When I checked the business card in my pocket, my title was written on it.
[HRG Co., Ltd., Communications Division, Second. Section, Supervisor]
The supervisor could be called a leader at our company. It indicates the person in charge of managing the people that answer calls. It was a position there would be about 5-6 co-supervisors on the floor.
I, was promoted…
Below my affiliation and title, my name was written.
[Hiiragi Seiji]
“Ah.”
I became a Hiiragi!? I’m not a Sanada anymore! Which means I made progress with Hiiragi-chan. That has to be the case.
Until now, we had only reached the stage of living together. Still, there wasn’t a ring…
“I see… so not yet…”
Looking around, among the other leaders on the same floor, many were people I knew. Muramatsu-san, my once direct superior, seems to be a leader of a different group.
“Senpai, can you help me with this over here?”
A young girl holding some documents came jogging towards me.
“Eh? Aah, okay.”
However, this would be the first time that my time leap was released with me at the workplace. Can I think of this as things are going well with Hiiragi-chan?
Last time, listening to what Rei-chan, who had also time leaped, had said, my last name was still Sanada.
“Senpai, are you listening?”
I once again looked at the girl’s face.
“Huh… Are you perhaps, Rei-chan? Shibahara Rei-chan.”
“What’s with you all of a sudden? Please don’t call me by my full name. It doesn’t really sit right with me.”
The young, twin tailed girl, has grown to become a respectable lady. I say that, but she is probably about 20 years old.
“Sorry, can I talk to you for a bit?”
“What?”
I brought the wide-eyed Rei-chan into a meeting room.
“Senpai… we’re still working. You can’t be dragging a girl into a meeting room like this… you know…? If the young lady was to find out about this, it would be bad…”
I wonder why she was blushing while saying that.
“I definitely did say that I was fine with being the second or even the third… but not at the workplace… I don’t think I would be able to stop after that…”
This little girl, does she have the predisposition of a mistress? Please don’t try to strip your clothes while saying now. Is our relationship a physical one?
“You’re that Rei-chan, right? The one that time leapt to 4th grade and became an adult in the body of a child. That Rei-chan? Ten years after that would be now, right?”
“That’s right. What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Calm down and listen to me please… The current me, I came back.”
“I don’t get what you mean.”
I was instantly cut down.
“The me that the Rei-chan met while time leaped. That me is currently here… This is all confusing. Anyways, I want you to tell me.”
I listed out the information that I wanted to know one by one.
“How’s the company? It’s performance? Do you know anything?”
“Know anything? Rather, Senpai, didn’t you say it? It might be a little bad right now?”
“The present me said that it might be a little bad?”
That’s a shock.
Might be a little bad? Does that mean the business’s performance is starting to lean?
Last time, the small Rei-chan didn’t say that I was promoted. That’s why I tried hard to try and do something about the company. I thought that by becoming a member of the Hiiragi family I could have a better standing. Even then, there was something lacking it seems.
“What should I do?”
“It’s okay. Even if Senpai turns into some gross NEET, I’ll manage to do something for you somehow.”
When I held my head, Rei-chan hugged my head. Is Rei-chan the same type as Hiiragi-chan? A machine that produces useless spoiled men?
“What is our relationship?”
