[CH.3] First day on the job after transfer (Part 1)
On April 1st, the first day at work, I put on my suit, tightened my tie, and left home.
When I was at the headquarters, I was quite relaxed, but this time, I'll make sure to be more disciplined for at least the first month.
Many regional offices are more casual, and it's common to come to the office in casual attire and change into work clothes. However, the Hamayama Sales Office I'm going to is an all-female workplace.
First and foremost, I can't afford to dress sloppily; that alone would be a big no-no. Considering my already less-than-impressive appearance, if I were perceived as unkempt, there's a possibility they won't even bother teaching me the job.
I want to avoid becoming an outcast right after the transfer.
Additionally, there's the fact that the branch manager is Rion Mimasaka. Even when I talked to her immediate superior, the department head, they mentioned that I wouldn't stand a chance against Mimasaka-san, so the power dynamics must be quite skewed.
Her personality is known to be tough, and there are even rumors that she's like an empress.
I might get bullied to death if I'm not careful. But back in late March, when I nervously contacted Branch Manager Mimasaka...
"You're Hanamura-kun, right? I'd like you to tell me more about that device, as a member of the development team. Everyone is looking forward to it."
Her voice was incredibly beautiful. She spoke in a way that gave the impression of competence. With her stunning appearance from the photos and that voice, I would probably blush and become entranced if she talked to me like that.
It feels odd to hear that everyone is looking forward to it. My fellow trainee, Nishina-san, might be included, but Branch Manager Mimasaka is just a voice. I've never met my junior, Kuhou-san, even once. We might have crossed paths at a welcome party for newcomers when I was at the headquarters, but I doubt I've met her, as I didn't have the determination to approach female colleagues.
And now, I've arrived at the location specified by my fellow trainee, Nishina-san.
It should be about a 5-minute walk from the Hamayama Sales Office.
"Oh, hey there, Hanamucchan!"
A strikingly attractive woman in a well-fitted suit was calling my nickname.
It was Kazuha Nishina, my fellow trainee, and one of the most popular female employees.
Her legend had been passed down since the new employee training, but her outstanding beauty was undoubtedly the first thing to mention.
She looks even more beautiful now... Calm down. I need to be in work mode!
"Good morning, Nishina-san. It's been a while."
"Yeah, yeah! Hanamucchan, did you gain weight?"
"Uh, well, last year I had a lot of office work... So, uh, it's been since the joint headquarters training two years ago, I guess."
"That's right! Time flies, huh? But from now on, we're colleagues in the same office, so let's work together!"
I was captivated by her cheerful smile. She's so beautiful... Is she like a goddess? It seems like my dark morning mood is disappearing.
Her chestnut-colored hair that reached her shoulders, her curly eyes, and her fantastic figure... Kazuha Nishina was so cute that it seemed like all our fellow trainees would fall for her.
As for me... She was too unattainable, and I couldn't do anything about it.
"Both the branch manager and Hinata-chan are waiting, so shall we go?"
Just Nishina-san alone makes my heart race, and now I'll be meeting Kuhou-san for the first time, not to mention Branch Manager Mimasaka... I wonder how I'll handle this.
