I fell into the world of cyberpunk games

In fact, I could tell without even looking at the sender.

If it wasn’t for the president of Dragon, who else would use such an otaku language even in a text message?

The concept is strictly adhered to.

By the way, how did you know that I just happened and contact you?

[Are you okay with Daijobu?]

The string floating above the watch display gives a sigh of relief.

… no. I don’t think it’s okay.

Exactly, I have to say that it’s not going to be okay.

I am definitely not feeling well, and my future prospects are also not going to be good.

It was uncomfortable as if there was a thorn in my neck just by contacting Megacorp Milicia, but with the addition of Schneider from the noble family.

“… I do not know.”

What is certain is that grunting here is not a problem to be solved.

whatever it will be The Dragon boss seems to be contacting him again, so he might be able to help.

If you think it’s too risky, wouldn’t it be okay to get down on your knees in front of the president again and beg for his life just once?

You should have been satisfied with the report that the president sent in advance through the reservation system before going to work yesterday.

Filled with complicated thoughts, he reached out and tapped the AR keyboard.

Every time I move my fingers and type, my flexor flexors are pulled and my forearms hurt. You’re going crazy, really.

[Yes, that’s fine. How was the bar?]

It seems that it took 10 seconds to send this short word. As soon as I typed it and sent it, a check mark popped up and a reply was sent.

[I’m glad you’re okay. As for the bar… Hmm. It’s a long story to share via messenger.]

That’s what I was waiting for.

He responded by moving his fingers in a hurry.

[Then let’s meet and talk. I also have something to say.]

I had a lot to say.

About this case, about the bar.

And as for the other employees.

It was a job with many secrets and many suspicious points.

Previously, I had not asked the question in a respectful sense, but after what happened yesterday, I have changed my mind.

I need to know. What the hell are people doing, and why do these things keep happening?

Considering what I did yesterday, it seemed that I had the right to ask for that kind of answer.

The president was absent, and while the bartenders disappeared, he faced the leader of Luddite alone.

To fulfill my responsibilities as a bar manager, to protect the bar.

At least, I think I’ve done the grace I’ve received so far. I don’t even feel like I owe anything.

If Dragon President had even the slightest bit of conscience, wouldn’t he give a serious answer after doing as much as this?

If you refuse, there is nothing you can do about it.

If you hide it to the end, the work will continue, but… In the true sense of the word, it seemed difficult to become an employee of Dragon’s Rare.

Did I even read the serious meaning contained in the chat I made? Dragon President did not answer for a while.

After waiting a minute or so, the message arrived.

[Yoshi (okay). Let’s all talk about this Kim. It looks like the bar will be closed for the next three days anyway. When do we meet? today? later tonight?]

Agree more readily than expected. Even quite active.

… I’m too active.

I responded slowly in a cold sweat.

[no. Wouldn’t tomorrow or the day after tomorrow be better.]

[why? Wouldn’t it be better to say something good, hurry up (ぜんそそげ), and do it right after the word has come out? After all, you won’t have anything else to do.]

It is true that there is nothing else to do, but it is not.

yeah… .

[…] My body doesn’t move.]

Because I literally can’t move.

In this current state, it is difficult to even get out of bed, let alone meet the dragon boss and other bartenders.

It’s not empty words, I really tried to get up, but I had to give up because of the pain in my muscles.

He was in a state of not being able to get out.

However, I added a few text messages because sending them like that could lead to misunderstandings.

[It’s not that I’m paralyzed or anything like that, it’s because of muscle pain. It will be fine tomorrow.]

[He said he was fine before. It’s like this Usotsuki (liar).]

[sorry.]

[done. It’s funny to say that you got hurt while working. Rest well and take good care of yourself. I’ll call you tomorrow when it’s really good.]

[all right.]

Then I thought it was the end, but at the end, another text came.

[Oh yes, and. The best way to relieve muscle pain is through exercise. Can you recommend a fitness center that I know well? ]

Tyrick.

After half-reading the message, I immediately turned off the cyberwatch screen.

I’m afraid someone isn’t the Hellchang Dragon, so they’re recommending exercise even in this kind of situation.

Thank you for thinking of me, but it worked.

This means that today will be a restful day. You should fully enjoy your long break.

I will lie in bed all day and not fall out of bed. Nothing can change this decision of mine.

A room, but a huge room that is too large and spacious to be called a room.

Someone’s office was a space the size of which would be sufficient even if dozens of route buses were put inside.

As a dark light illuminates the surroundings, a samurai in skeleton armor jumped out from the shadows and knelt down and said:

[Chairman, the chief of staff has arrived.]

A wide space, a voice mixed with mechanical sounds resounding in the quiet air is directed towards the far end of the office.

It is a black mechanical pedestal with a large and high table and chairs.

On the outside, an antique yet gorgeous gold and black Japanese-style pattern design emits a subtle light.

On it were engraved phrases in a nice cursive handwriting.

Better Than Life (BTL)

There is only one place in Dusk City, or in the whole world, that uses this catch-prize.

Isiho (Ishiho) Corporation.

This novel was posted at readwn.com

Megacorp ranked 4th in the overall corporate ranking.

The place where they are now is the skyscraper of Shiho Lee’s headquarters. It is the highest floor of East Monica’s tallest building called ‘Gintoki Tower’.

A veiled space accessible only to Megacorp’s senior executives and those closest to the president.

Those who know even a little about the reality of it are hesitant to even talk about it, but if something comes up, they hesitate to say it.

It’s called the Iron Blooded Room.

“… .”

The owner of the room silently moved the paper and pen on the high podium, one of the highest places in the city.

He must have listened to the samurai, but as if he hadn’t heard it, he didn’t respond at all.

Outside the door, a person called the chief of staff is waiting in a cold sweat.

Its impatient and powerful body movements are captured by the sharp sense of the samurai. Even though he was so far away, he was alive.

It was natural. He has computerized everything that happens in this spacious office and outside, down to the smallest dust, and takes it into his brain.

Still, he didn’t care about the secretary. He never spoke to his master again.

Because I know that loyalty and patience are the virtues of a great subordinate rather than consideration.

Knowing that his owner would not tolerate being noisy for insignificant reasons.

how much time has passed

The wall of the golden sun on a black background, shadow shadows on the candles move.

He put down his pen as if he had finished his work.

“Tell me to come in.”

The voice was unexpectedly young. I wonder if the voice of an immature girl would be like this.

However, in it, the aura of the one who has reigned since birth, melted like frost.

This was the voice of Lee Si-ho’s Chairman of the Iron Blood.

[Please come in.]

The samurai moved forward and silently opened the large gate.

The chief of staff, wearing a well-groomed suit and gilded glasses, walked on the carpet, being careful not to make a single footstep.

After going a certain distance, he bows his head at an angle of ninety degrees and says.

“It’s Aaron Nakamura’s business, Chairman.”

Inyoung from high places said while stroking her lips.

“I already heard it. Luddite… Ned Rudd showed up.”

“Yes. We are a little late to gather detailed information.”

At that, her pretty face frowned slightly.

The chief of staff realized that he had made a mistake. He was just putting out unnecessary excuses.

To make up for a mistake, you have to move one step faster. spoke calmly.

“According to the analysis of the secretary’s office, Ned Rudd, one of the three chieftains of Luddite, was killed at the hands of Wara and his dispatcher Aaron Nakamura.”

“Not Sasha Dragon?”

“Yes. Sasha Dragon was not at the bar. For sure.”

“… .”

He looked like he was still in thought. Was the news he had now heard even as the Iron-Blooded Chairman unexpected?

I did just that. The chief of staff didn’t believe it when he first heard about it.

“Sandayu (三太夫).”

[Yes, Chairman.]

After a few seconds of silence, the chairman called the samurai.

“When you first joined the company, what were the results of Aaron’s combat ability test?”

[F+. It was a bit higher than the general public.]

“Isn’t that an evaluation of a system module?”

[That’s right.]

“What was your judgment?”

[In my opinion, it was E. Eyes are good. However, his physical abilities do not keep up with it, and he has a resistance to the combat situation itself.]

An answer without the slightest hesitation. The president nodded.

“And Ned Rudd’s estimated combat ability is between B+ and A… . It’s a gap that you can’t usually keep up with.”

And the silence fell again.

The chairman was only in trouble for a moment, but time seemed to stand still for a moment as the entire room was immersed in complete darkness.

Whoo-wook-

The chairperson opened his mouth only when the shadowed candle on the table flickered slightly.

“I wonder what happened. There is still a lot of time left until we wait for the next report, and above all, it would be more accurate to hear this in person.”

It was clear what that meant.

Lee Si-ho’s chairman, Cheol-hyeol, looked at the chief of staff and ordered.

“Bring Aaron Nakamura.”

Chairman’s call.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the break would not last long.
