A New Ally

"A New Ally"!

I'm so, so sorry...

I suppose this might be a job for me, as the previous Demon Lord...

No, it's all right.

I want to introduce you to a new member of our team, A. Kina-san.

Hey there!

He's fully prepared, so feel free to rely on him.

Then if I had another broken compact...

You broke it again?!

Let's make it quick.

There you go.

Wow!

Why would someone so talented work with us...?

Apparently, he went as far with his old job as he could,

and now wants to contribute more to society.

What the heck?! Was he a CEO?

* He used to be the Demon Lord

Hey, hey, you around, Demon Lord?

Mentor!

Why are you dressed like that?

I'm working with the magical girl now.

Seriously, what are you doing?!

I've actually got some handy information about her.

Handy information?!

I get it! My mentor is working as a spy to discover the enemy's weaknesses...

Magical Girl Shiorin...

What about her?

She really values loyalty in a man.

How is that handy information?!

Should I not have told you?

It's good to know! Thank you very much!

To be continued!

To be continued! Maybe!

Maybe!

Oh, I love you so much, I just have to laugh

My Tiny Senpai

We've got an emergency here

Are you paying attention, me?

There's someone other than me dancing around inside of my heart

I want to talk to her

I want to touch her

Look, I get it, but for now try to pipe down

What in the world am I doing?

You're right next to me

And this is the perfect chance...

HONEY

I'm trapped by that sweet rich taste

And I don't think I can ever escape

I may as well just sink into it

HONEY

It's another day in your dazzling presence

We may never be on the same page with this love but

Oh, I love you so much, I just have to laugh

#10 Even If We're Just Playing, He's My Kohai...

This year is the 40th anniversary of our company's founding.

Sunpick Ltd. 40th Anniversary Event

It was through your contributions that we made it this far.

40th Anniversary

Thank you!

And once again, we're holding a competition between new hires this year!

New Hire Contest

A new hire competition?

It's a intracompany competition for employees in their first year.

When the manager was in his first year, his proposal won him the MVP award for that year.

It went on to actually be produced, became a huge hit...

Earning him the MVP award for that year.

Isn't that amazing?

I feel bad for the other rookies who were hired at the same time.

That said...

You're actually kind of amazing, huh, Manager?

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

Nah, I am!

Here we have our theme for this year!

Subject:

Meowtaro

A new way of promoting him!

And for the department that our most promising hire works in—

An opulent trip to a luxury resort in sunny southern Okinawa!

Supreme Opulence!

Luxury Resort

Okinawa... A luxury resort...

I bought a new swimsuit for the occasion.

What do you think, Shinozaki-san?

I...

I'm gonna work hard!

So motivated!

But I'll have to handle my regular duties, too...

I'll manage your task balance!

I'll help, too, of course!

So will Hayakawa-san.

I guess I don't mind pitching in...

Work hard to win that most promising hire award, Shinozaki-san!

Senpai...

I'll do just that! Let's all go to that tropical resort together!

Yeah!

So that's why you're so fired up.

I wanna live up to their expectations!

That said, I still don't have a concrete idea for my proposal yet...

What about you, Yamagishi-kun?

Not interested. Too big a pain.

Supreme Opulence!

Luxury Resort

What about the luxury resort?

Even less interested.

Think about who's in PR, dude...

Could you pwease help wif dis?

Don't wanna.

Yuri-tan.

Masa-tan.

Bluh...

I doubt I'd enjoy it at all.

I guess I'm sorry?

You really hit the jackpot, though, Zakishino...

You got a 5-star senpai with a 5-star boss to boot!

Could you not treat the people in my department like gacha characters?

Employment Agent

Maybe I oughta contact a job agent and see about trying a reset marathon...

I'm telling you, it tasted amazing.

Speak of the devil...

There's 5-star senpai.

And there's no limit!

There's not?!

Plus, the interior is so cute.

We're both rookies and we make the same money, but look at the difference!

Is life just pure RNG?!

With a senpai like that I'd be willing to work Monday to Friday

for nine hours a day, minus one hour for lunch, too!

You should be able to do that anyway.

Be real with me. How are things going, Zakishino?

With what?

Don't play dumb.

With you and Katase-paisen!

I mean, she came to check on you at your house...

And you went on a trip together, right? Right? Right?

Nothing... happened...

Unbelievable. What, you see those boobs and just feel nothing?

Don't talk so bluntly about boobs!

I-I mean...

I guess I can't say it's been absolutely nothing.

Holy crap, the deed's already done?!

Give him back! I want my pure-hearted Zakishino back!

I'm still pure, actually!

Five minutes left of lunch.

Uh... you're Kurusu-san, right?

m 0 0 l 140 0 l 140 75 l 0 75

Development Group 1 Kurusu Akari

That's Kurusu Akari from Development Group 1!

Watch yourself, Zakishino!

She was hand-picked as the rising star of Group 1

by their charismatic, high-minded chief!

She's got the hottest rep out of anyone who joined up the same year as us...

And she's favored to win the most promising rookie contest!

Time should be productive, not wasted...

If you want to progress to the next stage.

That does sound high-minded!

You were also discussing... breasts.

That's sexual harassment.

You're right, it is.

Not when it comes to Zakishino and Senpai. They're mutually in love.

Yamagishi-kun?!

The partner is... his senpai?

She's abusing her authority, then?

Wha?!

Exploiting her power.

Senpai isn't—

Chill out, Zakishino. Leave this to me.

This ain't no abuse.

Because the two of them are going out!

Also not true!

Workplace romance... Can't understand.

We don't provide matchmaking services here.

Yet, according to surveys, more than a quarter of married couples met at work.

It's totally natural.

Easy, now...

Kurusu.

This is rare. You normally don't stick around in the break room.

Development Group 1 Chief Takatsukasa Shinobu

Director Takatsukasa...

Waste of time... won't be able to get back to work right away...

Don't worry about it. You've still got four minutes.

The crucial thing is being able to switch your state of mind around.

Mistakes and regrets will be fuel to carry you to the next stage.

Right!

She really is high-minded, and charismatic, that chief...

S-So bright!

You're Shinozaki-kun from Dev Group 2, yes?

Yes.

Your manager and I joined the company at the same time.

I make it a point to keep up with Group 2's new hires.

You and Manager? That'd mean...

Isn't that amazing?

I feel bad for the other rookies.

She's who I felt bad for!

Something wrong?

No, nothing!

Akina and I have been friendly rivals

who've spurred each other on to greater heights, even back then.

That said, he's always proven to be more talented...

His proposal blew mine away.

Celebrating Product Development Group 2's Major Hit

And the product that came from it was a hit—

I've had my hands full just trying to catch up to him.

But before I realized it, I had been promoted faster than anyone in company history.

And he's stopped making as many obvious waves...

But I still can't forget it.

Those days when competing with him raised both of our games higher and higher...

And I've realized something.

I need him!

I've already spoken to the president about it.

I see.

Well, if Kurusu-kun can win the most promising rookie competition,

I'll consider transferring Akina-kun.

If I lose the contest... the manager's going to get transferred?!

Development Group 2

Development Group 1

Oh, no!

Since when did he become the heroine?

Cut that out! That's just gonna confuse me more!

I thought it'd be unfair if you didn't know.

Granted, we're bound to win... so don't feel too torn up about it.

It's time, Kurusu.

Right.

Wait a second!

You might need him,

but I don't intend on handing our manager over.

I'm going to win that most promising rookie award.

That's a good look in your eye.

One that's looking towards the next stage.

That said...

The competition... I won't lose to anyone.

I'll win most promising rookie.

We're taking this.

And Kurusu will go on to aim for even greater heights.

Well, that got real competitive all of a sudden!

Yeah.

Fantastic!

That was fantastic, Shinozaki-kun!

A heated battle between subordinates, on behalf of their bosses!

So nice!

You should fight, too, Yamagishi-kun! For me!

Ishiyama-san, no one wants you, so I can't.

Wow, what a turn of events for the rookie contest!

Are you even listening?

A battle over me!

No, seriously...

Good luck out there, Yamagishi-kun!

There's no fight here.

The new hire contest...

Good luck!

I don't need encouragement.

You do!

No!

I can't lose, no matter what!

Good luck!

No lo necesito.

Product Development

Group 2

Manager, about my project for the competition...

Look at that!

That tea stalk is standing up!

I bet that's a good sign for something!

I hope so. Having green tea every once in a while is nice, too.

Sure is!

So carefree...

My Tiny Senpai.

I hope you'll play with me a whole lot!

Okay!

Aozora Preschool

So many toys!

I know this!

They're cute.

Be sure to thank the nice people for the toys!

Thank you!

Would you like to accompany me to the ball?

Me, too!

Then let's all dance together.

Onee-chan, draw Kyapicure!

Nice art!

Sure.

I want Meowjiro!

Okay, sure! I'll do my best!

The kids seem really thrilled.

Yeah!

I didn't know we oversaw product tests like this.

We see how they play with them, and make adjustments based on that.

We don't get many chances for this, so get as much research done as you can.

It might help with your contest.

Right!

The contest, huh...

Did you tell Senpai?

I don't want her to worry, though...

So I haven't told her about Manager yet.

I have to say...

Hey, come over here!

What should we play?

Okay!

She's so motherly!

The kids are drawn to her effortlessly...

Downright Madonna-like!

But more than that...

Welcome home, honey.

Wife factor...

High!

Do your job.

I-I know!

Okay, what do you guys wanna play?

Um, let me think..

With this? Or maybe this?

He broke the ice so easily.

That's Shinozaki-san. He's such a capable kohai.

And then there's...

how paternal he is!

All the kids he's interacting with are smiling...

It's like he's some kind of all-father!

And more than that...

Welcome home, honey.

Husband factor...

High!

Stare...

Uh, well...

Wh-What should we do to play?!

Come on, Tomo-kun! Don't pull!

You're gonna rip Meowtaro!

Then, you let go, Marin!

What's wrong?

Let's play nice together.

I've got another Meowtaro right here.

I don't wanna play with some dumb doll.

But she's always playing with them all by herself!

You noticed that, huh? Do you want to play with her?

Wha...

Who'd wanna play with Marin?!

Did that hurt, Meowtaro?

There, there...

It's okay now. He's not hurt.

Do you usually play alone?

Yeah. My friends are the dolls.

I see. But I'd like you to play with us, too, Marin-chan.

Then, let's play house!

House?

Onii-chan, you're the daddy.

Shinozaki-san's the daddy...

And you, Onee-chan...

Th-The way this is going...

Onee-chan, you're mommy!

Mommy?

Yeah! He's daddy and you're mommy!

Even if we're just playing... he's my kohai...

No! Mommy doesn't call daddy her kohai!

Th-Then...

Takuma-san.

Shiori-san.

Yay! Daddy! Mommy!

It's like a vision of the future!

No! The child is supposed to be the star when you play house!

Onee-chan...

You'll be kitty!

And I'll be mommy. And you're kitty!

I'm... a kitty?

I guess Senpai seems like a cat to kids, too.

A cat... I mean, that is a member of the family, but...

So I'm an animal, not a human...

Daddy, dinner is ready!

There, there.

Do you want to eat, too, kitty?

In that case...

Sit on Daddy's lap.

S-S-Sit... on Daddy's lap?!

No!

You have to sit for real!

If you don't wanna do that, then lie on it.

Like lie down?! In his lap?!

That'd be sexual harassment and abuse of authority!

Serious charges!

But the child is the star when you play house...

I should...

S-Senpai?!

There you go. Good girl.

Give the kitty pats, Daddy.

Patting her while lying around?!

Those are couple activities! In broad daylight, in front of small children?!

But Senpai's a cat right now...

But I'm a cat right now...

G-Good girl...

Maybe life as a cat... wouldn't be so bad.

Okay, your food is here, kitty.

Eating off the floor... but I'm a cat... I'm a cat.

Senpai is crawling around on the ground...

Yum-meow!

We're done eating, so let's have a picnic in the sandbox!

But there's a shark inside, so be careful.

A shark at a picnic?

Be careful now, Mommy.

I'm Mommy!

R-Right! Sorry!

Oh, Shinozaki-san...

The castle I made with Daddy and Kitty...

He's not a daddy, and she's not a cat!

And there's no sharks, either!

Sharks...?

Were you watching the whole time?

H-Hell no!

Why would I look at Marin?

Tomo-kun!

Shinozaki-san!

If you like a girl, be nice to her.

Sorry... you still mad?

I guess.

I really am sorry. Let's remake it...

And then can I play with you?

I guess that's fine.

So, when we play house, who will Tomo-kun be?

Tomo-kun is...

The shark.

The shark?!

He's mean, so he has to be the shark that I hate.

Sh-Shark... the one she hates...

Bye-bye!

Thank you!

Come again!

Bye-bye!

See you next time!

Well, they were an energetic bunch!

They were...

I don't think I wanna draw Kyapicure for a while.

You did draw a lot!

You're a star artist!

What did you think, Shinozaki-san?

Will today be useful for your proposal?

I think so.

It's kind of vague, but I'm starting to get a vision for what I want.

I'll work hard so I can win most promising rookie!

That's the spirit!

By the way, do you think those two will be okay?

You mean Marin-chan and Tomo-kun?

They had made up by the time we were leaving.

I'm sure they'll be okay!

I think so, too.

If you like a girl, be nice to her.

Be nice to the girls you like...

Shinozaki-san is always nice to me, isn't he?

Is the cap stuck? I can open it for you.

Too hot? Let's turn the AC on.

So... so nice...

So nice!

Death By Nice

S-Senpai?!

Are you okay, Senpai?! What's wrong?!

I'm okay.

Adorable.

Use my handkerchief!

Bleary-eyed and not fully awake from a dream

I still can't bring myself to drink that bitter coffee

So I sneakily toss in two pinches of a sweet secret

And let it slowly spread throughout

There's a local bakery that's only open sometimes

Where I once had some toast that glittered

What is it that makes it so satisfying?

Almost like magic

I find myself thinking about that kind of thing

How the small things can be the most precious

Deep inside my heart

It's ever so bittersweet

"Just being around you is enough"

Becomes my mantra

Baby like sugar

Baby you're the sugar
