Chapter 40 People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat.
After the training ended, the newcomers left the training room one after another.
Kenta Sasaki did not leave immediately.
He stood there, arms crossed, looking as serious as if he were experiencing a major turning point in his life.
Arima Kishou packed up his documents and prepared to leave.
"I'm gone."
"Wait a moment."
Kenta Sasaki suddenly spoke up.
Arima Kishou stopped in his tracks.
Kenta Sasaki looked at Yaya Kiryu not far away, his voice low and somber:
"Arima, I admit, he's very strong."
"Um."
"But today is just the first battle."
"Um."
"I won't give up like this."
"Um."
"I will protect Yayoi-san's smile."
Arima Kishou glanced at him for two seconds.
"Sasaki."
"What's wrong?"
"You should let Yayoi-san know that you like her first."
"..."
Kenta Sasaki fell silent again.
On the other side, Mizuna Yayoi, holding a notebook, walked slowly to Yaya Kiryu.
Because there were other newcomers around, she didn't address them as "seniors" as she would in private, but tried her best to remain natural.
"Kiryu-kun."
"Um?"
"Lunch break...the usual place, is that alright?"
She spoke softly, but her cheeks still flushed slightly.
Kiryu Yaya nodded.
"Can."
"Then I'll go to the cafeteria to save a seat."
"it is good."
Mizuna Yayoi, clutching her notebook, left with light, quick steps.
Kenta Sasaki stood not far away, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.
The usual spot?
Lunch break?
May I?
These words, when combined, caused him immense harm.
He stiffly turned his head to look at Arima Kishou.
"Arima."
"Um."
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard you."
"What does 'the usual place' mean?"
Arima Kishou adjusted his glasses.
"It's most likely a place where we often eat together."
Kenta Sasaki clutched his chest.
"Why can you say such cruel things so calmly?"
"Because it's true."
Kenta Sasaki took a deep breath.
"no."
He suddenly perked up.
"I need to check."
Arima Kishou looked at him.
"Confirm what?"
"It's confirmed that they are just ordinary colleagues."
"What if it isn't?"
Kenta Sasaki was silent for a second.
"Then I need to find out if I still have a chance."
Arima Kishou said calmly:
"You're very strong."
"certainly."
"Put on your clown hat."
"Shut up."
……
Lunchtime in the cafeteria.
As soon as Kiryu Yaya walked in, he saw Yayoi Mizuna already sitting in her usual spot near the drinks counter.
A dark blue cloth bag was placed on the table.
She sat upright with her hands on her knees.
Upon seeing Kiryu Yaya approach, he immediately flashed a small smile.
"senior!"
"Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived too."
Kiryu Yaya sat down opposite her.
Mizuna Yayoi untied the cloth bag and pushed one of the bento boxes in front of him.
"Today's performance was just average."
Kiryu Yaya opened the lid.
Then silence fell.
The rice is sea bream rice, sprinkled with buds.
Next to it were beef yakana rolls, crab meat omelets, sesame asparagus salad, pumpkin stew, and two strawberries cut like flower petals.
What is called ordinary.
It's probably just ordinary life for a wealthy family.
Kiryu Yaya picked up his chopsticks.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Won't."
Mizuna Yayoi lowered her head and whispered:
"I'd be happy to help you, senior."
On the other side of the cafeteria.
Kenta Sasaki, holding a bowl of curry rice, stood behind a pillar, completely petrified.
"convenient……"
His voice trembled.
"A homemade bento box..."
Arima Kishou stood next to him, holding a cafeteria meal.
You're blocking my way.
Kenta Sasaki seemed not to hear.
Why?
"Because they had arranged to have lunch together."
"Why a bento box?"
"Because Yayoi-san did it."
Why does every word you say feel like a knife?
"Because you keep asking stupid questions."
Kenta Sasaki was holding a bowl of curry rice, swaying precariously.
Arima Kishou glanced at him, then at Kiryu Yaya and Yayoi Mizuna, who were eating their bento boxes not far away.
"Sasaki."
"Um?"
"The food is cold."
My heart has already turned cold.
"Then eat faster."
"Do you really have no blood left?"
"Yes. But there's no need to waste time on a place like this."
On the other hand, Mizuna Yayoi had no idea that she had just put a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) youth through a major life crisis.
She watched cautiously as Kiryu Yaya ate his first bite of sea bream rice.
"How is it?"
"It's delicious."
"Very good."
She visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Kiryu Yaya looked at her and said:
"Was the training you received from Minister Todo this morning helpful?"
Mizuna Yayoi nodded vigorously.
"have."
"I used to think that details were just a lot of troublesome little things."
"But after listening to what Minister Todo said today, and seeing what Kiryu-kun and Arima-kun found out about those problems, I realized that there were risks behind those small things."
She looked down at the lunchbox and lowered her voice.
"When my applications were rejected before, I just felt useless."
"But now I think, if we could have discovered the problem before sending it out, we were actually protecting others, right?"
Kiryu Yaya nodded.
"right."
"The bank's details are not meant to make things difficult for anyone."
"It's about minimizing errors."
Mizuna Yayoi nodded thoughtfully.
Kiryu Yaya began teaching while eating:
"Yayoi-san."
"Yes."
"Next time you organize data, you can try the three-color marking method."
"Three colors?"
Mizuna Yayoi immediately pulled out a notepad from her pocket.
Kiryu Yaya picked up his chopsticks and gestured next to the bento box.
"Red indicates laws and seals."
"For example, signature, actual seal, corrected seal, cut seal, right of representation, power of attorney."
"Blue indicates the amount."
"Application Amount, Liability Amount, Quotation Amount, Voucher Amount, Total Columns"
"Green indicates time."
"Application date, expiry date, certificate validity period, meeting date, contract term."
Mizuna Yayoi's pen moved swiftly.
"Red represents laws and seals, blue represents amounts, and green represents time..."
"right."
Kiryu Yaya continued:
"Most errors in bank records fall into these three categories."
"Don't try to see through all the problems at a glance."
"As long as you can reliably complete these three types of checks, the documents you handle will no longer be easily returned."
Yayoi Mina looked up, her eyes bright.
"So that's how you can organize it."
Kiryu Yaya picked up a piece of beef Hachiman roll.
"The process is designed to help people reduce panic."
"The more nervous you are, the more you need to rely on the process."
Mizuna Yayoi nodded vigorously.
"I'll give it a try."
Behind a pillar in the distance.
Kenta Sasaki watched as Mizuna Yayoi diligently took notes, and then watched Yaya Kiryu calmly eat the bento she had made. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Arima."
"Um."
"I want to challenge him."
"I already did the challenge this morning."
"That doesn't count."
You lost.
"It's not up to me to decide."
Arima Kishou took a sip of miso soup and said calmly:
"So what are you planning to challenge yourself with?"
Kenta Sasaki thought about it for a long time.
Then he said seriously:
"Who understands Yayoi-san's heart better?"
Arima Kishou put down his soup bowl.
"Then you've already lost."
Why?
"Because you still don't even know what she likes to eat."
Kenta Sasaki fell completely silent.
Arima Kishou added:
"And Kiryu Yaya at least knows that she's a good cook."
Kenta Sasaki covered his face.
"Stop talking."
"That's true."
"Please stop talking."
Arima Kishou looked at him and sighed, a rare occurrence for him.
"Let's eat first."
"The curry is really cold."
……
After lunch break, Kiryu Yaya returned to the financing review department on the third floor.
He had just sat down when Chihaya Yuri handed him a document from the side.
"Kiryu-kun."
"Yes."
"Is the new employee training program over?"
"it's over."
"I heard you've become famous at the training conference again."
Kiryu Yaya was silent for a second.
"It's just normal training."
Chihaya Yuri raised her eyes and glanced at him.
"Normal training wouldn't prompt the General Affairs Department's Director Todo to call specifically to say that the new recruit in the Financing Review Section is quite good."
Kiryu Yaya was somewhat surprised.
"Boss Fujido?"
"Um."
Chihaya Yuri placed the document on his desk.
"So, very good newcomer, please prepare this post-loan inspection plan by 3 PM."
"..."
Kiryu Yaya looked down at the documents.
A thick stack.
He suddenly realized that fame was indeed not a good thing.
People are afraid of famous pigs.
The ancients never lied to me.
2:30 p.m.
The financing review department was bustling with activity.
The sounds of telephones, paper turning, and printers mingled together.
Kiryu Yaya is compiling key points for the post-loan follow-up of Shiraishi Refrigeration Equipment over the next three months.
Just then, the door to the section chief's office was pushed open.
Masakazu Yamada came out from inside, holding a note in his hand.
His gaze swept across the office, finally settling on Kiryu Yaya.
"Kiryu."
"Yes."
Kiryu Yaya stood up.
Masakazu Yamada said:
"Come with me to the fifth floor."
Kiryu Yaya's heart stirred slightly.
"Is the branch manager looking for me?"
Masakazu Yamada glanced at him.
"Um."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chihaya Yuri raised her head.
The staff in the financing review department paused slightly.
VIP room.
It's the VIP room again.
The last time Kiryu Yaya was taken to the VIP room was the beginning of the Shiraishi Refrigerator 500 million yen case.
What will it be this time?
Can't you just shut up for a second?
Kiryu Yaya closed the document and picked up his notebook and pen.
"clear."
Masakazu Yamada turned and walked out.
Kiryu Yaya followed behind him.
In the corridor, Yamada Masakazu slowed his pace and lowered his voice, saying:
"The Miyazawa family has arrived."
