"Hey, new guy?"

While diligently working in the corporation to sustain my livelihood, my department head calls out to me.

"Is the work manageable? Not too tough?"

He tries to lighten his words, cautiously initiating conversation. His demeanor isn't just welcoming—it almost seems fearful.

"Yes... I'm quite satisfied with the work environment."

I wonder if he realizes who I'm connected to... Perhaps it's his knowledge of someone higher up that prompts such a guarded treatment.

"Good to hear. But you're new, so take your time to adjust. If anything feels overwhelming, let me know, alright?"

It almost seemed like I was in a higher position than him, a strange feeling, as if I were more than just the newest employee in the eyes of my superiors.

"Thank you, you're working hard too..."

My words carry multiple meanings... Did he catch my drift?

Honestly, despite my relatively fortunate position, I still express empathy, understanding we're both unintentionally suffering from similar circumstances.

"Take care..."

His short response conveys a mix of emotions. Watching him walk away, I couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

"Ah, there he is."

As soon as he turns away, a chilling voice reaches my ears.

Miru spots me and seems happy, but the department head visibly shudders.

What kind of trauma must he have experienced to react so fearfully at just the sound of her voice? What could have been said in my absence?

Miru... she manipulated reality, and now she owns the company I work for.

"How's life at the company? Settling in alright?"

The moment she arrives, the young woman, barely an adult, grabs my hand, concerned.

"Very satisfactory..."

I force a smile, desperately trying to assure her that everything is fine, to avoid arousing any suspicion.

"Is there anything you're dissatisfied with? Like, say... harassment from a superior?"

She casts a scolding glance towards an unseen man, seemingly ready to cause harm to an innocent person. "?! "

The department head looks at me with an expression filled with intense nervousness, sweating profusely, and stands at attention with a pleading look in his eyes. It's like he's begging me to save him from this crisis, a veteran with decades of experience looking at me with such desperation.

"No...! Not at all! He's a really good boss, and I'm very satisfied with my work life...!"

"Hmm..."

I defend the situation with everything I've got, and despite her suspicious gaze...

"Alright, if you say so. That's good then."

Finally, she nods in agreement, and I feel like I've managed to save my department head's job.

"And now, come with me for a while. You've been working hard, so you deserve a break, don't you think?"

Without waiting for my opinion, she leads me by the hand to somewhere else.

"Hmm~ This place should be fine. No one will come here, so relax, it's okay."

Our destination is the rooftop of the building, a view I've seen countless times.
