Choromatsu had been welcomed in Flag Corporation by the alternate version of Jyushimatsu's girlfriend, as well as a smaller girl that was as big as Chibita, maybe even taller. He had dressed in his formal attire and tried to keep walking straight, ignoring the fact that he was sweating out of nervousness. As he went towards the elevator at the end of the room, he was greeted kindly by employees, but was still being followed by Homura and Hana. They were his escorts, apparently. Was Ichi like this to anyone he hired?

"Don't be so nervous, Choromatsu-san." Homura patted his shoulder gently. She remembered being such an anxious mess like Choromatsu before. It gave her a sense of nostalgia. "I was like that too, when I was getting ready for an interview with Sir Ichi! He might look like the strict type, but once you're in, he'll most likely play chess with you during your break, heehee! Also, there's free coffee and cakes all the time!"

"Yeah! Plus, you two seem to get along! You're both level-headed and workaholics! Haha, just remember to relax once in a while, alright? Don't want your brothers getting worried now, yup!" Hana chirped, swinging her arms. "You're a bit like Choro-san, you know? So classy and civilized! But don't try to force an image you can't keep, alright? As long as you do good in your job, President Ichi doesn't really care if you 'act' professional or not! How do you think I haven't been fired yet?"

Hana and Homura were giving him a sense of peace, thankfully, and once they exited the elevator, greeted the other employees, and walked in Ichi's office. The president seemed to be playing a song at his piano, and only stopped upon hearing Hana's loud voice.

He stood over quickly and adjusted his glasses. Such grace, Choromatsu thought. Ichi was truly different from Ichimatsu; much more professional too! "Well.. you made it. Just in time too." Ichi checked his watch for emphasis. "Very well. Homura, Hana. You two may leave now. Shut the door. Matsuno Choromatsu, do take a seat."

Choromatsu sat down there, eager for the interview to start; he was finally going to get a job, and in another dimension, no less! Plus, this company payed a lot to their employees, and he was good friends with the president! Then he could finally settle down and become independent, find a cute girl to marry, have two kids, a boy and a girl, and-

Ichi suddenly dropped his papers. "What is that?!" He pointed at the window.

Choromatsu turned to see what Ichi was pointing at. Ah.

It was his self-awareness, a large glowing green ball of his pride.

"Oh dear.." Choromatsu muttered. He saw Ichi suddenly leave his room to yell at his employees about the upcoming apocalypse.

Damn it, I should have left this at home instead!
