Chapter 94 – Episode 13. I Went on a Business Trip With a Female Boss I Disliked, and the Hotel I Booked Only Had One Room.
“But what kind of person is Nagumo Xian? I heard that he was selected directly by the chairman…”
On the way to the restaurant, I asked Kinichiro Matsuhira about Nagumo Sian. Like the other three successors, I asked Nagumo Xian in order to avoid being disliked, even if I didn’t look good.
“Hmm… ! To put it in one word, Nagumo Xian is like a monster.”
What is this guy talking about? If you were the president of a subsidiary of the Tyra Group, you would be able to blow away a letter of application from a branch of the Human Resources Development Center with just a snort. But isn’t that a monster with a swollen liver?
“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t mean that in a strange way, but I don’t know his exact age, but his face is the same 20 years ago when he was running a small company called Kanmido, 15 years ago when he became the president of Taira Foods, and even now that his hair has turned gray. I’m not getting old at all. That’s why Nagumo’s nickname is Akita’s Youkai. Of course, he doesn’t like it when I call him to his face…”
Oh, you never get old? Nagumo Xian probably ate the eye fruit. If there is no change between 20 years ago and now, I think the effect of Juangwa is quite great… I gave it to my woman and I was curious as I also ate one.
Kinichiro Matsuhira drove the rental car we had driven according to what he entered into the navigation system. Kinichiro Matsuhira never stopped talking while driving. He told me a lot of information I didn’t know, but it wasn’t really helpful.
The restaurant we arrived at was not a very high-end restaurant. In fact, the sushi restaurant we went to for lunch seemed more upscale.
According to Kinichiro Matsuhira, Sian Nagumo preferred public restaurants to full-fledged high-end restaurants. He says it’s because he is the president of a food company that studies the public’s tastes. So, the reservation for this restaurant was said to be between a public restaurant and a luxury restaurant.
Fortunately, I was able to arrive at 7:20, ten minutes before the scheduled time of 7:30. We entered the restaurant and sat in our reserved seats. There was no one there, as if Nagumo Xian had not arrived.
Our group sat at a square table, each occupying one side. About five minutes after we sat down, the restaurant door opened and a woman came in. She was a beautiful woman, her gray hair shiny and dressed in her fine kimono. Her age seemed to be in her late twenties or early thirties, and I thought that the woman who had just entered was Nagumo Shian.
Matsuhira Kinichiro said that Nagumo Shian had an incredibly young face for her age, but she never said that she was this beautiful. She was a beautiful woman with an elegance and a somewhat bewitching aura, and her body was as explosive as Yukiko’s.
“Hello, Nagumo. I haven’t seen her in a while and I can’t tell you how much I missed her. Nagumo probably doesn’t know how happy I am to be able to meet Nagumo like this thanks to the Human Resources Development Center’s gratitude. And I…”
“Stop it. You still talk a lot, Matsuhira. And you… “He is Saburo’s son.”
“Hello, Nagumo. “My name is Taira Ryuta.”
After interrupting Kinichiro Matsuhira, Shian Nagumo immediately looked at me and recognized my identity. Do I really look like Taira Saburo? Personally, I thought I looked like Ms. Jin Mi-ja.
“And this one… ?”
“This is Chisami Suzuki, deputy leader of the Human Resources Development Institute’s Educational Support Team 2.”
Without being embarrassed, Chisami Suzuki also said hello. Nagumo Xian looked at me with warm eyes and opened his mouth.
“As you may know, I am Nagumo Xian. He’s the president of Tyra Foods. Don’t believe anything this idiot Matsuhira says. “Because he talks a lot, is good at exaggerating, and is a big braggart.”
I don’t think Nagumo Cian is very fond of glaring at Matsuhira Kinichiro, but Matsuhira Kinichiro is being sarcastic haha, Nagumo-sama! And moved on.
“I’m afraid the job as Master didn’t work out. I’ve known you for fifteen years, and I’ve seen your father since he was in his mid-twenties. “You really resemble Saburo back then.”
“Is that so? I thought she looked more like her mother, but everyone said she looked more like her father.”
There’s no need to ruin the mood by answering, ‘Actually, I don’t really know because I only see my father as a corpse.’ So I answered as I usually thought.
“You may not know, but Saburo looks similar to when he was young. Of course you are much more handsome…”
“This guy was definitely handsome.”
We each ate happily, chatting with each other. Nagumo Sian led the meal with such skill that even the blunt Chisami Suzuki was entertained.
As I was having fun, I ended up having a few drinks at the meal. I refused, saying I had to drive, but Nagumo Sian offered to hire me as a driver and made me drink. I didn’t get drunk because my resistance stat was high, but Chisami Suzuki and Kinichiro Matsuhira got so drunk that they couldn’t control themselves due to the continued exchange of drinks. Nagumo Xian seemed very excited when I followed his drinking habits.
After some time had passed and Matsuhira and Suzuki Chisami had collapsed on the table and fainted, Nagumo Sian spoke.
“But what didn’t Matsuhira say?”
“There was a lot of talk, but I don’t remember anything in particular. Ah, Nagumo-sama was called Akita’s youkai.”
In return for talking until my ears bled, I told Nagumo Sian some of the things Kinichiro Matsuhira had told him that Nagumo Sian would not like.
“Hmm… ! It wasn’t the story I expected… The problem with Matsuhira is that her mouth is too light. She might be surprised, so I’ll tell her. Something will happen to Matsuhira’s life tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. “You and your group won’t get hurt, so don’t worry.”
It seemed like he was talking a lot, so it seemed like he was spreading the secrets of Tyra’s group here and there. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I knew something would happen to Kenichiro Matsuhira while we were there.
Tyra Group was also a very scary company. What can you actually do if you say something wrong? Thinking about it another way, I thought that if Kinichiro Matsuhira had said a lot, Taira Group would have done things like this.
“Let’s get up now. Next time, come find me alone. “These two are too weak to drink, so it’s not fun.”
As Nagumo Xian applauded, two sturdy men in suits came in. One of them left the restaurant carrying Kenichiro Matsuhira on her shoulder, and the remaining one stood in front of me.
“I’ll drive you to the hotel.”
“Let’s go, Nagumo eldest sister.”
“Eldest sister? Ho ho ho! “You’re good at flattery.”
Rather than flattery, it was awkward because I was too young to call her Grandma Nagumo, so I called her aunt, and it seemed like I scored quite a bit of points. Would I have liked it more if I had called her my sister?
“I was going to call her sister because she looked so young, but I held back.”
“Ho ho ho! I didn’t know you could make me laugh this much. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Nagumo Xian smiled happily and went out. I also helped Chisami Suzuki and got into the rental car that the driver called by Nagumo Shian had started and was preparing.
“Please go to the Iceville Hotel.”
Although it wasn’t as heavy as Hokkaido, Akita Prefecture was also famous for a lot of snow. Perhaps that is why many hotel names have themes such as ice or snow, such as Iceville. Since it was a hotel close to the Human Resources Development Institute Kitahoku branch, it was also close to a restaurant.
After moving for about 5 minutes, we parked in the hotel parking lot and got off.
“Here’s the key.”
“Thank you.”
The driver gave me the keys, nodded and disappeared. What is that guy going to ride back home? Rather than that, I was more worried about Chisami Suzuki, who I was supporting. Chisami Suzuki came and we didn’t have a company dinner, so I finally found out about Chisami Suzuki’s drinking capacity. She was a bit drunk.
I arrived at the hotel lobby with my bag, Chisami Suzuki’s bag, and Chisami Suzuki. It wasn’t heavy, but since I only had two hands, it was very difficult to support two suitcases and a person.
“I made a reservation with Taira Ryutaro.”
“Yes, I will help guide you to room 703.”
Huh? Why are you asking for only one room? As the hotel staff tried to kindly guide me, I opened my mouth urgently.
“Wait a minute! I… “I reserved two rooms?”
“Yes? “Can you please wait a moment?”
The receptionist went into the inner office after telling me to wait, and after a while, he came back to the information desk with a very sorry expression on his face. It wasn’t my fault after all. I had obviously reserved two rooms.
“Sorry, sir! “Due to our mistake, only one room was booked.”
“Is the bed in the room I booked big enough for two people to sleep?”
“Yes, yes! “It’s big enough for two people to sleep in.”
“Then I’ll just sleep.”
Because I was a little tired, the receptionist did not argue and when I told her I would just sleep in one room, the receptionist bowed at a right angle and thanked me. When I handed out my card to pay for the room, they said it was their mistake and gave me a 50% discount. Since it was a corporate card, it didn’t matter whether I got a discount or not, but it still felt good to get a discount.
After many twists and turns, I entered the room and threw Chisami Suzuki on the bed. It was Chisami Suzuki who opened her eyes only after being thrown onto the bed.
“Umm… Here is?”
“It’s a hotel room, assistant team leader.”
At my words, Chisami Suzuki looked around her, noticed something strange about her, pointed at me, and opened her mouth.
“Why am I in the same room as you?”
