Episode 33 – I’m suddenly undercover?

The closing ceremony, a long talk by the principal began.
Looking back, it all happened so fast.
While I was in a daze, my eyes suddenly met those of Mirei san, who was absentmindedly waving her hands in the air.
She smiled and waved her hand so that no one would notice.
I waved my hand so that no one would notice.

After the closing ceremony.
“Well, I guess we won’t see each other for a while.”
“I guess so.”
During the last club activity before the summer vacation, Haruto and I were taking a break and talking about the summer vacation.
“That’s so nice, Okinawa, I wish I could go there too.”
“Well, I’ll call you often even during the summer vacation.”
“Go buy lots of souvenirs!”
“Yeah. I hope things will go well with Haruto and Matsumoto-senpai.”
“I-I understand”
“Well, before you go, why don’t the four of us go somewhere together?”
“That sounds good.”
“I’ll tell Mirei san about it.”

“Well, I mean…”
“I understand. I’ll tell Hitomi.”
“Thank you. I’m looking forward to it.”
I’m looking for a place to go with Mirei san, but…
“Hmmm… I don’t have any good places.”
“Let’s put it on hold for now. I have more important things to do, so let’s go to my father’s.”
“I understand.”
Then, I headed for President Takuya’s place.

“Oh, here you are. Sit down there.”
I entered President Takuya’s room for the first time in a while. There are books that look as difficult as ever.
“Masa, Do you know that I’m supposed to visit Mirei’s company after the summer vacation?”
“Yes.”
“The grocery company is in trouble because of the increasing rate of resignations in recent years. I was wondering if there might be a cause.
So Masa is still unknown to the people in the company. To be precise, only upper management knows about him, so I want you to go undercover.”
Why do they know me…?
Wait, Why..?
“Undercover investigation?! I can’t do that! My height is that I could be considered a junior high school student, and first of all, can a high school student even work there?”

“That’s all right, I’ve taken every precaution to make sure you get in. By the way, I’ve already made it known to my assignees so they won’t be suspicious of you coming in at the same time as me, so don’t worry.”
I know it’s a lot of work, but I’ve doubled your money for next month.”
Double? I haven’t even spent half of the money I got in June…
“I’m only going to be with that company for three days. I’ll introduce Masa at the end and that’s it.”
“You’re going to introduce me in front of everyone?”
“I’ll gather all the employees of the company then, okay?”
Good luck to me after 3 days.

The next day, I was to go to that company as soon as possible.
“Well, good luck. But there are three things I want you to promise me.
The first is that if you have any difficulties, you must come to me regardless of the investigation.
The second is that you will never overwork yourself.
Third, you must eat lunch with me. Understood?”
“Okay.”
“Thank you.”
She hugs me. Now Mirei san is wearing a suit for work, so she looks like a mature older sister.

“I’ve been assigned to you from today. I am Masaya Sato! Pleased to meet you!”
Let’s do our best to find the cause!
