The Key to a Breakthrough

“Why…?”

This is weird… I thought I was right with that one…

“Senpai~ You’ve got wrinkles between your eyebrows.”

Rei-chan, who was sitting next to me, touched me between my eyebrows. Rei-chan, not as a kid, but the 20-year-old one.

… In other words, this is the present. What happened? I want you to guess.

I’m currently inside an HRG company meeting room with Rei-chan.

When I let out a huge sigh, Rei-chan grabbed my hand.

“Do you want to touch my thighs? Will you feel better like that?”

“That’s not the problem…”

I inadvertently glanced at Rei-chan’s thighs for a second. Since it’s part time work, she was wearing a short skirt today since casual clothing was okay. Such beautiful legs…!

“Wah. You’re really looking at my legs… Kufu, Senpai, you pervert ♡”

That’s right, I’m a pervert. Sorry about that.

“Senpai, you’re so stiff, even when I invite you, you never pounce on the chance… I don’t even care about who you like either. If you want to do it, just let me know, okay…?”

Don’t whisper into my ear like that. It made my heart skip a beat there. I was thinking that she said something quite mature, but I guess since she’s twenty right now, she must have a mental age of thirty by now.

While I was still making a difficult expression, Rei-chan pursed her lips as if bored.

“Geez, weren’t you ever taught that it’s shameful for a man to reject a meal set before him?”

“I was taught that. However, I was never taught to eat a poisonous meal that’s set before me.”

“Kyaah ♪ If it can’t be medicine then poison it is. You really do understand me ♪”

I grabbed the face of the poisonous Rei-chan as she tried to kiss me and distanced myself from her.

The last time, and the time before that, I had broken up with the present Hiiragi-chan.

Rei-chan had said that it was because my hesitation had caused her to worry, and so I thought me not doing anything was the reason for that.

However, that was wrong. This time, I have also broken up with the present Hiiragi-chan.

“I really made an effort to put myself out there… So why is it like this? Did that really have nothing to do with it…?”

“Ah, Senpai. It’s about time for the meeting, so I’ll head back.”

After saying bye, Rei-chan left the meeting room. In exchange, Natsumi-chan came in with documents and a laptop under her arm.

The adult version of Natsumi-chan was wearing black-rimmed glasses, and her impression was much like that of her mother, Airi-san. After turning around to look back at Rei-chan, she spoke.

“You aren’t doing something weird at work, are you?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Ever since high school, for some reason, she’s always following you.”

Natsumi-chan handed me a portion of the documents she brought in.

About the Mobile Content Division

In the present, it wasn’t just a department, but a whole division. Earlier, I confirmed the situation with Rei-chan, but I’m currently one of Natsumi-chan’s subordinates.

Moreover, I haven’t married yet, and am still just Sanada Seiji. Natsumi-chan is a new young manager of the division. I’m the assistant manager. Even so, there are only a few other people in the division other than me.

The meeting room phone rang, and Natsumi-chan quickly picked it up.

“Yeah, okay. I got it. Please guide them to the conference room on the sixth floor.”

It seems to be an internal call, as after saying that, she hung up.

I also confirmed the situation with Natsumi-chan. It seems that the acquisition plan has already been approved and the developer company, Acty Softworks is already under the umbrella of HRG.

As we were talking, the door to the conference room opened.

“… Excuse me.”

She lowered her head in a bow. The person in charge of ASW, Ii-san or rather, Kanata has arrived. Even after becoming an adult nothing has changed about her…
