EP. 16: Morita and Hayashi. (3)

&

After some thought, I returned to the Development Team 1 and briefly summoned Mr. Kawaguchi to the break room.

“What do you think? What do you think of these two? ”

“I like you both very much. Mauritata is already a character designer that Amano recognizes, and Hayashi is also very resourceful. I also learned a lot from people who are in the field. ”

“Right? I can assure you, they are a valuable addition to the Psychic Battle. But...”

“Is there a problem? ”

“I'm worried that our mintendo is not aligned with the direction we're going. Mauritata has excellent skills, but her skills are limited to female characters, Hayashi has excellent coding skills, but she has poor relationships with her employees. I mean, is it a certain way of saying things? ”

“Oh, I know what you mean. ”

“So I want to ask Kawaguchi first. Why don't we take them directly to the Pentagon Soft? ”

“Yes?”

“They're a waste to keep in mintendo. Mintendo now has a lot of programmers and character designers around him. If you leave it like that, it will rust your skills. Mauritata is going to be part of the Dongking Com project next month.”

“The character designer who Amano praises is Dongking Com? I don't think that's right.”

“Kawaguchi thinks the same as I do. ”

“We're working on the final days of the Final Frontier, so we're a little short on hands.”

“Then we might have a better chance with each other.”

“I welcome you both to the Pentagon with open arms. I'm just wondering if I can get more staff while you're gone.”

“You can join your attorney as before. Final Frontier 2 will also be available soon, so you won't have to worry too much about it. ”

“Um... okay. But shouldn't they be listening to their doctors? Will we be satisfied with the Pentagon for a large company called Mintendo?”

“I'll talk about it separately. Would you mind calling Hayashi and Maurita over here when you get back to the development room? ”

“Yes, I'll do that. ”

Kawaguchi nodded to me and went back to the development room.

And after a while. Maurita and Hayashi enter the break room together.

“Sir, there you are. I thought he'd just disappeared and left us behind. ”

“I can't believe I did that. How was the Pentagon Soft? ”

Maurita raises her thumb and replies.

“Excellent. It was really nice to meet you too, Amano. Other employees were kind, small, but not in Mintendo, like a family. ”

That's it... You must feel like family since your teacher is here. I nodded in response to Morita and asked Hayashi.

“How's Hayashi? ”

In my question, Hayashi swept up her glasses and took a few moments.

“At least it's not the work atmosphere where you tell jokes and tell jokes. Kawaguchi seems to have a great vibe, and most of all, it feels like an organized office so I can focus on my work. ”

“That... in short, you like the Pentagon Soft? ”

“Well, in a nutshell. ”

“Okay, I just talked to Kawaguchi, and he seems to like you both. Pentagon Soft is a small company, unlike Minten. There's only one successful final-frontier series in the world today. ”

Then Morita and Hayashi asked me with a embarrassing look.

“Are you suggesting that... you offer us a job? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“But this is a little...”

It wasn't that I didn't understand their reaction. Age difference is rare, but it is never common for a supervisor at the same job to propose to a different job.

Especially if I wanted to join Tokyo's Pentagon Soft in Kyoto, I had to move my house, so it wasn't just me. But since they're both single, it shouldn't be that hard to move the house...

Like Mintendo, Pentagon Soft also pays half the rent for officetels for temples. All that's left is their guts.

Morita then opens her mouth slowly with a distinctive slow tone.

“I... will move it. ”

“Hey, Morita, you...”

“I've actually been feeling it since before. I couldn't paint a painting to suit Mintendo's tastes. It was a difficult company, but every time it came back to me, it was just a little item or background work. But I thought that one day, if I drew a character through the gap, I would have a chance. But my team only draws dirty paintings, so I thought I'd give up because I was too distant from my coworkers. And in the meantime, when he wanted to build a psychic battle together, I was frankly very happy. I thought I finally had someone who recognized me. I had the most fun last year, when I started a psychic battle in Mintendo for four years. I thought it was a bit of a possibility... but I ended up back where I was. ”

“Mauritata's character design is excellent. I think it's all thanks to Morita that the Psychic Battle is so popular. ”

“Thank you, sir. With this psychic battle going on, I also thought I should paint the painting that I wanted. Pentagon Soft has my teacher, Amano, and I want to work here and draw more characters that I want.”

Okay, first of all, we captured one of the original character designers, and then how do we get the other one, this rigid coding machine? “

Unlike Morita, Hayashi was as good as Minten, but he admitted to being a programmer, so it was not easy for him to move on.

“So Mauritata is decided, and... what are you going to do about Hayashi? ”

“I think I need to think about it for a moment. ”

“Yes. I'm not suggesting we transfer to Pentagon Soft right now. Please think about it slowly and tell me separately. The Pentagon is a small company compared to Mintendo, but it's never bad for welfare. Moreover, they won't be treated as bad as they would be brought from Mintendo. Mr. Hayashi, did you know that the Pentagon Soft Development Team is currently empty? ”

“A development team is empty? ”

“Mr. Hayashi, if you're good, you'll be in charge of the team leader when the next soft development enters. ”

“Am I... the team leader? ”

Okay, I'm shaking. I'm shaking.

Hayashi was a cold-hearted person, but he was not unambitious.

Hayashi's work with interpersonal relationships could have been better off with solitary confinement and coding, or having employees below her at all heights.

Of course, the people who work for him are a bit pitiful, but Hayashi is not one to interfere if he's good at his job.

“But wouldn't it be a little hard to get into the final frontier we're working on? ”

“Don't worry about it. because if you both get here, you're going to be on a new project. ”

“The new Pentagon Soft project? ”

“Well, the name of the project is still unknown, but...”

I took a few moments and said it later.

“Have you two... ever been in a relationship? ”

Morita and Hayashi both became deaf and mute.

Tsk, tsk... It's not my place to say, but I remember my life before I time slipped.
