Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

At the entrance to Conference Room 2, you will receive an ordered lunch box and a 350-millimetre green tea pet bottle and sit at the empty table lined up.

This is the first lunch meeting after a major team restructuring and fine business alignment.

We still have a lot of time to get started, but most seats are already filled.

Nevertheless, since only the representatives and their supporters are there, the number itself is not large.

Although.

"... but it has increased.So now you're here, and the team of "backsmiths."

Whitestone Specialty Steel Laboratory's confidential project "Back Blacksmith".

Due to repeated expansion and integration and the spread of branches to various operations, considerable resources have been devoted to this project.

Naturally, the increase in personnel to do it is inevitable, and the department responsible for putting it together has to be increased.

It would be correct to organize before it was too many to pack up.

Peel off the film of the cooking lunch and open the lid.

A special Shokunouchi lunch box that adds a bit of the originality of the maker to the classic Shokunouchi lunch.The price is 1,200 yen including tax.

Speaking of station valves, is it the upper price range inside?

The sprinkle and the sesame salt are placed on the rice that has been shaped.The main dish is the salmon grilled in Saikyo.Otherwise, they cook potatoes and squid, and in the space that hits the small bowl, they have spring rain and mushroom vinegar, sesame mushrooms of gobo, and chicken cutlet wrapped in sauce stuck into the skewer.A table with orange and small cherry blossom syrup in dessert.

It's not a bad lunch, but it's not much of an adventure.

Still, the maker's lunch is delicious.

Because it is a lunch meeting, it is not the usual company food.

There is nothing to complain about if the flavour will be good even if one meal floats.

Gently put your hands together and stretch out the chopsticks with the back of the lid.

Salmon grilled in Saikyo is loosened when pinched with chopsticks.

"That's right.At the very least, it's okay to say that there is no department in this building that is not involved in Knight related equipment.Well, I'm not making any noise because it's not open to the public about what it's about. "

"You mean Kobayashi-san's arm?I just want to avoid information leaks. "

"It's a mistake. When you get up, you have to be careful."

"It's just the people in charge of the core team.I can't imagine how big the business is. "

Next to me is a subordinate spreading a small lunch box that he brought from his own house.

The other day, Ise and Ultimate, president of Design Hatake Corporation, were arguing over the design of a shield dedicated to the Knight of Light Speed following the Heavy Shield.

"Although it's good that our Shield development team wasn't so overhauled, the weapons-related team moved quite a bit.And then there was the auxiliary equipment, and the development funds...Look, that bucket motorcycle. The Rosinante, tentatively? "

"Ah, that's it...Why did you choose that name? "

"It's a suggestion from the person.If I asked you to name it, it would be perfect. "

"... the spirit of anachronistic knighthood.The other Persona is also a clown.Ironically, if they say so.Will it be with Whit or Black Joke?Or is it just self-oppression?Nevertheless, Rosinante and I are performing similarly to skinny horses.... well, that kind of performance makes my team cheat. "

"Especially a mechanical engineering researcher, right?You really like people, don't you?

Bring paku and Saikyo-yaki to your mouth.

The loose body releases a unique sweetness in the mouth.

A bowl of rice before it disappears.

The fragrance of shiso falls off my nose.

Turn to the ceiling while feeling it.

"Just think of Kaji, Hayashi, Shinmura and Tayo...Looks like a conflict over division change, those guys. "

"... well, I like those guys."

This lab, a little behind Yamanote, naturally has no choice but to commute by private car or motorcycle, in addition to fine transportation such as buses.

All four of the aforementioned people are motorcycle commuters.In addition, all their favorite cars were acquired not by normal specifications.

I don't know if they're right, but they loved getting it.

Well, I hope you stayed.

"It's a mistake. It didn't accumulate when I was able to get out at this time.It's finally time to select the components for anti-air and mix the paint, so it's time for prototyping. "

An employee picks a mini tomato from his lunch box in a good mood.

"Is there any other reason why you're in such a good mood?

Hmm. Well, I'm glad I won the competition.I was able to go through my plan. "

"The losing side came out of the good stuff."

The final competition decision was decided by secret ballot with the participation of the heads of other departments, him, and the Shiraishi Group's security department.

That was last week when the military junta rose to their team with six votes from the production team, four votes from the Ultimate team, and one abstention.

Incidentally, it was supposed to be an odd eleven votes so as not to break, but there is a history that even one person abstained on the grounds that he/she "seems mentally tired”.

Well, the difference was good as a result.

If they were divided into five votes, they would have had to ask the abstainer for his opinion at a later date.

Above all, the waiver is the only end user.

The person said, "General soldiers are monkeys who move according to what they receive."

Sometimes they say things like old Japanese soldiers during the war.

"But the next demo is going to be our version!

Smile and laugh with a very happy expression.

The handle of the original shield was completely broken, and I tried to repair it.However, there are strange metals in the fractured part that cannot be analyzed here, and it is subtle whether they have been completely repaired.

The analysis was convenient, and during yesterday's joint training, neither the prototype nor the soldier's shield (repair version) was in time.

It was a great opportunity for the Knight of Light to test him during his training.

"Ah"

You can see Ise, the designer of Ultimate Team Co., Ltd., who was currently in the topic in front of them, receiving lunch at the entrance.

The gaze staggered Ise's gaze, wandering to find an empty seat.

"... mmm"

Ise looked a little disgraced, but would you walk here with that look on your face?

I walked slowly with my lunch and paper files.

As he approached him with a slender face, a subordinate who followed his lunch beside him smiled.

Fufu

"Don't incite me, you idiot."

Pay attention by lightly placing your feet under the table on a subordinate who is slightly cheeky and mighty.

However, this engineer talks to the designer who lost the competition the other day.

"Good work, Ise-san.Are you tired?

"Oh, I was staring at the monitor all day yesterday, and it was sometime this morning.Is there room next door?

"Yes, go ahead."

Gah, pull the chair to welcome Ise.

The man under his command also sits with a lunch box and a pancake file.

The boss wonders how it would be if the two competitors would sit side by side in the competition until recently.

Ise's men who were thinking the same thing had similar expressions.

When I started to wonder what would happen, Ise snapped.

"... what I was asked to do the day before yesterday"

"Yes, yes."

Ise gives the paper file to her while she is eating.

It seems to be a little tired though.

"I also checked the final data you gave me.... I've reworked the details so that they don't have any impact on specs.Also, this competition proposal and your proposal's cooperation platform.... I managed to finish just the image painting. "

"Thank you! I knew you'd want me to join your full-time job."

"If you're asking for a job, why don't you do it in person?I didn't think I'd be spoken to verbally at the reunion. "

"Ahahaha.Let's do it this time. "

I wonder if there will be a swallowing conversation, or not so much.

No, rather a friendly conversation.

"Hey, when did you ask Ise-san to do that?Ise-san hasn't been here in the last few days. "

"Ah, we went out for a drink together in the city.Look, it's the one who celebrated the victory. "

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"Don't say that, don't say that!The first party is split, but I paid for the karaoke of the second party. "

"Assuming the cost of the whole by morning is the work on this file, I think it's pretty boring."

I'm listening carefully.

After opening the lunch box, Ise proceeded to eat it.

After all, they are both in the same hole.

Though you may wonder about the outcome of the competition, it does not ultimately change that you are a fellow participant in the Knight of Light project.

Results generated in the competition will naturally be verified and picked up if beneficial.

Beyond finishing a one-off bespoke item, any small idea can be useful information.

Speaking of which, the shielding team has been fortified, but I don't know what will happen with this “next version”.It is possible that Ultimate's opinion will be added to the plan adopted.

The two, whose ultimate goal was to support the Knight of Light Speed, were good rivals who influenced each other in that way.

"... I'm the assistant chief.Look at me like that. "

"No, nothing."

I wonder if it's going well.

I'll go to dinner alone.

Relationships aren't bad, and there's no information leaking outside.

Young, and no nasty fences.

I was envious of what was going on.
