Harumizu looked at the girl in front of him, who was new to the "workplace" but still a bit naive.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly remembered what the onboarding training was truly about.
A hint of relief flickered in his eyes, and he secretly praised himself: "I knew that having lived two lives, there must be commonalities!"
Though he thought this internally, Harumizu presented a different demeanor externally.
With a playful tone, he said to Miss Fukada: "Then I'm coming over~"
Harumizu slid his body and sat to Fukada's right, his left arm cooperatively wrapping around the back of her neck, pulling Miss Fukada into his embrace.
Harumizu could even feel Miss Fukada's rapidly beating heart, but he still softly whispered in Miss Fukada's ear:
"If you don't open your eyes, you're really going to be taken advantage of~"
Hearing this, Miss Fukada reacted like a startled cat, suddenly springing up.
She abruptly stood.
In the process, Fukada's right hand grabbed Harumizu's wrist, which was about to intrude, and her left arm twisted back, pressing down on Harumizu's left shoulder.
She used the force of her rising and turning to compensate as much as possible for the difference in their physiques.
A beautiful counter-grappling move thus appeared in the office.
"system prompt"
"The Host's frivolous tone seems to have reminded Miss Fukada of some terrifying memory, leading to Miss Fukada's stress reaction. Miss Fukada's favorability towards the Host -5"
"Fukada Yuu Favorability: 10/100"
"Related Quest: side quest — Miss Fukada's Secret Thoughts"
Of course, all of this was what Harumizu wanted Fukada to experience.
However, after checking this system prompt, he was speechless: "I knew I shouldn't have acted like a pervert..." Harumizu slightly exerted force in his shoulder, and a simple hook of his arm directly pulled Fukada back.
Compared to just now, this time Miss Fukada sat directly in Harumizu's lap, perfectly positioned... It was in this brief moment that Harumizu mused:
"I never thought that the onboarding training I gave to female employees would actually be grappling techniques."
For someone of his height (189cm) and weight (90kg), this stuff was completely useless against him!
"Harumizu-sama, what are you doing?!"
Perhaps due to being in a self-defense mindset, Harumizu had apparently forgotten about Miss Fukada, who was still forced to sit in his lap.
Only after hearing Fukada's delicate complaint did he realize.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fukada, I was a bit distracted just now. My attention has indeed been a bit unfocused lately."
Harumizu quickly released Miss Fukada from his embrace and apologized profusely.
Although there was absolutely no need to apologize, for Harumizu, who had received higher education in his previous life, he believed in being polite to such cute girls.
Not to mention the system's quest bonus.
At this moment, Miss Fukada's face was like a ripe red apple.
After clearly feeling the restraining force lessen, she slightly shifted to move out of Harumizu's embrace and sat back down to the side.
Looking at Miss Fukada's profile, Harumizu momentarily understood the saying: "A maiden's blush is more eloquent than any love poem."
Miss Fukada, having come to her senses, asked with some confusion:
"Department Head, the seniors before said this move was very effective. It's really useful against some guests' wandering hands."
"But why did I... why am I still sitting on your lap?"
Harumizu felt a headache coming on. After his personal test, he suddenly felt that his so-called pre-job training seemed to make female employees even more vulnerable.
After a moment of thought, Harumizu made a decision:
"I think pre-job training can be canceled from now on."
Miss Fukada clearly hadn't expected that her performance would lead Department Head Harumizu to directly cancel this pre-job training.
Thinking she had done something wrong, and remembering the other sisters' praise for Department Head Harumizu, she immediately stood up and bowed in apology:
"I'm sorry, Department Head-sama, did I not do well enough?!"
"I will definitely do my best, but I think pre-job training is really useful for the sisters."
"Please don't cancel the pre-job training!"
Seeing the flustered girl in front of him, Harumizu suddenly didn't know how to comfort her.
Indeed, what female employees needed most when working here was a sense of security.
He had initially thought his clever brain had taken the high ground this time, but after seeing Miss Fukada's reaction, he suddenly felt he might have said the wrong thing.
After appropriately comforting Miss Fukada, Harumizu took out his phone and dialed a number.
Five seconds later, the call connected.
"Come to the office."
"Okay, Harumizu-sama!"
If it weren't for the phone, Harumizu could truly imagine that bowing figure... After Harumizu expressed his confusion, Nissho Taro looked thoughtful, then stood directly in front of the two, as if he had transformed into a different person, responding in a very professional manner:
"It's like this, Harumizu-sama, you might have overlooked a few issues."
Nissho Taro held up one finger:
"First, Harumizu-sama, your physical data is like a god-like existence in all of Tokyo.
So, basically, no guests would be able to easily counter an employee like you can."
Seeing Harumizu nod slightly, Nissho Taro felt an irrepressible joy inside.
He then held up a second finger.
"Second, our main clientele are usually mid-level corporate managers, or even some IT professionals yearning for love, so instances of deliberate groping are rare."
This was indeed something Harumizu hadn't considered before.
Before Harumizu could respond, Nissho Taro held up a third finger.
"Third, you should understand very well that not many people dare to cause trouble here."
After Nissho Taro finished speaking, he gave Fujiwara Shunsui a look, the implied meaning probably being: "You should know!"
At this point, Harumizu actually understood.
"How did I not think of that?"
Harumizu habitually summoned the system interface, looked at his character panel attributes, and clicked the gray "+" sign next to "Intelligence 1" several times.
But there was no reaction.
Improving character Intelligence seemed to be a pressing matter.
"system prompt: Nissho Taro once again felt the Host's trust and promptly demonstrated his professional knowledge to the Host. Favorability +1"
"Nissho Taro Favorability: 87/100"
"Related Quest: Hidden Quest - Nissho Taro's Favor"
No way? This works too?
So, Nissho Taro is just a born worker bee, huh?
If he's not given tasks, he's unhappy, but if you find ways to make him work, his favorability increases.
Could it be that he had discovered a system bug?
He felt that after having Nissho Taro solve his problems a few more times, his first attribute point since transmigrating would be within reach.
Thinking about this, Harumizu was still a little excited, after all, the Intelligence attribute point he had been coveting for so long might soon be upgraded.
Moreover, Harumizu was genuinely curious about what this attribute point upgrade would be like.
Just as Harumizu was about to offer a compliment, the walkie-talkie on Nissho Taro's waist buzzed:
"Manager Risho, it seems there's a problem in private room 003. Please come and take a look!"
