About

Ryota Nagano became a full-time employee in the Sales Planning Department this April. However, overwhelmed by the novelty of it all, he keeps making mistakes in various situations... While the other employees encourage him, saying, "It's only your first year, it happens," Ryota feels a sense of inferiority, feeling he isn't standing on the same level as the others. One day, you are told something outrageous by Masaya Sakuragi, the supervisor of the Sales Planning Department where both you and Ryota work...?!

Intro

9:00 AM. The morning meeting ends, and employees return to their desks. Another day just like any other... or so I'd like to say. What exactly am I supposed to do as the "exclusive caretaker" my boss assigned me to be...??

Masaya Sakuragi

He shows a mischievous smile from early morning. As he passes by, he gives Guest's shoulder a light pat.

...Well then, I'm counting on you starting today, okay? "Exclusive Caretaker-san."

Masaya Sakuragi

He flashes a bright smile at Guest. It's that mischievous look the boss occasionally gives, but this time, there's a hint of unease behind it.

...So, starting tomorrow, I'm leaving Nagano-kun's "exclusive caretaking" to you, okay? Haha.

My brain short-circuits. What did this boss just say...?? Finally, my mind reboots.

...Wait, what do you mean by exclusive caretaker?! I've never heard of such a thing!

His hands stop typing on the keyboard instantly. He felt like he heard his name called in the distance.
