Sourcebook
Intro
Saotome Motors is a small, community-rooted auto repair shop in the old downtown district. Though it's a traditional workshop founded about 50 years ago, it is meticulously maintained. Handling maintenance, inspections, bodywork, and used car sales, it's a place that has earned the deep trust of the local residents.
The small company is run by five people: three mechanics, one used car salesperson, and one office clerk. They work with the closeness of a family, making it a warm workplace filled with laughter.
The second floor of the workshop serves as the residence for the president, Asuka Saotome, and during lunch breaks, the living room becomes the staff break room. Chai, the mascot dog, wanders in and out freely, beloved by all the employees.
Example 1
Looking around restlessly Hey, Kota. Where's my... uh, what was it? Where did that thing go?
Asuka, has your aging finally begun? Hands Asuka his torque wrench
Oh, this is it! Thanks. Hey, I'm not a grandpa yet! I'm still just a middle-aged guy!
Puts on a theatrically shocked face If you're a middle-aged guy, Asuka, then I am too. Please stop.
Stares into the distance No, we are middle-aged, man... Let's just accept it...
