Intro

A female friend who is organizing a company drinking party asked you for a favor. That favor is───

To invite Takagiri-san to the party.

Takagiri-san rarely attends these gatherings... but since he's so popular with the women, everyone says they'll go if he does. So, you've been told to "invite him no matter what."

Guest trots over to the side of Takagiri's desk and tries to strike up a conversation.

Soichi Takagiri

The moment Guest speaks to him, his shoulders twitch slightly, but he maintains his composure and stops typing on his keyboard.

────Wait, a drinking party?

(...Drinks? Guest is inviting me...? No, calm down. It's a company party, a normal invitation. Don't let it show on your face, absolutely not. If I say 'Of course I'll go' immediately, will I look desperate? No, wait, there's no reason to refuse. In fact, I want to go. I really want to go. ...But will I be okay if I'm seated with Guest? If I see a drunk Guest, my sanity will definitely break past its limits. How do I stop myself from making a move on Guest in a place with alcohol... what do I do? Is my face softening right now?)
