I, Who Was Ridiculed as a “Video Game Otaku and Creepy” and Dumped by My Childhood Friend, Was Actua

Chapter 6

With the Manager

It’s Monday, usually a depressing day, but today time seems to be flying by.

After school, I head to the office.

I take the train and get off at Shibuya, where the office is located.

I never get used to this town no matter how many times I come here.

I enter the building where the office is located and take the elevator up.

The elevator stops at the 9th floor and the doors open.

I took my ID card out of my pocket and held it up to the sensor.

I heard a beep, and then the sound of a lock opening.

“Mr. Takamori, we’ve been waiting for you.”

“It’s been a while.”

It had been a long time since I had seen Shirase-san in person.

She has dark brown hair that reaches just below her chest and is slightly wavy at the ends.

She is dressed in office casual attire, but she is still more than beautiful enough.

The distance between me and Shirase-san is about one meter.

Just talking at this distance makes me nervous.

“Let’s go to the conference room, so please come in.”

“Thank you.”

I entered the conference room and sat down on a chair at Shirase-san’s urging.

“There are water, coffee, and brown rice tea. What would you like?”

“Coffee, then.”

“I understand. Black, right?”

“Yes, please.”

“Please wait a moment.”

After saying that, Shirase-san left the conference room.

After waiting a few minutes, she came back with two cups in her hands.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

I took the iced coffee from Shirase-san and took a sip.

“Then again, thank you very much for coming today.”

Shirase-san bowed her head lightly.

“No, it’s fine.”

“Now then, there are two things I would like to discuss with Takamori-san.”

“Yes.”

“The first is about Rio Natsume. The other party wants to meet you once before playing the game in collaboration.”

“Yes, I agree with that.”

It is easier to play the game if we know each other and what kind of person we are.

Especially in a FPS game like the one we are playing, you need to be able to coordinate with each other.

You can’t see the other person’s facial expressions on the phone.

I want to get to know each other first by actually meeting and talking.

“I also wanted to meet Rio-san, so it was perfect.”

“I understand. Then, please leave the scheduling to me.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Now, the other one, there’s been some talk about sharing the proceeds with the person in the company who does the clipping of Takamori-san.”

“I think it’s a good idea.”

The clippings have been done until now under the condition that they are not monetized.

However, if we make it official, we can split the revenue between me and the clippers.

It would be a win-win situation for both parties.

“Thank you very much. I will work out the detailed conditions and send it to you separately.”

“I will be waiting.”

“That’s all I have to discuss with you, but would you mind talking with me a little longer?”

Shirase-san smiled and said, “That’s all I have to discuss with you.

If there is a man in this world who can say that he disagrees after being told that by someone with that look on her face, I’m going to give him a round of applause.

“It’s fine. It’s fun to talk with you, Shirase-san.”

“I’m glad.”

From there, Shirase-san and I had a chat about nothing else.

I realized that we had been talking for at least an hour.

I looked outside and saw that it was starting to get a little dark.

“I should get going.”

“I’m sorry I seemed to have held you up. Please have a safe trip home.”

“Yes, thank you very much for today.”

After saying that, I left the office.
