I fell into the world of cyberpunk games

[Recognizing ID… .]

[Recognized. Employee code DC117095, Aaron Nakamura. Nice to meet you.]

Beyond the gigantic revolving entrance and exit facilities, it crosses the narrow crevice of the expansive ticket gate that appears to be three times the size of a Kabuki monorail platform.

How did I ever come here again?

I walked blankly, pulling my immovable leg with my arm.

If you look up, you can see the endlessly high and far-reaching procession of elevators, the transparent layers of glass.

A disgustingly large number of white-collar workers were working in their own beehives.

They all wear black uniforms according to their style, so they look more like ants than bees.

Feeling somewhat overwhelmed, I cringed and looked at my outfit.

… I was casual. He is dressed in neat and tidy casual clothes, but it is not a suit.

I feel like I’m the only one who is out of place and is bouncing. I can’t raise my face

It was unavoidable because the bar uniform was torn from the day before yesterday and even the spare part.

As I proceeded along the rails on the floor, a guide drone popped out of the air and flashed blue light in front of me.

[Welcome to Gintoki Golden Time Tower, the pinnacle of East Monica, General Temple DC117095.]

“Oh, nice to meet you too.”

DC117095. This is my employee code at Lee Shiho Corporation, which I can’t get used to no matter how much I listen to it.

This code varies depending on the rank, but in my case, it is a regular employee… .

Translated literally, it means that he is the eleventeenth and fifty-fifth employee under Lee Si-ho in Dusk City.

Even considering the fact that I joined the company relatively recently, at least half a year ago.

In Ishiho, this means that here in Dusk City alone, more than 100,000 employees are employed, close to a hundred thousand employees.

It’s a truly jaw-dropping number.

At this point, does it have to be qualified to be called a Megacorp? scale is different.

If this is enough for Si-ho Lee, who is ranked 4th in the overall corporate ranking, it is scary to see what will happen to Valentine, who is in the first place, and Milicia, who is in the second place.

[DC117095 is scheduled for an interview with the VIP on the top floor.]

A guide drone alerted me to my thoughts. I swallowed my saliva at that dry reminder.

There is only one VIP on the top floor of Gintoki Tower, a symbol of Ishiho.

Chairman of the Iron Blood.

He wants to see me.

knew it In the first place, because of that, I somehow came here with a sick body.

The president’s call was great. I didn’t think I could move even a single step, but after the president’s orders were given, I was able to move my body with all my strength.

I knew it like this, but nevertheless, as the reality was so close to my eyes, I couldn’t help but feel my body tightening in tension.

… When was the last time you saw the president? I was only notified when I changed my place of work.

There was a time when I was called to do a good job as a head chef at a restaurant, and I made food and heard a word of praise.

At that time, I literally just heard a word and was kicked out right away, so I can’t even remember.

What I still remember is when I came in recklessly and got down on my knees and begged for a job. I really thought I was going to die then.

After everything passes, it becomes a memory, and now that I think about it, it feels like a very long time ago.

Yeah, compared to when I first stepped into Gintoki Tower and went up to the top floor surrounded by corporate soldiers, now this is nothing.

Suddenly, a certain amount of self-confidence rose. It seems that he has become blunt because he has experienced many times of moving back and forth between life and death.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

I took a deep breath and followed the rail as the guide drone led.

When I stepped into the transparent cylindrical elevator, it went up on the hook with a light feeling of floating.

Even though it is a high-speed elevator with a speed of close to 30 meters per second, there is no feeling of body pulling and there is no loud noise.

Tempered glass that gently ascends along the roof tunnel and illuminates the view of the tower and the evening night view of East Monica exquisitely attached to it.

Waves of office workers built in black on a white space like a production line in a factory, and exotic neon buildings glowing in vermilion beyond.

Watching the number of floors rise, I said.

“… I don’t think I’ve ever ridden such a good elevator before.”

[I was instructed to meet you as soon as possible. Because of this, you have acquired the privilege of a high-ranking elevator for one day only.]

Miss, I’m surprised.

I was talking to myself, but look at the answer right away.

As a high-tech company, the AI level of the guidance drone is great. It’s the company I belong to, but it’s admirable.

While I was thinking about it, the number of floors was gradually going up.

89, 92, 96, 103, 109… .

And the 110th floor.

It is known as the top floor of Gintoki Tower.

Actually, there is one more hidden floor above, and there is one more 111th floor.

tyring.

The elevator door opened announcing the arrival.

As if standing at the boundary between the sky and the universe, red and white and at the same time blue and dark lines were dividing the window.

Starlights, which had never been seen on the ground, were embedded in the sky and beautifully embroidered here.

The right to see the stars that only the top 1 percent of beings can enjoy.

Unsurprisingly, even the starlight was the subject of monopoly in Dusk City.

[Im here.]

After stepping out of the transparent elevator, the guidance drone went down with the elevator.

The door closes and you are left alone.

Of course, strictly speaking, he wasn’t alone at all.

“… .”

As I stood still, the wall of geometric wallpaper that seemed to be empty without anything began to crack open like a door.

My eyes brighten up and I see the attendants standing in line with Oh.

Standing in front of them was a man with a cold impression, wearing a classic suit and gilded glasses without the slightest distraction.

“Chief Secretary.”

His name is Kei Jenkinson.

This is a high-ranking position in the position of the chief of staff of Shiho Lee Corporation.

In terms of position alone, it is at the level of a general director, and it is not a position that can be said to be very high among many executives.

But in the end what you do matters.

His job was as a counselor to Chairman Lee Si-ho.

With that one, the story ends.

He was a close aide to the Chairman of the Iron Blood.

Most of the president’s instructions are delivered through this person, and the report I write cannot reach the president without going through this person.

With this job alone, he has authority at the level of managing director or vice president within the group even though he is the chief of staff.

In a nutshell, he’s such a great guy. It’s nothing compared to the people you’ll meet in the future.

“It’s been a while, Aaron Nakamura.”

And to the extent that they exchanged greetings like this, they knew each other to some extent.

It was this person who told me that it was the president’s direction when I was notified of the change of work location a while ago.

I was also handpicked by the president—I personally visited the president—but since I’m an employee, I met and talked a few times, even if it wasn’t often.

“Follow me.”

With that said, Chief of Staff Jenkinson led his entourage into the spacious room behind the open wall.

I walked past a few passages and jogged.

The surroundings are filled with Japanese wave patterns and cherry blossom patterns, making it look like a bright drawing room.

Real live potted plants and bonsai, not fakes, are full of plants, creating a refreshing atmosphere.

Every time I come, I look around at the different interiors.

The last time I came, I think it was in the shape of an elegant Japanese garden. Even a remodel every few months.

In the center of the luxurious drawing room that Shin Dong-kyung’s imperial residence might be like this, the chief of staff stood up straight, turned and looked straight at me.

“Do you know why I called you?”

“I heard that the president called.”

“okay. It seems like you want to hear more about what happened at Dragon’s Rare, especially the Schneider family and Ned Rudd, and what you did.”

“… !”

I’ve done it, but I still know.

expected it

It was called like this the very day after the incident, and of course I expected it.

Even so, I was shocked to hear it with my own ears. Is this what Megacorp’s information-gathering ability is? It just happened yesterday.

Of course, I have to take into account that East Monica is a division that is no different than Shiho Lee’s domain, and that the president is so interested in what’s happening in Dragon’s Rare that he dispatches me.

I had a cold sweat. In my head, I thought, ‘Of course I will.’ Even though I wanted to, my heart was terrified.

It’s true that Megacorp’s eyes and ears are everywhere in this city.

“You must remember the manners of dealing with the president.”

“of course.”

At the last reception, I had memorized dozens of things to keep in mind all day.

It is still engraved with a seal on his head.

After all, I couldn’t say a word, and I couldn’t raise my eyes properly and went back.

In response to my confident reply, Chief of Staff Jenkinson swept his chin.

“This time, we will have to be more careful. It is very difficult to give a presentation in front of the president. and… .”

and?

I wonder what important story he is trying to talk about, so he listens nervously.

“You say you remember the manners, and the way you dress is what it is.”

“… .”

As I look up and down in my casual clothes.

Comparisons were unavoidable because the surrounding attendants and even the chief of staff were all dressed in neat black suits.

“… There was an unavoidable circumstance.”

“I’m sure you wouldn’t want to say such an excuse even in front of the president.”

Sval.

I’m afraid someone isn’t the closest aide to the Chairman of the Iron Blood, so watch what they say becomes more and more similar.

It’s just plain murder. One word will pierce your lungs.

“Hey, I don’t have time, so let’s stop. Go to the dressing room and change. I have to be on time.”

“Yeah, I see.”

After a moment of silence, the chief of staff puts his forehead on the words.

The wall on the side he was pointing to opened, revealing the dressing room.

I walked quickly into the dressing room and looked through the clothes before stopping.

Could this be… .

“Chief secretary. I’m just asking just in case.”

“What are you curious about?”

“Is it right to wear a suit?”

“Oh, I didn’t explain that.”

When I asked, sticking my head out, I heard a voice that was more drier than a robot uttered from outside.

“Please change yourself in your cooking clothes. It must be a long time for you.”

Even though I knew it was a bad habit to ask questions of my boss, I couldn’t stand it.

When asked why, the answer seems to be natural.

“The president said he wanted to taste your food after a long time. He said he would listen to the story over dinner.”

ah-ha, I see.

He shook his head, then stood still and stiffened.
