Episode 2 It seems that from tomorrow on, I will be the manager of the AIWON Mall Isekai branch store.
“So, why me? I can’t fight, and there must have been a lot of better employees … No way, is it because I don’t have a family?”
“[I want to do business in an interesting place. Like in Kasugano prefecture, even better in the countryside, remote islands, and overseas!]”
“…… I beg your pardon?”
“Well, you see. Mr. Taniguchi, what about another world? What if you can go do the business in another world”
Mrs. Iori manages her voice without changing her facial expression.
…… I’m familiar with what she just said.
“[A different world is it? … Sounds interesting! I- I lost my parents early, and my grandparents who raised me also died and I’m lonely. To go to another world and convey the charm of AIWON Mall to do business there. Yeah, it sounds interesting! ]”
“That’s a good impersonation of me there or rather your memory is amazing, isn’t it? As expected from the elite who work at the head office! That’s exactly my line! The guy who foolishly said this in the interview for the new graduates!”
I held my head and crouched down.
I remembered.
The final interview was when I took the recruitment test for AIWON employee as a new graduate.
So the big old man said “another world” not just as a metaphor but it’s literally another world. Well, I answered the mysterious question that is often found in new graduate recruitment. With a bright and positive feeling that promises job hunting.
I also remembered that Mrs. Iori was at the end of the seat where the big old men were lined up.
“Even in the document I exchanged when I joined the company, Mr. Taniguchi put a circle on all options [ national, overseas, different worlds ] in the item of workable place.”
“Ahhhhh! I think that was a joke! That old man is so shrewd to include that option in the document, everyone often goes out with such a joke!”
“After you gain experience you will be hired at the AIWON Mall Kasugano branch store, which is the closest to Mr. Taniguchi’s hometown. Coincidentally it is also the default route to the Isekai branch store. ”
“Aaah! I thought there were a lot of strange trainings that looked non-sense! But I think that cross-cultural communication training is a good way to prepare for overseas work! But it’s a different world, not just a different culture !?”
“Then, let’s explain the business when you are convinced that AIWON Mall Isekai branch store and Mr. Taniguchi have moved.”
“You are the one who is really calm about this. I’m not convinced at all!”
Mrs. Iori continues to talk to my one man retort without changing her expression.
She is getting used to it.
“Aiwon Mall Isekai branch store is already partially open.”
“… Huh? Then are there any Japanese employees beside me?”
“Mr. Taniguchi is the only Japanese person who is hiring local human resources from around the world. Currently, only a part of the supermarket department is open. There is also business to achieve. ”
I’m stunned.
I’m the only Japanese person. The rest of the employees are human beings in this world.
Moreover, I am the store manager.
The store manager in the third year of joining the company. The subordinates are human beings in this world.
“I will not be able to contact you until half a year after the <Transfer Gate> is connected, so I will leave the management of the Aiwon Mall Isekai store to Mr. Taniguchi, who will be the store manager.”
“It’s up to me !? By the way, how much is the target sales …?”
“It is 100 million yen a month when converted to Japanese yen.”
“100 millio-”
“In this world, at least in this country’s calendar, one month is 30 days. One year is 12 months, and it seems to be adjusted with a leap month once every few years. However, no leap month is available in the near future. There is also daily target sales, roughly 3.34 million per day. ”
“3.34 mil. What if I can’t afford- … that, you just said that only a part of the supermarket department is open.”
“Yes, that’s right. You will be connected to Japan once every six months. At that time, you can bring in supplies and prepare the products here. However, since the gate connection can’t be opened for a long time, you should purchase or re-stock in one go. Please remember it, the next stock is in another six months. ”
“Wait a sec …? Isn’t the hurdle for sales targets high? Only part of the supermarket department is open, and the purchasing time lag is half a year.”
“And I brought in Mr. Taniguchi’s personal belongings over there.”
“Thank you then? … My personal belongings?”
“Since you don’t have any place to sleep yet, we will allow you to live in an empty tenant space as a special case. Time is running out.”
“Eh, hey”
“Please ask the former store manager who will come to work tomorrow for detailed work. Oh yeah, Mr. Taniguchi. If you do not reach the monthly sales target of 100 million yen, the Aiwon Mall Isekai store will be closed. Even in that case, <Transfer Gate> won’t be opened anytime you want. Please be sure to secure the transfer gate. ”
“What? No, wait a minute! What happens if I don’t secure it !?”
“The gate is weakened and it is difficult to return.”
With that said, the light of the geometric pattern disappeared.
Mrs. Iori also disappeared.
Sometimes my question was passed through because she didn’t have time.
All that was left was me, my personal belongings, and the items that seemed to be brought in.
Also, Aiwon Mall Isekai store.
Moreover, the monthly sales target is 100 million yen.
“Ahhhhh !? It’s too difficult, isn’t it! Mrs. Iori has disappeared, eh, then this is really a different world !? Suddenly transferred to another world is too crazy!”
I scream while rolling around in the place where Mrs. Iori disappeared.
It’s too eccentric, but it can’t be helped if you’re in this situation.
By the way, I couldn’t see the graffiti pattern where the light went out.
“Ahhhhh! What should I do from tomorrow on! Before that, what should I do tonight! Kuu, why did I say that in the interview at that time! Ahhhhh!”
I roll around.
No way, this is not happening,
Naoya Taniguchi, 24 years old.
Aiwon employee in the third year of working life.
It seems that I will be the manager of the AiwonMall Isekai store starting tomorrow.
