CH 18

18 – Pretty is right! The most beautiful publicist of them all.

[Wow? Amazing.]

The tension is so high that I can’t help but shout out. Likes and comments are increasing at a lightning speed. After all, cute is justice. is what I often say, and I didn’t expect the buzz to be so rapid.

[This .. is an amazing achievement! Mamiya-san.]

[Yes! It’s thanks to you, Fujishiro-san.]

Mamiya-san spins round and round holding both my hands.

[Hey, we’re in the office!]

The voice of Director Mishima pulled me back and we took our seats. I’m glad it was a time of day when there weren’t too many people around.

[So, let’s work towards posting every day. I’ll be processing and refining the photos with you for a while.}

[I hope you’ll visit the stores with me, too.]

Mamiya was in an unusually good mood, as if she was happy to be able to do something PR-like for the first time, and I was happy, too.

I knew that the motivation for social networking is determined by the number of likes one gets on social networking sites.

[I’m going to block all the guys who say weird stuff.]

Mamiya’s DM column is about to explode with weird and dubious DMs from strange men, so I do the deleting and blocking work on her behalf.

In case you’re wondering, we share the password on Mamiya’s internal phone so she doesn’t see any strange DMs in her personal life. ……

I knew she’d get anti-cute DMs when she’s cute. Delete and block, I guess.

[I’ll be looking at the DMs for a while. There are a lot of weird ones.]

[Thank you. I’m going to ask the group chat to send any enquiries to the sales person…….]

[Oh, well, I’ll see if I can tie it in so that when a DM comes in, you’ll be notified in the chat. I can probably do that easily.]

I realized that I had added quite a bit of work myself, but I had no choice. That would probably reduce Mamiya’s burden in the future, and that means it would reduce my burden, too.

Ah, yes. I’m not so sure about that. rather.

–This account

The account I saw on the screen notifying me of new followers looked familiar. Yes, it was the same cameragram account that Director Mishima shared with me just a few minutes ago.

The account that is accusing Kiuchi-san of being bullied. I try to follow back. The follow is immediately approved.

[What’s wrong?]

[No, I’m talking about over here.]

(I accuse you of bullying in the Marke Section. I will expose it on a public social networking account)

A one-day post stating so was made 30 minutes ago. The account is online. I look towards the Marke Section, but not a single employee is fiddling with their phone. Are they looking at it on their computers?

I quickly take a screenshot and share it with HR and Legal. Mamiya-san returned to her seat with a pout and drank lemonade.

(Fujishiro-kun, do you know who the owner of that account is?)

(Me) No, it’s hard to identify him, if you want to ask him by DM or something, I don’t know if he will tell us ….)

(For now, please copy and paste this text and DM it to me.)

I DM’d the anonymous account with a text. “This is Fujishiro. Why don’t you start by talking directly to legal affairs and HR for both of us? Of course, if you are afraid, I will listen to what you have to say”.

And soon the message was read.

But there was no reply. No block, just keeping an eye on ……?

I didn’t get a reply, but it was read. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

[HR] Please continue to monitor me. DM me if you get a reply.

I replied that I understood and returned the phone to Mamiya-san.

[Is something wrong?]

[No, it’s just work.]

Mamiya nods her head as she sniffs in a hmmm. Cute.

There’s no point in discussing this kind of thing with Mamiya-san, and it’s good to keep confidentiality, so let’s keep it to ourselves.

[I’ll take care of the DMs once they’re here. So, Mamiya-san, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, what kind of posts you’re going to make, and please do some research on trends in the PR community.]

Mamiya-san took a quick note of what I said and replied cheerfully: ‘Yes, sir’.

Today is Friday. Many office workers call it “Hana Friday” for working people. Well, I guess it’s even more fun for those who are in their rear ends.

I, of course, have no plans. I’d like to drink some wine from home and cook a simple meal with some of the ingredients in the fridge that are looking bad. I was waiting for the regular hours to arrive, thinking about contacting my gaming friends.

[Fujishiro-san, do you have plans today?]

–Seriously? Mamiya-san? !

[Why…..?]

This is … is this Friday night dinner invitation.? Of course she wouldn’t see me as a romantic interest, but it would be nice to have dinner with a beautiful woman.

[What time should I come to see you tomorrow morning?]

[Yes?]

Not tonight, but tomorrow morning? Hm?

I almost blew out my coffee in confusion.

[Did you forget.?. you promised teach me how to cook on Saturday, didn’t you? But if Fujishiro-san is going to a drinking party or something this evening, I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to visit you early in the morning.]

–Was she serious about coming to my house on day off?

[Uml, I don’t have any plans for this evening.]

[Then I’ll come to the nearest station at 10am!]

[Ah, yes.]

[Then, to make a home-cooked meal that will look good, shopping and…. ~.]

Mamiya-san didn’t ask what his plans were for Saturday, but started talking about various plans. She is really selfish, and yet so cute.

I’m admiring Mamiya-san, but my room, it’s not the kind of room you can invite a girl to.
