1: The reason I called you here is none other than...because I have prepared a Section Chief position for you...
2: Ehh?!
3: T-thank you so much, sir!
4: Now, the technical title is "Aspiring Representative Assistant Section Chief,"
5: but...it's kinda like an actual Section Chief.
6: Kinda...like one?
7: A notice of personnel change will arrive next week.
8: I think...probably.
9: Inoue Takeharu
Matsushige Electronics - Head of the Product Development Department
10: Probably??

Telephone Maker Matsushige Electronics
Product Development Department Chief Clerk of the Planning Section
2: So now I'll finally be a Section Chief...or kinda like one...I think.
3: This decision will undoubtedly have a profitable effect on our company.
4: Hot Water Room

1: Hey, did you hear about the new personnel change?
2: Rumors sure spread fast...
3: But I suppose it doesn't hurt to become the subject of rumors once in a while...
4: Executive Director Miyakawa is going to become a Managing Director.
5: So we'll have to call him Managing Director Miyakawa from now on.
6: What?! This is a pretty high-level discussion topic...
7: And Board Officer Yamashita is going to become Vice President.
8: He was especially selected, huh? Guess we'll have to start calling him Vice President then.

06)
1: I understand talking about the Vice Presidency...
2: but aren't there any topics you have to discuss that are closer to your own status?
3: Oh, that's right, I forgot.
4: That Yagami-san guy~
5: You forgot...?!
6: was promoted to Assistant Representative Section Chief in Training with Administrative Responsibility.
7: You call that a promotion?!
8: No! That's not it! My official title is Aspiring Representative...errr, what was it again?
9: So what should we call him from now on, then?

07)
1: Yeah! That's the most important point.
2: Assistant Section Chief...Representative...in training...is this it?
3: That's too long to say.
4: Well, yeah! That's why you have to abbreviate it somehow!
5: In that case,
6: why don't we just call him Assistant Section Chief?
7: Close!
8: Just slice one more word off!

08)
1: We might as well make it even shorter, in that case.
2: See, I knew you could do it.
3: Assistant...
4: Jefe...
5: Jefe...?!
6: I'm not Mexican!
7: I think that's a little too short.
8: Then why don't we just call him
9: "Yagami-san," like we've always done?
10: Please, just call me Section Chief!
