Chapter Two

Conflict

1: Not to repeat things, but I have become a Section Chief.
2: And this is my new desk.
3: A Section Chief's chair really does have a different vibe to it.
4: This desk is pure zelkova.
5: I also have an armrest, which is an absolutely necessary item.

10)
1: The looks I get from my co-workers
2: feel different somehow.
3: I suppose changing a desk is enough to change one's aura.
4: Good morning, Yagami-kun.
5: Ah, good morning.
6: About the project, sir...
7: Ahh...yes, the project...
8: That really isn't on my mind right now.
9: You see, this is my desk.
10: T-then mine is...?
11: Over there.

11)
1: The new Chief Clerk who will be your successor won't be here for a while, so...
2: You don't mind, do you? I mean, you've been sitting it in everyday up until now.
3: But that's...!
small text: The same desk as always
4: It shouldn't interfere with your work, either.
5: Who cares about work?!
6: As proof of becoming Section Chief,
7: I want--
8: I want to upgrade my appearance!!
9: For now, I shall unwillingly give in
10: and bear sitting at this desk.
11: But this meager chair
12: must go!!

12)
1: Which means,
2: I have to go and buy a new one.
3: In order to merit such spending, however,
4: I need a just cause.
5: Therefore...
6: I have no choice but to destroy this chair.
7: It's a rather old chair,
8: so if I do this the back will probably break.
9: What are you doing, Section Chief?
sfx: thump-thump
10: Oh, my lower back has been hurting lately...
11: so I was just doing some stretches.

13)
1: Oh no...if I keep this up,
2: my co-workers will start treating me like an old man.
3: More importantly, what a sturdy chair!
4: This wasn't JIS certified for nothing!
5: But...
6: you don't stand a chance...against this!!
7: sfx: rrrriip
8: Yagami-kun...
9: What in God's name are you doing?
10: My chair broke.
11: I'm going to buy a new one.

14)
1: Just use this, then.
2: It's a foldable chair for the part-timers.
3: No, you see...
4: I'm going to buy a new one.
5: Nah, no way.
6: You have too much work leftover.
7: Yagami Kazuhiko 33 years old
8: The chair of a Section Chief is a distant star.
9: Can someone lend me a seat cushion?
