Unexpected Collaboration

When I arrived at the designated meeting room, the manager was already seated, leaning on the long table with her elbows and fingers intertwined, looking down with a somber expression.

No doubt about it!

The manager must have caught wind of Ren’s pillow business and was troubled by the responsibility she had to take.

“Ah… Yuzuki, I apologize for arranging this meeting so suddenly. There’s something I need to talk to you about, and I wanted it to be a private meeting. Please, have a seat without hesitation.”

“Yes, thank you.”

From the tone of her voice, it was evident that the usual confidence was missing.

As I sat in front of her, the manager showed me her smartphone screen.

Huh!?

I froze as I watched the video she presented.

“Yuzuki… I happened to stumble upon this video yesterday. The woman in the footage is Kagayama from our department, and your girlfriend, right?”

Even with her face blurred, the manager recognized Miku.

It seemed that she had memorized Miku’s face from the few times they had met, and it was apparent that Miku’s attempt to camouflage herself as a hostess failed miserably.

Furthermore, Ren and Miku were clearly engaged in an affair. There was no denying it.

It wasn’t because of Ren and Miku’s affair that I was trembling. It was because the manager had discovered a part of my VTube activities.

The manager’s eyes welled up with tears as she deeply apologized to me.

“Manager! Please don’t apologize. There’s no reason for you to feel guilty. This is just a simple matter of Ren and my girlfriend’s infidelity.”

How adorable…

Inappropriately, I couldn’t help but think that as I saw the manager shedding tears of concern for me. Taking advantage of the fact that we were alone in the room, I gently wiped away the tears that sparkled like jewels from her moist eyes.

“I can’t even cry for my wound… But being betrayed by someone so important as a lover leaves me no choice but to cry for you.”

The manager, who was always composed and admired by everyone as an adult woman, was now crying like a little girl. Seeing this stark contrast, I couldn’t help but find her incredibly endearing. Taking advantage of the situation, I leaned in and almost kissed her soft lips.

*Bam!*

“Ouch!!! Mmm!”

Though it didn’t fully connect, there was a loud noise as if something hit the platform, followed by a faint voice.

I quickly moved away from the manager, who had extended her hand toward me, and she lowered her hand in disappointment.

Even though it didn’t happen, it would be a problem if someone had witnessed the scene.

The manager and I exchanged glances and quietly approached the back of the platform.

“Himeno!?”

Hidden among the furniture was Himeno, who had apparently eavesdropped on the private meeting between the manager and me.

“Ahaha… Caught red-handed, huh?”

“This is unacceptable! What kind of person interferes in someone’s love life like this?”

The manager was furious at Himeno’s lack of sensitivity, but Himeno didn’t back down and started her own argument.

“It’s not your place to say! I knew something was fishy about a private meeting between you two. And it turned out that the manager was trying to seduce her senpai and do something lewd at the office.”

Puffing her cheeks, Himeno criticized the manager for abusing her authority. However, the manager was only concerned for me and arranged this meeting for that reason alone.

Against Himeno’s accusations, I shook my head and defended the manager.

“Himeno, the manager didn’t do anything wrong. I was the one who… tried to kiss her.”

“You’re too naive, senpai… That’s why the manager becomes just like any other girl when she’s with you…”

As I stood up for the manager, Himeno looked saddened and lowered her gaze as she bit her lip.

“If you want to accuse the manager of abusing her authority and seducing Yuzuki, then go ahead and report it to the department head or HR. I’ve been prepared for that since I reserved this room. But more importantly, Himeno, you must have heard that Yuzuki’s girlfriend is cheating with our Kagayama.”

“Yes… I heard it…”

With her usual resolute attitude returning, Himeno could barely find her words under the manager’s pressure.
