Chapter 8: Mishima Yuzuha

"Mishima!!"

Seated beside me, Hashimoto jerked his shoulders at the sound of my yell, and the entire office went immediately quiet, a few members glancing our way.

The target of my outburst slowly turned her head my way and tilted it curiously.

"Yes? What is it?"

"Don't you 'what is it' me!!"

I stood up and made my way toward Mishima. The onlooking members of staff gave me a look, as if to say 'not this again', before returning to their work.

I gritted my teeth against her blank stare and raised my voice again.

"How many times do I have to tell you to double-check your files before submitting them!"

"I did!"

"It'll only be delivered if the system is functioning properly after checking. You understand that, right?"

"I guess so."

"What do you mean, 'I guess so'?! We can't sell our product with the messed-up code you've written!"

After I'd made this clear, Mishima finally realized that she'd made a mistake, and she was being confronted about it.

Her mouth fell open in surprise, and then she started to speak.

"Uh, really? That's pretty bad, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is, and it's your screw-up!"

"What should I do about it?"

"Fix it. Today."

"I can't get it done today!"

I felt like I was going to burst a blood vessel.

Why did HR employ this mess of a person? She had no skills and no sense of responsibility. Honestly speaking, she wasn't even worth the effort.

"The deadline's tomorrow, so you gotta get it done today. It's your ass on the line, and I'm the only one supporting it."

Mishima raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"...If I don't get it done today, are you gonna get fired, Yoshida-sempai?"

"Huh? Of course I won't get fired. It's just..."

I ran my hand along my chin.

"I might get taken off the project. If that happens, I probably won't be your trainer."

It would be the blessing of a lifetime to have someone else train Mishima, but this project was one that I'd gotten tons of others in the office involved in. There's no way I could be kicked off the team halfway through.

"Oh? Do you mean I won't be your trainee anymore, Yoshida-sempai?"

"If you can't get this fixed today, that's very likely."

Upon hearing so, Mishima's normally unbreakable, smiling expression suddenly turned serious.

"Alright. I'm on it."

"Uh, hey..."

She turned on her heel and headed straight for her seat.

Compared to her usual, leisurely pace at the office, she was practically running.

"What's her deal...?"

I was usually very blunt and stern with Mishima, so I assumed she'd prefer to have someone else train her.

And yet, the moment I'd mentioned that this was a possibility, she seemed shaken.

Well, as long as she was taking her work seriously, that was all that really mattered. I nodded and went back to my seat.

"More trouble again?"

"The system basics I set up for her have become an entirely different beast."

"That Mishima-chan's something else."

Hashimoto teased me as if it didn't concern him at all.

He never took his eyes off his monitor as he spoke. It looked like he had a pile of work to get on with—not just his own tasks, but the stuff I'd dumped on him, too.
