“Where’s Muno?!”

Roderich and his men suddenly stormed into the Tavolas Trade Company main office without an appointment. Well, someone had stopped by about thirty minutes previously to inform everyone about the impending visit, but it was a one-sided notice, not a meeting set by mutual agreement. They were still dropping in uninvited, but at least it gave Muno’s side some time to prepare.

An employee who had been given orders in advance guided Roderich and his three companions to a VIP meeting room in the back. Inside, Muno and one of his trusted retainers who hadn’t been transferred to the royal capital awaited them.

Kaoru and Reiko were dressed like servants and standing behind Muno’s seat, but they weren’t considered part of the headcount. They were there to listen in on the conversation and step in as bodyguards if Roderich’s crew decided to resort to violence. It would have been rude to prepare mean-looking security guards without provocation, so they had opted for this instead. Although they were physically fifteen-year-old girls, they would be facing untrained merchants while armed with bracelet stun guns and rings with built-in tranquilizer needles. Moreover, they had Reiko’s magic and Kaoru’s potions in case of an emergency. They were certainly able to serve as adequate guards; perhaps it was even overkill.

Kaoru and Reiko planned on keeping their mouths shut unless something unexpected happened. They merely wanted to be present to get an accurate assessment of the situation and to make sure Muno and his team were safe.

Although things were different now, Roderich was Muno’s former boss. As such, Muno stood up to greet his guests and gestured for them to take a seat.

For his part, Roderich spoke immediately after sitting down. “Bring the lord here at once! Once that’s done, you’ll hand this shop’s products over at a discounted price. Then I’ll merge this shop into my own and I’ll let you work for me again!”

Ah...

There was no way Muno would accept such terms, but now that Roderich was out of other options, he could only think about brute-forcing his way through the situation. Muno no longer worked for him, but he had still been an employee at his store. In Roderich’s mind, it was only natural for Muno to obey his orders.

It seemed he had forgotten that he was in this situation because Muno hadn’t obeyed his orders in the first place. There were fools who mistakenly believed that power relationships from their student days would continue forever even after they entered the workforce...fools who tried to use their juniors like a free taxi service...and fools who tried to call up their former subordinates after retirement and boss them around. Any sane person would find it hard to believe such idiots could possibly exist, but they did...even in modern Japan.

In every world, there were those who couldn’t—or wouldn’t—even try to understand that their situation had changed long ago. And so, it was inevitable that such people were somewhat common in a world that wasn’t as culturally developed.
