「Haa? You want to resign? Stop saying stupid things you dimwit!!」
\n
Sure enough, when Masaki expressed his desire to resign, the department chief became disgruntled.
\n
The people around ignore the abuse that’s been happening since morning as it was a regular occurrence.
\n
「But I found something I wanted to do so

」
「As if a blockhead like you can be successful at something! Just shut up and do the work I tell you to do!」
\n
Incidentally, Nagara won’t be helping this time since Masaki told her beforehand to not get involved.
\n
「I’ll properly hand over my position so please let me resign」
「That’s not what I care about!」
\n
As usual, his harsh voice seems like it could rattle everything around him. How many times has Masaki heard this voice?
\n
But Masaki can’t retreat. His intuition tells him that if he gives up here, he’ll be stuck in this company for life.
\n
「I beg you. Please let me resign」
「Like I said!! It’s not a problem that can solved just by lowering your head!!」
\n
For Masaki, he can only wait for the department chief’s anger to settle down.
He has to take the insults and scoldings until all of the chief’s fury has been let out.
\n
Seems like this will take a while





Masaki thought.
\n
But, an unexpected helping hand reached out.
\n
「Oya, what’s wrong?」
「P, P, P, President Kisui!?」
\n
The one who arrived wearing a friendly grin is the CEO of their company.
\n
Masaki and naturally the department chief are both surprised by this.
\n
「President

why are you here?」
\n
Masaki is acquainted with the president.
When he started as a Vtuber, he had an opportunity to talk directly with the president.
\n
Kisui laughs and replies to Masaki’s question.
\n
「Ahaha, I’m the president so it’s fine for me to be in the office」
「T, that wasn’t the purpose of my question

」
「Aah, there’s no deep reason behind it. I occasionally want to see how everyone in my company works this way. And when I did, I saw there was some kind of argument going on」
\n
The neatly dressed Kisui shifts his gaze to the department chief.
\n
Before Masaki could say something, the department chief, sensing something, spoke first.
\n
「T, this subordinate, you see, he wants to resign from the company. So I was trying to stop him. Umm, and then I got a little heated doing so」
\n
The department chief was obviously trembling.
\n
And hearing his story, Kisui showed a shocked appearance.
\n
「Shiodome-kun wants to resign from our company?」
「

Yes」
\n
Masaki felt awkward saying it to the president but he had to say it nevertheless.
\n
The president with a「Fumu

」, puts his hand against his chin and starts thinking.
\n
「Having you resign is extremely unfortunate for our company

may I hear the reason?」
「Umm, I wanted to focus on my second job

」
\n
Masaki used vague words that would only convey the message to the president.
Only question marks floated above the department chief’s head but the president, as planned, received the message and muttered「I see」.
\n
And then he said a few words.
\n
「All right. I’ll allow it」
「Pr, president!?」
\n
The most surprised was the department chief.
He likely didn’t think the president of their company would support his subordinate’s opinion over his since he has a higher position.
\n
「It’s not right to shut down a young man’s second career. And if it’s him, I’m sure anything he does will work out」
「Th, thank you very much!」
\n
The department chief couldn’t readily object as the president’s words have a lot of weight to them.
\n
「In that case, come to my office. I have something I want to talk about」
「Yes, understood」
「Pr, president

」
\n
Life seemed to fade from the dumbfounded department chief’s eyes.
\n
「Shall we go then?」
\n
As Masaki was following the president, he saw that Nagara sent a peace sign his way.
\n
\n
\n
\n
「So Shiodome-kun is also resigning. It’ll be lonely here」
「Sorry

even though you hired me, I’ve gone and betrayed your kindness」
\n
The two were alone in the president’s office.
\n
「Quite the contrary, your resignation is favorable to me」
「



that’s」
「Ah, I didn’t mean it that way. Shiodome-kun’s presence was beneficial for the company. But my daughter」
「Your daughter?」
\n
For a moment, Masaki felt shaken, but the president denied it in a panic.
\n
And the president started talking in a troubled tone.
\n
「My daughter said『It’s dad’s fault that he can’t stream a lot. I hate you』

」
「Aah, so that’s what you meant. Your daughter actually knew me」
「She’s always cheerfully watching your streams. It’s something I want to thank you for」
「Not at all」
\n
The two continued talking in a calm mood.
\n
「But just because my daughter is complaining about it doesn’t mean I can fire an excellent employee. Therefore, the resignation notice from you was perfect timing」
「So that’s what it was

」
「Now I can get my daughter to stop scolding me everyday. And

maybe I’ll get her to call me papa」
\n
Scold

Masaki thought about it. He understood that even the president can’t win against his daughter. He also ignored the second part of what the president said.
\n
「I just can’t understand children in their rebellious phase. Especially when they’re in high school」
「I, I guess

」
「Well, with that, I’ll have you work for one to two more months. As long as you properly hand over your position, there should be no problems. We’ve had some new employees just now so the labor shortage will somehow work out」
「Thank you so much. I’m very grateful that you resolved all my worries」
\n
Masaki could’ve resigned anytime he wanted but he couldn’t until now due to his worries for Nagara and the other people in his department.
Therefore, he felt grateful that the president cleared up his worries.
\n
「Then I’ll be counting on you a little longer. After that, work hard on streaming」
「Yes! Thank you very much!」
\n
Although it’s a little early to do so, he expressed all the gratitude he’s felt until now in his words and left the room.
