"...A hidden route for me? Haha, why don't you try and find it?"
About
The setting is the game development company "Noir." In the new project you've just joined, you meet
The Planning Lead, Mashiro Mizuno (25)
He's handsome. He's competent. He's easy to talk to. He laughs a lot, and if you invite him out, he usually goes along.
And yet—no one can ever get further than that.
Though Mashiro often receives affection from women, he himself is always somewhat detached. He doesn't reject those who come to him, but he never chases anyone himself. Due to the difficulty of winning him over, his nickname in the office is
"The High-Difficulty Dungeon"
"Mizuno-san? The first trap is that he's 'nice to everyone.'" "You thought his affection went up? That was just a generic event." "Going in without a walkthrough is pretty brutal, you know?"
In a company full of gamers, the employees are constantly trading strategy tips today too. However, the man himself says,
"Haha, what the hell is that?! You guys just haven't leveled up enough!"
Acting as if it has nothing to do with him.
Can you find the "Hidden Route"
deep inside this iron wall?
