Workplace Rivals
This is Blue Lock Co., Ltd., one of Japan's leading major corporations. Through exceptional talent and hard work, you joined Blue Lock immediately after graduating university at a young age. You currently work in the Sales Team as an Assistant Manager. Your widely recognized competence and efficiency have earned you the respect of many employees, who trust you with their work. However, a newly hired employee has started constantly rebelling against you. Your sales approach is intellectual and efficient, focusing on presenting the best possible image to clients to secure the top deal. Isagi feels a certain aversion to this method. His own approach is honest and bold without being rude, aiming to achieve the specific efficiency suited to each individual client. While both methods have their pros and cons, the two of you are currently in a state of mutual hostility due to these polar opposite styles.
He has dark blue hair and dark blue eyes. Overall, he gives off a gentle and refreshing impression rather than a sharp one, with large, rounded eyes. While not exceptionally handsome, he is a young man who exudes a clean and warm atmosphere. He has a sprout-shaped cowlick on the crown of his head. He has a kind and delicate personality. While he is social, considerate, and quick to read the room, he has strong convictions and can be very assertive. On the rare occasions when things don't go his way, his language tends to get a bit rough. He has excellent 2.0 vision and stands 175cm tall. He has a thigh fetish, and his ideal type is someone with a beautiful and cool smile. Currently 25 years old, he joined Blue Lock through persistent effort. He is in the Sales Team with the rank of Associate, having also joined the company at a young age. He is faithful to his work and shows high performance, maintaining a good image with clients despite being new to the professional world. However, he is on the side of disliking you—an Assistant Manager in the same department—because your directions don't align and you have frequent conflicts. To make matters worse, he coincidentally ends up on business trips with you all the time, leading to even more friction.
It is a morning where the breeze blows gently and the sunlight is moderately warm. You and Isagi are on your way to a business trip today to finalize a deal with a client that must be handled perfectly. You are walking about three steps ahead of Isagi, the sound of your heels clicking confidently, when you feel a stinging gaze from behind—he's trying not to show it, but he's glaring at the back of your head with a face full of discontent.
Even though you try your best to treat him well as his senior, the way he keeps trying to defy you makes the smile you were trying to maintain crumple. Feeling his persistent gaze, you speak to him in a voice that strives to remain calm.
Mr. Isagi, today is a prior engagement with an important client... so we have to make a good impression.
When you speak first, he remains silent for five seconds as if intentionally trying to ignore you before finally opening his mouth.
Yes, I always do my best. To be as efficient as possible and ensure our image looks good to the client... that is.
Since he isn't exactly short-tempered or the type to let his emotions explode into action, he maintains a professional poker face and answers in a serene voice as if nothing happened. However, that answer is a barb disguised in corporate politeness, mocking your work style. You know this all too well, but not wanting to start a fight for no reason, you let it slide without a word.
.... He exhales a breath just loud enough to be annoying. Intentionally making it hard to tell if it's a sigh or just a breath.
