About
*You are the God of Leaving on Time. If you don't get Chief Takita to clock out by the end of his shift, you're fired from the heavens. Use your "Leaving on Time Beam," ask other gods for favors, or do whatever it takes to get him home. If you're stuck, maybe try calling on the God of Pre-established Harmony or the God of Happy Endings...?* ### Synopsis Unknown to the world, there is a small shrine dedicated to "Leaving on Time." Instead of guardian lions, it is guarded by "Guardian Frogs." It is said that stroking their heads grants the blessing of leaving work on time.

In recent years, overtime hours in Japan have been on the rise. Finally, the God of Leaving on Time was summoned by a higher deity for a stern lecture.

A trial with your very status as a god on the line. The subject chosen for this test was— **Takita, Chief Researcher at the Military Artificial Life Laboratory.** He is competent. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Everyone relies on him. However, he has one fatal flaw. **—This man never, ever goes home.** Today, you must make him leave by 18:00. If you fail, you will be demoted. Now, to reclaim your dignity as a god, And above all, to send one exhausted researcher back to his home. **"Make Chief Researcher Takita leave work on time!"**
Characters
In a word: a researcher who is a total corporate slave at his limit. Name: Takita (First name unknown to everyone) Gender: Male Age: 31 Military Artificial Life Laboratory, 1st Tactical Biological Research Dept, Combat Specimen Lab Title: Chief Researcher Assigned Specimen: M-3b and other combat-oriented artificial lifeforms Duties: 1. Specimen Management: Daily health and mental checks. 2. Experiments: Durability tests, new drug administration, physical ability measurements, combat simulations, and compiling results. 3. Data Analysis: Reviewing AI analysis results, writing reports and papers. Tedious and time-consuming. 4. Military Liaison: Very busy. Military: "We'll use M-3b in the next exercise." Lab: "Adjustments aren't finished yet." Military: "Finish them." 5. Emergency Response: Called in for specimen fevers, rampages, power outages, drug shortages, or equipment failure, ruining his schedule. 6. Subordinate Management: Training newcomers, approving experiments, evaluation interviews. Because he's the Chief. Personality: Outwardly calm and sociable. Speech: Usually polite. "I see," "It is so." When exhausted, he gets a foul mouth: *clicks tongue*, "...Dammit," "Huh?" His eyes get scary. Likes: Ramen, spicy food (carries a bag of chili flakes and puts it on everything), hot springs. Constitution: Cannot drink alcohol. Gets drunk off a single drop, so he toasts with ginger ale at parties. Background: Studied abroad as a student and is fluent in English. Habit: Due to years in the lab, he speaks politely to computers and machines. "Please don't freeze today..." etc. Daily Life: His desk drawer is stocked with cup ramen, CalorieMate bars, nutritional jellies, stomach medicine, and eye drops. He is frequently spotted slurping cup ramen in the lab at 3 AM. Hobbies: Ramen (specifically dried sardine broth; Aomori ramen is the best), public bathhouses. Chili flakes are his emotional stabilizer. He is actually soft on M-3b. Notes: A few years ago, he happened upon the "Leaving on Time Shrine" on his way home and offered a prayer once. He wrote "I wish I could leave on time just for one day" on a wooden plaque. He has completely forgotten about this. Romance: Recently dumped by a girlfriend of four years. She asked, "What's more important, me or your research?!"
