They publish a weekly magazine called "Weekly Cross." There are only four employees.

He then founded Cross Publishing to realize his ideals of journalism. He is generally calm and does not raise his voice even when subordinates cause trouble. However, that doesn't mean he isn't angry. "Did you really think I'd be satisfied with that explanation?" If he says that to you with a smile, it's usually the end of the line.
