My Darling over Papa
Neito was going to transfer to Metallica’s Main Office: Second Sale Department. It was located under the building where He first took his recruitment exam.
By the looks of it, the main office was underneath the building and the building above was just a cover to divert suspicion.
[I’ll be transferring to the sales department today. My name is Komori Neito and I’ll be in your care from now on. A pleasure to meet you all.]
Without delay, He was given a tour of the department’s office. Artificial lights made the office bright even though they were underground.
For an evil organization, the office seemed normal, like the ones you would see in any company.
An enormous screen was placed in the middle of the room, feeding in images of the outside world.
“Damn”, he thought, “the amount of stress in this office is too damn high”.
[Yes, you proved to be proficient in your previous department, did you not Mr. Komori? I know you just transferred here, but I want to you to give your undivided effort in working here. Your desk is over there. Use it to its full extent and don’t hesitate to ask anyone for help.]
The Department Chief seems like a nice guy.
Unlike in the past, He had his own desk with his own workload. The office’s spaciousness surprised him but it was the Department Chief that surprised him the most.
He mentioned earlier that his name was Izumi.
If he remembered correctly, he once saw him on T.V. … He was a well known politician, always wearing an expensive looking suit matching his silver hair. He was often called “The Roman Grey Politician” by the public.
[I see…. Metallica is “that” kind of Organization…] Neito thought.
After Izumi introduced Neito and gave him a tour of the office, some of the staff greeted him, while some went back to their own work.
An elite looking old man, an antisocial looking guy and a tall African-American, No matter where he looked, none of them seemed like a guy you could trust.
Gulp… Neito anxiously swallowed his saliva. It was as if in any moment, he would e pounded into cake in seconds.
I’ll somehow manage this…
It was in that moment…
[Whoa! There you are Nate!]
The voice didn’t come from near him. It sounded off as a light mellifluous voice and It was heard throughout the entire floor.
[ ??]
He saw an unfamiliar young woman near the entrance.
The young woman had platinum blonde hair and blue eyes…
Now that you mention it, her Japanese intonation was kinda off… She must be a foreigner.
Tying her hair in a ponytail, she wore a short neat miniskirt and she had a smooth fair skin with a baby like face. She looked very tender and gorgeous… though her chest had surprisingly great volume.
In other words, she was a cheerful young woman. What she stuck out to Neito because he a thing for lolis… He got weirded out.
[ ?? ]
Huh? Did she just call out to me? Who is this girl anyway?
Neito didn’t recognize her one bit. Panicking, He looked at Izumi for answers.
[Oh… I’m sorry Komori-kun. I’ll explain it later. For now, take care of her please…?]
Izumi went on to check on other the staff, looking troubled.
[Hmm… You look normal-ish Nate! I thought you were some kind of amazing buff guy, though I wouldn’t say that I dislike you. (Smile)]
The young lady steadily approached Neito staring him down with her deep blue eyes.
Whoa, looking at her closely, she’s a real beauty. And what is this ‘you’re that guy’ thing?
[Oh—Ummm… Hello there. I’m Komori Neito, Nice to meet you…]
She didn’t look like it but maybe she was one of the Sales Department’s staff…
Neito thought about it for a while.
[Hmmm? What happened? Are you nervous?]
[Well… No… Hahaha…]
I don’t know who the heck you are, but give me a break! I’m still a virgin…
Up until this point in life, Neito wasn’t really good at dealing with girls. In Mayu’s case, she was just considerate towards a fellow co-worker and was just giving him a hand.
Now this blonde girl appears out of nowhere…
Neito didn’t know what to do anymore.
It’s true that in the past few months, He was only surrounded by men of all age. Now this girl comes in and starts getting close to him.
He was more confused and troubled than ever.
Neito didn’t have a choice but give out a faint laugh.
[Anice is Nate’s assistant. There’s no need for you to be nervous!]
She pronounced the word “assistant” with such native accent.
Oh god, help me
Neito came in the most Neito way possible to the Sales Department with strong resolve. And now this resolve was broken down easily by this young woman.
[Assistant? Huh? What the–?]
Neito looked at Izumi, who was coming back to them.
[… Will you come with me for a second?]
[Sure…]
[What’s happening? Anice also wants to come!]
[No… could you… please wait over there?]
[Whyyy?]
Neito was slightly bothered when he noticed Izumi was talking to Anice in a respectful tone, but he shook it off and went on to the other room as instructed.
[… Who is that woman?]
[Hmm… Well, as she said, she’s your assistant from now on… We’ll be taking care of her for a while… just think of it as her part time job. ]
[Wut?]
His head full of questions; he said it without meaning to.
First of all, why the heck does Metallica allow part timers? Second, who the heck is that blonde girl? Lastly, why the heck would the organization give an assistant to a new guy? There’s also the Department Chief’s behavior when he’s near her…
[…This is just between us okay…? Anice is actually the daughter of Crimson’s CEO…]
[Wut?!]
Daughter of the CEO? If I’m right, CEO means something like the owner of the company right?
Neito reacted so loud; other people noticed it outside the room.
Crimson is an Organization that’s the same as Metallica, considered as one of the “Evil Organizations”. They’re based off in California, but recently, they focused their activities in New York.
If Metallica boasts in man-power, Crimson boasts in technology and weaponry. Crimson develops “Jacket Armors” using cutting edge technology and distributed them abroad. They are considered as the “Manufactures for Evil” and were particularly well known in Metallica.
Controlling multiple mafias and gangs abroad, they were considered as an international threat. In other words, it wasn’t an Organization you want to cross with.
… That was common knowledge for Neito. Heck, even an ordinary civilian would know that.
[Listen, it’s unofficial, but Metallica and Crimson have agreed on a joint venture… think of it as sharing our ideas with a fellow company… As for our situation, higher ups agreed that it would be good to build up trust from within…]
[… Is that so?]
Neito didn’t know the dangling wed of affairs Metallica was having.
[And then that Miss Anice? Well, I kind of get the situation, but was it necessary for them to send the CEO’s daughter? Then there’s the case of her being my assistant…]
Neito simply didn’t know what it meant. He was just a new guy in the company. A misfit in the lower department, and now he’s getting an assistant. Why the heck would the higher ups do that?
[After all we are dealing with the Crimson CEO’s daughter. We weren’t in a position to decline them and it seems like Crimson’s boss gave in to his daughter’s selfish request. If you want to know more, ask her yourself]
[Whaa—That might be…]
[Also, think of it for a moment, if anything happens to her, by any chance, it would cause a huge problem for our part.]
Neito immediately knew what he meant. If something were to happen to her, No doubt, it would be Metallica versus Crimson. An all out war would begin.
[Hello!]
The door opened and Anice’s head peeked in.
[Oh, Hello]
After Neito answered, Anice came in and immediately sat beside Neito.
[Did you know that I personally requested to be your assistant?]
[It seems…that way…]
[What’s with that tone? C’mon be honest with me.]
Even if you say that, if I even anger Crimson’s boss, my head would be off my head before I even notice
She really did wish to be her assistant. Neito didn’t know what to do. Neito then started to ask her discretely.
[Well… yes… Then, can I ask you something?]
[Sure! What is it?]
Having eye contact would be bad for me. Oh god her fair skin is already bad enough for me
[Why did you want to be my assistant?]
In regard with that question, Anice held her laugh and answered with confidence.
[Because Nate is cool and tough looking. And also, I know you’re a Bad Boy…]
What the heck is she saying?
Neito couldn’t hold on much longer.
[No no no no no! What the heck are you saying? I’m not a tough guy!]
[?… Oh you’re gonna do it that way huh? A samurai always does that… Nate looks helpless and weak, but in reality…]
This is bad. I’m not getting through her. Why the heck is she starting at me with those admiring eyes? In the first place, not all Japanese are samurai!
[No no no no! You got me all wrong here!]
[Hmmm… but I know you fought Dylan and won!]
[I did not win… that was just… well…]
Does she even know the specifics? Just because she’s the daughter of Crimson’s CEO, doesn’t give her the right to know the happenings within Metallica. The story probably changed as it was passed down from one person to another. Gratifying his small feat and turning it into a huge victory. What the heck is the intelligence department doing? Fuck them.
It wasn’t avoidable that he took the interest of Crimson’s boss which he never even met.
[Because my Papa said “Your darling should be stronger and more sinister than Me or I won’t approve of him!” That’s also why I never had a lover in my life… Nate, my Papa seems to approve of you.]
Now that’s just scary. Every guy Anice got close to got annihilated because her Father didn’t approve them. What kind of person is stronger and more sinister than Crimson’s boss?” Neito reflected for a while and thought “In the whole world, I can only think of 3 guys…
Wait a second; did she just call me her Darling??
Neito thought of it for a moment, but as time went on he became more confused.
[And did you know? Ever since I was little, I studied a lot of things. I’m proficient and strong at it! I think I would be of great use to you Nate!]
Well that was very obvious. She’s probably a genius of some sort. I reckon she’s probably stronger than me… Now that you mention it, she’s really proficient in Japanese. Well, she’s a genius after all… what should I expect?
He just couldn’t say it out loud…
[Yeah… well, I understand…]
[Yeah! Nice to meet you Darli—I mean Nate!]
Although Anice halfway through said Darling, Neito decided he shouldn’t touch the topic anymore.
Then he reflected for a moment. He can’t do much at His situation; at least He should look on the bright side. Which, he had 2 things going for him.
One; he is happy. No matter how complicated his situation was, it was the first time a girl fancied him. Not to mention that she’s a beautiful young lady, and He’s honestly happy for that part, even though if he screwed up, his head would pop off his neck without notice… But then it’s something.
Two; He thought of it for a while, but it would be probably be the first time in his entire life that he would meet a person as sincere as Anice.
At this point, maybe Her as His assistant didn’t seem such a bad thing…
[Well then, Nice to meet you too Anice.]
After Neito said that, Anice started giggling as if she was embarrassed, but there was a tone of appreciation behind it.
[Yeah! But first, let’s head to the cafeteria for lunch!]
With her bight smile and cheerful attitude, Neito looked at her and thought to himself
Maybe I’m now really a bad guy…
