Dialogue in this work
Page 1
- For now...
- Let's keep our relationship a secret.
- We haven't known each other for that long...
- If strange rumors start spreading at work,
- it'll cause trouble for Shu...
Page 2
- What if people say I'm dating my scary older boss...?!
- It'd be one thing if I were the only one accused of sexual or power harassment...
- But I don't want to cause trouble for Shu!
- So I have to be extremely careful...
- ...Oh, we're here already.
Page 3
- Oh no... I wasn't watching my step.
- Careful!
- !
- Are you okay?
- Uh...
- Manager Tsuruse!
Page 4
- Sorry.
- Thank you, Shu... I mean, Tsukiwa.
- I love you, Shu—!
- No, no, no!
- I can't let my guard down!
- I need to pull myself together!
Page 5
- ...
- Okay, so far so good.
- Alright, next, I need you to handle this section... Tsukiwa.
- Yes!
- but the Manager is even cooler than usual today...
- She's not even making eye contact.
- The newbie seems more energetic than usual,
- ...
Page 6
- After work (They left separately and met up)
- Shu, I'm sorry about earlier today!
- I was trying so hard not to get caught that I ended up acting even colder than usual...
- No, no, I don't mind at all!
- A-And I gave you a lot of work, too.
- I'm happy you rely on me.
- Well, at least let me apologize somehow...!
- In that case...
- After this, as an apology, he granted her request.
Page 7
- I'd like to try this place!
- Oh, that sounds nice.
Page 8
- A break after the apology dinner.
- We didn't end up going in last time, one way or another...
- It's so nerve-wracking going in for the first time...
- It is, isn't it?
Page 9
- Next, I need you to handle this.
- ...Tsukiwa.
- Yes!
- Sigh...
- This is bad... I can't even look him in the eye during work, so I'm giving him the cold shoulder...
- Shu says he doesn't mind, but...
- If this keeps up, it'll negatively affect those around us...
- Still...
Page 10
- If I look him in the eyes, I'll remember all sorts of things,
- and I'll end up grinning or blushing...!
- It's going to be tough until I get used to this...
- Anyway, work, work.
- Sigh...
- Looks like I'll have to work a bit of overtime today.
- Can I help with anything?
- Thanks. I think I can manage today's work on my own. I'm okay!☺️
- Understood. Please don't overdo it!
Page 11
- Excuse me, I'm leaving now.
- Hey, newbie! Got time? I'll hear you out!
- Uh, um...
- !
- Whoops... No, no, it's important for male colleagues to bond too.
- I have to hold back selfish thoughts like wanting to be with him more...
- Manager...
- Do you have a moment?
- Hm?
- What is it, Madoka?
Page 12
- About that newbie... Tsukiwa...
- Did something happen?
- ?!
- She knows?! What should I do...? Hide it? Confess...?
- No, I can't do that without Shu's permission.
- I guess I'll have to see what she does...
- ..."Something"... what do you mean?
- Could it be that you're...
Page 13
- If she asks if we're dating... how should I handle this?
- Mr. Tsukiwa...
- Is he making advances on you?!
- That's... slightly off... Huh...
- Wh-Why do you ask?
- Well, you two were on the train together,
- and you were talking, so it didn't seem like you were on bad terms...
- She saw us? That was careless. I need to be more careful next time.
- However...
- At work, you, Manager, are so curt...
- And yet...
Page 14
- Shu was all smiles...
- so I wondered if it was one-sided.
- Shu?!
- I-Is that so?
- I couldn't see his face, but was that really how he looked?!
- Sorry for asking such a question.
- I just got curious...
- It's fine, since it's Madoka.
- If you don't like him pressuring you, Manager, I'll do everything I can to help.
- No...
- I should at least say this.
Page 15
- I don't... I don't have any bad feelings towards Shu.
- If I don't say this, he might be misunderstood...
- Besides, we're already dating...
- Which means...
- Kyaa-♥
- ?!
Page 16
- So it's basically mutual feelings, isn't it!
- If you don't dislike him, then it's great! Let's go for it, Manager!
- Mm... well...
- "Basically" or rather... It's just hard to say...
- You used to say there wasn't anyone good in the department,
- but Tsukiwa, about you, Manager...
- he doesn't seem to be scared of you,
- and if he's not scared, you're beautiful and have a great figure, Manager, you can totally do it!
- Besides, you've been saying for a while that you want to get married, right?
- I'll support you, so let's go for it, full steam ahead!
- You said you were going for drinks. If it's Manager Takachimi, I can contact them right away, and it should be okay.
- Should I call them and have us join up?
Page 17
- Hey... Hope I'm not interrupting anything.
- I still have some work to do, so...
- Newbie, drinks... Ah, got time? I'll hear you out!
- Huh?
- Shu can't drink at all, if I remember correctly...?!
- I hope he won't be forced to drink...
- H-He's an adult, surely he can refuse on his own... right?
- Still, I'm worried... Is this being overprotective? No, as his boss... as his girlfriend, should I help him...? Hmm...
Page 18
- Madoka, wait a moment.
- There's no point hesitating.
- Alright, let's go.
- Yay!
- Even if it's just to watch over him at worst, I'm going to him!
Page 21
- Okay, I'll let you know!
- ...I should probably let Shu know too... right? Will I be intruding?
- !
- Oh! Madoka's coming!
- ...Guess I'll get our talk out of the way first then.
Page 22
- Newbie... Shu is fine, right?
- It looks like the Manager's been pressuring you lately...
- You okay?
- ...No, not particularly.
- Huh? Like, has she been harsh on you or giving you too much work?
- Harsh... If she's not making eye contact, I'm sure she has her reasons.
- Well... The Manager handles things properly, and the workload isn't unreasonable.
Page 23
- I see.
- ...Which means...
- Aw, man, so I just jumped to conclusions, huh?
- Thank you for your concern.
- I appreciate it.
- Well, if anything comes up, feel free to talk to me!
- Alright, let's eat a bunch now before the girl arrives!
- Okay!
- Oh
- She says she's here.
- Corner bamboo room. Can't wait!
- Okay, okay. There's one more person with me.
- .. okok!
- Oh, she's here, she's here!
Page 24
- Fujimino! Sorry to keep you waiting!
- There's one more person with me.
- Madoka!
- No problem! Who is it?
- Excuse me.
- M-Manager Tsuruse?!
Page 25
- Sorry for intruding.
- You weren't forced to drink or anything, were you?... Are you okay?
- Well now...
- I'm fine! Nothing like that happened at all,
- and we were able to talk a lot.
- I see... That's good then...
Page 26
- Madoka, why did you bring the Manager...?
- You're too loud! There are circumstances!
- Shu seems to like the Manager, and the Manager doesn't seem to mind either!
- Seriously?
- So I'm going to support them in a good way, got it!
- Cheers!
- Huh...?
- Ah...
- ?
Page 27
- ?!
- ...! Did he take my Oolong Hai by mistake?!
- What a blunder...! But he really is a lightweight... What do I do...?!
Page 28
- Mmm... It's Masaki.
- Wha...!!
- Th-This is bad... but...
- Drunk Shu is so cute!
Page 29
- There's nothing else I can do but this.
- I'm sorry. It's my fault he drank when he can't handle alcohol.
- I'll take responsibility for my own mistake...!
- I'll take care of Shu, so I'll leave the rest to you two.
- Also... you might have noticed from how I called his name, but...
- There's no point trying to awkwardly cover it up... In that case!
Page 30
- I should just tell them and get them on my side...!
- Shu and I are dating.
- And... I'll take responsibility!
- I'm telling you this because I trust you, but I want you to keep it a secret from the other employees.
- ...Please.
- Well then, excuse us!
- Whoa, she actually said it!
Page 31
- He's so heavy... I'm exhausted...
- Masaki... I'm sorry.
- Ngh... Shu... Are you okay?
- Yeah...
- Anyway... I'm sorry.
- I ended up telling them we're dating.
- It's totally... okay.
- I... wanted to tell them anyway...
- That aside...
- I'm a little worn out, so please let me rest... for a bit.
- Is it still really hitting you...? I'm glad for the break too, but...
- Ah.
- Well then... I guess it can't be helped... Yeah.
Page 33
- Meanwhile, the two who remained...
- Haaaah...
- It's great that those two are dating, but...
- I never thought I'd end up sharing a secret with *you*.
- A secret between the two of them, huh? Sounds nice!
- You're such an idiot.
- In that case...
- Should we start dating too, Madoka?
- Rejected.
- It's that flippant attitude of yours that's no good.
- Well then...
Page 34
- I want you to date me seriously.
- What would you do if I said that?
- Huh?
- That...
- Saying something like that all of a sudden... I guess that's no good, huh?
- O-Of course it is!
- I-I actually got a little flustered... by a guy like *him*!
- What happens with these two is another story.
- Meanwhile...
Page 35
- ...Are you okay, Shu?
- You still look like you're struggling, though.
- Yes... I'm feeling much better now.
- I'm surprised you could even move that much earlier...
Page 36
- Should we just stay the night today?
- Tomorrow, I'll have to go to work from here, then...
- I'm a little uneasy about it, but...
- Okay...
- ...It can't be helped. We'll manage somehow.
- Ah!
- No, we can't stay!
- ?!
Page 37
- The completed data for the materials I prepared... for tomorrow's meeting...
- It's only at my house!
- Wha—
- ...I'm going home!
- Excuse me, I'll be leaving first...
- Are you okay?!
- In his condition, I doubt he can get home alone safely...
- I want him to stay, but it's bad if he doesn't have that data...
- Alright!
Page 38
- He has no choice but to go home then... Still, seeing him like this, I'm worried, and...
- This is an unexpected situation, but...
- I'll go with you.
- I've wanted to see Shu's place, too...♥
- Masaki?
Page 39
- S-Sorry...
- Don't worry about it. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing your place, Ichi...!
Page 40
- It was only a little, so the alcohol's worn off now.
- That's good to hear...
Page 41
- We're here.
- I live here alone.
- Oh...
- It's a nice place, isn't it?
Page 42
- Shu's recovered more than I expected.
- It was just one sip, so it seems it wasn't a big deal. That's good...
- ...And then, going with the flow, I ended up buying a proper overnight set, but...
- If he's already recovered, there's no need for me to accompany him, is there...?
- And more than anything, now that it's come to this,
- It's my first time going up to a man's room, and I'm starting to feel embarrassed.
Page 43
- Is it really okay for someone like me...?
- Um...
- It's a bit late to ask, but... is it really okay for me to intrude?
- For a boss, even nominally, to visit your home...
- You don't... mind?
- ?
- What are you saying? You were worried enough to come all this way with me, and
- Masaki, you're my cute
- girlfriend, so of course you're more than welcome!
- R-Right... Yeah! I need to be more confident!
- If anything...
Page 44
- Sorry for inviting you into my messy room.
- !!
- Come to think of it,
- I might have only had that one glass of oolong tea since leaving the office.
- ...I'll get something ready for you. Please, come in.
- Sorry. Excuse me for intruding...
- This is embarrassing for a whole different reason!
Page 45
- Oh...
- This is Shu's...
- Well then, I'll make some snacks,
- You can just put your bags and stuff down anywhere.
- so please wait a moment, okay? ♪
- Okay.
Page 46
- WHAAAAT?!
- Y-Yes...
- My heart's pounding so much...
- I-It'll take a little while,
- ...Masaki?
- so if you'd like, please take a shower first.
- What's with that cute apron! Shu, you're not playing fair!
- C-Can my body handle this...?
- O-Okay... I understand.
Page 47
- I'm out.
- Thanks... for the clothes.
- It smells like Shu...♥
- I-I've prepared dinner!
Page 48
- It's just something simple I whipped up with what I had on hand, but
- Please, eat.
- Wow...
- You made this in such a short time?!
- That's amazing?!
- Thank you. I started to enjoy cooking after I began living alone, so...
- Something like this is no problem.
- Wow, that's really impressive.
Page 49
- It's not that I can't cook, but I'm not very good at it...
- ?
- Anyway, let's eat!
- Mmmm...♥
- Delicious!
- Shu, you'd make a great wife.
Page 50
- Ah.
- I just blurted out something weird...
- Ah... Thank you. I may be inexperienced, but...
- !
- W-Well then, I'll also take a shower,
- I'll go take a shower now!
- What's with that reaction? So cute!
- Besides, once Shu takes a shower too,
- After that... we sleep... right?!
Page 51
- I'm out of the shower too.
- Cute pajamas!
- Looks like preparations for tomorrow are all set, too...
- Shall we go to sleep now?
- !
- So, with that said,
- Masaki, please take the bed.
- I'll sleep on the floor.
- ...
Page 52
- Ah... Being enveloped in Shu's scent is pure bliss...
- Hey!
- Wait a minute!
- There's no way the owner of the house, Shu, should sleep on the floor...
- No, no, I can't let a guest sleep on the floor.
- No, no, no...
Page 53
- If you catch a cold, it'll affect your work tomorrow, right?
- In that case, it's better if we just get into bed together...
- Um... We're lovers... after all.
- So, please...
- Saying it out loud is embarrassing... Sorry! I said something weird!
- I'll leave it up to you what to do, Shu!
Page 54
- Hn.
- Well then, excuse me...!
- Whoaaa, he's here!
- Sorry it's so cramped...
- Well then, good night.
- So close!!
- After this, they slept soundly.
Page 55
- Of course, there was no way they could just sleep normally like that.
Page 56
- Early morning.
- Oh... so this is...
Page 57
- Yawn...
- Morning already...? I have to make breakfast...
- Mm?
- Smells good...
- Good morning, Masaki.
- !
- It's simple, but I made breakfast, so please eat.
Page 58
- Ke...
- Let's get married?
- What's wrong?
- N-Nothing! Uh... Thank you!
- It's still too soon for that, obviously...
- I almost proposed to him just now.
Page 59
- Well then, shall we go?
- I'll go a little later (I'll take one train later).
- !
- If we arrive at work at the exact same time, it'll cause all sorts of problems, right?
- True.
- Honestly, I want to go together,
- but—!
- Good morning.
- !
Page 60
- 15 minutes later.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
- This should be okay, right?
- I let my guard down a lot yesterday, so I need to be composed at work.
- ・Took him home yesterday ・Same clothes as yesterday ・Same scent ←NEW!
- ...
- This is definitely...
- You did it, didn't you?!
- So obvious!
Page 61
- She might find it annoying, but I should tell her...
- Manager, I have something to talk to you about. How about we have lunch together?
- Hm?
- I don't mind.
- ...So, what did you want to talk about?
- I know this might be forward of me, but... Manager,
- it's super obvious you had a sleepover.
- You know... same underwear as yesterday, smelling like Tsukiwa... all sorts of things.
- Wha—
Page 62
- I-Is that so...
- My underwear and scent... huh.
- Oh no, this is embarrassing.
- I need to be more careful...
- Oh?
- Manager Tsuruse, I always thought you were beautiful, just a bit scary... but
- you're actually super cute, aren't you?
- Even Madoka's heart skipped a beat.
Page 63
- After work
- They met up.
- I'm done too! I'll meet up with you!
- Okay, I'll be waiting in front of the station building two stops from here.
- !
- Masaki!
- Shu!
- Ah!
- Haha, let's get something to eat first.
Page 64
- ...So,
- Madoka figured it out because of my scent and stuff,
- apparently...
- Oh, really...
- We might need to be more careful about sleepovers...
- I see. If we're trying to hide it, we'll have to be careful.
- ...I'll be careful too, in various ways.
- Sorry. Given my position, I want to be a bit cautious about making it public.
- Alright then.
Page 65
- Well, I'm heading home for today.
- I need to change clothes and all.
- Okay.
- See you tomorrow...
- Shu, you too...?
- Actually, I want to stay over today too,
- In that case...
- Um... I think we need to strengthen our countermeasures from now on,
- not to stop, but as preparation to continue...
- and I'm sad to leave, but...
- So... how about we go out...?
- In other words!
- ?
- Squeeze!
Page 66
- This weekend, let's go on a date to buy sleepover supplies!
- And after that, a sleepover right away... to... try them out... or something...
- Anyway, see you tomorrow!
- So cute...
- I'm looking forward to the weekend now.
Page 67
- The Manager, in high spirits at work after their weekend (sleepover included) date was decided.
- I'm so excited!♪ How should we spend it!♫
- Hey...
- About Manager Tsuruse,
- Yeah...?
- I was thinking the same thing.
Page 68
- Could she actually be... cute?
- She has a scary look in her eyes and is strict about work, but if you look closely, she's beautiful,
- and lately, her aura has softened...
- ...Could she actually be an amazing catch?!
- Time for a little break...
- ...Maybe I should try hitting on her.
- ...I'm feeling some strange stares today...?
- Why didn't we notice until now?! (whispering)
- Fools! It's too late now!!
- The Manager already belongs to him! (And sadly, that's not quite true yet)
- The number of male employees who are fans of Manager Tsuruse increased.
- But the story of them wallowing in sadness is for a little later.
Page 69
- The day before the date
- Phew.
- Time to get ready for tomorrow.
- He understands my hobbies, too,
- so going in this outfit... might be okay...?
- No, this is probably too much... It'd make a sleepover awkward too.
- Maybe I should reconsider a bit...
Page 70
- Phew...
- We always see each other at the office, but a date feels different.
- I'm so excited to see Shu.♥
- Masaki, even more giddy than usual.
- She had no way of knowing it would be a turbulent date.
