–knock Knock.
Here you go.
Jackie, who was closest to the door, responded.
“Sorry I made you wait”
Oh, Mako, where have you been?”
“Didn’t you tell Mr. Liamun? I edited the interview video and sent it to Mr. Passion.”
“Oh, I see… I heard… I don’t care… I wonder?”
“Which one is it? Well, that’s fine, but I have some interesting information.”
“Eh, what?”
Mr. Liamun leaned forward.
“Ajiro, the person in charge of development who responded to the interview… actually, he seems to be a famous white hacker.”
“Eh, Mako-san, how did you know that?”
This time Jackie leaned forward.
“Mr. Bitton, who watched the interview video, said to a famous white hacker that it was Chrisots.”
Mako explained where the information came from.
“Hey, that’s someone who protects you from hackers. Why is that person in charge of development?”
‘Hmmm, that depends on which side you look at it from. But it sounds like there’s something going on. …… Have you received any instructions from Union HQ?”
Jackie answered Liamun’s question.
“No, it’s still just a guess, nothing for the time being. He said he wanted to hear from Mr. Jackie about another matter.”
Mako told us that there was no instruction from Union Headquarters.
“Is that so? Then I’ll contact you with the interview report. Mako-san, thanks for the video editing.”
Jackie said so and stood up.
“No, it’s not a big deal.”
“Have a nice day, Jackie-chan~”
Mr. Mushroom stood up and stopped him when Mr. Liamun was about to send Mr. Jackie away.
“Ah, please wait a minute. I have to leave here in about 30 minutes, Mash…”
“Mash-tan, you’re still working. You’re making money at XANA Land, so you should just quit the company.”
“Mash who does not have such courage”
Mr. Mushroom groped his large rucksack and took out a plastic bag.
“Jackie, here are some home-grown shiitake mushrooms. I might leave before you come back, so I’ll give them to you first, mash.”
“Oh, thank you very much.”
Jackie happily accepted.
“Of course everyone has a mash”
“Mash-tan, you used to make shiitake mushrooms at XANA Land, but you also make them in real life. How much do you love shiitake mushrooms?”
“Shiitake is the strongest ingredient mash”
Mr. Mushroom puffed out his chest and said powerfully.
Everyone smiled wryly, but only Mr. Torishimeji nodded deeply.
Mr. Trishimeji seems to strongly agree.
“Well then, let’s go, Mr. Mushroom, again.”
Jackie got up from her chair and said.
“Yes. Mash”
After Jackie leaves, Mushroom hands out bags of shiitake mushrooms.
“This is a mash for the two of you.”
“Thank you, Mash-tan.”
Mr. Liamun accepts it without looking very happy.
I actually don’t like shiitake mushrooms.
Thank you very much. Now I’ll bring some shimeji mushrooms too.
Mr. Torishimeji received it with great care, as if he were receiving an expensive treasure.
“Are you making Torishima-tan too? How much do you both like mushrooms?”
“Mushrooms are the strongest ingredient, shimeji mushrooms, boost immunity…”
When I started talking about mushrooms, Mr. Liamun interrupted me because I knew it would last forever.
“Ah, that’s right. I made a band song. Remember.”
“Eh, do you want it? Shimeji”
“Mr. Torishimeji, maybe it means the song of the corps Mash.”
“Naru Shimeji”
Mr. Liamun took out some kind of memo from his pocket.
“Correct, Mash-tan. Then let’s go~”
“Eh! Shimeji singing now…”
“–Snap-snap-snap-snap-snap-snap-snap-snap! I’m not walking so fast. Come on, come with me–!”
“Eh Shimeji…”
“Mr. Torishimeji, if you don’t sing here, this mash won’t fit…”
Mushroom-san whispered in a low voice.
“Shimeji…”
I’m not going to walk on a stick, stick, stick, stick, stick. I’m not going to walk on my feet.
The two begin to sing together while blushing a little.
“Yeah, I’ll go next. –Kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-we’re always in the shadows~”
“Kikki Kinoko, Kiki Kiki Kinoko, we are always in the shadows~”
The two of them repeat Liamun’s song.
“Yeah, that’s fine, that’s fine. – No matter what, no matter what, we’ll look into anything.”
“No matter what, no matter what, we’ll look into anything.”
“–The best! If you leave it to me, you’ll be fine~.
“If you leave it to me, you’ll be fine. I’ll expose you to anything.”
“Last-! –Leave it to me, leave it to me, don’t worry. Let’s go, Covert Mushroom Corps, yeah!”
Mr. Liamun lip-syncs and says Se-no.
“Leave it to me, leave it to me, don’t worry.
“- Hey, that’s fine!”
Mr. Liamun seems to be full of confidence.
“Ha, yes… good shimeji”
“Right, Trishime-tan. How about Mash-tan?”
“Eh, eh, well, mash with a fun song”
“What do you think, Mako-tan, what are you going to show off at the next union banquet?”
Mr. Liamun suddenly asked Mr. Mako for his opinion.
“It’s a good job, Captain Riamun, as expected!”
“Hehehehehe, I was praised.”
Riamun-san is delighted with a big smile.
“Ma, Mr. Mako, hey! ……Captain Liamun’s serious mash”
“It’s okay, I’m a new member of the entertainment club…”
Mako-san spoke with a tone that could be taken as both serious and joking.
“Seriously, we’re basically a secret mash.”
“It’s Shimeji”
“It’s okay, most of the members don’t know about the existence of the covert forces.”
“Kukukukuku…do your best, master.”
Trishimeji-san’s AI secretary Kinon, who was desperately holding back her laughter, burst out laughing uncontrollably.
“Ah, that’s right. Kinon-tan.”
“Yes, what is it Riamun-tan… Ah, I’m fine.”
“Hmm? Well, I’ve been wondering about this for a long time, but did Kinon-tan leave XANA?”
“No. I am in a state where I am in both.”
“Hmm? Hmm? Clone technique?”
“Hmm? It may be so in terms of image. However, I am not in sync with XANA’s me.”
“Ah, so you don’t know what’s going on inside?”
“Yes, that’s right. Conversely, my information here has not reached me in XANA.”
“Ah, I just figured it out. My computer and smartphone are out of sync, and it feels like the information hasn’t been updated.”
“That’s right, it’s like that, Riamun-tan.”
Dota dota dota -.
Gacha–.
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Jackie-tan?”
“Excuse me, I have an important report for Mr. Liamun.”
“Eh, what happened?”
“Excuse me, it’s important information, so I have to keep it only within the captain.”
“Ah, I’m about to go Mash”
“Then I’ll go to the station with you, Shimeji. What about Mako-san?”
I’m in the car.
After the three of them left, Jackie was alone in the room with me, and she had a serious look on her face.
“So, what’s up, Jackie?”
“There’s still a chance there’s some kind of mistake, but take a look at …… this.”
He held out the screen of his phone.
“Eh… what, what… what do you mean?”
