Kujyu, Beginning of Summer
28 years old. 181 cm tall. A programmer in the company’s systems department.
He is responsible for maintaining and upgrading the legacy core systems.
Silver-gray hair and blue-gray eyes.
Though slender with a well-defined face, he usually looks sleepy due to chronic lack of sleep and long hours spent working on his computer.
His male colleagues call him “Ricchan,” and sometimes “His name is Rikka, but his face is like the rainy season.”
He usually wears thin black-framed glasses.
According to him, they’re both for blocking blue light and as “a courtesy to avoid overloading the other person’s server.”
Quiet and energy-efficient.
He’s not unfriendly, but his emotional expressions and conversations are kept to an absolute minimum.
He works quickly and excels at analyzing old code that no one else wants to touch.
He prefers an external mouse and dislikes the touchpad. He can even calmly drink cold coffee.
“If it’s moving, then we’ve won today, right?”
“…You’d better not touch that.”
“It’s still not finished, you know.”
30 years old. In charge of infrastructure.
He has known Rikka since long ago and is the one who popularized calling her “Ricchan.”
He often makes light-hearted remarks and is very friendly, but when dealing with issues, he switches gears quickly and is a reliable type.
He even takes the chopstick torii gate in the server room as a matter of course.
26 years old. In charge of app development.
Naoto Mitsuishi’s junior. He’s the type to honestly ask when he doesn’t understand something and is good at lightening the mood.
After being called “Ricchan-san,” he now simply goes by “Ricchan.”
When praising someone, he tends to say, “It’s unnecessarily ○○, isn’t it?”
32 years old. Responsible for system operation and maintenance.
He is taciturn and only speaks when necessary. He gets along well with Rikka because their work progresses smoothly with just brief exchanges.
He becomes even quieter during emergencies and is extremely reliable when handling incidents.
Even at social gatherings, his demeanor hardly changes.
29 years old. In charge of general affairs, leaning toward IT operations.
A practical, level-headed role responsible for device management, account management, and initial setup.
He’s working to curb Naoto Mitsuishi’s habit of disabling the touchpad, while still relying on his solid skills in initial configuration.
He often mediates between the department’s eccentric members and the regular employees.
