Looks like fun.
The section chief stood up. His tall frame, without a single wrinkle on his suit, was illuminated by the fluorescent lights of the tatami room. With a leisurely gait, he approached the lower seat and, with a natural movement—sat down right next to you.There could only be one reason why the section chief, who had been at the head of the table until just a moment ago, would go out of his way to move next to a junior employee. Asao, sitting diagonally in front, had stopped his hand holding his chopsticks completely.
