State Your Name! The Alt Account Appears

After the incident.

"Save me..." Ryunosuke Akasaka let out a miserable scream.

"Hmm, after all that tossing and turning, it feels pretty comfortable going in and out, doesn't it? My ears don't even itch anymore." Sogo Doma lay to the side, accompanied by the beautiful women who had answered his call.

He looked incredibly relaxed, but one look at Ryunosuke Akasaka—

It felt like these two guys belonged to completely different worlds.

"Enough!" The first to concede was the silver-haired loli. She had no choice; what could you expect from someone who had already passed out?

Her attitude was so poor, no wonder she hadn't even hit puberty yet.

After collecting the money, Sogo Doma smiled like a fox that had successfully stolen a chicken.

The silver-haired loli left as well.

However.

They were leaving the beach.

As she was about to leave, the silver-haired loli asked, "Name?"

Sogo Doma: "?"

"I'm asking for your name. I am Masuzu Natsukawa. I hope you remember me."

Sogo Doma clapped his hands together: "Masuzu Natsukawa..."

Who the hell is that?

He glanced at the still-unconscious Ryunosuke Akasaka. Whoever she was, just playing along was the right move! Sogo D.oma nodded affirmatively.

"Masuzu Natsukawa, I've got it!"

Even so, he had a few guesses in his mind—

From the Natsukawa Family, is it? Sogo Doma thought, rubbing his chin.

Masuzu Natsukawa felt exhausted: "Your name."

"Hi, Hijikata, Toshiro Hijikata!"

"Toshiro Hijikata, is it? I've remembered you!" Masuzu Natsukawa nodded with satisfaction and walked further away.

Watching those retreating figures, Sogo Doma muttered, "Hahaha... Toshiro Hijikata can handle it, right?"

Anyway, the Natsukawa Family's sphere of influence wasn't in Japan. Otherwise, he would have made those people understand what a real beating from society felt like.

Well, for now, whatever. If they really angered that guy Toshiro Hijikata, the Kondo Group would make them understand plenty of things...

But for now—

Sogo Doma looked at the unconscious Ryunosuke Akasaka beside him.

"@_@!"

"Oh, Ryunosuke Akasaka—who did this to you? Tell me quickly. I, Sogo Doma, will never let them off. Anyone who dares to mess with my people, I won't let them off. Speak, who was it—as long as they aren't stronger than me, it doesn't matter who they are!"

Sogo Doma, pretending to have amnesia, said with a look of shock.

Come to think of it, had he forgotten something?

Sogo Doma frowned in thought. Thirty seconds later, his eyes widened.

"Didn't I come here to find Umaru? I @#￥#￥#@..." Finally, he let out a roar: "Umaru!"

This shout drew the attention of countless people on the beach.

But how could Sogo Doma care about that now?

He searched everywhere, but where was the shadow of that good-for-nothing little sister?

Hehehe...

She must have left while he was delayed earlier. This was all Ryunosuke Akasaka's fault, right? It had to be Ryunosuke Akasaka, right?

Ryunosuke Akasaka, who was unconscious like a salted fish: "..."

In the end, after a fruitless search, Sogo Doma headed home, feeling dejected.

Watching his boss's dejected appearance, Ryunosuke Akasaka assumed the guy was reflecting deeply and wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but...

Sogo Doma's eyes emitted an evil light—don't ask me what an evil light looks like, if you want to know, ask Ryunosuke Akasaka: "It was you, wasn't it? If you hadn't been dragging your feet in the changing room..."

"Eh?" Ryunosuke Akasaka looked bewildered.

Sogo Doma, who was definitely not evil, stepped forward: "Wahahaha, have you ever felt despair?"

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "WHAT?"

"Driver, stop the car!"

Ryunosuke Akasaka: "??"

"Get out and walk home from here!"

"Don't mess around, it's at least a two-hour walk from here to my house."

"Two hours?" Sogo Doma stroked his chin again. "Wow, you're really lucky. You can get home in just two hours."

Looking at Sogo Doma's smiling face, Ryunosuke Akasaka panicked. "Hey, hey, you're, you're joking, right?"

"Well then, goodbye!"

Reality slapped Ryunosuke Akasaka across the face. Ah, so it wasn't a joke after all.

WTF.

He, Ryunosuke Akasaka, would rather die of thirst or hunger than keep this job... Ryunosuke Akasaka thought this while braving the midday sun.

And then.

The next day.

Armed with a weapon—ahem, armed with a resignation letter—Ryunosuke Akasaka felt like he was walking on air.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Sogo Doma typing something on his keyboard.

Ryunosuke Akasaka stepped forward, watching as lines of code appeared on the screen—

"Uh, so it can be done this way..."

"Can this part be simplified? No, it's not just simplification; this makes the entire program run faster..."

"Wait, and this part is..."

The more he pondered, the deeper Ryunosuke Akasaka's realization became. However, his gaze caused Sogo Doma to pause and look up. "What is it?"

Ryunosuke Akasaka gave a sheepish laugh. "Nothing, just wanted to ask what you're planning to eat later, Boss."

Resign?

What is resigning?

Why would he resign when he has a master this skilled sitting right here? Does he look stupid? Isn't it better to learn from a master?

Yeah!

It's truly better.

That was Ryunosuke's mindset.

As for Sogo Doma, who had just returned from the beach, he was like this—slumped over like a salted fish that hadn't been cleaned. If he were on a bed, he'd probably have a book dropped on his face—not to sleep, but to think.

"I'm home~" he said listlessly. Since no one would answer anyway, he wanted to find a book to put on his face; perhaps it would help him calm down.

But just then, a certain dumpling-like figure appeared:

"I know, Onii-chan, you're so slow. It's a holiday, yet you keep running off..."

"Umaru!?" Sogo Doma looked shocked. How could this girl be here?

A certain dumpling: "Eh? What's wrong?"

Sogo Doma: "..."

A certain dumpling: "By the way, Onii-chan, we're out of cola at home, the potato chips are running low, and we need octopus legs, dried squid... So, when are we going to restock? Home always forbids this and that, so it's better when Onii-chan..."

Before she could finish, Sogo Doma felt a vein pop on his forehead. "Umaru!"

Umaru Doma: "Eh?"

Onii-chan seems angry. Activating skill: Umaru's Innocence.

Sogo, furious, Doma: "...Fine, I give up."

"By the way, weren't you guys going to the beach?"

"Ugh!" Umaru Doma gestured with her fingers. "Because the beach we were going to was very far, not in Chiba or Tokyo, and Nanako wasn't feeling well, so we didn't go."

Well done, Nanako!

Sogo Doma gave a mental thumbs-up.

"As for me, because Onii-chan would probably get angry..."

"I wouldn't!"

"You would!"

"I wouldn't, I wouldn't!"

Like two children.

Although he didn't find Umaru at the beach this time, it allowed Sogo Doma to discover a new joy: it turns out that a long-haired black-haired boy is really interesting to tease—ah, spit, I mean, it's really interesting to make games with him.

Like the hot springs.

"Hey, hey, this is a mixed bath, right? There is absolutely no way I'm going in..."

"Ryunosuke, the company has already rented this place out. The colleagues are all inside. Women? How could there be women? Electronic programming doesn't need women!"

And then.

A group of women in their thirties, perhaps forties, swarmed forward.

"Wow, it really is long, straight, black hair..."

"Look at this skin..."

Watching this scene unfold, Ryunosuke Akasaka felt: I seem to have been set up again!

Then he fell into a faint...

Sogo Doma watched Ryunosuke Akasaka, who remained unmoved despite being surrounded by the crowd, and muttered to himself: "Mm, I truly am a benevolent person who looks out for his employees."
