"Hey, ......, this isn't good!　What am I going to do!"

　How many times have I repeated this soliloquy? I was now wandering around the hotel room alone, trying to calm myself down.

　Chief Hirasawa took me to his love hotel room and immediately went into the bathroom to take a shower. Now I am left alone in the room.......

※love hotels:Accommodation for sexual intercourse. Facilities unique to Japan.

　But still, what!

　Why is Chief Hirasawa looking so calm!

　Why does he look so familiar with this love ...... hotel!

　Chief Hirasawa is single and I've never heard of him having a girlfriend.

　I've never even heard of any rumors of a female relationship.

　And yet ...... what's with that invitations?

　He gives off a mysterious vibe, like a vampire or a king of the night ......

　I'm the one who's ...... so easily followed!

　I was so easy to go along with. ......

　I dived onto the bed and flapped my legs.

　Embarrassment and self-loathing swirled in my chest, messing up my emotions.

　I begin to resent the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom.

“...... I'll watch some TV to calm myself down.”

I find the TV remote on the bedside table and turn on the TV.

"......What?　What is this?”

　What appeared on the TV was an adult video. I hurriedly changed the channel, but all I could see was porn.

"What should I do?　How does it work?　The first thing that comes to mind is that I've never been in a love hotel,......, and I've never been with a man in the first place....... ”

　Suddenly, all my bad memories of my past came back to me.

　ーーI don't have very good memories of men.

　My parents divorced when I was in my senior year of elementary school. I went to live with my mother, who was still young and let her boyfriend live in the house.

　That boyfriend almost attacked me more than once.

　To protect myself, I cut my long hair, which I loved, and joined the Nippon Kempo Club, a sweaty club that killed my feminine charm.

　I always looked at my partner's face to avoid being attacked, and made constant efforts to avoid attracting his attention.

　Because of this, men I met in high school and college always called me “boring” and "plain”.

　――Eventually, I gave up on the idea of falling in love.

“Who the hell am I anyway ......”

“...... you had a taste for that?”

“Huh?"

　I turned around, giving a curt reply as I was suddenly called out.

　But the sight before me startled me so much that my mind went blank.

“What's wrong?"

“Who is it?"

　ーーThe man in front of me was not Chief Hirasawa.

　A beautiful boy with short, layered black hair was standing there. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　He was wearing only pants and his upper body was naked, but just looking at him made me drool.

"Who's that?　I'm Hirasawa.“

”You're a different person!　Where did the real Chief Hirasawa go!“

"So it's me――oh, I see. I usually wear a disguise.“

”Disguise!“

　I tried to clear my head while I was flapping my mouth.

　But I couldn't think at all. But I'm sure that if you look at his eyes, they look a lot like the eyes he had when he was smiling that bewitching smile.

”By the way, can I change the channel to ......?　If you want to see more, I'll wait.“

”What?　I haven't seen ......!　I'm not watching it, so please change the channel as soon as possible!"

　The TV screen was showing images of some pretty hardcore fun. Women are being tied up with ropes and whipped with whips, but ...... let's be clear, I don't have a millimeter of taste for that kind of thing!

　But what on earth does this beautiful boy ...... Chief Hirasawa watch on his channel?

　Or rather, will he show me his recommended videos and I will be embraced as he does?

　ーーBut when he changed the channel, I saw the face of someone I did not expect at all.

”Good work, boss."

”Good work, Hirasawa-kun. Good job to you too, Hasegawa-san.“

”What ...... president?"

　The person on the TV was the president of the company we work for.

　The fact that we were able to have a conversation with him suggests that we were having a video call right now.

"I need to explain to you first. Hirasawa-kun hasn't explained anything to you yet, has he?"

"...... Yes. What is it?　I thought I was taken into a hotel, but then the president of the company was projected on the screen. What are they going to do to me now?"

　The president, seeing my reaction, sighed and held his head in his hands.

"Hah ...... Hirasawa-kun. Your lack of words is your weakness. Think about the other party.“

”Yes."

　He's replying, but he definitely doesn't understand!

"Let me explain another face of our company, Mr. Hasegawa. Let me explain the other face of our company. Ostensibly, we are a distributor of office equipment. But we also have another role as “Private Intelligence”.

"What?　What? Private intelligence ......?　You mean private tutors?“

"Ha-ha-ha!　That would be nice and peaceful. But unfortunately, it is not. In plain words, we are a private spy organization.“

”Spy!?“

　I was already too surprised to feel any emotion.

"Yes. My country, Japan, is in danger. There are tens of thousands of spies in the country because of the lack of anti-spy law. That's why the private sector needs to stand up to protect Japan."

I don't understand such a thing even if it is said out of the blue.

　I have never seen a spy. I know of the familiar horrors that have tried to sexually assault me, but I had never thought ...... that the underworld really existed like it does in the movies.

”You know those shady jobs that are all the rage these days?　Now we are pursuing this case.“

”Shady jobs are the ones where people are forced to commit criminal acts under the guise of a profitable part-time job, right?　What does that have to do with spying?“

”We believe there is a foreign power behind this. Our mission before us is to find out who that organization is.“

”I see. ...... Then why was I brought here?"

※Shady jobs：「闇バイト」A crime that is becoming a social problem in Japan. The act of having a person commit a criminal act under the guise of a part-time job to earn money.

　I didn't understand the situation I was in when they explained it to me.

　It was none of my business and there was nothing I could do about it, even if I had been told about such underworld affairs.

“That's because, Hirasawa-kun reported to me that Hasegawa-san had a talent as a spy. "

”What?　...... yeah!"

　I looked at Chief Hirasawa with my mouth open in a pout. Then he began to explain.

”Hasegawa-san has a keen eye for observation. She was able to detect a company that at first glance appeared to be an ordinary company as a yakuza company. She is also very dexterous with her hands and can perform magic tricks. When I checked his background, I found that she has very high physical ability from working in a magic bar, Nippon Kempo club and underground idol dance experience.“

”When did you check him out!“

　You are indeed a spy. My privacy is no longer a concern. Disgusting.

”And the best part is“

”...... what is it?“

”You don't stand out. That's the best part!“

”......“

　The president held his head in his hands.

　But the words sunk in for me.

　ーーI had been killing myself by worrying about what people around me would think.

　I never thought the day would come when I would be praised for that.

“......are you asking me to become a spy?”

“If that's what you want. At least, I think I'm better suited for the job than I am now.“

”...... Let me think about it for a minute. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do. I will seriously consider it."

　heart beating faster. I put my hand on my chest and thought about the future that was suddenly presented to me.

”Thank you. Well, it's late today, so let's spend the night here. "

"Yes. ...... Eh?　Huh?"

　The president and I looked astonished, but Chief Hirasawa didn't seem to be aware of our reaction.
