Chapter 11
“Huh?”
“You could just quit—or even apply for a transfer to another department, claiming you're not adjusting or something.”
It was pretty clear he didn’t think much of our department. I responded blankly.
“There hasn’t been anything serious enough to warrant that...”
“You don’t need to be so self-conscious. Just be honest. Getting chewed out like that and you’re saying it’s not serious?”
“Yes. In the Scroll Management Department, this kind of thing is just an ordinary, uneventful day.”
At my polite answer, Kiaros clicked his tongue in disbelief.
“Sounds like a department that could shut down any minute.”
If I quit, I wouldn’t get paid...
Still, as for why I hadn’t submitted a transfer request due to ‘poor adjustment’... honestly, I didn’t really know myself.
Or maybe I did?
‘It’s just that... I really do like scrolls.’
