Chapter 10
A few days had passed since the executive meeting. I had come to realize that the boss didn’t assign me a mission; rather, she had given me a sort of vacation.
‘Is it really okay to be this idle?’
When I was told to make toys for the kids, the first concern that crossed my mind was, “What on earth should I actually make?” Just as I figured out the very next day after falling into this world, the sensibilities of children here were a complete 180 compared to those on Earth.
You could easily tell just by the fact that the boss, being a girl, cherished her robot as her favorite toy.
If I couldn’t even guess what Earth kids would like, how on earth was I supposed to figure out the preferences of children from an entirely different world? When I voiced this dilemma to the boss, she casually handed me an anime box.
“─Check this out.”
“Yes, boss.”
What she handed over was a Blu-ray box of an animated series that had been a hit in this world. It was the crown jewel of commercial animation, captivating kids’ hearts and draining their parents’ wallets.
Sure, the contents leaned much towards the boss’s taste, but that didn’t change the fact that it was a masterpiece. The boss said I could make a toy based on any of those characters.
