Chapter 3: Sudden Isekai Summoning and the Shameful Exposure of My Skills
"How did this even happen?"
I, Ikou Kurosu, was sitting in what appeared to be an audience chamber within a royal palace.
A king dressed in medieval-style clothing sat on a throne, and beside him was a princess-like figure in a flamboyant dress.
Additionally, there were what seemed to be royal advisors and maids, all of whom were staring at me.
(I was just heading to the convenience store to buy a late-night snack before getting back to my take-home work...)
My company had given me an obviously excessive workload.
For the sake of so-called "work-life balance," overtime in the office was strictly forbidden.
However, the workload was impossible to finish within working hours, so it was an unspoken rule at my company, Big Limonta Corp, to take work home voluntarily.
Of course, if a problem arose, it would be considered the employee's "personal responsibility."
Anyone who objected would be transferred to a dead-end position. That's why nobody spoke up.
This system, devised by upper management obsessed with cost-cutting and self-preservation, was marketed as employees "voluntarily taking work home," but in reality, it was nothing more than forced compliance.
