Chapter 1: Makoto Kenji’s Monitor.
"Hey, Kenji-san! Could you please input this into the system for me?" Miyuki Ozaku said as she handed her paperwork to Makoto Kenji.
Suddenly, another woman barged into his office with a distressed expression on her face. "Kenji-san, I need you to help me write the report for the work you did for me last week. The boss was really impressed and wants to give me a promotion!" Mayumi Haruna said, a hopeful look in her eyes.
"Alright, you two. I'll help you input and write them down for you. It shouldn't take more than two hours," Kenji responded with a sincere smile on his face.
Boom!
The door was suddenly flung open as two men rushed in, looking distressed. "Kenji-san, we got into trouble, and now we have to be on night duty. But today is our daughters' birthday, and we promised we wouldn't miss it. Could you take our place tonight?!" the two said simultaneously, their faces flustered.
"Oh! Uzumaki Haru and Yuji Minato, that is very troubling indeed. Well, don't sweat it, guys. I'll help you by taking your place on night duty today," Kenji exclaimed with a warm smile.
"Thank you, Kenji-san! We really appreciate it!" the four said, bowing slightly before turning around and immediately leaving the office.
"Well, let's begin," Kenji said as he turned back to his computer screen and began doing his co-workers' tasks, neglecting his own work for the moment.
Makoto Kenji, an overworked, underpaid, too-kind-for-his-own-good twenty-one-year-old man. He worked in a monster company that sought to drain every ounce of energy from its employees.
Because he was too kind, Kenji became a target for his co-workers, who saw him as the fool onto whom they could dump their work while they went off to have fun.
At first, it was difficult and time-consuming to help his "friends." Sometimes, he would even forget his own work to complete theirs, causing him to be ridiculed by his boss while his co-workers were showered with praise for the work he had done.
