Chapter 169
On the day of assignment.
"Let's all congratulate our Agent Grapes on his official appointment~!!"
"..."
"Wahahaha! How about a team dinner tonight? Our team's overtime meal allowance for this month has stacked up quite a bit, right? How much do I have again? Anyway, it's on me!"
Wow.
I received the team's welcome in the waiting room of Black Tortoise Team 1, eyes already resigned to everything.
Honestly, calling it a 'welcome' didn't feel quite right. I saw them just a few days ago.
It's just that today, I'd been officially confirmed to be a member of Black Tortoise Team 1!
"...I look forward to working with you."
"...Yes."
Incidentally, the senior who said he'd do his best to voice his opinion so I could be assigned to a different team was here as well.
Agent Bronze, even while shaking my hand, avoided my gaze.
