Going Back and Forth Between Earth and The Other World with Space Time Magic

Next morning, when I went to the company,

someone was having trouble at the reception desk in the company.

I can not speak English.[1]

You obviously can speak English!

The person who was talking to foreigner-san,

Im sorry.[2]

went away to escape with these words.

Foreigner-san who had been left behind shrugs her shoulders.

It can be helped, lets ask her.

Is there something wrong?

Oh, so you can speak English.

Im saved.

That woman who said so and turned around.

S-, Seiji!

was Nancy.

Why are you here, Nancy?

I came here for business.

Why are you here?

This is the company where Im working.

Seriously!?

When Nancy and I were having such a conversation in English

Yo! Maruyama-kun.

Youre keeping Nancy-san company right away, huh.

the Director appeared.

Eh?Does director know Nancy?

I know everything, the work that we talked about last week that needs english is about Nancy-san.

What!!?

Seiji, is something wrong?

No, I was surprised to hear that Nancys business partner was my department.

Is that so!?

Im relieved if Seiji is the business partner.

Nancy is delighted while shaking hands with me.

N?It seems Maruyama-kun and Nancy-sans relationship is very intimate, huh.

Youre too much of a playboy too.

How rude!

Thats not it, Nancy was an acquaintance from before, you know!?

W-, What!!?

Come to think of it, the first time I met Nancy was in front of this company.

She had probably come to this company on business and was on her way back at that time.

I heard that a meeting had been arranged so we moved to the meeting room at once.

-

Hereafter, Seiji is interpreting.

What, Im always the interpreter.

By the way, Nancy-san isnt accompanied by an interpreter this time too?

This time too?

I asked a different person to interpret from last time,

but he left me behind and went home because of a sudden stomach ache.

Did the interpreter last time also went home?

Last time, it was because of a headache.

Nancy is unlucky, huh~.

This time, since we will have Maruyama-kun to interpret with constant attendance, you can be relieved.

Me, with constant attendance!?

Oh!Im thankful for that!!

Director, I also have a work, though

No, no! Since Nancys business is the top priority,

all the other work has been passed to other people!

Seriously!?

Iyaa, sorry Im late.

Then, the president entered.

Does the president attending this meeting too?

Ah, of course.

At any rate, its a business with that famousNancyJewelry!

If this business succeeds, our companys popularity will be likean eel climbing up a waterfall[3]!!

Dont mix it up!

Nancys company is a famous one, huh.

Thats right, have you fallen in love all over again?

Is that so.

What, how cold~.

Well, its not my company, but mamas company.

As expected, shes the daughter of the president, huh!

Come to think of it, she was staying at a first-class hotel in Egypt.

-

After that, we properly talked about the business.

Somehow or other, it seems the business is localizing the system that is going to be used for the Japanese employees inNancyJewelrys Japanese store.

TheNancyJewelrywill be opening up a branch all over Japan hereafter.

I was told that the development of a network system connecting the branches with each other was the contract that our company was bound to undertake.

Thats the reason why the president and the director have become imperious.

By the way, Nancy. Have you gone sightseeing in Japan yet?

The director asks Nancy a question while rubbing his hands.

Its somewhat gross.

I couldnt go anywhere since the interpreter last time and this time too had gone home.

Thats no good!

Especially since you will be going to conduct business in Japan from now on,

you will know more about Japan after a Japan sightseeing!

Well, as an interpreter with constant attendance, lets have Maruyama-kun show her around Japan.

President!Thats a good idea!

Ill entrust it to you, Maruyama-kun!

The president and director suggested something strange.

ErrI also have a work, though

Business with Nancy takes precedence.

Because the company is going to give out an expense as an entertainment expense.

Are you serious!?

Since its not something like a civil servant partner, there should be no problem legally, but

I think its fine.

Seiji, what happened?

The president ordered me to accompany Nancy as an interpreter for your sightseeing in Japan, but.

Really!?Thats nice!

Nancy happily shook hands with the president.

Somehow or other, I dont seem to have a veto power.

***

As the first Japan sightseeing,

led by the president and the director,

Nancy was brought to thesushi shop.

Nancy, have you eaten a sushi before?

I have!

I like the California roll the most!

Umu, its no good

We were shown into a private room.

Nancy, are you fine with a raw fish?

Umu, I dont like it somewhat, I think?

Well then, are you fine with a wasabi?

Whats a wasabi?

Its also no good, huh

The president and the director saidextra special, four portionto the onee-san who had come to take the order.Listen properly to the preference of Nancy too!

Ah, excuse me, Id like to ask something slightly different for this ladys portion, would that be okay?

What, Maruyama-kun, theres nothing better than the extra special, you know?

Director, please be silent.

Since she doesnt seem to like raw fish and wasabi,

cook everything and with the exception of the fish, a wasabi-free sushi, please.

I understand, Ill ask the chef.

T-, Then

Yes.

Can you make a California roll?

Let me seeIll ask.

Its impossible indeed.

T-, Then

are there knives and forks?

As one would expect, that

Its no good, huh

-

After waiting for a while,

the three servings of the extra special sushi

and a special sushi with California roll for Nancy were brought in.

The woman who brought the sushi had a stiff face.

A fork and knife, with the permission granted by the person in the shop,

were taken out from the inventory and were given to Nancy.

The home of California roll, delicious!!

Amazing!

Fantastic!!

Nancy was delighted, eating the California roll with the fork and knife.

But, Nancy.

Isnt the home of California roll not Japan?

Other than that, she seemed to be pleased with the grilled fatty cut (of tuna belly), salmon, conger eel, eggs, and etc.

Well, its good if youre glad!

By the way, Seiji.

Why is the one youre eating somewhat white-ish?

This is a squid sushi.

Yuck!

That white and red one?

This is an octopus sushi.

Yucky!

a devilfish!

Does Nancy want to eat it too?

No, thank you.

Right~.

There are various differences in the culture~.
