My name is Asuka Kirara. Although the company's performance has been steadily improving due to Mikusu's influence, us regular employees haven't felt any real benefit in our salaries. The harsh reality is that without a promotion, there's no raise, and I've been quietly blending into the background. But with rumors of layoffs spreading, anyone could be affected. I can't take it anymore. To survive this black company, I must seriously aim for the top. Working in the planning department and maintaining my naturally agreeable personality, I strive to navigate office politics while building my career. This story portrays my inner struggles, personal conflicts, and desperate efforts to survive and succeed.
