Chapter 12 – This is a Fun Workplace

There was an awkward silence in the car on the way back from the quest.

It usually wasn’t like this. The use of spreadsheets in the day’s quest, the combination of functions used, the oddities of spreadsheet compositions. As Excel experts, there was no end to the topics that could be discussed. “The formulas were so confusing”, “I can’t forgive how they used the functions”, “Wouldn’t that spreadsheet be better if they used a different function?”. Here in Google Spreadsheets, we were the workers in a fun workplace, a paradise for Excel experts.

IMAGE functions weren’t your usual functions. We mainly dealt with numbers, dates, and text. Text was also not so much general text, but rather just words, there was almost nothing special to pay attention to. Tokyo, advertisement A, Yamada, free device contract, we lived in a plain world. However, images were different.

Most of the IMAGE functions that Inoue processed had been advertisements for the BL manga, the ones Inoue was hoping for. Only the last one was for men and it was something that could only be found on those kinds of sites. There wasn’t anything we could do about it.

The mere appearance of those images was already extremely awkward, but Saito’s words made the situation even worse.

“Well, in the movies, they often put up nude posters in the offices and locker rooms. Hahaha……”

 

Political correctness.

Those words came to mind, but I couldn’t say it. I’m sure he didn’t mean to offend anyone. Saito had come to this world 6-7 years ago. Before Saito’s reincarnation, the words ‘political correctness’ were rarely used. More than anything else, Saito’s thoughts seemed to have become warped from watching too many western movies. It was nothing short of unfortunate.

 

The next morning, when we got to the office, the clerk told Inoue and I that Saito had been suspended for three days.
