Tokyo Self-Defense Forces

[Regarding the incident in which your stepson, Hideki Hoshino, insulted you in person, your choice is:]

[One: Pretend nothing happened. (Reward: 1000 yen)]

[Two: Try to reach a reconciliation with him. (Reward 1 point of gentleness)]

[Three: Launch a self-defense counterattack. (Free attribute point +1)]

Of course, it’s self-defense!

Hoshino really doesn't need option one or option two.

He glared sideways: "Hmm?"

"I'm... sorry!" Hoshino Hideki, the bootlicker, had to humbly swallow up his temper in order to fulfill his promise to Tsukishima Yuri.

Little can't bear it.

It will disrupt the grand plan.

However, if you endure too much, sometimes your mental state will change.

For example, right now, the image began to emerge involuntarily in Hideki Hoshino's mind again.

A woman, being led by a man.

The woman got on all fours.

So naturally, what the man holds can only be the rope.

This scene is the plot of the comic that Hoshino Hideki just read last night, except that the faces of the characters in the story are replaced by his mother and Hoshino Makoto.

It just corresponds to what Hoshino Makoto just said about him training his mother and the possible scene that might happen.

Very exciting.

It made the young man's blood boil.

Hoshino Hideki, whose body reacted, immediately came to his senses and secretly called himself an idiot.

"Don't worry, brother. I will go to bed early tonight."

After saying that, the boy slapped himself hard, then ran down the stairs without stopping.

He was afraid that if he continued talking to Hoshino Makoto, he would continue to fantasize that Hoshino Makoto had become his mother's master.

This fantasy brought him very strange emotions.

Not angry.

Not sad.

On the contrary, there is a little bit of expectation.

"You're such an idiot. I praised you yesterday, and today you fell into a woman's trap."

Looking at the receding back of Hoshino Hideki, Hoshino Makoto sighed silently.

As a man who loves his work, Hoshino Makoto has the habit of checking his mobile phone messages every morning in case he fails to receive his boss's orders in time.

So naturally, it was impossible for him not to know that Tsukishima Yuri often looked for him, and the little thoughts that Tsukishima Yuri had about him.

According to common sense.

No man will remain indifferent to a very beautiful girl with good looks and figure.

Hoshino couldn't do it either.

So when Tsukishima Yuri reached out to Hoshino Makoto, Hoshino Makoto did not refuse.

But afterwards, Hoshino really felt that this little girl was quite good in terms of academic performance and self-reliance, so he did not reply to her, hoping that time would heal her inexplicable feelings for him.

I hope she can have a good home instead of staying around a scumbag like me.

Unexpectedly, Hoshino Makoto ignored Tsukishima Yuri, and Tsukishima Yuri actually changed direction to attack.

"Would you like to come to my house again through Hideki?"

"Tsk!"

"The little girl is really troublesome. When she comes over this time, let's talk it out with her."

Two hours later.

Mihara Co., Ltd., fourth floor.

There were several guests in Hoshino Makoto's office.

"哐——!"

Seeing the middle-man in the lead, Hoshino Makoto was very tactful and took the initiative to stand up, gave up his seat, bowed and respectfully invited Dong Yuanxian, the director of the product management headquarters, to come over.

"Hoshino-kun, how do you feel? Is the sofa in the vice-minister's office more comfortable to sit on than the one in the section chief's office?"

Dong Yuanxian lay on his back, and a beautiful female section chief immediately walked behind him and pressed the head of the most powerful boss in the headquarters.

Hoshino had really seen this female section chief before.

It is Masami Nagasawa who had previously wanted to run for the position of vice minister.

Hoshino Makoto looked at her, then looked at the other people in the office.

Except for Masato Okita who served as a background figure, all the others were section chiefs who were nominated for the vice-ministerial election together with Makoto Hoshino.

For a moment, Hoshino really found it hard to understand why Dong Yuanxian would bring such a group of people into his office and ask such questions.

I could only bite the bullet and answer: "Of course I have to sit better. All of this depends on your promotion, Mr. Director."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Yuanxian suddenly asked.

“I’m afraid it’s not that comfortable to sit on!”

【Ding! 】

[Regarding the matter where your boss Dong Yuanxianzhong humiliated you and tried to intimidate you, your choice is:]

[One: Pretend nothing happened. (Reward: 100000 yen)]

[10: Lower your eyebrows and say yes repeatedly. (Reward the turtle slave with points)]

[Three: Launch a self-defense counterattack. (Free attribute point +3)]

150 My Bones Are Too Hard to Kneel (Supplement)

awkward.

Quiet.

The atmosphere in the office became cold because of Dong Yuanxian's words.

Okita Masato frowned and winked at Hoshino Shin wildly. In his opinion, it was a common thing for a boss to belittle his subordinates.

Even in Tokyo and Japan as a whole, this kind of trivial matter is ingrained into everyone's daily routine.

It's not worth it for people to get upset over such a small matter.

But Hoshino didn't even smile, but just stood straight, standing there without saying a word.

Because in Hoshino Makoto's view, this is a dog training obedience test.

If he wanted Hoshino to be really obedient and just talk to him in private, that would be fine, but Dong Yuanxian chose to bring so many people along.

It was obvious that he was deliberately attacking Hoshino Makoto.

Let Hoshino Makoto become a docile dog under his control in front of everyone.

But the reason why Hoshino Makoto worked so hard to climb up and ruthlessly brought down so many people was not to be a dog for Dongyuan Xian.

Furthermore.

The ten points of turtle slave value rewarded by the system are really too cruel.

If he really obeyed, God knows what kind of cerebral palsy these ten points of turtle slavery value would turn Hoshino Makoto into. This further strengthened Hoshino Makoto's determination not to surrender.

So, even if time passes slowly in silence.

Hoshino Shinya firmly did not bow his head and say yes.

He had no intention of becoming a lapdog under Dong Yuanxian who would lick his face and wag his tail even after being beaten.

As the second hand moves again and again.

Okita Masato's face became more and more anxious. Although he really hoped that Hoshino Makoto would die, that was based on the premise that Hoshino Makoto had nothing to do with his daughter.

Now that his daughter Okita Rei is pregnant with Hoshino Makoto's child, Okita Masato has subconsciously treated Hoshino Makoto as his own and wants to rush over and pull Hoshino Makoto to kneel down on the spot.

But the minister is here, so he dare not act rashly.

The other section chiefs, such as Shimatani Kawa, Yoshidanagawa, etc., slowly put smiles on their faces, obviously waiting to see the joke of Hoshino Makoto, the inexplicable winner.

"It seems that Hoshino will not be able to hold on as acting vice minister for long."

This was everyone's inner thought, including Section Chief Masami Nagasawa who was pressing Dong Yuanxian's head.

What makes her slightly different from the others is that she feels a little sorry for Hoshino Makoto's charming face.

"Such a handsome guy, but unfortunately he is a tough guy."

"In Japan, those who are stubborn are not suitable for survival. For this little dignity, you have offended the head of Dongyuan. I think you will suffer in the future."

After staring at Hoshino Makoto's face for an unknown amount of time, Nagasawa Masami sighed and looked away.

This kind of man, no matter how handsome he is, is not her type if he doesn't know how to survive.

"Yami, why are you sighing, haha."

I don't know how long the silence lasted, but in the end, it was Dong Yuanxian, the director who started the trouble, who took the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere and started making a joke to everyone.

"Okita, what's wrong with your eyes? They keep twitching. I heard that eyelid twitching can bring good fortune or disaster. Is this good fortune or disaster for you?"

"And Shimatani Yoshida, what are you guys doing in silence? You came to Vice Minister Hoshino's office and just stared at him. It's a bit disrespectful to him. You are a bunch of rude guys."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present began to echo Dong Yuanxian, wagging their tails to the supreme director of the product management headquarters.

Except for Hoshino Makoto.

Because there is no need for Hoshino to agree anymore.

In his words just now, Dong Yuanxian only used the respectful title of "Vice Minister Hoshino" to Hoshino Shin.

This is an xenophobic signal.

In other words, from the moment Dong Yuanxian opened his mouth, Hoshino Makoto no longer belonged to Dong Yuanxian's circle.

In his office, he seemed out of place with this group of people.

After everyone joked for a while, Dong Yuanxian waved his hand, making the office quiet again. His face suddenly became serious and solemn, and it was obvious that something was going to happen.

"Deputy Director Hoshino, to be honest, I came to you this time because I have a task for you to do."

"Please give me your instructions, Mr. Director." Hoshino Makoto did not choose to continue to fight hard at work, as that would be a suicidal act.

If your leader's words make you unhappy and you don't listen, he will at most secretly deal with you but will not show it directly.

But if you don't do the work assigned by your leader, then he has a legitimate reason to ask you to say goodbye directly.

"This can be considered a legacy task. Your predecessor, Vice Minister Masataka Miyazawa, has been discussing a very important cooperation for three months, but it has not been concluded yet."

"I'll have someone give you the information about the cooperation in a while. Please take a closer look. If the cooperation can be concluded, then your acting deputy minister can be directly promoted to a full-time position."

in other words.

If the cooperation fails to be negotiated, then if Hoshino really becomes the acting vice minister, he can just resign directly.

This is a collaboration that Masataka Miyazawa, who has many years of experience, has failed to negotiate in three months, but a young kid like Hoshino Makoto has to do it.

Almost equivalent to explicit.

Hoshino Makoto's eyes dimmed. Dong Yuanxian had broken off relations with him, but he still retained a bit of dignity.

After explaining the task, they left the office without saying anything else, leaving Minister Masato Okita and Acting Vice Minister Makoto Hoshino staring at each other.

"Hey~!"

"idiot."

Okita Masato cursed in frustration:
