Daily life in Zongman

Joyful laughter echoed in the bedroom. The little princess, who was only 14 years old mentally, was extremely happy.

"I'm going to the office building to work. Do you want to come with me? We can play nearby, but don't go too far."

Looking at the petite princess in his arms, he felt more and more like he was raising a daughter.

"Yeah~ I'm going~"

Latifah's reply was simple and clear, without as many formalities as in the past, and became more casual.

He brought the little princess to the office building, ready to start his work as the amusement park manager today, and then he found that the acting manager, Chito Isuzu, had a very ugly face.

"what happened?"

Sento Isuzu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Fujiwara Haru return. She had already been acting manager for three days. Although she had always been acting manager in the past, the amusement park had long since declined, and there was little to deal with on a daily basis. She only needed to think about how to save the amusement park.

But I haven't come up with a good solution after thinking about it for half a year.

Now, the amusement park has been completely renovated and adopted the right management approach, and it has been revived and started to develop in just a few days. This means that the position of manager has to deal with a lot of employees, guests, and events every day, which are extremely complicated.

This left Sento Isuzu, who came from the Imperial Guards, unable to cope. He barely managed to survive three days, but also left a lot of unfinished matters waiting for Fujiwara Haru to take over.

She was just thinking that if Fujiwara Haru didn't come today, and she served as acting manager for another day, there would be a high probability that she would not be able to maintain the normal operation of the amusement park and there would be chaos.

This is also the reason why she instantly relaxed when she saw Fujiwara Haru arrive on time at nine o'clock.

She listened to the question and was silent for a long time. If it was three days ago, she would have insisted that nothing was wrong. If it was before she was defeated during their first meeting, she would not even have a good attitude.

But now, she whispered back, "Master Fujiwara, I'm sorry I haven't been able to handle all the affairs properly during my time as acting governor. If you hadn't come today, there might have been trouble."

"Not really. With the department heads and park foremen here, you only need to handle their needs and difficult issues. You don't need to formulate new development strategies."

Fujiwara Haru found it quite strange, as he thought being a manager and handling the daily affairs of an amusement park was quite easy.

Then I entered the office and saw a pile of documents.

Em... Could it be that nothing has been done about the past three days?

Sit down, pick up a document, and let me see what's going on!

The first one was a report saying that some guests had sneaked into the staff cafeteria to eat together recently. The department head in charge of the cafeteria was unsure how to deal with the matter, so he reported the matter and asked whether he should kick the guests out or what else should be done.

Fujiwara Haru thought about it and ordered the installation of identity verification gates at the entrance to the employee area. Only employees could enter by swiping their work ID cards, thus directly eliminating the possibility of guests entering.

This was an oversight in the renovation of the amusement park. We were previously busy renovating the internal facilities of the amusement park, and some of the staff areas were overlooked.

After finishing this report, he moved on to the next matter, which was about the rehearsal of Blue Ocean's summer show. The minister's feedback on the rehearsal...

Fujiwara Haru got into work mode, quickly addressing the various unresolved issues left over from the past three days. Chito Isuzu was no longer acting manager, having returned to her position as secretary. She felt relieved to be carrying out orders without having to worry about them herself.

Princess Latifah was watching the two busy people from the side. She sat on a chair, folded her hands on her thighs, and remained quiet.

She really wanted to go up and help, but felt that it would cause trouble, so she didn't say anything. She just listened and learned silently from the side.

The former amusement park manager, Lati Favrelanza, had received an excellent royal education, which included languages, mathematics, history, vocal music, etiquette, and after the age of 12, he began to learn some politics and magic.

Then, at the age of 14, she was cursed and sent to the earth. As a result, she did not receive much political education and was not good at managing the amusement park.

In the past, she was also very weak, unable to handle affairs for long periods of time, and often even unable to leave Red Maple Castle. In addition, her personality was too gentle and kind, and she didn't know how to refuse others' requests, which often led to her good intentions leading to bad consequences.

All of this led to various problems constantly appearing in the amusement park during her management, and it eventually slowly declined.

In the second half of each year, Latifah realizes she has no talent for management, but when she tries to get someone else to take over, she's met with opposition. Gancheng Guanghui Amusement Park is the "pastoral garden" of Maple Paradise, a place that ordinary people cannot touch.

This feudal kingdom mentality that one cannot act without an "identity" forced her to continue trying to manage the amusement park on her own, but she failed every year. Finally, after her memory was erased, she started over again.

This year there is a change, Chito Isuzu comes and serves as the acting manager to try to save the amusement park.

But she didn't do it, and nothing changed.

Until the arrival of the brave man, the amusement park on the verge of destruction was saved from its limit.

Latifah doesn't know what the future will be like, but she believes that things will get better and better.

Time passed slowly, and by noon, Fujiwara Haru had finished dealing with all the problems left over from the past three days.

He stood up and stretched his body, thinking back to the pile of matters he had just dealt with, and confirmed one thing: from now on, Sendou Isuzu could no longer be the acting manager.

But why are there so many simple things left unaddressed?

He looked at Sendou Isuzu beside him and said, "Sendou, I want to know. In the first report today, regarding the guest entering the staff cafeteria, what are your thoughts? Why didn't you deal with it in time and let him stay?"

Sendou Isuzu was silent for a moment, then replied, "We can't just kick the guests out, as that would tarnish the park's image, but we can't have them eat in the cafeteria either, as too many guests would cause trouble. I didn't know what to do, so I left it there."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Does Qiandou know anything about identity verification gates?"

Sendou Isuzu shook his head: "I'm sorry, Master Fujiwara, I don't know much about this machine."

She had only been on the surface for a year, so she was only familiar with the most common things in the modern world. The amusement park's entrance used manual ticket checking, not turnstiles, which she had never encountered.

Fujiwara Haru roughly understood what was going on. Putting aside the fact that Chito's education was mostly focused on martial arts and she knew nothing about administration, even her common sense was that of the Magic Kingdom, not that of surface human society.

For most of the things she encountered, she didn't have enough social common sense to think of a good solution.

It is somewhat inappropriate to let guards who lack common sense manage the amusement park.

"I see. Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't notice this aspect before, and made you do something you're not good at."

Sento Isuzu looked at Fujiwara Haru who apologized decisively, remained silent, and pursed her lips.

Wasn't it her incompetence that caused all this? Wasn't it her stubbornness that caused all this? Wasn't it her fault?

Why, he wants to apologize...

Chito Isuzu couldn't understand.

「It’s me who should apologize……」

Chapter 307 Speedrun Ganhui Amusement Park ⑩-DLC.

Chito Isuzu, who has always been tough and arrogant, gradually became less arrogant during the three days he served as acting manager.

On her first day as acting manager, she thought that since she had been assisting the company smoothly during her time as secretary, it wouldn't be a problem for her to take over the job directly as acting manager. Furthermore, she had been an acting manager before and had experience, so she thought nothing would go wrong.

Then she worked overtime until nine o'clock in the evening on the first night. Because other employees had left work, she could no longer handle the remaining work and left it to the next day.

The next day on the agency job, Chito Isuzu was full of energy and prepared to spend the day to deal with the things left over from yesterday and today's matters.

Then I worked overtime again until late at night and left more work unfinished.

When she heard she had to act as agent for another day on the third day, she wanted to admit she wasn't capable, to say she couldn't handle the role of agent manager. However, her elite upbringing and the arrogance of a life of constant praise, flattery, and success made her unwilling to admit failure, unwilling to admit she wasn't capable.

Chito Isuzu gritted her teeth and accepted the position of acting manager for the third day. Then, on the third day, she was once again dizzy and busy with work until late at night. On her way back to the dormitory, she heard some gossip.

"When will the boss come back? The canteen has not been dealt with for two days."

"Manager Fujiwara should be back tomorrow, just be patient and wait."

"I didn't think much of it before. I felt that as an acting manager, Isuzu might be a bit overbearing and unreasonable, but at least he was responsible and a good person. Now, looking at the comparison, I feel that the only thing left is the responsibility."

Chito Isuzu walked over, and the two stopped talking, greeted each other, and then walked away.

Back in the dorm, she undressed and sat in the bathtub. The bath that had once been so relaxing felt nothing at this moment. Her heart was swirling with loss, discomfort, and overflowing frustration.

Until today, she returned to her secretary position and assisted in handling all the remaining matters and today's affairs. When facing the manager in front of her, there was no longer a trace of arrogance in Sendou Isuzu's heart.

Being conquered by force made her no longer tough, and being conquered by her ability made her no longer arrogant.

It was noon when Fujiwara Haru finished asking Chito Isuzu about his knowledge of identity verification gates.

"I see. Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't notice this aspect before, and made you do something you're not good at."

When she heard these words, her first reaction was that all this was caused by her own lack of ability, not the problem of the young man in front of her, and she should be the one to apologize.

After a long silence, her strange "common sense" made her kneel on the ground, and then she began to take off her clothes and apologize.

"What are you doing?"

Fujiwara Haru was completely confused.

"I apologize. This is all my fault, not Fujiwara-sama's."

I used to think her apologizing by throwing herself on the ground was a bit strange, but it was also an act of apology, a personal habit, so I didn't say much. Now I realize that this is not a habit, but a simple lack of common sense about modern society.

"Okay, I can understand that the people of the magical kingdom have a misunderstanding of modern society on the surface, but this error is a bit too large."

Chito Isuzu folded the top of her secretary uniform and placed it on the ground, a little confused: "Isn't dogeza a gesture of apology?"

"..."

Fujiwara Haru was silent for a moment, then stopped him, saying, "You stand up first. Dogeza does express deep apology or earnest apology, but it's too traditional a way of apologizing. Few people use it these days, and even less so, the naked Dogeza."

Chito Isuzu obeyed the order and stood up, asking for confirmation: "It's just a bit traditional. I mean, this way of apologizing still exists now, right? And it's the way that can express apology to the greatest extent."

"Ah this..."

After careful thought and reflection, I found that it seemed to be true.

He shook his head, trying to regroup his thoughts, which had been led astray by her. "You're not entirely wrong to say that. The most sincere way to apologize would be to commit seppuku. And you don't need to apologize for this. It's my fault. I had you acting as manager for a while before, and I could tell at that time that you weren't suitable for the role of acting manager. But I didn't take it to heart, and the current result is my carelessness, not yours."

"No, it's my fault that I took over despite my lack of ability. It's not Fujiwara-sama's fault."

When facing the young man, Sento Isuzu no longer had any toughness or arrogance. She was completely convinced and thought that all this was her own problem.

"I don't want to dwell on this. Just put on your clothes. No need to apologize."

Fujiwara Haru ended the topic directly. He is now more free-spirited and will not dwell too much on trivial matters.

"Yes, Lord Fujiwara."

After hearing the order, Sendou Isuzu didn't say anything else and just did as he was told.

After tidying up the documents on the desk, he came over to the little princess who had been sitting next to him. Looking at her quietly waiting, he couldn't help but smile gently: "Let's go eat together."

"Hmm~"

After agreeing cheerfully, Princess Latifah stood up and followed him, feeling very happy.

Although she hadn't done much this morning, she felt incredibly happy just listening in. This was much, much better than just sitting in the castle.

This was what Princess Latifa longed for most during her stay in Maple Castle before her curse was lifted. To walk around the amusement park like everyone else, to play with everyone, to eat with everyone, to laugh with everyone.

Ordinary behavior, but it was what she longed for in the past.

Her eyes couldn't see clearly yet, but she could sense, hear, and touch.

The people in the cafeteria fell silent when she entered. Those nearby greeted her, "Your Highness Latifah, good afternoon."

"Your Highness Latifah, hello."

Greetings began to arrive one after another. Latifah maintained her composure and responded in unison.

"Eat normally. The princess will be walking around the amusement park frequently from now on. Don't be too enthusiastic. It will cause trouble for the princess."

Fujiwara Haru stopped the follow-up personnel from coming to greet him, and then began to serve dishes and rice.

They found a corner seat and the three of them sat down to eat together.

The cafeteria became much quieter until the three of them finished eating and left, then the noise returned to its previous state.

"Who is that princess? Why do I see everyone respecting her so much?"

The new employee whispered to the senior employee next to him.

"Her Highness Latifah is the princess of Gancheng Brilliant Amusement Park. You can understand her as the owner of this amusement park."

The old employee explained it to her.

"Eh? Isn't Fujiwara-sama's amusement park the largest?"

"Um……"

The old employee pondered for a moment and replied, "They are all the owners of the amusement park, and they are all the biggest."

"Oh, I see, boss and boss lady."

"That's not the relationship. You can think of it as the highest authority on the same level. And don't let Song Song Pancake hear this, or you'll get beaten."

"I see. I just think that Lord Fujiwara is so big, and Princess Latifah is so small. It's like Beauty and the Beast. It's a weird match."

"The princess rarely leaves Red Maple Castle, and I rarely see her either. Unfortunately, I wanted to go and ask her how she is, but Master Fujiwara stopped me."

"Is Maple Castle the big castle at the back of the amusement park? I always thought it was an unfinished amusement park feature, and I was wondering when the interior would be completed and open to the public."

"That's the princess's residence. Normally, Her Highness Latifah..."

Sitting in the corner behind the two people, Pancake, Macaroon and Tiramisu were also eating.
