[No greetings, no introductions... Fumi's just getting right down to business. It's not often she bothers broadcasting things over the network herself, after all. Leaning back in her office chair briefly, she folds her arms before addressing the feed.]

For those of you who were acquainted with her, Miyako Hotsuin is no longer in the city.

[Her voice is flat and her face its usual deadpan expression as she says this.]

As this leaves me as the only official member of the JP's branch office, I will be assuming control of the newly renamed JP's Hinoto-Ri Branch. It's been here long enough that continuing to call it the Nagoya branch seems a bit silly, and I'm relatively sure Miyako had been preparing for an official name change anyway.

[But wait, there's more.]

Additionally, following the departure of Kandori, Takeba, and Kirijo, and in view of the fact that I worked with each of them personally before the recent attack, I will also be taking over administration of the MAGI facility following the cleanup and reconstruction effort.

[No questions, no voting, she's just doing it, apparently.]

However, as there were three branches of the MAGI facility itself without even considering the resources required for the upkeep of the JP's location, I will be conducting interviews for the additional staff and personnel needed to keep things running smoothly. For my own part, I will be acting in Takeba's capacity as the new head of the MAGI Research Branch.

At minimum, I will also require colleagues to take over Kandori and Kirijo's work as the respective heads of the Weapon and Development Branches. Please contact me via secured network communication to apply for any of these positions or as support staff for either MAGI or JP's. You may contact me in the same fashion if you have any questions about what the positions will entail.

...That is all.

...

Let me guess, you're another workaholic?

Someone has to keep this place running.

Is that how it is for everyone who works there?

Considering the fact that I'm currently the only one who does, yes.

I meant in your world. You said that's the Nagoya branch, right? There's no way it was just staffed by you two.

Of course not. There was a rather extensive support staff in place.

An entire branch full of workaholics, then... Sounds like a scary place.

The Chief doesn't tolerate laziness or ineptitude in his subordinates.

Aaah, that's really scary. Don't any of you people know how to have fun?

The Chief doesn't have a terribly high opinion of the concept of 'fun.' Or I suppose, more accurately, he didn't understand the concept at all for most of his life.

...

Don't tell me he's the same as Miyako-chan.

Well, they are twins, after all.

No way...

One of them was bad enough, but two? Geeze, no wonder your workplace sounds so dull.

If work was supposed to be exciting or fun, it wouldn't be called work.

Says who? There's no way it could be fun all the time, but it should still be fulfilling at least, don't you think?

I don't disagree with you, but a job doesn't have to be fun in order to be fulfilling either.

But what's the harm if it's a little fun, too? That would make it more interesting!

I never said I don't have fun at my job.

Whoa-! So even though you're in their presence, you still manage to have fun?

[Miyako alone seemed pretty determined to sap the fun out of any situation possible.]

That's pretty impressive!

Well, that mostly comes from genuine enjoyment of my work.

So it's self-motivated. But still--

Even if it was the most entertaining job in the world, with a boss like that I'm not sure I could find it all that fun.

I like a challenge.

With another Miyako for a boss? That must be one of the hardest challenges in the world.

The secret with those two is if you're competent enough to be trusted, you're given free reign to do your job in whatever manner you please. And considering they don't tend to bother with people they have to babysit in the first place, the system works out rather well.

Ooh? So they don't even bother with training phases?
