Luna’s Escape.
“Luna. Can you turn your back a little?”
I tried to get her to turn around so I could take a closer look at the book she had hidden behind her back, but it didn’t work out that way.
“What do you mean? Are you going to attack me from behind?”
“No, I’m not going to do that.”
“I don’t think so. I refuse.”
She sounded nervous and cut me off. There was no doubt that she was on the defensive.
Now that I knew this, I decided not to beat around the bush and ask her straightforwardly.
“I’m sorry, but I’m going to be honest with you. I need to see the book you’re hiding behind your back.”
“…”
No response, which was unusual for Luna.
But she didn’t try to ignore it.
“When did you notice? I tried to hide it so that you couldn’t see it.”
“Just now. I caught a glimpse of it when you turned your body a little.”
“I see…”
Luna, with her sleepy eyes downcast, gave a resigned reply.
The hands that had been crossed behind her back were brought forward, along with the book in her hands.
I-I knew it. ……
It was not a mistake.
She was holding a book on business administration with a lot of notepads between them.
“Is this for the guy who just left earlier?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you. If I did, it would make me look miserable.”
“…”
That was already like affirming ‘I did it for him,’ but it would be more difficult to escape saying it under the circumstances.
Understanding what was being perceived… she didn’t seem to make a statement.
“Luna, can I see that book, for now?”
“It has difficult contents.”
“It’s all right, it’s alright. Keep the note as it is.”
“There’s nothing interesting in it…”
“I don’t think that’s true.”
Before handing it over to me, I asked her to lend me the book as is, restraining her from pulling out the notepaper.
What I really wanted to check was the notepad that served as a bookmark.
Once I opened that page, I understood what role the memo played.
#Skill 1 – The first skill of a successful manager is to have a clear vision and management philosophy.
This was what was written in the business management book.
And the beautiful words on the notepaper were her opinion.
‘If you have a vision or business philosophy in mind and you are not confident in it, you may need to seek advice. Find someone you can rely on and give them your opinion so you can move forward.’
#Skill 2 – An essential skill for successful managers. Foresight.
‘The second essential skill of a successful manager is foresight. This one can be very difficult to act on, even if you have an accurate analysis. In this case, it may be a good idea to get the opinions of the employees working on the front. If you keep worrying alone, you will lose your perspective.’
#Skill 3 – An essential skill for a successful manager. High level human resource skills.
‘The third essential skill of a successful manager is a high level of human resource skills. I’m sure you will have no problem with it. Frankly, I’d like you to share them with me.’
Luna’s calm thinking. And also, while including an opinion that could also relax his shoulders so as not to push him too hard.
“……”
I went through all of the skills required of a manager as described in the management book and all of her notes.
As a result, I finished reading the 12 sections and 12 notes.
And that was when I closed the book with a slam. Luna called out to me.
“…And you have the courage for it, don’t you.”
“Courage?”
“Yes. Not only did you give him advice, but you also told him what was harsh. I think you were saying the right things, but if something goes sour over this, you could be held accountable. Even with your knighthood, you can’t say that this is something to be taken lightly, can you?”
“What? Wait. Is he really that important?”
“What are you talking about? The count has a large swing of power, but his family is at the top of the heap. You don’t know that, do you?”
“…”
R-really? The top of the count’s family… So, can I be held responsible just for giving advice! No, if he’s at that level, you should at least remember his face and name, Beret-kun…
I could live in this world thanks to Beret’s memory, but the missing parts were too awful.
“W-well… If they hold me accountable, that is. And if they accuse me of being misleading, I’ll confront them.”
“You don’t regret giving advice after hearing these words, do you?”
“You don’t want to rely on someone who makes you regret asking for advice. Neither would they.”
“I’m sorry… that was a foolish question. You are right.”
“Hahaha, there’s nothing to apologize for, is there?”
I was frightened inside, but I shook it off with a laugh.
“I’ve noticed something personally, Beret St. Ford. I’ve noticed that you’re very mature. I think you think like an adult.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. You said during your consultation, including what you just said. ‘There are many people who take advantage of good intentions for personal gain. Not all people in this world are good people.’ Normally, I would not be able to say something like that.”
“Ah, hahaha…”
I could not say, “I reincarnated, so I can tell you that.”‘
I could only fake a bitter smile at Luna’s sleepy face and sharp opinions.
“I am also surprised that you, who are so enlightened, uttered the words, ‘I don’t want to be the kind of person who doubts the kindness of others.’”
“Wh-What…?”
If anyone was watching this scene, he or she would no doubt be frozen.
No, they might move to force her to bow down.
It was the Marquis’ son, Beret, who was the subject of many bad rumors, and the Baroness’s intelligent book-worm daughter, unleashing her bad words in front of him.
“I just think it’s really cool that you’re doing this. Because you’ve laid out your own rails and you’re on the right track.”
“…”
“Besides that, you were working seriously to solve the problem by giving your own opinion on the consultation that could be held accountable. A normal person would have just said, ‘That’s a good idea,’ just to put him in a good mood.”
“T-that’s not true, is it?”
“No, it’s a class society and that’s normal. So, it is great that you have also taken action. I respect you as a… human being.”
Luna did not avert her gaze and conveyed her true feelings.
Her expression was expressionless as usual, but at this moment, her cheeks seemed to have turned vermilion.
“T-thanks… And, but when you say ‘cool,’ I think Luna, you are one of them.”
“I don’t know what you mean. Unlike you, I haven’t done anything.”
“No, even you took action, Luna. I don’t know how it happened, but you are trying to help him.”
I gently tapped the economics book to show proof of her action.
“Actions without accompaniment are meaningless. It doesn’t mean that I helped him as you did. I can’t see it as equal.”
“I don’t know. I think there is always a point to an action, even if it doesn’t involve anything.”
“…?”
Luna tilted her head to the right.
“When he starts running a business and faces a difficult problem, Your research will definitely help him, Luna. Because what you have researched has the skills and information he will need when he starts running his business, Luna.”
“…A..”
“I was the right person at the right time. Actions that don’t come together will always make sense if you change your mind, and in the long run, what you did, Luna, will be more useful to him.”
“I guess so…”
At this point, her face, which had been looking at me the whole time, dropped.
“Definitely. He’s going to turn to you, when he needs your advice in the first place, and there’s no one else he can turn to but Luna, and there’s no one better qualified than you.”
“…”
“So when the time comes, I’ll be happy to help. I know I’m not supposed to say this to a girl, but …you are also cool, Miss Luna.”
When I said ‘Cool’, she smiled when I peeked from underneath.
“…Th-thank you very much.”
“Also.. Why are you keeping a distance?”
It was the moment she thanked me. Luna was retreating with her head down.
When I stopped her immediately, she randomly took a book from the bookshelf and began to cover the lower half of her face with it.
“A-are you okay?”
“I’m fine…”
“Really?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Then what’s the point of hiding your face with a book…?
What a difficult question to answer, and seeing Luna in the mood of not wanting to be exposed, I had no choice but to change the subject.
“Ahh, hey Luna. Do you want to go play with me this week or next week on your day off?”
“..W-why would I do that?”
“I haven’t thanked you for the sandwich yet. Of course, I don’t want to thank you only because you gave me a sandwich.”
“I understand your reason, but if that is the case, I don’t want to play with you. I know you won’t enjoy playing with me.”
“No, I enjoy just talking with you like this, so there’s no reason why I wouldn’t enjoy playing with you…”
“…A..”
“Ehh? What?”
Luna retreated another step, guarding her face with a book, perhaps because my face looked like a monster.
“Let me think about… for a day or two.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
“..Then… I’ll leave…”
“Oh, wait a minute. You forgot the business administration book! And also that… She’s so fast…”
She disappeared from sight faster than I could hold her back.
