That day, Ms. K was creating a pamphlet for a Japanese language teacher training school.

On a large Mac screen was a long block of text named “student comments.”
One student's essay was full of praise for the school, citing “Plato's Dialogues.” However, if you read it carefully, or if you had a certain level of reading ability, you would find it contained a lot of sarcasm.

The person in charge of this pamphlet at the school was very grateful for this essay. But Ms. K grasped its real meaning quite easily...

“He's a bad guy, hahaha” she muttered to herself with a smirk.

At that time, President A called out to her.
“I received this resume from a young guy, what do you think?”
Ms. K picked up my resume.
Then she slowly read it. Slightly confused, she looked twice at the name of the person on the resume and that on the “student comments” displayed on the screen.

"Ah, it's the same guy."


Ms. K replied to President A, “Let's have an interview with him.”
At that time, Ms. K apparently decided to hire me as an in-house translator.

“A turkey voting for Thanksgiving”

Around this time, Ms. K was looking for a “turkey” to replace her, with the intention of being headhunted by another company.
