No, not yet. I was told that I would start towards the end of the winter season. It seems the owner of the business isn't in Verens at the moment.
[ Which is all well and good. The head librarian keeps asking him to stay longer and he doesn't have it in him to say no because she's been so nice to him. ]
[ Mayuzumi's getting irritated that Akashi's observing him in a way that reminds him way too much of his manager's scrutiny, but he doesn't say anything about it. Really, this guy's just lucky that it's his birthday...
He's also not on the clock, so there's no reason for him to stick to work etiquette either; he sits down across from Akashi while they wait for the tea. ]
Well, I'm sure you'll do fine.
[ He smirks. ]
...Although if you wanna practice being deferential to prepare yourself I suppose I wouldn't mind volunteering as a stand-in.
[ Even if he doesn't hold a serious grudge or anything, Akashi bowing and scraping really would be some quality entertainment that Mayuzumi wants to see with his own eyes. ]
I'm not talking about the actual work part. I already know you're a talented guy. I mean being able to project the right attitude for a rich guy's subordinate.
Well, it's just that being an assistant is kind of like a service job. Having to bend over backwards to cater to the whims of someone who's probably used to being surrounded by yes men.
I just was thinking that kind of thing probably doesn't really come naturally to you.
[ Look who's talking, the least congenial waiter in Verens. ]

What is there to practice? I'm capable of performing tasks of an associate without having to rehearse anything.
[ This is probably bullshit!!!! ]

You know, knowing your place and all that.
[ Yes, Mayuzumi is messing with him. ]
no subject
[ He can be plenty submissive and obedient! Just take a look at how he's with his father...
Wait, that's probably a bad example. ]

[ And he has no intention of being a yes man! ]
I plan on voicing my opinions if I believe it will benefit the business.
[ So no, it doesn't come naturally. Mayuzumi is right about that. ]
They know this, after interviewing me.
