Chapter 8 - Episode 7: An Adventure

"Sir Adrian, does it not pique your interest about the interior of the company?"

David suddenly brought up this topic just as I was about to nap. With one eye peeled, I reconsidered the suggestion.

He's right. Since I'm going to be working here, I might as well explore. 

Alright! This'll be a piece of cake!

I shot up from bed and pointed at David with enthusiasm.

"You are a genius!" I scrambled from bed and hurriedly wore my jacket.

Such enthusiasm—I really picked the gifted.

David led me out and through the maze of corridors like a robot that memorized the entirety of this building.

"Dang, we've been walking for like, maybe 20 minutes? And there's only 5 rooms that I've seen."

"Quite the observant worker you are." He chuckled to himself.

It's not like this observing skill was worth anything, all those hours of grinding puzzle games just sharpened my perception by a bit.

"Shall we test your memory?"

"What's this? An activity?"

"Correct."

"Sure teach, hit me!"

"Please recite all the rooms we have passed by in order."

"Easy. ⟨Training Room⟩, ⟨Observation Room⟩, ⟨Scenario Prep Room⟩, ⟨Faculty of Research and Discovery⟩, lastly," 

I pointed at the door behind me. This room had zero plate, however, "⟨The higher Ups⟩."

The door behind suddenly opened. 

What emerged was a lady in a suit with a mask in the shape of a leopard dangling beside her. She looked like she was in her late 50s. 

"Splendid! As expected of David, you surely have a good eye for recruits!"

Re…cruits? No way—he… picked me?!
