Here's chapter 18. This chapter will focus mainly on Aggretsuko's characters, but characters from the last fandom that was yet to appear will appear.
Another day begins in Japan. After the situations that occurred over the weekend, the order had been given that schools and universities would be closed until further notice, so that students would teach from home to avoid putting them in danger should anything happen. . Many of the children and teenagers in the city were happy about the news, as they could spend more time doing their favorite things such as watching TV, playing video games, listening to music and many other things that young Japanese in school age liked to do.
Haida and Retsuko were already ready to go to work, they had already prepared for the work day. Haida was already wearing his uniform and Retsuko had already packed her uniform in her bag. Both had already eaten breakfast, and were currently preparing lunch that they would eat in the middle of the work day. Koka would stay with Retsuko's mother and grandmother, and they would see to it that he did the homeworks. Koka's friends: Hana, Izumi and Daisuke would also come to be looked after there and do the homeworks all together. So at the moment there was no concern about that.
The hyena and the red panda began to remember an event from the previous day. Specifically, the moment when Retsuko's mother and grandmother unexpectedly arrived at the meeting, they had a hard time keeping up appearances of everything that was happening. Fortunately since the book they were led to believe they were arguing in the fake book club they had already read in the past they were able to make a false discussion of it. As far as they saw both red pandas they were convinced. But they didn't leave until they and Koka had to leave with them. They just hoped their new friends weren't bothered by the time they were hiding in the other room.
At that moment the doorbell rang. By the time, it was most likely Ookami and Fenneko, who came to bring Hana to take care of her while they went to work. Retsuko's mother came out to greet them, while Retsuko's grandmother was with Koka. Once they finished preparing their lunch, Haida and Retsuko put away their briefcase and purse respectively.
Once they were out in the living room, they greeted the newcomers. They saw that despite what they experienced that weekend, they were in the same spirit as always. Maybe even wanting to have a bit of normalcy after what the last two days have passed.
"Well, it's time to go to work," Retsuko said.
"We won't be late, we promise," Haida said.
"Take care" Retsuko's grandmother said.
"If they take longer than necessary we will go look for them" said Retsuko's mother.
The red panda and the hyena did begin to feel a great deal of annoyance at that comment. But that didn't last as Koka walked over to both of them and started giving them a goodbye hug. T son always used to say goodbye to them that way, and that hug from him comforted them in that situation. Koka definitely had that gift of relieving stress in a certain way, although Retsuko still attended karaoke to sing Death Metal when she really needed it. Once they separated from the hug, they promised Koka to bring him one of his favorite desserts to eat, which excited the little red panda.
Ookami and Fenneko came up to Hana and gave her a hug, told her to behave well and that they would also bring her something after work, which made her excited.
After that, the hyena, the red panda, the red maned wolf, and the fennec left to go to work. They tried to talk about any topic at random and not mention anything from the last two days, as they did not know if they were being watched and had not noticed. The train trip was normal and for the first time it was not so crowded. Although they were not surprised, many companies closed because of what happened over the weekend. Why hadn't closed the company they worked for? That would be an unsolved mystery for the four of them.
Finally they arrived at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd. Entering the reception area they could not help but feel the sensation that they were being watched, and that was how everyone who was there was watching them with concern and compassion. At the moment no one who works with them or anyone they know was in sight. They assumed they had not arrived yet. So they quickly took the elevator and went up to the floor where the dressing rooms were located. Retsuko and Fenneko went inside to change their clothes while Haida and Ookami waited for them outside. They both noticed that apart from them there was no one changing. When they left they already had their uniforms on and were reunited with their respective husbands. Then they went to the accounting office.
Upon entering they realized what awaited them. All their co-workers, including those who work in other sections of the company, awaited their arrival there. Among them were Anai, Arihiko, Bibanuma, Buffalo, Kabae, Komiya, Masashiro, Warabida and Yokosawa from the accounting area. On the other hand, there were Manumaru, Resasuke and Rinta who worked in the sales area. And finally there were Adachi, Kara and Tsunoda who worked in the marketing area.
Almost all of them jumped on them to ask a large number of questions, or at least almost all of them, since Resasuke was the only one who remained in their respective place, but they listened to the questions of the others from afar. For Retsuko, Fenneko, Haida and Ookami it was like when reporters bombarded them with questions two days earlier when they were going to the police station so they would know they were okay. This made Retsuko angry and reverted to singing Death Metal in her own mind.
"STOP ASKING US QUESTIONS!"
"AND GO BACK TO YOUR WORK AND DO NOT GET INTO OUR LIVES!"
"CONTINUE WITH YOUR WORK AS YOU ALWAYS DO".
"AND LEAVE US ALONE."
Ton and Tsubone entered the office, observed the situation that was happening and then sat in their respective seats without saying a single word. Since the work day had not even started. So at the moment they couldn't get into that situation. There were only a few seconds left until the exact time, so the pig and the komodo dragon kept staring at the clock on the wall. When the clock finally struck the exact time Ton dropped his fist on his desk, the thump echoed throughout the office.
"All right, enough of you all" said Ton standing up to then point to Komiya, Kabae, Anai and the other accounting clerks. "Please return to your places right now and I don't want to hear any words from you. It is understood?".
The meerkat, hippo, japanese badger, and their other companions nodded in fear, and went to their seats quickly.
"And you guys go back to your respective departments before I send a report on your behavior to your respective bosses" Tsubone told Manumaru, Resasuke, Rinta, Tsunoda and the rest of the group that was left.
These were intimidated and returned to the areas of sales and marketing respectively.
"And from now on I warn you that there was a direct order from the CEO that no mention of what happened over the weekend in the city can be made, so it is forbidden to comment or have conversations regarding that" said Ton before take a seat again.
Retsuko, Fenneko, Haida and Ookami relaxed because the questions were finally over. It appears that Washimi was able to speak and convince the CEO to ban the subject from the company. So there would be no questions for both her and Gori, either. The four finally went to sit at their respective workstations. They began to do their chores as they would on any normal day. I just hoped no one would contact them during work hours for something important.
Not half an hour passed until suddenly to the surprise of everyone in the accounting area, the CEO of the company, whose real name was Shachou, appeared. They all wondered him out of his office. The only reason he would be out at that time is because he would come to say something very important.
"Good morning to all. I hope you had a good weekend and are having a good tomorrow today. The reason for my visit is because I want to give everyone the information that as of today, new interns will start working in the accounting area. So give them a warm welcome. "
He beckoned and seven new subjects appeared.
The first was a bluish-gray wolf with cream, the second was a brown deer, the third was a light yellow labrador retriever, the fourth was a white english sheepdog, the fifth was a brown coyote, the sixth was a dark brown with black hyena, and the seventh was a brown colored fennec. They all wore the men's work uniform: a long-sleeved white shirt, black pants and brown shoes. They all wore ties. The wolf's tie was red, the deer's tie was green, the labrador retriever's tie was blue, the english sheepdog's tie was green, the coyote's tie was blue, the hyena's was green, and the fennec fox's was red.
The deer that seemed to have a bit more leadership than the others stepped forward and bowed its head. The other six did it at the same time: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I hope we can get along as co-workers. And we can support each other. My name is Louis".
"My name is Legoshi" said the wolf.
"I am Jack" said the labrador retriever.
"My name is Collot," said the english sheepdog.
"My name is Durham," said the coyote.
"I am Miguno" said the hyena.
"And my name is Voss" said the fennec fox.
"Okay. I left them in their hands. Teach them everything to do in the office and get along in the work environment" said the CEO and then left and returned to his office.
Retsuko, Fenneko, Haida, and Ookami watched the new hires.
"Wow, we haven't had a new employee working with us since Anai started working with us years ago," Fenneko said.
"Hopefully and that time does not happen again with them" said Retsuko.
"I do not know. They seem like good guys to me" said Haida.
"So was Anai. They don't remember it. If it weren't for Kabae her relationship with us would not have improved" said Fenneko.
"Oh guys, if you're going to talk about me, at least don't do it like I'm not there," said Anai, who was sitting on Retsuko's right side.
The red panda, the fennec, and the hyena felt a bit embarrassed about that.
While that was happening Ookami noticed that his communicator started to blink, but since he was sitting a little further away from his wife and his friends he couldn't warn them. That struck him as strange. He thought that they had already found everyone who came to that city because of chaos control, but it seems that everyone had been wrong. He watched as the newcomers were guided to his work station. When it was time for lunch, he would come over to ask how they got there. But for some reason he had a hunch that the seven of them weren't the only ones left to find.
Well, this chapter ends here. You already know which characters from which fandom was yet to appear. Now they will only have to wait for a few more characters to appear that will be found by the characters of Zootopia and Sonic.
