I stopped my pursuit of the muscles.
Further pursuit would be even more dangerous.
Feeling defeated, I decide to return to the mansion, accompanied by Mil and Kiara.
They ask me in detail what happened… but it’s not that interesting.
There was no reason to fool them or…hide it, so I told them honestly, but their reaction was a little different.
Mil was just staring at me for some reason.
“Al says it’s all very simple… but isn’t it a serious thing?”
It’s just a rational way of dealing with the situation, nothing amazing or astonishing.
“The hard part will be the people who actually do the work. I was just trying to be careful not to drag down the people who actually do the work.”
Even Kiara gave me that look.
“Brother… I was fooled by that before. That trick won’t work anymore.”
I didn’t fool you…
“You’re really not listening. I never fooled you both.”
Mil next to me tapped my arm lightly.
“Whether I want to or not, I’ve learned a lot from substituting for Al. And I realized how hard it is…”
Kiara nodded.
“If you give the job to one person, you can’t go wrong. But brother are organizing so that many people are involved in various aspects of the work. If we made one mistake, it would be very difficult to correct the course. During the long rainy season, it was just…”
You don’t have to exert yourself so much, but… I must have been over-exerting myself.
I scratched my head.
For some reason, Mil started to panic.
“Kiara! You don’t have to be specific!”
Kiara shook her head.
“You have to make brother aware of this. Otherwise, he’ll feel comfortable leaving you in charge again.”
“I, I don’t want that to happen, but…”
What the hell happened…
I know it sounds like they had a hard time.
Did they screw up big time?
“I’ll listen about it when we get back to the room. Is there anything else?”
Mil laughed meaningfully, reassuringly.
“Al’s birthday celebration, I had to postpone it until you came back. The festival starts tomorrow.”
Huh? Knowing it is futile, I try to resist.
“No, we should have a festival on a certain date.”
“What are you talking about? It’s not exciting to do it without Al. Besides, it will be easier for the newcomers to get used to the new place if there is a festival. You also said that before.”
Y-Yes, that’s true, but…
“I don’t think you have to wait for me.”
Mil grabbed my arm forcefully.
“It’s our wedding anniversary too, you know! Of course we’re going to celebrate with festivities! You want me to celebrate our anniversary alone?”
It’s no use… I have no chances of winning.
“I understand…”
Kiara laughed at me.
“Brother, please make sure you treat Sister well. Specifically, don’t refuse Sister’s requests. And after that, please treat me well too.”
Oof.
“It’s natural to be sympathetic, but… it depends on the degree to what you’re asking.”
Kiara smiled smugly.
“Of course I understand.”
Really…
We finally arrived at the mansion.
Kiara tactfully went back to her room, so when I returned to my room, I was alone with Mil.
I sat down on the bed and Mil leaned over to me.
“Of course I’m glad to have Al back, but… I’m also relieved.”
“I’m not going to do anything rash or dangerous.”
“I know. I didn’t mean that, it’s just being Al’s substitute was very heavy…”
I guess I was putting more strain on her than I thought.
“Well, let’s listen while I give you a massage.”
“Then please!”
Mil slumped on the bed with heavy movements.
I massaged her and was surprised.
Her body was quite stiff.
“I didn’t know it was that heavy… your body is getting pretty stiff.”
“Oh, I knew it would show in my body. It’s not the workload, it’s the pressure. I can’t believe that Al handles it with such composure…”
Oh shoot, I forget to tell you the most important thing.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I forget to tell you something important.”
“Oh, a little lower… there, there. So, what’s important?”
“Don’t give it your all.”
“Al’s full effort is not the same as my full effort…”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“No, it isn’t. When you focus on one thing, you need all your energy. But that’s not what I do. I keep a reserve of power.”
“Are you okay with that?”
“Even I can’t anticipate every eventuality. That’s why I leave some extra energy to deal with the unexpected.”
“And what if you still can’t?”
“I just do the bare essentials and put everything else for later.”
Mil was going hmmmmm.
She was lost in thought.
“Is that okay?”
“It’s all right. You can’t do the impossible no matter how hard you try.”
“When I hear the word “extra energy,” it conjures up images of laziness.”
There was a time when such an idea was done before I was reincarnated… but I guess it’s still true here.
“No, there is a big difference between being lazy and saving your energy. Oh yeah, you know those worker ants, right?”
“Again with the out of the blue… I know of it, but only by name.”
“That’s fine. Eighty percent of worker ants work. Among them, 20% work as hard as they can, and 60% slack off from time to time. The remaining 20% slack off as much as they can. The ratio is 2-6-2.”
“Wow, but that’s so unfair. Besides, is it fine that they all don’t work?”
“When the 20% that work well stop moving, another ant starts working well. It’s a funny story, If you take out the 20% of ants that are slacking off at all costs, the ratio is 2-6-2.”
“How mysterious… when there’s a problem, will they give it their all or fall together?”
I am happy to see that she understood it quite quickly.
There is another problem.
I’m sure she will understand.
“In the short term, their efficiency goes up. But we all get tired at the same time and take a day off. In the long run, the ants will not be able to exist because of the workload. It’s the difference between a group that always gets a certain amount of food and a group that only gets it during certain periods of time.”
“That’s true, I don’t think that’s going to work. If they can’t eat when they’re resting, their tiredness wouldn’t disappear.”
“It’s the same with the distribution of work. Rest is part of the job, and you have to plan for the amount of rest you get. The ant society has a proper workload of 2-6-2. Our job is to give them instructions, and if there is a problem, we take a report and deal with it. Ants can adjust their workload. When they are exhausted from working as hard as they can, they can avoid having to deal with serious problems. Therefore, I can give instructions with a little more extra energy.”
When I massage a little stiffness, sometimes a sexy voice comes out of Mil.
Physically, I’m a young man, so I’m highly stimulated.
“How do you allocate the extra energy?”
“The amount of work to be directed during the planning stage is, to a certain extent, fixed. If there are too many problems, the plan is inadequate and will be reviewed. If you feel there is too much leeway, you increase the amount of instructions little by little and keep a close eye on it. But you should still leave about 30% extra energy. It was hard because you’re doing the best you can, and then some unexpected problems come up.”
Before my reincarnation, it was ostensibly becoming less standard.
Still, there remained a tendency for overworked employees to be held in high esteem.
That was not in my nature by any means.
I let my subordinates clean up the mess of sloppy planning.
When such subordinates grow up, they repeat the same thing.
It is not much different from an incompetent commander who makes his soldiers solve his mistakes.
It is a gag world where ITSEs, who are supposed to make operations more efficient, are doing the most inefficient work.
A doctor who is riddled with lifestyle-related diseases will not be persuasive when he recommends good health.
The people who commission work do not know how IT will make their work more efficient.
The specifications are also vague.
This is especially true in Japan, a mono-ethnic society where unspoken understandings are widely accepted…
They are not very good at manuals, which is IT’s strong point.
Oh no, my thoughts have wandered off again.
But I haven’t stopped massaging.
Mil sighed heavily.
“Yes, it’s like they’re already harassing me. If I make a bad face, they hesitate to report it to me, and when the situation gets worse, I find out. It’s a snowball effect. Now I understand why Al never changes his expression no matter what report he gets… In fact, the more uncomfortable the report is, the more you’re trying to be nice to the person.”
“I can’t handle something like that unless I can afford it. I leave the leeway as the power to make decisions. When you’re working at your best, it’s easy to make mistakes when you handle something unexpected like that.”
“That’s exactly what happened…”
“You’re in such a hurry to get things done as quickly as possible, after all. Mistakes are a chain of events that can expand. You have to make a calm decision to give up or extend the deadline. But there’s also some meaning that Mil has gone through so much trouble.”
Perhaps sleepy, Mil’s response is becoming slower and slower.
“Is that so? Then that’s good.”
“It’s a good way to assess the limits of one’s workload. That’s very important.”
No reply…I looked into her face and she was quietly sleeping.
I guess I’ll have to take a lot of care of this one.
I couldn’t help but scratch my head after I put Mil down properly
