Isekai Office Worker: The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

I Got a Manager

1
This is the third time Commander
Indolark has managed my lunch.
On top of that, he takes me out
to the courtyard after eating
and won't let me go until the
very end of my lunch break.
It's the same for dinner.
He picks me up after work to take me out
for a delicious meal and a leisurely time.
Have this, too.
It's a flavor you like.
Thank you very much
This man is supposedly
a distinguished personage,
so why is he being so attentive to me?
Nevertheless, at this rate, I won't be
able to finish all the work I've planned.
Which leaves me with only one choice
I've already got Helmut-san's permission.
I'll just take my work home!
Thank you for today.
What are you scheming?
Nothing in particular.
I simply don't waste my energy
on pointless struggles.

EPISODE 3: I GOT A MANAGER
Um, so
I'd like to repay you properly
for saving my life the other day.
You want to treat me
like a male prostitute?
No, that's not my intention
I don't need anything.
So he says, but I need to do
something about this soon
Tomorrow is your day off.
Spend it sleeping.
I can't.
What? Do you have something to do?
I want to learn more about this world,
so I'm going to the library.
What you need most isn't
knowledge, but rest.
I understand, but
Let me remind you that any kind of
nutritional tonic is absolutely forbidden.
You aren't planning to
rely on those, are you?
Of course not. I completely understand.
I almost died from that medicine,
so I won't take it again.
I see.
When he smiles like that,
it somewhat alleviates the aura
of exhaustion about him.
Oh, welcome in.
Good evening.
I know what I told him,
but I'm really feeling the fatigue.
Here.
These aren't as strong as the usual.
That tonic was probably just too strong.
I could use a slightly weaker one
I knew this would happen!
Commander Indolark?! Why are you here?
Come with me.
Um, I thought you went home
It was obvious you were planning
to come here just by looking at you.
Didn't I tell you not
to drink those tonics?
You did, which is why
I wanted an alternative
That's sophistry.
I'll order that store not to sell
you anything from now on.
What?! No way!
Isn't this an abuse of power?!
Shut up!
Do you even understand
your own constitution?!
I do, but I can't forget that
feeling of liberation
What's bothering you?
Huh?
A headache
Good grief.
How's that?
Oh, the pain has subsided.
But I thought magical energy
was poisonous to my body
That should be enough to take care of it.
I've had my share of romantic experiences.
Which is how I know our relationship
is strange, even for another world.
At first, I thought he was
just the kind of man
who couldn't abandon something
after picking it up.
But yesterday
The damage from the demon forest's miasma
is progressing slowly but steadily.
They won't be able to dispatch
the holy maiden for some time.
Is purification even something that
can be done in a single attempt?
I need to gather more information.
A budget request from
the third royal order
Again?
Denied.
Next.
I need to hurry.
I want to start gathering information,
but I'm not even halfway done with work
Assistant Manager Kondu of accounting!
The prime minister would like to see you.
Come with me.
Sorry for calling you here
in the middle of work.
Why won't the important people of this
kingdom make appointments in advance?!
Not a problem.
Now, I wanted to ask you
about the budget proposal
you created the other day.
All right.
Where did he go?
Well
the prime minister
called him to his office.
The prime minister
I see.
As I thought, the way your mind
works is very interesting.
While I cannot deny your lack of knowledge
concerning various aspects of budgeting,
that is to be expected.
By the way, I noticed that you haven't
asked about the holy maiden at all.
When you came to this world together,
you were worried enough
to give her advice.
Don't you want to hear how she's doing?
I knew it. He's informed
about our conversation.
Prime Minister, what would
you do if, against your will,
you were forced to go
to an unfamiliar land
where you met a child from your
hometown you'd never seen before?
If I had the means,
I might try to protect them.
I would do the same.
Provided I had the resources, of course.
But she's more valuable to the kingdom
than I am, and under extensive protection.
Perhaps I spoke too plainly.
Yes, you're right.
I like that rational
and cunning side of you.
Kondu, what was your first name?
Seiichirou.
Sei chiro?
The names of your world
are hard to pronounce.
May I call you Seichiro?
Yes.
Conversations with you
are truly meaningful.
I will call for you again
if anything comes up.
Telling me to prepare myself, is he?
No need for lunch at this point.
I drank some tea, so I should be fine.
Hey, if you're back
You're not fine at all!
Magicules are incorporated
into tea leaves upon production.
They also use magic.
From now on, don't drink
anything that I don't specify.
I can't even drink tea freely?
Got it?
Give me a break
What's that look for?
Oh, nothing.
How are you feeling?
Thanks to you, I got off work on time
again, so I'm doing quite well.
Seems you have enough energy for sarcasm.
Sarcasm? Not at all.
That said, I don't understand what's
considered commonplace in this kingdom.
I want to learn more,
but there isn't enough time
during my work hours.
Why are you trying to do
everything yourself?
You're in a managerial position,
so delegate tasks you don't
understand to your subordinates.
Shouldn't I understand everything going
on precisely because I'm a manager?
I leave all the order's
miscellaneous tasks
to my vice commander,
and we've had no problems.
I see
So that's why their budget has never
come up, despite how often we meet.
I understand now.
Wait.
What's this resignation?
What do you mean, you see?
Only that I've just been reminded of the
difference in our positions and values.
Our positions may differ, but what do
you mean by our difference in values?
I don't think the noble Commander Indolark
could understand the values of a
lowly commoner from another world.
Speak, then.
Why do you have such an
obsession with working?
Obsession?
It's an obsession.
Why do you try to do everything alone,
even if it means taking tonics
that threaten your life?
"Why"?
It's not about the money, right?
I work because there's work to be done.
No, there isn't!
I hear you always come up with work
that doesn't exist and readily take it on!
It must have been him
Yup!
Still, I can't overlook this thing about
me creating nonexistent work.
Say what you will, but this kingdom's
finances are in dire straits.
There's a need to fundamentally review
and improve the current system.
Financial difficulties?
This is the first I've heard of it.
Isn't that just because you're indifferent
to financial matters, Commander Indolark?
What did you say?
My apologies. I overstepped.
You listen here. Your work attitude has
a negative impact on those around you.
A negative impact?
If someone in a leadership position
jumps at every chance to work overtime,
it flusters their subordinates and
makes the work atmosphere unpleasant.
I'll do my best to change.
You've no intention to, do you?
Thank you for another
delicious meal tonight.
This restaurant has such a great
atmosphere, and the food is so good.
Why don't you bring someone you're
close with here instead of me?
This restaurant was started by a man
who used to be a chef at my estate.
It's also my secret hideout.
Is that so?
That's why I haven't told anyone from
the third royal order about this place.
Oh, I kind of understand how you feel.
It's such a nice place, after all.
Right?
Shouldn't I understand everything going
on precisely because I'm a manager?
What's wrong, Aresh?
Nothing. It's just that I don't
see Harvey and Matthew around.
Huh? What's this all of a sudden?
Well, they went to another
department on some business.
They'll probably be back
before we start training.
More importantly, aren't you
instructing the holy maiden today?
You're going to be late.
Isn't that just because you're indifferent
to financial matters, Commander Indolark?
Aresh-san?
Um, I've done what you told me to.
Did I do it correctly?
Yes, that's correct.
Yay!
If she can do this much, I think she
should be able to handle the demon forest.
Compared to that guy,
she's unaffected by magicules,
has magic energy, and is in good health.
She should be in no danger
with us guarding her.
No, perhaps I'm comparing her
to someone too weak
Um, Aresh-san?
We'll wrap up here today.
Don't neglect your training
before our next meeting.
Um, can't we eat lunch together today?
Sorry, but I'll be having
lunch in the dining hall.
Holy Maiden, please don't mind him.
Now, let's prepare for your meal.
Hey, today I'd like
Huh?
Why is she here?
It's the holy maiden.
Wow! It's buffet style!
Aresh-san!
Why don't we eat together
Huh?
Sei-san, I should really
It's nice to eat together occasionally.
I didn't know you were working
in the royal palace, Kondou-san.
And working when you don't have to?
You really are a corporate drone!
I know she didn't say it maliciously,
but this aura the man in
front of me is giving off
I study all day every day.
Aresh-san kindly gives me magical
energy manipulation lessons once a week.
Huh?
I see. That must have been a
request from the holy maiden.
He's a very good teacher!
You can't refuse orders from a superior.
I understand how you feel.
Why are you looking at me that way?
No reason.
You're probably thinking
something ridiculous again.
More importantly,
don't eat around the trimp.
Kondou-san, you took something
you didn't like from the buffet?
No
He has no resistance to magicules,
so I manage what he eats.
What?
Does that mean I also
It's not a problem for the holy maiden.
You possess both magical energy
and magicule antibodies, so you're fine.
Thank goodness.
But are you saying Kondou-san can't
enjoy any of this delicious food?
I've never cared much about food,
so it's not really a problem.
Liar.
Your reactions to the foods you like
and don't like are like night and day.
You must really like tsuhash meat.
It's easy to tell because your
eyes soften when you eat it.
Um, Your Holiness?
Yes? Oh, you can just call me Yua.
Yua-sama, is it true that there are roads
that move even if you
don't walk in your world?
Huh?
Well, Sei-san told me that, in your world,
you can cross the sea and
release some kind of power
from your feet to fly in the sky!
What?!
Oh, I just answered
his questions randomly.
Come on, Sei-san!
Th-Then does that mean
young girls don't really wear short skirts
above the knee that show their legs?
That's true.
How dare you fall for the holy
maiden?! Know your place!
Excuse me, but what are you talking about?
No man alive could see the
lovely holy maiden in such
an immodest state and remain unfazed!
Besides, didn't you only come to our
world because you were stalking her?!
What do you have to say for yourself?!
I have no romantic interest
in those younger than me.
That's true! Our ages
are way too far apart.
Indeed.
Come to think of it,
how old are you, Kondou-san?
I recently turned thirty
after coming to this world.
You're that much older than me?!
Wait! We missed your birthday?!
If we'd known, we would've celebrated!
Thank you.
If I remember correctly, Aresh-san,
you're 22 years old, right?
Yeah.
Twenty-two?!
I thought he was young, but I didn't
know he was eight years my junior
I'm eighteen!
You're two years older than me!
Sei-san, what kind of
present would you like?
The only thing I can think of that
you'd like is nutritional tonics.
That'd be perfect.
Hey!
I'm joking.
Are you tired, Kondou-san?
Oh, I know!
I just learned healing magic!
I'll heal you!
Huh?
Oh, magic would be bad
U-Um
I'm the one taking care of him.
Don't lay a hand on him.
Open your mouth.
Do you feel hot or sluggish?
No, I don't. Thank you very much.
Maybe it'll be easier
if I put a barrier on you.
Huh? If that's an option, why haven't you?
It uses a lot of magical energy.
Your body would have to take all of that.
Oh
So he'd have to familiarize me
with that magical energy afterward.
I see.
Huh? This is a lot fewer
documents than usual.
I've compiled a draft
for our next expedition.
Huh?!
Aresh voluntarily did paperwork?!
Orjef
What reason is there not to give
someone younger the time of day?
Huh?
A-Are you asking in a romantic sense?
Silence equals confirmation.
In other words
he's asking advice about love!
LOVE TALK
Good question.
People with a large age gap between
them often have different values,
so that could be one reason.
Values, huh?
He's never paid this much attention
to anything I've said before!
Is his sudden interest in doing
paperwork because of this someone?
Does that mean she works in
the royal palace?! Who is it?!
I really want to go find her right now!
Seichiro.
Oh.
I was planning to reach out to you soon,
so this is perfect timing.
What do you need?
The holy maiden's training
has entered the final stage,
so we plan to go and inspect
the demon forest soon.
Finally.
It's already been three months
since I was abducted here.
She should've been able to go
much sooner with a proper escort.
Well, the second royal order and
the first-born prince are against it,
so things will take a little longer yet.
Shiraishi-sa—Her Holiness can already
use her purification powers, can she not?
Yes, that's what I hear.
We'd like her to start as soon as she can,
so I'm counting on you, Seichiro.
I understand.
That means I need to figure the
costs of dealing with the miasma
and the expenses of the expedition.
Either way, the longer we delay,
the more money and time it will cost.
If we present our argument with data,
that may be effective in persuading
the second royal order,
who prioritizes protecting
the royal family.
There should be documents
on the previous expeditions
If I take a few more home
and focus on those,
I should have something ready
by tomorrow evening.
But first, I need to take care of this
