Monthly Bushiroad Short Novels: Cardfight!! Vanguard

2014 Issue | July: Those who Support the World

On the highest block of "Genesis", where only few are allowed to enter for security reason, there is the "CEO room" of the current CEO, "Yggdrasil".

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, CEO. The maintenance and the refilling of mana have been completed."

"Angelica", the leader of "Regalia Administration Office", is not only a master of administrating Regalia, but also an expert of conducting maintenance Regalia. It is rare for the leader of the office to take care of one's Regalia by herself, except serving one who was talking to her.

"Thank you, Angelica. By the way, I'd be glad if you don't call me CEO in private talks."

The lady who received the renewed Regalia with a wry smile is exactly the representative of "Genesis" and the user of "Event Horizon (All Over the World)", Yggdrasil.

"Eh, ah. I don't mean to offend you, Lady Yggdrasil."

"It's fine, Angelica. Our CEO had better to be called 'CEO' so that she would know what she ought to do."

"Norn", the goddess who works as the secretary of CEO, stopped Angelica from apologizing. Her blunt words shook Yggdrasil a bit.

"I would feel embarrassed..."

"No, you should not. After all, it is natural to call our CEO a CEO."

Norn, with arms akimbo, asserted her statement that Yggdrasil could not refute. Angelica, at her first time to see the interaction of the two, was so surprised that her mouth opened without response.

(Mistress Yggdrasil, our ever-calm-down CEO...is in fact so emotional...)

"Sorry, Angelica, for showing such an unsightly look."

It is not hard to imagine how Angelica apologizes after returning sane.

"There, keep your pace! At that speed you cannot finish the work even with 3 days!"

After the maintenance of her Regalia, Yggdrasil walked with Norn in the company as regular visitation.

"What is this soil?! 'Do I need to do it again?' Of course! Move now!"

The first place they visited was the Agricultural Department, which uses the largest amount of land owned by the conglomerate. Each block of the farmlands is monitored by a goddess, who is accompanied by several subordinates.

"I told you so! How many times I have told you that doing this task doesn't require so many people---"

Every goddess of the Agricultural Department performs well, but "Freyja" is known to be an outstanding leader that her block has better performance than others.

"I think she is a little bit too mean."

"Not really. I think you, CEO, should learn something from her. "

Freyja is a hard-worker that even the term "earnest" is not enough to describe her. She shows no mercy when doing her work. Her orders are up to the level of "violent" and disturbs everyone at the beginning, but few would complain after seeing her performance in terms of quality and quantity of crops.

"CEO, Lady Norn. Welcome!"

Freyja, getting off from an oxcart, spoke in a cheerful tone that was totally different from her previous commands of rage.

"Freyja, do you always work like this?"

"Yes. I stay in the field for every minutes that everyone is doing the farm work."

"When do you write reports?"

"Eh? I write the report after everyone is off duty. If there is any leftover work, I would write the report after completing the leftover work."
