Dennosuke Uchimura is an overlooked salaryman when a Demon Lord offers him a place among the four leaders of his army. The appointment brings executive treatment and dangerous responsibilities, without granting him special powers. His useful equipment is the experience he gained doing ordinary office work.

One early assignment is a merger negotiation with an ogre tribe whose chief refuses even to discuss terms. Uchimura has to understand what the other side needs before his impressive title can accomplish anything. The fantasy employer turns a familiar workplace problem into a mission with much less room for failure.

Uchimura holds out a business card with both hands.

The business card he offers here suits the skills he brings into that interview: presenting himself, listening and finding a way to work with unfamiliar people. Those habits must survive a change of world and employer. Being recruited as an army leader does not turn him into a fighter, so his old professional life remains part of how he approaches the new one.
