The First Morning

Eiji's eyes were so heavy, but he couldn't sleep. Aside from the never-ending construction noises, he was also constantly working on his tablet. He has specific criteria for his staff, so he has to scour thousands of candidates, even though there is already a filter feature.

The new principal was surprised. Why is he able to do this tedious work? He was bored but couldn't tear himself away from the tablet. He wanted this to be over and move on.

"Alright, then." Eiji put the tablet on the table and stretched. He had already selected the candidates but wanted to hear Sienna's opinion first.

The assistant was sleeping on the couch, still wearing her uniform. She accompanied Eiji until she fell asleep, so she forgot to change clothes.

As soon as he checked the woman, Eiji felt like he was having a small heart attack. The assistant's blanket had fallen down and exposed her beautiful legs. Because she was wearing an office dress that was relatively short, Eiji saw what he shouldn't.

It's white.

Slowly, Eiji rose from his seat to approach her. However, before he fixed the blanket, Sienna was already squirming and yawning.

"Good morning, Mr. Sakazaki." She then sat with her eyes almost closed.

Eiji could only gulp, seeing the assistant's position, which was far from ladylike.

Sienna looked down, widening her eyes to find her legs parted. With a red face, she immediately closed her thighs and fixed her skirt.

"Good morning, Sienna." Eiji greeted back while looking away. "I've made bread with jam for breakfast. Sorry, I don't know what your taste is like.

"I-I really like jam…." Sienna's words were cut off by a figure entering the room. "Kyaaaaa!!!"

She jumped up from the couch in fright and hugged Eiji. The new principal's mind immediately clouded as the soft and plump part of the woman pressed against his arm.

"It's okay." The young man kept his voice as normal as possible. As a virgin, he had never felt anything like this. "He's our new staff. His name is Jon."

Sienna glanced at the human skeleton sweeping the room. Yes, that figure is very similar to the skeleton mannequins in biology labs, only an arrangement of bones.

"What? Why does he look like that?" Sienna whispered.

"Before I answer that..." Eiji gulped again. Yes, he felt good about Sienna being in that position, but his gentlemanly spirit said enough. "Can you let me go first?"

Instead of doing so right away, Sienna froze. Gradually her face became redder. As soon as she came to her senses, she let go of the new principal and shifted slowly.

"I-I'm sorry, sir." She spoke in a low voice and eyes that glanced the other way.

That reaction spurred Eiji's heart even more. He had thought Sienna would jump up and become hysterical again. The young man didn't expect she would act cute like that instead.

"So..." Eiji cleared his throat. "In short, Jon really likes cleaning and doing other odd jobs. He was so happy with it that he never took a day off. That's why he is so favored by his master, who is a necromancer."

"Ah… So, he was resurrected by his master to become an undead after he died?" Sienna rubbed her eyes so she could see Jon better. "But why does he look like that? Your tablet says it, right? The staff candidates will appear in their best form or the form they wanted, as long as that form exists within their lifetime."

"That's it, Sienna. This is Jon's best form. As an undead, he didn't need to rest." Eiji continued. "And Jon wanted this form because he would be able to do what he loves over and over again."

And Jon doesn't need to eat or drink. So, it will save the school's budget, even if only a little. Very efficient indeed, but Eiji felt sad for Jon too.

"I didn't expect someone like him to exist. He is very dedicated to his job." Sienna approached the skeleton. "Hi, Mr. Jon. My name is Sienna Bellucci. Nice to meet you."

Jon turned his head to Sienna but said nothing.

"He couldn't talk because his vocal cords had rotted long ago." Eiji took his tablet from the table. "By the way, I have selected several candidates for staff."

"That's great." Sienna came up to Eiji and immediately frowned at the profiles of the individuals her boss had selected. "You only chose four?"

"I want to make this place run as efficiently as possible to save a lot of money for something. If needed, I will hire another." Eiji explained.

And as someone who hates dealing with many people, managing fewer will be more bearable for him.

"I see. That's what you think." The assistant nodded her head.

"So, what do you think?"

Sienna accepted the tablet and checked the candidates' profiles. "So, all of them are teachers…. As you said, it's very efficient…. And unique. Well, I have no complaints, sir. I'm sure they will become good staff."

"It took me forever to make the selection." Eiji took the tablet from Sienna's hand, feeling tired from the lack of sleep. "Time to summon one of them, then."

"Before that, I would like to propose one thing, sir." Sienna looked Eiji up and down. "I'm not saying your appearance is bad, but you better tidy yourself first. It will give a good first impression to our staff."

"Ah…." Eiji checked his shirt and pants, which were full of wrinkles. His hair must also be a mess because he woke up all night. "You're right."

"I wonder if the workers have finished my room." Sienna flashed a smile. "I've prepared some clothes for you, you know? You just have to choose what suits your taste."

"Clothes for me, huh…." Eiji remembered the assistant's words yesterday. She said she had been waiting for him for a long time. "You already know that the one who will come here is me?"

"Well, not specifically. I never know who's coming." Sienna widened her smile. "But remember, there is magic in this world. So, the clothes I have prepared will fit the body size of whoever the principal is."

"Ah, that's so convenience." There was a slight disappointment within Eiji because it wasn't him specifically that Sienna was waiting for. But he realized that was impossible.

The whole universe is too big. He was just lucky to get this job.
