After striking out with the Strategy Team and the Script Team, the Central System that had recruited me for the job finally lost its patience.
It said, "You seemed pretty sharp in the interview. Oh, well. Go to the World Gap-Filling Team."
As the name suggests, this team fills in the gaps when something goes wrong in a small world.
I set off with my low-level System.
[Mission 01: There's one missing water plant in this river. Host, please fill the gap.]
Me: No problem! I'll sway back and forth!
[Bonus objective: Save the young man in the water.]
Me: I'm a water plant. How am I supposed to save him? I can barely help him drown!
[Mission 07: The crepe stall vendor here has disappeared. Host, please fill the gap.]
Me: I'll sign up for a crash course in crepe-making tonight and learn 180 ways to make pancakes.
[Bonus objective: Stop the orange-haired man in the top hat beside you from destroying the sidewalk.]
Me: He's glowing red! What am I supposed to stop him with? A spatula, batter, strawberry cream, or chocolate sauce?
[Mission 98: Become a member of the Special Abilities Division...]
Me: So what if it makes my hair fall out? I'll take the exam, okay?
[...See those three impressive buildings? Join them!]
Me: Sure, I guess. I'll climb over the wall and train at the shooting range. I'll do my best for the Black Lizard.
[...Then find an old man with a mustache who carries book pages with him, and swear to follow him to the death...]
Me: Is this mission still going? Or is it the same one?
[...And become friends with the detective agency clerk's little kitty.]
Me: I'm done! Is this what they mean by being an office drone? Half the staff are employees and the other half are... what?
