Inspired by season 2, I have decided to write another Aggressive Retsuko story. I hope I did not make Director Ton seem like too much of an asshole.

Haida yawned and stretched back in his chair, rubbing his temples. It had been a particularly long and hard day at work, with the bosses working everyone to the bone. Even Anai, who was usually mild-mannered unless you pissed him off, looked tired and overworked. Tsunoda was also working way more than she usually did, and her happy, cute attitude had disappeared. Mountains of paperwork and energy drinks towered high over the desks, and there was a constant clicking as workers typed away on their computers.

Haida got up and headed to the tea room to get a drink and maybe a quick bite to eat.

"Oh, hey Retsuko," he said, seeing the red panda was in the room making a cup of tea for Mr Ton

"Hey Haida," Retsuko said, yawning as she rubbed her eyes. The red panda was also clearly overworked, more than she usually was. Mr Ton had been running her really hard today, dumping all kinds of work on her. Although Haida, Anai, and Fenneko had taken some of Retsuko's work, there was still way too much for her to do in a short amount of time.

"Are you ok? Do you need a pick me up?" Haida said, hoping he could somehow to boost her mood. Retsuko went over and gave her hyena a hug, and Haida wrapped his arms around her. But while affection from Haida usually gave her more energy and made her happier, this time it wasn't working. She still had a ton of work to do, and her ears were blistering from all the comments and yelling Mr Ton had been throwing her way.

"Thank you, Haida, but this just isn't doing it for me today." The red panda poured 's tea and place the cup on a plate. "I just have so much to do, Mr Ton is really piling it on. He's yelling insults at me more than usual today, it's honestly wearing me down. "

Retsuko sighed and headed out of the tea room.

The hyena wished he could do more to help Retsuko, he had already taken some of her work, but he couldn't take more. Haida knew that the red panda would feel like she was working him to death if he tried to ease her workload anymore.

The hyena returned to his desk, and Fenneko could tell something was wrong.

"Based on the fact that you've been staring at Retsuko more than usual, and the increased workload today, I can tell that you don't like how much Mr Ton has been working her today," Fenneko said in her monotone voice.

"Is it that obvious Fenneko!?" Haida said, growing embarrassed.

"You make your actions obvious, it's really not to difficult for me to deduce them."

The hyena shifted back to looking at Mr Ton and Retsuko once he heard what sounded like someone gagging.

"You call this tea!?" The pig said, spitting out the drink and slamming the cup down on his desk.

"This is the worst thing I've ever drunk! Water in a toilet probably tastes better than this! Where did you learn to make tea, Calendar?!"

Retsuko just looked downwards towards the floor, and Haida couldn't believe Mr Ton was throwing such insults at her. Neither could any of the other coworkers, they were used to their boss berating them, but not on a scale like this. The constant typing had stopped, and everyone's eyes were no longer focused on their work, but instead on Retsuko and Mr Ton.

"Your cooking skills are horrible, Calendar! How do you expect to feed your family? If you even get one! And it's not only in cooking where you don't have any skills, Calendar! It's also your accounting work!"

The pig pulled out a big binder filled with papers and sifted through it.

"Look at this work, Calendar! I've never seen such bad accounting! I bet your grandmother could do better work than this! How did you manage to get a job for this company?!"

Haida could feel rage welling up inside him, he couldn't take watching the pig continuing to insult and berate the red panda he loved. His hands clenched into fists, and he imagined punching Mr Ton in the face or hitting him with a Judo Chop. Fenneko could tell something was about to happen, and she pulled out her phone and started video recording.

The director kept insulting the red panda, and a few tears started to form in Retsuko's eyes, which Mr Ton picked up on.

"Awwww... are you gonna cry now, Calendar? If you want to act like a kid then you shouldn't be in this job anyway! You're not even good at it! You're not good at anything!"

That was the last straw, Haida couldn't contain himself any longer. He stood up, took a breath, and let his rage out.

"HER NAME IS RETSUKO! STOP CALLING HER CALENDAR! SHES A NICE AND HARDWORKING WOMAN! SHE WORKS HARDER THAN ANYONE IN THIS DEPARTMENT! INCLUDING YOUR FAT ASS! I'M SURE HER COOKING IS A LOT BETTER THAN YOURS! YOU CANT JUST INSULT HER WHEN SHES THE MOST AMAZING PERSON IN THIS DEPARTMENT!"

Once Haida's verbal outburst had stopped, the hyena started breathing heavily, while the entire accounting department stared at him. Retsuko couldn't believe what her hyena has just done, and she was sure no one else could either.

Mr Ton's face had gone from beet red to a pale shade of pink, and his eyes were wide open for once in his life.

The room was silent for a good 30 seconds before it was broken by Fenneko taking precautionary measures in case Mr Ton launched into another tirade.

"Anai! Incoming bombardment! Get to cover!" Fenneko said, shoving him under his desk.

After another period of silence, Mr Ton excused himself and quickly retreated out of the room as fast as he could.

"Well, that got him to stop," Haida said, happy he was able to help his red panda.

"Are you crazy?! Why did you do that Haida!?" Retsuko said, which was not the reaction he was expecting. "You could've gotten fired!"

Haida hoped she didn't go all rage mode on him.

"I couldn't bear to see him yelling at you like that, you don't deserve that Retsuko!"

The red panda took a deep breath and calmed herself, she didn't want to yell at Haida.

"Don't put your job in jeopardy just for me Haida." Retsuko said, "I don't want you to lose your job because of me."

"Some things are more important Retsuko, like you. I'd rather yell at a thousand times than see him yell at you like that ever again. Your so much more than what he says you are, your a hard worker and a responsible woman."

The red panda was is disbelief upon hearing just how much Haida cared this much for her. More tears filled her eyes, but this time they were tears of joy.

"Mr Ton just doesn't know the Retsuko I know, and the Retsuko I know is an amazing person.

The red panda wrapped her hyena in a hug, and this time, it felt really good.

"Thank you, for standing up to him," Retsuko said, enjoying the embrace, both of the pair unaware that the accounting department, and Fenneko's phone, was still watching them.

Later that night, after everyone had gone home, Mr Ton's phone lit up with an email notification. He was immediately horrified upon seeing that the email was from Anai.

"Director Ton,

Today at 5:02 PM, and thought the entire day, you made comments to Retsuko that can only be described as 'horrible' and that have no place in a professional work environment.

The attitude you displayed is not fitting of a director, who should be supporting the employees he or she is in charge of. Employees should be treated with respect and shouldn't have to endure relentless torment by a superior.

Furthermore, the nickname 'calendar' you give to Retsuko is also hurtful as it implies she is nothing more than an object to be thrown away when the time comes and not a living person with feelings.

Your comments not only hurt Retsuko but also hurt the rest of the accounting team, making them uncomfortable and afraid of their director. As mentioned earlier, members of the accounting department shouldn't be afraid to go to their superiors for help. However, this is the exact opposite of the environment you are cultivating in the accounting department.

Would you like a chance to defend yourself and apologize to Retsuko and other members of the accounting department for your horrendous comments?

I will await your answer in writing by tomorrow morning."

Mr Ton didn't come into work the next day, meaning the day was a lot easier for the accounting team than the tough day before.
