ヴァーチャル出版社ですから資本金も発行済み株式数もゼロですが、社員は存在していると、少なくとも本人たちだけは信じているようです。ですので、それぞれの自己紹介を聞いてやってください。
As a virtual company, the Shono Publishing Company has no capital, nor has it issued stocks. Still, the members of the company seem to believe wholeheartedly in their actual being, as you will see in their self-introductions.

皆さ〜ん、これは業務命令です。
２月に入って以来、何度企画会議をやってもちっともいいアイデアが出てきません。こうなってはやむを得ません！全員この場で少なくとも一つは企画を提案しなさい。いいですか、これは業務命令ですよ。（これでボーナスほしがるなんて、まったくもう！）

Hi, everyone!
This is an operating command: Submit now by e-mail to this page at least one detailed plan for a publishing project.

Although we have had many planning meetings since the beginning of February, I have yet to hear one helpful proposal. Your inactivity has forced me to issue this order so abruptly. I urge you not to forget it. I find it incredible that there are complaints about missing a bonus even though no good publishing ideas have been submitted for some time.

会議でも言い続けているように、オーストラリア兵士の戦争日記の翻訳出版をぜひ実現すべきだ。編集者の出版許可もとってあるし、何より今のようにきな臭い時期、第二次大戦の経験を振り返ることは実に意義深い。旧日本兵の体験記は山のようにあるが、当時敵側にいた兵士たちがどんな体験をしたかは、日本側はもちろん当時の連合国側の人々にさえほとんど知られていないのだから、これは疑いなく絶対出版すべき企画である！

As I repeatedly suggested in the meetings, we should translate and publish the diaries of an Australian soldier in the Second World War. These have already been published in English, and I have succeeded in getting permission to
publish in Japanese.

This seems to me a good time to take a look at the war experience, not only of the Japanese people, but also of the people on the other side. There are many books on the experience of Japanese soldiers but books about the experience of Allied soldiers are hardly known by the Japanese people.

Publishing the war diaries of the Australian soldier is a worthy project for this firm.

反対！反対！反対！編集長の企画に絶対反対！そんなの売れっこないもの。
そもそも半世紀も昔の負け戦なんて、お金を出してそんな本を買う人なんかいるはずがないですよ。私なら絶対買わない。
私の企画としてはぁ、う〜ん、カウント伯爵っているでしょ、セサミストリートの。あの人を主人公にした絵本なんかどうかな。私、あのキャラクター好きなんだ。

加増さんて意外と子供っぽいんだな。確かにカウント伯爵も数字が好きだから加増さんの気に入るのはわかるけど、そんなの売れるわけないじゃん。
だからぁ、僕の企画はぁ、中学生の女の子の純愛物語です！スポ根の要素もあるし、何度も言うとおり絶対当たるって。泣けるもの。

Ms. Kazou is more childish than I thought. Certainly she loves to count everything just like the SESAME STREET character, but what a boring book. It could never be a best seller. It would not even be a good seller.

I would like to see us publish a pure love story of a junior high school girl. I find the thought of the pure love of a very young girl quite moving. To broaden its appeal, the story could also have elements of athletic competition.

えっと、あのですねえ、どんな企画を立てても結局当たらないっすよねえ。だったらどうっすか、いっそ企画なんかやめて、１冊丸々全部広告の本を出すってのは。だけど、そうなると俺、忙しくなるなあ。いいっすよ。目いっぱいがんばっちゃうから。ねえ、思い切ってこれイキましょうよ。
Excuse me! May I say something? I see no good publishing idea here. What do you think of publishing a book with only advertisements in it? That would be very unusual. I'm sure advertisers would leap at the chance to place ads that will last as long as the book does, unlike their ads in newspapers, magazines, and TV which have a very short life.

Selling these ads will keep me very busy, but I will do my best. And I hope I will get a bonus when the book is successful.
