- 会社: Refers to a business company, corporation, or firm. Often used as 会社に勤める or 会社経営. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'Company! "I want to work for Haruka-san's happiness-creating company for the rest of my life!" ...っ! T-To work for my happiness company! B-Baka! That's not a regular job, that's a lifetime doting contract! But... I gladly hire you as my permanent exclusive husband! Understood?! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『かいしゃ（会社）よ！『ハルカ部長の幸せ創造会社に、一生全力で勤めたいです！』って…っ！私の幸せのために勤めるなんてバカ！そんなの仕事じゃなくて溺愛でしょ！…でも、生涯の専属旦那様として雇用（入籍）してあげるから、毎日私を世界一甘やかす業務に専念しなさい！』
