    In the bustling heart of Tokyo, a curious company named 'Honesty Corp' stood tall. The office was like any other, filled with the hum of keyboards and the aroma of coffee, but it had one distinctive feature: its peculiar CEO, Kobutori Jiisan.

    Kobutori was not your average CEO; his nose was not only large but magical. It could sniff out the truth, a handy talent in a world of corporate deception.

    Today, like any other day, he was going about his duties with his trusty assistant, Sakura, by his side.

    Suddenly, Kobutori's nose twitched. He turned to a nearby employee, Hiroshi, and asked, "Did you finish the report on time?"

    "Yes, sir," replied Hiroshi nervously, but Kobutori's nose twitched again. He knew Hiroshi was lying.

    "Hiroshi, my nose tells me you're fibbing. Try again," Kobutori said with a knowing smile.

    Hiroshi blushed and admitted, "Sorry, sir. I haven't finished yet." The office erupted in laughter.

    This was the daily routine at Honesty Corp, where deception was futile thanks to Kobutori's magical nose.

    However, one day, the company faced a serious problem. An anonymous whistleblower claimed that Honesty Corp was involved in illicit activities.

    The office was filled with whispers and worried glances. Sakura, too, looked worried. But Kobutori seemed calm.

    Kobutori called an emergency meeting. "We need to find the truth," he announced, his nose ready to sniff out any lies.

    One morning, a nervous intern named Ken walked into the office. Kobutori's nose twitched as soon as he saw him.

    "Ken, do you know anything about the allegations?" Kobutori asked. Ken nervously shook his head, but the nose twitched again.

    Ken confessed that he made a mistake in the financial reports, which caused the allegations. He was terrified and had been too afraid to admit it.
