God, don't retreat with this kind of gaze.

I interrupted you, but come to think of it, the only way I know what to do with someone who won't listen to me is to ignore them and let them walk away on their own.

I glared back at him as he hit me, but he backed away easily and it was a disappointment.

The instructors' intimidation is not twice as bad as mine, as they produce a mental and physical pressure.

Huh.

"What! What the hell is wrong with you?

Feeling cumbersome, the sigh came out in a conditioned reflex.

From the side, it comes out of its own accord and looks like a selfish disappointment.

That's not good for someone who isn't cool.

Don't do that.

Step in front of the guy who tried to activate the magic at hand and release a deco pin.

Make a sound that can't be made with a buzz and a decoupling pin, and pop the opponent's deco.

Aga!

"This is not a dungeon. You are not allowed to use magic.

"No, I can't hear you because I'm getting a deco pin that makes me rotate vertically," he said.

"Ah?

I thought I was going to take it lightly, but it seems that I took it easy.

That's about as much as I would have said, "You're going to kill me! I'm going to get up with a tweak: ......

"Well, we'll settle it for now and get another drink.

"No, no, no, no,

It only took one decapitation shot to bring things to a head.

Perhaps realizing that my blow was too severe, the other testers ran away, dragging the man with them like spider spiders.

That's quite an impressive spirit to not give up on your friends.

Even the onlookers, wondering if it's all over, are dispersing one by one.

The only ones left were the other party, Kaido, and

"Are you okay, Jiro-san?

"There's no need to get beaten up.

It was Suela, who would cool the area where she was hit with a hand towel, and Memoria, who would touch herself to see if anyone else was hurt.

I'm sorry you had to worry.

"Not at all.

"You don't seem to be hurt, but if you need anything else, don't hesitate to go to the doctor's office.

"Oh.

Leaving them to their own devices under the envious gaze of Kaido for a while, the two of them, content with nothing, stepped away for a moment, and then said, "Let's go back to the store.

"Let's go back to the store.

"Yes.

Let's do it.

"Huh? What's not? I'm not sure what's going on here, or why I got tangled up with you.

" "? Why (is?) Wouldn't you?

We were about to go back to the store, but Kaido stopped us, saying that it was too easy for things to end.

"After what just happened, you can't fail to see the reason.

"No, you're still too heartless! My buddy got into a fight!

"Sorry, Kaido, I'm off duty now.

"d*mn it! I hate myself for being convinced by those words!

But that was meaningless in front of the common understanding of Kaido and I, who have a spirit of not bringing trouble into our private lives due to our past history.

"I'll talk to you on the job, don't worry.

"Absolutely! I'll definitely listen! It's not pretend!

All right, all right.

I'll ask him later to add, and that's the end of it.

Kaido told me to make sure and then disappeared into the back facility.

Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for getting you into the mess we made.

No, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not uninvolved.

"Fights like this would be an everyday occurrence for a giant. There's no point in bothering either of you.

"Really? Then I'm glad I wasn't born a giant.

Yes, after all, a fight of that magnitude is going to look like a child's plaything.

"Oh scary

Taking advantage of Memoria's joke, you enter the store again.

The man who was thrown into the store has already been carried away or is nowhere to be seen, and the three other customers who were there are nowhere to be seen.

A clean and quiet store greets us.

The owner quietly asks us what we want, and we order sake and oden again, then take our seats.

There are a lot of people protesting too much difference among the testers these days.

That's where the conversation begins, and it naturally turns into the topic of a moment ago.

You'll be able to find out what you need to talk about as well as what you want to talk about, so I took a sip of the alcohol that was offered to me.

Weapons are too expensive, enemies are too strong. Weapons are too expensive, enemies are too strong. These are things that were mentioned in the report before.

I have customers in my store who ask me to get more for them. I also ask for a discount on the price of the portion.

It's probably the most common complaint you hear at work.

The boss is annoying, that guy can't do anything, the guy at the sales office has no idea what's going on here, and so on and so forth.

Both Suela and Memoria must have worked hard in an unfamiliar world and accumulated a lot of experience.

From what I've heard, the employees of this company are relatively friendly to humans.

This is how they accumulate stress.

So the only thing I can do is to do this

"Yeah, good job.

They are suffering in a way I don't know about, and all I can do is pat them on the head and hope that it will heal them a little.

"Huh.

"......

I guess I'm just happy to be able to feel the weight of my body.

That's how much he relies on me.

That's what a man's nature is all about.

I wish all our testers were like you.

Great, that would have given the store more help.

"Give me a break, I don't know if I'd be able to keep up with you guys if you did.

A leisurely time passes, interspersed with jokes.

Well, then, it's not so bad if you think of this hardship as an ordeal to meet you.

"...... is right. Suella is right.

"Oh, think so.

We need to do something about it.

If we don't do something about it, the rift between the tester and the company will deepen.

That would be a problem at work.

What should be resolved is the dissatisfaction on the part of the testers ...... that would solve it all.

I would like to ease their hardships in this way as much as possible, but when I compare what I can do with what I can't do as a chief, the former is less and the latter is more.

I'm wondering if there is something more I can do than just be there for you.

Jiro-san, your hand is still resting.

"Here is also

I'm sorry.

The hands on their heads seem to have stopped to think long and hard.

What were you thinking about?

"No, nothing.

"It's a lie, Jiro, your lies are easy to understand.

...... I just thought about what I could do for you guys and thought there wasn't much I could do.

I thought I would be so facetious, but now that I think about it, they're both older than me.

Maybe they saw through the difference in experience.

Suela and Memoria will gently weigh down the weight they are putting on me.

As if to show that I depend on you this much.

"You're doing the best you can. It's more than enough for us.

Yes. As for me, you give me blood sometimes.

"Do you even do that?

"It's a vampire's prerogative.

The hands of the clock tick by, while chatting over a drink every now and then.

Then I'm going to introduce Jiro to my parents!

"What is it?

It's just that the air is frozen in an instant.

Memoria sobered up instantly, saying she hadn't heard of such a thing, and she looked up at Suela, who smiled proudly at her, and then looked up at me.

"Really?

Oh, yeah. Next time you make a genie contract, okay?

I hadn't told you about this to Memoria.

I wasn't expecting it to be revealed in this way, and I tensed up a little, wondering what she would say next.

When Memoria squeezed my arm, I broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, but

"It's not fair, then you can meet with my parents afterwards.

"Oh, oh. Okay.

The typhoon went by more easily than I expected.

The most tense moment of my life has been prepared for me twice, but it only matters that I'm prepared.

I'll have to do it.

Do you want me to call him over?

I'll be there, give me a break.

"Yes, I'm waiting.

She says, "All right then," and satisfied, she slurps like a cat, rubbing her cheek on my arm.

We've shared a few drinks together, so I know that this is a sign that Memoria is at her limit.

Although she is a vampire, she is not a strong drinker.

Normally she's cool, but once the amount of alcohol crosses a certain line, she suddenly becomes more bold with more body touches.

And speaking of Suela...

Don't sulk.

I'm not sulking.

The amount of alcohol increases and the mental age becomes a bit juvenile.

He's in a bit of a bad mood, due to the fact that he had one of his arms blocked off and was looking out for Memoria.

"So,

"Oh.

The right hand that was stroking the memoria goes back to Suela on the left side of the room, and if you stroke her head again, you can see that her usual work ethic is gone.

You'll give me a smile like a girl.

Now, I don't want to encourage them to drink any more.

Maybe it's because I'm comparing drinks with the instructors, or maybe I'm not drinking enough, but that's not going to happen.

Just look at the shopkeeper and tell him the bill will be magically brought to you.

The price is cheap, even though you had a lot to drink and eat, and will make you want to come back again.

Pulling two Yukichi from your wallet, you take Higuchi-san and Noguchi-san from your wallet, tap them on the shoulder and leave.

Thanks for the food.

We hope to see you again.

It would be a boon for the underground facility that you won't be exposed to the cold of a December winter when you leave the store after being seen off by the owner.

You take them out into the hustle and bustle of the employees who have finished their work and come for a drink.

Your destination is Memoria's.

It doubles as a living space, so that's convenient.

It's also convenient to have equipment there for you to retrieve.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Yes.

Walk slowly, caring for the two people whose steps are firm.

Let's carry the trouble over to tomorrow for now and surrender to this time.
