Broha!
Watch Kaido flying in the air with a sympathetic gaze, watching the moment he is slammed to the ground .
''Gubo!''
You miss the voice forced out of your lungs because you've followed the same path.
Three minutes into the simulated training session, I'm lying on my back in a wide open position, unable to move, but I'm impressed that he didn't let go of the iron sword in both hands.
The reason why he was able to hold it for three minutes was probably because of his sacrifice, and because he was able to control the existence that stood there with a smile that would make anyone run away.
But you shouldn't have taken a direct hit, that one.
You can barely catch an afterimage that shows a direct hit to the torso.
You can also see that it was very tame.
Otherwise, the sponge or cloth would have been cut off to the human level without causing the sponge or cloth to blow off, and the R-rated horror would have spread out before our eyes.
The existence that Kaido confronted is of that dimension.
I've grown accustomed to standing out of the corner of my eye, but the demon yakuza still emits a fighting spirit that makes you feel like you're being crushed.
He's standing in a daunting position, arms crossed, happily waiting for Kaido to stand up.
The chambered sword is no longer a magic sword in his hand. It's already out of the category of a toy in my opinion.
Hey, Kaido, are you still alive?
"Heh.
"Huh?
He's not answering, he's just a corpse.
'No, don't die, I was a fatal blow in the first place, seriously, you're still better than me for seeing the River of the Third Way.
Really?
Yeah.
If I walked over to the prone Kaido and crouched down to check his condition, I'd probably have some bruises, but they're far from fatal.
You'd be fine for fighting.
You'll be fine for life... if your body hurts a little.
Bottom line.
Okay, go.
I'm pretty sure that's the wrong letter! I'm not listening to you! I can't believe I'm dealing with that guy!
'Fool, who said I'd listen to your wishes?
This is a scam. I'm calling a lawyer!
"You can call me when you've beaten the being in front of you, okay?
It's black here too!
'It's a different genre, maybe, but we have a beautiful woman over here. By the way, I hear the beauties here like strong men.
d*mn it!
You're a very greedy fellow, aren't you?
This one is relatively easy to move.
All he had to do was flick the bait in the hungry direction.
I was struck by how manly or honest he sounded when he made the decision to join.
"Kaka-kaka, here comes another live one.
Thank you for being here today, Instructor Fusio.
"There's nothing better than this kind of match. It will turn out to be to the advantage of our camp.
I wish that were true.
I'm no longer used to it, and I don't even care if a skull stands next to me, watching Kaido cut at Instructor Kio with a spirited attack
Today is a week since Kaido joined the company, and my recent day has been a hard schedule of teaching classroom lessons to Kaido in the morning, practical training with him in the afternoon, and then diving the dungeon alone at night.
You'll be able to find out what you need to do to get the most out of it.
''Oh, I was blown away again.
"Kaka-kaka, why don't you join us, Jiro and Nushi? And then I could join you.
'I have to go into the dungeon after this, so it's a little bad that I'm about to die.
"It's a shame.
I hear he's learning magic too, so you'll have to wait a bit longer.
"Yes, sir, and may I have some fun with it?
Instructor Kio happily blowing Kaido away and Fusio smiling his old man's smile next to him both love to fight.
I'm sure that's because I've smiled so hard after beating them.
I'm not sure if that's because they're demon king troops or because they're villains: ...... Whether it's because they're demon king troops or because they're villains, these people are very good at playing with the humanity of not letting them live and not killing them.
They've got to be able to make an attack that is injured but not fatal, that is painful but not fainting, that is visible but not duck.
Thanks to this, this kind of training can be conducted at the very edge of actual combat, as if Kaido was squeezing his physical strength right now.
It may seem necessary to those who are watching, but for those who are receiving the training, it's definitely something that makes me want to ask them to give it a break.
I also told Kaido to be very careful when he joined the company, but I can't imagine that he'd go this far.
Then I remember what happened when Kaido joined the company.
It was about half a month ago.
The day after we went out for a drink was the day Kaido was coming to visit the company.
It was easier than I expected, and although he was a little lazy with a hangover, Kaido arrived safely.
"You work at a movie studio?
"If I had all this technology, I could have a shot at an Oscar in Hollywood, but unfortunately, that's the way it is.
The company's employees, who are full of fantasy colors, greeted Kaido, who was able to safely enter the company because of his magical aptitude and was not affected by the wards.
You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
I thought it was just a dream, but is it for real?
"You're lucky we're not trying to hide from reality. I'll just show you what I can do with it. Follow me.
"Oops.
"Oh, Jiro-san, is that the person who is visiting you?
So it was good timing to meet Suela, who was probably checking for delivery.
Even though she'd called ahead, it was still a good idea to see her.
"Good evening, Ms. Suera. Yeah, it's good to see you, my former company junior--
"My name is Kaido Zhong! I've come to you because I would love to have your company!
"Hey, you're moving too fast.
And where did that sluggish attitude go?
Kaido straightened his back and stood erect, just as Suera-san appeared in her usual suit, and with a fresh smile on his face, Kaido declared that he would enter the room even though he hadn't even observed the event.
''Senpai, senpai! What's up with that beauty?
"Close enough for you to see, but not so close. She's the one who hired me, Suela Hendelberg. She was my trainer earlier in the day. And still does.
"Seriously? Can that man teach you?'
'Oh, maybe I will.'
I'm sure Suela would be happy to do it if we actually asked.
Depending on what she wants to do, that may happen too.
Well, that's highly unlikely, but the two of them will surely be the ones to guide you.
If I refused to join the company by throwing water on Kaido's dancing mood, it would be bad for my situation, so I won't say anything about it.
To stop it, I found myself talking to Kaido about sales, and to Suera.
"I look forward to working with you.
Yes, sir!
I could see the juniors being made to sign a one-way ticket that would change their outlook on life.
Most men would say yes if they were asked that.
I can't blame the lovesick junior, but I would at least tell her not to loosen her mouth.
It's a privilege to be truly beautiful.
Jiro-san, Kaido-san, if you'll excuse me.
Thanks for your help.
Good night!
Kaido's reaction, which was a complete change from when he arrived, was to see Suera-san off with a full of energy.
''Senpai! I'm going to follow you, senpai!
His eyes were shining just as his voice was saying, and he was in full gear.
"Anyway, let's just move on to the tour of the company, okay?
'Hey!'
It's going to be fun to watch the tension rise.
You will follow the same course I saw at the interview, wondering how far it will go.
If you meet an employee along the way, you'll say hello, and each time Kaido's smile will grow brighter.
From dark elves to demons, dragons, giants and vampires, our company is full of beautiful women.
I don't know if they're deliberately gathering these types of members, but are they such people? There's no doubt about it.
The only people who can complain about all the environmental beauties in the room would be a sentient man or a gynophobic man.
My junior, who is not one of them, didn't seem to care about the conversation, even if it was a social call.
''Senpai! I've decided. I'll work here!
By the time I had my last cup of coffee in the company cafeteria, I had the look of a man who had made up his mind.
I'm sure I can guess what made him decide to join the company.
As a man, he wasn't wrong, but as a member of society, I think he made the wrong decision.
Just to be sure, I quietly had him undergo a magical ideological check midway through the process, but he was fine, and Superintendent Evia had sent me an e-mail about the job.
The only thing left to do was his own will, but that confirmation didn't seem to be necessary either.
From there, things went swimmingly until the contract was signed.
''Senpai! I'm going to quit the company now!
He ran off into the sunset as fast as he could, and three days later .
''I look forward to working with you from today!
Where is your company?
I quit!
What about the handover?
''Senior, you should know when your boss has a weakness, don't you?
What have you done?
"If I have a grudge, I can do anything.
Another familiar face was born between us.
"Oh, I didn't know people could fly like that.
The younger one is now a physical man.
"The Lord was like that, wasn't he?
I think it was a little more expensive when I was there, don't you?
"ka ka ka ka ka, is that right?
You decide not to listen to Fusio's words that you were a little rusty at the time.
Instead, there's a crashing sound, and then a crashing sound of metal.
It's clumsy as background music, but it's the perfect sound for me and the instructor.
"You're so reckless, if you thought about it a little more and swung your sword, you'd have less gap and energy consumption.
"You don't have much experience to know, you see, people will often say, 'There's always a next time.'
I don't think there's going to be a next fight with you guys.
"I'm not nice enough to have a next one.
It means if it's implicitly hostile, it's a kill shot.
Yes, I know. It's so ingrained in me.
Then me and Kaido are the lucky ones. You'll get another chance.
In fact, in all these things, interaction with the higher-ups is an asset in everything, even if it's painful.
That's what being next is all about.
It's a blessing to be able to experience this kind of recklessness.
But still, it's strange .
Although the conversation with Instructor Fusio should be bleak while Kaido is brandishing a serious weapon in front of him, this place is definitely more comfortable than the previous workplace.
The tempo of the air seems to have lightened a bit since the guy from Kaido came in.
......
'Oh? Too much?
It seems that he was somewhat engrossed in a conversation with Instructor Fusio, when he noticed that the training grounds had gone quiet.
The sight of Instructor Kio poking the collapsed Kaido with his sword as if to see if he's still alive is surreal.
He's no joke and won't move, so you'll just have to run up to him.
He's a living example of how when you're past your limits, you can't do anything.
Awake, Kaido.
However, if you allow that to happen, you will run out of time, so when Instructor Kio leaves, you will spill the contents of the object in one hand on Kaido.
''Haha! I think I've seen something I'm not supposed to see! Also, ...... my body hurts all over!
Kaido passed out with an expression on his face as if he was about to enter a funny face contest, but when he woke up by pouring a bucket of water on him, he looked better than expected.
It was the same with me, but people seem to be built for a reason.
"Shut up and drink.
Guvo!
Even so, he let it out to the limit .
Taking a bottle out of the holder on his waist, he puts the potion in Kaido's mouth, which doesn't move except for his facial muscles, and lets him drink it.
He gulps it down painfully, but it's a fantasy product.
It will heal Kaido's body as it gradually seeps into his body.
''Phaha! Potions work well, I wish I had them at my old company.
I don't want to be stuck in a death march drinking potions and working late.
A few seconds after drinking the potion, the pain has receded from his body and he used his abdominal muscles to raise his upper body up from a wide angle.
The light from the computer screen, the pile of project documents, the light from the computer screen, the mouth of a mentally slender face with no dark circles under the eyes, the combination of potions is too disgusting to imagine.
We're just getting to the end of the hour. Next is Fusio's training.
"...... Is magic the next step after physics?
The clock showed that it was almost time to turn back the afternoon's training.
As soon as Kaido learned that a magical nightmare was waiting for him from a physical nightmare, his face, which had been refreshed by the potion, turned darker.
'You had it coming. It's because you wanted the troublesome position of magic swordsman. Compound professions are hard enough. This is something you should have done if you want to get it from the start. And you should be grateful that they gave you two iron swords, leather gear, and a magical medium to negotiate with, albeit a lowly one.
A magical medium is simply a microphone.
It's a medium that allows you to speak, but through a microphone and into a speaker, your voice gets louder and farther.
Similarly, you can use magic without a magic medium, but you can increase its power and efficiency by passing it through a medium.
Since the lowest level is also the lowest level, the one given to Kaido is more of a teaching tool to grasp the feeling of using magic, but it's still useful.
It's a good thing that they are useful, because it takes a lot of effort to make a magic medium, so even the lowest level is expensive.
The price goes up even more when it comes to multiple jobs.
So in order for Kaido to live up to your expectations, you'll need to be trained properly.
I just thought it looked really cool.
You can change your mind now, but do you want to focus on one or the other?
'No, if I give up here, I'll never be popular!
Okay.
But when I heard that he chose this profession because it was so cool, I almost dropped my cigarette.
Even today's elementary school kids would have a more sensible reason for choosing this profession, but I think it's one of his specialties.
In a corner of your mind, you say no treatment, but since time is pressing, you don't mind and get up.
"Ah, yes, senpai.
What?
We're going to add more members, aren't we?
Yeah, you and I are not going to be able to do this alone, you know. We'll be adding more if we can.
I was called upon to keep it from happening, so I got in on the conversation as if I were going to accompany Kaido on his break.
''Well, then, then! Let's get more girls!
Oh?
'I knew there were no flowers if it was just men! And if you have a pretty girl to motivate you, I'm sure your motivation will be different!
You ......
I knew I had a lot of energy, but I had a headache instead.
I took a drag to cover it up.
Little did I regret scouting this guy.
Well, he's still not a bad guy, so I'll just forget about it.
"Hmm, you've made your point. I'll think it over and our break is over. I think we're ready, Officer Fusio. Sir.
In the meantime, it's best to keep the word "woman" out of this guy's head for now.
"Kaka, okay.
Whoa!
Fusio stood behind Kaido with a slippery hand on his shoulder, as if he were a monster in a horror movie.
"Then Jiro. How far do you want me to go?
With all my might.
"Kaka-kaka, I'm in charge.
How can you be so deadly?
Kaido, come on.
What are you saying, the bastard himself?
"Well, we're running out of time. Let's get to work. In the meantime, you get to experience all the attributes today.
'Too Spartan! Senior help--
Well, I guess I better get ready for the dungeon. I'm late getting home, so I'll be up early today.
Are you ignoring me?
"How nice of you to have the time to look after things. Can I get a little more serious?
Yikes!
The sound of an explosion could be heard immediately, but it would probably be fine .
For all the loud noise, I could see the shadow of Kaido, who was running as fast as he could through the billowing smoke, so I wouldn't have to worry about him being re-injured by a single blow.
Even so, I was a little worried, so I watched for a moment as Instructor Fusio unleashed his diabolical magic with his toy staff .
''Hoore-hooree! This is the Flame Spirits!
Fire! The fire is chasing us!
"Kaka-kaka-kaka, now the water? Lightning? Wind? A curse? Gravity? There's more to come!'
Instructor Fusio seems pretty excited.
Still, he doesn't seem to have forgotten about his training, so I guess it'll be okay.
Anyway, just as insurance.
Instructor Kio, here's a recovery potion. Take care of the rest.
'Oh! Leave it to me, I'll make you a fine swordsman!
Just don't leave me traumatized, okay?
"Rest assured, we will create a man who can overcome his trauma!
Instructor Kio gives me a big smile and thumbs up, instead of worrying about me.
You're sure you're going to have a traumatic experience.
But I couldn't say that even if I wanted to.
I see. We'll look forward to tomorrow. Then I'll go to the dungeon.
You can challenge me next time!
I'll give it a shot.
I gave you the healing potion, so I'm sure Kaido will be able to get through training with Fusio, who's equipped with a real hunting stick.
I leave instructor Kio in charge, bow and leave the training room.
"Heeeeeeeeee!
I decided to take Kaido's scream just as the door was about to close as proof that he was still alive and think about the problem at hand.
'New member hey, now what do we do?
Kaido has come in, so we have more members, but with me as the vanguard and him as the vanguard and middle guard, there's a bit of an imbalance.
In the end, we'll definitely need to add one or two more people.
"Woman, I'm feeling depressed.
At any rate, considering Kaido's desperate training, I'd like to give him what he wants.
But considering the reality of the scouts, it's doubtful that they can even pick a gender, let alone an appearance.
Well, we'll take it easy. Let's switch our minds, refill our inventory, and take on the dungeon.
It's a complete game term, but it's work to do.
I'll just focus on that instead of thinking about anything else.
I can remember the dancing girl I met in the park before, but she had her spyglass off at that time, so I don't know if she has magic aptitude or not, and I don't think I'll ever see her again.
Let's cut off the things that came to mind and get back to work.
Another side
Recently I have been wondering what life is all about.
I went to elementary school, middle school, high school and now I'm a university student.
I wonder how long it was before I could enjoy socializing with people as the environment changed.
Elementary school? Middle school? At least in high school, I feel like I was cool with it .
When did I start to find socializing a pain in the ass, and that was in high school? It feels like it was a long time ago that I felt it was faintly obvious .
It didn't take too long before I kept my socializing to a minimum and spent most of my time in my room.
What I was doing with my computer screen with no lights on was playing an MMORPG, or in popular parlance, an internet game.
I'm sure my classmates in the same lecture will tell me what a college girl is doing.
Then again, you'll be able to distance yourself from people with a fond smile.
That's also an inexplicable feeling of disgust.
Is it really necessary to have a relationship that ends with one word of bother?
I think it is easier and more fun to have an online relationship without seeing each other.
How wonderful it is that the world is made up of one click and one keyboard.
It's a rare item, and you'll be able to say "Oh, hey! How many times do I have to tell you that we're going to have food? Come out of your room for goodness sake! Kuhw, drftgy fuji lp!
The moment you tried to immerse yourself in this world more, a door was thrown open?
No, in my experience, "kicked down" is a better description of his behavior.
Surprised by the action, I quickly straightened up, but apparently it was the wrong thing to do.
I was caught by surprise, and I recoiled and fell right back.
I hit my lower back.
"d*mn it, I always tell you to play the game, but come down when it's time to eat.
Well, you shouldn't have freaked me out, that I did. And you made me fall off my chair, that I did.
"Shut up, you're on time.
''Ugh, she used to be so cute, where did we go wrong in raising her, that I don't know.
At least I remember taking care of you, but I don't remember being raised.
The light is turned on and you see the person who brightened the room.
You pick up the fallen chair and look towards the entrance and you see a little boy standing there with a tray in his hand, and again, for the sake of importance, a little boy.
Hey, didn't you just think that was rude?
I don't like it, that I don't think about it, that I do.
When you cover up like that, it's usually when you're thinking about my height, right? I guess we're not going to have any dinner?
'Not that much! Please don't let us just get away with starvation!
'Yeah! Don't get attached to me! What if the miso soup spills and burns you? All right, get out of here! I'll just lay out the food.
Mom!
'Who's your mother? I'm younger than you!
My name is Shiretoko Minami, and my tackling speed rivals that of a rugby player, but I'm still a self-proclaimed weak maiden.
Even my childhood friend and childhood friend, Masaru Tokorozawa, a boy half a head smaller than I am, can only catch it with enough force to hold his dinner in one hand.
After that, I hugged him so as not to miss my dinner, but Katsu is the kind of person who tells you to eat well even if you are fighting with him.
I can tell that what you just said was a bluff too.
The bottom line is that this series of actions is also a regular exchange.
As proof, when I left, instead of the desk with the computer, he placed dinner on a tray with tea on a small table near the entrance.
"Jesus, how long are you going to stand there? Your dinner is getting cold.
Oh~ It's Japanese food today, that it is... it's the first meal in a day, that it is.
You didn't have breakfast or lunch for a day?
Since it was my day off today, I ran off to play a game of tweezers in reaction to finishing the report, that I did. I regret that, but I don't regret it!
'Don't be brave! Oh, and make a mess of the room again, and make sure your textbooks are put away, and you've accumulated so much laundry.
You understand, don't you, Katsura?
That's what happens when the South doesn't do any housework at all!
I'll take it anyway, and while I'm eating my dinner, I'm going to take a seca seca, or is it chocolate chocolate? For now, I sipped my chopsticks as I watched Katsu move around busily.
Really, Masaru is going to be a good wife, that he is.
'Whose fault do you think it is that I'm so good at housework in general! And for the umpteenth time, I'm the man!
"Don't worry, that there is a man's daughter in the world, that it is. Masaru also looks a bit masculine, that he does, but he has a relatively neutral face, that he can be fooled as much as possible with makeup and clothing.
It's not my pleasure!
And I would like to say, that you will not win with my wife!
Who's your wife?
A win, that is. I'm sure anyone would agree with that, looking at what's going on right now, that I'm sure.
I think my words pierced him, he shook his shoulder and thought for a moment, and then he put his hand against the wall and covered his face with his hand, and wore a dark expression.
I can see a shadow above my head, that I can see.
...... I don't see any element of denial in this situation.
We have all the evidence we need, that we do.
Cooking dinner, cleaning, washing clothes, shopping, and probably some special fliers on the living room table downstairs.
They were neatly marked in red pen.
She used to blush at the sight of my underwear, but she has grown up, that she has. That hasn't happened recently.
I don't know how many years we've been together. It's too late for that.
I'd like to complain to my childhood friend who treats a woman's underwear like that, but I'll get back at you later because I'm busy sipping miso soup.
Well, I'm an open-minded person, so I'll pretend I didn't see the redness around my ears.
While I'm eating my meal, my room is being tidied up, the bookshelves are cleaned, the bed is made up, and any trash that didn't fit in the waste basket is put in the trash bag.
They are very skillful in making sure that dust does not get into the food.
It takes about 30 minutes and by the time I finished eating, Katsu was sipping tea in front of me.
"Common sense dictates that you shouldn't clean up while you're eating.
After you've done it, I hear it's a win-win, that it is.
I'm telling you to clean up after yourself in a roundabout way.
Even so, you love me for cleaning up, that I do.
I know I'm frying myself, and I'm consciously choosing my words in an effort to duck.
A little bit of blackness rears its ugly head inside.
But this childhood friend of mine...
...... So, how's the college?
He has a firm understanding of the territory I don't like.
You are one of the few people I don't bother with because you back off faster than I can tell you not to come in any further.
"It's just the same as always, that I'm going to go to class, get the credits I need to graduate, socialize in moderation, and then stay home. That's it, that's all.
And the slumped sicklehead slips off into the back of the room.
"So, as always, I'd like to ask you why I'm in there waking you up in the morning and making your breakfast and your lunch.
You forgot your dinner, that I did.
'Yeah, you forgot to clean and do the laundry too, what are you going to do when I'm gone?'
Starving to death, that it is.
'You're too innocent! Work!
But I refuse! I don't want to work, that I don't! I don't want to work unless it's a job that I find appealing, that I don't want to work for!
Don't lick society!
That's not something a high schooler would say, that it is.
Not even the words of a soon-to-be college student.
It reminded me of what my parents used to say to me when I was a kid.
What's the fun in living like this?" and that I should live my life so that I could show proper respect to the world.
Those nagging words were like a curse song that began to play over and over in your head as soon as you remembered them.
The warmth you felt a moment ago suddenly turned cold and uncomfortable.
You try to bob your head to get rid of it, but it doesn't seem to go away.
Your throat is choking as the cold chains bind you in place.
A heavy pressure.
Lately I've been feeling that there's no way around it.
Is it necessary to live with these things?
If you have to, I'd rather not say, "What kind of job do you think the South would want to do?
?
But a voice that seems to be watching us intently pushes the depression out of me.
...... That's right.
I deliberately change my tone to a slower one, as if forgetting what I was trying to think about .
It's not as if you didn't see the strange behavior earlier, but Katsu, who is looking at you with a sideways glance as if to the contrary, has put down his teacup and is ready to talk.
''It sounds like a fun fantasy world, that it is.
Is fantasy like a game?
I would like to work with magic and non-human elves and beastmen with beast ears, fighting dangerous creatures, that I would like to do.
'Don't bring a two-dimensional job to me, that's not real life.
I know that.
It's just that when I was told that I wanted to do this job, that's what I thought of.
I couldn't imagine myself working as an office worker, or becoming a nurse, or becoming a nurse, or any of the other realistic jobs that people think of becoming.
I was just saying, that I was.
That's it .
'What, I thought you were going to come out as a game creator or something because you love games.
I want to be on the consumer's side of the game, that I am, and it will be a pain in the ass to make it.
Why, aren't they good at drawing and stuff?
"It's a hobby, that it is - I don't want to work, that it is.
'What's that, you're going to end up settling in there?
That's all there is to it.
So, I am just coasting along with the few people who are not in pain.
If I can't see the meaning of such things, how am I going to live?
I can imagine the future where a recluse NEET will be born, not driven by a sense of righteousness like in the game, not driven by some impulse.
That may be why I hope that this daily life of casual conversation will continue forever.
I hope it doesn't change.
Is it selfish to wish so?
I would like a dessert, that I would like to have.
I'll tell you what. Why don't you go take a bath. I'll do the dishes and take you out.
In regards to my childhood friend...
Who gives a shit?
So I'm going to pretend I didn't see it.
I'm going to pretend I didn't see my childhood friend taking home the flyer from the job inspection, which he had planned to show me when he took down the dishes.
"Katsu~Where are the bath towels, that you are?
I'm putting it out, so get your ass in here.
You can come with me if you want...

Broha!
Watch Kaido flying in the air with a sympathetic gaze, watching the moment he is slammed to the ground .
''Gubo!''
You miss the voice forced out of your lungs because you've followed the same path.
Three minutes into the simulated training session, I'm lying on my back in a wide open position, unable to move, but I'm impressed that he didn't let go of the iron sword in both hands.
The reason why he was able to hold it for three minutes was probably because of his sacrifice, and because he was able to control the existence that stood there with a smile that would make anyone run away.
But you shouldn't have taken a direct hit, that one.
You can barely catch an afterimage that shows a direct hit to the torso.
You can also see that it was very tame.
Otherwise, the sponge or cloth would have been cut off to the human level without causing the sponge or cloth to blow off, and the R-rated horror would have spread out before our eyes.
The existence that Kaido confronted is of that dimension.
I've grown accustomed to standing out of the corner of my eye, but the demon yakuza still emits a fighting spirit that makes you feel like you're being crushed.
He's standing in a daunting position, arms crossed, happily waiting for Kaido to stand up.
The chambered sword is no longer a magic sword in his hand. It's already out of the category of a toy in my opinion.
Hey, Kaido, are you still alive?
"Heh.
"Huh?
He's not answering, he's just a corpse.
'No, don't die, I was a fatal blow in the first place, seriously, you're still better than me for seeing the River of the Third Way.
Really?
Yeah.
If I walked over to the prone Kaido and crouched down to check his condition, I'd probably have some bruises, but they're far from fatal.
You'd be fine for fighting.
You'll be fine for life... if your body hurts a little.
Bottom line.
Okay, go.
I'm pretty sure that's the wrong letter! I'm not listening to you! I can't believe I'm dealing with that guy!
'Fool, who said I'd listen to your wishes?
This is a scam. I'm calling a lawyer!
"You can call me when you've beaten the being in front of you, okay?
It's black here too!
'It's a different genre, maybe, but we have a beautiful woman over here. By the way, I hear the beauties here like strong men.
d*mn it!
You're a very greedy fellow, aren't you?
This one is relatively easy to move.
All he had to do was flick the bait in the hungry direction.
I was struck by how manly or honest he sounded when he made the decision to join.
"Kaka-kaka, here comes another live one.
Thank you for being here today, Instructor Fusio.
"There's nothing better than this kind of match. It will turn out to be to the advantage of our camp.
I wish that were true.
I'm no longer used to it, and I don't even care if a skull stands next to me, watching Kaido cut at Instructor Kio with a spirited attack
Today is a week since Kaido joined the company, and my recent day has been a hard schedule of teaching classroom lessons to Kaido in the morning, practical training with him in the afternoon, and then diving the dungeon alone at night.
You'll be able to find out what you need to do to get the most out of it.
''Oh, I was blown away again.
"Kaka-kaka, why don't you join us, Jiro and Nushi? And then I could join you.
'I have to go into the dungeon after this, so it's a little bad that I'm about to die.
"It's a shame.
I hear he's learning magic too, so you'll have to wait a bit longer.
"Yes, sir, and may I have some fun with it?
Instructor Kio happily blowing Kaido away and Fusio smiling his old man's smile next to him both love to fight.
I'm sure that's because I've smiled so hard after beating them.
I'm not sure if that's because they're demon king troops or because they're villains: ...... Whether it's because they're demon king troops or because they're villains, these people are very good at playing with the humanity of not letting them live and not killing them.
They've got to be able to make an attack that is injured but not fatal, that is painful but not fainting, that is visible but not duck.
Thanks to this, this kind of training can be conducted at the very edge of actual combat, as if Kaido was squeezing his physical strength right now.
It may seem necessary to those who are watching, but for those who are receiving the training, it's definitely something that makes me want to ask them to give it a break.
I also told Kaido to be very careful when he joined the company, but I can't imagine that he'd go this far.
Then I remember what happened when Kaido joined the company.
It was about half a month ago.
The day after we went out for a drink was the day Kaido was coming to visit the company.
It was easier than I expected, and although he was a little lazy with a hangover, Kaido arrived safely.
"You work at a movie studio?
"If I had all this technology, I could have a shot at an Oscar in Hollywood, but unfortunately, that's the way it is.
The company's employees, who are full of fantasy colors, greeted Kaido, who was able to safely enter the company because of his magical aptitude and was not affected by the wards.
You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
I thought it was just a dream, but is it for real?
"You're lucky we're not trying to hide from reality. I'll just show you what I can do with it. Follow me.
"Oops.
"Oh, Jiro-san, is that the person who is visiting you?
So it was good timing to meet Suela, who was probably checking for delivery.
Even though she'd called ahead, it was still a good idea to see her.
"Good evening, Ms. Suera. Yeah, it's good to see you, my former company junior--
"My name is Kaido Zhong! I've come to you because I would love to have your company!
"Hey, you're moving too fast.
And where did that sluggish attitude go?
Kaido straightened his back and stood erect, just as Suera-san appeared in her usual suit, and with a fresh smile on his face, Kaido declared that he would enter the room even though he hadn't even observed the event.
''Senpai, senpai! What's up with that beauty?
"Close enough for you to see, but not so close. She's the one who hired me, Suela Hendelberg. She was my trainer earlier in the day. And still does.
"Seriously? Can that man teach you?'
'Oh, maybe I will.'
I'm sure Suela would be happy to do it if we actually asked.
Depending on what she wants to do, that may happen too.
Well, that's highly unlikely, but the two of them will surely be the ones to guide you.
If I refused to join the company by throwing water on Kaido's dancing mood, it would be bad for my situation, so I won't say anything about it.
To stop it, I found myself talking to Kaido about sales, and to Suera.
"I look forward to working with you.
Yes, sir!
I could see the juniors being made to sign a one-way ticket that would change their outlook on life.
Most men would say yes if they were asked that.
I can't blame the lovesick junior, but I would at least tell her not to loosen her mouth.
It's a privilege to be truly beautiful.
Jiro-san, Kaido-san, if you'll excuse me.
Thanks for your help.
Good night!
Kaido's reaction, which was a complete change from when he arrived, was to see Suera-san off with a full of energy.
''Senpai! I'm going to follow you, senpai!
His eyes were shining just as his voice was saying, and he was in full gear.
"Anyway, let's just move on to the tour of the company, okay?
'Hey!'
It's going to be fun to watch the tension rise.
You will follow the same course I saw at the interview, wondering how far it will go.
If you meet an employee along the way, you'll say hello, and each time Kaido's smile will grow brighter.
From dark elves to demons, dragons, giants and vampires, our company is full of beautiful women.
I don't know if they're deliberately gathering these types of members, but are they such people? There's no doubt about it.
The only people who can complain about all the environmental beauties in the room would be a sentient man or a gynophobic man.
My junior, who is not one of them, didn't seem to care about the conversation, even if it was a social call.
''Senpai! I've decided. I'll work here!
By the time I had my last cup of coffee in the company cafeteria, I had the look of a man who had made up his mind.
I'm sure I can guess what made him decide to join the company.
As a man, he wasn't wrong, but as a member of society, I think he made the wrong decision.
Just to be sure, I quietly had him undergo a magical ideological check midway through the process, but he was fine, and Superintendent Evia had sent me an e-mail about the job.
The only thing left to do was his own will, but that confirmation didn't seem to be necessary either.
From there, things went swimmingly until the contract was signed.
''Senpai! I'm going to quit the company now!
He ran off into the sunset as fast as he could, and three days later .
''I look forward to working with you from today!
Where is your company?
I quit!
What about the handover?
''Senior, you should know when your boss has a weakness, don't you?
What have you done?
"If I have a grudge, I can do anything.
Another familiar face was born between us.
"Oh, I didn't know people could fly like that.
The younger one is now a physical man.
"The Lord was like that, wasn't he?
I think it was a little more expensive when I was there, don't you?
"ka ka ka ka ka, is that right?
You decide not to listen to Fusio's words that you were a little rusty at the time.
Instead, there's a crashing sound, and then a crashing sound of metal.
It's clumsy as background music, but it's the perfect sound for me and the instructor.
"You're so reckless, if you thought about it a little more and swung your sword, you'd have less gap and energy consumption.
"You don't have much experience to know, you see, people will often say, 'There's always a next time.'
I don't think there's going to be a next fight with you guys.
"I'm not nice enough to have a next one.
It means if it's implicitly hostile, it's a kill shot.
Yes, I know. It's so ingrained in me.
Then me and Kaido are the lucky ones. You'll get another chance.
In fact, in all these things, interaction with the higher-ups is an asset in everything, even if it's painful.
That's what being next is all about.
It's a blessing to be able to experience this kind of recklessness.
But still, it's strange .
Although the conversation with Instructor Fusio should be bleak while Kaido is brandishing a serious weapon in front of him, this place is definitely more comfortable than the previous workplace.
The tempo of the air seems to have lightened a bit since the guy from Kaido came in.
......
'Oh? Too much?
It seems that he was somewhat engrossed in a conversation with Instructor Fusio, when he noticed that the training grounds had gone quiet.
The sight of Instructor Kio poking the collapsed Kaido with his sword as if to see if he's still alive is surreal.
He's no joke and won't move, so you'll just have to run up to him.
He's a living example of how when you're past your limits, you can't do anything.
Awake, Kaido.
However, if you allow that to happen, you will run out of time, so when Instructor Kio leaves, you will spill the contents of the object in one hand on Kaido.
''Haha! I think I've seen something I'm not supposed to see! Also, ...... my body hurts all over!
Kaido passed out with an expression on his face as if he was about to enter a funny face contest, but when he woke up by pouring a bucket of water on him, he looked better than expected.
It was the same with me, but people seem to be built for a reason.
"Shut up and drink.
Guvo!
Even so, he let it out to the limit .
Taking a bottle out of the holder on his waist, he puts the potion in Kaido's mouth, which doesn't move except for his facial muscles, and lets him drink it.
He gulps it down painfully, but it's a fantasy product.
It will heal Kaido's body as it gradually seeps into his body.
''Phaha! Potions work well, I wish I had them at my old company.
I don't want to be stuck in a death march drinking potions and working late.
A few seconds after drinking the potion, the pain has receded from his body and he used his abdominal muscles to raise his upper body up from a wide angle.
The light from the computer screen, the pile of project documents, the light from the computer screen, the mouth of a mentally slender face with no dark circles under the eyes, the combination of potions is too disgusting to imagine.
We're just getting to the end of the hour. Next is Fusio's training.
"...... Is magic the next step after physics?
The clock showed that it was almost time to turn back the afternoon's training.
As soon as Kaido learned that a magical nightmare was waiting for him from a physical nightmare, his face, which had been refreshed by the potion, turned darker.
'You had it coming. It's because you wanted the troublesome position of magic swordsman. Compound professions are hard enough. This is something you should have done if you want to get it from the start. And you should be grateful that they gave you two iron swords, leather gear, and a magical medium to negotiate with, albeit a lowly one.
A magical medium is simply a microphone.
It's a medium that allows you to speak, but through a microphone and into a speaker, your voice gets louder and farther.
Similarly, you can use magic without a magic medium, but you can increase its power and efficiency by passing it through a medium.
Since the lowest level is also the lowest level, the one given to Kaido is more of a teaching tool to grasp the feeling of using magic, but it's still useful.
It's a good thing that they are useful, because it takes a lot of effort to make a magic medium, so even the lowest level is expensive.
The price goes up even more when it comes to multiple jobs.
So in order for Kaido to live up to your expectations, you'll need to be trained properly.
I just thought it looked really cool.
You can change your mind now, but do you want to focus on one or the other?
'No, if I give up here, I'll never be popular!
Okay.
But when I heard that he chose this profession because it was so cool, I almost dropped my cigarette.
Even today's elementary school kids would have a more sensible reason for choosing this profession, but I think it's one of his specialties.
In a corner of your mind, you say no treatment, but since time is pressing, you don't mind and get up.
"Ah, yes, senpai.
What?
We're going to add more members, aren't we?
Yeah, you and I are not going to be able to do this alone, you know. We'll be adding more if we can.
I was called upon to keep it from happening, so I got in on the conversation as if I were going to accompany Kaido on his break.
''Well, then, then! Let's get more girls!
Oh?
'I knew there were no flowers if it was just men! And if you have a pretty girl to motivate you, I'm sure your motivation will be different!
You ......
I knew I had a lot of energy, but I had a headache instead.
I took a drag to cover it up.
Little did I regret scouting this guy.
Well, he's still not a bad guy, so I'll just forget about it.
"Hmm, you've made your point. I'll think it over and our break is over. I think we're ready, Officer Fusio. Sir.
In the meantime, it's best to keep the word "woman" out of this guy's head for now.
"Kaka, okay.
Whoa!
Fusio stood behind Kaido with a slippery hand on his shoulder, as if he were a monster in a horror movie.
"Then Jiro. How far do you want me to go?
With all my might.
"Kaka-kaka, I'm in charge.
How can you be so deadly?
Kaido, come on.
What are you saying, the bastard himself?
"Well, we're running out of time. Let's get to work. In the meantime, you get to experience all the attributes today.
'Too Spartan! Senior help--
Well, I guess I better get ready for the dungeon. I'm late getting home, so I'll be up early today.
Are you ignoring me?
"How nice of you to have the time to look after things. Can I get a little more serious?
Yikes!
The sound of an explosion could be heard immediately, but it would probably be fine .
For all the loud noise, I could see the shadow of Kaido, who was running as fast as he could through the billowing smoke, so I wouldn't have to worry about him being re-injured by a single blow.
Even so, I was a little worried, so I watched for a moment as Instructor Fusio unleashed his diabolical magic with his toy staff .
''Hoore-hooree! This is the Flame Spirits!
Fire! The fire is chasing us!
"Kaka-kaka-kaka, now the water? Lightning? Wind? A curse? Gravity? There's more to come!'
Instructor Fusio seems pretty excited.
Still, he doesn't seem to have forgotten about his training, so I guess it'll be okay.
Anyway, just as insurance.
Instructor Kio, here's a recovery potion. Take care of the rest.
'Oh! Leave it to me, I'll make you a fine swordsman!
Just don't leave me traumatized, okay?
"Rest assured, we will create a man who can overcome his trauma!
Instructor Kio gives me a big smile and thumbs up, instead of worrying about me.
You're sure you're going to have a traumatic experience.
But I couldn't say that even if I wanted to.
I see. We'll look forward to tomorrow. Then I'll go to the dungeon.
You can challenge me next time!
I'll give it a shot.
I gave you the healing potion, so I'm sure Kaido will be able to get through training with Fusio, who's equipped with a real hunting stick.
I leave instructor Kio in charge, bow and leave the training room.
"Heeeeeeeeee!
I decided to take Kaido's scream just as the door was about to close as proof that he was still alive and think about the problem at hand.
'New member hey, now what do we do?
Kaido has come in, so we have more members, but with me as the vanguard and him as the vanguard and middle guard, there's a bit of an imbalance.
In the end, we'll definitely need to add one or two more people.
"Woman, I'm feeling depressed.
At any rate, considering Kaido's desperate training, I'd like to give him what he wants.
But considering the reality of the scouts, it's doubtful that they can even pick a gender, let alone an appearance.
Well, we'll take it easy. Let's switch our minds, refill our inventory, and take on the dungeon.
It's a complete game term, but it's work to do.
I'll just focus on that instead of thinking about anything else.
I can remember the dancing girl I met in the park before, but she had her spyglass off at that time, so I don't know if she has magic aptitude or not, and I don't think I'll ever see her again.
Let's cut off the things that came to mind and get back to work.
Another side
Recently I have been wondering what life is all about.
I went to elementary school, middle school, high school and now I'm a university student.
I wonder how long it was before I could enjoy socializing with people as the environment changed.
Elementary school? Middle school? At least in high school, I feel like I was cool with it .
When did I start to find socializing a pain in the ass, and that was in high school? It feels like it was a long time ago that I felt it was faintly obvious .
It didn't take too long before I kept my socializing to a minimum and spent most of my time in my room.
What I was doing with my computer screen with no lights on was playing an MMORPG, or in popular parlance, an internet game.
I'm sure my classmates in the same lecture will tell me what a college girl is doing.
Then again, you'll be able to distance yourself from people with a fond smile.
That's also an inexplicable feeling of disgust.
Is it really necessary to have a relationship that ends with one word of bother?
I think it is easier and more fun to have an online relationship without seeing each other.
How wonderful it is that the world is made up of one click and one keyboard.
It's a rare item, and you'll be able to say "Oh, hey! How many times do I have to tell you that we're going to have food? Come out of your room for goodness sake! Kuhw, drftgy fuji lp!
The moment you tried to immerse yourself in this world more, a door was thrown open?
No, in my experience, "kicked down" is a better description of his behavior.
Surprised by the action, I quickly straightened up, but apparently it was the wrong thing to do.
I was caught by surprise, and I recoiled and fell right back.
I hit my lower back.
"d*mn it, I always tell you to play the game, but come down when it's time to eat.
Well, you shouldn't have freaked me out, that I did. And you made me fall off my chair, that I did.
"Shut up, you're on time.
''Ugh, she used to be so cute, where did we go wrong in raising her, that I don't know.
At least I remember taking care of you, but I don't remember being raised.
The light is turned on and you see the person who brightened the room.
You pick up the fallen chair and look towards the entrance and you see a little boy standing there with a tray in his hand, and again, for the sake of importance, a little boy.
Hey, didn't you just think that was rude?
I don't like it, that I don't think about it, that I do.
When you cover up like that, it's usually when you're thinking about my height, right? I guess we're not going to have any dinner?
'Not that much! Please don't let us just get away with starvation!
'Yeah! Don't get attached to me! What if the miso soup spills and burns you? All right, get out of here! I'll just lay out the food.
Mom!
'Who's your mother? I'm younger than you!
My name is Shiretoko Minami, and my tackling speed rivals that of a rugby player, but I'm still a self-proclaimed weak maiden.
Even my childhood friend and childhood friend, Masaru Tokorozawa, a boy half a head smaller than I am, can only catch it with enough force to hold his dinner in one hand.
After that, I hugged him so as not to miss my dinner, but Katsu is the kind of person who tells you to eat well even if you are fighting with him.
I can tell that what you just said was a bluff too.
The bottom line is that this series of actions is also a regular exchange.
As proof, when I left, instead of the desk with the computer, he placed dinner on a tray with tea on a small table near the entrance.
"Jesus, how long are you going to stand there? Your dinner is getting cold.
Oh~ It's Japanese food today, that it is... it's the first meal in a day, that it is.
You didn't have breakfast or lunch for a day?
Since it was my day off today, I ran off to play a game of tweezers in reaction to finishing the report, that I did. I regret that, but I don't regret it!
'Don't be brave! Oh, and make a mess of the room again, and make sure your textbooks are put away, and you've accumulated so much laundry.
You understand, don't you, Katsura?
That's what happens when the South doesn't do any housework at all!
I'll take it anyway, and while I'm eating my dinner, I'm going to take a seca seca, or is it chocolate chocolate? For now, I sipped my chopsticks as I watched Katsu move around busily.
Really, Masaru is going to be a good wife, that he is.
'Whose fault do you think it is that I'm so good at housework in general! And for the umpteenth time, I'm the man!
"Don't worry, that there is a man's daughter in the world, that it is. Masaru also looks a bit masculine, that he does, but he has a relatively neutral face, that he can be fooled as much as possible with makeup and clothing.
It's not my pleasure!
And I would like to say, that you will not win with my wife!
Who's your wife?
A win, that is. I'm sure anyone would agree with that, looking at what's going on right now, that I'm sure.
I think my words pierced him, he shook his shoulder and thought for a moment, and then he put his hand against the wall and covered his face with his hand, and wore a dark expression.
I can see a shadow above my head, that I can see.
...... I don't see any element of denial in this situation.
We have all the evidence we need, that we do.
Cooking dinner, cleaning, washing clothes, shopping, and probably some special fliers on the living room table downstairs.
They were neatly marked in red pen.
She used to blush at the sight of my underwear, but she has grown up, that she has. That hasn't happened recently.
I don't know how many years we've been together. It's too late for that.
I'd like to complain to my childhood friend who treats a woman's underwear like that, but I'll get back at you later because I'm busy sipping miso soup.
Well, I'm an open-minded person, so I'll pretend I didn't see the redness around my ears.
While I'm eating my meal, my room is being tidied up, the bookshelves are cleaned, the bed is made up, and any trash that didn't fit in the waste basket is put in the trash bag.
They are very skillful in making sure that dust does not get into the food.
It takes about 30 minutes and by the time I finished eating, Katsu was sipping tea in front of me.
"Common sense dictates that you shouldn't clean up while you're eating.
After you've done it, I hear it's a win-win, that it is.
I'm telling you to clean up after yourself in a roundabout way.
Even so, you love me for cleaning up, that I do.
I know I'm frying myself, and I'm consciously choosing my words in an effort to duck.
A little bit of blackness rears its ugly head inside.
But this childhood friend of mine...
...... So, how's the college?
He has a firm understanding of the territory I don't like.
You are one of the few people I don't bother with because you back off faster than I can tell you not to come in any further.
"It's just the same as always, that I'm going to go to class, get the credits I need to graduate, socialize in moderation, and then stay home. That's it, that's all.
And the slumped sicklehead slips off into the back of the room.
"So, as always, I'd like to ask you why I'm in there waking you up in the morning and making your breakfast and your lunch.
You forgot your dinner, that I did.
'Yeah, you forgot to clean and do the laundry too, what are you going to do when I'm gone?'
Starving to death, that it is.
'You're too innocent! Work!
But I refuse! I don't want to work, that I don't! I don't want to work unless it's a job that I find appealing, that I don't want to work for!
Don't lick society!
That's not something a high schooler would say, that it is.
Not even the words of a soon-to-be college student.
It reminded me of what my parents used to say to me when I was a kid.
What's the fun in living like this?" and that I should live my life so that I could show proper respect to the world.
Those nagging words were like a curse song that began to play over and over in your head as soon as you remembered them.
The warmth you felt a moment ago suddenly turned cold and uncomfortable.
You try to bob your head to get rid of it, but it doesn't seem to go away.
Your throat is choking as the cold chains bind you in place.
A heavy pressure.
Lately I've been feeling that there's no way around it.
Is it necessary to live with these things?
If you have to, I'd rather not say, "What kind of job do you think the South would want to do?
?
But a voice that seems to be watching us intently pushes the depression out of me.
...... That's right.
I deliberately change my tone to a slower one, as if forgetting what I was trying to think about .
It's not as if you didn't see the strange behavior earlier, but Katsu, who is looking at you with a sideways glance as if to the contrary, has put down his teacup and is ready to talk.
''It sounds like a fun fantasy world, that it is.
Is fantasy like a game?
I would like to work with magic and non-human elves and beastmen with beast ears, fighting dangerous creatures, that I would like to do.
'Don't bring a two-dimensional job to me, that's not real life.
I know that.
It's just that when I was told that I wanted to do this job, that's what I thought of.
I couldn't imagine myself working as an office worker, or becoming a nurse, or becoming a nurse, or any of the other realistic jobs that people think of becoming.
I was just saying, that I was.
That's it .
'What, I thought you were going to come out as a game creator or something because you love games.
I want to be on the consumer's side of the game, that I am, and it will be a pain in the ass to make it.
Why, aren't they good at drawing and stuff?
"It's a hobby, that it is - I don't want to work, that it is.
'What's that, you're going to end up settling in there?
That's all there is to it.
So, I am just coasting along with the few people who are not in pain.
If I can't see the meaning of such things, how am I going to live?
I can imagine the future where a recluse NEET will be born, not driven by a sense of righteousness like in the game, not driven by some impulse.
That may be why I hope that this daily life of casual conversation will continue forever.
I hope it doesn't change.
Is it selfish to wish so?
I would like a dessert, that I would like to have.
I'll tell you what. Why don't you go take a bath. I'll do the dishes and take you out.
In regards to my childhood friend...
Who gives a shit?
So I'm going to pretend I didn't see it.
I'm going to pretend I didn't see my childhood friend taking home the flyer from the job inspection, which he had planned to show me when he took down the dishes.
"Katsu~Where are the bath towels, that you are?
I'm putting it out, so get your ass in here.
You can come with me if you want...
Are you going in?

I'm going to get serious tomorrow, that I am!
Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, single, no girlfriendOccupation: Dungeon Tester full-timeMagic Aptitude 8 General ClassOfficer of the Year: WarriorBroha!Watch Kaido flying in the air with a sympathetic gaze, watching the moment he is slammed to the ground .''Gubo!''You miss the voice forced out of your lungs because you've followed the same path.Three minutes into the simulated training session, I'm lying on my back in a wide open position, unable to move, but I'm impressed that he didn't let go of the iron sword in both hands.The reason why he was able to hold it for three minutes was probably because of his sacrifice, and because he was able to control the existence that stood there with a smile that would make anyone run away.But you shouldn't have taken a direct hit, that one.You can barely catch an afterimage that shows a direct hit to the torso.You can also see that it was very tame.Otherwise, the sponge or cloth would have been cut off to the human level without causing the sponge or cloth to blow off, and the R-rated horror would have spread out before our eyes.The existence that Kaido confronted is of that dimension.I've grown accustomed to standing out of the corner of my eye, but the demon yakuza still emits a fighting spirit that makes you feel like you're being crushed.He's standing in a daunting position, arms crossed, happily waiting for Kaido to stand up.The chambered sword is no longer a magic sword in his hand. It's already out of the category of a toy in my opinion.Hey, Kaido, are you still alive?"Heh."Huh?He's not answering, he's just a corpse.'No, don't die, I was a fatal blow in the first place, seriously, you're still better than me for seeing the River of the Third Way.Really?Yeah.If I walked over to the prone Kaido and crouched down to check his condition, I'd probably have some bruises, but they're far from fatal.You'd be fine for fighting.You'll be fine for life... if your body hurts a little.Bottom line.Okay, go.I'm pretty sure that's the wrong letter!I'm not listening to you!I can't believe I'm dealing with that guy!'Fool, who said I'd listen to your wishes?This is a scam. I'm calling a lawyer!"You can call me when you've beaten the being in front of you, okay?It's black here too!'It's a different genre, maybe, but we have a beautiful woman over here.By the way, I hear the beauties here like strong men.d*mn it!You're a very greedy fellow, aren't you?This one is relatively easy to move.All he had to do was flick the bait in the hungry direction.I was struck by how manly or honest he sounded when he made the decision to join."Kaka-kaka, here comes another live one.Thank you for being here today, Instructor Fusio."There's nothing better than this kind of match. It will turn out to be to the advantage of our camp.I wish that were true.I'm no longer used to it, and I don't even care if a skull stands next to me, watching Kaido cut at Instructor Kio with a spirited attackToday is a week since Kaido joined the company, and my recent day has been a hard schedule of teaching classroom lessons to Kaido in the morning, practical training with him in the afternoon, and then diving the dungeon alone at night.You'll be able to find out what you need to do to get the most out of it.''Oh, I was blown away again."Kaka-kaka, why don't you join us, Jiro and Nushi?And then I could join you.'I have to go into the dungeon after this, so it's a little bad that I'm about to die."It's a shame.I hear he's learning magic too, so you'll have to wait a bit longer."Yes, sir, and may I have some fun with it?Instructor Kio happily blowing Kaido away and Fusio smiling his old man's smile next to him both love to fight.I'm sure that's because I've smiled so hard after beating them.I'm not sure if that's because they're demon king troops or because they're villains: ...... Whether it's because they're demon king troops or because they're villains, these people are very good at playing with the humanity of not letting them live and not killing them.They've got to be able to make an attack that is injured but not fatal, that is painful but not fainting, that is visible but not duck.Thanks to this, this kind of training can be conducted at the very edge of actual combat, as if Kaido was squeezing his physical strength right now.It may seem necessary to those who are watching, but for those who are receiving the training, it's definitely something that makes me want to ask them to give it a break.I also told Kaido to be very careful when he joined the company, but I can't imagine that he'd go this far.Then I remember what happened when Kaido joined the company.It was about half a month ago.The day after we went out for a drink was the day Kaido was coming to visit the company.It was easier than I expected, and although he was a little lazy with a hangover, Kaido arrived safely."You work at a movie studio?"If I had all this technology, I could have a shot at an Oscar in Hollywood, but unfortunately, that's the way it is.The company's employees, who are full of fantasy colors, greeted Kaido, who was able to safely enter the company because of his magical aptitude and was not affected by the wards.You will be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.I thought it was just a dream, but is it for real?"You're lucky we're not trying to hide from reality. I'll just show you what I can do with it. Follow me."Oops."Oh, Jiro-san, is that the person who is visiting you?So it was good timing to meet Suela, who was probably checking for delivery.Even though she'd called ahead, it was still a good idea to see her."Good evening, Ms. Suera. Yeah, it's good to see you, my former company junior--"My name is Kaido Zhong!I've come to you because I would love to have your company!"Hey, you're moving too fast.And where did that sluggish attitude go?Kaido straightened his back and stood erect, just as Suera-san appeared in her usual suit, and with a fresh smile on his face, Kaido declared that he would enter the room even though he hadn't even observed the event.''Senpai, senpai!What's up with that beauty?"Close enough for you to see, but not so close. She's the one who hired me, Suela Hendelberg. She was my trainer earlier in the day. And still does."Seriously?Can that man teach you?''Oh, maybe I will.'I'm sure Suela would be happy to do it if we actually asked.Depending on what she wants to do, that may happen too.Well, that's highly unlikely, but the two of them will surely be the ones to guide you.If I refused to join the company by throwing water on Kaido's dancing mood, it would be bad for my situation, so I won't say anything about it.To stop it, I found myself talking to Kaido about sales, and to Suera."I look forward to working with you.Yes, sir!I could see the juniors being made to sign a one-way ticket that would change their outlook on life.Most men would say yes if they were asked that.I can't blame the lovesick junior, but I would at least tell her not to loosen her mouth.It's a privilege to be truly beautiful.Jiro-san, Kaido-san, if you'll excuse me.Thanks for your help.Good night!Kaido's reaction, which was a complete change from when he arrived, was to see Suera-san off with a full of energy.''Senpai!I'm going to follow you, senpai!His eyes were shining just as his voice was saying, and he was in full gear."Anyway, let's just move on to the tour of the company, okay?'Hey!'It's going to be fun to watch the tension rise.You will follow the same course I saw at the interview, wondering how far it will go.If you meet an employee along the way, you'll say hello, and each time Kaido's smile will grow brighter.From dark elves to demons, dragons, giants and vampires, our company is full of beautiful women.I don't know if they're deliberately gathering these types of members, but are they such people? There's no doubt about it.The only people who can complain about all the environmental beauties in the room would be a sentient man or a gynophobic man.My junior, who is not one of them, didn't seem to care about the conversation, even if it was a social call.''Senpai!I've decided.I'll work here!By the time I had my last cup of coffee in the company cafeteria, I had the look of a man who had made up his mind.I'm sure I can guess what made him decide to join the company.As a man, he wasn't wrong, but as a member of society, I think he made the wrong decision.Just to be sure, I quietly had him undergo a magical ideological check midway through the process, but he was fine, and Superintendent Evia had sent me an e-mail about the job.The only thing left to do was his own will, but that confirmation didn't seem to be necessary either.From there, things went swimmingly until the contract was signed.''Senpai!I'm going to quit the company now!He ran off into the sunset as fast as he could, and three days later .''I look forward to working with you from today!Where is your company?I quit!What about the handover?''Senior, you should know when your boss has a weakness, don't you?What have you done?"If I have a grudge, I can do anything.Another familiar face was born between us."Oh, I didn't know people could fly like that.The younger one is now a physical man."The Lord was like that, wasn't he?I think it was a little more expensive when I was there, don't you?"ka ka ka ka ka, is that right?You decide not to listen to Fusio's words that you were a little rusty at the time.Instead, there's a crashing sound, and then a crashing sound of metal.It's clumsy as background music, but it's the perfect sound for me and the instructor."You're so reckless, if you thought about it a little more and swung your sword, you'd have less gap and energy consumption."You don't have much experience to know, you see, people will often say, 'There's always a next time.'I don't think there's going to be a next fight with you guys."I'm not nice enough to have a next one.It means if it's implicitly hostile, it's a kill shot.Yes, I know. It's so ingrained in me.Then me and Kaido are the lucky ones. You'll get another chance.In fact, in all these things, interaction with the higher-ups is an asset in everything, even if it's painful.That's what being next is all about.It's a blessing to be able to experience this kind of recklessness.But still, it's strange .Although the conversation with Instructor Fusio should be bleak while Kaido is brandishing a serious weapon in front of him, this place is definitely more comfortable than the previous workplace.The tempo of the air seems to have lightened a bit since the guy from Kaido came in.......'Oh?Too much?It seems that he was somewhat engrossed in a conversation with Instructor Fusio, when he noticed that the training grounds had gone quiet.The sight of Instructor Kio poking the collapsed Kaido with his sword as if to see if he's still alive is surreal.He's no joke and won't move, so you'll just have to run up to him.He's a living example of how when you're past your limits, you can't do anything.Awake, Kaido.However, if you allow that to happen, you will run out of time, so when Instructor Kio leaves, you will spill the contents of the object in one hand on Kaido.''Haha!I think I've seen something I'm not supposed to see!Also, ...... my body hurts all over!Kaido passed out with an expression on his face as if he was about to enter a funny face contest, but when he woke up by pouring a bucket of water on him, he looked better than expected.It was the same with me, but people seem to be built for a reason."Shut up and drink.Guvo!Even so, he let it out to the limit .Taking a bottle out of the holder on his waist, he puts the potion in Kaido's mouth, which doesn't move except for his facial muscles, and lets him drink it.He gulps it down painfully, but it's a fantasy product.It will heal Kaido's body as it gradually seeps into his body.''Phaha!Potions work well, I wish I had them at my old company.I don't want to be stuck in a death march drinking potions and working late.A few seconds after drinking the potion, the pain has receded from his body and he used his abdominal muscles to raise his upper body up from a wide angle.The light from the computer screen, the pile of project documents, the light from the computer screen, the mouth of a mentally slender face with no dark circles under the eyes, the combination of potions is too disgusting to imagine.We're just getting to the end of the hour. Next is Fusio's training."...... Is magic the next step after physics?The clock showed that it was almost time to turn back the afternoon's training.As soon as Kaido learned that a magical nightmare was waiting for him from a physical nightmare, his face, which had been refreshed by the potion, turned darker.'You had it coming. It's because you wanted the troublesome position of magic swordsman. Compound professions are hard enough. This is something you should have done if you want to get it from the start. And you should be grateful that they gave you two iron swords, leather gear, and a magical medium to negotiate with, albeit a lowly one.A magical medium is simply a microphone.It's a medium that allows you to speak, but through a microphone and into a speaker, your voice gets louder and farther.Similarly, you can use magic without a magic medium, but you can increase its power and efficiency by passing it through a medium.Since the lowest level is also the lowest level, the one given to Kaido is more of a teaching tool to grasp the feeling of using magic, but it's still useful.It's a good thing that they are useful, because it takes a lot of effort to make a magic medium, so even the lowest level is expensive.The price goes up even more when it comes to multiple jobs.So in order for Kaido to live up to your expectations, you'll need to be trained properly.I just thought it looked really cool.You can change your mind now, but do you want to focus on one or the other?'No, if I give up here, I'll never be popular!Okay.But when I heard that he chose this profession because it was so cool, I almost dropped my cigarette.Even today's elementary school kids would have a more sensible reason for choosing this profession, but I think it's one of his specialties.In a corner of your mind, you say no treatment, but since time is pressing, you don't mind and get up."Ah, yes, senpai.What?We're going to add more members, aren't we?Yeah, you and I are not going to be able to do this alone, you know. We'll be adding more if we can.I was called upon to keep it from happening, so I got in on the conversation as if I were going to accompany Kaido on his break.''Well, then, then!Let's get more girls!Oh?'I knew there were no flowers if it was just men! And if you have a pretty girl to motivate you, I'm sure your motivation will be different!You ......I knew I had a lot of energy, but I had a headache instead.I took a drag to cover it up.Little did I regret scouting this guy.Well, he's still not a bad guy, so I'll just forget about it."Hmm, you've made your point. I'll think it over and our break is over. I think we're ready, Officer Fusio. Sir.In the meantime, it's best to keep the word "woman" out of this guy's head for now."Kaka, okay.Whoa!Fusio stood behind Kaido with a slippery hand on his shoulder, as if he were a monster in a horror movie."Then Jiro. How far do you want me to go?With all my might."Kaka-kaka, I'm in charge.How can you be so deadly?Kaido, come on.What are you saying, the bastard himself?"Well, we're running out of time. Let's get to work. In the meantime, you get to experience all the attributes today.'Too Spartan!Senior help--Well, I guess I better get ready for the dungeon. I'm late getting home, so I'll be up early today.Are you ignoring me?"How nice of you to have the time to look after things. Can I get a little more serious?Yikes!The sound of an explosion could be heard immediately, but it would probably be fine .For all the loud noise, I could see the shadow of Kaido, who was running as fast as he could through the billowing smoke, so I wouldn't have to worry about him being re-injured by a single blow.Even so, I was a little worried, so I watched for a moment as Instructor Fusio unleashed his diabolical magic with his toy staff .''Hoore-hooree!This is the Flame Spirits!Fire!The fire is chasing us!"Kaka-kaka-kaka, now the water?Lightning?Wind?A curse?Gravity?There's more to come!'Instructor Fusio seems pretty excited.Still, he doesn't seem to have forgotten about his training, so I guess it'll be okay.Anyway, just as insurance.Instructor Kio, here's a recovery potion. Take care of the rest.'Oh!Leave it to me, I'll make you a fine swordsman!Just don't leave me traumatized, okay?"Rest assured, we will create a man who can overcome his trauma!Instructor Kio gives me a big smile and thumbs up, instead of worrying about me.You're sure you're going to have a traumatic experience.But I couldn't say that even if I wanted to.I see. We'll look forward to tomorrow. Then I'll go to the dungeon.You can challenge me next time!I'll give it a shot.I gave you the healing potion, so I'm sure Kaido will be able to get through training with Fusio, who's equipped with a real hunting stick.I leave instructor Kio in charge, bow and leave the training room."Heeeeeeeeee!I decided to take Kaido's scream just as the door was about to close as proof that he was still alive and think about the problem at hand.'New member hey, now what do we do?Kaido has come in, so we have more members, but with me as the vanguard and him as the vanguard and middle guard, there's a bit of an imbalance.In the end, we'll definitely need to add one or two more people."Woman, I'm feeling depressed.At any rate, considering Kaido's desperate training, I'd like to give him what he wants.But considering the reality of the scouts, it's doubtful that they can even pick a gender, let alone an appearance.Well, we'll take it easy. Let's switch our minds, refill our inventory, and take on the dungeon.It's a complete game term, but it's work to do.I'll just focus on that instead of thinking about anything else.I can remember the dancing girl I met in the park before, but she had her spyglass off at that time, so I don't know if she has magic aptitude or not, and I don't think I'll ever see her again.Let's cut off the things that came to mind and get back to work.Another sideRecently I have been wondering what life is all about.I went to elementary school, middle school, high school and now I'm a university student.I wonder how long it was before I could enjoy socializing with people as the environment changed.Elementary school?Middle school?At least in high school, I feel like I was cool with it .When did I start to find socializing a pain in the ass, and that was in high school?It feels like it was a long time ago that I felt it was faintly obvious .It didn't take too long before I kept my socializing to a minimum and spent most of my time in my room.What I was doing with my computer screen with no lights on was playing an MMORPG, or in popular parlance, an internet game.I'm sure my classmates in the same lecture will tell me what a college girl is doing.Then again, you'll be able to distance yourself from people with a fond smile.That's also an inexplicable feeling of disgust.Is it really necessary to have a relationship that ends with one word of bother?I think it is easier and more fun to have an online relationship without seeing each other.How wonderful it is that the world is made up of one click and one keyboard.It's a rare item, and you'll be able to say "Oh, hey!How many times do I have to tell you that we're going to have food?Come out of your room for goodness sake! Kuhw, drftgy fuji lp!The moment you tried to immerse yourself in this world more, a door was thrown open?No, in my experience, "kicked down" is a better description of his behavior.Surprised by the action, I quickly straightened up, but apparently it was the wrong thing to do.I was caught by surprise, and I recoiled and fell right back.I hit my lower back."d*mn it, I always tell you to play the game, but come down when it's time to eat.Well, you shouldn't have freaked me out, that I did. And you made me fall off my chair, that I did."Shut up, you're on time.''Ugh, she used to be so cute, where did we go wrong in raising her, that I don't know.At least I remember taking care of you, but I don't remember being raised.The light is turned on and you see the person who brightened the room.You pick up the fallen chair and look towards the entrance and you see a little boy standing there with a tray in his hand, and again, for the sake of importance, a little boy.Hey, didn't you just think that was rude?I don't like it, that I don't think about it, that I do.When you cover up like that, it's usually when you're thinking about my height, right?I guess we're not going to have any dinner?'Not that much!Please don't let us just get away with starvation!'Yeah!Don't get attached to me!What if the miso soup spills and burns you?All right, get out of here!I'll just lay out the food.Mom!'Who's your mother?I'm younger than you!My name is Shiretoko Minami, and my tackling speed rivals that of a rugby player, but I'm still a self-proclaimed weak maiden.Even my childhood friend and childhood friend, Masaru Tokorozawa, a boy half a head smaller than I am, can only catch it with enough force to hold his dinner in one hand.After that, I hugged him so as not to miss my dinner, but Katsu is the kind of person who tells you to eat well even if you are fighting with him.I can tell that what you just said was a bluff too.The bottom line is that this series of actions is also a regular exchange.As proof, when I left, instead of the desk with the computer, he placed dinner on a tray with tea on a small table near the entrance."Jesus, how long are you going to stand there? Your dinner is getting cold.Oh~ It's Japanese food today, that it is... it's the first meal in a day, that it is.You didn't have breakfast or lunch for a day?Since it was my day off today, I ran off to play a game of tweezers in reaction to finishing the report, that I did. I regret that, but I don't regret it!'Don't be brave!Oh, and make a mess of the room again, and make sure your textbooks are put away, and you've accumulated so much laundry.You understand, don't you, Katsura?That's what happens when the South doesn't do any housework at all!I'll take it anyway, and while I'm eating my dinner, I'm going to take a seca seca, or is it chocolate chocolate?For now, I sipped my chopsticks as I watched Katsu move around busily.Really, Masaru is going to be a good wife, that he is.'Whose fault do you think it is that I'm so good at housework in general! And for the umpteenth time, I'm the man!"Don't worry, that there is a man's daughter in the world, that it is. Masaru also looks a bit masculine, that he does, but he has a relatively neutral face, that he can be fooled as much as possible with makeup and clothing.It's not my pleasure!And I would like to say, that you will not win with my wife!Who's your wife?A win, that is.I'm sure anyone would agree with that, looking at what's going on right now, that I'm sure.I think my words pierced him, he shook his shoulder and thought for a moment, and then he put his hand against the wall and covered his face with his hand, and wore a dark expression.I can see a shadow above my head, that I can see....... I don't see any element of denial in this situation.We have all the evidence we need, that we do.Cooking dinner, cleaning, washing clothes, shopping, and probably some special fliers on the living room table downstairs.They were neatly marked in red pen.She used to blush at the sight of my underwear, but she has grown up, that she has. That hasn't happened recently.I don't know how many years we've been together. It's too late for that.I'd like to complain to my childhood friend who treats a woman's underwear like that, but I'll get back at you later because I'm busy sipping miso soup.Well, I'm an open-minded person, so I'll pretend I didn't see the redness around my ears.While I'm eating my meal, my room is being tidied up, the bookshelves are cleaned, the bed is made up, and any trash that didn't fit in the waste basket is put in the trash bag.They are very skillful in making sure that dust does not get into the food.It takes about 30 minutes and by the time I finished eating, Katsu was sipping tea in front of me."Common sense dictates that you shouldn't clean up while you're eating.After you've done it, I hear it's a win-win, that it is.I'm telling you to clean up after yourself in a roundabout way.Even so, you love me for cleaning up, that I do.I know I'm frying myself, and I'm consciously choosing my words in an effort to duck.A little bit of blackness rears its ugly head inside.But this childhood friend of mine......... So, how's the college?He has a firm understanding of the territory I don't like.You are one of the few people I don't bother with because you back off faster than I can tell you not to come in any further."It's just the same as always, that I'm going to go to class, get the credits I need to graduate, socialize in moderation, and then stay home. That's it, that's all.And the slumped sicklehead slips off into the back of the room."So, as always, I'd like to ask you why I'm in there waking you up in the morning and making your breakfast and your lunch.You forgot your dinner, that I did.'Yeah, you forgot to clean and do the laundry too, what are you going to do when I'm gone?'Starving to death, that it is.'You're too innocent!Work!But I refuse!I don't want to work, that I don't!I don't want to work unless it's a job that I find appealing, that I don't want to work for!Don't lick society!That's not something a high schooler would say, that it is.Not even the words of a soon-to-be college student.It reminded me of what my parents used to say to me when I was a kid.What's the fun in living like this?" and that I should live my life so that I could show proper respect to the world.Those nagging words were like a curse song that began to play over and over in your head as soon as you remembered them.The warmth you felt a moment ago suddenly turned cold and uncomfortable.You try to bob your head to get rid of it, but it doesn't seem to go away.Your throat is choking as the cold chains bind you in place.A heavy pressure.Lately I've been feeling that there's no way around it.Is it necessary to live with these things?If you have to, I'd rather not say, "What kind of job do you think the South would want to do??But a voice that seems to be watching us intently pushes the depression out of me....... That's right.I deliberately change my tone to a slower one, as if forgetting what I was trying to think about .It's not as if you didn't see the strange behavior earlier, but Katsu, who is looking at you with a sideways glance as if to the contrary, has put down his teacup and is ready to talk.''It sounds like a fun fantasy world, that it is.Is fantasy like a game?I would like to work with magic and non-human elves and beastmen with beast ears, fighting dangerous creatures, that I would like to do.'Don't bring a two-dimensional job to me, that's not real life.I know that.It's just that when I was told that I wanted to do this job, that's what I thought of.I couldn't imagine myself working as an office worker, or becoming a nurse, or becoming a nurse, or any of the other realistic jobs that people think of becoming.I was just saying, that I was.That's it .'What, I thought you were going to come out as a game creator or something because you love games.I want to be on the consumer's side of the game, that I am, and it will be a pain in the ass to make it.Why, aren't they good at drawing and stuff?"It's a hobby, that it is - I don't want to work, that it is.'What's that, you're going to end up settling in there?That's all there is to it.So, I am just coasting along with the few people who are not in pain.If I can't see the meaning of such things, how am I going to live?I can imagine the future where a recluse NEET will be born, not driven by a sense of righteousness like in the game, not driven by some impulse.That may be why I hope that this daily life of casual conversation will continue forever.I hope it doesn't change.Is it selfish to wish so?I would like a dessert, that I would like to have.I'll tell you what. Why don't you go take a bath. I'll do the dishes and take you out.In regards to my childhood friend...Who gives a shit?So I'm going to pretend I didn't see it.I'm going to pretend I didn't see my childhood friend taking home the flyer from the job inspection, which he had planned to show me when he took down the dishes."Katsu~Where are the bath towels, that you are?I'm putting it out, so get your ass in here.You can come with me if you want...Are you going in?Another side ENDShiretoko South, 19 years old, single, no boyfriend, with a guardian childhood friend.Magic Aptitude UnknownPosition TBDWord of the Day.I'm going to get serious tomorrow, that I am!
