We received an internal e-mail about creating a video for a job posting, and after several days of reviewing the content with the supervisor who sent it, we had an additional meeting with him and were given a new assignment: to create a proposal.
The job was to write a proposal.
So to speak, the job was to decide the contents of the PV.
It is only natural that our testers were entrusted with the concept of this PV.
We need to know what kind of personnel the people in the field are looking for.
If we can put our opinions into it, then of course we should.
If you make a decision based on the judgment of the upper management without knowing anything, you will end up with a disagreement between the upper and lower management, and you will end up with something that's not right.
It is the top that loses and the bottom that suffers.
If this happens, a rift will be created between the top and bottom, and the atmosphere of disagreement will be bad for the workplace.
It's not a win-win relationship, it's a perfect LoseLose relationship.
But on the other hand, if the work is done properly, the top will benefit and the bottom will also benefit.
That is a win-win relationship.
Kaido and I decided that it is better to do it if we can be part of deciding such a crossroads.
Even though I'm constantly getting married and having a baby, or having a new wife, I don't think I can leave this place.
I'll be more enthusiastic than usual.
After all, the most important point in running the company is how many useful people we have on hand.
Even if you have good materials and equipment, it's useless if the people who use them are bad.
It's the same for those who come after us, or who will come under us.
It's fine to be dreamy, but it's also hard to raise blind people.
If the righteous idealist with no sense of righteousness and blinded reality arrives, then we have to make sure to screen them at the PV stage.
We're going to be responsible for the warriors or the vanguard in general ...... not enough pictures. Kaido, can you use your shield?
"I'm a two-faced guy, you know? I've never used it.
I know, I'm a big sword, so I can't use it.
If you were a senior, you'd wave it around with one hand, but you can't?
It's not impossible, but it's just that I've become accustomed to wielding it with both hands. The use of a shield would certainly expand the scope of the fight, but even if it's only for a while, that's not enough to ruin your current style.
The production of a PV was a challenge, but as amateurs, we were faced with a lot of problems from the planning stage.
Although we are amateurs in video production, we lacked the professional know-how to make a combat PV.
The role of the vanguard is to fight the enemy head on.
As well as defeating the opponent, the role of the vanguard is to protect the rear guard and prevent the opponent's progress.
Me, Kaido, and Kitamiya's former party member Hizuru are sadly the vanguard who put more weight on the attack than the defense.
Therefore, our defense is lacking.
It's not impossible to do so, but I'm the type to defend with a mineral tree, not a shield, and a weapon.
Since Kaido and Hucumi are mages and swordsmen, they are mainly in the style of bait to attract attention and evade rather than prevent.
They are both major styles, but as a shield (tank), they are evil.
When I first heard of PV, I thought it would be all about fighting, but there's a lot more to do than I thought.
It's partly because we're amateurs, but also because it's more than we expected to have to go into this much detail. The reliable and experienced Minami also said he didn't hear about it.
"You've missed the mark. If you ask, it's the wrong genre with a straight face, that it is! I was making batten marks with my hands as hard as I could.
The first thing that came to mind when this story came up was that Minami, who seemed to be very reliable and strong in this kind of relationship, also said that he had never done a genre such as video editing.
I thought there was nothing I could do about it, so I thought of another option and asked Suera if I could hire a contractor.
In addition, it's a matter of what we do, and if there is no subcontractor to do it for," he said.
We can buy materials, but I didn't think we'd have any manpower problems.
In this day and age, there are many companies that will make a PV or two if they can afford it.
But that is only if it is an ordinary company.
Unfortunately, this company is ordinary on the surface but completely abnormal on the inside.
Furthermore, the company's business is largely secretive and cannot be outsourced due to the high risk of having an in-house video production company.
Magical suggestion and memory manipulation are not that versatile.
They say they can do it, but when it comes to the real memory manipulation class, it's not at the suggestion level, but at the brainwashing level.
If the story had gone on, we wouldn't have had to make a PV proposal at the same time as the dungeon attack.
It seems that this company does not have the guts or the negative mindset to stop the project because it seems impossible.
As soon as I got all the necessary equipment from the internet or books, I was ready to make a proposal.
The Demon King's Army is currently forming a film crew with members who have quickly adapted to mechanical operations.
Demons, goblins, lizardmen, beastmen, dark elves, etc., etc.
It was quite interesting to see the various species facing the computer and reading the camera's instruction manual.
Personally, I liked the image of the Harpy with a camera attached to his leg while he was practicing shooting in the air.
Now this is a digression.
"There's no point in droning on. If our future workload depends on this proposal, then we're going to get serious about it.
"Ugh, the deadline isn't that short, so I'll be there for sure.
"Oh.
If we're told to do something, it's our role to do our best.
Kaido and I both know that this is just a theory.
I really want to beat the other guys.
The president of the company is going to see these completed videos, and he has informed me that he will give an extra bonus to the best one.
The amount is not clearly stated, but it is promised to be enough to motivate you.
I'd like to earn as much money as possible because I can see myself getting married and having a child in the future.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm more motivated than usual to get into this job.
But it is not going to be easy because I have never done this job before.
But as I've never done this job before, it doesn't go well. That's inevitable, so I have to accept it, but still the stress builds up naturally.
So, when things go wrong, I take up the dungeon test, which is another job, for a change of pace.
I'm stuck in creating a PV.
Dungeon test, rampage, stress relief.
Getting back to the point, the cast will include me and Kaido, but I'd like to see some of the other members on the show if possible.
"A comparison of the roles of the vanguard and the rear guard, right? If you want to see the vanguard in action, we can do it on our own, but that would be useless.
Yeah, if it's just the vanguard, it's going to be a video that's mainly about fighting. If we had other party members, it would be easier to explain their roles other than fighting in front.
"I'm doing a great job, too!
Well, the more comparisons we have, the more we stand out. But our music video will be about the vanguard, not just about fighting. We'll make sure we communicate that too.
"Yes, sir! It's quite shocking to see the discrepancy between what I've heard and what I'm doing,
In fact, I was working on this PV this morning as well, but as it went on, the conversation started going in circles.
Then I needed to change my mind.
So, when the time was right, I cut it short and just now I was running wild in the dungeon.
You're used to working in a reasonable hierarchy to find improvements and write up reports quickly.
And when you're moving around and your head is clear, you can resume your work.
It's hard to get motivated at the beginning. Be clear on what you do, no scams in the job description.
The only thing we can do is to tell them that the vanguard is dangerous, too.
Of course, it's more dangerous to play the vanguard if people think you're safer than you think. It's more dangerous to keep that disadvantage to yourself and proceed with the conversation.
It's not going to be easy to get people in.
...... That's the problem. It's not just a matter of how much you can demonstrate a flashy action scene, but also of how dangerous it will be if you shy away from it. If people think it's impossible to be a vanguard, it's still a problem. The more you put it in a moderate PV, the less powerful it becomes and the less attractive it becomes. It's a cumbersome adjustment.
That's what I'm talking about. I'm sure you'll be motivated by the fact that there are benefits to being a vanguard, even if it's a little dangerous.
"Merit?
"Yes,
"...... body becomes needlessly robust
I'm pretty sure it's the first training.
Yeah, I almost got along with that old lady on the Sanzu River because of it.
"Me too.
""......"
"Is this an advantage?
"It's a disadvantage that sounds like an advantage,
""......"
"Joking aside, merit?
That's right.
The story goes on in a moment of silence and distant glances, almost remembering the harsh reality, but not falling apart.
The content of the PV itself is decided at a rather early stage.
Show your true nature as a vanguard.
This is not a problem.
What we're struggling with is the degree to which we can show our true colors.
Show me the monster and show me its role in a real battle.
That's fine, and if you want me to do it, I can demonstrate it.
You can explain verbally about the paperwork that comes with it, and we'll skip that part, so there's no need to dig deeper.
Although the armament and job titles may vary from sword to sword, spear to spear, and hammer, the content of the pictures you take will be much the same.
However, our progress stops when we go a step further from there.
The question of how far to show the reality (realism) in question stands like a gatekeeper and prevents our work from progressing.
Although I have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, this is a new area of work for the organization, so I can't ask others to solve it.
If you have to learn everything by yourself, your progress will naturally be slow.
Speaking of avant-garde, it's a great way to play in RPGs and such, but in the real world it's pretty tough.
But isn't that the impression some people get?
Like you?
There are many people who work for you in the form of admiration.
If I wanted to, I could make a movie that would be an example for them.
Now I can kill a lowly dragon and make a movie of it.
When I just joined the company I wouldn't even be able to turn tail and run away...but now I can fight them with my nose in the air.
But the reality is that you don't want people to take that image for granted.
There might be some people who think they can do it right from the start.
but I don't think he can do what I can do from the start.
At best, you can lightly wield a seriousness, and a beginner would be hesitant to cut it because of the evasion and would struggle with it even if it was a goblin.
If you are a wizard, you can easily defeat them with less evasion, but since the vanguard is the profession with the greatest evasion, you will not be able to separate them even if you cut them.
Above all, the vanguard is fundamentally dangerous and you should not forget the sense of danger.
A sense of avoidance is naturally born for such sensations.
The result is reflected in the current job ratio of dungeon testers, so it's hard to laugh at it or make fun of it.
If it is a game or if you have the ability to cheat from the start, but in an environment where you have to follow the normal growth process, the barrier of risk awareness is relatively high for Japanese people.
Sounds fun. The reality for those who are the vanguard of this job is that it is painful to continue working just for the ideal of looking good.
There will always be a limit, no matter how much support you give.
Well, there are some people who continue to choose to be wizards because they look cool in front of them.
It's not uncommon for imagined ideals and reality to differ, but those who stumble into it usually quit.
Although there is a part of me that gives up, I still want to minimize the effort spent on it.
So, we are pondering over the content of the PV, but we can't come up with a good idea.
Oh, I could say I can use magic if I'm a wizard or something.
I can use it too, but not as much as in my day job. The only skill you have is shouting or being able to cut from a distance. It's not so bad, but it's not so bad.
"Shut up, you don't need to be fancy to beat a guy.
The charm of the vanguard is, as far as I can tell, conspicuous and cool.
It is the closest to the position of a brave man who protects someone and takes an active part, but the vanguard is also the one that requires the most effort in terms of work.
If you make a PV with this in mind, the content becomes even more troublesome.
You can make an action movie with flashy direction. You'll learn about reality after you get there.
That's just like the previous company that claimed to be a friendly place to work, where everyone gets along.
Oh, that's disgusting. But if you can't show them the reality and not the ideals, then what can you do?
If it comes to mind, it won't be hard.
That's right.
The content of the proposal never moves forward.
Even if there was enough time to meet the deadline, this flow is not good.
It's not easy to convey the appeal of your work.
"Yeah, I can see why they only show the good parts of the videos in the common commercials and such.
"Maybe you're assuming that people will quit to some extent?
Maybe.
No matter how much we think about it, the prerequisite of letting us know the bad part stops us from working.
Without it, we can do whatever we want, but that makes it unrealistic.
Just as we are about to give up on the limits of amateurism, the party room chime rings.
It's a weekday, and the student group of Minami, Katsu, Kitamiya and Amelia are going to school and are not expected to come.
First of all, there's no reason for those guys who have the keys to ring the bell.
Kaido, near the entrance, stood up from his chair and answered the door for a few seconds.
Kaido came right back.
"Suela, what's going on?
"I just wanted to check in on you. How's the progress?
"I would love to say it's not a problem, but I have no idea what the reality is.
The guest is apparently Suela, who easily invites us into the room, and Kaido returns to his original position to watch us.
It seems that Suela came to check on me as I was doing an unfamiliar task, but I'm glad she came for whatever reason.
I move to the couch and sit down with Suela and make her a cup of coffee.
"What's the problem?
"In terms of the dangers of the vanguard position,
There you go. You can't help but muddle it up to some extent, so why not make it flashy?
"I guess a little deception is still in order. ......
I know how you feel, Jiro. But not everything is as it should be. Compromise is necessary.
...... This is the only thing that can be done with a knuckle.
The ability to slay dragons doesn't help when it comes to this aspect of the game.
I can't help but smile as she giggles.
In this way, I discuss the PV with Suela and make some fine adjustments.
That's it!
Normally, when you are looking at such a scene, Kaido, who shows a hint of jealousy and says the right thing, telling you to do it somewhere else if you want to make out, suddenly shouts out.
"What's going on here?
Normally it would be a serious air of bad, bad and serious, but this time I felt like there was something different about the shouting, and I couldn't help but listen back.
I've come up with a secret plan.
"Secret plan?
"Yes! Only in the vanguard! No, that's the only advantage we have now! With this advantage, there will definitely be a lot of avant-garde hopefuls, even if you explain the reality after showing a flashy action video!
Kaido's demeanor is confident for a man with a suspicious smile.
I've never seen Kaido like this even in his previous company.
Seeing such an attitude Kaido, Suela nods in admiration.
"The advantage of being the vanguard, is...
"What's that?
The pompous Kaido's attitude is also tolerated if it solves the problem, and he listens back while humming with Suela.
"To be popular!
I thought for a moment that I had misheard Kaido's words, but it was probably not a mistake, as he looked at Suela as if to confirm that he had heard her correctly.
As I tried to listen to the end, Suela and I listened to Kaido's voice as he began to explain, wondering what on earth he was going to say.
Word of the Day
Quick action is necessary, but planning needs to be careful.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
We received an internal e-mail about creating a video for a job posting, and after several days of reviewing the content with the supervisor who sent it, we had an additional meeting with him and were given a new assignment: to create a proposal.
The job was to write a proposal.
So to speak, the job was to decide the contents of the PV.
It is only natural that our testers were entrusted with the concept of this PV.
We need to know what kind of personnel the people in the field are looking for.
If we can put our opinions into it, then of course we should.
If you make a decision based on the judgment of the upper management without knowing anything, you will end up with a disagreement between the upper and lower management, and you will end up with something that's not right.
It is the top that loses and the bottom that suffers.
If this happens, a rift will be created between the top and bottom, and the atmosphere of disagreement will be bad for the workplace.
It's not a win-win relationship, it's a perfect LoseLose relationship.
But on the other hand, if the work is done properly, the top will benefit and the bottom will also benefit.
That is a win-win relationship.
Kaido and I decided that it is better to do it if we can be part of deciding such a crossroads.

Even if you have good materials and equipment, it's useless if the people who use them are bad.

"I would love to say it's not a problem, but I have no idea what the reality is.
The guest is apparently Suela, who easily invites us into the room, and Kaido returns to his original position to watch us.
It seems that Suela came to check on me as I was doing an unfamiliar task, but I'm glad she came for whatever reason.
I move to the couch and sit down with Suela and make her a cup of coffee.
"What's the problem?
"In terms of the dangers of the vanguard position,
There you go. You can't help but muddle it up to some extent, so why not make it flashy?
"I guess a little deception is still in order. ......
I know how you feel, Jiro. But not everything is as it should be. Compromise is necessary.
...... This is the only thing that can be done with a knuckle.
The ability to slay dragons doesn't help when it comes to this aspect of the game.
I can't help but smile as she giggles.
In this way, I discuss the PV with Suela and make some fine adjustments.
That's it!
Normally, when you are looking at such a scene, Kaido, who shows a hint of jealousy and says the right thing, telling you to do it somewhere else if you want to make out, suddenly shouts out.
"What's going on here?
Normally it would be a serious air of bad, bad and serious, but this time I felt like there was something different about the shouting, and I couldn't help but listen back.
I've come up with a secret plan.
"Secret plan?
"Yes! Only in the vanguard! No, that's the only advantage we have now! With this advantage, there will definitely be a lot of avant-garde hopefuls, even if you explain the reality after showing a flashy action video!
Kaido's demeanor is confident for a man with a suspicious smile.
I've never seen Kaido like this even in his previous company.
Seeing such an attitude Kaido, Suela nods in admiration.
"The advantage of being the vanguard, is...
"What's that?
The pompous Kaido's attitude is also tolerated if it solves the problem, and he listens back while humming with Suela.
"To be popular!
I thought for a moment that I had misheard Kaido's words, but it was probably not a mistake, as he looked at Suela as if to confirm that he had heard her correctly.
As I tried to listen to the end, Suela and I listened to Kaido's voice as he began to explain, wondering what on earth he was going to say.
Word of the Day
Quick action is necessary, but planning needs to be careful.
We received an internal e-mail about creating a video for a job posting, and after several days of reviewing the content with the supervisor who sent it, we had an additional meeting with him and were given a new assignment: to create a proposal.The job was to write a proposal.So to speak, the job was to decide the contents of the PV.It is only natural that our testers were entrusted with the concept of this PV.We need to know what kind of personnel the people in the field are looking for.If we can put our opinions into it, then of course we should.If you make a decision based on the judgment of the upper management without knowing anything, you will end up with a disagreement between the upper and lower management, and you will end up with something that's not right.It is the top that loses and the bottom that suffers.If this happens, a rift will be created between the top and bottom, and the atmosphere of disagreement will be bad for the workplace.It's not a win-win relationship, it's a perfect LoseLose relationship.But on the other hand, if the work is done properly, the top will benefit and the bottom will also benefit.That is a win-win relationship.Kaido and I decided that it is better to do it if we can be part of deciding such a crossroads.Even though I'm constantly getting married and having a baby, or having a new wife, I don't think I can leave this place.I'll be more enthusiastic than usual.After all, the most important point in running the company is how many useful people we have on hand.Even if you have good materials and equipment, it's useless if the people who use them are bad.It's the same for those who come after us, or who will come under us.It's fine to be dreamy, but it's also hard to raise blind people.If the righteous idealist with no sense of righteousness and blinded reality arrives, then we have to make sure to screen them at the PV stage.We're going to be responsible for the warriors or the vanguard in general ...... not enough pictures. Kaido, can you use your shield?"I'm a two-faced guy, you know?I've never used it.I know, I'm a big sword, so I can't use it.If you were a senior, you'd wave it around with one hand, but you can't?It's not impossible, but it's just that I've become accustomed to wielding it with both hands. The use of a shield would certainly expand the scope of the fight, but even if it's only for a while, that's not enough to ruin your current style.The production of a PV was a challenge, but as amateurs, we were faced with a lot of problems from the planning stage.Although we are amateurs in video production, we lacked the professional know-how to make a combat PV.The role of the vanguard is to fight the enemy head on.As well as defeating the opponent, the role of the vanguard is to protect the rear guard and prevent the opponent's progress.Me, Kaido, and Kitamiya's former party member Hizuru are sadly the vanguard who put more weight on the attack than the defense.Therefore, our defense is lacking.It's not impossible to do so, but I'm the type to defend with a mineral tree, not a shield, and a weapon.Since Kaido and Hucumi are mages and swordsmen, they are mainly in the style of bait to attract attention and evade rather than prevent.They are both major styles, but as a shield tank, they are evil.When I first heard of PV, I thought it would be all about fighting, but there's a lot more to do than I thought.It's partly because we're amateurs, but also because it's more than we expected to have to go into this much detail. The reliable and experienced Minami also said he didn't hear about it."You've missed the mark. If you ask, it's the wrong genre with a straight face, that it is!I was making batten marks with my hands as hard as I could.The first thing that came to mind when this story came up was that Minami, who seemed to be very reliable and strong in this kind of relationship, also said that he had never done a genre such as video editing.I thought there was nothing I could do about it, so I thought of another option and asked Suera if I could hire a contractor.In addition, it's a matter of what we do, and if there is no subcontractor to do it for," he said.We can buy materials, but I didn't think we'd have any manpower problems.In this day and age, there are many companies that will make a PV or two if they can afford it.But that is only if it is an ordinary company.Unfortunately, this company is ordinary on the surface but completely abnormal on the inside.Furthermore, the company's business is largely secretive and cannot be outsourced due to the high risk of having an in-house video production company.Magical suggestion and memory manipulation are not that versatile.They say they can do it, but when it comes to the real memory manipulation class, it's not at the suggestion level, but at the brainwashing level.If the story had gone on, we wouldn't have had to make a PV proposal at the same time as the dungeon attack.It seems that this company does not have the guts or the negative mindset to stop the project because it seems impossible.As soon as I got all the necessary equipment from the internet or books, I was ready to make a proposal.The Demon King's Army is currently forming a film crew with members who have quickly adapted to mechanical operations.Demons, goblins, lizardmen, beastmen, dark elves, etc., etc.It was quite interesting to see the various species facing the computer and reading the camera's instruction manual.Personally, I liked the image of the Harpy with a camera attached to his leg while he was practicing shooting in the air.Now this is a digression."There's no point in droning on. If our future workload depends on this proposal, then we're going to get serious about it."Ugh, the deadline isn't that short, so I'll be there for sure."Oh.If we're told to do something, it's our role to do our best.Kaido and I both know that this is just a theory.I really want to beat the other guys.The president of the company is going to see these completed videos, and he has informed me that he will give an extra bonus to the best one.The amount is not clearly stated, but it is promised to be enough to motivate you.I'd like to earn as much money as possible because I can see myself getting married and having a child in the future.Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm more motivated than usual to get into this job.But it is not going to be easy because I have never done this job before.But as I've never done this job before, it doesn't go well. That's inevitable, so I have to accept it, but still the stress builds up naturally.So, when things go wrong, I take up the dungeon test, which is another job, for a change of pace.I'm stuck in creating a PV.Dungeon test, rampage, stress relief.Getting back to the point, the cast will include me and Kaido, but I'd like to see some of the other members on the show if possible."A comparison of the roles of the vanguard and the rear guard, right?If you want to see the vanguard in action, we can do it on our own, but that would be useless.Yeah, if it's just the vanguard, it's going to be a video that's mainly about fighting. If we had other party members, it would be easier to explain their roles other than fighting in front."I'm doing a great job, too!Well, the more comparisons we have, the more we stand out. But our music video will be about the vanguard, not just about fighting. We'll make sure we communicate that too."Yes, sir!It's quite shocking to see the discrepancy between what I've heard and what I'm doing,In fact, I was working on this PV this morning as well, but as it went on, the conversation started going in circles.Then I needed to change my mind.So, when the time was right, I cut it short and just now I was running wild in the dungeon.You're used to working in a reasonable hierarchy to find improvements and write up reports quickly.And when you're moving around and your head is clear, you can resume your work.It's hard to get motivated at the beginning. Be clear on what you do, no scams in the job description.The only thing we can do is to tell them that the vanguard is dangerous, too.Of course, it's more dangerous to play the vanguard if people think you're safer than you think. It's more dangerous to keep that disadvantage to yourself and proceed with the conversation.It's not going to be easy to get people in....... That's the problem. It's not just a matter of how much you can demonstrate a flashy action scene, but also of how dangerous it will be if you shy away from it. If people think it's impossible to be a vanguard, it's still a problem. The more you put it in a moderate PV, the less powerful it becomes and the less attractive it becomes. It's a cumbersome adjustment.That's what I'm talking about. I'm sure you'll be motivated by the fact that there are benefits to being a vanguard, even if it's a little dangerous."Merit?"Yes,"...... body becomes needlessly robustI'm pretty sure it's the first training.Yeah, I almost got along with that old lady on the Sanzu River because of it."Me too.""......""Is this an advantage?"It's a disadvantage that sounds like an advantage,""......""Joking aside, merit?That's right.The story goes on in a moment of silence and distant glances, almost remembering the harsh reality, but not falling apart.The content of the PV itself is decided at a rather early stage.Show your true nature as a vanguard.This is not a problem.What we're struggling with is the degree to which we can show our true colors.Show me the monster and show me its role in a real battle.That's fine, and if you want me to do it, I can demonstrate it.You can explain verbally about the paperwork that comes with it, and we'll skip that part, so there's no need to dig deeper.Although the armament and job titles may vary from sword to sword, spear to spear, and hammer, the content of the pictures you take will be much the same.However, our progress stops when we go a step further from there.The question of how far to show the reality realism in question stands like a gatekeeper and prevents our work from progressing.Although I have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, this is a new area of work for the organization, so I can't ask others to solve it.If you have to learn everything by yourself, your progress will naturally be slow.Speaking of avant-garde, it's a great way to play in RPGs and such, but in the real world it's pretty tough.But isn't that the impression some people get?Like you?There are many people who work for you in the form of admiration.If I wanted to, I could make a movie that would be an example for them.Now I can kill a lowly dragon and make a movie of it.When I just joined the company I wouldn't even be able to turn tail and run away...but now I can fight them with my nose in the air.But the reality is that you don't want people to take that image for granted.There might be some people who think they can do it right from the start.but I don't think he can do what I can do from the start.At best, you can lightly wield a seriousness, and a beginner would be hesitant to cut it because of the evasion and would struggle with it even if it was a goblin.If you are a wizard, you can easily defeat them with less evasion, but since the vanguard is the profession with the greatest evasion, you will not be able to separate them even if you cut them.Above all, the vanguard is fundamentally dangerous and you should not forget the sense of danger.A sense of avoidance is naturally born for such sensations.The result is reflected in the current job ratio of dungeon testers, so it's hard to laugh at it or make fun of it.If it is a game or if you have the ability to cheat from the start, but in an environment where you have to follow the normal growth process, the barrier of risk awareness is relatively high for Japanese people.Sounds fun. The reality for those who are the vanguard of this job is that it is painful to continue working just for the ideal of looking good.There will always be a limit, no matter how much support you give.Well, there are some people who continue to choose to be wizards because they look cool in front of them.It's not uncommon for imagined ideals and reality to differ, but those who stumble into it usually quit.Although there is a part of me that gives up, I still want to minimize the effort spent on it.So, we are pondering over the content of the PV, but we can't come up with a good idea.Oh, I could say I can use magic if I'm a wizard or something.I can use it too, but not as much as in my day job. The only skill you have is shouting or being able to cut from a distance. It's not so bad, but it's not so bad."Shut up, you don't need to be fancy to beat a guy.The charm of the vanguard is, as far as I can tell, conspicuous and cool.It is the closest to the position of a brave man who protects someone and takes an active part, but the vanguard is also the one that requires the most effort in terms of work.If you make a PV with this in mind, the content becomes even more troublesome.You can make an action movie with flashy direction. You'll learn about reality after you get there.That's just like the previous company that claimed to be a friendly place to work, where everyone gets along.Oh, that's disgusting. But if you can't show them the reality and not the ideals, then what can you do?If it comes to mind, it won't be hard.That's right.The content of the proposal never moves forward.Even if there was enough time to meet the deadline, this flow is not good.It's not easy to convey the appeal of your work."Yeah, I can see why they only show the good parts of the videos in the common commercials and such."Maybe you're assuming that people will quit to some extent?Maybe.No matter how much we think about it, the prerequisite of letting us know the bad part stops us from working.Without it, we can do whatever we want, but that makes it unrealistic.Just as we are about to give up on the limits of amateurism, the party room chime rings.It's a weekday, and the student group of Minami, Katsu, Kitamiya and Amelia are going to school and are not expected to come.First of all, there's no reason for those guys who have the keys to ring the bell.Kaido, near the entrance, stood up from his chair and answered the door for a few seconds.Kaido came right back."Suela, what's going on?"I just wanted to check in on you. How's the progress?"I would love to say it's not a problem, but I have no idea what the reality is.The guest is apparently Suela, who easily invites us into the room, and Kaido returns to his original position to watch us.It seems that Suela came to check on me as I was doing an unfamiliar task, but I'm glad she came for whatever reason.I move to the couch and sit down with Suela and make her a cup of coffee."What's the problem?"In terms of the dangers of the vanguard position,There you go.
