The vanguard is popular.

I repeated Kaido's words in my head.

It's true that I've had some kind of connection with women since I joined the company, first with Suela and Memoria, and more recently with Himik.

It's no wonder, then, that others say I'm popular with them.

So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to deny it, but I'm not sure if the vanguard is more popular.

"Kaido, I don't know if you can say that to yourself.

"Oh, don't worry about me! Look! That fire-clearing guy is also very popular! Probability two-thirds, sixty-six percent! That's pretty much it!

No, there aren't too many examples of this, what's wrong with you, Suela?

No, I've been thinking about what you're saying, Kaido, and I hadn't thought about the tendency to be favored by the opposite s*x in terms of combat ability or areas of activity, so I hadn't thought about using that as a recruiting tool.

Well, that's true, it's a shady way to recruit. And if I tell you I like you because you're a swordsman, all the guys will be swordsmen, with the exception of you.

Yes, I would definitely throw away my magic.

You would.

The story of Kaido is so out of the ordinary that I can't help but laugh at the self-deprecation that follows.

However, it seems that Suera has taken the story more seriously than expected.

Since we started dating, I've heard a lot about how Suela, who was concerned about the bias of the first batch of students in the profession, used to persuade them, but I'm sure her methods were mainly about money or equipment and other assistance.

I certainly hadn't tried any relationship-related approaches.

That's true too.

If you're in the vanguard, you'll be popular with the opposite s*x! If a piece of paper with such a claim mixed in with a list of serious solicitations, it would certainly be unusual, but you'd think it was stinky.

But wouldn't it be a different story if you had some solid statistics?

No, it's true, but are you serious?

Maybe it's just my opinion, but I think there's a big difference in the way women value the opposite s*x between Japan and our world.

Maybe, because it's a different world.

Such details Suela began to think seriously.

We're talking about the value of the opposite s*x, that is, what it is that you find attractive.

As a man, I don't understand the details of a woman's point of view.

Good salary, good face, and good character, these are the rough common denominators.

The point is, financial power, good looks, and humanity are things that everyone is aware of.

If we want to talk about details, there may be a preference for a foreigner, and so on, but people's tastes are very different.

If people change, so do their preferences for the opposite s*x.

And if the world changes, you may have a new sense of value for the opposite s*x that I don't know.

That's why I can't understand what they say about the brilliance of scales.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this company.

You are right, Jiro-san is not wrong. Even the nobles value strength and the ability to fight as a kind of status. The average person lives side by side with wild demons, so the strength of a man who protects you is attractive to women.

"It was true!

Among them, the most conspicuous is the ability to fight, a status that is already obsolete to us modern people.

In this day and age, arm strength is not necessary unless you are a professional boxer who makes your living with your fists, or in special occupations such as the Self-Defense Forces or the police.

If a bear appears, the hunter's club will be warned by the hunter's club, if a criminal appears, the police will be warned by the police, if you use force, even if it is for defense purposes.

In today's Japan, power means economic power and influence.

Physical strength does not enter into it much.

Of course, in Japan, stories about how you can boast that you're good at fighting and get popular are just a part of the story and are probably transient.

But in Suera's world, fighting power is a status.

It was necessary because of the environment.

Unlike in Japan, where there is a dangers and dungeons industry, the equation that combat power equals economic power is in place.

You're still attracted to the strength of your seniors?

It is, well, not absent, and it is, but that's not all.

"Don't ask me crazy questions, a**h*le.

"Hebe!

Suddenly embarrassed by Kaido's questioning, you chop Kaido off his feet to stop him from talking about something strange.

Keep quiet about your possessive desire to keep your embarrassment from being seen by others.

Kaido wouldn't notice if it was the others.

'And then? I've heard of being attracted to strength, but that doesn't mean that only the vanguard would be popular, does it? Even in the rearguard, such as wizards and archers, the ones who are strong are strong.

It's true that if you look at some of the strongest people, there are a lot of people who are attracted to the opposite s*x, but if you look at the whole group, which is around average strength, that's not so much.

?

I understand that the strongest guy is the most attractive guy in Suera and her world, but that still doesn't make the equation that the avant-garde is the most attractive.

You're going to be able to find out if you're going to be able to get a good deal more information on the subject.

You're going to be able to find out what your preconceptions, or in this case, first impressions, are. I'll ask Jiro a question. Which do you think is stronger, the swordsman or the wizard?

"? It depends on the case, it depends on the difference in ability and the positioning of the spacing. It depends on the type of occupation.

Okay, now let's change the question. Who is better at defense, the swordsman or the wizard?

"That's more like it, yeah, I see.

Yes, overall, the wizard and the swordsman, the wizard's offensive power tends to increase, but the swordsman's personal defense tends to increase as he works in the vanguard, so naturally, the swordsman is the better defender.

Of course, it varies from person to person, Suela adds, and then goes on.

I somehow understand what Suela is trying to say, and I silently encourage her to speak, as well as answer her questions.

A wizard, by his nature, is supposed to have someone to protect him unless he is an expert. This is true for all rearguard positions as well. But on the other hand, swordsmen and other avant-gardens are more likely to be protected than defended. Therefore, there are many women who would rather be protected than defended, so if there is no difference in character or appearance with the same strength, the vanguard position is more popular.

"Really?

This is just a general discussion, but Kaido has been talking about the validity of a randomly proposed story.

While Kaido's eyes sparkle with the hope that he can keep the part he was hit by me under control, I'm only referring to this element as a possible use for it.

The fact that this stuff could be useful is unshakeable.

This may require some research.

"What do you do with a survey?

We just need to do a survey of our female employees.

But things are getting bigger than we thought.

Even at the possibility stage, Suela is beginning to conclude that it is a real possibility and a valid one.

If actionable Suela puts it into action, the questionnaire will probably be in place within a week.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about the results.

And if Suela's story is mainstream and the current testers hear about it, I'm wondering how they would react if they heard about it: ......

"Do I have to go that far?

"It's my job to motivate the testers. It's part of my job, so to speak.

I questioned whether you can expect so much from a man's instincts, but Suela is motivated.

If you're going to say that much, I don't have anything to say, and I'm happy to say that I'm useful to you.

It's probably best to move sooner rather than later. Excuse me Jiro, I have to get back to work.

Don't take it easy.

"Yes, goodbye then.

I watched Suela quickly return to work with a smile on her face as she went back to work, as if she wanted to give birth to a new idea quickly, and I lit a cigarette for a smoke.

Senpai! Did you hear that? The vanguard is more popular! This is good!

"Calm down, Kaido, you haven't really decided yet.

Seconds later, as silence briefly fills the room, Kaido rushes toward me, the purple smoke flickering.

While chiding the excited Kaido as if to say that the spring of my world has arrived, I think about the story you just told me.

It may be difficult to include it in the video clip, but I had a thought that it's not a problem if it's only mentioned as a story of my experience.

If I can recruit people with it, I will make money.

In addition, Kaido's motivation doubled after hearing this story.

Normally he doesn't get back to work quickly, but this time he's showing unprecedented motivation to work quickly.

Without intending to bother Kaido, Suera's arrival has motivated me to get back to work and I'll resume my work.

Considering the new ideas, Kaido and I proceed to talk about the PV.

My fingers are more advanced than before, perhaps because some of my worries have been dispelled and a solution has been presented.

The outline of the PV is being decided smoothly, so much so that I wondered what the time we'd spent together was.

The proposal, which was full of blanks, finally took shape.

I thought it would happen as it would, but I think the solution can be found in unexpected places.

As the third cigarette is placed on the ashtray, you think to yourself that you can get up early, but then you look at the clock and see that it's quite late.

Since there is no such thing as a regular schedule, this kind of time management is your responsibility.

Well, about time, I'll be up.

"Oooooh, yeah senpai! It's been a while since we went out for a drink.

"Outside? Oh, outside.

That's right, I've been dealing with senior wives lately, so I've been bored, and I want you to take care of my juniors once in a while.

"Oh, wait a minute, check.

"Wow, you're really on my ass.

Say it, it sounds like a bachelor's howl.

"Ugh, that was a boomerang.

I contacted Suella, Memoria, and tentatively Himiku to ask them to take me out for a drink after work while I do some silly contrivances, and got their permission.

The first two gave me permission on the spot, but Himiku wanted a souvenir and I had to buy something sweet to take home from the convenience store.

Let's go!

"Yes, sir! Well, it's been a while.

It's usually just underground.

There are many variations of stores in the underground mall, so you will never get bored if you let the rotation or your mood take its course.

Kaido seems to be frequented like an adventurer in a fantasy novel, but you will never get bored of it.

Even with all these stores, there are days when you want to go out for a drink.

Since the party room is in the dormitory, we part ways and meet up at the entrance later.

Himikku in the room gives me a strange look, but I just tell him that I'm here to change, shower and change into civilian clothes.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear from Himikku as he sends you off on your way.

I go out the front door.

Since I was taking a shower, I thought Kaido was waiting for me, so I walked a little too quickly to the entrance of the dormitory where I was to meet him.

Huh?

Kaido was there, but he wasn't alone.

It's the other testers, I believe, are they in some kind of trouble?

But the atmosphere doesn't feel like a sword swallowing.

Kaido is also troubled by Kaido, but he doesn't show any disgust.

I thought that the conversation would never progress if I was concerned about the unusual atmosphere, so I approached Kaido as it was.
