A month has passed since the story of PV came out.

In the meantime, I have been challenging dungeons and traversing the hierarchy as part of my job.

It was refreshing to see the addition of a PV shooting job to spice up the dungeon exploits that become such a part of our daily lives.

Personally, I was wary of anything that might happen when the PV was announced, but the peace and quiet continued as if I ignored my feelings.

The other testers who came up to me when I went out for a drink with Kaido have not been heard from since then.

It might be strange to say that I was at peace fighting in the dungeon every day, but I'd say this past month was peaceful enough for me to be able to say that I was at peace with being kidnapped by the instructors' revelries from time to time.

At least mentally, I was at peace.

Life with Suela, Memoria and Himik is going well.

I guess that's what they call smooth sailing.

Looking back, I've had a stormy time since I joined the company.

If you've lived such a life, I think it's no problem to take a pause here.

"One camera OK!

"Two turtles! Position yourself higher up!

"Three turtles! Not there more right! Don't get in the magic range!

"You are ready for a summoning team of monsters for shooting!

"In five minutes!

"Slow! Two minutes!

Even if the scene is right in front of you on the scene of a scene of a scene.

The various demons, dark elves, giants, lizardmen, beastmen and various other members of the demon king's army are busily moving around with equipment in hand, not to mention ups and downs, using highs and lows to prepare for filming, moving around in all directions with their magic.

I was in such a day.

While doing our regular work, we were planning the PV and finally got the date for the shooting.

Whenever I had time, I had a meeting with the director of photography, the devil, and when I had time, I felt like a movie actor, but what we had to do was no different from our normal duties.

All you have to do is to kick the enemy's ass with aplomb.

If you are conscious of the implications of your work, it's no different from what you would normally do if you were conscious of the implications of your work, I'm sitting at the side of the shooting location, drinking coffee and waiting for the shooting preparations to be finished, and checking the clasp on my armor to make sure it's not loose.

I check for any looseness in the fastenings of the armor while waiting for them to finish preparing for the shoot. I think we've prepared well for today!

I'm getting a stomach ache, that I can go home? It's rather serious.

"Let's see, the order of magic is to shoot the beginner level and then get ready for the big magic.

"I'm here, and then um, Max, what do I do next?

"Jump on the enemy's back," he says. And my name's Mike. Don't forget.

"......s

But it seems I'm the only one who thinks there's only so much to be laid back about.

I look towards the full group in response to Kaido's call.

Just one look at the party members is enough to give you a glimpse of their condition.

If you're asking about their condition, I'd say it's worse than any other time in history.

Not just physically, but mentally.

I don't know how many times Kaido has asked for an equipment check.

Minami, holding her stomach and pale face, announces her refusal to perform with all her might.

Behind him, Kitamiya is checking the script for perfection.

In the background, a small shadow is flitting about as if it were in the background.

Just before the show, Amelia has been flitting around at the edge of the scene, trying to learn her role.

In the middle of the game, she stops as if a question mark is about to appear above her head, but her patronus, Mike, gives her instructions for her next move.

And Katsu, who seems to be the most calm, has been standing and sitting up for some time now.

General Comment.

Everyone is tense and stiff.

I didn't expect them to be so distracted, as they are usually reasonably nervous and reasonably relaxed to tackle dungeons.

We thought we could afford to have a little fun: ......

I'm not sure if I can really shoot in this way.

I told you many times beforehand that it wouldn't work out the way it was supposed to, so you should fight like you always do, but the unique atmosphere of this place has made you feel like you're in the wrong place.

"Calm down, Kaido, there's no need to dress up. Just fight with more panache than usual. Then this job is done.

I know that, but.... I know that, but I get nervous when I think about being on film. Why are you so calm?

"In the extreme, they'll just film you fighting. And that's better than fighting the instructors.

Oh, well, that certainly makes me feel a bit better about myself.

I don't have much sympathy for it, that I do.

If it was me in the past, I would be nervous in such a situation, but unfortunately, my threshold for being nervous has been thrown off by my experiences since I joined the company.

Thanks to this, I don't get nervous about ordinary things anymore.

You can see that the criterion for being nervous or not is based on a criterion that is impossible in everyday life, whether life is involved or not.

This shooting only involves summoning and defeating a soul monster, and the information about the monster to be defeated is pre-informed.

There is almost no chance of losing.

If this shooting was a battle with the instructors, I would not be taking it so easy, I would be sharpening my nerves and doing my best to find a way to survive.

Eventually I would have retracted, but I'm sure I would have considered a tactic that would have allowed me to escape on the way.

Who's willing to jump into a dead zone where it's not necessary.

Hey, you guys, attention!

But it's only because I've had more extraordinary experiences than anyone else since I joined the company, and it's strange to ask these guys who haven't had that much experience.

To reopen the door, you clap your hands and get the attention of the party members.

"Listen, guys, what we're going to do is just an extension of what we usually do. No, we're not going to be exchanging lives, so it's a much easier job than usual. If you make a mistake, you can do it again. I don't want to tell you to let go of your nerves, but go easy.

He says it in a serious tone, but at the last minute, my expression falls apart and I let out a bitter laugh.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to ask the film crew to make an outtakes book for you to look at afterwards to create tension in a different direction. It's not a bad idea to launch it to snack on it, either.

People can be nervous just at the thought of failing.

It can be the first challenge or the tension that comes from inexperience of not having enough experience in the field.

It is not a bad thing to give serious encouragement to such tensions, but it can make you more nervous.

Therefore, I dared to say that it was okay to fail, and then I aimed to ease the tension by joking around a bit.

And while making a show of it, I mix it with a little curiosity to see a bit of the real NG collection.

Stop, that is! To record my black history, much less have a screening of it! A public execution, that is?

"You're still a good girl, aren't you? If I'm not good at it, the information will be passed on to the girls I'm going after!

As expected, each showed a moment of relief, but then the bite of the two people who would react the most was good.

Probably, they are the two people who I think might fail the most in this party.

I was expecting a good reaction, and I was right.

And this is the kind of reaction I should have gotten.

"Well, it's just a matter of not screwing up. Unlike those guys.

"Really? I'm a little worried though.

"You'll be fine, if it comes down to it, the spirits behind you will take care of it.

"A rear spirit is a terrible thing to say. Can you at least be a guardian spirit?

"Have you ever been the least bit protective of Amie?

"I have the knowledge side, but

"If it's a Patronus, it won't do much good without physical protection.

"Hmmm, maybe I'll practice attacking the undead next time.

Do so.

"Ha-ha, don't do anything funny without my knowledge, okay?

Seeing that, there are people who can calm down.

You'll be able to see that you're not the only one who has been nervous, but you can also sigh lightly as if you're an idiot, and next to you, Kitamiya taps Amelia's shoulder, which is a little stiff, and loosens it up.

"Come in.

"Oh, sorry.

"No, I'm fine.

Katsu also returned to his usual form and made a fresh cup of coffee, and his Occan skill was activated.

I was just about to sit down in a chair to see if I could finally take it slow and wait for you in this atmosphere, when I heard a sound like something flapping its wings.

Lord, I've brought you lunch.

Isn't it early?

"What, I'm doubling as Suela's bodyguard. No wonder you're early.

"I'm telling you I'm fine,

"Suela is a pregnant woman, you can't wait until something happens to her.

"Himik is a little overprotective.

These days it is a familiar feather sound.

The slightly peculiar sound source was, as you might have guessed, a Himik with three pairs of black wings.

In the past week, it has become a familiar sight to see a four-tiered stack of boxes in each hand, led by Suela, who is a little more loosely dressed behind them.

And even though the fallen angel (Himikku) has appeared, no one is alarmed, rather they are lightly exchanging greetings.

I honestly admired Himiku's character for creating such a scene.

I remember one day a little while after the day I brought Himiku home.

At first she was confined to her room, but despite her fall, she didn't become lazy.

Rather, she said, "Lord, what can I do?

"Lord, is there anything I can do for you?

After a short break, within a few days Himik actively sought work, wanting to be useful.

It's like a workaholic office worker who doesn't know what to do on her days off, and because she had no time to spare, she immersed herself in her work, but the feeling was understandable.

But now that we live together, me, Suela and Memoria were a little lost in judgment.

It's not a good idea to have a fallen angel roaming around the company, even if he's well aware of it.

Letting Himik wander around is like letting a rabid animal out of its cage.

In other words, now she's just taking a walk and could get into trouble.

But at the time, we thought it was a bad idea to ignore Himik's intentions without thinking.

Then how about some housework?

"Housework?

It was in our common understanding that it would be just as well to give them some kind of role, so Memoria made a suggestion.

It's true that the three of us have work to do, so it would be helpful if you would take care of this room.

"I see! Then I'll take care of it!

Perhaps God himself did not expect an angel to do such a chore.

Perhaps because I nodded in agreement with Memoria's suggestion, rather than a crane's call, Himikku began to work on her chores from that day.

Of course, at first she couldn't clean, cook, do the laundry and other general household chores, but with her inherent earnestness and good physical specs, she steadily improved, and now she was better than any of us.

I once mentioned that she had a talent for this kind of work.

Really? Lord!

"Oh, yeah, I think so,

"I see! Then I'll have to try harder!

"In moderation, don't take it easy, okay?

"Oh! I know!'

It's still fresh in my mind that Himikku was so happy that his dog's tail was fantastic.

Cleaning, laundry, ironing and cooking was completely left to Himikku's own devices.

In her room, there are more and more cookbooks on her bookshelf, or perhaps I go out and buy them from time to time.

However, Himikku's appearance has been changing.

At first she was dressed in casual clothes like jeans and a t-shirt that was easy to move around in, but after seeing some Japanese clothing in a fashion magazine, she ended up wearing a kappogi (Japanese cooking uniform) as her daily wear.

How do you like it, Lord! Do I look good?

"Oh, yeah, it looks good, but what's up with that?

"Prepared by Memoria! In Japan, you would be dressed like this to clean?

I failed to react when I saw the fallen angel dressed in a light green kappogi, but that didn't bother Himik, who was pleased to hear that I looked good.

And it's not hard to move at the sight of the joyful Himikku, is it? And I couldn't make my comment that it's not common.

Well, I was convinced that it was fine because it looked good on me.

It was natural for Himiku to get involved in bento making.

It's a good idea to have a good time.

So in order to be of some help, Himiku started making bentos for us.

But here's a little problem.

We need ingredients to make our lunches and we need to go outside to buy them.

At first, Memoria, closest to the mall, was to do the shopping.

Himik would buy the ingredients he ordered and make his lunch.

That was the cycle, but I made a mistake.

I didn't have a bento these days, and I forgot to bring Himiku's bento with me.

Himiku noticed and tried to go outside to deliver it to me because we were in the same building.

It was well-meaning in spirit, and I never meant to offend, but the problem was Himiku's tribe.

As she floated about with her wings out in her usual manner, she was caught in the act of collapsing a staff member carrying equipment for a music video.

At the moment of the catastrophe, Himitsu held up the equipment at high speed and prevented it from collapsing, but the sudden appearance of the fallen angel caused everyone around him to panic even more.

I was called to the scene, and when I rushed over to investigate what was going on, there was Himiku, who was sitting there, looking like he was in a bad mood, surrounded as if he was being guarded.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

"I'm sorry Lord, I've caused a scene.

He sat there still like a child afraid of being scolded for his mistakes.

I was aware that if I did something wrong, there would be more commotion.

The only thing I could do for Himiku was to do my best to clear up the misunderstanding.

She had no malice in her mind, and she helped with good intentions.

Even if she was the same kind of vicious angel from the old stories, she had no intentions of doing so now.

Just that she was trying to deliver my lunch that I had forgotten.

Fortunately, the people carrying the equipment knew each other, and they understood and agreed with Himik's actions.

I think that was the beginning.

Rumors spread quickly, and before I knew it, the existence of Himikku was once again known throughout the company.

A fallen angel carrying lunchboxes and...

Thanks to that rumor, there was no need to panic and we were able to go shopping, even though one of us had to lead the others.

First the mall, then me, Suela, and Memoria, all involved in the lunch delivery route.

Before I knew it.

Oh! Girl! Don't we have one for us?

I'm sorry, but I only made it for the Lord. I'll get you something to eat.

That will be fun!

Combined with Himikku's naturalness, I blended in completely.

The supervisor's dismay at seeing this scene is best known to me, who was warned.

Come on, Lord, eat up.

At any rate, I'm glad Himikku has adjusted to it.

Now, let's have some before Kaido and the others eat us.

Word of the Day

That's a man you can't hate.
