Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, single, no girlfriend
Occupation Dungeon Tester (full-time) + Recruiter
Magic Aptitude 8 (General Class)
Officer of the Year: Warrior
Oh, sorry to bother you.
What the hell am I saying?
I scratching my head, feeling the suit I've grown accustomed to wearing so often lately.
I'm used to running that many scouts.
I remember that with the feel of hard hair in the palm of my hand.
If this is a dream, then you need to wake up and go out on the road or work a dungeon attack.
So just admit it.
Unfortunately, this isn't a dream... but the reality.
It wasn't because I was crazy or on bad medication, but because, yes, I was a little bit buoyed by the scout who was about to tie me up.
That's probably why.
I got as far as knocking, but I opened the door before I heard an answer from inside.
It wasn't a changing room, and it wasn't a private room, if I had an excuse.
What's more, it's certainly a room that would normally be used infrequently, but it's called a conference room.
So who's to say.
The other day, after I gave my business card and arranged for an interview, a high school boy was pushed down by a college-age woman in a woman's suit on the day I gave him my card and asked him if he wanted to work there.
Who could have foreseen that such a phenomenon would happen in the company he was working for? No, I couldn't.
Calmly reassess the situation.
The woman was in tears.
And I saw her push the boy down.
No other way to say it.
That's the end of the situation.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
So, don't get me wrong, I wasn't so much in the know as I was in the know.
I went in on the scene.
If I saw this from an outsider's perspective, I would have figured out the situation.
Maybe it's just a mistake.
Maybe it just happened that way.
Something happened.
But all I could do was just can't stand the air and leave the room.
Can you listen to ......?
Bottom line, there's nothing we can do about it .
What's sad is that I can't just step in and ask what you're doing in an affair between a man and a woman.
That's funny, I went into this interview with high hopes.
I remember it was about three days ago.
Around the evening, I was coming out of the dungeon when I received a telepathic message from Suera.
Jiro-san, there's a call for you. It's about the other day's scouting.
'Really? Miss Suella!
Yes, sir, I'll connect you now.
Suella telephoned me to go near the phone, and after the dungeon, I grabbed the extension from my room.
The first person I talked to was the boy I gave my card to.
I was a little nervous, but the conversation went smoothly with a mature boy who spoke respectfully, and I was able to tell him the date of the interview and that I had my resume ready.
I was even happier that day because he was even more fortunate that he wanted to have another interview with me.
I'll never forget to check whether the other person's magic aptitude was correct or not.
After confirming thoroughly, the other person could also read the job ad and had a high aptitude of seven.
I still remember my fist pose right after I hung up the phone.
I have two people coming for an interview. It's next Saturday at one o'clock in the afternoon, but can I ask the receptionist to help me?
Yes, no problem, I'll let her through. I'm happy for you, Jiro.
"Yes, you've finally got a fruit.
I talked to the company and it was just like that.
I remember being happy for them, along with Suela, who was happy for me.
I never had a job interview.
Still, I tried to do the best I could with the little time I had.
And today, even though you had plenty of energy and stamina on that day, you're as tired as the next morning's workday after working overtime after having only witnessed one moment of it.
My mind tells me to get angry, to pay attention, to listen to what's going on, but my emotions in the face of the scene made me choose to retreat.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
There's a difference between what you know and how you react on the job.
I was reminded of that.
And I can't resist the urge to take on another task (dungeon attack).
"Huh, okay, I didn't see anything.
But we can't go through with it.
If we run now, we'll miss our chance to bear fruit, and most importantly, it won't be good for either of us.
I'll knock three times.
And now we wait.
Your ears, strengthened by the magic crest, pick up the sloshing sound inside.
"Yes, please.
I'm nervous.
I can see that in your hand, and it makes me a little nervous, too, being influenced by the voice chamber.
I tell myself to calm down and slowly open the door slowly .
This time I'm relieved to see the two of them sitting tightly together.
But it's short-lived.
As a novice interviewer, I don't understand how they could be so nervous, but the woman is completely teary-eyed and nervous.
But why does the boy, Tokorozawa, look like a liberated monk and realize something?
...... Do you want a cup of coffee anyway?
It is difficult to enter the interview suddenly in such an atmosphere, and I sincerely hope that that magic trick will ease the tension between them as they nodded silently.
It's a good idea to have a good time to introduce yourself," he said, "I'm Tanaka Jiro, human. I'm sure you've read the job description, but the beings here, including the person who showed me around, are not special make-up, CG or robots, so I suggest you get used to it as soon as possible.
"Yes.
And, as you can see, it's a space where magic exists.
"Yes.
awkward, yeah, very awkward.
It's making me nervous when the only thing I get from the conversation is yes.
I want to say out loud that we should play more catch-up.
If it were a normal interview, I could have knocked them off with a single shot, but if I remember the time I interviewed, they still have a more sane reaction.
After all, it's a dark elf declaration at the opening.
It's just cute to stare at a cup of coffee like you're trying to pull a magic trick.
Well, there's nothing more memorable than that first encounter, but once you say it.
Snap!
This woman, Shiretoko Minami, looks like she's going to cry.
She overreacts to just making eye contact over a cup of coffee.
It's not going to happen.
For me personally, I'd like them to be in there.
It was a bit of a happening encounter, but I didn't get the impression from talking to Tokorozawa that he was a bad person.
She must not be a bad person if he's the one who brought her here.
But society is not so lenient as to hire people just because they aren't bad.
Our first priority is to make sure the job lasts and that they have the ability to communicate.
......
When I got there, I thought, "No.
I got the résumé.
Bikuris and the two of you react at the same time.
This isn't like other companies. The Japanese way of thinking doesn't apply outside here.
As Superintendent Evia said to me the other day, what's the fun in having casual relationships.
So yeah, I'm not looking for a blah blah blah colleague.
I'm looking for a colleague to have my back.
Hey, sorry to barge in on you guys.
Then I'll be the first to see it.
"?
I'll show you a job at this company and you can move on.
Surely it's not too late to start there.
The two of you are confused that I cut off the interview so abruptly.
I'm sorry, but it would have been better for the future if you'd shown them first.
Besides.
I'll show you what fantasy is all about.
Pranking is more fun than I thought.
On the other hand, I was standing in the training facility equipped with my normal work clothes.
"Senpai, why am I here in full gear? It's a holiday today, right?
There's a junior standing next to me who beat me up even though it's his day off.
''Oh? You said you wanted a female colleague, so I got you that colleague you've always wanted. Is that how you talk to your seniors?
'I love you, senpai! So, where is it? Who is that cutie!
No one has called it pretty or beautiful, but you're jumping to conclusions.
I'm going to reaffirm that he's a cash cow, and with Kaido looking around hurriedly at his side, I'm going to re-examine my own equipment.
''Senpai's not here!
Yeah, upstairs.
I resisted the urge to say that it was obvious that there was no one here who hadn't carved the Demon Gate, and pointed to the upper bleachers .
''Oh, you're a college student, is that your brother next to you?''
With the same magic crests and enhanced physical abilities, it may be impossible to get the details, but from about 20 meters away, it can at least capture an approximate appearance.
I heard that a top archer can find a toothpick on the horizon.
"Depending on the presentation, those two will be joining us on a part-time basis.
I didn't hear anything about the presentation. My seniors beat me up and all they told me to do was to come with full gear.
You know when it's full gear. We fight. In the war.
What we're going to do is take a look at the midterm review I had during my training.
The participants will be me and Kaido.
And this time...
Well, it's an experimental space made by the Demon Lord's Army... a simulation dungeon.
It includes a different battle than last time, plus a check of Kaido's current abilities, but I won't tell you that.
"Oh, so it's a dungeon?
They were designed to use it against the heroes. You'll die if you're not careful.
"Huh?
Miss Suella, we're ready to go over here.
"Acknowledged. Running a false dungeon. Good luck.
What? Seniors die?
The space is distorted with the panicked Kaido as the others.
Then, in mere seconds, I look around at the landscape.
A rocky place.
'What? Hahhhhhhhh! This used to be a training room. There's the sky and there's the rocky mountains, yeah!
Shut up.
Ugh.
It's a rock and stone and gravel pile, and although humans can walk on it, the unsettled ground is not conducive to good footing.
Plus, it's just like the atmosphere of the dungeon.
The air that seems to cling to you as if magic and hostility were mixed together makes you more cautious and when you look around you see a moving shadow.
''Don't be fooled, Kaido! It's coming!
"Huh?
The environment has changed so much that Kaido hasn't been able to keep up with it.
Dungeons aren't sweet enough to let such a good-looking prey go unnoticed.
''Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Whether summoned by Kaido's shout or placed there from the beginning, a black scaled lizard with a body that was no different than an adult male's height if only its entire length leapt out from behind a rock, bisecting the small subterranean dragon up and down .
A heavy object falls and the sound of it sliding across the sand can be heard behind me.
I didn't look behind me, I couldn't waste time worrying about that.
''It's your first move and a dragon seed! Ready, Kaido!
UGH!
Last time it started out as a goblin, but this time it has been made stronger by changing its race.
The fact that they have suddenly raised the rank of the dragon species raises the alert level by skipping the stairs.
Then Kaido, who belatedly realized that this is the danger zone, draws his twin swords on his back.
''Follow me! We'll be down in numbers before we're surrounded!
I get it.
There's no time to pause.
I could hear the herd's footsteps already in motion for a siege.
The predator's gaze, which seemed to cling to me like a slime, confirmed it.
"Listen! Don't make a habit of it... I'll draw most of them to you. You need to stay close to me and protect yourself.
Ugh.
What? Don't worry, we're definitely not as strong as them.
This isn't good.
I can see right away that Kaido's body is tense and stiff. I can't give it my all with that one.
I'm moving like I'm flying by and I'm comfortable, but Kaido is running at full speed, not able to pace his strength.
I need to be more careful.
This is going to be a tough battle.
This is quite a challenge, Supervisor Evier.
Considering what we've gone through to get to this point, it's a reasonable response.
But the last sad smile on Superintendent's face is flitting about in my head.
"Presentation?
''Yes, I'd like to give them hands-on experience, like a work experience, rather than just a vague explanation of information.
The interview was scheduled for a day later, and while I was hurriedly preparing for the interview, I realized.
Even if you had magical aptitude, could a student who didn't know the ropes of combat really come for this job?
At first, they might be curious, but if they are not good at sports and this kind of violent behavior is repulsive to them, it's hard for me to teach them, and if they quit too soon, my time will be wasted on teaching them.
Hm, let's shake them up.
''Yes, even if you don't experience it in person, if you show them actual combat, I think it will be a good way to compare imagination and reality and measure aptitude other than magic power.''
"How do I get to ......?
"With the summoning of souls from my training days, I think it's only fair that I actually fight the demon. The fight will be between me and Kaido.
It's more common than you think. There's a difference between the ideal and the real.
It's a hassle if people think you're strong or that you can shoot magic all you want just because it's a fantasy.
Work is a process of compromise and occasionally mixing in your ideals.
A certain amount of discernment is necessary.
"...... will be fine, but it'll take a while to set up. I know there's a lot of time on your schedule, so I'll get you a replacement. And since you have a good lab to work with, Suela, I want you to get that guy who's about to run away.
In just a few moments of thought, he had counted his gains and losses, or perhaps he proposed a profitable path and still managed to cut off other routes.
''What? ...... Suela, if you can, please let go of this hand.
"I'm sorry, please forgive my helplessness.
The conversation with the Superintendent proceeded with no time to admire the dark elf's magical manipulation of my body, which held me firmly in place against his soft and slender hands.
"You'll just have to look forward to it.
In the end, the presentation went ahead under scrutiny.
But I hadn't expected to be prepared for something this good.
Suela had told me about it, but where was the tiled floor that was flat and easy to run on?
You can feel the sand stomping on your feet, and if you don't hold firm, your foot will slip.
'Kyaeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
They interrupted me while I was reminiscing and I was fighting.
I'm skittering around the rocks, distracting them with my yells and screaming, drawing them toward me.
Basically, I've been attacking first to reduce their numbers, but they're not always the first to attack, either.
You can kick up the small dragons that jump at you from behind, skewer them in the air, and then pull them out of the mineral tree as if to shake them off and hit the group.
Enough time, always standing around to catch Kaidou at the edge of his vision and swing the mineral tree .
It's light, as if the last time you struggled was a lie, and you're overwhelmed by a vast difference from when you were fighting with your wooden sword.
It's set at a level where Kaido can just about fight.
I'm not sure if that includes me or not, but there's no problem at the moment.
It's just a matter of time.
Kaido's still alive?
Yeah, I've been living it up.
There's going to be more variety soon!
If he slows down and exhausts his energy, the Demon King's army will be overrun by other races in a matter of hours.
You don't know what kind of increase there will be? Senior!
'There's no way the supervisors are going to tell me that!
The pretty lady? Then it can't be helped!
"You are such a b*tc*!
I'm going to crack Xiaolong with a bamboo chopper, revitalizing myself as I am disgusted with my junior colleague who is so sweet on beautiful women, whether she's a demon or not.
''What? Senior!
Wow, that's a tough one to escape from.
And while I'm idly playing with the lizards, the warm-up time seems to be over.
There's a group of kobolds mounted on wolves heading straight for us.
If you could, you would have had the time to calm your breathing, but you don't have the luxury of that.
"Riders with bows, horsemen with wolves. I guess he's not going to let us go.
You can run, you can track them by scent, you can shoot from out of time, and you can feel fed up with the configuration that leaves the vanguard to the little dragon.
"What is that?
They're goblin riders. Get ready to use your magic, you can't win by keeping them alive.
Oof.
Apparently, they've built up a force structure that includes my forces.
So this is a good place to start.
This is all new territory for me now, and with Kaido around, my ability to lead will be put to the test.
That's cool, worthwhile.
I'd love a job like that.
I'll go as far as I can.
No, sir.
Let's go Kaido, let's go win!
Go easy on him!
I want to see how far I can go.
As if to force my way through the Xiaolong, I will break through the encirclement and charge right in front of the riders.
''Kill the leader's momentum!
This is the first time in Japan! Fire Arrow!
Five arrows made of fire fly out from behind and I jump up to meet them.
In the midst of the dust from the impact, I swung down two cavalrymen who were trying to stop in a hurry and killed them with my return blade.
''Cutting in! Don't make me use my bow!
'Hyah! We're going to shoot them!
For a first time we worked together, it felt good to get the battle going.
My mouth smiles at the fact that we were able to take it from an assault to a melee.
"I don't feel like losing at all!
Another side
'It's amazing, that it is! It's a fantasy, that it is! Magic, that is!
Mimicry, mimicry! They're watching me!
Sorry to win, but I can't contain my excitement right now.
My heart has not stopped beating since I entered this building.
Like the sudden encounter with the dark elves, the scenery itself is modern, but the characters are all imaginary.
I wished such a thing existed, but I had given up hope that it would never exist, so I felt like I was snickered at.
It feels great, I feel like I've been shown the back of a man, saying "I'm here (fantasy).
As for how excited I was, when I saw the dark elf woman and realized she was real, I was so moved that my glands burst into tears, unable to put into words.
When it was only Katsu and I in the room, I forgot myself and jumped at Katsu who brought me this feeling.
''Hey! Get off me! This is not a house!'
"Thank you! I'm really glad that Katsu is my childhood friend, that I'm really glad! I'm going to kiss you in return, that I am!
When Masaru first brought that job ad, I was worried that he was tired from doing too much housework, but it didn't look like he was lying when he talked seriously about what happened on the way home from shopping.
I had said before that the job would be in a world like a video game, and it was hard to refuse, but the company arranged an interview, and I wrote a resume for the first time in my life.
I couldn't help but feel heavy on the way to the company.
I wanted to go home. I wished many times to go home.
But those blackened emotions, like Tono, were blown away by the dynamite.
Moreover, she couldn't stop when gasoline was poured on top of her.
"Mar-saruru
I think he has a very s*xy voice.
If it had stayed that way, it would have gone straight to R-rated.
That's how bad I was feeling.
Hey! Really stop! When people come!
vending machine toy
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you.
vending machine toy
Yeah, it's hard to tell if the timing was good or bad, but I can tell you that it really hit me that time.
I kept going over and over in my head that I had failed.
I kept storming off like a video comment that it was over.
I was so embarrassed that blood rushed to my head.
I think Mr. Tanaka is a really nice guy who somehow managed to re-take the interview.
If it were me, I would have just taken a picture and posted it on the web.
Maybe it's because she knows it's that bad.
I was in too much of a hurry to do this job, and I thought I would be pulled away from the fantasy I had hoped for, but I started to cry, and I couldn't give a good answer because I was desperately holding back tears.
No, remembering something else made me chill out.
And then my childhood friend, who understood that my excitement had subsided, also realized that the interview was over and let go of my shoulder.
But alas, the excitement hasn't subsided yet as she regained her composure for a moment.
I'll show you what fantasy is all about.
I was chilled and numbed by those words .
The person who made that declaration, the person who was in charge of the interview, Mr. Tanaka, is now wielding a great sword like you see in a game, blowing away small dragons and cutting goblins with wolves in front of me.
Just seeing such a scene made my body heat up.
When the scenery suddenly changed, I was disappointed for a moment to think it was CG, but as soon as I saw this world through the glass, I knew it was real.
There was a sense of mass, a sense of reality.
Then the drop was worth the gain.
My palms are sweaty and can't loosen from the all-out warfare that doesn't involve trickery.
And at the same time, you wonder why I'm not there, and at the same time you feel disappointed.
A feeling of frustration that I haven't felt in a long time.
I say to myself that reality is a f*cking game.
Reality is a godd*mn game.
Oh! Earthworm, that it is!
The spectacle which appeared from the ground in front of my eyes, wrapped in a hard crust, raising the dust, raises my expectation.
The worm that opens its mouth wide to swallow it up and attacks the earthworm without regard to the difference in body size, and someone who shoots out something like fire to cover it.
It's magic, that it is! It's magic, that it is!
Momentum is a scary thing.
I can't face-to-face conversation with a new person, but I'm talking to a dark elf woman.
"Yes, it's a primary spell, the Fire Arrow.
And this dark elf is either a goddess or has something in his smile that I, as a woman, find soothing.
'What do you think? What did it feel like to see the actual battle?
I can't wait to get there, that I can't wait to get there!
It's too aggressive, isn't it?
'Of course! If I have something latent in me, I'd like to awaken and break into that place right now, that is!
I don't care if I have heroic powers or if I was a demon king in a previous life or whatever.
I just want to go in there.
Is that dangerous?
There is no fantasy that isn't dangerous, that I know of!
Thumbs up, smile and make a pimply face .
Basic fantasy is fraught with danger.
Magical girls nowadays have their heads chomped off in some works, and it's common knowledge that when they think they're doing well, it turns into a war, rather than a story about a brave girl and a princess.
"Calm down, you idiot!
Whew!
I was too excited to react .
This precise slap to the brain was
Well, yeah.
It's your fault. We're here for a job interview.
You think you're preaching to me with your hands on your hips.
I know that, but excitement is hard to control.
"Chuckles, you're so close?
Well, I've known him for a while.
We've known each other since childhood, that we have.
I'm sorry to say this, but I thought childhood friends of the opposite s*x were two-dimensional creatures, but this is how they exist.
It's easy to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, so it's easy to hang out with each other without reservation like this.
It's a good thing, because I have a few friends who have known each other for a long time, but none of them are that close to me of the opposite s*x.
You do look popular, that you do?
Hey!
'No, it's okay. Dark elves are a bit of a unique clan, and their view of romance is not the norm.
As much as I'd like to hear how you didn't have that kind of opportunity, there's something else that bothers me more now.
Can you work, that I can?
......
''Sheng, even I, as expected, am hurt to be silently crying, that I am.
I can't help but be impressed by the fact that I can hear the words "work" coming out of your mouth, and I could see myself going straight down the NEET road when I graduate from college.
To be honest, I'm surprised by the change of heart too, but I don't think I'm going to cry about it.
Yeah, except for going to college and bathing, he's in his room with the internet, he leaves it all up to me to clean and do laundry and prepare meals, he wakes me up for college classes and buys supplies for me.
He even takes care of my sleeping habits from time to time.
...... I'm sorry Katsu, I might cry if I had a childhood friend of the opposite s*x who was like that and started telling me he'd work for me.
I might clench my fists and be moved.
You may also be happy that you've just expressed your desire to be hired, even if the results of the hiring process are not yet available.
...... sorry, that is.
'Okay, just because you said you'd hang in there, I'm ......'
I really don't know why this bad girl has a childhood friend like this.
If he had more time to take care of me, he would have been able to do all the things he wanted to do.
I'm confident that I can't live without her, so I hope she'll continue at least until next year.
If Katsu is gone, it's easy to imagine me living in a dumpster.
''......,''
While a fantasy scene was unfolding behind the window, a realistic future was passing between me and Katsu .
...... "Well, there's a vocational (class) aptitude test, would you like to take it?
By all means!
Yeah, we need to cherish the present more than the past!
In order to get rid of the damp air, I jumped on the tablet offered by the goddess.
Another side END
Sweat drips from my forehead.
I'm breathing hard, and my breathing is slurred.
I can't tell you how many times I've shaken it, and I can't feel my grip on the mineral tree.
Hey, Kaido, are you alive?
............, the demon of tyranny is ......
......
If I worried about him because he didn't answer, I'd be in a big pile, and I'd be breathing with no time to answer him, but I'd spill a word as if I were having a nightmare.
I understood the meaning of that exactly, and my face turned pale.
『Pseudo-dungeon release complete, battle is over. Have you enjoyed yourself, Jiro-san?
The landscape has returned to your training room and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Tension is something that puts a strain on many parts of your body.
You feel your muscles tense here and there, and you move your body to loosen them up a bit.
That last one was tough, wasn't it?
''Even so, it's impressive to beat the ogre.
That was a tough one.
It has already disappeared, but just a few minutes ago I saw a demon looking like a caveman with a cloak in his hand and a metal rod in front of me.
After a series of battles with the little dragon, goblin rider and earth bugs, Kaido's strength and magic power had run out, and I used my energy to supplement my meager strength to challenge the demon, whose body was over three meters in length.
Fortunately, it was evenly matched in strength and was easy to intercept with a forceful attack with no techniques.
If it was strong enough, it would have been an easy opponent to take down, but at the level Supervisor Evvia had in mind.
It ended in a narrow victory.
But his fearsomeness wasn't in his toughness or his ability to mince a human with a single blow.
Kaido and I have experienced it.
The world's worst tyranny.
But when a sinewy ogre performs it, it becomes a weapon of war against men.
The Ogre's outfit, with no sense of shame, wanted to scream at the top of his lungs to be well-equipped so that he could become stronger.
Who needs to be relieved to be blinded by the symbol of a man, afraid to show it to others?
It was a nightmarish battle with a damage ratio of three for physics and seven for mental damage.
It was a hard-fought battle. ...... It was a hard-fought victory. By the way, how did the two of them fare?
Due to their height difference, they're in a perfect eye position, and you're about to remember that one, so you just shake your head to get rid of them and change the subject.
"We're testing your aptitude for your profession (class) right now. You seemed generally realistic about the combat. You may still have a soft spot in your stomach, but it's a level we'll work around.
While lighting a cigarette after work, I asked them about their reactions to this battle, and they were unexpectedly good about it.
"It seems that Shiretoko-san had more background knowledge than I expected to have in order to adapt to our side, and she was able to understand the dangers as well.
How's the deep thinking going?
"No history of crime or dangerous thoughts... no reaction... a little on the skewed side, but it's all good.
Is your personality inclined?
It's a strange thing for Ms. Suella to say, but if it's all clear, as long as it's all clear, I'm fine with it.
That's good to hear. I'll be coming over later.
"I look forward to seeing you.
This interview is almost over.
We now have a good idea of Kaido's abilities.
At the very least, having Kaido here will make the dungeon less of a burden on me individually.
I know you'll have nightmares, but it's time to get up, and if you don't like it, you'd rather be dragged away by me?
...... I'm walking on my own.
Well, I can't just stand here and wait for you to find out.
Then put some guts into it, because you're about to meet your colleagues.
I'm fired up!
Seeing Kaido get up with a shakin' from a lazy getting up motion, I wonder where he's hiding such strength.
On top of that, the way he skips forward in the direction of the elevator makes me think that he could have completed the level at least one more level higher.
''Senpai, we're going quickly!
I know. You're a real cash cow, aren't you?
The door is opened in front of the elevator and the junior colleague who is waiting for you is urging you to get into the elevator.
You specify the floor and start to go up, but you swing a chop down at the back of Kaido's head, who looks restless and fidgety.
'Auchi!
Calm down.
Kaido is gradually establishing his position as a gag character, but even so, when he's serious, he becomes serious .
I'm not that worried about it, but it was taken care of because it didn't show any signs of settling down.
And then the elevator door opened.
''Nuggahhhhh, I can't decide, that I can't decide!
Shut up about it!
Za?
......, that is?
But then I saw a series of contrived scenes unfold and stopped in my tracks.
Then I see what Suera just said.
Certainly a deviant personality.
I've seen girls shouting unintelligible words in kendo before, but this is the first time I've seen a woman shouting in a language I don't understand.
Wow, she's quite a character.
I'd like to tell Kaido to stop talking to you, the prefect, as he gazes at Shiretoko from the side.
The slap that would have made a beautiful sound if Harrison had been there had caught Shiretoko's head, but it's hard to grasp the situation.
"Miss Suela, what's this all about?
Actually, I finished my vocational (class) aptitude, but it seems that my aptitude and the career she wanted to do didn't mesh. She's torn between taking her aptitude and her hobby.
Huh? Suitability? I didn't do it.
You decided to do it before you did.
The class aptitude test is a comforting way to find out what kind of job you're suited for by answering a few questions based on data from our first year students.
At least we're not asked to become a warrior because our aptitude is warrior.
But .
I haven't even told him he's going to pass.
Senior, are you trying to win them over?
I guess they've forgotten all about it.
They're just focused on what they want to do.
Well.
I wish they could see me like that.
"Win! Which one do you want me to choose, that I do! The gamer mentality says to focus on efficiency, and the fantasy brain says to follow your heart!
Calm down for now!
I'm sure there are some of us who would love to work with a slapstick duo like that.
Kaido, it's going to be a lively affair.
Whoosh!
Miss Suela, can we hire those two?
Okay, I'll have the paperwork ready.
The image of the party that is about to take shape at last, the future of Hinadori was made here and now.
I walked up to them with such a small sense of accomplishment in my heart.
Hey, what do you guys think of the fantasy?
One can't contain his excitement and the other is scratching his head at the sight of the other.
Contrasting, but balanced.
My interview ended with just one word, these two interviews.
It's great, that it is!
We're losing common sense.
I'll end with this one word.

Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, single, no girlfriend
Occupation Dungeon Tester (full-time) + Recruiter
Magic Aptitude 8 (General Class)
Officer of the Year: Warrior
Oh, sorry to bother you.
What the hell am I saying?
I scratching my head, feeling the suit I've grown accustomed to wearing so often lately.
I'm used to running that many scouts.
I remember that with the feel of hard hair in the palm of my hand.
If this is a dream, then you need to wake up and go out on the road or work a dungeon attack.
So just admit it.
Unfortunately, this isn't a dream... but the reality.
It wasn't because I was crazy or on bad medication, but because, yes, I was a little bit buoyed by the scout who was about to tie me up.
That's probably why.
I got as far as knocking, but I opened the door before I heard an answer from inside.
It wasn't a changing room, and it wasn't a private room, if I had an excuse.
What's more, it's certainly a room that would normally be used infrequently, but it's called a conference room.
So who's to say.
The other day, after I gave my business card and arranged for an interview, a high school boy was pushed down by a college-age woman in a woman's suit on the day I gave him my card and asked him if he wanted to work there.
Who could have foreseen that such a phenomenon would happen in the company he was working for? No, I couldn't.
Calmly reassess the situation.
The woman was in tears.
And I saw her push the boy down.
No other way to say it.
That's the end of the situation.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
So, don't get me wrong, I wasn't so much in the know as I was in the know.
I went in on the scene.
If I saw this from an outsider's perspective, I would have figured out the situation.
Maybe it's just a mistake.
Maybe it just happened that way.
Something happened.
But all I could do was just can't stand the air and leave the room.
Can you listen to ......?
Bottom line, there's nothing we can do about it .
What's sad is that I can't just step in and ask what you're doing in an affair between a man and a woman.
That's funny, I went into this interview with high hopes.
I remember it was about three days ago.
Around the evening, I was coming out of the dungeon when I received a telepathic message from Suera.
Jiro-san, there's a call for you. It's about the other day's scouting.
'Really? Miss Suella!
Yes, sir, I'll connect you now.
Suella telephoned me to go near the phone, and after the dungeon, I grabbed the extension from my room.
The first person I talked to was the boy I gave my card to.
I was a little nervous, but the conversation went smoothly with a mature boy who spoke respectfully, and I was able to tell him the date of the interview and that I had my resume ready.
I was even happier that day because he was even more fortunate that he wanted to have another interview with me.
I'll never forget to check whether the other person's magic aptitude was correct or not.
After confirming thoroughly, the other person could also read the job ad and had a high aptitude of seven.
I still remember my fist pose right after I hung up the phone.
I have two people coming for an interview. It's next Saturday at one o'clock in the afternoon, but can I ask the receptionist to help me?
Yes, no problem, I'll let her through. I'm happy for you, Jiro.
"Yes, you've finally got a fruit.
I talked to the company and it was just like that.
I remember being happy for them, along with Suela, who was happy for me.
I never had a job interview.
Still, I tried to do the best I could with the little time I had.
And today, even though you had plenty of energy and stamina on that day, you're as tired as the next morning's workday after working overtime after having only witnessed one moment of it.
My mind tells me to get angry, to pay attention, to listen to what's going on, but my emotions in the face of the scene made me choose to retreat.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
There's a difference between what you know and how you react on the job.
I was reminded of that.
And I can't resist the urge to take on another task (dungeon attack).
"Huh, okay, I didn't see anything.
But we can't go through with it.
If we run now, we'll miss our chance to bear fruit, and most importantly, it won't be good for either of us.
I'll knock three times.
And now we wait.
Your ears, strengthened by the magic crest, pick up the sloshing sound inside.
"Yes, please.
I'm nervous.
I can see that in your hand, and it makes me a little nervous, too, being influenced by the voice chamber.
I tell myself to calm down and slowly open the door slowly .
This time I'm relieved to see the two of them sitting tightly together.
But it's short-lived.
As a novice interviewer, I don't understand how they could be so nervous, but the woman is completely teary-eyed and nervous.
But why does the boy, Tokorozawa, look like a liberated monk and realize something?
...... Do you want a cup of coffee anyway?
It is difficult to enter the interview suddenly in such an atmosphere, and I sincerely hope that that magic trick will ease the tension between them as they nodded silently.
It's a good idea to have a good time to introduce yourself," he said, "I'm Tanaka Jiro, human. I'm sure you've read the job description, but the beings here, including the person who showed me around, are not special make-up, CG or robots, so I suggest you get used to it as soon as possible.
"Yes.
And, as you can see, it's a space where magic exists.
"Yes.
awkward, yeah, very awkward.
It's making me nervous when the only thing I get from the conversation is yes.
I want to say out loud that we should play more catch-up.
If it were a normal interview, I could have knocked them off with a single shot, but if I remember the time I interviewed, they still have a more sane reaction.
After all, it's a dark elf declaration at the opening.
It's just cute to stare at a cup of coffee like you're trying to pull a magic trick.
Well, there's nothing more memorable than that first encounter, but once you say it.
Snap!
This woman, Shiretoko Minami, looks like she's going to cry.
She overreacts to just making eye contact over a cup of coffee.
It's not going to happen.
For me personally, I'd like them to be in there.
It was a bit of a happening encounter, but I didn't get the impression from talking to Tokorozawa that he was a bad person.
She must not be a bad person if he's the one who brought her here.
But society is not so lenient as to hire people just because they aren't bad.
Our first priority is to make sure the job lasts and that they have the ability to communicate.
......
When I got there, I thought, "No.
I got the résumé.
Bikuris and the two of you react at the same time.
This isn't like other companies. The Japanese way of thinking doesn't apply outside here.
As Superintendent Evia said to me the other day, what's the fun in having casual relationships.
So yeah, I'm not looking for a blah blah blah colleague.
I'm looking for a colleague to have my back.
Hey, sorry to barge in on you guys.
Then I'll be the first to see it.
"?
I'll show you a job at this company and you can move on.
Surely it's not too late to start there.
The two of you are confused that I cut off the interview so abruptly.
I'm sorry, but it would have been better for the future if you'd shown them first.
Besides.
I'll show you what fantasy is all about.
Pranking is more fun than I thought.
On the other hand, I was standing in the training facility equipped with my normal work clothes.
"Senpai, why am I here in full gear? It's a holiday today, right?
There's a junior standing next to me who beat me up even though it's his day off.
''Oh? You said you wanted a female colleague, so I got you that colleague you've always wanted. Is that how you talk to your seniors?
'I love you, senpai! So, where is it? Who is that cutie!
No one has called it pretty or beautiful, but you're jumping to conclusions.
I'm going to reaffirm that he's a cash cow, and with Kaido looking around hurriedly at his side, I'm going to re-examine my own equipment.
''Senpai's not here!
Yeah, upstairs.
I resisted the urge to say that it was obvious that there was no one here who hadn't carved the Demon Gate, and pointed to the upper bleachers .
''Oh, you're a college student, is that your brother next to you?''
With the same magic crests and enhanced physical abilities, it may be impossible to get the details, but from about 20 meters away, it can at least capture an approximate appearance.
I heard that a top archer can find a toothpick on the horizon.
"Depending on the presentation, those two will be joining us on a part-time basis.
I didn't hear anything about the presentation. My seniors beat me up and all they told me to do was to come with full gear.
You know when it's full gear. We fight. In the war.
What we're going to do is take a look at the midterm review I had during my training.
The participants will be me and Kaido.
And this time...
Well, it's an experimental space made by the Demon Lord's Army... a simulation dungeon.
It includes a different battle than last time, plus a check of Kaido's current abilities, but I won't tell you that.
"Oh, so it's a dungeon?
They were designed to use it against the heroes. You'll die if you're not careful.
"Huh?
Miss Suella, we're ready to go over here.
"Acknowledged. Running a false dungeon. Good luck.
What? Seniors die?
The space is distorted with the panicked Kaido as the others.
Then, in mere seconds, I look around at the landscape.
A rocky place.
'What? Hahhhhhhhh! This used to be a training room. There's the sky and there's the rocky mountains, yeah!
Shut up.
Ugh.
It's a rock and stone and gravel pile, and although humans can walk on it, the unsettled ground is not conducive to good footing.
Plus, it's just like the atmosphere of the dungeon.
The air that seems to cling to you as if magic and hostility were mixed together makes you more cautious and when you look around you see a moving shadow.
''Don't be fooled, Kaido! It's coming!
"Huh?
The environment has changed so much that Kaido hasn't been able to keep up with it.
Dungeons aren't sweet enough to let such a good-looking prey go unnoticed.
''Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Whether summoned by Kaido's shout or placed there from the beginning, a black scaled lizard with a body that was no different than an adult male's height if only its entire length leapt out from behind a rock, bisecting the small subterranean dragon up and down .
A heavy object falls and the sound of it sliding across the sand can be heard behind me.
I didn't look behind me, I couldn't waste time worrying about that.
''It's your first move and a dragon seed! Ready, Kaido!
UGH!
Last time it started out as a goblin, but this time it has been made stronger by changing its race.
The fact that they have suddenly raised the rank of the dragon species raises the alert level by skipping the stairs.
Then Kaido, who belatedly realized that this is the danger zone, draws his twin swords on his back.
''Follow me! We'll be down in numbers before we're surrounded!
I get it.
There's no time to pause.
I could hear the herd's footsteps already in motion for a siege.
The predator's gaze, which seemed to cling to me like a slime, confirmed it.
"Listen! Don't make a habit of it... I'll draw most of them to you. You need to stay close to me and protect yourself.
Ugh.
What? Don't worry, we're definitely not as strong as them.
This isn't good.
I can see right away that Kaido's body is tense and stiff. I can't give it my all with that one.
I'm moving like I'm flying by and I'm comfortable, but Kaido is running at full speed, not able to pace his strength.
I need to be more careful.
This is going to be a tough battle.
This is quite a challenge, Supervisor Evier.
Considering what we've gone through to get to this point, it's a reasonable response.
But the last sad smile on Superintendent's face is flitting about in my head.
"Presentation?
''Yes, I'd like to give them hands-on experience, like a work experience, rather than just a vague explanation of information.
The interview was scheduled for a day later, and while I was hurriedly preparing for the interview, I realized.
Even if you had magical aptitude, could a student who didn't know the ropes of combat really come for this job?
At first, they might be curious, but if they are not good at sports and this kind of violent behavior is repulsive to them, it's hard for me to teach them, and if they quit too soon, my time will be wasted on teaching them.
Hm, let's shake them up.
''Yes, even if you don't experience it in person, if you show them actual combat, I think it will be a good way to compare imagination and reality and measure aptitude other than magic power.''
"How do I get to ......?
"With the summoning of souls from my training days, I think it's only fair that I actually fight the demon. The fight will be between me and Kaido.
It's more common than you think. There's a difference between the ideal and the real.
It's a hassle if people think you're strong or that you can shoot magic all you want just because it's a fantasy.
Work is a process of compromise and occasionally mixing in your ideals.
A certain amount of discernment is necessary.
"...... will be fine, but it'll take a while to set up. I know there's a lot of time on your schedule, so I'll get you a replacement. And since you have a good lab to work with, Suela, I want you to get that guy who's about to run away.
In just a few moments of thought, he had counted his gains and losses, or perhaps he proposed a profitable path and still managed to cut off other routes.
''What? ...... Suela, if you can, please let go of this hand.
"I'm sorry, please forgive my helplessness.
The conversation with the Superintendent proceeded with no time to admire the dark elf's magical manipulation of my body, which held me firmly in place against his soft and slender hands.
"You'll just have to look forward to it.
In the end, the presentation went ahead under scrutiny.
But I hadn't expected to be prepared for something this good.
Suela had told me about it, but where was the tiled floor that was flat and easy to run on?
You can feel the sand stomping on your feet, and if you don't hold firm, your foot will slip.
'Kyaeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
They interrupted me while I was reminiscing and I was fighting.
I'm skittering around the rocks, distracting them with my yells and screaming, drawing them toward me.
Basically, I've been attacking first to reduce their numbers, but they're not always the first to attack, either.
You can kick up the small dragons that jump at you from behind, skewer them in the air, and then pull them out of the mineral tree as if to shake them off and hit the group.
Enough time, always standing around to catch Kaidou at the edge of his vision and swing the mineral tree .
It's light, as if the last time you struggled was a lie, and you're overwhelmed by a vast difference from when you were fighting with your wooden sword.
It's set at a level where Kaido can just about fight.
I'm not sure if that includes me or not, but there's no problem at the moment.
It's just a matter of time.
Kaido's still alive?
Yeah, I've been living it up.
There's going to be more variety soon!
If he slows down and exhausts his energy, the Demon King's army will be overrun by other races in a matter of hours.
You don't know what kind of increase there will be? Senior!
'There's no way the supervisors are going to tell me that!
The pretty lady? Then it can't be helped!
"You are such a b*tc*!
I'm going to crack Xiaolong with a bamboo chopper, revitalizing myself as I am disgusted with my junior colleague who is so sweet on beautiful women, whether she's a demon or not.
''What? Senior!
Wow, that's a tough one to escape from.
And while I'm idly playing with the lizards, the warm-up time seems to be over.
There's a group of kobolds mounted on wolves heading straight for us.
If you could, you would have had the time to calm your breathing, but you don't have the luxury of that.
"Riders with bows, horsemen with wolves. I guess he's not going to let us go.
You can run, you can track them by scent, you can shoot from out of time, and you can feel fed up with the configuration that leaves the vanguard to the little dragon.
"What is that?
They're goblin riders. Get ready to use your magic, you can't win by keeping them alive.
Oof.
Apparently, they've built up a force structure that includes my forces.
So this is a good place to start.
This is all new territory for me now, and with Kaido around, my ability to lead will be put to the test.
That's cool, worthwhile.
I'd love a job like that.
I'll go as far as I can.
No, sir.
Let's go Kaido, let's go win!
Go easy on him!
I want to see how far I can go.
As if to force my way through the Xiaolong, I will break through the encirclement and charge right in front of the riders.
''Kill the leader's momentum!
This is the first time in Japan! Fire Arrow!
Five arrows made of fire fly out from behind and I jump up to meet them.
In the midst of the dust from the impact, I swung down two cavalrymen who were trying to stop in a hurry and killed them with my return blade.
''Cutting in! Don't make me use my bow!
'Hyah! We're going to shoot them!
For a first time we worked together, it felt good to get the battle going.
My mouth smiles at the fact that we were able to take it from an assault to a melee.
"I don't feel like losing at all!
Another side
'It's amazing, that it is! It's a fantasy, that it is! Magic, that is!
Mimicry, mimicry! They're watching me!
Sorry to win, but I can't contain my excitement right now.
My heart has not stopped beating since I entered this building.
Like the sudden encounter with the dark elves, the scenery itself is modern, but the characters are all imaginary.
I wished such a thing existed, but I had given up hope that it would never exist, so I felt like I was snickered at.
It feels great, I feel like I've been shown the back of a man, saying "I'm here (fantasy).
As for how excited I was, when I saw the dark elf woman and realized she was real, I was so moved that my glands burst into tears, unable to put into words.
When it was only Katsu and I in the room, I forgot myself and jumped at Katsu who brought me this feeling.
''Hey! Get off me! This is not a house!'
"Thank you! I'm really glad that Katsu is my childhood friend, that I'm really glad! I'm going to kiss you in return, that I am!
When Masaru first brought that job ad, I was worried that he was tired from doing too much housework, but it didn't look like he was lying when he talked seriously about what happened on the way home from shopping.
I had said before that the job would be in a world like a video game, and it was hard to refuse, but the company arranged an interview, and I wrote a resume for the first time in my life.
I couldn't help but feel heavy on the way to the company.
I wanted to go home. I wished many times to go home.
But those blackened emotions, like Tono, were blown away by the dynamite.
Moreover, she couldn't stop when gasoline was poured on top of her.
"Mar-saruru
I think he has a very s*xy voice.
If it had stayed that way, it would have gone straight to R-rated.
That's how bad I was feeling.
Hey! Really stop! When people come!
vending machine toy
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you.
vending machine toy
Yeah, it's hard to tell if the timing was good or bad, but I can tell you that it really hit me that time.
I kept going over and over in my head that I had failed.
I kept storming off like a video comment that it was over.
I was so embarrassed that blood rushed to my head.
I think Mr. Tanaka is a really nice guy who somehow managed to re-take the interview.
If it were me, I would have just taken a picture and posted it on the web.
Maybe it's because she knows it's that bad.
I was in too much of a hurry to do this job, and I thought I would be pulled away from the fantasy I had hoped for, but I started to cry, and I couldn't give a good answer because I was desperately holding back tears.
No, remembering something else made me chill out.
And then my childhood friend, who understood that my excitement had subsided, also realized that the interview was over and let go of my shoulder.
But alas, the excitement hasn't subsided yet as she regained her composure for a moment.
I'll show you what fantasy is all about.
I was chilled and numbed by those words .
The person who made that declaration, the person who was in charge of the interview, Mr. Tanaka, is now wielding a great sword like you see in a game, blowing away small dragons and cutting goblins with wolves in front of me.
Just seeing such a scene made my body heat up.
When the scenery suddenly changed, I was disappointed for a moment to think it was CG, but as soon as I saw this world through the glass, I knew it was real.
There was a sense of mass, a sense of reality.
Then the drop was worth the gain.
My palms are sweaty and can't loosen from the all-out warfare that doesn't involve trickery.
And at the same time, you wonder why I'm not there, and at the same time you feel disappointed.
A feeling of frustration that I haven't felt in a long time.
I say to myself that reality is a f*cking game.
Reality is a godd*mn game.
Oh! Earthworm, that it is!
The spectacle which appeared from the ground in front of my eyes, wrapped in a hard crust, raising the dust, raises my expectation.
The worm that opens its mouth wide to swallow it up and attacks the earthworm without regard to the difference in body size, and someone who shoots out something like fire to cover it.
It's magic, that it is! It's magic, that it is!
Momentum is a scary thing.
I can't face-to-face conversation with a new person, but I'm talking to a dark elf woman.
"Yes, it's a primary spell, the Fire Arrow.
And this dark elf is either a goddess or has something in his smile that I, as a woman, find soothing.
'What do you think? What did it feel like to see the actual battle?
I can't wait to get there, that I can't wait to get there!
It's too aggressive, isn't it?
'Of course! If I have something latent in me, I'd like to awaken and break into that place right now, that is!
I don't care if I have heroic powers or if I was a demon king in a previous life or whatever.
I just want to go in there.
Is that dangerous?
There is no fantasy that isn't dangerous, that I know of!
Thumbs up, smile and make a pimply face .
Basic fantasy is fraught with danger.
Magical girls nowadays have their heads chomped off in some works, and it's common knowledge that when they think they're doing well, it turns into a war, rather than a story about a brave girl and a princess.
"Calm down, you idiot!
Whew!
I was too excited to react .
This precise slap to the brain was
Well, yeah.
It's your fault. We're here for a job interview.
You think you're preaching to me with your hands on your hips.
I know that, but excitement is hard to control.
"Chuckles, you're so close?
Well, I've known him for a while.
We've known each other since childhood, that we have.
I'm sorry to say this, but I thought childhood friends of the opposite s*x were two-dimensional creatures, but this is how they exist.
It's easy to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, so it's easy to hang out with each other without reservation like this.
It's a good thing, because I have a few friends who have known each other for a long time, but none of them are that close to me of the opposite s*x.
You do look popular, that you do?
Hey!
'No, it's okay. Dark elves are a bit of a unique clan, and their view of romance is not the norm.
As much as I'd like to hear how you didn't have that kind of opportunity, there's something else that bothers me more now.
Can you work, that I can?
......
''Sheng, even I, as expected, am hurt to be silently crying, that I am.
I can't help but be impressed by the fact that I can hear the words "work" coming out of your mouth, and I could see myself going straight down the NEET road when I graduate from college.
To be honest, I'm surprised by the change of heart too, but I don't think I'm going to cry about it.
Yeah, except for going to college and bathing, he's in his room with the internet, he leaves it all up to me to clean and do laundry and prepare meals, he wakes me up for college classes and buys supplies for me.
He even takes care of my sleeping habits from time to time.
...... I'm sorry Katsu, I might cry if I had a childhood friend of the opposite s*x who was like that and started telling me he'd work for me.
I might clench my fists and be moved.
You may also be happy that you've just expressed your desire to be hired, even if the results of the hiring process are not yet available.
...... sorry, that is.
'Okay, just because you said you'd hang in there, I'm ......'
I really don't know why this bad girl has a childhood friend like this.
If he had more time to take care of me, he would have been able to do all the things he wanted to do.
I'm confident that I can't live without her, so I hope she'll continue at least until next year.
If Katsu is gone, it's easy to imagine me living in a dumpster.
''......,''
While a fantasy scene was unfolding behind the window, a realistic future was passing between me and Katsu .
...... "Well, there's a vocational (class) aptitude test, would you like to take it?
By all means!
Yeah, we need to cherish the present more than the past!
In order to get rid of the damp air, I jumped on the tablet offered by the goddess.
Another side END
Sweat drips from my forehead.
I'm breathing hard, and my breathing is slurred.
I can't tell you how many times I've shaken it, and I can't feel my grip on the mineral tree.
Hey, Kaido, are you alive?
............, the demon of tyranny is ......
......
If I worried about him because he didn't answer, I'd be in a big pile, and I'd be breathing with no time to answer him, but I'd spill a word as if I were having a nightmare.
I understood the meaning of that exactly, and my face turned pale.
『Pseudo-dungeon release complete, battle is over. Have you enjoyed yourself, Jiro-san?
The landscape has returned to your training room and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Tension is something that puts a strain on many parts of your body.
You feel your muscles tense here and there, and you move your body to loosen them up a bit.
That last one was tough, wasn't it?
''Even so, it's impressive to beat the ogre.
That was a tough one.
It has already disappeared, but just a few minutes ago I saw a demon looking like a caveman with a cloak in his hand and a metal rod in front of me.
After a series of battles with the little dragon, goblin rider and earth bugs, Kaido's strength and magic power had run out, and I used my energy to supplement my meager strength to challenge the demon, whose body was over three meters in length.
Fortunately, it was evenly matched in strength and was easy to intercept with a forceful attack with no techniques.
If it was strong enough, it would have been an easy opponent to take down, but at the level Supervisor Evvia had in mind.
It ended in a narrow victory.
But his fearsomeness wasn't in his toughness or his ability to mince a human with a single blow.
Kaido and I have experienced it.
The world's worst tyranny.
But when a sinewy ogre performs it, it becomes a weapon of war against men.
The Ogre's outfit, with no sense of shame, wanted to scream at the top of his lungs to be well-equipped so that he could become stronger.
Who needs to be relieved to be blinded by the symbol of a man, afraid to show it to others?
It was a nightmarish battle with a damage ratio of three for physics and seven for mental damage.
It was a hard-fought battle. ...... It was a hard-fought victory. By the way, how did the two of them fare?
Due to their height difference, they're in a perfect eye position, and you're about to remember that one, so you just shake your head to get rid of them and change the subject.
"We're testing your aptitude for your profession (class) right now. You seemed generally realistic about the combat. You may still have a soft spot in your stomach, but it's a level we'll work around.
While lighting a cigarette after work, I asked them about their reactions to this battle, and they were unexpectedly good about it.
"It seems that Shiretoko-san had more background knowledge than I expected to have in order to adapt to our side, and she was able to understand the dangers as well.
How's the deep thinking going?
"No history of crime or dangerous thoughts... no reaction... a little on the skewed side, but it's all good.
Is your personality inclined?
It's a strange thing for Ms. Suella to say, but if it's all clear, as long as it's all clear, I'm fine with it.
That's good to hear. I'll be coming over later.
"I look forward to seeing you.
This interview is almost over.
We now have a good idea of Kaido's abilities.
At the very least, having Kaido here will make the dungeon less of a burden on me individually.
I know you'll have nightmares, but it's time to get up, and if you don't like it, you'd rather be dragged away by me?
...... I'm walking on my own.
Well, I can't just stand here and wait for you to find out.
Then put some guts into it, because you're about to meet your colleagues.
I'm fired up!
Seeing Kaido get up with a shakin' from a lazy getting up motion, I wonder where he's hiding such strength.
On top of that, the way he skips forward in the direction of the elevator makes me think that he could have completed the level at least one more level higher.
''Senpai, we're going quickly!
I know. You're a real cash cow, aren't you?
The door is opened in front of the elevator and the junior colleague who is waiting for you is urging you to get into the elevator.
You specify the floor and start to go up, but you swing a chop down at the back of Kaido's head, who looks restless and fidgety.
'Auchi!
Calm down.
Kaido is gradually establishing his position as a gag character, but even so, when he's serious, he becomes serious .
I'm not that worried about it, but it was taken care of because it didn't show any signs of settling down.
And then the elevator door opened.
''Nuggahhhhh, I can't decide, that I can't decide!
Shut up about it!
Za?
......, that is?
But then I saw a series of contrived scenes unfold and stopped in my tracks.
Then I see what Suera just said.
Certainly a deviant personality.
I've seen girls shouting unintelligible words in kendo before, but this is the first time I've seen a woman shouting in a language I don't understand.
Wow, she's quite a character.
I'd like to tell Kaido to stop talking to you, the prefect, as he gazes at Shiretoko from the side.
The slap that would have made a beautiful sound if Harrison had been there had caught Shiretoko's head, but it's hard to grasp the situation.
"Miss Suela, what's this all about?
Actually, I finished my vocational (class) aptitude, but it seems that my aptitude and the career she wanted to do didn't mesh. She's torn between taking her aptitude and her hobby.
Huh? Suitability? I didn't do it.
You decided to do it before you did.
The class aptitude test is a comforting way to find out what kind of job you're suited for by answering a few questions based on data from our first year students.
At least we're not asked to become a warrior because our aptitude is warrior.
But .
I haven't even told him he's going to pass.
Senior, are you trying to win them over?
I guess they've forgotten all about it.
They're just focused on what they want to do.
Well.
I wish they could see me like that.
"Win! Which one do you want me to choose, that I do! The gamer mentality says to focus on efficiency, and the fantasy brain says to follow your heart!
Calm down for now!
I'm sure there are some of us who would love to work with a slapstick duo like that.
Kaido, it's going to be a lively affair.
Whoosh!
Miss Suela, can we hire those two?
Okay, I'll have the paperwork ready.
The image of the party that is about to take shape at last, the future of Hinadori was made here and now.
I walked up to them with such a small sense of accomplishment in my heart.
Hey, what do you guys think of the fantasy?
One can't contain his excitement and the other is scratching his head at the sight of the other.
Contrasting, but balanced.
My interview ended with just one word, these two interviews.
It's great, that it is!
We're losing common sense.
I'll end with this one word.

What was the most damaging part of today?
Oh, and the romantic comedy was damaged too, but ...... that's the best ...... tyranny.
Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, single, no girlfriendOccupation Dungeon Tester full-time + RecruiterMagic Aptitude 8 General ClassOfficer of the Year: WarriorOh, sorry to bother you.What the hell am I saying?I scratching my head, feeling the suit I've grown accustomed to wearing so often lately.I'm used to running that many scouts.I remember that with the feel of hard hair in the palm of my hand.If this is a dream, then you need to wake up and go out on the road or work a dungeon attack.So just admit it.Unfortunately, this isn't a dream... but the reality.It wasn't because I was crazy or on bad medication, but because, yes, I was a little bit buoyed by the scout who was about to tie me up.That's probably why.I got as far as knocking, but I opened the door before I heard an answer from inside.It wasn't a changing room, and it wasn't a private room, if I had an excuse.What's more, it's certainly a room that would normally be used infrequently, but it's called a conference room.So who's to say.The other day, after I gave my business card and arranged for an interview, a high school boy was pushed down by a college-age woman in a woman's suit on the day I gave him my card and asked him if he wanted to work there.Who could have foreseen that such a phenomenon would happen in the company he was working for? No, I couldn't.Calmly reassess the situation.The woman was in tears.And I saw her push the boy down.No other way to say it.That's the end of the situation.Oh, oh, oh, oh.So, don't get me wrong, I wasn't so much in the know as I was in the know.I went in on the scene.If I saw this from an outsider's perspective, I would have figured out the situation.Maybe it's just a mistake.Maybe it just happened that way.Something happened.But all I could do was just can't stand the air and leave the room.Can you listen to ......?Bottom line, there's nothing we can do about it .What's sad is that I can't just step in and ask what you're doing in an affair between a man and a woman.That's funny, I went into this interview with high hopes.I remember it was about three days ago.Around the evening, I was coming out of the dungeon when I received a telepathic message from Suera.Jiro-san, there's a call for you. It's about the other day's scouting.'Really?Miss Suella!Yes, sir, I'll connect you now.Suella telephoned me to go near the phone, and after the dungeon, I grabbed the extension from my room.The first person I talked to was the boy I gave my card to.I was a little nervous, but the conversation went smoothly with a mature boy who spoke respectfully, and I was able to tell him the date of the interview and that I had my resume ready.I was even happier that day because he was even more fortunate that he wanted to have another interview with me.I'll never forget to check whether the other person's magic aptitude was correct or not.After confirming thoroughly, the other person could also read the job ad and had a high aptitude of seven.I still remember my fist pose right after I hung up the phone.I have two people coming for an interview. It's next Saturday at one o'clock in the afternoon, but can I ask the receptionist to help me?Yes, no problem, I'll let her through. I'm happy for you, Jiro."Yes, you've finally got a fruit.I talked to the company and it was just like that.I remember being happy for them, along with Suela, who was happy for me.I never had a job interview.Still, I tried to do the best I could with the little time I had.And today, even though you had plenty of energy and stamina on that day, you're as tired as the next morning's workday after working overtime after having only witnessed one moment of it.My mind tells me to get angry, to pay attention, to listen to what's going on, but my emotions in the face of the scene made me choose to retreat.A picture is worth a thousand words.There's a difference between what you know and how you react on the job.I was reminded of that.And I can't resist the urge to take on another task dungeon attack."Huh, okay, I didn't see anything.But we can't go through with it.If we run now, we'll miss our chance to bear fruit, and most importantly, it won't be good for either of us.I'll knock three times.And now we wait.Your ears, strengthened by the magic crest, pick up the sloshing sound inside."Yes, please.I'm nervous.I can see that in your hand, and it makes me a little nervous, too, being influenced by the voice chamber.I tell myself to calm down and slowly open the door slowly .This time I'm relieved to see the two of them sitting tightly together.But it's short-lived.As a novice interviewer, I don't understand how they could be so nervous, but the woman is completely teary-eyed and nervous.But why does the boy, Tokorozawa, look like a liberated monk and realize something?...... Do you want a cup of coffee anyway?It is difficult to enter the interview suddenly in such an atmosphere, and I sincerely hope that that magic trick will ease the tension between them as they nodded silently.It's a good idea to have a good time to introduce yourself," he said, "I'm Tanaka Jiro, human. I'm sure you've read the job description, but the beings here, including the person who showed me around, are not special make-up, CG or robots, so I suggest you get used to it as soon as possible."Yes.And, as you can see, it's a space where magic exists."Yes.awkward, yeah, very awkward.It's making me nervous when the only thing I get from the conversation is yes.I want to say out loud that we should play more catch-up.If it were a normal interview, I could have knocked them off with a single shot, but if I remember the time I interviewed, they still have a more sane reaction.After all, it's a dark elf declaration at the opening.It's just cute to stare at a cup of coffee like you're trying to pull a magic trick.Well, there's nothing more memorable than that first encounter, but once you say it.Snap!This woman, Shiretoko Minami, looks like she's going to cry.She overreacts to just making eye contact over a cup of coffee.It's not going to happen.For me personally, I'd like them to be in there.It was a bit of a happening encounter, but I didn't get the impression from talking to Tokorozawa that he was a bad person.She must not be a bad person if he's the one who brought her here.But society is not so lenient as to hire people just because they aren't bad.Our first priority is to make sure the job lasts and that they have the ability to communicate.......When I got there, I thought, "No.I got the rsum.Bikuris and the two of you react at the same time.This isn't like other companies. The Japanese way of thinking doesn't apply outside here.As Superintendent Evia said to me the other day, what's the fun in having casual relationships.So yeah, I'm not looking for a blah blah blah colleague.I'm looking for a colleague to have my back.Hey, sorry to barge in on you guys.Then I'll be the first to see it."?I'll show you a job at this company and you can move on.Surely it's not too late to start there.The two of you are confused that I cut off the interview so abruptly.I'm sorry, but it would have been better for the future if you'd shown them first.Besides.I'll show you what fantasy is all about.Pranking is more fun than I thought.On the other hand, I was standing in the training facility equipped with my normal work clothes."Senpai, why am I here in full gear?It's a holiday today, right?There's a junior standing next to me who beat me up even though it's his day off.''Oh?You said you wanted a female colleague, so I got you that colleague you've always wanted. Is that how you talk to your seniors?'I love you, senpai!So, where is it?Who is that cutie!No one has called it pretty or beautiful, but you're jumping to conclusions.I'm going to reaffirm that he's a cash cow, and with Kaido looking around hurriedly at his side, I'm going to re-examine my own equipment.''Senpai's not here!Yeah, upstairs.I resisted the urge to say that it was obvious that there was no one here who hadn't carved the Demon Gate, and pointed to the upper bleachers .''Oh, you're a college student, is that your brother next to you?''With the same magic crests and enhanced physical abilities, it may be impossible to get the details, but from about 20 meters away, it can at least capture an approximate appearance.I heard that a top archer can find a toothpick on the horizon."Depending on the presentation, those two will be joining us on a part-time basis.I didn't hear anything about the presentation.My seniors beat me up and all they told me to do was to come with full gear.You know when it's full gear. We fight. In the war.What we're going to do is take a look at the midterm review I had during my training.The participants will be me and Kaido.And this time...Well, it's an experimental space made by the Demon Lord's Army... a simulation dungeon.It includes a different battle than last time, plus a check of Kaido's current abilities, but I won't tell you that."Oh, so it's a dungeon?They were designed to use it against the heroes. You'll die if you're not careful."Huh?Miss Suella, we're ready to go over here."Acknowledged. Running a false dungeon. Good luck.What?Seniors die?The space is distorted with the panicked Kaido as the others.Then, in mere seconds, I look around at the landscape.A rocky place.'What?Hahhhhhhhh!This used to be a training room.There's the sky and there's the rocky mountains, yeah!Shut up.Ugh.It's a rock and stone and gravel pile, and although humans can walk on it, the unsettled ground is not conducive to good footing.Plus, it's just like the atmosphere of the dungeon.The air that seems to cling to you as if magic and hostility were mixed together makes you more cautious and when you look around you see a moving shadow.''Don't be fooled, Kaido!It's coming!"Huh?The environment has changed so much that Kaido hasn't been able to keep up with it.Dungeons aren't sweet enough to let such a good-looking prey go unnoticed.''Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!Whether summoned by Kaido's shout or placed there from the beginning, a black scaled lizard with a body that was no different than an adult male's height if only its entire length leapt out from behind a rock, bisecting the small subterranean dragon up and down .A heavy object falls and the sound of it sliding across the sand can be heard behind me.I didn't look behind me, I couldn't waste time worrying about that.''It's your first move and a dragon seed!Ready, Kaido!UGH!Last time it started out as a goblin, but this time it has been made stronger by changing its race.The fact that they have suddenly raised the rank of the dragon species raises the alert level by skipping the stairs.Then Kaido, who belatedly realized that this is the danger zone, draws his twin swords on his back.''Follow me!We'll be down in numbers before we're surrounded!I get it.There's no time to pause.I could hear the herd's footsteps already in motion for a siege.The predator's gaze, which seemed to cling to me like a slime, confirmed it."Listen!Don't make a habit of it... I'll draw most of them to you. You need to stay close to me and protect yourself.Ugh.What? Don't worry, we're definitely not as strong as them.This isn't good.I can see right away that Kaido's body is tense and stiff. I can't give it my all with that one.I'm moving like I'm flying by and I'm comfortable, but Kaido is running at full speed, not able to pace his strength.I need to be more careful.This is going to be a tough battle.This is quite a challenge, Supervisor Evier.Considering what we've gone through to get to this point, it's a reasonable response.But the last sad smile on Superintendent's face is flitting about in my head."Presentation?''Yes, I'd like to give them hands-on experience, like a work experience, rather than just a vague explanation of information.The interview was scheduled for a day later, and while I was hurriedly preparing for the interview, I realized.Even if you had magical aptitude, could a student who didn't know the ropes of combat really come for this job?At first, they might be curious, but if they are not good at sports and this kind of violent behavior is repulsive to them, it's hard for me to teach them, and if they quit too soon, my time will be wasted on teaching them.Hm, let's shake them up.''Yes, even if you don't experience it in person, if you show them actual combat, I think it will be a good way to compare imagination and reality and measure aptitude other than magic power.''"How do I get to ......?"With the summoning of souls from my training days, I think it's only fair that I actually fight the demon. The fight will be between me and Kaido.It's more common than you think. There's a difference between the ideal and the real.It's a hassle if people think you're strong or that you can shoot magic all you want just because it's a fantasy.Work is a process of compromise and occasionally mixing in your ideals.A certain amount of discernment is necessary."...... will be fine, but it'll take a while to set up. I know there's a lot of time on your schedule, so I'll get you a replacement. And since you have a good lab to work with, Suela, I want you to get that guy who's about to run away.In just a few moments of thought, he had counted his gains and losses, or perhaps he proposed a profitable path and still managed to cut off other routes.''What?...... Suela, if you can, please let go of this hand."I'm sorry, please forgive my helplessness.The conversation with the Superintendent proceeded with no time to admire the dark elf's magical manipulation of my body, which held me firmly in place against his soft and slender hands."You'll just have to look forward to it.In the end, the presentation went ahead under scrutiny.But I hadn't expected to be prepared for something this good.Suela had told me about it, but where was the tiled floor that was flat and easy to run on?You can feel the sand stomping on your feet, and if you don't hold firm, your foot will slip.'Kyaeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!They interrupted me while I was reminiscing and I was fighting.I'm skittering around the rocks, distracting them with my yells and screaming, drawing them toward me.Basically, I've been attacking first to reduce their numbers, but they're not always the first to attack, either.You can kick up the small dragons that jump at you from behind, skewer them in the air, and then pull them out of the mineral tree as if to shake them off and hit the group.Enough time, always standing around to catch Kaidou at the edge of his vision and swing the mineral tree .It's light, as if the last time you struggled was a lie, and you're overwhelmed by a vast difference from when you were fighting with your wooden sword.It's set at a level where Kaido can just about fight.I'm not sure if that includes me or not, but there's no problem at the moment.It's just a matter of time.Kaido's still alive?Yeah, I've been living it up.There's going to be more variety soon!If he slows down and exhausts his energy, the Demon King's army will be overrun by other races in a matter of hours.You don't know what kind of increase there will be?Senior!'There's no way the supervisors are going to tell me that!The pretty lady?Then it can't be helped!"You are such a b*tc*!I'm going to crack Xiaolong with a bamboo chopper, revitalizing myself as I am disgusted with my junior colleague who is so sweet on beautiful women, whether she's a demon or not.''What?Senior!Wow, that's a tough one to escape from.And while I'm idly playing with the lizards, the warm-up time seems to be over.There's a group of kobolds mounted on wolves heading straight for us.If you could, you would have had the time to calm your breathing, but you don't have the luxury of that."Riders with bows, horsemen with wolves. I guess he's not going to let us go.You can run, you can track them by scent, you can shoot from out of time, and you can feel fed up with the configuration that leaves the vanguard to the little dragon."What is that?They're goblin riders. Get ready to use your magic, you can't win by keeping them alive.Oof.Apparently, they've built up a force structure that includes my forces.So this is a good place to start.This is all new territory for me now, and with Kaido around, my ability to lead will be put to the test.That's cool, worthwhile.I'd love a job like that.I'll go as far as I can.No, sir.Let's go Kaido, let's go win!Go easy on him!I want to see how far I can go.As if to force my way through the Xiaolong, I will break through the encirclement and charge right in front of the riders.''Kill the leader's momentum!This is the first time in Japan!Fire Arrow!Five arrows made of fire fly out from behind and I jump up to meet them.In the midst of the dust from the impact, I swung down two cavalrymen who were trying to stop in a hurry and killed them with my return blade.''Cutting in!Don't make me use my bow!'Hyah!We're going to shoot them!For a first time we worked together, it felt good to get the battle going.My mouth smiles at the fact that we were able to take it from an assault to a melee."I don't feel like losing at all!Another side'It's amazing, that it is!It's a fantasy, that it is!Magic, that is!Mimicry, mimicry!They're watching me!Sorry to win, but I can't contain my excitement right now.My heart has not stopped beating since I entered this building.Like the sudden encounter with the dark elves, the scenery itself is modern, but the characters are all imaginary.I wished such a thing existed, but I had given up hope that it would never exist, so I felt like I was snickered at.It feels great, I feel like I've been shown the back of a man, saying "I'm here fantasy.As for how excited I was, when I saw the dark elf woman and realized she was real, I was so moved that my glands burst into tears, unable to put into words.When it was only Katsu and I in the room, I forgot myself and jumped at Katsu who brought me this feeling.''Hey!Get off me!This is not a house!'"Thank you!I'm really glad that Katsu is my childhood friend, that I'm really glad!I'm going to kiss you in return, that I am!When Masaru first brought that job ad, I was worried that he was tired from doing too much housework, but it didn't look like he was lying when he talked seriously about what happened on the way home from shopping.I had said before that the job would be in a world like a video game, and it was hard to refuse, but the company arranged an interview, and I wrote a resume for the first time in my life.I couldn't help but feel heavy on the way to the company.I wanted to go home. I wished many times to go home.But those blackened emotions, like Tono, were blown away by the dynamite.Moreover, she couldn't stop when gasoline was poured on top of her."Mar-saruruI think he has a very s*xy voice.If it had stayed that way, it would have gone straight to R-rated.That's how bad I was feeling.Hey!Really stop!When people come!vending machine toy"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you.vending machine toyYeah, it's hard to tell if the timing was good or bad, but I can tell you that it really hit me that time.I kept going over and over in my head that I had failed.I kept storming off like a video comment that it was over.I was so embarrassed that blood rushed to my head.I think Mr. Tanaka is a really nice guy who somehow managed to re-take the interview.If it were me, I would have just taken a picture and posted it on the web.Maybe it's because she knows it's that bad.I was in too much of a hurry to do this job, and I thought I would be pulled away from the fantasy I had hoped for, but I started to cry, and I couldn't give a good answer because I was desperately holding back tears.No, remembering something else made me chill out.And then my childhood friend, who understood that my excitement had subsided, also realized that the interview was over and let go of my shoulder.But alas, the excitement hasn't subsided yet as she regained her composure for a moment.I'll show you what fantasy is all about.I was chilled and numbed by those words .The person who made that declaration, the person who was in charge of the interview, Mr. Tanaka, is now wielding a great sword like you see in a game, blowing away small dragons and cutting goblins with wolves in front of me.Just seeing such a scene made my body heat up.When the scenery suddenly changed, I was disappointed for a moment to think it was CG, but as soon as I saw this world through the glass, I knew it was real.There was a sense of mass, a sense of reality.Then the drop was worth the gain.My palms are sweaty and can't loosen from the all-out warfare that doesn't involve trickery.And at the same time, you wonder why I'm not there, and at the same time you feel disappointed.A feeling of frustration that I haven't felt in a long time.I say to myself that reality is a f*cking game.Reality is a godd*mn game.Oh!Earthworm, that it is!The spectacle which appeared from the ground in front of my eyes, wrapped in a hard crust, raising the dust, raises my expectation.The worm that opens its mouth wide to swallow it up and attacks the earthworm without regard to the difference in body size, and someone who shoots out something like fire to cover it.It's magic, that it is!It's magic, that it is!Momentum is a scary thing.I can't face-to-face conversation with a new person, but I'm talking to a dark elf woman."Yes, it's a primary spell, the Fire Arrow.And this dark elf is either a goddess or has something in his smile that I, as a woman, find soothing.'What do you think?What did it feel like to see the actual battle?I can't wait to get there, that I can't wait to get there!It's too aggressive, isn't it?'Of course!If I have something latent in me, I'd like to awaken and break into that place right now, that is!I don't care if I have heroic powers or if I was a demon king in a previous life or whatever.I just want to go in there.Is that dangerous?There is no fantasy that isn't dangerous, that I know of!Thumbs up, smile and make a pimply face .Basic fantasy is fraught with danger.Magical girls nowadays have their heads chomped off in some works, and it's common knowledge that when they think they're doing well, it turns into a war, rather than a story about a brave girl and a princess."Calm down, you idiot!Whew!I was too excited to react .This precise slap to the brain wasWell, yeah.It's your fault. We're here for a job interview.You think you're preaching to me with your hands on your hips.I know that, but excitement is hard to control."Chuckles, you're so close?Well, I've known him for a while.We've known each other since childhood, that we have.I'm sorry to say this, but I thought childhood friends of the opposite s*x were two-dimensional creatures, but this is how they exist.It's easy to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, so it's easy to hang out with each other without reservation like this.It's a good thing, because I have a few friends who have known each other for a long time, but none of them are that close to me of the opposite s*x.You do look popular, that you do?Hey!'No, it's okay. Dark elves are a bit of a unique clan, and their view of romance is not the norm.As much as I'd like to hear how you didn't have that kind of opportunity, there's something else that bothers me more now.Can you work, that I can?......''Sheng, even I, as expected, am hurt to be silently crying, that I am.I can't help but be impressed by the fact that I can hear the words "work" coming out of your mouth, and I could see myself going straight down the NEET road when I graduate from college.To be honest, I'm surprised by the change of heart too, but I don't think I'm going to cry about it.Yeah, except for going to college and bathing, he's in his room with the internet, he leaves it all up to me to clean and do laundry and prepare meals, he wakes me up for college classes and buys supplies for me.He even takes care of my sleeping habits from time to time....... I'm sorry Katsu, I might cry if I had a childhood friend of the opposite s*x who was like that and started telling me he'd work for me.I might clench my fists and be moved.You may also be happy that you've just expressed your desire to be hired, even if the results of the hiring process are not yet available....... sorry, that is.'Okay, just because you said you'd hang in there, I'm ......'I really don't know why this bad girl has a childhood friend like this.If he had more time to take care of me, he would have been able to do all the things he wanted to do.I'm confident that I can't live without her, so I hope she'll continue at least until next year.If Katsu is gone, it's easy to imagine me living in a dumpster.''......,''While a fantasy scene was unfolding behind the window, a realistic future was passing between me and Katsu ....... "Well, there's a vocational class aptitude test, would you like to take it?By all means!Yeah, we need to cherish the present more than the past!In order to get rid of the damp air, I jumped on the tablet offered by the goddess.Another side ENDSweat drips from my forehead.I'm breathing hard, and my breathing is slurred.I can't tell you how many times I've shaken it, and I can't feel my grip on the mineral tree.Hey, Kaido, are you alive?............, the demon of tyranny is ............If I worried about him because he didn't answer, I'd be in a big pile, and I'd be breathing with no time to answer him, but I'd spill a word as if I were having a nightmare.I understood the meaning of that exactly, and my face turned pale.Pseudo-dungeon release complete, battle is over. Have you enjoyed yourself, Jiro-san?The landscape has returned to your training room and you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.Tension is something that puts a strain on many parts of your body.You feel your muscles tense here and there, and you move your body to loosen them up a bit.That last one was tough, wasn't it?''Even so, it's impressive to beat the ogre.That was a tough one.It has already disappeared, but just a few minutes ago I saw a demon looking like a caveman with a cloak in his hand and a metal rod in front of me.After a series of battles with the little dragon, goblin rider and earth bugs, Kaido's strength and magic power had run out, and I used my energy to supplement my meager strength to challenge the demon, whose body was over three meters in length.Fortunately, it was evenly matched in strength and was easy to intercept with a forceful attack with no techniques.If it was strong enough, it would have been an easy opponent to take down, but at the level Supervisor Evvia had in mind.It ended in a narrow victory.But his fearsomeness wasn't in his toughness or his ability to mince a human with a single blow.Kaido and I have experienced it.The world's worst tyranny.But when a sinewy ogre performs it, it becomes a weapon of war against men.The Ogre's outfit, with no sense of shame, wanted to scream at the top of his lungs to be well-equipped so that he could become stronger.Who needs to be relieved to be blinded by the symbol of a man, afraid to show it to others?It was a nightmarish battle with a damage ratio of three for physics and seven for mental damage.It was a hard-fought battle. ...... It was a hard-fought victory. By the way, how did the two of them fare?Due to their height difference, they're in a perfect eye position, and you're about to remember that one, so you just shake your head to get rid of them and change the subject."We're testing your aptitude for your profession class right now. You seemed generally realistic about the combat. You may still have a soft spot in your stomach, but it's a level we'll work around.While lighting a cigarette after work, I asked them about their reactions to this battle, and they were unexpectedly good about it."It seems that Shiretoko-san had more background knowledge than I expected to have in order to adapt to our side, and she was able to understand the dangers as well.How's the deep thinking going?"No history of crime or dangerous thoughts... no reaction... a little on the skewed side, but it's all good.Is your personality inclined?It's a strange thing for Ms. Suella to say, but if it's all clear, as long as it's all clear, I'm fine with it.That's good to hear. I'll be coming over later."I look forward to seeing you.This interview is almost over.We now have a good idea of Kaido's abilities.At the very least, having Kaido here will make the dungeon less of a burden on me individually.I know you'll have nightmares, but it's time to get up, and if you don't like it, you'd rather be dragged away by me?...... I'm walking on my own.Well, I can't just stand here and wait for you to find out.Then put some guts into it, because you're about to meet your colleagues.I'm fired up!Seeing Kaido get up with a shakin' from a lazy getting up motion, I wonder where he's hiding such strength.On top of that, the way he skips forward in the direction of the elevator makes me think that he could have completed the level at least one more level higher.''Senpai, we're going quickly!I know. You're a real cash cow, aren't you?The door is opened in front of the elevator and the junior colleague who is waiting for you is urging you to get into the elevator.You specify the floor and start to go up, but you swing a chop down at the back of Kaido's head, who looks restless and fidgety.'Auchi!Calm down.Kaido is gradually establishing his position as a gag character, but even so, when he's serious, he becomes serious .I'm not that worried about it, but it was taken care of because it didn't show any signs of settling down.And then the elevator door opened.''Nuggahhhhh, I can't decide, that I can't decide!Shut up about it!Za?......, that is?But then I saw a series of contrived scenes unfold and stopped in my tracks.Then I see what Suera just said.Certainly a deviant personality.I've seen girls shouting unintelligible words in kendo before, but this is the first time I've seen a woman shouting in a language I don't understand.Wow, she's quite a character.I'd like to tell Kaido to stop talking to you, the prefect, as he gazes at Shiretoko from the side.The slap that would have made a beautiful sound if Harrison had been there had caught Shiretoko's head, but it's hard to grasp the situation."Miss Suela, what's this all about?Actually, I finished my vocational class aptitude, but it seems that my aptitude and the career she wanted to do didn't mesh. She's torn between taking her aptitude and her hobby.Huh?Suitability?I didn't do it.You decided to do it before you did.The class aptitude test is a comforting way to find out what kind of job you're suited for by answering a few questions based on data from our first year students.At least we're not asked to become a warrior because our aptitude is warrior.But .I haven't even told him he's going to pass.Senior, are you trying to win them over?I guess they've forgotten all about it.They're just focused on what they want to do.Well.I wish they could see me like that."Win!Which one do you want me to choose, that I do!The gamer mentality says to focus on efficiency, and the fantasy brain says to follow your heart!Calm down for now!I'm sure there are some of us who would love to work with a slapstick duo like that.Kaido, it's going to be a lively affair.Whoosh!Miss Suela, can we hire those two?Okay, I'll have the paperwork ready.The image of the party that is about to take shape at last, the future of Hinadori was made here and now.I walked up to them with such a small sense of accomplishment in my heart.Hey, what do you guys think of the fantasy?One can't contain his excitement and the other is scratching his head at the sight of the other.Contrasting, but balanced.My interview ended with just one word, these two interviews.It's great, that it is!We're losing common sense.I'll end with this one word.Tanaka Jiro, Twenty-eight years old, single, no girlfriend.Occupation Dungeon Tester full-time + Recruiter ScoutMagic Aptitude 8 General ClassOfficer of the Year: WarriorstatusForce 284 Force 355Endurance 302 Endurance 396Agility 142 Agility 187Endurance 199 -5 - Endurance 238 -5Instrumental 188 Instrumental 222Knowledge 45 Knowledge 50Intuition 36 Intuition 51Luck 5 - Luck 5Magic power 157 Magic power 207statenicotine addictionlung pollutionWord of the Day.What was the most damaging part of today?Oh, and the romantic comedy was damaged too, but ...... that's the best ...... tyranny.
