This feeling of exhaustion and freedom at the end of the workday, which is indescribably tired but not tired, may vary from person to person, but for me, it's a pleasant feeling these days.
Goodnight, I'm coming up.
"Ooooh, good job.
Good job.
With that in mind, today's work is over.
This is the end of today's dungeon attack, as we have defeated the boss, which is a good break in terms of work, and the time is just right.
We've decided that it's time to dismiss the game, so we'll leave the loot purchase for tomorrow.
Then it's time for each of us to go about our business.
After the dungeon attack was over and my plans for the day were over, I quickly showered, changed into my civilian clothes and left the party room in a hurry.
Hearing Kaido and Katsu's voices at my back, I continue on my way with a light step.
While exchanging greetings with your co-workers, you're headed home, but in the direction of the underground facilities.
It's already in the evening, and at this time of day, Himiku would be preparing dinner.
But this time I told Suela and the others that I had some business to attend to, so no dinner is needed.
"Thank you for your patience.
"Oh, you're late!
"Kaka Kaka, it's unusual to receive an invitation from the Lord.
The two instructors, who are usually abducted or involved in a banquet, are now familiar faces.
The two instructors, who are usually abducted or caught up in a banquet to drink with, are no longer familiar faces.
However, I did not plan to run into them on the side of the road.
I thought I had told them the name of the store, but they were standing proudly in front of the entrance of the underground facility, not at the store, attracting attention.
Well, I was prepared for a bit of a commotion when these two were present.
So, without getting flustered, I just exchanged a normal greeting and led the way, and entered with them into a private room in a tavern located in a slightly elevated area of the underground facility.
Puh-uh! Yum!
"You can't tell me anything else?
"Yummy! That's it!
Instructor Kio doesn't even have time to hear the word "toast" as he calls for a drink as soon as he arrives at the store and empties it before you know it.
He's an ogre, a drink on the run.
You'll be able to taste the wine in your glass as you would in any other situation.
The gesture is elegant despite the fact that we are in a tavern.
The two of them order their drinks and the waitresses who come to take their orders look scared and giggle while I sip my beer that I ordered.
"And then? I heard you wanted to talk to us about something, what is it?
"It is very interesting that you call us without telling us what it is.
I rushed over and drank not one, but two or three glasses of wine, and when I was finally thirsty, Instructor Kio asked me what I wanted to talk to them about.
In fact, as Instructor Fusio said, I had told him I had something I wanted to discuss with him beforehand, but I hadn't told him the details.
I'm sure they have a pretty good idea of what I want to discuss with them at this point in time, but I'm going to tell them again what I want to discuss.
"About this competition.
"Oh?
"Ho
When I put down my coton and mug and told them what I had to do, they didn't stop drinking to say they were interested, but they were urging me on with their eyes.
We're going to do it, and we're going to win.
Of course.
"Yes
I'm not going to make any weak statements in front of these two men.
I'm going to tell them what I want to achieve from the bottom of my heart, but I'm also going to tell them what I'm feeling insecure about.
And then? You didn't call us to declare such an obvious thing.
"It's obvious that you have no intention of losing your mind, and I don't need to reiterate that.
To be honest, it's helpful to set the stage for that anxiety to come out.
Yes, it's more sane to say, "I feel like having a drink, let's have a drink," than to sit down to talk about it now.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
I'm not sure if I'm being delusional in my abilities, but if I were to win the championship and receive the general's title, I'm wondering what kind of general I should become later .......
"Oh, if I get it, well, there's no chance of that happening.
Kakaka, that's right. The word absolute does not exist in this world. You're with us if you can grasp that possibility. That's a strange fate. And no wonder you value the generalship.
From the point of view of the two of them, the probability is less than theoretical.
I am aware that we are talking about the raccoon dog's cunning, but the two of them are laughing, but they are not stupid, and have listened to me very carefully.
This competition is a battle for the rank of general.
By some fate, I was entered into the competition.
At first I was upset, then confused, and finally I was able to take a chance.
But with the rise in status comes responsibility.
Can I bear that responsibility, or can I be the right person for the position?
I think I have risen too early in my career, and the responsibility of being a general is not clear to me. So I would like to hear the story of what happened to the instructors when they became generals, just for your information.
"When we became generals?
"Haha, they love to hear about the good old days.
I never thought that I would become such a thing, so I came to ask the current general in front of me what a general is in order to embody my ideals.
I'm sure the two of them know exactly what I'm feeling.
The point is I'm worried.
I'm not sure I can bear the weight of the responsibility that might be placed on my back.
I wanted to ask if I had the strength to do that.
All I could think about was winning, and then after I won, thoughts that weren't necessary at this point in my life mixed in.
It's outrageous to think about what will happen after you win even before you win.
But that didn't mean I could throw these thoughts away.
Winning this battle means becoming a leader in the demon king's army, and the responsibility of that seat is probably more serious than I thought.
"Hmmm, I'll be the general. I felt like a general when I found out I'd killed the general and became a general.
What?
"Kaka-kaka, Jiro. I don't know if my story will be of any help to you. After all, I'm just like him.
If you know what kind of general you want to be, then you will know the direction to strive in once your goal is set.
I thought it would at least motivate me mentally if I could get a chance to do so, so I prepared for this drink, but from the very beginning, I was not just stunned, I was blown off my feet.
"The current general used to be a small faction. I mean, he was a candidate for the Demon King, but they said his chances of becoming one were slim to none.
"That's how I felt when he asked me to be his subordinate," he said, "and I can still remember how pleasant it was to be his subordinate.
The pint-sized peach of peaches is a great way to get a taste of the old days.
I yelled at him to stop screwing around, and we beat each other up for three days and three nights. At first I thought he was a joke and tried to kill him, but then I realized he was hooked. That was a fun fight to remember.
"I shot so much magic at each other it was almost foolish to count it. The next thing I knew, there was a wilderness all around me.
"You too, I'd have turned the mountain into a bald hill.
"I didn't even want to count the number of holes I've made,
Gahahahaha and kaka kaka kaka, the laughter of demons and immortals echoed in the private room.
His expression is nostalgic, but the content is quite bleak, and I can understand that the damage must have been worse than I imagined.
I slowly narrate these stories and continue to ask how these instructors became generals.
How did it happen?
"Oh? I lost, and I lost big time. They ripped me to shreds, on top of a balding mountain, and I collapsed on my back, and you know what the general said to me?
To overwhelm this instructor sounds like a dream, but it must be true because the man himself speaks with laughter.
You can't help but take that into account when you think about what he said.
Do you want me to be your man because I won?
I could only come up with the most clichéd words.
I would have shouted 'no' and fought to the death! You know, the chief said that feasting is the way of the devil after a fight, and now you're bringing out a big barrel of sake! I can't say no to the demon, even though he was beating me up all over! We've been drinking until one of us goes down!
"Who won, by the way?
"It's the chief!
"Even if there was damage, how much do you think you're going to win a drinking contest with your instructor, Mr. President?
"Hey, we drank most of the last part in a barrel. I don't remember how much I drank! But I can tell you, that banquet was one of the best banquets I've ever had in my life.
That's how this demon became the boss's man.
It's amazing that such a manly president could overpower the demon yakuza who was happily talking about the past, but I'm also curious how he won the drinking contest.
I thought we had lost. And then I thought I'd shake my fist at the chief. Not because of what I did, but because I wanted to.
"Kaka, the demon king is the same old man. When he came to me, I was just going to get rid of him as if he were a cheeky little boy.
"But?
"The next thing you know, we were in a magic shootout.
"No, it's funny . It.
"Of course they were shooting at each other, trying to kill each other, right?
"You're getting even crazier, Instructor Fusio.
"Kakaka, I had no choice. I didn't feel the meaning of life at that time. I was just chasing after the essence of magic and witchcraft. Anyone who came in the way of that was an enemy.
I listened to Fusio, but I didn't have a decent encounter with him either.
I don't know if the two instructors who are training me are going to start killing each other at the same time.
I never thought the day would come when I would run out of magic, but when it was over it was surprisingly short-lived. At the time, I thought the end had come.
"What does ...... president say to Fusio instructor?
"Kaka-kaka, it's just another word for nothing. You asked me, the undead, if you would like to live. You asked me, the immortal, if you would like to live.
I'm beginning to feel like I have no choice if I'm the one to control these two people.
It was truly delightful. He asked me if I would be willing to live to see me beyond death.
Well, I wouldn't normally ask.
"That's the great thing about the demon king.
Well, isn't it natural to ask that of a general?
"Pull it out, would the Lord who came after me say that?
"Oh? You'll be later than me, but are you as dumb as your empty head?
"Kaka-kaka, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure I have a good memory, and I think you've got your head buried in muscles.
Okay, you want me to buy you a fight?
"Quick-tempered is a nice way to put it. It's not bad to sell the Lord once in a while.
"No, I'll be the first to be ground meat, so please buy and sell fights somewhere else wide and harmless.
I can't afford to be riled up in a space without such a person, so I have to intervene.
But if you were serious, you wouldn't take my voice of restraint into consideration.
Well...it would be bad for the sake. We'll just make Jiro's face.
Well, all right. I have no taste for embarrassing the host of a banquet.
I breathed a sigh of relief when they pulled away so easily.
So you two just became generals?
I told you, the general's faction is small and weak, and that won't change with us joining it.
"It's a battlefield of eat or be eaten from there on. We have defeated our enemies, framed them, and built our faction's foundation on blood.
"Looking back, those were the days when I was the most violent.
"That was about the time that Lunaria and Evvia joined, and the other generals joined in. When we were called the Seventh General.
Yeah, the Dragon King and Kiroku's place has changed. Well, the others have lasted quite a while, haven't they? The one with the bugs king is going down,
"Kakaka, that's right. Now, Jiro, is this how we became generals, helpful to you?
Not at all, I didn't.
"I know! You and I are in a different situation!
I asked again, but it is not helpful to be told that I am in my current position after such a turbulent period of warring states.
After all, I was about to come to the conclusion that I would only find out after I became a general.
"Don't think so hard. If you're good enough, a position will be given to you.
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you are not strong enough right now. But that's not a bad thing. But now is not the time to think. It's time to just show the results.
These two men have come to precisely chip away at my insecurities.
On the one hand, they laugh bravely, and on the other hand, they tell me to be rash without thinking.
Is that how it works?
That's just the way it is.
"But if you're nervous, this is the right time to do it. If you're anxious, this is the right time to have a drink to take your mind off your fears.
Then I'll take your advice.
For now, let's empty this offered cup of sake.
Itadakimasu.
Somehow, the drink felt better than usual on this occasion, and somehow, I wanted to be like that.
Word of the Day
Maybe hard work improves you and the result is determination.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
This feeling of exhaustion and freedom at the end of the workday, which is indescribably tired but not tired, may vary from person to person, but for me, it's a pleasant feeling these days.

This feeling of exhaustion and freedom at the end of the workday, which is indescribably tired but not tired, may vary from person to person, but for me, it's a pleasant feeling these days.Goodnight, I'm coming up."Ooooh, good job.Good job.With that in mind, today's work is over.This is the end of today's dungeon attack, as we have defeated the boss, which is a good break in terms of work, and the time is just right.We've decided that it's time to dismiss the game, so we'll leave the loot purchase for tomorrow.Then it's time for each of us to go about our business.After the dungeon attack was over and my plans for the day were over, I quickly showered, changed into my civilian clothes and left the party room in a hurry.Hearing Kaido and Katsu's voices at my back, I continue on my way with a light step.While exchanging greetings with your co-workers, you're headed home, but in the direction of the underground facilities.It's already in the evening, and at this time of day, Himiku would be preparing dinner.But this time I told Suela and the others that I had some business to attend to, so no dinner is needed."Thank you for your patience."Oh, you're late!"Kaka Kaka, it's unusual to receive an invitation from the Lord.The two instructors, who are usually abducted or involved in a banquet, are now familiar faces.The two instructors, who are usually abducted or caught up in a banquet to drink with, are no longer familiar faces.However, I did not plan to run into them on the side of the road.I thought I had told them the name of the store, but they were standing proudly in front of the entrance of the underground facility, not at the store, attracting attention.Well, I was prepared for a bit of a commotion when these two were present.So, without getting flustered, I just exchanged a normal greeting and led the way, and entered with them into a private room in a tavern located in a slightly elevated area of the underground facility.Puh-uh!Yum!"You can't tell me anything else?"Yummy!That's it!Instructor Kio doesn't even have time to hear the word "toast" as he calls for a drink as soon as he arrives at the store and empties it before you know it.He's an ogre, a drink on the run.You'll be able to taste the wine in your glass as you would in any other situation.The gesture is elegant despite the fact that we are in a tavern.The two of them order their drinks and the waitresses who come to take their orders look scared and giggle while I sip my beer that I ordered."And then?I heard you wanted to talk to us about something, what is it?"It is very interesting that you call us without telling us what it is.I rushed over and drank not one, but two or three glasses of wine, and when I was finally thirsty, Instructor Kio asked me what I wanted to talk to them about.In fact, as Instructor Fusio said, I had told him I had something I wanted to discuss with him beforehand, but I hadn't told him the details.I'm sure they have a pretty good idea of what I want to discuss with them at this point in time, but I'm going to tell them again what I want to discuss."About this competition."Oh?"HoWhen I put down my coton and mug and told them what I had to do, they didn't stop drinking to say they were interested, but they were urging me on with their eyes.We're going to do it, and we're going to win.Of course."YesI'm not going to make any weak statements in front of these two men.I'm going to tell them what I want to achieve from the bottom of my heart, but I'm also going to tell them what I'm feeling insecure about.And then?You didn't call us to declare such an obvious thing."It's obvious that you have no intention of losing your mind, and I don't need to reiterate that.To be honest, it's helpful to set the stage for that anxiety to come out.Yes, it's more sane to say, "I feel like having a drink, let's have a drink," than to sit down to talk about it now.I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.I'm not sure if I'm being delusional in my abilities, but if I were to win the championship and receive the general's title, I'm wondering what kind of general I should become later ......."Oh, if I get it, well, there's no chance of that happening.Kakaka, that's right. The word absolute does not exist in this world. You're with us if you can grasp that possibility. That's a strange fate. And no wonder you value the generalship.From the point of view of the two of them, the probability is less than theoretical.I am aware that we are talking about the raccoon dog's cunning, but the two of them are laughing, but they are not stupid, and have listened to me very carefully.This competition is a battle for the rank of general.By some fate, I was entered into the competition.At first I was upset, then confused, and finally I was able to take a chance.But with the rise in status comes responsibility.Can I bear that responsibility, or can I be the right person for the position?I think I have risen too early in my career, and the responsibility of being a general is not clear to me. So I would like to hear the story of what happened to the instructors when they became generals, just for your information."When we became generals?"Haha, they love to hear about the good old days.I never thought that I would become such a thing, so I came to ask the current general in front of me what a general is in order to embody my ideals.I'm sure the two of them know exactly what I'm feeling.The point is I'm worried.I'm not sure I can bear the weight of the responsibility that might be placed on my back.I wanted to ask if I had the strength to do that.All I could think about was winning, and then after I won, thoughts that weren't necessary at this point in my life mixed in.It's outrageous to think about what will happen after you win even before you win.But that didn't mean I could throw these thoughts away.Winning this battle means becoming a leader in the demon king's army, and the responsibility of that seat is probably more serious than I thought."Hmmm, I'll be the general. I felt like a general when I found out I'd killed the general and became a general.What?"Kaka-kaka, Jiro. I don't know if my story will be of any help to you. After all, I'm just like him.If you know what kind of general you want to be, then you will know the direction to strive in once your goal is set.I thought it would at least motivate me mentally if I could get a chance to do so, so I prepared for this drink, but from the very beginning, I was not just stunned, I was blown off my feet."The current general used to be a small faction. I mean, he was a candidate for the Demon King, but they said his chances of becoming one were slim to none."That's how I felt when he asked me to be his subordinate," he said, "and I can still remember how pleasant it was to be his subordinate.The pint-sized peach of peaches is a great way to get a taste of the old days.I yelled at him to stop screwing around, and we beat each other up for three days and three nights.At first I thought he was a joke and tried to kill him, but then I realized he was hooked. That was a fun fight to remember."I shot so much magic at each other it was almost foolish to count it. The next thing I knew, there was a wilderness all around me."You too, I'd have turned the mountain into a bald hill."I didn't even want to count the number of holes I've made,Gahahahaha and kaka kaka kaka, the laughter of demons and immortals echoed in the private room.His expression is nostalgic, but the content is quite bleak, and I can understand that the damage must have been worse than I imagined.I slowly narrate these stories and continue to ask how these instructors became generals.How did it happen?"Oh?I lost, and I lost big time. They ripped me to shreds, on top of a balding mountain, and I collapsed on my back, and you know what the general said to me?To overwhelm this instructor sounds like a dream, but it must be true because the man himself speaks with laughter.You can't help but take that into account when you think about what he said.Do you want me to be your man because I won?I could only come up with the most clichd words.I would have shouted 'no' and fought to the death!You know, the chief said that feasting is the way of the devil after a fight, and now you're bringing out a big barrel of sake!I can't say no to the demon, even though he was beating me up all over!We've been drinking until one of us goes down!"Who won, by the way?"It's the chief!"Even if there was damage, how much do you think you're going to win a drinking contest with your instructor, Mr. President?"Hey, we drank most of the last part in a barrel. I don't remember how much I drank!But I can tell you, that banquet was one of the best banquets I've ever had in my life.That's how this demon became the boss's man.It's amazing that such a manly president could overpower the demon yakuza who was happily talking about the past, but I'm also curious how he won the drinking contest.I thought we had lost. And then I thought I'd shake my fist at the chief. Not because of what I did, but because I wanted to."Kaka, the demon king is the same old man. When he came to me, I was just going to get rid of him as if he were a cheeky little boy."But?"The next thing you know, we were in a magic shootout."No, it's funny . It."Of course they were shooting at each other, trying to kill each other, right?"You're getting even crazier, Instructor Fusio."Kakaka, I had no choice. I didn't feel the meaning of life at that time. I was just chasing after the essence of magic and witchcraft. Anyone who came in the way of that was an enemy.I listened to Fusio, but I didn't have a decent encounter with him either.I don't know if the two instructors who are training me are going to start killing each other at the same time.I never thought the day would come when I would run out of magic, but when it was over it was surprisingly short-lived. At the time, I thought the end had come."What does ...... president say to Fusio instructor?"Kaka-kaka, it's just another word for nothing. You asked me, the undead, if you would like to live. You asked me, the immortal, if you would like to live.I'm beginning to feel like I have no choice if I'm the one to control these two people.It was truly delightful. He asked me if I would be willing to live to see me beyond death.Well, I wouldn't normally ask."That's the great thing about the demon king.Well, isn't it natural to ask that of a general?"Pull it out, would the Lord who came after me say that?"Oh?You'll be later than me, but are you as dumb as your empty head?"Kaka-kaka, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure I have a good memory, and I think you've got your head buried in muscles.Okay, you want me to buy you a fight?"Quick-tempered is a nice way to put it. It's not bad to sell the Lord once in a while."No, I'll be the first to be ground meat, so please buy and sell fights somewhere else wide and harmless.I can't afford to be riled up in a space without such a person, so I have to intervene.But if you were serious, you wouldn't take my voice of restraint into consideration.Well...it would be bad for the sake. We'll just make Jiro's face.Well, all right. I have no taste for embarrassing the host of a banquet.I breathed a sigh of relief when they pulled away so easily.So you two just became generals?I told you, the general's faction is small and weak, and that won't change with us joining it."It's a battlefield of eat or be eaten from there on. We have defeated our enemies, framed them, and built our faction's foundation on blood."Looking back, those were the days when I was the most violent."That was about the time that Lunaria and Evvia joined, and the other generals joined in. When we were called the Seventh General.Yeah, the Dragon King and Kiroku's place has changed. Well, the others have lasted quite a while, haven't they?The one with the bugs king is going down,"Kakaka, that's right. Now, Jiro, is this how we became generals, helpful to you?Not at all, I didn't."I know!You and I are in a different situation!I asked again, but it is not helpful to be told that I am in my current position after such a turbulent period of warring states.After all, I was about to come to the conclusion that I would only find out after I became a general."Don't think so hard. If you're good enough, a position will be given to you.The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you are not strong enough right now. But that's not a bad thing.But now is not the time to think. It's time to just show the results.These two men have come to precisely chip away at my insecurities.On the one hand, they laugh bravely, and on the other hand, they tell me to be rash without thinking.Is that how it works?That's just the way it is."But if you're nervous, this is the right time to do it. If you're anxious, this is the right time to have a drink to take your mind off your fears.Then I'll take your advice.For now, let's empty this offered cup of sake.Itadakimasu.Somehow, the drink felt better than usual on this occasion, and somehow, I wanted to be like that.Word of the DayMaybe hard work improves you and the result is determination.
