Chapter 263: 258. Looking back, I think it went by so quickly

We were in the party room, not in the Jiyuan room, making a report on this training program.

Normally the party room is very busy, but now it's very quiet compared to the usual.

I'm sitting at my usual table, facing my computer screen and working on my report.

The first cup of coffee is already cold and I only bring it to my lips to quench my thirst every now and then.

To your left, Kaido is doing the same thing.

Like me, his fingers only stop to check the text once in a while.

It's so crisp and smooth that it makes you think the training at your previous company was worth it.

Kitamiya and Amelia, who are sitting across from me, sometimes stop as Kitamiya teaches Amelia, who doesn't know how to write.

At a table some distance away, Minami and Masaru are working on the same task.

Such a peaceful moment had returned.

"So it's really only been a day.

When he left the room, Kaido said that vaguely as if he spoke for someone else, even though he must have experienced it many times.

He must have been tired.

Even though the training schedule was designed to allow for adequate rest and not to leave you exhausted, it was a different environment, a different job description.

There must have been no small amount of tension and mental strain.

Unlike the supervisors and instructors who immediately went back to their workplaces, Kaido's words made you feel exhausted.

Even if your body is not physically tired, your body often feels heavy just because your mind is relaxed.

The normally dignified Kitamiya, the energetic Amelia and Katsu, who doesn't often show their tiredness, could not hide their fatigue only on the day they were released from training.

It's a good thing that you have a smartphone and a signal, that you have a signal, that you have a phone, as if you're excited after an all-nighter. As I'm dancing maniacally, my mental fatigue has been blown away by the benefits of modern technology.

Putting such exceptions aside, I'm tired as I am, but not as tired as the others, so I can get on with my work, but there's no need to move on to work as it is.

It can be said that working inadequately is not efficient.

If you are not in a hurry to work, you should take a break.

You're tired from the training. We're going to close up for the day and each of you can get your rest.

We decided to break up for the day to rest each of us, and we decided to wait three days before getting together.

During those three days, I had to be me, and I had to finish some troublesome business, so it was good for me to have more time.

This way I could make up my mind.

Unlike the others, I'm less tired because I'm still trying to keep my head up.

After all, I have to tell Suera and the others about the director.

My feelings, my thoughts.

This is going to be a hard thing to say, but I'm going to tell the supervisor, Evia, what happened during this training.

I'm nervous.

I'm going to meet Suela, Memoria and Himikku after a long time, but they didn't feel only happy to see me, and as I saw off Kaido and the others, I let out a sigh without anyone noticing.

The spirit that can rejoice in the harem in a fantasy world is honestly envied only now.

With this in mind, I set down my equipment in the party room and headed for my room at home, exchanging greetings with the already familiar fantasy employees that I pass by from time to time.

I've been thinking about how to start a conversation with him, but the journey seemed to be going faster than usual, perhaps because I was thinking.

Suddenly, the front door was right in front of you.

It's just before noon when I came back from the office.

At this time of day, the only person who would be there would be Himiku.

If you think about it calmly, Suela and Memoria are working now.

They can't be back home.

What am I doing?

Thinking seriously, I was nervous, and with a slightly distracted expression on my face, I took out the key, inserted it, turned the doorknob, and the door opened.

I'm home.

Then you walk in the door and you hear a light footstep with a clatter.

That sound makes me think of that one.

Himikku is tall and has a big stride, so I thought the footsteps should be a little more paused.

I look at the person who greets me.

Welcome back. Jiro.

Suela, what's going on at this hour?

"No, I mean,

It was Suela who greeted me, who I thought was gone.

She should be working at this time of day, but she hadn't thought back to her schedule to see what was going on.

The suit she usually wears was loosened up after her belly became prominent, but now she's in full loungewear, holiday style.

You can find a number of different types of shoes for you to choose from.

I wondered if the situation was that serious.

You don't have to worry about it, Lord. Suela just got kicked out of her office.

"No, that's a big deal, isn't it?

It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what's going on.

I'm sure I didn't say it right. But it's true, so I'll have to do it. Suela didn't take care of the baby and tried to do her job as usual, so Kaylee called me and I took her in.

It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, because it's a great way to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

Suela ......

"No, I mean, yes, I'm sorry.

I came back with my own problems, but it seems that Suela was also causing some typical problems with Suela.

Tell her, Lord. It's not just Suela's baby. I know your job is important, but you don't want it to get back to you. I think you should be allowed to take what is essentially a maternity leave.

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

"I wish I could, but I'm busy planning a new tester,

I see.

As the head of the tester section, Suela is in charge of filling the current shortage of testers.

To be honest, the dungeon test is currently made up of our party and a few other talented people, but

Part-time work has become a problem, and some of them do only the minimum amount of activity.

However, testers have become an indispensable part of the company.

They are an important key person.

Suela, who is in a position to manage them well and prepare them for training, was working with a sense of responsibility.

This sense of responsibility has made me forget that I am a pregnant woman.

It is also unthinkable that the body can be a little overwhelmed by magic power.

This is the reason why the situation continues, and in the eyes of those around you, you red carded the pregnant Suela and summoned Himiku.

I'm sure you understand, but I can't stand on my feet forever, so I quietly take Suela's hand and lead her to the living room.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them.

You'll enter the living room with Suela, who is a little shy as she takes your hand. Himikku has spent that short time preparing tea for me.

Lord, tea is here.

"Oh, thank you.

Sitting Suela on the living room couch, I sit down next to her and Himikku appears with a tray.

You receive a cup of green tea in a teacup and take a sigh of relief.

You take a sip of green tea and breathe a sigh of relief at its warmth.

There's no more awkwardness from there, just a simple reminder to take it easy, and Suela listens honestly.

That's the end of Suela's story.

Then we'll talk about recent events at the training and what you did, and we'll continue the chatter.

We'll keep chatting.

You can't help but wonder when to start talking, but you can't help but dwell on it forever.

Suela, Himik, I have something very important to tell you.

What do you want?

"An important story from the Lord?

It would be awkward to break the harmonious atmosphere, but it's worse to hide it .

Make up your mind.

The supervisor offered me a promotion.

That wouldn't be a bad way to start.

In fact, it is true that there is talk of a dungeon master and generalship.

Really?

"Mm! That's natural for my Lord.

They are happy about it as if it were their own affair.

That's great in itself, but the problem is after this.

I just don't know if I'd call it a problem to take this talk, but there are some things I need to work out.

"Solution, is it?

All good stories have an upside.

Suela understands that, and she immediately sees that something is wrong and looks at me squarely.

Himik also waits quietly for me to speak.

Yeah, my current position is just a tester. No matter how well I've learned, I can't change that part of the equation. Even if the instructors recommend me, I won't be able to suppress my grievances.

What I'm missing is simply a title.

You could call it a career.

I'm just a newcomer in the demon king's army where there are many long-lived races.

I'm gaining strength and my abilities are moving up in the ranks.

There's no way I can give such an ordinary guy an important position all of a sudden.

It would be better if you want to move up gradually, but there's no training for a human to be promoted in the current demon king's army.

Even if you show your ability and prove your competence, you're still hampered by the lack of precedent.

The instructors are pushing me, but it's not enough.

I need a stronger backing, or in this case, a wedge to prevent me from betraying the demon king's army in the eyes of others.

"So I was told that I needed to marry a high-ranking young lady to help me move this along.

"......

"......

The explanation from the supervisor is calmly conveyed to them as well, but still Suela and Himik's expressions are not good.

That's true too.

Me and the girls are crazy from a Japanese perspective, but we're in love.

Our relationship is very well-balanced.

It's probably because they're so good together.

To put it smugly, it's because they like me.

It's understandable that you wouldn't want to put a foreign object in such a relationship, even for the sake of your career.

I sensed that vibe, and I thought it would be better to decline the offer.

My position is precarious, and this offer will give me a certain status and security.

It'll be hard work, of course, but it will give me the power to do that much.

But on the other hand, your family will be out of balance.

If you invite the woman into your home to gain a position, it is inevitable that she will have a stronger voice.

It is best if you get along, but even then the balance will surely be thrown off.

Even if that person is someone they know.

...... Are you listening to your partner?

Knowing this, Suela will ask for the other's name.

Is it for me or is there some other concern?

I can see the concern in his eyes.

I knew this was out of line, so I decided to give priority to Suela and the others.

Now you're beginning to wonder what to tell the supervisors.

The supervisor.

The clouds turned completely black, and regretting making them feel uneasy, I told them of my political marriage partner.

Oh, that's no problem then.

What?

"Mm, that guy, well, he'll have no problem with it. ...... Mmm.

I'm so relieved. I was thinking of a young lady of rank who might be a supporter of Jiro-san, and I was a little concerned.

I told her, but what happened to her earlier gloomy expression?

Easily Suela says it's all right and begins to drink her tea.

Himikku is also Himikku, grunting and conflicted about something, but he still seems to approve of being a supervisor.

"What? What does that mean?

Did you think I wasn't aware of Jiro's situation?

You can find a lot of people who have been in a state of bewilderment.

It's a good idea to get out of Jiro's unstable situation and get a promotion. Since I knew that political marriage was essential for that reason, I did my research and shared that information with Himikku and Memoria in order to deal with it. I was going to oppose it, depending on the partner, but it looks like the demon king is seriously planning to take Jiro-san into his fold.

I wonder what expression I have on my face now as Suela says, "It was quicker than I expected.

The word "political marriage" is easily mentioned by Suera.

I'm rather surprised that it was taken care of without my knowledge.

The lowest line for us was a mutually beneficial relationship in which we could stay out of our relationship, but I think Evia-sama would be the best match as far as I'm concerned.

And I was beginning to be confused by the amazing understanding my wives had for this story.

More and more, I don't know what I look like now.

It seems that, leaving me behind, Suela and Himik have been thinking about this political marriage more deeply than I have.

When I hear that, a question arises in my mouth.

"What would you have done if you were with a bad guy, by the way?

"I was doing my best to stop it, you know?

I'm not sure if it's because I've met a good wife and she's supporting me.

I was embarrassed and happy that she loved me even more.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a date with the supervisor or not, but he told me that I should go on a date with him.

In the end, he told me to have fun.

When things settle down, let's have a dinner party to talk about the future of our lives.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has been in this situation.

I'm not sure if you have a clear understanding of the common sense of the other world.

And ......

Three days after talking to Suela and the others.

Memoria had the same kind of reaction, and she was reminded again that she still had some things to get used to, and she arrived at this day.

"Hmm, looks like it's going to be all right.

The party room was unusually quiet.

Normally, the room would be quite noisy with a lot of chatter if it was just to make a report, but on this day, everyone was quietly and silently working on their reports with the bare minimum of conversation, even Minami.

And that's no wonder.

The reason for this is the crimson haired owner sitting on the sofa in one corner of the party room.

We all had a question mark over our heads as to why it was here, but we didn't get to hear the reason for it before we started the paperwork and here we are.

I'm the only one who knows the reason, so I fill out the report and submit it to the supervisor.

So let's get him out of here, like we agreed.

That's the end of my work for today.

The time was a little before noon, and the supervisor, who got the day off earlier than expected, said, "You have a date with me.

"On your date," he said.

After dropping a bomb in the room, he took my arm and left the party room.

With a shout from the other side of the door in the background, I turned to the proactive supervisor, or rather, the private one, Evia, wondering what he was going to say to me later, and said honestly: "I was looking forward to it.

"Surprisingly, you were looking forward to it.

Yes, I said so.

Thinking that there is a surprisingly cute side of Evvia, who came into the party room with the feeling that the child is looking forward to the field trip.

For now, look at her outfit and immediately decide on a destination.

Word of the Day

There are quite a few things that seem long and short in retrospect.
