A dozen minutes after seeing Minami and her friends off.

Kaido is also recovering from the damage from Minami, so it's time for us to move on.

We're heading to the company's training facility.

It's not the original room I was in during training, but a room that's open to testers.

Oh, yeah, you're doing it.

I heard the sound of battle coming from one of the rooms, and when I peered in quietly, the scene was exactly as we imagined it would be.

As I had expected, Katsu was there today in a different position from the recovery position he usually trained in, holding his staff, just as I had expected him to be in the magic profession.

The other party is a dark elf party.

In contrast, Katsu's party is a mixed squad of goblins and orcs.

The only magician is Katsu, but they have confidence in their strength and stamina.

They are strong when they get close.

A party composed of dark elves knows this, so they try to keep you away from them, and the frustration in Katsu's party is building up.

"Hey, did you come to check on me?

Yes, thank you for your hard work, Kaylie.

I walk up to the dark elf woman, Kaylie, who will oversee the mock battle.

She's wearing a suit as usual.

I hear you've been busy with things since Suela left, but I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me.

How are you doing?

"Hmmm, I'm just getting started, but I'm not sure I'm focused enough. You're an instant wizard, so you don't have a lot of cover, and from your experience as a healer, you seem to use that more than the other way around.

"I see.

Nodding in agreement with Kaylee, who smiled and said, "Let's get used to it and improve it," she looked at the front.

The expression on Katsu's face was one of hesitation, yet he was recklessly struggling to deal with what was right in front of him.

That day, when Katsu asked me about his significance in the party, I said.

"Let me tell you something, you're indispensable to our party. And this is without any flattery or reserve or anything like that. And I want you to remember that on the premise.

The question troubled me for a moment, but I was able to get the words out smoothly.

But I was able to get the words out smoothly.

Seeing her expression, you were a little unsure whether you should take it easy, but you chose the first word of affirmation.

But I don't stop there, I'll get his true intentions.

"With that in mind, I'm going to ask you why you thought that. Is there something wrong?

I think there was some kind of change of heart, a look of consternation.

Rather, Katsu would not be the kind of guy to say such things without it.

I don't think there was a problem within the party.

But Katsu and I are now about a year apart.

Even if you think you're okay with it, maybe there's something you missed.

But in my mind, I think that Katsu will not talk about the meaning of his existence in the word "somehow".

You're not going to be able to get rid of it.

"South?

As expected, I was relieved that it was not just a vague, emotional action, but instead it was the story of Minami, who is good at reading the air, but sometimes reads it and ignores it.

Masaru and Minami are childhood friends.

With their relationship, it's not surprising that some problems could arise.

It's certainly a possible source of trouble.

Even though she comes to work with you, she's not a bad person, but I can't shake the impression that she's an inauthentic person.

The seriousness is there, but it's inconspicuous.

"Is that guy in some kind of trouble again?

She basically leaves it to others to do things that do not interest her.

Mainly household chores such as cooking and painful jobs such as physical labor.

You can't pick and choose which job to do, but Minami was good at sifting through them.

Lately, she's gotten the hang of it, and even though her tone is joking, she helps out with the physical work and doesn't show the same avoidance behavior she had in the past.

I wondered if he's putting all the pressure on Katsu behind the scenes, and I was worried.

"No, they don't cause any problems.

"? Isn't that a good thing?'

But Katsu himself denied that this was the case.

Normally you would be happy that there was no problem with that. ...... Masaru's own expression was not good.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure how to describe it, because lately, Minami has been acting more and more on her own.

"?

The words of Katsu's out-of-key words create a mess of question marks in my head.

The problem that Katsu is having is supposed to be the south, but the south that should be the problem is not the problem.

What is it, is it philosophy?

"When Minami was cleaning her room,

"Does he clean his room?

"No, as far as I know, it's the first time

"I see.

It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's not a good idea to break off the conversation by pointing out that part, so I'll ignore it (through).

However, you can't understand what is bothering you, and you're not sure what to say to Katsu's words.

It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're looking for. ......

"Hmm?

Other than that, South's position in the dungeon and when he decided on his own to take the lead in helping Amelia.

Seeing Minami's lively appearance, Katsura says that she began to feel indescribable emotions swirling around her.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're going through, and you'll be able to see how you're feeling.

It's called love, isn't it? ...and...

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it, but I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

Just to make sure, I'll ask Katsu to confirm.

I think it's a good thing to be independent, Katsu, but what's the problem with ...... Katsu? It's not that the South is going to lose touch with you just because it's on its own. It may change your daily life a little bit, but doesn't that mean that the South is starting to change in the South too?

I feel like it was more of a problem for a college girl being taken care of by a high school student.

Now, I can dismiss it as such a relationship, but if you think about it in a normal way, it's a strange relationship.

You're right, compared to when you first joined the company, Minami's range of activities has improved a lot.

He's not retreating into his own world, but expanding the scope of communication to accommodate.

Despite his interests, he takes the initiative in helping with paperwork and cleaning the party room.

You don't often see me cooking a meal, but I do at least prepare coffee for my friends.

Gradually, she becomes free from sloppiness and achieves the social independence that she aimed for when she joined the company, doesn't she?

"Yes, but what is it?

Such an idea and the attitude of good but not joyfulness of victory.

Rather than feeling burned out and unable to do anything, the workaholic businessman is so out of stock that he doesn't know what to do?

Or maybe you had mixed feelings about your child leaving the nest?

As all kinds of predictions went through your head, you thought it was a little different from love, and then you came up with a possibility that it might be.

I'm not sure if this is just a piece of advice, but let's try to have a change of pace, shall we?

"A change of pace?

So I made a suggestion to Katsura to see the possibilities.

That's what I'm doing in front of you right now, to be a part of another party to experience various jobs.

"So, how is Victory?

I'm not sure, but I'm sure Jiro-kun was right. To be honest, cases like this are so rare that I overlooked them too.

"I see.

I've been working with Katsu to experience positions other than recovery, to make her reevaluate her role, and I also asked Kaylee to check it out for me.

I didn't think that was possible, but...

"The south is too flamboyant. Even I didn't notice that.

To be honest, I think Minami was so excited that she was not behaving normally anymore.

Masaru's worries seemed to be a harbinger of the time when adults who could not be separated from their children were overprotective of them.

The need for a parent at all times, a feeling that is said to be a desire for approval.

From his usual behavior, it appeared that Minami was dependent on Katsu. ...... I was a little concerned and checked it out.

I thought I could do it if I did it, but I didn't do it ...... 'on purpose'.

So you had to support Katsu-kun, it seems he had to have something to make you feel like you were the one who needed him.

It could be the other way around.

There are many things that people cannot talk about, even with a good friend.

In fact, there are cases where you can't talk to someone because you are close to them.

I'm sorry to guess that, but in this case, it's possible that Katsura didn't realize it, and only South was aware of it.

It is possible that South does not need Masaru, but that subconsciously he wanted someone to need him.

The story that Minami may have been responsible for that position.

In order to confirm this, not Suela, but to make sure that neither Minami nor Masaru would have any doubts about it, she asked Keely to experience a number of parties, and Keely interviewed the members of the party with Masaru to get their confirmation.

All the leaders of the parties said.

It seems like he was always trying to get your attention, and when Minami was away, his words of encouragement were the only thing that kept you going. It was good that he acted honestly, but I got the impression that he was desperate to support someone else.

Does that sound serious, Kaylee?

I don't know that much. Or did it happen because of something that happened a long time ago? I'd have to ask the person involved to find out more.

Speaking of parties, you're South.

The results were encouraging, but remained a possibility.

Looking back, Katsura never came to work alone.

It was natural for him not to come when school was in session, but there were times when Minami would come alone, but Katsu was always with Minami.

I knew that he intended to support Minami, but as this point of view increased, I often felt as if Minami was watching Katsura.

Maybe Minami's frustration was part of this as well.

If you quit because you didn't like your job, it's a naive idea, but I'd have to agree with you. But if that's how you feel about it, that's a bit different: ......

"What do you do?

"In that case, you could run away from it, but you'll often regret it. It's just a matter of doing what you can to avoid regret.

Come on, Jiro-kun. We're about to have our second class of testers join us, and a reduction in testers is not good for either side.

I know, I know. Personally, I don't want to say good-bye to Katsumi here, either.

Fortunately, this time it's within my reach.

As for where to start: ......

"Well, here's the thing.

While Kaido and Keely stare at me, I take out my phone and contact them.

I can't help but wonder if the device is always at hand when it's read and replied to.

It's like that.

Is it Minami-chan, after all?

Well, it's hard to talk about it before you've been sneaking around in the dark, but I'll figure it out.

I smiled one bitter smile as I guess I hadn't left yet when I immediately designated a store outside after being sent a stamp of anger mark.

I'll get in touch with Suela and the others as soon as possible.

I'll be out for a bit, Kaylie, take care of Katsu, please.

"Got it, I got it.

"Kaido is ......

"Whoosh!

Convince me to pick you up, and then you can decide what to do.

"Huh?

The designated store is a coffee shop one station away from the company.

I thought Minami was going to such a place, but left the place to Kaylie to get away from the place, not hidden at the entrance to avoid causing a commotion, and sent Kaido towards it when he saw a passing employee who was surprised to see him.

'Ahahahaha! I've never seen a plane king like that before.

"I was gobsmacked to hear that Kaido was liked, but now, if you make him wait, Minami will sulk.

"Here you go, have a good day.

I hurriedly watch Kaido run off, and I leave him with me.

I bail to Amiri, who looks up at me and invites Kaido to dinner, and then I walk through the side.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?

My former company had a lot of trouble at work, but there's no shortage of trouble here too.

If possible, I hope this will end without causing too much trouble.

Word of the Day

Who doesn't have troubles at work.
