Entering a Company From Another World!? - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: 308 People look at others' backs and think differently




Kaido Chu side

When I heard that you quit, I thought, oh, here it is at last.

You've been like that for a long time.

You take on everything you can, and you take care of everything you can and subconsciously think that you don't care what happens to you as a result.

It's not that he is a self-sacrificing failure.

If anything, he's a hard worker who takes the initiative in taking care of his own problems.

The same is true when he was mentoring me at a previous company.

The paperwork from other departments would get passed on to us, and our seniors would take care of it.

Even though I had a lot of work to do, he took the job after a little trouble, saying he could do it.

In fact, he completed the job after staying up all night for several days, which I thought was amazing.

Maybe it was because I had seen that kind of back.

You're always going to be ahead of the curve, aren't you?

I feel a sense of loneliness.

I wonder if I should call it emptiness or disappointment as I am being left behind more and more.

All I can say is the certain fact that there is a part of me that asks myself if it's okay to stay this way.

Except for my seniors, I'm proud to be one of the best dungeon testers in the world.

It may be an exaggeration to say that I'm better than anyone else, but I've worked harder than anyone else in training, and I've achieved status.

But...

wow, they're getting away from me. Now I can't even see my back.

When I joined the company, I could see my senior's back clearly.

And I could see the faces of my seniors who sometimes looked back at me.

There was certainly a time when I thought I could still catch up with them.

But every time something happened, the senior, Tanaka Jiro, showed a tremendous leap, not just a step, but a tremendous leap.

Each time the gap in ability widens.

Uggaa, what do you want me to do?

I was lying on the bed in the bedroom, enjoying my vacation, when I found myself unable to do anything that can be called a hobby, such as video games or anime, but just silently filled with thoughts of how to get stronger.

But that doesn't mean I want to rely on any strange methods.

The desire to become strong right away, but not in a strange way.

Kaido knows what happened to his colleague who nearly destroyed himself with that strange power, the magic sword.

Unworthy power will have its revenge.

It is because he knows this that he could not say that this is okay.

The instructors don't have much time on their hands, so there's a limit to what they can train you for, right?

You're going to be able to get a full training like the special training program, but you complain about the fact that it's impossible while looking blankly at the ceiling with your hands behind your head.

The instructor is one of the seven generals that are the best forces of the Demon King's army.

You may appear on a whim, but you must still be busy.

It's not easy to learn secret techniques just because you're a dungeon tester, so there's no strategy book somewhere.

When was the last time I genuinely wanted to be strong.

Probably since I was a child.

What would it mean in today's society to simply be strong? The thought has long since been shunned, but the remaining emotions were nurtured until they were lit.

However, the fire still smoldered without the flame.

As you roll over in bed with a heavy heart, there is a knock at the door.

Yes, sir.

This room is smaller than the one my senpai lives in, but there are enough rooms for one person to live alone.

In such a room, the person who lives with you is .

Oh, Tadashi. I wonder what's troubling you with your head in your hands, hey shhhh.

Yes, Mikey. Tadashi has been like that since this morning. Why doesn't he talk to us about it?

"Yes, sheek. I think I'm going to cry.

"Me too, Miik, is it really so unreliable of us?

And then, angels appear at the door, looking exactly alike, holding each other's hands, looking at each other and occasionally glancing my way.

From the time I took them in, they've been taking care of me as a domestic helper, but I don't know how to deal with these girls who look completely the same as junior high school students these days.

Fortunately, they have no trouble talking to me because they are interested in anime.

But it's awkward to be pressed as a woman by these girls who look like girls.

The twins, despite their appearance, have a strange s*xiness to them, which is even worse.

But usually, when you are worried about something like this, without creating such an atmosphere, you read the air and appear on a whim.

It's a good thing that you're not afraid to ask for help. You know what?

You don't have to worry about that, Tadashi?　We may look dainty, but we're more experienced than you, okay?　Hey, Sikh.

"Yes, I usually polish my beauty for Tadashi to look at, but I'm experienced enough to listen to your problems, right?　Hey, Meek.

This is a matter of my own feelings, but I'm not sure how to discuss it with these girls who look younger than me.

Is it a loser to ask them about their appearance, no matter how old they are? It's also true that I can't seem to find the right words to express my feelings.

That's probably why I can't say anything else, even though I was convinced that it was necessary until just now.

Yes, usually I would have said.

".........

I got out of bed and was a little troubled, but when I asked myself if I should be worried about my pride and not do anything about it, my mouth moved easily.

"Siku-chan, Myk-chan, can I ask you a question?

Yes, of course. Hey, Sikh.

Yeah, you're welcome. Hey, Mike.

And the twin angels who had been waiting for me all along chuckled happily.

At the same time the chime rings.

?　You have a visitor.

Huh, how timely is that, don't you think?　Hey, Sikh.

Yes, mikku, the timing of which can only be seen as an attempt, but if it solves Tadashi's problems, then I don't have any choice, hey mikku.

Then, when they realized who came at the chime, they went to the door with the girls at their side.

It's Amiri-chan, what's going on?　You're still at work, right?

This is but a denial. We detected information that Tadashi was in distress, and after considering our priorities, we decided that we should give priority to this one. As a result of the presumption of his distress, we have come to the conclusion that we have come to offer a solution.

Um, you mean you came home from work for me?

"Affirmation

You can find Amiri, who is younger than Sik and Miq, standing alone there.

I'm sure you'll be happy to see them.

Sheikh, meikh.

What do you mean?

"Yes, what is it?

"I need your help to solve Tadashi's problem. Therefore, I am asking for your help.

"......... should be good for you.

I stood in the doorway, dumbfounded by the unusual scene of three people who usually compete for something in a room, working together.

Thanks, then move, time is limited.

Where do you want to go?

Oh, don't worry about it, Tadashi, hey, Miq.

Yeah, we're good to go with you, hey, Amiri.

"Affirmation, acting quickly is the current optimal solution, Sikh

Amiri took me by the hand and pushed me back by Seek and Myk, and I was taken away to somewhere regardless of my intentions.

Tadashi Kaido side End

Kitamura-Kakoi side

Is it really that easy to quit a person?

I wondered over and over if it was that easy to quit, and then I came to the conclusion that each person is different.

Some people can do it, some people can't. And then I think that he or she will eventually quit.

And this is not even a question for me as I was thinking that she would eventually quit.

This is my room.

This is not a room in the company's party room, but rather my room in a typical house with no magic or anything.

.........

I was silently reviewing the contents of my university lecture, when suddenly my hand stopped grasping a mechanical pencil.

How many times has this happened?

It's obvious that I can't concentrate because I stop so often.

I know why.

"Huh, let's take a break.

Without making an excuse to anyone, you quietly put your pencil on the table and reach for your mug, but find nothing inside and let out another sigh.

You're not concentrating,

Putting the mug on the table, she stretched out her back, leaning against the back of the chair instead.

"Hmmm, haha, ......... Jiro-san, that was easy.

I know why I'm not focused.

I can still vividly remember that moment.

I've faced the crisis many times, but each time I've gotten over it.

But it was only when I fought that eight-necked bony dragon that I was more than halfway through giving up.

But my boss turned that desperate situation upside down and enlightened me.

A man who fought in the front line more than anyone else, who took the attack more than anyone else, who tried to be stronger than anyone else.

He was rightly called "Warriors" after holding the white mineral tree as if he could capture that will.

Watching him, I wondered where the difference lay.

Talent?　Effort?　Experience?

There was something about it that felt like none of them were, and that just appealed to me.

"Hey, really, take it easy without knowing how we feel,

The figure of the boss who quit the person and accepted it easily.

The figure of the boss who smiled with an almost bitter smile and thought he had finally done it.

He understood that he understood our feelings of concern and bowed to us, but I felt a sense of urgency as he walked onward and onward instead.

The emotions of that time came back, and although my body felt a little better with a straighter stance, my mind was not clear.

To clear those hazy emotions, you quietly open your laptop and boot up your computer.

You type the password into the computer and call up more hidden files from the desktop icon.

With a click of the mouse, you launch the data in the opened folder.

"......... no good, no good at all".

And after some manipulations, the data remains unchanged.

The data is a growth record that I started to keep after I joined the company.

In principle, you can't take the data outside the company, but you can organize the data in your head like this.

I was originally confident of my memory.

So I made this data as a document to review at home with multiple layers of security.

From the outside, the self-evaluation sheet looks like a junior high school student's. But it is now my strength.

But since it represents my current strength, I stare at it seriously.

I look at the data and give my criticism.

To myself, of course.

"Huh, what am I going to do?

Your status is growing steadily, and you are learning both magic and new things.

In the eyes of others, you are growing steadily.

It may be a luxury affair, but you're worried that you need more growth.

You can quickly come up with such a cliché method, but it's not enough and yet you understand yourself better than anyone else.

I'm used to things like data analysis.

It's not that you can't grasp how much your current strength is lacking to keep up with the party in the future.

But it doesn't mean you can't come up with a solution right away.

I'm not going to be able to tell you how you can be so strong ......... haha, that's right. It's like a shonen cartoon where the more you get into a pinch, the stronger you get.

I'm so distressed, how unreasonable for me to be so distressed, but when I think about how my distress is caused, I easily remember that I'm really making an effort to shed blood, and I wonder if I have to do it too.

It's really pathetic.

The more you worry, the more you don't know what to do.

And it goes back to the first worry.

Is it so easy to quit a person?

Will I become stronger if I quit?

I can say no to both questions.

Even Jiro, who sometimes joked that he was still human, must have been troubled at first.

But he has Suela, Memoria, Himik, and most recently, Evia.

He made a contract with a special spirit for those women who couldn't be there for a human, prolonged their lives, and accepted the fact that he quit being a man.

They are on different ground from me.

And it's not easy to become strong just because you quit.

And even if you do get the power, it's not something you can control.

But I wouldn't be doing this if I could give up.

Honestly, I don't know if it was ever going to bother me this much.

I know I'm a competitive and headstrong character.

But have I ever been this worried, never wanting to be left behind?

If you are not our enemy, there must have been times when you gave up, even though it was frustrating.

But there's a reason why you're troubled like this.

......... cozy in there.

That's why I call the thing.

Ticking away again, I brought up a picture.

It's a picture of cherry blossom viewing.

In the midst of all this merriment, I saw myself laughing and having fun.

People around me were happy and I was happy too.

I don't want to let go of that place where I can express those feelings honestly.

Now, what to do.

While I was wondering what kind of effort it would take to maintain that feeling, I suddenly got a call on my phone.

It says, "Bad timing, who's that .........?　South?　That's unusual.

I wasn't concentrating well, so I picked up the phone just in case.

I never thought that this would be the beginning of a solution to my problems.

Word of the Day

The worries are all different and the emotions are also unique.
