"Um, why is it here?
"Well, partly because of the urgency and lack of a good place to talk, but also because I think it's a pretty great place to be out of the public eye. Unsupervised, no one comes. I can't think of a better place in the company to have a private conversation than here, in my opinion.
"But you didn't even bother to come here.
"I'm not going to do anything weird, you know I have a wife, right? And what better place to do it than here?
It is, but
The pale Nanase said she wanted to talk to me and we looked at each other.
The expression on her face was more serious than serious, so I couldn't ask her to leave later, but that doesn't mean there was anything to talk about on the street.
Then what should we do?
Conclusion .
"Don't worry, Kaido will take care of the dewdrop for you. So if you don't have to worry about the enemy attacking you, there's no chance of Kaido losing on this level.
"Ha, ha.
I decided to change the destination and bring him to the dungeon for a chat.
I'm sure there's someplace a little different, but there's no conference room to hold it in.
But I couldn't take him to my room, Kaido's room, or the party room.
In a way, I brought her to the Kiroku's dungeon as a last resort.
There are thirty-two levels.
As background music, you can hear Kaido's strange voice and the sound of something slashing against the sound of kicking and crushing blows because he's fighting a golem.
Hoorcher! You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for in a dungeon.
This is not a simulated space that you can experience in a training room, but a real dungeon that is your everyday workplace.
Naturally, monsters wander around and there are traps, so it's understandable to be wary.
I know that you are dressed to enter the dungeon, so I know you can defend yourself.
I'll be able to handle it if anything goes wrong.
And then? What's the story?
You may talk about wanting to be reassured, but I guess it's not what you're feeling.
You can't help but be wary.
But unfortunately, it's the same here.
We're not that close to Nanase, we're just Kitamiya's acquaintances.
Our reason for agreeing to talk comes from a selfish desire to get information.
I'm willing to listen to you, but we must be careful too.
That's why we've chosen this place as a place where we can be wary of each other.
You never know who is talking to whom in the dungeon.
Even if we were seen in the dungeon together, we could claim it was just a coincidence and if push came to shove, we could say it was our job.
So you'll be able to cut to the chase without paying attention to the battles around you.
Let's see... .........
"You have to go out of your way to ambush me to tell me this, right?
"......... yes
There is a reason why you have arranged this much and still hesitate, but we can't stay with her forever either.
I have time for work, and talking to her for a long time is going to cause some problems.
So when I pointed out that I was waiting to give you the opportunity to move the conversation forward, she quickly looked up and began to speak.
"To tell you the truth, I have something to discuss with you about Toru-kun.
"Fire Clear?
And I knew that if Nanase was going to talk to me about it, it would be about Hikarumi.
I asked her about it outright, but inwardly I wondered if she was right.
You'll be able to find out the reason why you're looking for advice because you're stuck at work.
If possible, I would have preferred you to go that way, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working out.
"If it were true, I thought it would be better to talk to Karen, but we haven't been able to reconcile yet after what happened before.
"Okay.
The name of Kitamiya was mentioned, and my mood dropped a little bit as if it was a story of love.
"Lately, Toru-kun has been acting strangely.
Funny, how?
It's just that I'm in too different of a field to be able to deal with something like dating advice from a woman who is a little older than me.
I question why it's me, and I agree with her.
I hope the conversation goes well, and I listen with some trepidation.
She was a little down before, but she's been upbeat lately.
Isn't that a good thing?
It's good that she's getting better, but she's getting better in a strange way. It's different from the past Toru-kun, or, yes, his sense of justice has become strangely strong.
"Justice? I got the feeling that he had a serious personality before.
And as the story goes on, the clouds are starting to lift.
Yes, he was serious, but he wasn't the kind of person who would force his ideas on you. He would push his ideas out like this is the right thing to do and you should do it too.
That's certainly odd.
The fire clearing I remember was definitely an upright man, but he wasn't arrogant.
Maybe there's something wrong with him.
"What is
I don't know, but if there's something to change my mind, I'll know.
If he has changed, there must be a good reason for that.
It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get the most out of it.
"Um, .........
"Oh.
When I glanced away from you earlier, you looked at me, and then you looked away again.
After a few minutes of this repetition, I was mentally exhausted by the lack of progress in the conversation.
I don't know if this is relationship advice or not, but I'm sure I'm doing something unfamiliar, and I honestly can't help but feel jealous of Kaido's rampage.
Although I can't help but feel annoyed, I can still put up with the frustration if I think there's a reason for it.
But if that's possible, please move on.
"Its .........
"Yes.
However, Nanase doesn't seem to cut to the chase.
In fact, her voice is getting quieter and quieter, to the point where I fear I would miss it if it weren't reinforced.
Isn't her goal to buy time? You can't help but start thinking, "What the hell is the purpose of this?
And what the hell is the purpose of it all, and it's time for the gestalt to collapse.
Mr. Tanaka.
"Okay, okay, here's Mr. Tanaka.
Just when the palaver was starting to wear thin.
"Do men like harems?
"Okay, okay, Harlem. ......... Harlem?
"Yes, Harlem is
Finally, the question was asked if men like harems.
I was going to answer the question without any hesitation, but I was already thinking of attacking the dungeon as a battle training, so my response was delayed.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.
......... Oh, it's a harem!
"Yes.
If you're asking about a harem, I'm certainly the man for the job.
It's even better if you're a real-life man with a harem.
If this is the reason why you changed, I must answer you, but it's honestly hard to say.
And now it's my turn to stammer.
What's the sad thing about answering whether or not a woman of your age likes a harem?
......... To each his own, right? That's the one, the single-minded one too,
And to which side am I replying with this?
I can only give you a simple answer and I can say that my feelings are quite complicated.
If you ask me if I personally like harems, I can only say that I don't dislike them.
But the reality is that there are multiple women around.
From the demon king's army's point of view, it's not a problem, but from the Japanese side, it's just a word of abnormality, and yet Nanase skipped the question.
I don't need to think about what the hell that means.
It could mean that a woman other than Nanase had come out around fire-clearing.
You're going to be able to find out what this guy is doing when he caused problems with Kitamiya and Nanase, but you have to hold it together.
Is that so?
And my answer may not have been the answer Nanase wanted.
I don't know whether I should have said I liked her or not.
"That fire-clearing guy, ah, you know, what is it?
I'm convinced that she will be beside fire-clearing from her depressed acceptance of my answer.
And I have a pretty good idea what Nanase is struggling with.
I've been asked to join the harem, or in this case, is she asking me to join her?
You will be able to see that Nanase is not very pushy.
You will be able to get the best results from your own personal life.
You will be able to get the most out of it.
You understand what happened, but you don't know what to do.
I can't speak because I feel like every action I take, whether it's exasperating or disgusting, is a mistake.
I'm sorry, I've taken the time to do this, but all I can say is...
No, it's fine. No, it's not okay, is it?
".........
It's difficult to come up with a solution to this problem.
You have to be able to ask them if they are okay.
You can't ask Nanase if she's okay under such circumstances, so she came to talk to me because she is worried.
The sound of Kaido's battle is strangely quiet here.
"I'm not okay, sir.
"Well, ........., so what. Should I contact Kitamiya?
A sand castle that looks like it's about to fall down.
That's probably Nanase's current condition.
You're groping for answers.
Normally, there would be no need to go this far, but leaving your opponent vulnerable in front of you makes it worse.
As a result, you have no choice but to let them choose.
"But what do I say to you, Kako-chan?
"He's got a certain amount of respect for what happened. He may care about it, but he won't get rid of it at the door.
Is it because of that guilt that he came to me when he had someone else to rely on?
It's true that Kitamiya's hat is more suitable for the job than me as a man.
It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it, but if you suggest it with half a wish, Nanase's face relaxes for the first time, as if she is relieved.
It's a good idea to have a good time.
"Yes,
I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it," he replied, waving an unlit cigarette in one hand.
I wish this was the end of Nanase's business, but unfortunately for Nanase, the future is more important to me.
Honestly, it's good timing for me that Nanase talked to me at that point in time.
I'll take care of my own schedule.
So, Nanase, I'm sorry, but there's one thing I want to ask you, okay?
"Yes, what is it?
"The woman beside Fire Clear is a guy named Kawasaki Midori?
!
If you're having a fit, it means you can't leave it unattended.
I have a feeling I'm going to do something.
I've always had a feeling that you're going to do something.
"Okay, your face is kind of the answer on its own. Thanks.
"Well, uh . You're welcome?
By the way, have you heard that Kawasaki is doing anything else besides messing around with hazelnut?
"What is it? What exactly?
"Oh, no, I'd say whatever is broad or .........
Groping in your head for example and concrete examples to figure it out.
The behavior I can expect from the character of Midori Kawasaki that I know.
And the information I heard from Hands and Memoria.
These two perspectives and Nanase's consultation.
I think about what I'm going to do by connecting these three points.
"Have you been in contact with any other testers? More specifically, only fire clarity.
"Well, I think we've been interacting more and more lately,
"Per, or
As I suspected, they were working on two sides.
Kawasaki was handling the demon king's army side and Hizumi was handling the dungeon tester side.
But perhaps the core was Kawasaki.
What's the goal, it's definitely to establish a position.
"No, is that part of the process?
Tanaka-san?
But the idea makes me uncomfortable.
I believe there is nothing wrong with this idea.
There is something missing.
I think this conclusion is lacking.
Nanase responds to my spilled words, but I wave my hand back and say it's nothing, pausing to think about what Kawasaki's purpose is.
......... Is that Toru-kun involved in something strange?
I honestly don't know if I'm involved in anything weird, but I do know I'm in trouble.
But even if it's nothing, the story you care about matters.
If it's about someone you know, and even more so if it's about your girlfriend.
So I don't hide my thoughts and answer Nanase honestly.
"What's the bother?
Nanase asks me with a look of relief gone, her anxiety returning.
But unfortunately, I don't have an answer for her.
"Well, the way things are going, it's something you would hide from Nanase as well. The man who is rushing through the streets has a self-righteous thought that it is better to keep quiet. You're under the delusion that it'll be all right in the end. That's often the case. Maybe not that guy, but if that's the case, I'm sorry to say I'm not equipped to see through his thoughts. My inner thoughts never leave the realm of conjecture.
I'm sure.
But no proof.
I think that's enough.
Now we can decide on a course of action.
"What can you do but talk with Kitamiya and slap the man who is running around like a boar on the cheek to stop him?
And this is all I can do for Nanase.
I'll leave the rest to Kitamiya.
As a thank you for the information, I'll give you a last piece of advice from a man's point of view.
Senpai! We've cleaned out all the enemies around here, but it's still going to take some time!
I didn't smoke, but I still got enough information.
It's over, I'll kick your ass on the way home, you can get some rest.
"Whoa! It's nice to be able to relax.
And if you ask Nanase if it's okay to finish, she nods back.
So I'll tell Kaido who came back at the right time.
You know what? Thank you so much for today.
"I haven't done anything to be thanked for it, though.
Still, just listening to me made it a lot easier.
Let the rest of the story be in the North Palace.
"Yes.
Then I nodded to Nanase, who had a somewhat refreshed expression on her face, and headed for the dungeon's exit.
Now, let's see what we can do first.
"What did you say, senior?
I'm talking to myself.
With Nanase and Kaido in tow, they pondered what to do in the future.
Word of the Day
The hassle is always there, the question is how much of that hassle can be reduced.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Um, why is it here?
"Well, partly because of the urgency and lack of a good place to talk, but also because I think it's a pretty great place to be out of the public eye. Unsupervised, no one comes. I can't think of a better place in the company to have a private conversation than here, in my opinion.

So if you don't have to worry about the enemy attacking you, there's no chance of Kaido losing on this level."Ha, ha.I decided to change the destination and bring him to the dungeon for a chat.I'm sure there's someplace a little different, but there's no conference room to hold it in.But I couldn't take him to my room, Kaido's room, or the party room.In a way, I brought her to the Kiroku's dungeon as a last resort.There are thirty-two levels.As background music, you can hear Kaido's strange voice and the sound of something slashing against the sound of kicking and crushing blows because he's fighting a golem.Hoorcher!You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for in a dungeon.This is not a simulated space that you can experience in a training room, but a real dungeon that is your everyday workplace.Naturally, monsters wander around and there are traps, so it's understandable to be wary.I know that you are dressed to enter the dungeon, so I know you can defend yourself.I'll be able to handle it if anything goes wrong.And then?What's the story?You may talk about wanting to be reassured, but I guess it's not what you're feeling.You can't help but be wary.But unfortunately, it's the same here.We're not that close to Nanase, we're just Kitamiya's acquaintances.Our reason for agreeing to talk comes from a selfish desire to get information.I'm willing to listen to you, but we must be careful too.That's why we've chosen this place as a place where we can be wary of each other.You never know who is talking to whom in the dungeon.Even if we were seen in the dungeon together, we could claim it was just a coincidence and if push came to shove, we could say it was our job.So you'll be able to cut to the chase without paying attention to the battles around you.Let's see... ........."You have to go out of your way to ambush me to tell me this, right?"......... yesThere is a reason why you have arranged this much and still hesitate, but we can't stay with her forever either.I have time for work, and talking to her for a long time is going to cause some problems.So when I pointed out that I was waiting to give you the opportunity to move the conversation forward, she quickly looked up and began to speak."To tell you the truth, I have something to discuss with you about Toru-kun."Fire Clear?And I knew that if Nanase was going to talk to me about it, it would be about Hikarumi.I asked her about it outright, but inwardly I wondered if she was right.You'll be able to find out the reason why you're looking for advice because you're stuck at work.If possible, I would have preferred you to go that way, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working out."If it were true, I thought it would be better to talk to Karen, but we haven't been able to reconcile yet after what happened before."Okay.The name of Kitamiya was mentioned, and my mood dropped a little bit as if it was a story of love."Lately, Toru-kun has been acting strangely.Funny, how?It's just that I'm in too different of a field to be able to deal with something like dating advice from a woman who is a little older than me.I question why it's me, and I agree with her.I hope the conversation goes well, and I listen with some trepidation.She was a little down before, but she's been upbeat lately.Isn't that a good thing?It's good that she's getting better, but she's getting better in a strange way. It's different from the past Toru-kun, or, yes, his sense of justice has become strangely strong."Justice? I got the feeling that he had a serious personality before.And as the story goes on, the clouds are starting to lift.Yes, he was serious, but he wasn't the kind of person who would force his ideas on you. He would push his ideas out like this is the right thing to do and you should do it too.That's certainly odd.The fire clearing I remember was definitely an upright man, but he wasn't arrogant.Maybe there's something wrong with him."What isI don't know, but if there's something to change my mind, I'll know.If he has changed, there must be a good reason for that.It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get the most out of it."Um, ........."Oh.When I glanced away from you earlier, you looked at me, and then you looked away again.After a few minutes of this repetition, I was mentally exhausted by the lack of progress in the conversation.I don't know if this is relationship advice or not, but I'm sure I'm doing something unfamiliar, and I honestly can't help but feel jealous of Kaido's rampage.Although I can't help but feel annoyed, I can still put up with the frustration if I think there's a reason for it.But if that's possible, please move on."Its ........."Yes.However, Nanase doesn't seem to cut to the chase.In fact, her voice is getting quieter and quieter, to the point where I fear I would miss it if it weren't reinforced.Isn't her goal to buy time? You can't help but start thinking, "What the hell is the purpose of this?And what the hell is the purpose of it all, and it's time for the gestalt to collapse.Mr. Tanaka."Okay, okay, here's Mr. Tanaka.Just when the palaver was starting to wear thin."Do men like harems?"Okay, okay, Harlem. ......... Harlem?"Yes, Harlem isFinally, the question was asked if men like harems.I was going to answer the question without any hesitation, but I was already thinking of attacking the dungeon as a battle training, so my response was delayed.It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.......... Oh, it's a harem!"Yes.If you're asking about a harem, I'm certainly the man for the job.It's even better if you're a real-life man with a harem.If this is the reason why you changed, I must answer you, but it's honestly hard to say.And now it's my turn to stammer.What's the sad thing about answering whether or not a woman of your age likes a harem?......... To each his own, right?That's the one, the single-minded one too,And to which side am I replying with this?I can only give you a simple answer and I can say that my feelings are quite complicated.If you ask me if I personally like harems, I can only say that I don't dislike them.But the reality is that there are multiple women around.From the demon king's army's point of view, it's not a problem, but from the Japanese side, it's just a word of abnormality, and yet Nanase skipped the question.I don't need to think about what the hell that means.It could mean that a woman other than Nanase had come out around fire-clearing.You're going to be able to find out what this guy is doing when he caused problems with Kitamiya and Nanase, but you have to hold it together.Is that so?And my answer may not have been the answer Nanase wanted.I don't know whether I should have said I liked her or not."That fire-clearing guy, ah, you know, what is it?I'm convinced that she will be beside fire-clearing from her depressed acceptance of my answer.And I have a pretty good idea what Nanase is struggling with.I've been asked to join the harem, or in this case, is she asking me to join her?You will be able to see that Nanase is not very pushy.You will be able to get the best results from your own personal life.You will be able to get the most out of it.You understand what happened, but you don't know what to do.I can't speak because I feel like every action I take, whether it's exasperating or disgusting, is a mistake.I'm sorry, I've taken the time to do this, but all I can say is...No, it's fine. No, it's not okay, is it?".........It's difficult to come up with a solution to this problem.You have to be able to ask them if they are okay.You can't ask Nanase if she's okay under such circumstances, so she came to talk to me because she is worried.The sound of Kaido's battle is strangely quiet here."I'm not okay, sir."Well, ........., so what. Should I contact Kitamiya?A sand castle that looks like it's about to fall down.That's probably Nanase's current condition.You're groping for answers.Normally, there would be no need to go this far, but leaving your opponent vulnerable in front of you makes it worse.As a result, you have no choice but to let them choose."But what do I say to you, Kako-chan?"He's got a certain amount of respect for what happened. He may care about it, but he won't get rid of it at the door.Is it because of that guilt that he came to me when he had someone else to rely on?It's true that Kitamiya's hat is more suitable for the job than me as a man.It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get away with it, but if you suggest it with half a wish, Nanase's face relaxes for the first time, as if she is relieved.It's a good idea to have a good time."Yes,I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it," he replied, waving an unlit cigarette in one hand.I wish this was the end of Nanase's business, but unfortunately for Nanase, the future is more important to me.Honestly, it's good timing for me that Nanase talked to me at that point in time.I'll take care of my own schedule.So, Nanase, I'm sorry, but there's one thing I want to ask you, okay?"Yes, what is it?"The woman beside Fire Clear is a guy named Kawasaki Midori?!If you're having a fit, it means you can't leave it unattended.I have a feeling I'm going to do something.I've always had a feeling that you're going to do something."Okay, your face is kind of the answer on its own. Thanks."Well, uh . You're welcome?By the way, have you heard that Kawasaki is doing anything else besides messing around with hazelnut?"What is it?What exactly?"Oh, no, I'd say whatever is broad or .........Groping in your head for example and concrete examples to figure it out.The behavior I can expect from the character of Midori Kawasaki that I know.And the information I heard from Hands and Memoria.These two perspectives and Nanase's consultation.I think about what I'm going to do by connecting these three points."Have you been in contact with any other testers?More specifically, only fire clarity."Well, I think we've been interacting more and more lately,"Per, orAs I suspected, they were working on two sides.Kawasaki was handling the demon king's army side and Hizumi was handling the dungeon tester side.But perhaps the core was Kawasaki.What's the goal, it's definitely to establish a position."No, is that part of the process?Tanaka-san?But the idea makes me uncomfortable.I believe there is nothing wrong with this idea.There is something missing.I think this conclusion is lacking.Nanase responds to my spilled words, but I wave my hand back and say it's nothing, pausing to think about what Kawasaki's purpose is.......... Is that Toru-kun involved in something strange?I honestly don't know if I'm involved in anything weird, but I do know I'm in trouble.But even if it's nothing, the story you care about matters.If it's about someone you know, and even more so if it's about your girlfriend.So I don't hide my thoughts and answer Nanase honestly."What's the bother?Nanase asks me with a look of relief gone, her anxiety returning.But unfortunately, I don't have an answer for her."Well, the way things are going, it's something you would hide from Nanase as well. The man who is rushing through the streets has a self-righteous thought that it is better to keep quiet. You're under the delusion that it'll be all right in the end. That's often the case. Maybe not that guy, but if that's the case, I'm sorry to say I'm not equipped to see through his thoughts. My inner thoughts never leave the realm of conjecture.I'm sure.But no proof.I think that's enough.Now we can decide on a course of action."What can you do but talk with Kitamiya and slap the man who is running around like a boar on the cheek to stop him?And this is all I can do for Nanase.I'll leave the rest to Kitamiya.As a thank you for the information, I'll give you a last piece of advice from a man's point of view.Senpai!We've cleaned out all the enemies around here, but it's still going to take some time!I didn't smoke, but I still got enough information.It's over, I'll kick your ass on the way home, you can get some rest."Whoa!It's nice to be able to relax.And if you ask Nanase if it's okay to finish, she nods back.So I'll tell Kaido who came back at the right time.You know what?Thank you so much for today."I haven't done anything to be thanked for it, though.Still, just listening to me made it a lot easier.Let the rest of the story be in the North Palace."Yes.Then I nodded to Nanase, who had a somewhat refreshed expression on her face, and headed for the dungeon's exit.Now, let's see what we can do first."What did you say, senior?I'm talking to myself.With Nanase and Kaido in tow, they pondered what to do in the future.Word of the DayThe hassle is always there, the question is how much of that hassle can be reduced.
