Chapter 336: 327 It's better to be a little noisy when talking behind closed doors without anyone knowing it

The welcome party for the newcomers is over without a hitch.

Even if it wasn't a drinking and singing extravaganza, the tension was lifted by the end, and the faces of those who talked to each other with drinks in hand were memorable.

So what's the reason for leaving me alone? I have a bad feeling about this.

And while it's not exactly the quiet after the party, the air afterwards is naturally quiet.

As we had been drinking until quite late, all the members except me and the non-drinking men were ready to leave, and I, with my liver trained by Kio's instructors, saw Suela, Himik and Memoria off and went to the after-party.

This time it's not a tavern like before, but a quiet bar that suits Evvia and Instructor Fusio, but not Amiri and Instructor Kio.

'Huh? And is there any basis for that bad feeling?

I wouldn't be so cautious if it was just a four-man team, but I know there's something in there as soon as you enter the store and the bill changes to closed, instructor.

"Kaka kaka, I'm looking at you.

If I hadn't seen it, I would have naturally developed my observation skills in that area. Somebody somewhere has taught me that it's not just about dungeons, either.

It's a good trend, man.

"Affirmation, observation is important

In the center of the room is Evvia on my right and Amiri on her right.

To my left is Instructor Fusio and Instructor Kio, each drinking a glass of wine.

In my hand is not the mug of beer I was drinking, but a glass of dark beer.

I gulped it down and prepared for what was to come.

The fine bubbles and the well-chilled dark beer slipped down my throat to moisten it.

The bittersweet, refreshing mouthfeel is poured down your throat, and then you can anticipate what the four of you are up to.

Then you come up with some ideas, but you abandon them all.

I say there is something going on, but I'm not really that alarmed.

If I had to give a reason for this, it was that if there was any danger, it was because these four would not have the time to go through the trouble of bringing them along.

The reason for the pancakes is simply because they were thirsty, or so to speak.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a few good ones.

And maybe it was because of my attitude.

Evvia, who was slowly sipping the red wine, put her glass on the counter and began to talk to me.

What, it's not so bad, okay?

I'm not sure if I've been bracing myself for this, or if I've just gotten my bearings, but Evvia laughs a little bit and says to me, "It's not a good story, but it's a pattern that leads to a story.

It's not a good story, but it's a pattern of storytelling with words like "however," and then a pattern of storytelling that leads to the rest of the story.

You'll be able to see that you'll be laughing back as a promise, and Evvia nodded with satisfaction.

I can't ask you to be happy, as I'm the one who puts you in charge. It's nice to hear you talk so quickly.

We just don't have the confidence to get away with this siege.

The fact that she mentioned hassle means that she has an ulterior motive.

Although I try to avoid trouble as much as possible.

Not listening to the story is not an option when you enter this store.

So listen carefully and jokingly to what Evvia has to say.

Your promotion is official. The letter will be in next week.

I'd like to hear more about it, if you want to be happy. Who do you belong to, by the way?

And despite what Evvia explains as a hassle, the way it's cut out is usually a good story from a businessman's point of view.

But that's just a normal office worker's story.

A promotion at this company doesn't equal happiness.

So you tell them honestly how you feel, and then ask for details.

"I won't be removing you from the tester list. You'll stay in the dungeon tester section.

So it's a bit like taking over for Suela, isn't it?

Evvia nodded and began to explain the details, taking my attitude for granted.

Putting the glass of wine on the counter, she turns her body towards you.

I'd say not to, but here's the thing.

Suela is about to give birth soon, so keeping her as the head of the dungeon tester section for a long time is going to be a hindrance to our work.

So it's not strange for the new section chief to take that seat.

I thought someone else would take his place, but I didn't think I'd be chosen.

But Evvia's implications bothered me.

"You'll be the head of the first section of the dungeon tester.

"Division? Does that mean there are two sections or something?

And the implication was that the department had a word that hadn't been there before: "Yes, we're splitting up the testers because of the new recruits.

Yes, we're splitting up our testers with the new recruits.

"There's a reason, right? And it's the kind of thing that cuts down on the part of the person who was free to do it before.

"Of course.

And the divisional affiliations mean that the way we do things changes from section to section.

Above all, dungeon testers have operated as adventurers in a sense, like those in fantasy novels.

The possibility of changing that classification has emerged.

In the case of different sales departments, they are divided into different sections based on the genre of the product they handle, or whether they are dealing with the international or domestic market.

You may have to divide the dungeons to be conquered to improve efficiency?

"I would give two broad reasons. The first is to deliberately create a sense of distinction by dividing the organization.

"Distinctive awareness?

"Dear Lord, creatures are a strange thing. Distinguishing between them gives rise to a variety of emotions.

That awareness alone that is different from others can broaden the reasons for action. . an idea, an idea, a rationale, or a feeling of doubt.

Here's the fun part. It's about what comes out of it, but it usually sparks the competitive spirit.

To the reasons given by Evvia, Instructor Fusio, Ms. Amiri and Instructor Kio explain as a series.

You mean to create a competitive society? But isn't it ever the same? Because dungeon testers have been competing in a way,

The meaning of Jiro's words alone is meaningless. The aspect of rivalry was certainly there, but that's as far as it goes. It's not a fundamental solution. Rivalry between a few people will produce nothing.

The subdivision is meant to provide a place for the company to compete.

That in itself makes sense, but the reasons for doing it at this point in time are unconvincing.

That's where we misread it. In our world, if left unchecked, we would compete aggressively and kick others to the curb. But we have underestimated the ideology of this country. Pacifism, it sounds nice, but it's not really conducive to competition.

And here is a difference in cultural norms.

Affirmation, we have been fighting for many years, but we have not fought in this country for a long time. The word peaceful is attached as a prerequisite to a fundamentally violent struggle as an evil. That is the fetters.

"There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a hindrance in this business. That's why I give it to you. It's a cause.

The instructors' thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer.

For the past year, we dungeon testers have been trying to conquer the dungeon at our own pace.

The others were secondary, so to speak, and we weren't even aware of a clear competitor.

Certainly, there was a time when we worked hard out of frustration at being beaten, but other than that, we didn't pay much attention to it.

"Is it in the name of the job?

What happens when you are asked to beat another department at work?

There will be a greater or lesser degree of motivation.

After all, your job is to beat others, and beating others makes a difference in your reputation.

And if you have more allies besides your party, you have a wider field of action.

That's the way it is. Of course, I will severely punish any sabotage, directly or indirectly. We don't want to get dragged into the quagmire.

It's all about competition. Well, I'm curious about the bait, but what are you going to prepare? Nothing is ever the same without it.

I understand the policy.

But here's the question that arises.

If you want them to compete, you have to give them a reason to compete.

For lack of a better metaphor, just as different countries go after one another for rich land in a war, we need bait to make people think this is why we testers do our jobs.

That's what a salary is supposed to do.

But it just seems to me that it's weak.

Status and honor feel unnecessary to some people.

But then again, some people wouldn't want the usual treasures and princesses of fantasy.

Evvia and her friends grinned at that question.

Here's the dungeon.

"Huh?

And I feel like I've heard something impossible.

"It wasn't a misunderstanding or a miscommunication. The Witch King said the best section would be given the right to run the dungeon.

"Huh!

With a clatter, I stood up vigorously.

In a way, it was more annoying than all the rewards I'd collected, but when you think about it, it's a hell of a thing to be handed over.

Is this what it means to be taken by surprise?

The thing is,

"I'm not saying we're going to give him the title of general any time soon, but I'm sure that's what we'll be doing in the future.

"Ha, ha, ha, seriously?

Rank, honor, and fortune.

This is the kind of reward that makes you want to call it the Warring States period of success.

I even thought that giving you a dungeon that establishes a clear world and not just a peerage is in a way the best reward in the demon king's army.

It doesn't look like Evvia and her friends are lying.

In other words, it's reality.

You sit down in your chair, relaxed and relaxed.

"You did a good job convincing people.

"You're the one who convinced me.

"Huh?

I said, "You gave the demon king wounds. There are only a few people in the Demon King's army that can be hurt by him. You better believe that the weight of that fact is more important than you think, Jiro.

And it's funny because I'm the one who convinced people of that right.

Don't let your guard down just because it's been accepted, it's not unanimous. The remaining two and three sections will be manned by future potential generals selected from the Demon King's army.

But it's Evvia who won't let you laugh there.

Remember to nail it on the head.

But I just can't help but laugh.

I was filled with a desire to show the past me how far people can go in just one year.

That overflowing feeling turned into a smile as I said, "This is a promotion celebration.

"So, I guess we're just celebrating a promotion and giving you a pep talk to remind you not to do anything bad?

I think I had a natural smile on my face as I grinned and enjoyed the fight like an instructor.

"Hmm, is that what it takes?

"There is no denying the fact that this place has its implications.

"We're the endorsers, so why don't you stop rubbing your face in it?

That's what I'm talking about, work hard.

That's a lot of pressure to take on.

That belligerent smile was returned, also a belligerent smile.

Fusio instructor's smile, which is a question mark but still clearly affirmative.

It looks emotionless and inorganic, but the mouth is slightly smiling and looking at me with a provocative gaze that doesn't go to the drink, Amiri.

The fierce, big smile of Instructor Kio as if to say that's the only word left.

And Evvia, sharp as a blade, but with a superior smile to encourage you to come up here.

Encouraged by all four of their smiles, I couldn't honestly say I'll do my best, so I had to say it in a slightly perverse way.

But they nodded their heads as if they were satisfied with that.

"We understand and agree. Then I will feel free to have a drink with you today.

"But what?

What's another general reason?

Yeah, that's it. I heard a couple of guys have some interesting ideas, and I'd like to help them out.

"Two? Who is this?

"Shiretoko Minami, Kawasaki Midori, you know? The clan plan was? Utilize that plan to your heart's content.

And I have to chuckle at one of the reasons why I ended up drinking in this place.

It's not exactly what you're doing, but you don't think that two people looking in different directions will achieve the same thing.

You don't know if the drink will taste good or be bitter tonight.

But for now.

I'll let you do that.

Let's poke a pint of black beer in front of you.

I'm not going to let the excitement subside.

Word of the Day

I don't know what will trigger it.
