I opened the door, and I was like, "What a mess.

It's a bit bleak.

To think that this is the last hall, it's like I've been shrugged off.

Well, you came here without even looking at the beginning, let alone the middle of it, so you don't know about any other halls.

It's not dim, but it's not bright either.

There is no supposed to be a light source, yet the innermost hall, which is clearly visible, is just a vast cobblestone plaza with no ceiling or walls to be seen.

...... is easy to understand.

"Is it easy to understand ......?

I said it was a bit bleak, but Suela seems to have caught the other party's intent.

Unfortunately I don't understand the intentions behind this just plain wide space.

The guardian of this hall is Master Evvia. The guardian of this hall is Master Evia.

"Oohhhhh, the perfect place to give it your all.

That makes sense.

It's better to fight your way out here than to just set up a trap or a poorly placed guardian.

There are no obstacles, no nothing.

A space that was designed only for head-to-head combat.

The instructor's words finally made me understand his intentions.

And I do.

Where's the guy you're after? I can't see you.

It's funny.

There's no sign of the opponent.

The three of us with the instructor are walking toward the back of the room, but there's no sign of him, or even a sign of him.

I can't tell if they're hiding or not, or if they don't even exist.

There's no way that the last defense battle was empty after all this fighting.

That's why I'm trying not to step in without letting my guard down.

"Hmm? Don't you hear something?

You hear that?

I hear you.

I can hear you.

At first, it was whispering, and then it got louder and louder, and at first I thought it was my imagination, but if the other members, including me, could hear it, it was not just an auditory hallucination.

Rather

"What, what's up with that member! I didn't hear that... I didn't hear that you're dealing with a general! That idiot sister, what a cushy job to deal with a lower class! Humans alone, dark elves, vampires, and eventually the demon king! I was prepared to deal with a human, and now everything is pah! Shit! I should have questioned the paycheck first! There is no way that sister would pay that much for a cushy job! Ah! At the time, I was like, oh, this job is good, isn't it? Now you can go to two places you thought you couldn't go this month, right? What kind of flowery thinking you've been doing, you want to punch me in the face?

Even if this is just a hallucination, I don't want to have this kind of hallucination.

The new employee who was shown the reality that the workplace was homey with good salary and good job description when he entered the company thinking it was a good company with good pay and good quality of work was completely black when he entered the company reminds me of my past.

Maybe they were using some kind of cover-up magic.

But the more I thought about it calmly, the more I realized that I was under pressure, and my thoughts were spinning and spinning and spinning out of control.

Thanks to this, your voice is still invisible, but it's leaking out like this at a good volume.

What do you do? Run away (or ditch)? No, definitely not later, my sister will close me down. Most importantly, I don't want to not get paid! Fight then? No, there's no way I can win when the general is here. Then you might as well get down on your knees and beg for your life to take you by surprise. No, and if you take one of the women as a hostage, you have a good chance of winning, right? I'm going to have a chance to win with my soft-skinned, whipped body, and I'm going to have a chance to win with my soft-skinned, whipped body, and I'm going to have a chance to win with my soft-skinned, whipped body.

"Oh, sorry Jiro, I'm going home.

Can you at least punch him in the face before you leave?

"It's too much trouble. You can take care of the rest.

"You're in charge: ...... instructor, wow, he's really gone!

I couldn't see any way to stop the instructor, who was waving his hand behind his back as he declared, and left the scene, and I couldn't see any reason to keep him in the air.

The quality of the enemy has been improving, but the quality of the boss at the end is so bad that it's like something out of a trifecta novel.

Despite the fact that your forces have dropped dramatically, you're less worried than before.

"The least you can do is to say that your opponent is weak? In fact, does that guy look strong in the eyes of Suela and her friends?

It's weak.

The tools are powerful, but the user is inexperienced, right?

Memoria and Suela answered softly, but they are both saying the same thing, right?

We're looking firmly at the tip of the voice, or perhaps it's because the magic is gradually disappearing, at a translucent figure.

...... Yeah, maybe it's because of my lack of training, but did the supervisor lose to that?

"...... probably.

"......

"Oh, my God. I want to go home. Why am I here in the first place? My sister is so good, I don't have to worry about taking over the house, so hey! My plan was to study hard enough to be able to prepare myself for the rest of my life, but where did the plan go wrong?

I'm not the only one who thought the word impossible.

You're depressed when you feel fine, screaming when you feel depressed, and crying when you feel angry.

Quite frankly, you look weaker than me.

How in the world can this emotionally unstable man beat the supervisor?

"Attack, right? To begin with, what is the enemy, right?

"Since you asked me earlier if I wanted to fight you myself,

We'd be better off with early suppression.

"I know.

I walk slowly up to them.

I'm cautiously approaching, but it seems that the other party, despite the fact that he was concentrating his thoughts on us earlier, doesn't seem to be paying attention to us anymore.

"Huh? Heb!

"Eh.

"You can't see me!

"You're realizing that now?

I thought I would be able to hold it in by punching it away, but it was so honestly blown up that I almost called it weak, but I could hold it in with just a whimper.

Maybe there's some kind of secret plan.

EEI! I have to do it when I have to! I will kill all of you!

You can take out your staff and hold it up, but you look like a conductor of an orchestra, and there are a lot of gaps for a fighter.

You should not pull out the mineral tree, thinking that it is an invitation, and even that could be a trap.

Then you'd better be quick to crush the whole plan.

Wait, Guffo!

"Weak!

"You're a demon that the vanguard is going to hit the rear guard?

"Don't tell me the devil, lately I've been wondering too, but I'm just categorically human.

This concern seems to be unfounded, but with just one shot, or even the second if you include the first, the man in front of you will roll to the ground again.

And, just to be clear, there are beings in the rear guard that can kill the vanguard like Suela.

It's called laziness.

That's why we can easily punch them out like this.

Huh? Shall we get this over with?

What are you going to do? Don't hit me! Ouch!  Give give, give, give, give! Stop! My body is not that soft! I mean! How can you, a human, be so powerful? Me! That's still the devil!

That's because you're too poor.

I didn't think I'd ever be able to subdue a demon with jointed techniques.

I grabbed him by the chest and got him up and gave him a shot to the face, and it just went on from there.

I knew it was not right to cut him down with the mineral tree, so I beat him up and hit him in the face with my arm.

Even if he's stronger than I am, it's not so easy to undo him.

Well, he doesn't have much muscle tone from the feel of his arms, and I don't think he's stronger than me with his bare muscles.

And...

"Ah! What the hell you're touching my body! You're not going to suck my blood, vampire!

"It looks bad, no thanks.

"Quick answer!

Here it is. It's a magical warding tool, but it's a pretty good one to use.

"Ah! It! Give it back! My sister will kill me if I lose it!

"How often do you scream at your captors, what else did this guy have on him?

"Two small wands, eight summoning mediums, ten healing potions, fifteen wardrobe talismans, and one transference stone, probably for escape. They're all goodies and magic bags, so there's more to come. It sounds like he's got some serious wealth.

"How are you a bomber, what's wrong with you, Suela, look at his face.

No, he looks familiar. What's your name?

If only the tools are confiscated, the degree of amazement can be lowered to the general level, although by fantasy standards.

It will be seen by Memoria, who runs a tool shop.

A connoisseur's eye is a good judge of character.

And Suela seems to be somehow trapped by the demon man she subdued at Suela.

"Well, I don't know what I'd do if I could, but I'd be happy to do it.

So, Jiro, let's try again, this time from a different angle, please.

"Hi!"?

"Old TV?

You can't say anything, but you can't help but laugh at Suera's method.

Well, you can't help but scream if you're the one being hit.

You can't help but raise your arms in the air because you want information.

"Ha, such a foolish brother, but he is my family, and you can't hurt me any more.

I've never heard such a deep, emotional sigh.

I pause at the words that follow.

"Supervisor!

"Master Evvia, I knew it was her.

"Ah, Nord Nordis. Reluctantly, my people.

I didn't expect to be stopped by the person I thought I was holding.

Aneki~

No, just hit me in the face and shut me up.

"Sister!

He'll suggest it when he thinks he's stopped, but that's a terrible idea, so I'm not going to hit him.

"Superintendent, didn't you get caught?

Yeah, that was the plan, but thanks to his mismanagement, the plan is over.

"Plan?

"Get it over with.

Then, after a headache and a shake of the head gesture, the supervisor quickly deploys a magic circle.

"All employees in the company are informed. Situation over. I repeat, situation is over. Summer payroll review is over. All personnel, terminate the battle immediately and proceed to cleanup.

Now what did this devil say?

If my ears hadn't been made stupid by combat, it would have sounded like a clear payroll assessment.

I hope I heard wrong.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Hey humans! Don't put any effort into it! Oh, I'm sorry, could you loosen up a bit more?

Let's just be quiet for a minute, or you'll get all worked up.

Okay, let's calmly reflect on the situation.

From the power outage, report the attack, and then set out to subdue and liberate it.

Then you fight the instructor's daughter and arrive at your destination, where you come in contact with what you believe to be the final boss, but he's a small fish.

When you subdue him, the result is a salary assessment ...... Yeah, the second half of the game is out of place.

Did you know that Suela?

No, my information only tells me that there really was a rebellion.

"I'm the same.

Of course, only a few people in the company know about this, including me.

What do you mean?

I'll explain it to you now.

With that tone of voice, the supervisor, who closed the communication magic, began to speak.

Another side

So it was a surprise inspection of the entire staff.

They look at me suspiciously, wondering what I'm talking about.

You're hurting my sister.

That's why I didn't want to do it.

Let's go back to about a month ago.

"I am the auditor?

Yeah, I'll let you do it this time.

I received a call from Evvia-sama individually, and when I went to the small meeting room to see if I had made a mistake, what I found was a notice of appointment to conduct an audit of the summer salary (bonus) appraisal.

The content of the audit will focus on how well you can cooperate with other species in an emergency or if not, how well you can build a close relationship with them in the company where humans and demons are currently mixed.

The testers, who were groping in the beginning, have recently gotten used to it, and their attitude is noticeable.

This attitude is especially noticeable toward less powerful species such as goblins.

The supervisor thought it was a good idea to give the testers a bonus as he was receiving such reports.

The opposite is also true, and they are going to judge whether we are treating them equally, or whether we are working without discrimination, depending on how we respond to the emergency.

And I kind of understand why you brought this up to me and not to Suela.

I have to say, I'm pretty good with people.

I have a certain line of demarcation with everyone at first.

On the other hand, Suela isn't so good at that kind of line.

I don't have any preconceptions, but I'm driven by emotion.

Still, you've been promoted, so that means you're good at your job and you're serious.

But I'm not cut out to work behind the scenes like this.

I understand.

Now that you've listened to me, I know that Master Evia is telling you to do it.

Refusal is not an option.

Fortunately, I have other people on hand to help coordinate the workload so we have time to plan.

Best of all, I've been told that the people who participate in the audit will get a little extra bonus, so I have no reason to refuse.

Well, I regretted it afterwards.

It's more work than a normal job!

To adjust the schedule for the day, request the dispatch of personnel from the home country, prepare magical tools to be changed into magical bodies so that the dispatched personnel are not injured, adjust the concentration of magical power within the company, bring forward work to avoid interfering with daily operations in anticipation of a long battle, and assign personnel appropriately to ensure that the key audit goes well. The information manipulation should also be prepared in advance to avoid detection.

It was hard for me to do this without feeling uncomfortable until the day of the event.

So that's why your sister had a hard time.

""Wow!"

I could have used a few more words of encouragement there.

Here you go, I've only got water.

Thank you.

My targets were Jiro's party and the surrounding employees, and of course the auditors were in the midst of the captors, and there were also auditors in the dispatch group.

Nevertheless, it was definitely a pain in the ass.

Well, since this is the last time you'll be doing this kind of audit, you should just give up and think you had a good experience.

Another side END

"That's why

I finally understood what I thought was unnatural. I understand, but ......

"Not convinced, right?

Yes.

What I wondered most about this battle was the bleeding of my opponent.

I felt as if I was fighting against a soul, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was as capable as Blood's. There were other gestures that seemed to concern us.

There were other gestures as well, as if they were concerned about us.

It's just a rough idea, but when I heard the summary, I was able to understand the unrealistic salary audit method and my doubts were cleared up.

But the otherworldly way of doing things was so novel that my mind couldn't catch up with it, which left me with a sense of disappointment, like a fish bone in my throat.

Ouch!

My most regrettable mistake, though, was letting this guy take the lead.

I think my sister forced you to do it.

If father hadn't told me what to do, I wouldn't have given you the command, because you didn't work hard enough at home. So take this opportunity to learn to work a little more.

"Eh.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend.

You will be able to find out what you are looking for, and you will be able to find it. We got into a battle.

Lucky for us and unlucky for him.

One way or the other.

"I'm going to take tomorrow off, definitely off.

"Will my leave request pass?

"Tomorrow is a special holiday.

I wish they would never do this kind of slapdash, salary assessment again.
