Another side

Then we're done with this one?

MAOcorporation's top floor conference room, where top managers unrelated to the military service (dungeon) were holding meetings.

A demon king is sitting at the top seat, smiling and talking happily.

Next to him is Evvia, who manages the images projected by magic.

The content of the video is the result of a personnel reorganization, the results of an earlier unannounced audit, which resulted in several staffing changes.

The contents are written down in the video.

The expressions on the faces of the demon king who didn't see it and the executives who saw it are diametrically opposed.

The majority of the executives, all of them demons, not a single human.

Their gazes sometimes look at the image, even at one point in the image.

"Your Majesty, that human certainly has a track record. But isn't it too early?

"Hmm, what's the problem?

"Our history has not been one of conflict with man, and I fear we would have unpleasant problems if we were to include man in it.

The old dragon points out that we're not talking about any important positions.

If we were talking about positions above the chief and plain.

Normally, there would be no need to overreact, but all the people here, with the exception of the demon king and Evvia, are neither careless nor insulting, and their words are carried in their eyes.

I've heard that he's getting along well with our employees and, to a lesser extent, the goblins?

"It's only on the surface, man is cunning and cruel, you don't know what's in his heart.

If you only listen to this conversation, it would be composed of the demon king telling his subordinates that he is fine because they are getting along, and advising them to be more careful, but I wonder how many of those words would be real advice.

In Evvia's gaze, or rather, from the nature of the demon, it's easy to understand that the majority of the members here are averse to having a foreigner called a human being among their people.

And they are slightly afraid that their foothold, their position, will be threatened.

She has the ability, but she doesn't say it, but Evvia inwardly whispers that she's getting old.

Evvia can assure you that this is not possible if you deal with it properly.

He has ambition, but not ambition.

In fact, the man under discussion here has a character that would be much happier if only he had the promise of a reward.

Knowing that, it's easy for her to dismiss her concerns here as moot.

Hmmm, to sum up your words, he's the only one who disagrees, isn't he? But it is inscrutable. He followed our reasoning and showed his power in this conspiracy. then you, as the witch king, must respond to that power. And what do you think about that?

""......"

There's no need to refuse.

The demon king's army is a meritocracy and will use anyone who has proven their abilities, no matter what kind of being they are.

It will never go away as long as there is an unwavering presence who has risen to the top not by blood but by merit.

Besides...

"But

"Yeah, if it's not reasonable, reject it.

This demon king, who looks like a young, inexperienced young president, is a good young man with a smile on his face, but in reality, he is able to penetrate the inner thoughts of his partner.

It is also a good idea to avoid wasting time on human subjects who are secretly wondering why there is a better demon race than them.

I'd like to say that, but then I'm just being selfish. All right, here's what we'll do then. I'll let you choose the men who can fit into the position. If you were better, you'd be sorry to give him the seat back.

The demon king with a smile and a compromise plan, the past demon king was, at best, a bundle of leadership, at worst, a dictator.

Thus, he listened to his subjects' opinions and never bent them.

Whether that's good or bad is not relevant now.

All I can say is.

Hmmm, is that about right?

"is appropriate

The demon king did not make the suggestion just now out of kindness or goodness.

The meeting ended with the other board members showing their understanding of the demon king's words, slowly walking down the corridor, murmuring to the demoness walking behind the demon king, a gesture of confirmation.

This way they have no excuse. For our part, it doesn't matter if he stays in his seat or gets swapped out.

"Although there may be some complaints from the testers,

I'm sure you know what you're talking about. I'm sure there's no better cog in the Demon King's Army than that in the newly established department.

The demon king is convinced that their election will be fruitless.

Their election would be a labour of love, but even if it ended in a labour of love for them, the demon king could show that he had given them one chance to redress their grievances.

From the side, it's like a battle for the chair, and you don't know who will be seated in that seat, but to the Demon King, he can say with a certainty as if the future is fixed.

"Well, what's next on the agenda?

"Please settle the paperwork in your room.

"Hmmm, can't I run away?

If you would like to add three more mountains to the list

That's a bad idea.

She didn't chase the Demon King who literally ran away long ago because she didn't like the paperwork, but went on with her work and by the time the Demon King came back, she was waiting for him with literally four mountains of paper.

When the demon king tried to escape again, she said a few words to him

The next three are

Even the witch king did not ask what.

You could have known without asking.

But what was amazing was her ability to stop the demon king's movement with a single word.

It was a novel way to stop the top-ranked warrior without telling him not to run or work.

There's no escaping from the demon king.

How ironic that the demon king can't run away from his papers.

"Did you get my letter of appointment yet?

The departments will be notified tomorrow.

"Hmm, I wonder what he'll look like?

"......

Most of the recent audit was staged by the demon king, who planned and directed the act.

It is unheard of to try and strengthen the defense (dungeon) to prevent the brave candidates from being brave, and there are no achievements.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in work efficiency and organization.

This reorganization and the opening of the new department is part of it.

Well, I'll see where he works next time, but Evvia, could you do a little less paperwork?

"It's a new business and there's a lot of unfamiliarity with it, so we'll be around for a while longer.

Huh, why didn't my predecessor put a lot of effort into training the Home Secretary?

Grieving won't make the pile of paperwork go away.

"Hmmm... It's too much trouble, let's just use body strengthening magic to get rid of it all at once.

"Remember the other day when you did that and let loose a sneeze and turned a document into confetti?

"Hahaha, maybe I'll have the development department make some paper that won't tear when I sneeze.

"The door made by the giants is a sneeze proof paper with the power of cracked doors?

Yeah, you can't.

You'll be able to get the most out of it.

It's not just a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's not that you can't see the difference between the two, but you can see the difference in the cost and the time it takes to make such a thing.

''Hmm... Are there any other departments that need to be improved?

Ostensibly, the departments are generally OK, but there is a noticeable overload of concurrent work in the Commercial District, Development Department and Materials Department. We may need to divide up the roles a bit.

It's a matter of course, but doing something unfamiliar to you still brings up problems.

Yes, this is the first time for us to introduce a corporate system in Japan, so it's a bit of a stretch for us.

"Testers too?

"Ha!

I know, I've never used a human before either.

A new department that came up on the agenda of this meeting, the department to manage testers.

The tester section, a department created under the human resources department.

Originally, the human resources department was responsible for managing all testers, correcting reports, reporting to the development department, distributing initial equipment and other dungeon testers, but the human resources department also had to manage internal and external personnel.

It was when Evvia decided that this was not efficient enough and applied to the King of Magic to improve the environment for the testers.

This is the so-called "tinkering".

"The results of the testers are difficult to grade on a whole. There are some good parts, but the bad parts stand out more. The old man's attention is drawn to that part, too.

"I should have paid a little more attention to the quality.

It's time to wait and see, but if it's going to end like this, it's time to go. I'm not worried about it because you understand that. You've already recruited for a second term, haven't you?

But the act is also an act that drives us off a cliff with the combined assessment of the report and actual progress.

We are still some distance down the cliff, but the cliff's end is in sight.

At that stage, take the trouble.

I know it's necessary, but I can't help but feel that it's still emotionally extravagant.

"Ha, already.

"Okay then.

That's why you should always run around and try to break the ice and get away from the cliff.

It is not a position that you can reach by idleness, such as climbing up to the Demon King's entourage.

This is a seat that will be easily shaken off unless you are good enough to drink tea elegantly on the back of a rampaging bull.

Doing nothing is not an option.

And the demon king's good-bye wasn't just for Evvia.

It was also addressed to the testers who aren't here.

There's a big difference in values between the devil king's men and the Japanese.

A mistake on the job in Japan can be fatal by itself, but it will not necessarily lead to your life.

But the Demon Army is different.

A mistake on the job means death, and if your neck is skinned by the warmth of your heart, you should shed tears and say thank you.

The Japanese who are willing to make mistakes and the demon king's army who are strictly ordered not to make mistakes. The difference between the two is not small.

You cannot survive within this company by simply doing your quota.

It's meaningless if you don't show your value.

There is no tomorrow if you keep saying "but".

I wonder how many of our testers understand that.

At least none of the testers who have quit so far have understood this.

"Wishing isn't the only way to make a wish come true.

"Promotion?

Yes, I received a letter of resignation from Jiro-san in recognition of your last action.

Isn't it early?

When you submit the report from the last audit to Suera in the human resources department, you look at the object handed to you by hand and look at it carefully as if you saw something unbelievable.

Then, recognizing in reality that it is not a fantasy or a surprise, you accept the envelope that probably contains your notice of resignation from Suera and say what you think as you go.

It's not even half a year ago that I joined this company.

If it was a normal company, unless you were well connected and talented, you would not be talking about it.

But this time, instead of talking about it, I've already received the papers.

"The Demon King's Army is a meritocracy, so I can assure you it's not the least bit connected.

Well, then, you'll be happy to know that you've been recognized for your abilities.

By the way, I got a promotion too.

Kaylee, you don't have to jump on the bandwagon anymore.

The mass in his hand was finally real and he wanted to get a little closer to her because she was his boss.

It's a bit of a stretch to dismiss it as vanity, but as any man would think.

You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

The contents of the paper, the title of the position, are captured by the eyes enhanced by the trained status.

"Congratulations on being a section chief.

Thank you. As an added bonus, Suella is getting promoted too. She's a manager, manager. I wonder how much of a managerial allowance I'll get.

It hurts that you won't be able to be vainglorious for a while longer.

But she has risen in the ranks, and the desire to congratulate her is greater than the desire to look good.

Then we should all be celebrating today.

Well, if you can, we'll invite you to eat with us.

Oh, I thought we were going to celebrate in private, but may I interrupt you?

He would sulk if I left you out here. Right, Jiro?

"Oh, I'll tell Kaido and the others that Kaylee will buy all the drinks for the promotion, and the restaurant is Dragonaise.

"Hey! Not the most expensive store in the underground! If you buy that place, your meals this month will be bread ears for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Normally, this is where the most successful Suela buys the drinks!

Then I'll have to make an appointment.

"Suela!

My wallet is getting lighter.

The bullheadedness of the past is nowhere to be seen, and the chisha cat smile has been replaced by the expression of a prisoner in despair.

In the end, Keely finally cries to Suela, asking for mercy, the deputy director, for the betrayal of her best friend.

Kaylie's line is a historical drama, but Suela's response is like a mother's.

"I'm the chief, hmm? ...... tester division? Was there such a department?

The flow from induction to stoppage is a complete match-pump, but as usual, I put that aside and I see the resignation in me.

It's just a few lines of content.

It didn't take me long to read it, and I thought there wasn't anything unusual about it, except for the speedy promotion from level one to chief, but the department I belonged to was the tester section.

As a tester myself, I had never heard of this department, and suddenly my doubts overflowed from my mouth.

Testers are personnel of the human resources department.

And there was no tester section in the personnel department.

Or maybe I remembered wrongly, but

A new department has recently been established. The second group of testers has been hired, and it seems that Mr. Evia has created a department to further educate and facilitate dungeon screening and improve the quality of our testers.

Really, well, it's certainly more efficient.

It doesn't seem so.

You will be comforted by Kaylie's head in a hug, and nodded in agreement with Suela's explanation as she stroked her head and looked at you.

It's true that the response so far was unique.

The human resources department is essentially the department that considers staffing within the company, and can never be said to be the department that assists the personnel to capture the dungeon.

No, I don't know how many companies in the world have dungeons, so I can't say it's different, but it's not very efficient.

It's common for every company to create a specialized department and focus on business, and that's what they do.

So," he said.

What would a chief be responsible for? Or maybe a collection of testers?

You should not be talking like this with your manager, but right now, there are only members of your family around Suera's seat who can be considered your relatives.

You will be able to find a lot more information on this topic in the article.

It's Kaylie's role, and Jiro-san is like a helper. I'm sure you'll be able to help and guide any team (or party) that is stuck in the dungeon.

It's all about leverage, that's the hard part.

That's how much is expected of you.

"You too?

"Yes, of course.

Then we'll let you know what to expect.

You have been entrusted with a very tricky task.

Conquering a dungeon does not happen overnight.

You have to train and fight, acquire skills, scrutinize information, and learn and improve your efficiency.

It's difficult to get to the point where you are stuck in a slump.

First of all, I have to be able to capture the spot.

Second, too much help will lead to a breakdown in the squad's cooperation and dependence on me.

Third, on the other hand, too little will not help you get out of your slump.

You have to find out the pains and itchiness of the situation and intervene appropriately.

In addition to this, you must have contact with personnel that you have been avoiding.

It probably won't work under the guise that I'm here because of Suela's orders.

If I don't always take the initiative and apply to Suela when I think it's necessary, I'm not in a position to make a move.

Just thinking about it is a hassle and a bother.

I just wish you two wouldn't have to go through the motions with me.

Okay, break is over. We'll talk about the store later, but Kaylie, I'm going to get back to work. I've got a lot of paperwork to do before I move to another department.

"Well, I'm going to take over for him.

That's it. Work is work, you can cut corners and do the work later, because you're the one who can do the work, so do it diligently.

"Yes,

Well, I guess I should get back to work then. I'll get you a draft of the helper when it's ready. When do you need it?

"It's always better to be as early as possible, but I'm currently busy with a handover, so please give me a month or so. The new department will likely be up and running about that long.

Okay, and

"Yes, hmm.

In a split second, Kaylie's gaze shifted and she saw that no one was watching, and she took advantage of the small window of opportunity to take Suela's lips.

"This is so sudden, isn't it?

"You won't refuse, incidentally,

I'm at work.

The status is still far superior to hers.

She could have avoided or prevented it if she hadn't wanted to.

Even so, Suela's mood was one of delight, despite her verbal warning.

It was a spontaneous act, but it ended with a slap on the chest and she went back to work.

I don't think it was my imagination that she secretly smiled for me to see.

And I'm sure she noticed that Kaylie also waved her hand in my direction to get rid of me.

I'll see you tonight.

"Yes.

"Oh, yes, yes,

It would be a hindrance to them to be here any longer.

Besides, there is more work to do.

If you have something to do, it's better to get it done first than later.

I'll leave Human Resources and figure out in my head how to make a move.

You spent a few minutes assembling it and wandering around.

So, I've moved up.

"Congratulations

I'm not in the party room where Kaido and the others are waiting for me, but in a corner of the underground shopping mall, towards Memoria's.

You can find them closing their books as soon as I enter the store, which is something you've come to see since the engagement.

Suela and Kaylee have come up through the ranks and we're going to celebrate tonight, how about Memoria?

After a quick explanation, you can get right to the point.

According to Skegob, you should try to be fair and not hide anything when dealing with multiple women.

Anyway, there's no choice but to not ask Memoria out, so here we are.

I'm happy to do so, but unfortunately I have plans starting tonight.

"Really? But if it's a different day.

No, I will be closed for about a month from tonight. I don't want to delay the celebration, so don't worry about me.

What's up with a month?

It's a personal matter.

The sudden announcement of the store's closure surprises you.

The person in question tries to end the conversation with a blank expression on his face.

Memoria is reluctant to talk about herself, just as she was when she first started.

She ends up talking about her own business.

Well.

Well, is there anything I can do to help?

"No, but

"Hmm?

If you need help, I'm here for you.

Please do so, I'm going to be worthy enough to help the woman who fell in love with me.

That's a little different these days.

And I won't celebrate my career when you get home.

"It, hmmm

"If a vampire sulks, my blood is gone.

He added that this is indeed a bad idea and gently pulled his own face away from Memoria's face.

"That was forceful.

It's funny, I thought I heard something like that earlier.

"Hmm, the second one makes sense, but not when it's just me.

I'm sorry.

The face is drawn again.

"Go ahead and finish your business.

Well, I guess I'd better get back early.

"Oh, you have to.

"Vampires will sulk.
