"Oh, is that good?
"Yeah, but you're not making any money.
"Yeah, it's hard to find a bigger purchase since your mineral tree.
A weapon shop that is not visited by anyone other than testers seems to be a deserted one, and when there are multiple other weapon shops, it's not just a deserted one.
The number of people who come to the store will be the charm.
It is not a blessing in such a desert-like situation, but it does contribute to the sales of drinking water.
That's why we can ask for this kind of favor.
It's important to keep in touch with your face as a member of society.
A few minutes after entering the store, you receive a heavy trapezoidal twin shield in your hand taken out from the back of the store from your familiar giant hands.
"But what kind of a deal is it that you want me to use your prototype shield? They used to say they wouldn't use it unless they could guarantee its safety.
Well, the main thing is to cut costs, but you can't pay for anything other than a party.
Oh, dude. But you've been getting a lot of buzz lately, huh?
"Rumor?
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
I wonder if gossip is something that people in the business get.
You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.
It's not a bad thing to hear a rumor, but it's an occupational hazard from my last job that negative thoughts come out first.
Now, I have a few ideas: ......
The first person to hold a human position in the Demon King's army.
"Is this your first time at ......?
The first thing that comes to mind is that the Demon King's army has been at war with the humans, most of them hate humans.
"Speaking of which,
It's easy to forget about them because of the relatively friendly members of the team, but it's true when you think about it.
When I joined the company, Suela said.
And that emergency training exercise was based on the assumption that there was an actual faction in the Demon King's army.
The demon king's army is not monolithic.
It's a collection of diverse thoughts.
That charismatic president gathered them all together and compressed them into a single piece.
In gathering members who are brave enough to oppose the brave, there are three factions: the moderate faction that wants to use humans to oppose the brave, the neutral faction that wants to wait and see, the hawkish faction that wants to use them as slaves, and all the factions look at them as tools rather than cooperation, but since the president was a moderate, they have settled down to their current form. I see.
Hey, sweetie.
"Hmmm?
Is that your friend?
Don't do it, I can't see it.
"You're checking your back with our product, what the hell are you talking about?
"No, this is a spare weapon oh no, the mineral tree is suddenly heavy!
"Oh! This is awesome, it's rare to see a mineral tree with a mind of its own!
"This is not the time for that!
Well, so much for escaping reality.
My original plan was to pick up Nanase's shield like this, but on the way, I felt eyes from wherever I was.
I've always felt the eyes that try to observe me, or rather people, but I don't really feel their eyes like this, as if they were watching me instead of observing me.
From what I can hear, there's a certain number of people, within the range of my understanding, who are following me around.
Adjust your posture to avoid the sudden weight behind you and the crippling sensation of being sucked by magic.
If you were of a lower status, you would definitely be crippled.
I never thought the day would come when a backup weapon would be recognized as cheating, so let's stop here to escape reality for now.
You've been talking facing each other at the counter, but you quietly take another close look at the silver blade behind the counter.
From the side, it should look like a customer wondering whether or not to buy it.
Your magic-enhanced vision only sees what appears to be a person trying to quietly time the entrance, but the action alone is enough to dismiss it as suspicious.
I can only smell the trouble.
"So ・・・・ Mr. Hands, you don't owe any money or anything?
Don't worry, Giant's debt collectors don't come to collect in such a pushy way.
"What exactly?
"Go in fully armed with a full complement of equipment.
"Last resort has been introduced early on!
"The last resort is even better, right?
"I don't want to imagine.
As much as I hate to admit it, it looks like I'm the one that the tracker is looking for.
If it was a beautiful woman or something, I'd talk to her casually, but I can't even get a chance to talk to her because she's hidden behind a cloak that I can't even see.
"You know what, if you cause any problems in the store, I'll use you as a test case for my prototype, okay?
By the way, what prototypes are finished?
"People are into beauty nowadays, aren't they? I developed a wand that makes your skin glow like a baby when you hold it.
"What are the drawbacks?
"In addition to the inability to disarm, you have the capacity to think like a baby.
"OK, I'll try not to bother you in your store.
What's so sad about having to equip such a deadly cursed armor .
And it's fatal that it doesn't work as a weapon.
They're all good products if I make them properly.
However
Do you think I'm not aware of that?
"Isn't it? If you know you're being noticed, you'd run away or come to the front, wouldn't you?
I know, Mr. Hands, isn't that your friend or something?
I don't know a giant that small, and my three-year-old nephew is bigger than that one.
"It's the kind of growth that would drive a short guy crazy if he heard it.
I don't know what he's trying to do. It's too lousy to follow, and I don't currently have the stomach for a probe in the first place.
I don't think this company's employees have enough time to get involved in such trivial matters as Suela and Memoria's relationship.
"Hey, do you have a weapon in your arsenal to get me to confess?
"There's a dagger that talks about everything and anything, but instead it burns out your tongue after three seconds. Instead, three seconds later my tongue burns out.
"You gotta adjust the speed of your mouth.
It's a weapon that accelerates the speed of experience to begin with.
"Oh, it accelerates so fast that you can't decide whether or not to talk about it.
Oh, that's pretty good, huh? How about one?
"I don't want to be jealous of you,
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find a way to make it work.
I don't think he'll respond to me when I talk to him.
Should we let the supervisor or Suela handle this?
Should I have reported it in case?
I'm not sure if that's a deciding factor.
I'll just go home and have a beer.
Do it, do it, I can't wait to get home and have a flaming drink with my mom's snacks in hand.
Work.
I'm working.
I'm done for now.
I had no reason to linger, so I left the store with my shield under my arm.
I was careful to leave the store, but nothing was done.
But they didn't change their gaze.
I don't have a reason for the attempt on my life, but considering the common sense of the other side (fantasy), maybe I do.
Be careful not to walk too fast, the streets of the shopping mall look different now.
I did not go into every store.
I don't know the faces of all the shopkeepers.
That unknown information makes me wary.
"Hey,
!
If you are accosted without any sign, sound or warning, you will immediately reach for the hilt of the mineral tree.
The person who called out to me nodded his head, admiring my long, neatly groomed blonde hair as he shook it and said, "You're very tense.
You're pretty tense.
"Shah, sir!
Well, I can't afford to be bothered with such elegant gestures.
The sudden appearance of the head of the company surprised me in a different way.
Why, why, why, what's going on?
First of all, I should say hello, my common sense tells me.
Yeah, I've been working a lot and I've been on the run.
But that common sense seems to have frozen over, too.
But at least now I understand why it showed up here.
I'm not convinced now.
......
"Hahaha, you look so surprised you can't say anything!
To be precise, I am half surprised and half dismayed.
The same charismatic smile, no horns, no nothing but a blonde-haired handsome man at first glance, our president, but the atmosphere is definitely demon king.
But even Evvia is terrible. It's hard to keep going, no matter how quickly I can go through the documents. A true demon! And so I escaped for a change.
I can only answer with a huff.
Exactly what is the devil to say about supervisors being the devil?
Or should I just shudder at the amount of work that the president of this paranormal, natural mass of phenomena can get away with?
Either way, I'm sure I'm not keeping up with the high tension.
"Oops, I just got carried away. I have to stay here too long or Evvia will find me, so I'll just cut to the chase.
"The main topic?
What a surprise.
Although he had just recently been promoted to chief, who would have thought that he would still be second from the bottom, and that he would still come to see me like this, even though they had spoken once, and that the head of the company would come to tell me his business.
"You're being hated by many people in different places now, and if you don't do something about it soon, you're going to die.
What?
"Oh! Evvia, you've raised your arm, you've already noticed my location. Then try, Jirou! I'm still counting on you to do this!
"Hey, wait a minute! No wait!
For a moment my thoughts stopped completely.
But the flames of my instincts, which told me that if I didn't move now I'd regret it, brought me back to my senses.
But that moment was fatal. The demon king walked away after saying something outrageous.
As if to say that he wouldn't answer my cries, he looked in the direction of the day after tomorrow and then disappeared like a haze, laughing.
I want to believe that I was seeing a mirage.
"Well, I'm a step too late. Jirou, you should stall him a little longer.
"That's a tall order.
You want to think, but reality is merciless, and this time the supervisor appeared as if to prove the reason why the demon king was there a moment ago.
You'll be able to see that he's still hiding, and he's precisely looking around, clucking his tongue, and complaining that he was watching you just now.
Huh, I'll have to look again.
"Superintendent, I know you're a busy man, but what you just said,
That's a fact. There are people who don't like your promotion, or rather, your appointment as a human being, who want to take your place.
"You're not the one whose life is being threatened along with your seat!
You'll be able to find out if there's any hope for the supervisor to hit the bat-like messenger with a wave of his hand after a sigh, but unfortunately, like the earlier action, any hope is dashed.
Then get promoted quickly. If you do.
What if I do?
"Our enemies (competitors) will not be able to do anything about it.
"......
And I didn't tell Suela about this.
"...... disenfranchised?
As long as you don't do anything about it.
I've heard it's meritocratic and competitive, but to compete for a rugby ball for a position like this?
And this coach has nailed it.
Subconsciously, I blocked the thought that I could rely on this person to get things done, and that if I consulted with Suela, I would come up with a solution.
In such a situation, he unconsciously lit a cigarette in front of the supervisor.
Calm your thoughts with routine work.
The supervisor says you need no one to help you solve it.
When the white smoke in your lungs calms you down and allows you to think a little better, you'll have a plan.
So, the point is, I just have to prove I'm a guy, right?
"Well, that's pretty cool for a guy who was upset earlier.
You have to keep your cool or you won't get the job done.
He didn't even pretend to care about the cigarette, but on the contrary, he was praised for the act of returning his emotions to normalcy at once.
A moment of emotion is certainly necessary, but cooler heads are always required.
The supervisor implicitly showed me the solution.
If I panicked here, my words would be wasted.
Then I'll just let myself hope for the best.
"If you can hear those words, you'll just have to work harder.
"Hmm, I'll go back to the pursuit of the Demon King.
The situation takes two or three turns, as the coin seems to be on the other side.
You will be able to see the supervisor who disappeared just like the president, and you will be thinking about what to do.
Normally, when you hear that your life is being threatened, it is common sense for peaceful Japanese to run to the police.
But I can't do that and I don't want to.
After all, this company where the exchange of lives is an everyday occurrence.
And I have no intention of leaving this company where I get to hang out with two beautiful women and feel a sense of fulfillment.
I was upset by the suddenness of the conversation, but on second thought, it's nothing to panic about.
I may be shallow, but I have experience.
It's too early to panic.
But it's also true that we need to act quickly.
Judging from what the president is expecting from the top regulators, we can assume that the enemy is from a different faction than the two of them.
I'd like to see more information about the race and forces, but from what those two don't say, I'm guessing that's what they're trying to show me as well.
There's no doubt that they are in trouble.
On the other hand, it's a chance to be seen and appreciated by your superiors.
The supervisor's words were that you don't need anyone's protection and that you should be able to use your position as a human being to strengthen your foundation.
It's true that I've been relying on Suela and the supervisor for many things.
Maybe that's naive.
I'm not used to this situation, I don't have common sense.
Those excuses certainly existed in my mind.
Just think of it as a chance to get rid of them.
Well, what to do?
The question is, what area will they attack me in and kick me down the road, and how will I appeal to them?
How do they see me in the role of chief or how do I build on this role?
What kind of role does the company want me to play?
The supervisor just told me that my time to do what I'm told is over.
Independence, I'm at the point where I can rely on Suela and the others to make me the kind of guy I am.
It's now up to me to decide how the scales will tilt.
In the past, I would have thought it would be a hassle and would have wanted to be quiet.
It's nice to be able to laugh.
I'm enjoying this situation.
When was the last time I enjoyed competition. When was the last time I thought competition was tiring and tiresome?
I'm elated for the first time in a long time, or at least, I'm trying to enjoy this competition.
That means that I am finally starting to become a member of the demon king's army.
You have to enjoy everything.
I'm sorry to tell Kaido and the others, but working alone like this isn't a bad idea.
It's fun to think about what to try, I thought as I walked along at a standstill.

When was the last time I enjoyed competition. When was the last time I thought competition was tiring and tiresome?
I'm elated for the first time in a long time, or at least, I'm trying to enjoy this competition.
That means that I am finally starting to become a member of the demon king's army.
You have to enjoy everything.
I'm sorry to tell Kaido and the others, but working alone like this isn't a bad idea.
It's fun to think about what to try, I thought as I walked along at a standstill.

It feels like a challenge or a long time.

But you've been getting a lot of buzz lately, huh?"Rumor?I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.I wonder if gossip is something that people in the business get.You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.It's not a bad thing to hear a rumor, but it's an occupational hazard from my last job that negative thoughts come out first.Now, I have a few ideas: ......The first person to hold a human position in the Demon King's army."Is this your first time at ......?The first thing that comes to mind is that the Demon King's army has been at war with the humans, most of them hate humans."Speaking of which,It's easy to forget about them because of the relatively friendly members of the team, but it's true when you think about it.When I joined the company, Suela said.And that emergency training exercise was based on the assumption that there was an actual faction in the Demon King's army.The demon king's army is not monolithic.It's a collection of diverse thoughts.That charismatic president gathered them all together and compressed them into a single piece.In gathering members who are brave enough to oppose the brave, there are three factions: the moderate faction that wants to use humans to oppose the brave, the neutral faction that wants to wait and see, the hawkish faction that wants to use them as slaves, and all the factions look at them as tools rather than cooperation, but since the president was a moderate, they have settled down to their current form. I see.Hey, sweetie."Hmmm?Is that your friend?Don't do it, I can't see it."You're checking your back with our product, what the hell are you talking about?"No, this is a spare weapon oh no, the mineral tree is suddenly heavy!"Oh!This is awesome, it's rare to see a mineral tree with a mind of its own!"This is not the time for that!Well, so much for escaping reality.My original plan was to pick up Nanase's shield like this, but on the way, I felt eyes from wherever I was.I've always felt the eyes that try to observe me, or rather people, but I don't really feel their eyes like this, as if they were watching me instead of observing me.From what I can hear, there's a certain number of people, within the range of my understanding, who are following me around.Adjust your posture to avoid the sudden weight behind you and the crippling sensation of being sucked by magic.If you were of a lower status, you would definitely be crippled.I never thought the day would come when a backup weapon would be recognized as cheating, so let's stop here to escape reality for now.You've been talking facing each other at the counter, but you quietly take another close look at the silver blade behind the counter.From the side, it should look like a customer wondering whether or not to buy it.Your magic-enhanced vision only sees what appears to be a person trying to quietly time the entrance, but the action alone is enough to dismiss it as suspicious.I can only smell the trouble."So Mr. Hands, you don't owe any money or anything?Don't worry, Giant's debt collectors don't come to collect in such a pushy way."What exactly?"Go in fully armed with a full complement of equipment."Last resort has been introduced early on!"The last resort is even better, right?"I don't want to imagine.As much as I hate to admit it, it looks like I'm the one that the tracker is looking for.If it was a beautiful woman or something, I'd talk to her casually, but I can't even get a chance to talk to her because she's hidden behind a cloak that I can't even see."You know what, if you cause any problems in the store, I'll use you as a test case for my prototype, okay?By the way, what prototypes are finished?"People are into beauty nowadays, aren't they?I developed a wand that makes your skin glow like a baby when you hold it."What are the drawbacks?"In addition to the inability to disarm, you have the capacity to think like a baby."OK, I'll try not to bother you in your store.What's so sad about having to equip such a deadly cursed armor .And it's fatal that it doesn't work as a weapon.They're all good products if I make them properly.HoweverDo you think I'm not aware of that?"Isn't it?If you know you're being noticed, you'd run away or come to the front, wouldn't you?I know, Mr. Hands, isn't that your friend or something?I don't know a giant that small, and my three-year-old nephew is bigger than that one."It's the kind of growth that would drive a short guy crazy if he heard it.I don't know what he's trying to do. It's too lousy to follow, and I don't currently have the stomach for a probe in the first place.I don't think this company's employees have enough time to get involved in such trivial matters as Suela and Memoria's relationship."Hey, do you have a weapon in your arsenal to get me to confess?"There's a dagger that talks about everything and anything, but instead it burns out your tongue after three seconds. Instead, three seconds later my tongue burns out."You gotta adjust the speed of your mouth.It's a weapon that accelerates the speed of experience to begin with."Oh, it accelerates so fast that you can't decide whether or not to talk about it.Oh, that's pretty good, huh?How about one?"I don't want to be jealous of you,I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find a way to make it work.I don't think he'll respond to me when I talk to him.Should we let the supervisor or Suela handle this?Should I have reported it in case?I'm not sure if that's a deciding factor.I'll just go home and have a beer.Do it, do it, I can't wait to get home and have a flaming drink with my mom's snacks in hand.Work.I'm working.I'm done for now.I had no reason to linger, so I left the store with my shield under my arm.I was careful to leave the store, but nothing was done.But they didn't change their gaze.I don't have a reason for the attempt on my life, but considering the common sense of the other side fantasy, maybe I do.Be careful not to walk too fast, the streets of the shopping mall look different now.I did not go into every store.I don't know the faces of all the shopkeepers.That unknown information makes me wary."Hey,!If you are accosted without any sign, sound or warning, you will immediately reach for the hilt of the mineral tree.The person who called out to me nodded his head, admiring my long, neatly groomed blonde hair as he shook it and said, "You're very tense.You're pretty tense."Shah, sir!Well, I can't afford to be bothered with such elegant gestures.The sudden appearance of the head of the company surprised me in a different way.Why, why, why, what's going on?First of all, I should say hello, my common sense tells me.Yeah, I've been working a lot and I've been on the run.But that common sense seems to have frozen over, too.But at least now I understand why it showed up here.I'm not convinced now......."Hahaha, you look so surprised you can't say anything!To be precise, I am half surprised and half dismayed.The same charismatic smile, no horns, no nothing but a blonde-haired handsome man at first glance, our president, but the atmosphere is definitely demon king.But even Evvia is terrible. It's hard to keep going, no matter how quickly I can go through the documents. A true demon!And so I escaped for a change.I can only answer with a huff.Exactly what is the devil to say about supervisors being the devil?Or should I just shudder at the amount of work that the president of this paranormal, natural mass of phenomena can get away with?Either way, I'm sure I'm not keeping up with the high tension."Oops, I just got carried away. I have to stay here too long or Evvia will find me, so I'll just cut to the chase."The main topic?What a surprise.Although he had just recently been promoted to chief, who would have thought that he would still be second from the bottom, and that he would still come to see me like this, even though they had spoken once, and that the head of the company would come to tell me his business."You're being hated by many people in different places now, and if you don't do something about it soon, you're going to die.What?"Oh!Evvia, you've raised your arm, you've already noticed my location. Then try, Jirou!I'm still counting on you to do this!"Hey, wait a minute!No wait!For a moment my thoughts stopped completely.But the flames of my instincts, which told me that if I didn't move now I'd regret it, brought me back to my senses.But that moment was fatal. The demon king walked away after saying something outrageous.As if to say that he wouldn't answer my cries, he looked in the direction of the day after tomorrow and then disappeared like a haze, laughing.I want to believe that I was seeing a mirage."Well, I'm a step too late. Jirou, you should stall him a little longer."That's a tall order.You want to think, but reality is merciless, and this time the supervisor appeared as if to prove the reason why the demon king was there a moment ago.You'll be able to see that he's still hiding, and he's precisely looking around, clucking his tongue, and complaining that he was watching you just now.Huh, I'll have to look again."Superintendent, I know you're a busy man, but what you just said,That's a fact. There are people who don't like your promotion, or rather, your appointment as a human being, who want to take your place."You're not the one whose life is being threatened along with your seat!You'll be able to find out if there's any hope for the supervisor to hit the bat-like messenger with a wave of his hand after a sigh, but unfortunately, like the earlier action, any hope is dashed.Then get promoted quickly. If you do.What if I do?"Our enemies competitors will not be able to do anything about it."......And I didn't tell Suela about this."...... disenfranchised?As long as you don't do anything about it.I've heard it's meritocratic and competitive, but to compete for a rugby ball for a position like this?And this coach has nailed it.Subconsciously, I blocked the thought that I could rely on this person to get things done, and that if I consulted with Suela, I would come up with a solution.In such a situation, he unconsciously lit a cigarette in front of the supervisor.Calm your thoughts with routine work.The supervisor says you need no one to help you solve it.When the white smoke in your lungs calms you down and allows you to think a little better, you'll have a plan.So, the point is, I just have to prove I'm a guy, right?"Well, that's pretty cool for a guy who was upset earlier.You have to keep your cool or you won't get the job done.He didn't even pretend to care about the cigarette, but on the contrary, he was praised for the act of returning his emotions to normalcy at once.A moment of emotion is certainly necessary, but cooler heads are always required.The supervisor implicitly showed me the solution.If I panicked here, my words would be wasted.Then I'll just let myself hope for the best."If you can hear those words, you'll just have to work harder."Hmm, I'll go back to the pursuit of the Demon King.The situation takes two or three turns, as the coin seems to be on the other side.You will be able to see the supervisor who disappeared just like the president, and you will be thinking about what to do.Normally, when you hear that your life is being threatened, it is common sense for peaceful Japanese to run to the police.But I can't do that and I don't want to.After all, this company where the exchange of lives is an everyday occurrence.And I have no intention of leaving this company where I get to hang out with two beautiful women and feel a sense of fulfillment.I was upset by the suddenness of the conversation, but on second thought, it's nothing to panic about.I may be shallow, but I have experience.It's too early to panic.But it's also true that we need to act quickly.Judging from what the president is expecting from the top regulators, we can assume that the enemy is from a different faction than the two of them.I'd like to see more information about the race and forces, but from what those two don't say, I'm guessing that's what they're trying to show me as well.There's no doubt that they are in trouble.On the other hand, it's a chance to be seen and appreciated by your superiors.The supervisor's words were that you don't need anyone's protection and that you should be able to use your position as a human being to strengthen your foundation.It's true that I've been relying on Suela and the supervisor for many things.Maybe that's naive.I'm not used to this situation, I don't have common sense.Those excuses certainly existed in my mind.Just think of it as a chance to get rid of them.Well, what to do?The question is, what area will they attack me in and kick me down the road, and how will I appeal to them?How do they see me in the role of chief or how do I build on this role?What kind of role does the company want me to play?The supervisor just told me that my time to do what I'm told is over.Independence, I'm at the point where I can rely on Suela and the others to make me the kind of guy I am.It's now up to me to decide how the scales will tilt.In the past, I would have thought it would be a hassle and would have wanted to be quiet.It's nice to be able to laugh.I'm enjoying this situation.When was the last time I enjoyed competition. When was the last time I thought competition was tiring and tiresome?I'm elated for the first time in a long time, or at least, I'm trying to enjoy this competition.That means that I am finally starting to become a member of the demon king's army.You have to enjoy everything.I'm sorry to tell Kaido and the others, but working alone like this isn't a bad idea.It's fun to think about what to try, I thought as I walked along at a standstill.Tanaka Jiro, twenty-eight years old, singleHer Suela HendelbergMemory TrisOccupation Dungeon Tester full-timeMagical aptitude 8 general classPost WarriorsWord of the DayIt feels like a challenge or a long time.
