Time is limited.

We can't stay here forever watching the happenings.

In order to act quickly, I accompanied my guide to her, Amelia Miyagawa.

She is stepping and doing the same breakdancing as she did then, but with her newfound talent as a brave woman, she stops her sharp movements with a natural movement and stands on her head with one hand without any signs of instability, then she notices me and looks at me.

You can also use your own personal computer. People over there can go to ...... hmmm, dare?

"Good morning brave souls.

That's what usually happens.

I greeted the guide with a straightforward greeting, and she responded to me with a response that was definitely a first contact.

I thought it would be absurd to ask her to remember me since I hadn't introduced myself or anything.

I've only spent so little time with him that I don't remember him unless the conditions were similar.

It's amazing to be reminded of a relationship that is barely recognizable as an acquaintance.

"Hmmm, is that reaction a sign that you know me?

We may not have gone to the level of acquaintance, but we've met once late at night in a park in Tokyo.

I'm not sure what to do and I was wondering what to do, and I don't remember, but my reaction made me wonder if I'd encountered it before, and Amelia stopped standing on her head and stood up normally and put her left index finger to her cheek, trying to remember.

I was somewhat disappointed.

I thought I'd be more alert, but I'm grateful for the surprisingly smooth start.

Having saved me the trouble of explaining, our guide quickly steps back to avoid getting into the conversation and begins to take a look around.

There is no danger of being seen here except in one direction, which is at the edge of this courtyard.

You should be a little more cautious of the girl in front of you who is trying to talk honestly in such a place, even if the man you don't remember is talking to you.

Really! Tokyo de ...... Tokyo! Did you say Tokyo! You know Tokyo, brother?

That's because I'm from Japan. Of course you do.

I was slow to notice.

I was not aware of it until later, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that I was careless.

You will be surprised to hear that you met him in Japan.

"It may be hard to tell because of the color of your hair and colored contacts that change the color of your eyes, but didn't you receive a glass of juice from the guy who was caring for a drunken businessman a couple of months ago?

"...... Ah! Nn????

I can't change the color of my hair back, but I can take off the color contacts.

As you stare at my face for a few seconds with your eyes back to black, Amelia's expression changes to one of surprise as she reacts by pointing her finger at me, as if her memory matches my face, and then her expression changes to one of wondering why I'm here.

"You look like you're wondering why you're here,

"You know what?

Your face is easy to recognize.

It's a girl with a constantly changing face.

In a word, it's work.

Amelia's expression darkens with disappointment at the simple words.

Was she waiting for help or was she expecting something else? ......

"Didn't you live up to your expectations?

Sorry.

"Thought you were coming to help?

"Un.

"Then don't apologize. You're not wrong, I came for you guys.

"What?

"We have limited resources, but we are preparing to mobilize a small number of people to get you back to Japan. Well, it's going to take some time, but at least we'll get you back to Japan.

I explain step by step to show that it's not a lie or a dream.

I can't tell you how many people to move, because I don't know where my ears are, but her face lights up as she outlines and touches that preparations are already underway to return.

But there's a problem.

"Problem?

Yeah, there are at least two countries that may be blocking your return.

"Why! They said if we beat the bad guys, they would let us go.

The expression on your face momentarily diminishes at the word "problem".

The world would be a more peaceful place if you kept your promise to the world because we protected it.

I don't know when the backdoor was created, but Amelia, or rather the students who were summoned, interpreted the conditions set by the state to their advantage.

The students will be returned to Japan if they train and defeat the world-threatening demon king golem.

You think this story is built on good deeds of helping others.

Unfortunately, I don't think that would be so convenient.

"It may not be wrong, but it's not right. How many people would let go of the hen that laid the golden egg for one egg? Most people, you know, use it up until it can't lay any more eggs and then eat it in the end.

A country is not built on good deeds.

A man's work cannot run without profit.

I paid the enormous expense of a brave man to call him up and it ends with a single use.

Can the great organism of the state be convinced?

No, it couldn't be.

You're only looking at purpose and result.

?"?

"It's understandable, of course. Some people think it's important, but it's also rather disrespected in the workplace.

Let's point out the differences first.

Amelia responds to my point by tilting her head and saying she doesn't understand.

I think about how to get across to her in a nutshell and choose my words.

It's a process. You don't see the process. You think the process of defeating the demon king will be solved by the ability to acquire 'peacefully' through training and discipline. On the other hand, the people of the state are different. The 'real benefits' will dictate your actions and demand results.

It's probably just a difference in perception.

Words such as "impossible" can easily be swung up and down according to various scales.

Students from Japan often think that by swinging swords, practicing magic, and defeating the strong, they will become strong.

That's certainly not a mistake.

It is one way to become strong.

That perception is common knowledge to Japanese students who know war only through distant information media such as the news.

But this world is different from Japan.

In this world, monsters and other creatures, bandits attacking, and

"It's cruel, but you guys will be instructed to kill people in a little while.

"Huh?

It would be a great experience for a soldier to invade to fight.

You don't hear me.

No, you wouldn't want to recognize it.

I might not be able to satisfy Amelia's wish to hear back, but we can't stop here and talk some other time.

It's a difference in perception. You try to achieve results in the process of eliminating behaviors that your common sense abhors. But the inhabitants of this world, realizing this, will think: "Why go the 'long way'? Why take the 'long way' to get results when this would be 'faster'?

The greatest hindrance to war is common sense.

There is perhaps no emotion more obtrusive to war than the abhorrence of killing.

But the countries that do not want us to become murderous pleasure hunters will say this.

And it's easy to see why they're so quick to get their desired result.

And then they will say, "You know what you're going to say. Please use your power to defend your country. Bring down the bad guys with your own hands.

Try to fit your career path to your own schedule.

They will prepare excuses to forgive themselves for it.

Excuses have similarities with drugs.

The fetters of common sense and the drug of excuses make people think that this is inevitable and gradually release the behaviors that were suppressed by common sense.

And once a person makes an excuse, he or she does not feel bad because he or she did it that time, but because he or she can't help it, and naturally acts with a minimum of avoidance even though he or she feels bad.

And this is to help people, and if you defeat them, there are people who will be happy to see you.

If you think your actions are right, you will find that your common sense will be rewritten and it will be too late.

...... is the reason why I rushed to reach out to you when you were summoned, so I wouldn't let you kill people.

Demon whispers are sometimes as gentle as angels, or as compassionate as the weak, and they make one's good intentions work in the wrong direction.

If you don't know what you're talking about, you're going to have to go on with your story to bring Amelia back to reality.

This is not a corporate story to tell from here.

This is about my personal feelings.

It's my personal feelings that got me here instead of coming home from hiding, when it would have been best for me to go into hiding.

The benefits to the company and the damage to the other side were just a way to work through those feelings.

I set the stage for what I wanted to do.

The reality is not as kind as the story.

By the time the brave man is done and the story ends with happily ever after, there is an unseen darkness.

Maybe it's a good story. You may not believe it. But believe me here and I'll get you back to Japan. And I will do it with all my might.

What's with the summoning of the heroes.

I don't like the way you kidnap kids who know nothing about your country and talk only about what suits you.

I don't like the way you hide your mocking face with heavy make-up on the side you are involved in just because it's convenient.

I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I chose to leave these people alone, never mind the situation in the world where the unspoken rules are intervening.

Then you'll regret doing it.

It's better to regret doing it than not doing it.

Yes, this is hypocrisy.

But that doesn't make me feel bad for feeling that way.

And so I stand here daring my lover, Memoria, to speak.

Amelia stares at me as I move with these feelings.

You mustn't get dirty yet. You've got people waiting for you to come home. We've got to get out of here.

"...... un

I tried to speak as seriously as I could, but I don't know if I got it right.

But she listened firmly and swallowed something, and then slowly but surely she nodded her head.

At least all the students here are waiting for their parents and brothers to come home.

If you're here as a tourist, it is the duty of an adult to get you out of this bloody place.

Well, to be honest, it's half chivalry and half retribution, but from Amelia and the others' point of view, it wouldn't matter which way it went.

I'll take the hard part. For you.

It's not you. a-me-re-a, call me Amelia.

There's something about the way she politely asks you to pronounce and call her name one by one.

You have no problem responding to it, so you just call her name.

"Hey, Amelia, first of all, I want you to take this and bring more allies.

"Nanikore?

It's a tool that makes you want to go home.

Let's just get on with the backstage maneuvering so we can leave.

One of the files I brought in here.

I brought in a file that I entrusted to one of the brave men who wanted to come home and help us with our plan.

Inside are newspaper clippings and fliers of the finder about this incident. Use this to wake up your classmates from their daydreams of being a hero.

Right now you're only excited about the special title of brave, and that will go cold in the blink of an eye when you see the difference between the ideal and the reality.

This is the coolant for that.

This is the coolant for that. Then there will be more and more people who will calmly think about the present situation.

......

What's up?

You're going to be able to find out if there's anything wrong with you.

If there's a problem here, I want to fix it.

It's a good idea to have a look at ...... and also to find out if there are any problems with the ...... this time because I can't speak Japanese well until recently. The camp was also told by the teacher ...... sono

"Oh.

I kind of get what Amelia is trying to say.

In short

"You don't have many friends.

"...... un

Even if you can converse with someone with a high level of excitement while dancing with an American vibe, everyday life is different, and that intensity is not to be appreciated by everyone.

Some Japanese people keep their distance from people who are not able to find that kind of distance.

To be honest, I said it's not many, but I'm not sure.

I must say that Amelia's position in the class is delicate.

You're going to have to ask yourself if you can give her an unexpected miscalculation, a card that will certainly affect the outcome, if not the trump card, because she has a problem that you couldn't anticipate from your first impression.

Can you manage ......?

"Huh?

The decision was made rather easily.

I was going to hand this bill to a stranger to get him to act, but I had a lower chance of winning the lottery than a chance of finding a stranger.

It's not a bad bet to trust her with a fate of some kind.

We work on this one, but I'm going to need support: ......

"What is it?

"Don't use that money mark, even if you're a clergyman.

"What, you think prayers make your stomach growl?

I'm worried.

I'm prepared for a certain amount of trouble, but still, the fewer the better.

But I wouldn't ask this guy to do it.

The guild behind the scenes works well, depending on the content, but can we trust this woman who didn't even tell us her name?

I have a feeling that when she denies all prayers, she's not a priest and if you pay her, she'll even give the middle finger to God, which makes me trust her energy, but at least I'm more worried about her than I am about Amelia.

To be more specific, I have a feeling that he's not going to betray you at the last minute, but rather lose the gamble he placed with all his bets.

''Don't worry! I'm Gambalkara!

"...... oh

Really, what's the point of an adult making a child anxious.

You might as well trust this guy.

So, what's the reward?

No way I'm asking.

"What, what?

"I didn't know there was a story for that in another world.

Ignoring the guide woman who seemed to have seen something incredible, it's time to get out of the way.

What I want you to do is in the file, but don't worry, it will only take a short time to get it done if you take it easy.

I don't know if anyone will see me, so I give Amelia's head a final pat on the head and say, "If you make it, I'll buy you a nice ice cream for Tokyo.

"If you make it, I'll buy you a nice ice cream in Tokyo.

Triple then, please!

"You're going to dig into a businessman's wallet, but, okay, come on, Amelia.

"Yes sir!

It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

It's a lousy way to salute, I thought, but I also saluted back and let Amelia leave the courtyard first.

I smiled at Amelia as she looked back at me several times, and then I tightened my grip on my face and said that I had no more business here and moved on to my next action.

I tell the guide woman that it's time to go, and we leave the courtyard too.

I have some extra money.

"For God's sake, be serious, and have you had any magical surveillance?

"Be careful with your magic tools. I will be involved if something goes wrong.

All right, so let's get the hell out of here, shall we?

It's a surveillance network to be aware of here.

If anything happens here, you're all bankrupt.

To avoid this, I was introduced to a man who is sensitive to surveillance and vigilance, and he came in.

I honestly don't need a last minute stunt like that.

I'm not sure if this miserable bastard is going to be okay, but let's be relieved to know that he has taken you to the place where you want to be without going against the movements of people who are starting to move around without hesitation, even though he's doing his job well and talking to you.

Go ahead, through here you'll come out the back door. There is a burlap bag of trash nearby and you can go out without any discomfort.

"I didn't think you'd casually have to take the trash out.

It's a good thing you don't have to do it.

You're talking a lot differently than the first time.

"Because if you're not paying, you don't need to be polite.

You miserable miser.

It's a compliment.

You have no choice.

They are either cold-hearted or loyal to their work, and they are reluctant to follow the gaze that tells them to get on with their lives.

If you glance back, the woman is already gone.

You decide that you don't have a choice and approach the garbage.

Unlike in Japan, there are no convenient substitutes such as plastic bags, but the strangely damp, odd-smelling, and frankly disgusting materials made me almost clam up, but somehow I managed to carry them to the collection point and leave the church without being followed.

"Guess you made it back in one piece.

Thanks to you, next time you don't want to be that money-grubbing bastard, I was afraid I was going to have to ask for more money.

Waiting for me in the safe house you showed me was the man who showed me the way to the church on the roof.

"I've brought your things up to your room. And? How did that work out for you?

The seeds are sown. We'll take action in a week.

"Kukku, I guess we'll see what happens if you go home or f*ck yourself in a few hours.

"Hey, hey, I've got a beautiful potential wife waiting for me, I'm not going to die.

It's rare to find someone who survives to say that.

"Shit.

I regretted saying that line, but I couldn't swallow the spit.

"You can count on us at best.

Let me do that.

"Kukku, I'm going to blow their brains out. Don't f*ck it up.

I won't fail you.

Without seeing the man leave the room to say that it was over, I headed to the room where the luggage was being brought in.

I never thought I'd end up wearing it in here.

It was easy to find what I wanted.

As I looked at the desired items in the trunk case, I wondered where my original guideline of keeping a low profile had gone, looking at the formal suit inside.
