It's not so much the mess, but rather the end of a relationship's reckoning, which gives you more time to relax.
It's supposed to be.
There was a time when it was too hectic, caught up in the possessive rather than romantic feelings of fire-clearing Toru, but that was only yesterday, and as expected, with the mediation of a third party, that ladylike nostalfeldman seemed to move with ease, and our transfer to Kitamiya's party ended smoothly, and we are now official members.
And we, or to be more precise, I was still doing my normal job of attacking dungeons with safety first, as usual .......
As I said at the outset, we finished up yesterday's work, and today's day off was supposed to be a sweet moment in the room with Suela, watching Japanese and Hollywood movies that she wanted to watch with her.
...... What do you think you're doing?
Instead, the woman I saw yesterday is right in front of me.
Grumpy, that's the one word I can use to express my emotions.
I can hear it in your voice.
"I'll let you do your job, sir.
You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.
You're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
In front of me, sitting across from her, there are not a few cigarette butts left in the ashtray in front of me.
This isn't my room, nor is it the party room where I usually talk to Kaido and the others.
This is the company's interview room.
It's the company's meeting room. There I am, even though it's my day off! And yet there he was.
"Why do you bother coming on my day off. Hey.
The reason why I'm not happy is quite simple: I'm forced to work on my days off (service), which is probably one of the top three most hated events of working people.
In this industry that does not have a fixed working hours, I've basically teamed up with Kaido to fit in with the schedules of students Minami, Masaru and Kitamiya, sometimes working solo, but I've never been called out on a day that I decided to take a day off like this.
Fortunately, I heard that Suela would be coming up in the morning, so I was thinking of going to the rental store in the morning to rent a movie or something.
The other day, I had a problem and solved it, and the person I had been thinking of not seeing for a while came.
The bad feeling was kicking in, not as a tester, but as a member of society.
I'm sorry, I thought you would be working since we're 'also' at work today, and it looks like they're taking on the dungeon today too.
"I'm sure the schedule is tightly coordinated, we're on our own pace, there should be no delays in work?
Don't forget to keep the checkpoints in check, jabbing them with the implicit don't work.
Keep up with their pace and you'll definitely be working.
These are businessmen who were raised on labor laws.
When it comes to holidays, we don't compromise.
And whoever tells you to work first will have an easier time predicting tomorrow's weather.
Did I take that as a sign that I'm not cooperating?
Here it comes.
An invitation to the black company death march.
You are encouraged to work harder because others are working harder.
The higher ups will want you to do more than that if you keep hitting your quota.
Excuse me, so? Can I cut to the chase?
It's best to let the nasty words slide.
Although the word "duties" gives you a general idea of what to expect, I'm still not going to make the mistake of not listening to you.
"That's fine with me, Chief Tanaka.
Chief, you know.
I hadn't been called by the title before, or even in the past.
So that's what it's all about.
Shut up and take a drag on the cigarette and cut it short.
I have an idea of what you're talking about.
About a recent personnel matter, my position.
I was working on a draft of it, not that I didn't think of it.
...... mostly just to help out at their parties, right?
"Oh, you're going straight to the point, I thought you were going to cheat a bit more.
"The most useless thing at work is rubbing each other's faces in it. That's what I think.
It's a noble gesture.
Do you think you can't see the brown envelope on your desk that looks like it would fit nicely in an A4 sheet of paper, as they say?
The fact that you placed it openly in my sight suggests that there is something in that paper that motivates me.
"Well, I'll leave the official orders here and tell them to break off the attack and join you this afternoon so we can discuss the details this afternoon.
You know you don't get paid for overtime.
With the position comes responsibility. Now, I'm counting on you.
For testers, who do not have a regular closing time, a day off is a matter of personal discretion, and in this profession that firmly eliminates the concept of overtime pay, going to work on a day off is only a percentage of your income, which is zero or one.
But I can't seem to do that.
With a quick wave of your hand, the tea cup disappears and you quickly leave the room as if you've done your job.
"d*mn it, advance notice is a socially acceptable way of life.
Even if you're telling the inhabitants of another world, they may not understand due to differences in common sense, but still, if you don't tell them, you won't do it.
It won't sound like a parade of things to do, but I'm going to tell my party, revise my course of action, and cancel my date with Suela, all of which will put me in a good mood, and I'm going to spit it out like a bad word.
There's no time to spare, so much so that you can't even think about the least bit of relief.
The orders, which were taken out forcefully so as to wrinkle a little, had the contents written in Japanese.
"I order you to be seconded to Hikari Tohru's party for support.
That headline alone is enough to make me feel depressed, but as I look for holes to try to pretend this story doesn't exist, the last time I saw the supervisor's signature I was confronted with the fact that it was impossible.
Oh, shit.
I have to do it.
Trapped in this situation, I quickly grab my phone and call Kaido.
I quickly communicate with him and take over the chain of command, and I was about to say something vague, but then I heard "ah? I asked him in a full-blown grumpy tone of voice, "You're the second coming of a senior who worked late and stayed up all night! But now that I've received the handover, it's okay.
For a while, or rather, this week and next week, I can buy some time by instructing them to rough out the levels they're used to while leveling.
We don't know when our work will be finished, and we have no idea how long it will take, so we'll just have to do it now so that we can give you instructions again when things settle down.
To the Suela in question.
"I see. ......
"Oh, sorry.
"Evvia-sama's orders are inevitable, but I think we need to have a little talk about 'you-know-who'. I believe the Eighth Training Area is free.
I explained the situation to her and she agreed.
I know I'm very busy, but I still felt it was not right to say no to her over the phone, so I chose to visit her in person.
She stops her work to finish her paperwork, and I feel bad about this sudden change of schedule, even if it's work.
I'm sure Suera is a good person to tell me that you don't mind me doing this.
I promised myself that I would make it up to her, and I'll try not to see her smile as she summons some ostentatious staff.
I don't need to imagine where the point of view is.
This is what she deserves.
You look like you got a lot of work to do.
"Yes. That's the only way to go.
"Are you in the second trimester of testers or is it coming together nicely?
Yes, we've already interviewed some of them, and some of them will be moving in next month.
"For God's sake, let's not be biased toward the rear guard again, because it's pretty bad that I'm the only pure vanguard in the tester party that's up and running right now.
"Yes, with that in mind, this time we can measure your aptitude in addition to your hopefulness, so it won't be like last time.
Well, I hope there are more like me. More victims for Instructor Kio.
Then we need to stock up on potions.
How about combining it with a recovery position? You'll get the experience, too, huh?
"It might be nice,
We took a break to talk, and although we only talked about our work, the fact that we were able to spend time together lightened my mood, which had been a bit depressing.
But I was wondering how much Suela and the others appreciate the action in Hollywood.
Yes, I was wondering, too, if I could get some new magical ideas from it. I wondered if I could get some new magical ideas from it.
"I think we can take out the aliens and stuff, so you're going to have to
Based on Jiro's story, I'm guessing that we have a similar existence here, so maybe we can deal with it.
There you are, aliens.
I can't help but think of a movie that would be like a demon king vs. a giant UFO.
The fact that the main character is not a brave man but the demon king shows that I'm becoming more and more familiar with this company.
I've been experimenting with this, but I can't say that our company's president can't do it, as he has the ability to produce nuclear weapons-grade firepower if he puts his mind to it.
If it were to happen, I'm sure you'd be able to get a great picture with a team of talented people with no stunts and no CG.
Personally, I'd like to see Instructor Kio cut a spaceship in half with a sword, even if it's small.
In this case, I think the film crew is more dangerous than the actors, but we'll leave it at that.
Of course the boss, but I'm sure Instructor Kio would punch him in the face.
Yes, other... well, I'm sure Master Evia could handle hundreds of them.
Yeah, it's going to be. I think we're going to have to deal with this in a bland manner with unchained magic.
Well, even I can deal with one or two of them.
"Can I do that?
Well, with your current equipment, you can safely deal with one of them.
I guess I'd better run for it if there's more than one.
I thought it would be quite interesting to adjust our fiction to their reality, but it's time for Kaylee to start giving me a hard look at not making out during work.
The only reason I stopped by here is to cancel my plans for today.
Any longer and I'm going to cause a rift.
Now don't go.
"Yes, I know this will be a new experience for you, but be careful.
"Oh.
In front of the room, but this is my office, so no more of that.
Suela's smile gives me a little boost of motivation, and I leave.
I'm fully equipped for work, so I'll head to the gate.
The lack of testers makes this place a bit more deserted.
Normally it would be a little more crowded, but it doesn't seem to be.
I'm meeting here with fire clarity and others.
The fact that we're not here means that we're still in the dungeon.
Why do we have to have this troublesome rendezvous, but work is troublesome by nature.
Cut it out.
We've finished our pack of cigarettes when the guys show up.
Looks like you got ripped to shreds.
It will be your fault.
No, it's your mismanagement.
Do not be tempted to extinguish the remaining cigarettes just because you caught sight of them.
As a smoker's etiquette, be careful which way you blow out the smoke, but that's all.
You may also have been challenging the demon king's dungeon.
The dungeon's characteristic dust and mud can be seen all over your equipment.
Add to that his appearance and exhaustion.
Nostalfel sent us to assist your party.
"......
"You should at least answer, and if you don't want people to think you're a kid, you should fix your face.
You can also have a look at the same time as the other people.
You can find a number of different types of products and services on the market.
If you don't like it, say so, and if you have the guts to spit in your supervisor's face, then turn this down. I did my duty, at least. I'm willing to do it, but if you're not willing to do it, we're not going to talk.
"...... means you'll be under my command, right?
"Idiot, who told you that. We don't even know each other's capabilities yet. I'm the helper, but it's now or never for you to decide if I'm in your command.
Tired or stressed, probably both, plus the impatience of a recent lack of success, this guy's head isn't spinning at all.
...... Huh, do you have the energy to spare anyway?
"There is
"OK, then let's check each other's skills.
I don't expect to see the woman behind Fire Clear, Nanase Miki.
I don't know if it's a feeble-mindedness or an act, but she just looks at me and hazumi anxiously in a volatile atmosphere.
"What are you going to do?
"We're going to the training facility, what, a simple game.
Follow me," he says, rubbing out a nearly-finished cigarette with a portable ashtray as he walks.
You stop and urge them with your chin, wondering if they will follow you.
The training facility is less than five minutes' walk from the gate.
What is this?
You've never used it? Then you should look at the facility a little more closely, honors student.
Above the training room, in the control room, I run my fingers across the keyboard, shaking the cigarette in my mouth.
I was notified in the morning, and I thought my application would not pass in a hurry, but the small number of testers and the small number of people who will be using the facility easily passed my application, so I quickly move my fingers to prepare the facility.
These guys are new to me, but this is a facility I've used many times.
I know how to operate it.
"Finish setting up, I'll just do it, you guys take a break and watch.
"What's going to happen?
"It's a virtual dungeon battle. Here you can fight Souls in the environment you set up. I'll go at it alone, you two. It doesn't change, so you sit here and watch. And then we'll compare abilities to see who's in command. Simple, right?
"Why don't we just talk about it and not do that?
You need to see how good you are anyway, Nanase, a picture is worth a thousand words. Seeing is better than hearing. Then this is the perfect way to practice.
I'm going to light an unlit cigarette with my recently learned fire magic.
This really helps me to not need a lighter.
You can see Nanase's expression of anxiety rather than dissatisfaction as she returns her gaze to the tip of her cigarette.
Explaining is the duty of a member of society, so I check my equipment while answering her words.
This is my experience, but a number on paper is never worth more than a scrap of paper in the field. You guys wouldn't agree that I'm in charge because I can do this much, would you?
He didn't nod, but he understood.
"I didn't watch your battles in detail either. I need to see how good you are right now.
Even if I could see their status, I'd never be convinced of their abilities.
This isn't just for them, but for me as well.
There's a potion right there. Drink it while you watch.
You head for the door to the stairs that lead from the control room to the training room.
There is no answer, as you expected, and you silently walk out and jump down the stairs.
The countdown has already begun.
It was just a matter of making it in time, but at this height, it's no big deal.
If you make a light landing sound, you'll be standing almost at the center of the stairs.
"Well, let's just flush it out, shall we?
"set up
As soon as a mechanical voice is played, the landscape changes languidly.
The field is a mixture of rock and wilderness, visible from above, with goblins, orcs, minotaurs and other faces that appear in the Onion King's dungeon.
The equipment is divided for both perspective and distance.
Bows and axes, swords and shields.
There are about a hundred of them.
I calculate the distance at about 200 meters.
Your target.
He slowly pulls the mineral tree from his back and grabs a cigarette.
"Let's call it ten minutes.
"Start!
At the sound of the machine, the army in front of me starts to move.
Unlike the dungeon, the movement of the army, which is different from the dungeon, is well-behaved and without surprise, and my facial muscles create a crescent moon.
"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
First, you will break the ranks of its troops with your spirit.
The lineup is divided into frightened and un-scared ones by the cry of the monkey.
I'll bite!
I slash at the gap.
I'll run so low that I can barely touch the ground and reduce the distance to two hundred meters in seconds.
I'll then cleave the gap between the goblin's body and the orc's, ignoring the weight difference between them.
If there's an enemy at long range, I'll just keep on going.
sword, bow, axe or magic... I'll come close and cut them down.
It's the only thing I can do, but I need to know my role.
You feel the soles of your feet on the gravel as you feel the shaman's army of shamans unleash their magic on your allies, turning your body so that the enemies around you are blown away.
With a little bit of space, space, land to kick out, and time to regain your poise, you can gather your magic like a thrusting mine tree, thrusting forward like a giant bullet.
Just passing through could cause extensive damage.
But utilizing your full potential means there will be consequences and you won't let up.
They prioritize the rear guard and continue to reduce their chances of catching me by surprise.
As if to interrupt that, the giant man challenges me.
The minotaur... huh? The minotaur, huh?
But even that huge man's power could only create a moment of stagnation.
The axe swung down was caught by the sword-like mineral tree and bounced back without squeaking, and then cut back up and down to make it cry goodbye.
This minotaur was only one piece of this minotaur, and since the rear guard was also slaying them all together, there should be very little left.
Fear is an emotionally charged soul, but escape is not an option.
Then it's just a matter of work.
"finish
Eleven minutes or a minute over.
It's only a warm-up.
Smoke a bottle after work.
I'm happy to see that you're not skimping on the work.
Now, let's see what you've got next.
I hadn't received any wounds, so I walked across the floor to the control room where the scenery was once again distorted and I returned to the original inorganic training room.
In order to measure the fire clarity that I would see next.

Why do we have to have this troublesome rendezvous, but work is troublesome by nature.
Cut it out.
We've finished our pack of cigarettes when the guys show up.
Looks like you got ripped to shreds.
It will be your fault.
No, it's your mismanagement.
Do not be tempted to extinguish the remaining cigarettes just because you caught sight of them.
As a smoker's etiquette, be careful which way you blow out the smoke, but that's all.
You may also have been challenging the demon king's dungeon.
The dungeon's characteristic dust and mud can be seen all over your equipment.
Add to that his appearance and exhaustion.
Nostalfel sent us to assist your party.
"......
"You should at least answer, and if you don't want people to think you're a kid, you should fix your face.
You can also have a look at the same time as the other people.
You can find a number of different types of products and services on the market.
If you don't like it, say so, and if you have the guts to spit in your supervisor's face, then turn this down. I did my duty, at least. I'm willing to do it, but if you're not willing to do it, we're not going to talk.
"...... means you'll be under my command, right?
"Idiot, who told you that. We don't even know each other's capabilities yet. I'm the helper, but it's now or never for you to decide if I'm in your command.
Tired or stressed, probably both, plus the impatience of a recent lack of success, this guy's head isn't spinning at all.
...... Huh, do you have the energy to spare anyway?
"There is
"OK, then let's check each other's skills.
I don't expect to see the woman behind Fire Clear, Nanase Miki.
I don't know if it's a feeble-mindedness or an act, but she just looks at me and hazumi anxiously in a volatile atmosphere.
"What are you going to do?
"We're going to the training facility, what, a simple game.
Follow me," he says, rubbing out a nearly-finished cigarette with a portable ashtray as he walks.
You stop and urge them with your chin, wondering if they will follow you.
The training facility is less than five minutes' walk from the gate.
What is this?
You've never used it? Then you should look at the facility a little more closely, honors student.
Above the training room, in the control room, I run my fingers across the keyboard, shaking the cigarette in my mouth.
I was notified in the morning, and I thought my application would not pass in a hurry, but the small number of testers and the small number of people who will be using the facility easily passed my application, so I quickly move my fingers to prepare the facility.
These guys are new to me, but this is a facility I've used many times.
I know how to operate it.
"Finish setting up, I'll just do it, you guys take a break and watch.
"What's going to happen?
"It's a virtual dungeon battle. Here you can fight Souls in the environment you set up. I'll go at it alone, you two. It doesn't change, so you sit here and watch. And then we'll compare abilities to see who's in command. Simple, right?
"Why don't we just talk about it and not do that?
You need to see how good you are anyway, Nanase, a picture is worth a thousand words. Seeing is better than hearing. Then this is the perfect way to practice.
I'm going to light an unlit cigarette with my recently learned fire magic.
This really helps me to not need a lighter.
You can see Nanase's expression of anxiety rather than dissatisfaction as she returns her gaze to the tip of her cigarette.
Explaining is the duty of a member of society, so I check my equipment while answering her words.
This is my experience, but a number on paper is never worth more than a scrap of paper in the field. You guys wouldn't agree that I'm in charge because I can do this much, would you?
He didn't nod, but he understood.
"I didn't watch your battles in detail either. I need to see how good you are right now.
Even if I could see their status, I'd never be convinced of their abilities.
This isn't just for them, but for me as well.
There's a potion right there. Drink it while you watch.
You head for the door to the stairs that lead from the control room to the training room.
There is no answer, as you expected, and you silently walk out and jump down the stairs.
The countdown has already begun.
It was just a matter of making it in time, but at this height, it's no big deal.
If you make a light landing sound, you'll be standing almost at the center of the stairs.
"Well, let's just flush it out, shall we?
"set up
As soon as a mechanical voice is played, the landscape changes languidly.
The field is a mixture of rock and wilderness, visible from above, with goblins, orcs, minotaurs and other faces that appear in the Onion King's dungeon.
The equipment is divided for both perspective and distance.
Bows and axes, swords and shields.
There are about a hundred of them.
I calculate the distance at about 200 meters.
Your target.
He slowly pulls the mineral tree from his back and grabs a cigarette.
"Let's call it ten minutes.
"Start!
At the sound of the machine, the army in front of me starts to move.
Unlike the dungeon, the movement of the army, which is different from the dungeon, is well-behaved and without surprise, and my facial muscles create a crescent moon.
"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
First, you will break the ranks of its troops with your spirit.
The lineup is divided into frightened and un-scared ones by the cry of the monkey.
I'll bite!
I slash at the gap.
I'll run so low that I can barely touch the ground and reduce the distance to two hundred meters in seconds.
I'll then cleave the gap between the goblin's body and the orc's, ignoring the weight difference between them.
If there's an enemy at long range, I'll just keep on going.
sword, bow, axe or magic... I'll come close and cut them down.
It's the only thing I can do, but I need to know my role.
You feel the soles of your feet on the gravel as you feel the shaman's army of shamans unleash their magic on your allies, turning your body so that the enemies around you are blown away.
With a little bit of space, space, land to kick out, and time to regain your poise, you can gather your magic like a thrusting mine tree, thrusting forward like a giant bullet.
Just passing through could cause extensive damage.
But utilizing your full potential means there will be consequences and you won't let up.
They prioritize the rear guard and continue to reduce their chances of catching me by surprise.
As if to interrupt that, the giant man challenges me.
The minotaur... huh? The minotaur, huh?
But even that huge man's power could only create a moment of stagnation.
The axe swung down was caught by the sword-like mineral tree and bounced back without squeaking, and then cut back up and down to make it cry goodbye.
This minotaur was only one piece of this minotaur, and since the rear guard was also slaying them all together, there should be very little left.
Fear is an emotionally charged soul, but escape is not an option.
Then it's just a matter of work.
"finish
Eleven minutes or a minute over.
It's only a warm-up.
Smoke a bottle after work.
I'm happy to see that you're not skimping on the work.
Now, let's see what you've got next.
I hadn't received any wounds, so I walked across the floor to the control room where the scenery was once again distorted and I returned to the original inorganic training room.
In order to measure the fire clarity that I would see next.

Huh?
Oops, man, I almost went back in time.
Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, singleHer Suela HendelbergMemory TrisOccupation Dungeon Tester full-timeMagical aptitude 8 general classPost WarriorsIt's not so much the mess, but rather the end of a relationship's reckoning, which gives you more time to relax.It's supposed to be.There was a time when it was too hectic, caught up in the possessive rather than romantic feelings of fire-clearing Toru, but that was only yesterday, and as expected, with the mediation of a third party, that ladylike nostalfeldman seemed to move with ease, and our transfer to Kitamiya's party ended smoothly, and we are now official members.And we, or to be more precise, I was still doing my normal job of attacking dungeons with safety first, as usual .......As I said at the outset, we finished up yesterday's work, and today's day off was supposed to be a sweet moment in the room with Suela, watching Japanese and Hollywood movies that she wanted to watch with her....... What do you think you're doing?Instead, the woman I saw yesterday is right in front of me.Grumpy, that's the one word I can use to express my emotions.I can hear it in your voice."I'll let you do your job, sir.You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.You're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.In front of me, sitting across from her, there are not a few cigarette butts left in the ashtray in front of me.This isn't my room, nor is it the party room where I usually talk to Kaido and the others.This is the company's interview room.It's the company's meeting room. There I am, even though it's my day off! And yet there he was."Why do you bother coming on my day off. Hey.The reason why I'm not happy is quite simple: I'm forced to work on my days off service, which is probably one of the top three most hated events of working people.In this industry that does not have a fixed working hours, I've basically teamed up with Kaido to fit in with the schedules of students Minami, Masaru and Kitamiya, sometimes working solo, but I've never been called out on a day that I decided to take a day off like this.Fortunately, I heard that Suela would be coming up in the morning, so I was thinking of going to the rental store in the morning to rent a movie or something.The other day, I had a problem and solved it, and the person I had been thinking of not seeing for a while came.The bad feeling was kicking in, not as a tester, but as a member of society.I'm sorry, I thought you would be working since we're 'also' at work today, and it looks like they're taking on the dungeon today too."I'm sure the schedule is tightly coordinated, we're on our own pace, there should be no delays in work?Don't forget to keep the checkpoints in check, jabbing them with the implicit don't work.Keep up with their pace and you'll definitely be working.These are businessmen who were raised on labor laws.When it comes to holidays, we don't compromise.And whoever tells you to work first will have an easier time predicting tomorrow's weather.Did I take that as a sign that I'm not cooperating?Here it comes.An invitation to the black company death march.You are encouraged to work harder because others are working harder.The higher ups will want you to do more than that if you keep hitting your quota.Excuse me, so?Can I cut to the chase?It's best to let the nasty words slide.Although the word "duties" gives you a general idea of what to expect, I'm still not going to make the mistake of not listening to you."That's fine with me, Chief Tanaka.Chief, you know.I hadn't been called by the title before, or even in the past.So that's what it's all about.Shut up and take a drag on the cigarette and cut it short.I have an idea of what you're talking about.About a recent personnel matter, my position.I was working on a draft of it, not that I didn't think of it....... mostly just to help out at their parties, right?"Oh, you're going straight to the point, I thought you were going to cheat a bit more."The most useless thing at work is rubbing each other's faces in it. That's what I think.It's a noble gesture.Do you think you can't see the brown envelope on your desk that looks like it would fit nicely in an A4 sheet of paper, as they say?The fact that you placed it openly in my sight suggests that there is something in that paper that motivates me."Well, I'll leave the official orders here and tell them to break off the attack and join you this afternoon so we can discuss the details this afternoon.You know you don't get paid for overtime.With the position comes responsibility. Now, I'm counting on you.For testers, who do not have a regular closing time, a day off is a matter of personal discretion, and in this profession that firmly eliminates the concept of overtime pay, going to work on a day off is only a percentage of your income, which is zero or one.But I can't seem to do that.With a quick wave of your hand, the tea cup disappears and you quickly leave the room as if you've done your job."d*mn it, advance notice is a socially acceptable way of life.Even if you're telling the inhabitants of another world, they may not understand due to differences in common sense, but still, if you don't tell them, you won't do it.It won't sound like a parade of things to do, but I'm going to tell my party, revise my course of action, and cancel my date with Suela, all of which will put me in a good mood, and I'm going to spit it out like a bad word.There's no time to spare, so much so that you can't even think about the least bit of relief.The orders, which were taken out forcefully so as to wrinkle a little, had the contents written in Japanese."I order you to be seconded to Hikari Tohru's party for support.That headline alone is enough to make me feel depressed, but as I look for holes to try to pretend this story doesn't exist, the last time I saw the supervisor's signature I was confronted with the fact that it was impossible.Oh, shit.I have to do it.Trapped in this situation, I quickly grab my phone and call Kaido.I quickly communicate with him and take over the chain of command, and I was about to say something vague, but then I heard "ah? I asked him in a full-blown grumpy tone of voice, "You're the second coming of a senior who worked late and stayed up all night! But now that I've received the handover, it's okay.For a while, or rather, this week and next week, I can buy some time by instructing them to rough out the levels they're used to while leveling.We don't know when our work will be finished, and we have no idea how long it will take, so we'll just have to do it now so that we can give you instructions again when things settle down.To the Suela in question."I see. ......"Oh, sorry."Evvia-sama's orders are inevitable, but I think we need to have a little talk about 'you-know-who'. I believe the Eighth Training Area is free.I explained the situation to her and she agreed.I know I'm very busy, but I still felt it was not right to say no to her over the phone, so I chose to visit her in person.She stops her work to finish her paperwork, and I feel bad about this sudden change of schedule, even if it's work.I'm sure Suera is a good person to tell me that you don't mind me doing this.I promised myself that I would make it up to her, and I'll try not to see her smile as she summons some ostentatious staff.I don't need to imagine where the point of view is.This is what she deserves.You look like you got a lot of work to do."Yes. That's the only way to go."Are you in the second trimester of testers or is it coming together nicely?Yes, we've already interviewed some of them, and some of them will be moving in next month."For God's sake, let's not be biased toward the rear guard again, because it's pretty bad that I'm the only pure vanguard in the tester party that's up and running right now."Yes, with that in mind, this time we can measure your aptitude in addition to your hopefulness, so it won't be like last time.Well, I hope there are more like me. More victims for Instructor Kio.Then we need to stock up on potions.How about combining it with a recovery position?You'll get the experience, too, huh?"It might be nice,We took a break to talk, and although we only talked about our work, the fact that we were able to spend time together lightened my mood, which had been a bit depressing.But I was wondering how much Suela and the others appreciate the action in Hollywood.Yes, I was wondering, too, if I could get some new magical ideas from it. I wondered if I could get some new magical ideas from it."I think we can take out the aliens and stuff, so you're going to have toBased on Jiro's story, I'm guessing that we have a similar existence here, so maybe we can deal with it.There you are, aliens.I can't help but think of a movie that would be like a demon king vs. a giant UFO.The fact that the main character is not a brave man but the demon king shows that I'm becoming more and more familiar with this company.I've been experimenting with this, but I can't say that our company's president can't do it, as he has the ability to produce nuclear weapons-grade firepower if he puts his mind to it.If it were to happen, I'm sure you'd be able to get a great picture with a team of talented people with no stunts and no CG.Personally, I'd like to see Instructor Kio cut a spaceship in half with a sword, even if it's small.In this case, I think the film crew is more dangerous than the actors, but we'll leave it at that.Of course the boss, but I'm sure Instructor Kio would punch him in the face.Yes, other... well, I'm sure Master Evia could handle hundreds of them.Yeah, it's going to be. I think we're going to have to deal with this in a bland manner with unchained magic.Well, even I can deal with one or two of them."Can I do that?Well, with your current equipment, you can safely deal with one of them.I guess I'd better run for it if there's more than one.I thought it would be quite interesting to adjust our fiction to their reality, but it's time for Kaylee to start giving me a hard look at not making out during work.The only reason I stopped by here is to cancel my plans for today.Any longer and I'm going to cause a rift.Now don't go."Yes, I know this will be a new experience for you, but be careful."Oh.In front of the room, but this is my office, so no more of that.Suela's smile gives me a little boost of motivation, and I leave.I'm fully equipped for work, so I'll head to the gate.The lack of testers makes this place a bit more deserted.Normally it would be a little more crowded, but it doesn't seem to be.I'm meeting here with fire clarity and others.The fact that we're not here means that we're still in the dungeon.Why do we have to have this troublesome rendezvous, but work is troublesome by nature.Cut it out.We've finished our pack of cigarettes when the guys show up.Looks like you got ripped to shreds.It will be your fault.No, it's your mismanagement.Do not be tempted to extinguish the remaining cigarettes just because you caught sight of them.As a smoker's etiquette, be careful which way you blow out the smoke, but that's all.You may also have been challenging the demon king's dungeon.The dungeon's characteristic dust and mud can be seen all over your equipment.Add to that his appearance and exhaustion.Nostalfel sent us to assist your party."......"You should at least answer, and if you don't want people to think you're a kid, you should fix your face.You can also have a look at the same time as the other people.You can find a number of different types of products and services on the market.If you don't like it, say so, and if you have the guts to spit in your supervisor's face, then turn this down.
