Another side

　As long as Jiro and his colleagues are doing their normal work (dungeon testing), the other testers are also engaged in their work.
　The new recruits are still in training and have not been brought into the field yet, but the testers who have been working since last year are different.
　Even though the number of people are small, they have a proven track record of testing dungeons for a year in spite of their bent.
　There are currently four in operation, including Jiro's party.
　Jiro's [Moonlight Perch].
　The party of two people Tohru Hazumi and Nanase Miki [Tsubasa]
　Female party led by a female archer named Kanzaki [step beat].
　The party of four male wizards [Golden Hill]
　There is almost no such thing as a horizontal connection to these four parties.
　For a while, there was a time when Jiro tried to mentor Hizumi and Nanase, but the period was short.
　There are no private connections, but only work-related ones, including Jiro's party.
　It is also for profit reasons.
　The information posted on the company's website is enough for me.
　In a world where information is easy to gather, no one will go to the trouble of interacting with you if it is not necessary.
　Or it could be because of rivalry.
　This reason is more common.
　Pride can sometimes inspire and support a person.
　But on the other hand, pride often leads to the inability to acknowledge the fact that you are lower than the other person, such as lowering your head.

Thank you both for answering my call.

　I don't know if that story led to this event.
　However, there is no denying that such elements are not present at all.
　It's not only a few demon tribe in the company who don't appreciate the current state of strength of the [moonlight perch].
　Fire Clearing and other parties will also join their ranks.
　Although they do not want to risk sabotage and kick you down, it is undeniable that the three of them, who are always at the forefront of the pack, do not feel good about it, and the three of them have gathered here.
　And, superficial words aside, emotional reasons are a factor that is hard to dispel.

So what's the story?　We rented this place all the way down here.
Yeah. This is when we're trying to pick a better recruit.

　A small conference room.
　It is located in an inconspicuous part of the company, and yet it is magically and mechanically kept confidential.
　The fact that you are talking about something secret is known to the company because of the application, but more importantly, it is a secret room.
　There are two men and a woman gathered there.
　Fire-clearing with a cheerful smile, you are pleased that they agreed to the discussion.
　Kanzaki of the red dot asks you to hurry up and proceed with the discussion while wrinkling his forehead quizzically.
　And Torimatsu, the man who leans against the back of the chair as if he agrees with you, does not hide his sullenness.

I guess it's about our future as dungeon testers.
"Huh, we'll talk about it inside your party. We came here because we heard you had something important to talk about.

　You'll be able to find out more about the particulars of your own life.
　However, the strong-minded woman Kitamiya and his childhood friend did not seem to care about his strong tone of voice and lightly agreed with him before proceeding.

You should not normally have to share this kind of story, but this past year has widened the gap between us. We need to make up that gap.

　A cheerful expression changed from a cheerful expression to a serious expression and told hazumi.
　And the two people who react to the word "difference" with a jolt.

You'll be able to find out more about ......... them?

　And then the golden hill rooster pine broke the silence for a few seconds.
　The grumpy expression on his face became even grimmer, and he told Jiro and the others to spit heavily.
　The first is an older solo player.
　The rest of them are young, talented, and somewhat out of place.
　Because he's the only mid-career hire, he looked down on them, but now he finds himself looking up to them.
　You acknowledge this fact, but you're not happy with it, and you lean back against the back of the chair with a creak, as if to say you're not happy with it.

It's crazy how far they've come. They couldn't have grown that fast without the leverage of a third party. We've seen it firsthand.

　And the cause of their irritation is thrown into the fire clearing.
　They think that they themselves have worked hard in their own way and have produced results.
　In fact, it can be said that hazumi's party was leading at the beginning of the game.
　But after a certain day, the dungeon attack is now at a standstill, waiting for the status to rise day by day.
　And fire clarity is still a better category.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic.
　From the point of view of these three people, what is the difference between Jiro and the members here?
　Why is it that Jiro and the others can do it, while they cannot?
　They couldn't even ask the person in charge of the project honestly, so they could only get muddy answers to their questions.
　From the company's point of view, even those who belong to the Demon King's Army are not willing to take the initiative in telling you what you don't want to hear, except for a few, so I just gave you a muddy answer.
　It is not a malicious answer from the company's point of view.
　However, it wasn't taken that way by fire clarity, and she thought that for some reason, such as keeping quiet about it, was being kept quiet.

It's easy to say that. Don't you think that this company is laying down an inequality? They're the only ones given special training and guidance, and they're building connections that we don't have.

　In that vein, fire clarity became convinced that third party leverage, or rather, favoritism, was being practiced.
　Most people show their displeasure when they hear of inequality.
　In fact, both Kanzaki and Yumatsu do not show their expressions, but the atmosphere becomes slightly worse as they agree.
　And although they don't show their expressions, you can see a glint in their eyes as if to say that it's hard to forgive them.

"Don't you think so?

　He is asking for consent, but his tone is assertive.
　He doesn't ask the two people who are actually here for their consent, but tells them as if it were definite.

"[.........]



　Although they do not speak to the words, but there is a part of agreement, they choose to be silent.
　Affirmation may make you feel better, but it will lead you to speak against the company's policy.
　You'll be able to find out what they're thinking.

......... What do you want to say?

　There was silence for a while, but the silence did not last long.
　Yumatsu grew impatient and started to talk to hazumi.
　You'll be able to get a good deal more information about the company.

".........

　If it were true, it would be more convenient for Kanzaki to come along for the ride, or perhaps he would look at her for a few seconds, but she chose to be silent.
　It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're talking about.

Their status is a place we could have reached if we could have benefited from it. I think we give too much importance to the 'little' active in the company.

　His words with a bit of emphasis.
　And Jiro and his friends' achievements are essentially their own.

"There's a better way to get out of the situation. I have a good way to break the status quo and I need your help to do it.

　And then smiles a friendly smile as if to tell you in a roundabout way who is appropriate for that place.
　It's a good idea to have a good-lookin', well-dressed person, so that everyone, especially the opposite s*x, can see that the smile is gentle and kind and attractive.
　You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.
　You'll be able to find out what you can do with it.

Interesting. I'm interested in that story.

　By the time he finished speaking, Torimatsu, whose initial grumpiness had vanished, happily and amicably decided to join in on the conversation with Fire Clear.

"This is as far as I can go now, Kanzaki-san. What about you?
"......... is certainly a fascinating story if your story is true.
"'But I can't make that decision alone. I'll discuss it with my party members and get back to you." ......... Okay. But I'll let you set the time. The sooner we get ready, the better. Three days. I won't wait any longer.
Okay.

　In contrast, Kanzaki is half in doubt.
　If the content of fire-clearing is true then there is a reasonable return.
　There is no discrepancy or contradiction in what was said.
　But she avoided answering immediately, feeling trapped as if she had a small bone in her throat.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get the best out of it.
　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.
　Kanzaki left the room early and left the room.
　You can also have a look at the other side of the room.

"I'm sorry, I have someone to meet.
Hey, are you talking to more than just us?
Well, that's about it.

　With that, fire clarity left the conference room as he treated Torimatsu.
　And on the way to the conference room, he took out the item hidden in the lining of his sleeve and turned off the switch.
　In fire-clear's hand is a voice recorder.
　The contents of the conference room are all stored in this voice recorder.

Hello, how are you doing?
"Midori.

　And seeing a woman standing in the shade of a vending machine on the road, Fire Clear smiles.

"I was able to get one of them to cooperate. This is the one you asked for.
Thank you. Yeah, just the one. The girl?
"Yes, I suppose so. Is there a problem?
No, it's okay. I'm sure she'll fall in line with the story.

　I'm going to be the one who is waiting for you to meet up with fire-clearance.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
　The distance between them is as if they were lovers.
　I can't see them talking from that distance.
　This is a hole-in-the-wall place so to speak.
　That conference room is confidential but high-profile.
　Here, on the other hand, there is a hole in the confidentiality, but the attention span is far less.
　It's a better place to be aware of your surroundings and to have this kind of secret meeting.
　And the two of them are talking about the result of what fire-clearing was talking about just a moment ago.

You look worried.
Do you understand?
"Yeah, it shows on your face more than you think. You seem to think you're okay.

　His eyes wavered slightly as he failed to accomplish what she had instructed him to do in the process, and she giggled and pointed it out to him.
　With a gentle hand, she points between her eyebrows and looks him in the eye and tells him it's going to be okay, and he feels his shoulders relax from feeling uneasy.

It's okay. You have me. You just have to keep going straight. I'll take care of everything else. And then we'll be fine.

　When she and he met.


　Few people know that.
　But what he has for her is trust, or fraternity, or some other kind of manly feeling.
　The only thing that can be said is that he doesn't doubt her word.
　And he honestly accepts her words as she "broke through" the current situation, which is less successful than he thought it would be.

I'll push you back, just like that time. And then 'Kitamiya-chan' will come back to you.
"Yes, of course.
"Yes, you've made a mistake. But that doesn't mean the mistake can't be corrected.

　Her hand gently rested on his cheek and he gently cupped it.

"Because now you're sorry you made a mistake. I'm sure she'll forgive you.

　Her hands are gentle and sweet, and they soak into him like honey.

But it's hard to get her to say what she really thinks, because she's so insincere. So, you see, I need a trigger.

　Those sweetly whispered words entered his ears soothingly.
　And slowly, it "displaced" his perceptions.

That opportunity is almost here. And this is Japan, not Japan. That opportunity will work too.

　Gently, her hands gently release his hands and her hands go around his neck, gently embracing him.
　He buries his face in the sweet-smelling woman's neck, letting her reassuring warmth wash over him.
　Her words reassure him that it's okay.
　He soaks in the air as she touches him like a mother, like a sister, like a "coivite".
　He doesn't know what will happen to him.
　But the future is surely fixed like a fairy tale storybook.
The evil errand boy is defeated and the owner becomes happy. Happy birthday]
　He forgot to doubt it, .


　Word of the day
　All is well, it doesn't last.
