This company's industry is quite special when compared to other companies.
　In the modern world, the only type of business that can be done for the purpose of conquering dungeons is in the virtual electronic world, the so-called game world, where you can earn advertising income through debugging work and challenging videos.
　In addition, even in the other world's demon king's army, this job is a first attempt, and the unprecedented nature of the job is often a difficult one.
　The reason why pioneers are said to be great is because they alleviate the hardships.

Sentai Hero!
"Yes!

Isn't it even less likely that there are warrior heroes who are about to land in such a special industry?
　I think about that while looking at the upright, careful posture in front of me.
　I can see it through your clothes, your well-trained body.
　Your torso is strong and steady, and you stand so beautifully that I suddenly wonder if you might be.

Is she from the Japan Self-Defense Force by any chance?
How did you know?
"No, I just wondered, somehow, if a normal person could stand up so nicely. No big deal.

　He was in his early twenties or so, judging by his age.
　He looked like he could have been trained in normal exercise or martial arts, but the atmosphere mixed in with them was uncomfortable.

He even went to the National Defense Academy and found this company's flyer and this is it!　And then she quit. It's a shame, because he was a candidate for a job and his future was secure.

　I tried to describe the atmosphere with more than half a hunch, but I was right.
　Kato scratches her head, surprised and embarrassed because I said she was beautiful.
　Kato is hugged with her left arm as if she were squaring her shoulders behind him, and Goto tells you how she joined this company while pointing to her face with her spare right hand.

I see, so you're from the Self-Defense Forces too?　You look like you've been working out a lot.
"No, I'm not. I'm still a former heavyweight boxer. I had a pretty good record, okay?　I was almost ready to become the Japanese champion, but I felt something different, so I was invited by the flame samurai to be here now," he said.

　Ask him if he's a colleague, and you'll find another person with a special background.

Shigeo is amazing. I heard he was approached by a famous American trainer. You're so talented, but you could have stopped a spa.
I just had a feeling this is not the place to use my fist. It's just that you're not the same, Rie.

　We listen to them, a little excitedly, wondering what will come of this trend of boxers to the SDF.

I'm ordinary, ordinary. I'm just a fortune teller, they're everywhere.
Well, Rie was in a magazine, right?　And there was talk of becoming the resident fortune teller of some rich guy, right?　I don't know how you can call that normal.
"No!　Common if you go through!　When I say normal, I mean normal!　I'm tired of listening to people complain and slurring their words because they couldn't see their ideal future!　From now on, fortune telling is a hobby!　That's it!

　And here comes another job change from a unique profession.
　A fortune teller who might be good enough to be featured in a magazine has changed jobs to a fighting job.
　As an ex-employee, I can very much sympathize with the feeling that you don't like your old job.
　But what I'm curious about is why he joined our company, which is physical.
　Kato and Goto would understand.
　They're both physical people.
　But she's not.

How did a fortune teller end up in this company?　Normally I think there are more different professions and stuff, you know South?
I don't understand, that I don't.

　I don't know if anyone else thought that, but Minami and Kitamiya mentioned the question.

Oh, there's no special reason, okay?　If they said they were going to be in it, I'm going to be in it too!
"The reason is light, that it is.
If I just look at the future, I think I'll be able to make my life work.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
　We don't care why you get hired, as long as you have talent.
　Now, I'm sure you'll find that I'm running out of ideas.

I'm sure you think we're out of ideas.
Can a fortune teller read people's thoughts?
"You know what? I don't know about other fortune-tellers, but I do have a vague idea, and we're not the only ones whose work history has changed.
It's okay. It's not like my old profession.

　But according to Ito, he's not out of ideas yet.
　Not hiding his grin and mischievousness, Ito leans over Sato's right shoulder and prompts her to tell him about her previous occupation.
　Is that a profession we're surprisingly confident in?
　Is it enough to raise the bar?
　And a common question floated in our minds.

"You're a detective, after all, you were a detective!
"Huh.
"You're a detective?
That one, that is, aka the Grim Reaper.
"No, Minami, I don't think so.
"Huh?　No?
"No, Amy,



　And sure enough, the raised hurdle was not crossed.
　Our reactions were cold, contrary to Ito's open introduction.
　Detective, you may certainly think it's great to hear that, but with all the oddities here, the level of surprise is lowered.

"Wow! I've slipped, what should I do?
"Don't make me sound like I slipped up, Rie, I didn't want to tell you because it would have happened.
"Sorry, I'm sorry, isn't it great to be a detective in a normal way?

　And I apologize to Sato, who is a little embarrassed by our normal reactions.
　I don't know much about the profession of a detective, but I hear that you get into a lot of trouble because of your profession.
　I think it's quite amazing considering that you've experienced that.

"No, I just like mysteries and I went into it, so it's not that big of a deal.
"Judo Sandan
"Karate Yondan
"Aikido Nidan
"Kendo Sandan.
"To Cleave
"Kyudo.
What else did I do?
Didn't you also do Tae Kwon Do?
"Uh, and then there's Muay Thai and a knife.
Didn't you also do wandering?　And a guy called Sabbat.
"From me to the martial arts of the SDF.
"I taught you boxing, too.
The other things you do to keep your body strong, like yoga, and you say seriously that it's no big deal to learn all this?
I know I do a half-marathon every morning.
"Uh,

　Yeah, you've got a pretty impressive resume.
　The calmest, most seemingly sensible person has the most unexpected background.
　Kato, Goto, Ito, and Endo, in that order, revealed the martial arts background she had studied, and the martial arts and fighting techniques she could count on.
　It's hard to imagine how far she can go with her presumably nineteen-year-old body.
　She is a little troubled by the revelation from her friends and ponders for a few seconds what to do.

"What's the big deal?
""You're lying!

　I tried to cover it up with humility, but Kaido, Minami, and Amelia all prodded me.
　I can't ask her why she quit her job as a detective to join us.
　As expected, they say that too much humility can sound sarcastic, but when it's this great, I don't know what to say.
　Perhaps, but it's something you've learned to do to survive in the kind of settings you see in mystery novels and comic books.
　I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that you need to go that far to get to the stage of a mystery novel to break through, and you'll be good enough for this company.

She's promising.
Yes.

　As proof, Kitamiya and Masaru honestly praised their efforts.
　I also secretly wondered if she was more promising than Ishan, who is known for his high magical aptitude. I thought.
　And then came the endo that came around last.
　One by one, the hurdles were raised.
　Sato has broken through it beautifully.
　Then naturally, Endo's expectations were high.

No, I don't have that great a job.

　Endo's cheeks blush with embarrassment as he meets our gathered gaze.

"No, no, no, there's no need to be modest again!
"Yes, that it is!　That line in the flow up to this point, that it is a pretend line, that it is.

　Kaido and Nando jump on that attitude and raise the bar.

HEBU!
Stop it, both of you.
Yes,

　And the two of them take a chop to the back of the head.
　It's a brilliant chop, swung down from ninety to forty-five degrees.
　Kitamiya and Masaru firmly landed a blow to their heads, and then bowed their heads to apologize to Endo.

"I'm sorry, my two...
Sorry.
"It's fine!　I really don't do much compared to the other four.
No, in a way Ken might be the greatest of all of us.
Yes, because it's the best in the world.
Well, I'm just a fortune teller who got a feature in a weekly magazine.
"What kind of detective would I be if I said that?

　It seemed that the direction of the story was going to be such that they didn't have to say anything, but I didn't expect to get a change of direction from my buddy Kato and the others.
　Once again, all eyes are on Endo.
　Self Defense Force, boxer, fortune teller, detective.
　What is his profession among all these colorful professions?

Well, I was a professional gamer. I've won a few world championships.
"Thirteen times.
"You've conquered a lot of fighting games, FPS, puzzle games,
"South, isn't he stronger than you?
"Oh?　Will you do that?　You have no intention of losing in my ring, that you do not? ......... enhancement magic can be used, that is?
"Are you trying to dope from the start?

　And out came the professional gamer.
　When I heard that, I thought it was for real.


　Kitamiya teases Minami and tries to challenge Endo to a match, but his opponent is the world's best, and he realizes he's not good enough, so he tries to give him a physical boost.
　Everyone around you laughs at his flip-flop, but I'm in no mood for that.
　I can't hide my surprise at what kind of coincidence this is.
　A gathering of peers is a common story, but it's not the ideal organization, if you ask me.
　If we were to compare it to baseball, it would be easy to understand.
　Nine baseball enthusiasts get together and try to play baseball.
　Then, if they are all going to be separated and fit perfectly into their favorite positions, the chances of that happening are slim to none.
　The pitcher might get it, the third might get it.
　Some compromise will be made.
　But what about the party in front of me.
　Kato, a combat veteran and candidate for the Japanese Self-Defense Force, is a commander in chief.
　Goto, a former boxer with combat experience, is suitable for the vanguard.
　Ito is a fortune-teller with a keen eye for observation and a keen sense of foresight, suitable for wizards with a broad perspective.
　Sato, an all-rounder born of a detective's keen eye for observation and an obsession with mystery novels, and Sato, an all-rounder who is lacking in the former four.
　And Endo, who can adapt to the environment of the other world, which the former four lack.
　It's a well-balanced combination.
　The result will vary greatly depending on the jobs each of us will have, but I can't find anything else to worry about at the moment.

Haha... We can't sit idle, either.
"Hmm?　What did you say, Jiro?
No, I'm talking to myself.

　Kato and I had come to the party with our merrymaking party, at first to caution us about our earlier behavior, but then I realized that we weren't in the flow of things.
　In addition to Ishaan, Benny and the others, and Katagiri, my juniors, I'm cautious that I've gathered these guys as well.

Oh, come to think of it, Mr. Tanaka and the others had something to do here. I thought they were looking for us.

　And then, as if to bring back the air, Kato noticed this and spoke to me.

"No, it's about the conference room. I'm sure there's a reason why he was so eager to buy Kaido's suit, but I just came to tell you to keep in mind the TPO. If you were in the SDF, you'd understand.　This company has discipline, too.
I'm sorry about that. When I saw Kaido-san's equipment, I couldn't help but get excited. I'm really sorry.

　Then we told Kato that this was the original purpose of our visit, and he bowed his head to us, as if he was sorry for what he had done.
　Goto and the others followed suit and bowed as well.

No, you just need to be sorry. Just use it next time and you won't have anything to say to me.

　I was worried that he might be getting carried away with his magic crests, but it seems my fears were unfounded.
　Is it his nature or was he trained by the Self-Defense Forces, he's a straight and serious guy.
　But it's just a pity that he's too straightforward in his pursuit of a single goal.
　You accept Kato's apology as you apologize one last time, and now I'll change the subject.

Kato, can I ask you a question?
"Yes, what is it?
"No, I'm just curious, or maybe the other guys are curious too.
"Yes.
"How did you guys meet?　We didn't meet at work, did we?

　Yes, I don't think we have this many personalities in the company by chance, so neatly together.

"We've known each other for about two years. I'm a fan of the military and we met on a social networking site about it.

　I knew there was a connection.

Then I found this company's flyer, and I showed it to everyone, and they all saw it and got into it.
I had a lot of alcohol on me at the time.
"But I didn't feel bad about it. It's literally a good time to change me now.
Yes, I was thinking that this is what I wanted to do with my job, too.
"I was getting mad at my mom because she was always saying how long I was going to stay in the game.

　I thought it was a coincidence.
　Each of us has our own coincidences, but this is the kind of coincidence that brings us to this place.

So that's why you were willing to kick the tires of a leadership position to join us?
"What do you mean, Mr. Tanaka?
?

　The man who put that connection together .

"Magic is all about transformation, isn't it, and if you love heroes, you need to use it to make your dreams come true!

　I was just a special effects buff.
　And the same goes for friends.
　Seeing Goto and the others nodding their heads, I thought it was interesting.
