112-111 ◇ Urgent recruitment! Would you like to work at Demon Castle? It is a homely workplace (before)




 


 Each floor's applicants are interviewed by the boss of that floor, the other executives, and the rest of the personnel department.
 The head of the human resources department is Agares-san. He's busy with the Four Heavenly Kings, personnel, and taking care of the Demon King - the last one is voluntary - and he's busy.

 As a staff member, I, who is formally positioned just below the Demon King, was present at the interviews on almost every floor. I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article.

 So, it was the tenth level interview.
 The venue was a conference room with a huge oval table and chairs arranged around it. This time, people were seated on the side with the loosest curve of the circle.

 There are four interviewers, including me, and one applicant each.
 The interviewers are me, Mira-san, Majin-san from the human resources department, and Frucas-san.
 The rest of the interviewers were dressed as demons.

 I'm not sure if it's because there were no specific conditions set up, unlike the other floors, but the number of applicants was large.
 Hmm, maybe they took my words lighter than I thought.
 After half of the interviews, there was still no one who made an impression on me.

"I think there were some applicants who were fair game in terms of ability, but...

 The blonde, bobbed cut witch says. She is female, and her horns grow from the side of her head. It's spiral and black in color.
 We were just halfway through the interview when we had a light conversation.

'Yes, sir. But the battle... how should I put it, because it's not like the battle is won or lost by comparing them, even if the ability can be quantified.

'But even so, isn't it better to be competent?

'I suppose that's one way to think about it. But it's not a top priority for me.

"You think that 'guts to slay a hero' is more than enough to make up for the lack of ability? 

What I think is most important is the will. The most important thing for me is the will to do this, and the will to do whatever it takes to achieve it. When you have multiple people fighting together, if you don't share that, it's tough. Personalities, ages, genders, and principles can be different, but the goal must be the same. If there's only one thing we need to do to be united as a group, it's that.

''There were many applicants so far who said that they were the ones who would defeat the brave men.

They were all talkers. You'll know it when you see it.

 Mira, who was in a state of Carmilla, said.

''You haven't trained your magical organs and body very well, and there's no need for someone with a big mouth.

 Fulkus-san, who is in the black knight state, followed suit.

I'm sure you all agree. But if we don't get any recruits at this rate, the problem will be the General Staff.

'Yes. Yes, but.....

 And so, the second half of the game.

''The next person is - a human (normal) applicant. They want to be in a group of five, and they want to be on a short-term contract only. Well, that's true, after all.......we are adventurers....

 As my example shows, if an adventurer becomes a demon, it's not a violation of the rules and regulations.
 However, it's very difficult to be both an adventurer who moves around a lot and a demon in waiting.
 This party is trying to solve this problem by limiting it to a short period of time until the end of the raid battle.

''Oh, I've been curious about it. This party consists of two 【Black Mages】, two 【White Mages】, and one 【Brave Man】, and is ranked in the top hundred, because they are very rare adventurers.

 Mila was right.
 When was it that she said that there were three [Black Mages] in the top hundred ranks, including me.

 I'm not in the Fenix Party anymore, so there are currently two of us.
 Those two people belong to one party.

 By incorporating two each of 【Black Mage】 and 【White Mage】, who are treated coldly in the industry, we have conversely succeeded in standing out. However, adventurers are not so naive that they can survive on that alone.
 If they're just different colors, they'll soon get bored even if they attract attention for a while.
 Her party--''

'I'm tired of waiting!

 The door opens.
 Then the red carpet is rolled out and a beautiful woman sitting in a flamboyant chair approaches, floating in the air. Wrong. Two men are lifting the chair she is sitting on.

 The attendant who unfolds the carpet, the two attendants who carry her, and the attendant who offers the Lord coolness with an unusually large fan.
 And the Lord's beauty. Five people in total.
 The [Black Mage] wears a black suit and the [White Mage] wears a white suit. All four are young and good looking.

 And the one to follow them is 【Ellie, the brave man of the world】.
 She is a victorious-looking beauty with long silver-gray hair and eyes.

''Greetings, Demon King Army! And thank you, Demon King's Army! Even if it's only a raid battle, I'm glad to have the help of this Atta and my lovely servants (servants)!

 They were ranked ninety-fiveth. They are higher in rank than Philip, Nicola and Marc's party.

 The tactics are extremely simple.
 The two [Black Mages] weaken the enemies, and the two [White Mages] strengthen Ellie-san.
 Then Ellie defeats all the enemies.

 It's simple, but the awesome thing about these girls is the result of their attack.
 In all the attack videos posted by the girls, they never once left the game, and Ellie never once took any damage.

 Even those of us who thought they had four limp-wristed people in their midst can't say anything when we see this party's attack footage. Well, no. The people who want to deny it say this.
 The brave man's ability is outstanding. If the four of them are set up with different 【Position(Job)】, they can go higher.

 But that opinion is off the mark.
 As far as this party is concerned, this composition is correct.

 However, no one in the party talks about it, and in the world, it's 'some kind of flashy adventurer' that stands out with his appearance, composition, Ellie-san's character and vivid strategies.
 Not only because of the initial impact, but also because it was accompanied by his abilities, which made him rank high.

''Haha........Yes, then seating.......seems to have already been done, so oh, and the other four.......yeah, can we leave it like this? ........Okay. So, first of all, what's your motivation for applying?

Are you stupid?

 The witch in personnel made his eyes twitch.

'Someone who has the guts to slay a brave man, right? Whoever wrote this is the best. Since you applied for the job because of that, of course you're going to fight off the brave men!

 --Oh.

 What's the norm?
 Her eyes told me so.

 The aspirants so far have been unsure, shy, or conversely, confident. They can't be sure of victory because they know the difficulty of defeating [the brave], and they can't say big things because they don't know. Those two kinds.

 But Ellie-san is different. She herself is a 【Brave Person】. There's no way she doesn't know what it means to defeat it.
 On top of that, she's going to defeat the brave men who participate in the raid battle.
 There was no hesitation on the faces of the other four people.

''But it is stated that you guys are ranked ninety-five.

So? If the rankings even determine who wins and who loses, they won't fluctuate forever.

No, you see...

Recruiting.

Sir?

 Majin-san is surprised by my words.

Please.

 He says in a Remeghton tone.

'You are a mastermind, you have a good eye for detail. You will not regret this, I assure you.

 Ellie smiled confidently.
