The last face-to-face meeting was at last, and it was Kuro's turn. However, as far as Kuro is concerned, there was no problem at all, just as I had expected.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get along with your mother and father in just a few minutes, because Kuro is a good communicator, just like he was able to get along with Aoi and Youna.
　But even so, the tension has not completely disappeared from Mom and Dad's faces. It's not that they're not satisfied with the conversation with Kuro, but they're concerned about the details of the plan to hire them at Kuro's business meeting later on.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'd like to know what they're talking about.

I'm sure Akari and Kazuya are curious about this, so let's talk about the job.
Oh, yes!
Nice to meet you.

　Finally, Mom and Dad began to talk about the job offer, which was the main topic of discussion for them. Black took out some papers and handed them to them as he began to explain.

I'm sure you've heard some of this from Kaito-kun, but what I'm proposing to you two is that you spend a year training yourself to become a magic tool maker. I'm not sure if it's called Kenshoo Jishusei in the other world.　I'll get into the nitty-gritty of it.

　As he said this, Black continued to speak, pointing to a sheet of paper, which would probably have the yearly schedule written on it.

It's a very simple process, the mornings are for classroom learning... the basic and knowledgeable aspects of magic, and the afternoons are for practical skills... starting with really simple tasks in the beginning, learning by actually touching the magic tools. And then after a year, they'll take a simple exam, and if they pass, they'll be officially hired as magic tool technicians. After a year, they will take a simple exam, and if they pass, we will officially hire them as magic tool technicians.
What if I fail that test?

　Mom visits with a slightly anxious look on her face when she hears the word "exam", but Black returns the words with a gentle expression.

''Don't worry about it. I won't dismiss you for failing the exam, you know. Of course, you could be dismissed for not studying well or for having a problem with your normal behavior, but even if you study hard and fail the exam, I won't let you off the hook. In that case, you will have to study for 10 days and take the test again. As long as you don't have a problem with your usual attitude, you can try again and again until you pass the test.
I see. Thank you.
'Yeah, do you have any other questions?　If you don't have one, I'll explain the day's events next.

　

Then, after an hour-long lunch break, we'll have another two hours of practical training starting at lunchtime.
"...Uh, Master Chrome?　Does that mean it's all five hours combined?

　This time Dad asks with a somewhat confused expression on his face, and Black returns the words with a smile on his face.

'Yeah, I guess so.'
...Is that only during training?
Yeah?　No, it's the same after I'm officially hired. Maybe you'll get your hours shifted, but the work hours for the commissary will remain the same.

Is that weird?　　About five hours of practical work?

　We are both stunned. No, I was surprised too. Maybe it's because I've been in Japan, but I was expecting a typical working day to last more than eight hours, so I was surprised.
　While I was thinking about this, I decided to ask Kuro about something that was bothering me.

Black, so how much do you and your father make in salary?
That's what I'm wondering about, isn't it? Yes, so I'll explain the salary... I'm sorry to tell you both this, but while you are studying, your salary is lower than that of a full-time employee. And the extra salary for the year........well, what's it called a bonus?　And that's only after I've officially hired you.

　
　For the two of us, we can study magic and get paid, so we can't complain if the salary is a little low.......

''So my salary while studying is 'R3,000' a month.
" " "?
I'm not going to be able to get any more than that. Also, you won't get a bonus while you're studying, but if you don't have a problem with your study habits, your salary will be doubled during the months of Te Hikaru and Tenko, so you can count on that.
"!!!

　3,000R 300,000 Japanese yen?　Plus, the moon of light and the moon of heaven is $600,000?　And after taxes and such are deducted, the take-home pay?
　.........that's a bonus of 300,000 yen per year for 2 months.......

........by the way, Black?　When you're officially hired?
''When I'm officially hired, it will be a magic tool technician's base salary of 'R5,000'. And of course, I'll get a raise!　Also, there are two bonuses, one for the month of light and one for the month of heaven. That's 'three months' worth of salary each!

　500,000 in take-home pay per month and a bonus of 6 months a year - isn't that suddenly in the 10 million a year class?　No way! This is the world's largest trade association....
　Listening to Black's explanation, Mom and Dad were also stunned. In fact, even my dad started to get his head in his hands.

'..........4 hours of work and 500,000 in hand?　Six months' worth of bonuses?　.........White.......the other world......is super white......
...Let's see, Kazuya-kun?　Are you okay?　Is there anything that's bothering you?
Oh, uh ... how many days a month do you work?
'Once you're officially hired, there's a change in work schedule and all that, so it's not absolute, but it's usually '15 days a month'?
'.........half a month off, 4 hours of work and 500,000 in hand........otherworldly awesome......different level.... ...

　

You know what, Black?　Just to be sure, is that the same requirement for the other trainees?
Yeah?
Well that's great that's a hell of a deal.
Yeah?　If you're talking about conditions, I think Chartier's place is better than mine, right?　Chartier's people have similar conditions to ours, and the bonus is '10 months' twice a year.
It's awesome, another world.

　I can't help but say the same thing as my dad. But I don't think there's anything I can do about it.......it's a different world, it's on a different level.......
