Well, it's a disaster to start the year. I didn't think that we would all be involved in such a disaster, that we did.
It's true, I was so upset afterwards. I didn't get released by the police for questioning or anything until two days after lunch.
I was lectured by a tough old man because I was rebelling against a terrorist group. Because I was rebelling against a terrorist group, I was being lectured by a burly old man. Afterward, they started questioning me, and I was probably the last one. Compared to that, you were just relaxing in your room, weren't you?
After the third day of the month, I hadn't planned to enter the dungeon today, but as a New Year's greeting, the party members are gathered in the party room.
However, the company is still closed.
They are dressed in their civilian clothes, coffee brewed by Katsura, and are sitting at their seats, relaxing in their own outfits, without needing to be in their pre-equipment attire.
Kaido and I are seated at a table in the living room.
Kitamiya and Minami are sitting on the sofa in front of the TV.
I knew you guys would be involved and I couldn't be bothered. I was busy at the end of the year for me. I was going to have a leisurely Himik's New Year's Eve Soba.
I wasn't able to take it all in as leisurely as Kaido said, but I was not held in time for half a day, even though I beat up on the terrorists.
From that point alone, I could still say that I had a decent three days, but the amount of work I had to do was not so great.
I don't want to boast about which was more difficult for me, so I'm going to listen to Kaido and the others.
According to them, all the people at the shrine were guiding the evacuation and responding to the situation on the spur of the moment, so they had to explain the situation to the police.
Kitamiya complains that he had a hard time talking to the police because of his professional experience and his inability to explain.
All of the people who were there were very familiar with the scene of an emergency and handled it appropriately.
There were many witnesses who saw this.
If they thought it was a competitor or some such relation.
Our company is a bundle of confidentiality.
Aside from Kaido, the rest are college and high school students.
The police would have put a question mark over their heads.
Looks and energy, experience and judgment would have seemed awkward to the police in Japan.
Hey, Jiro, what's going on?
Didn't you say you were going to spend New Year's Eve in a room with Suela and her friends?
Katsu and Amelia, the youngest duo in the room, bring Katsu's homemade cookies from the kitchen.
I reached for the cookies that Amelia placed on the table and wondered how to explain it to her.
It's true that something is wrong, but if you ask me if you can be honest about it, I'll say no.
I've gotten into a little bit of trouble for being involved in this case, so telling the truth about what happened on New Year's Day would lead to an information leak.
So.
What? It's a common holiday workday. I got called out for some leftover work at the end of the year.
I'll joke around like this.
"Oh, really? Not your lucky day. Are you a supervisor, by the way?
And the first person who reacts to hearing that he's going to work on a holiday is the man most associated with the word, Kaido.
At my former company, I had heard of a two-day weekend, but it was never going to happen.
Saturday is a weekday, that was the watchword.
No, this is something else. No, it's something else." "Well, we're all done and accounted for, so we can relax like this.
I think the sweet cookies are a little bitter because I remember a little bit of the past.
"Oh, really? My instincts tell me this is not just a holiday, that it is.
I don't want to be with Minami, but Jiro-san has something to hide.
And the difference between those who can get away with cheating and those who can't is evident.
Kaido, Masaru, and Amelia were honestly worried about us, but Minami, who sensed the scent of an incident and didn't want to miss anything interesting, chased after us with a glint of curiosity.
In Kitamiya's case, it's a face that senses something from intuition and experience and expects it to be a problem.
The only thing I can say is that I was working at the end and beginning of the year.
I can't say what I can't say if you look at me like that.
So I sip my coffee with a sober face.
Well, as long as I don't have any trouble coming my way, that's okay.
I am not convinced, that I am not convinced. The leader is definitely hiding some interesting information, that he is.
You can also have a look at the following tips to help you get a better idea of what to expect.
In addition .
I'll give you the right to touch my chest now, that I want you to tell me about it.
"Unfortunately, I'm happy with Suela and the others, so I'll refrain from that kind of talk in time.
Uh-huh and blatant poses.
Minami is well-groomed enough to be popular if you take care of your appearance.
But on the other hand, her behavior is often disappointing and she's probably not seen as the opposite s*x in many cases.
It takes a lot of work for me, too, but.
I'm disgusted and let out a sigh.
I'm doing what I can't say about others, but Minami is the most curious of all our members.
It's better to solve this kind of problem quickly than to deal with it poorly.
He growled at Minami, who groaned and tried to do something more.
Winning.
"Don't be weird.
"Aita!"?
Ask the guardians to subdue it.
You may have only tapped it lightly, but Minami, who held his head down in a deliberately large gesture, looked at the chopped Katsura.
But you are curious about it, aren't you?
I'm curious, but if the leader doesn't say it, it means he can't say it.
That is true.
Come on, I'll make you a cup of coffee.
"I crave chocolate, that I do.
"Yes, yes,
It's more of a tone of voice than an exchange of words, or an atmosphere where they know how close to each other they can step in.
You can feel that this conversation is possible only because you two have been childhood friends for a long time.
You'll be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your work.
As I recall, there was a schedule for the dungeon attack I built at the end of the year.
So you put down your coffee and while you were working on your computer, you noticed an email.
Open the email with a question mark in your mind that the sender is not Suela to your immediate supervisor, and that the email is from Human Resources.
......
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? I'm looking as pale as when I heard about the time when my boss almost made his company go bankrupt.
Kaido is worried about you, but now is not the time.
Your mouth is in a tight line, cold sweat running down your face, and your eyes are busily reading the text.
The content is quite simple, but you peruse the details to understand its content.
......
"No, please, senpai, I'd like an answer, but I'm scared, honestly?
I didn't listen to Kaido's fearful words, and just checked the mail in earnest.
I slowly closed my eyelids as I looked at the last note on the sender's mail.
"Phew.
Gently taking out a cigarette from my breast pocket, I walked to the kitchen with a flowing gesture, turned on the fan and smoked a cigarette.
It's the first dream of the new year.
I don't know what's going on, but how can you start escaping reality all of a sudden? You want an explanation?
I wanted to escape from reality, as Kaido said.
I wanted to excuse it as a dream and pretend I never saw that email.
"Is that reaction of the leader, New Year's trouble, that it is? You have a leader, that you do.
Jiro, stop saying that you're in trouble again. I'm tired after what happened.
I'm screwed. Jiro didn't get into trouble for the sake of it.
As I listen to the reactions of each of the women, the cigarette smoke calms my thoughts.
You want to believe that the content of the email is a lie, but reality doesn't tell you it's a lie.
I thought to myself, "I don't have a choice.
Rejoice, boys.
When she said she wanted to make you happy, it's usually because she only wants to make you happy, isn't it?
You know what to do, Kaido, you're good.
No, I didn't want to be praised for that.
With an unsure smile, I tell him to be happy.
Kaido replied to my expression with an equally unsmiling smile, but the others are similar.
Kitamiya makes a headache-inducing gesture, while Minami waves her hands in the air and says the event is here.
Amelia is frankly anxious to know what's going on, and Katsu again takes a chop stance to hold Minami down for now.
I've been approached for promotion. The time frame will be announced later. It is an executive training program, which means that you will be under the supervision of a supervisor and two instructors.
「「「「「「......」」」」」」
Promotion, it sounds good, but to summarize the contents of the email I received, it was not something I could be happy about.
It was also written that I, as the chief, would be appointed to a section manager or higher position in the future after completing my training, but that was not the point.
As for the part-time workers Kitamiya, Minami and Masaru, there was an offer of a full-time position, but this can be rejected.
By the way, can't I just refuse the training?
"I can do it, but I'm sure the higher-ups will think it's too hard to stay in this company if they kick this story down the road.
The company is trying to get us in.
I was going to keep working and I was going to socialize with the demon king's army to get them more involved.
There was no problem because I'm carrying my child in Suela's tummy.
But that was just me.
Kaido is still good.
He's an adult and can answer at his own risk.
"Sorry about Amelia, but I can't veto that.
Yes, it means your mother works here, so I don't blame her.
As for Amelia, the situation doesn't allow me to say no.
The one who manages Amelia's health is the Demon King's Army.
In addition, it is the Demon King's Army that supports their family's finances, and it would look bad for the organization if she refuses to take a position when they treat her well rather than badly.
She can't distance herself from this organization under these circumstances.
The problem is.
''It's great that the Demon King's Army appreciates all of us here, but conversely, it could be said that we're starting to see ourselves as a continuing strength here.
A part-time job is, at the risk of sounding worse than a full-time employee, a position of less responsibility.
It is a position that allows you to quit whenever you feel like it.
I feel that the intention is to avoid letting go of your hard-earned strength when you are told that you are quitting.
The top brass probably did not want to place Kitamiya and the others in such a position.
Perhaps, but there will be no problem with the job itself if you refuse this training program. But if you want to move up in this company, that's a different story.
While implying that's what it means to turn down a recommendation.
You let out a sigh as your face turns grim.
That's what I'm trying to say. You're not going to turn this down yourself, but that's the only thing that matters.
And what I've said so far is just a fact check.
I was just stating some common sense about what happens if you refuse the training.
Everyone here understands that.
And yet, you know that, and you put on your "yes" face.
At issue is.
It's scary what a superintendent and two instructors think of training, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yes, it gives me chills just thinking about it.
"I am alive, am I not?
"Ugh, I'm starting to tremble.
"If I survive, I will buy the dragon's fancy meat.
We were anxious to see what kind of training the three beings we know have in store for us.
Word of the Day
I think it's a good start, but I also think it's an uncertain future.
