"Something wrong, Minami-chan? Kitamiya-chan and I have been getting along strangely well lately.
Well, there's a lot going on.
No, what do you mean by various? I know we've known each other for a while, but the sight of her holding a fashion magazine is just uncomfortable to me. ......
"I'll compliment you on what you said in a small voice, but I won't help you if you beat me up later.
Our daily lives have regained some peace.
Masaru's mental instability still needs attention, but he has gained confidence by experiencing various jobs and has stabilized for now.
Along with that, Minami and Kitamiya have come to care for Masaru.
But, well.
"Ah, Minami-san, do you think this is good?
Mmm, it may indeed be cute, that it is, but one outfit costs 30,000 yen, that it is not impossible to buy ......, that it is, but the event is this month, that it is a necessary expense, that it is.
You make some money, too. But, well, that's on the high side, but if you get it all together, it's about that much. I mean, what have you been doing with your clothes and stuff?
"Buying a mannequin of a cheap guy, that it is. This will never be an outlier, that it is.
There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a woman's thing.
"I don't buy a lot of clothes, either, but that's a bit
Instead, a new scene of Minami reading a fashion magazine and Kitamiya giving fashion advice has been seen a lot lately.
Normally, Kitamiya and Minami would have clashed a bit more and developed into an argument, but that scene is rarely seen these days.
It's a change from the feminine conversation of dungeon talk, centered on Minami, with Amelia and Kitamiya in between, it's a conversation that's typical of an older man following the latest trends.
You can also have a look at a few of the most recent fashion magazines brought in by Kitamiya, and look at Minami, who groans in disbelief.
I'm sure there were some clothes you thought were cute while watching it.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
You're going to be able to get the most out of it.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.
The body shape seems to be in good shape thanks to the daily dungeon attack, but he was completely indifferent about makeup and clothes.
As I've said many times in the past, the material is good for the South.
Dress up and change.
This was evidenced during the last training dance practice.
You were usually too sloppy and minimally groomed.
I think that's going to change this time.
This is steadily working, I heard that he was picked up by Minami from Kitamiya when he took her out for shopping.
It was the right thing to do to check on Minami's safety without mentioning her smug expression behind her.
You can find a lot of people who have been in the same boat for a long time.
It's a good thing that you're okay with that, but ...... what is your senior citizen doing?
"This? I'm preparing for orientation for second-year students. There's a lot to do.
It would be nice to be able to look at the scene and be at ease, but I can't just look at it.
We're working people, we don't just have time off, we have work to do.
After hearing the change in their behavior, Kaido was interested in what I was making with my computer.
Then he told Kaido about the second term students.
It means that we dungeon testers have a new junior.
Time really does fly.
Like the ashes of a now-fired cigarette.
It's almost a year since our dungeon tester started.
Looking back, I can't help but think that the days have gone by in a flash.
The number of people who were here at first has dwindled a lot.
We're all acquainted with each other.
The efficiency of dungeon capture is quite poor. In order to overcome this situation, the second cohort of testers has been hired.
The story itself has been in the works for a long time, but due to the rebellion and overseas expansion, the schedule has been pushed back a bit.
Nevertheless, you've finally made it this far.
"Oh, you're going to do it?
I thought it would be nice to hear from someone with firsthand experience. You're on the line.
This time, the company is putting a lot of effort into preventing rapid retirements like the first term students.
They're also reviewing their support system.
I've heard from Suela that they're going to do something to bolster the armor store in the underground facility.
However, Suela told me that they are still struggling to find the right support system because some people think that too much support may reduce the accuracy of the dungeon tests.
In addition, they are planning to add stories of our dungeon testers' experiences to bridge the gap between imagination and reality, just like us first-years.
I don't have any complaints about the paperwork and the role of the lecturer on the day of the event, because I don't have any complaints about the decrease in the number of dreamers.
Uss! Well, it looks like the rest of the party is looking forward to resupplying.
Fortunately, we have the manpower.
Kaido himself seems to be on board, which is a big help to us.
"Parties without vanguards seem to be stuck in the dungeon attack. Even the vanguard fire clarity is out of options these days. You want to make sure you have the strength at this point.
And the story of this second term is quite a hot topic within the company.
Rumor has it that they have succeeded in securing a tester with a fairly high magic aptitude.
It's not outside the realm of rumors, but it's a pretty credible story that even Suera doesn't deny.
There's even a rumor that someone with a magical aptitude of ten is coming. We might even break our senior's record.
I'm not going to be defeated that easily, but I'm just going to do my best to bring in people like that. But you'd better be fired up. There's no point in losing to someone who comes along after you.
Can not laugh off the gossip of Kaido at the stage where there is a real-life example of mom .
There is a possibility that if you're looking for it, you might find it.
It's time to go back to the drawing board and get back into the swing of things.
It's nice to have less work to do, but we have some pride to build up, even if it's only for a short time.
I can't show you the shameful sight.
Do you have data on the new hires? Look, you're going to be colleagues with us.
"We're not sure yet. As you can imagine, for privacy reasons, that's an important document that won't be passed around to us. I'm sure they'll release some information once I get into training, but I'm sure we'll have more information after I'm officially on board.
You know,
"Unusual.
"What's that?
The information on the second student rejected by Kaido is something that the other testers are desperate for.
You're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for, and you're going to be able to find out what you're looking for.
The answer is the same as Kaido's, but for me, Kaido's simple acceptance was unusual.
"No, I usually thought I'd be able to find a cute girl to talk to: ......
Like in my previous company, when Kaido found out that a new girl was a woman, we often talked about whether she was cute or not.
At that time I was so busy with my work that I didn't listen to half of what Kaido had to say, judging him by his ability to do his job, but I remember being overwhelmed by the gossip about the new girl who joined the company.
It's not that Kaido doesn't care, but rather he speaks to me with a gentle look as if he's enlightened.
The same is true for Amiri, but I'm glad to hear that Shyk and Miq are smiling and saying "welcome home". I haven't found an answer yet, but I think that until I settle things between me and them, my female relationships will remain clean.
It seems that Kaido has changed his mind as well, as he is spending more and more time with Amiri and her sisters.
I'm not sure if what I'm saying is dangerous, but I can't speak for other people either, so I just say good luck and end the conversation.
And...
?
"I didn't think I'd ever be able to celebrate Valentine's Day with such peace of mind!
...... I'm so relieved to see that reaction.
I let out a wry smile and put a cigarette in my mouth as Kaido quickly changed back to his original self, despite the fact that I am impressed that he thinks about a lot of things.
It's not Christmas and it's not New Year's. It's Valentine's Day, which is just a weekday to the black corporate bastards! And this year we can spend it as a winner!
Kaido danced with great joy as he soared to victory.
The women look at Kaido for his reaction and wonder what's going on, but they immediately go back to talking about fashion magazines, thinking it's the usual.
If you look at the nearby calendar, you'll see that it's almost Valentine's Day.
If only they knew about Valentine's Day.
I don't think so, but just in case it was meant to be a warning to Kaido, he froze.
...... you.
"That's okay! I'm sure you know that! I've been watching a lot of TV lately!
This kind of talk can't come from a man, so I won't be able to teach you.
So you say it's okay, but you say it as if to reassure yourself.
Well, at the very least you'll get it from the ladies in my party.
That's right!
"...... as long as we don't forget.
"Senpai, did you say something?
No, it's nothing. Speaking of which, Kaido, how'd you correct that report I gave you earlier?
"Ah.
It's good to float, but do your job.
"Ugh, whoosh.
I am in the midst of rejoicing and enjoying that peace, but I guess this peace is only temporary.
I remember what Suela told me at dinner yesterday.
"I'd like to live in peace.
Although the country is recovering from the civil war, unlike last year, the current situation is far from being rock solid.
And the incidents that occurred while we thought we were on solid ground.
Both Suela and Evia tried to do everything possible, but we can't predict all the trouble.
The seven generals are also missing a corner, and they are starting from a different situation than last year.
Under such circumstances, the joining of the second generation, there will definitely be a disturbance or two.
"No, becoming a father was a big event for me to begin with.
"Hmm? What did you say, senpai?
I said, "You're going to have a tough year.
Yeah, right!
Kaido, who looks pale for a moment, then smiles and agrees with me, as if to blow away his anxiety.
I thought it was going to be another hectic year, but, well, we'll figure it out.
Another side
Sandstorm.
That's what I've seen since I was a child.
Cherishing one source of sunshine and using one water source carefully.
Fighting the daily hunger.
I ran hard to feed my little brother and sister as much as possible.
When I was little I asked everyone on the street for money.
When I grew up, I worked hard to find a job and take care of my brothers for less money.
But the reality was cruel and harsh.
With the money I've earned, I can't take care of my brothers and sisters.
If I didn't do anything, I was afraid that my brothers would be killed if I didn't do anything, but I couldn't do anything but recklessly cling to the little money I had.
But finally, the day I had been dreading has come.
One of my brothers caught a fever.
A fever so high that you could tell it was a very bad disease.
He should not be in the hospital.
All you can do is make sure he's well hydrated and fed for a little while.
He was getting weaker and weaker by the day, and it was the least I could do.
Oh god, please help my brother.
I don't care what happens to me.
So please help my brother.
All I can do is pray.
All I can do is pray.
Except when I was at work and when I was taking care of my brother, I was praying all the time.
Please help me, god, please help me.
I just kept praying.
"Well, the wish is answered. I got 'em.
Was the voice an auditory hallucination or was it just me going crazy?
The voice echoed firmly in my head and lingered in my ears, and then my brother was enveloped in a light, and within seconds the light subsided, and there was my brother's calm, sleeping form.
The moment I thought I was saved, the moment I knew it was a miracle.
I gave thanks to God again.
"Blessed art thou, beloved Son of the Sun. Blessed art thou.
This is how God met me.
