Hey, Suela. I need to talk to you about something.
Jiro-san, is there something wrong with your work?
It may be a common occurrence while working, but do you ever get the feeling that the more experience you gain and the longer you've been with a company, the more difficult it becomes to ask others what they do for a living?
The interpretation of others that they are experienced and therefore should know what they are doing.
In some black companies, they will not teach you anything and will not take your questions, even if you are new to the company, but they will still teach you everything at the beginning.
But it's also true that as time goes on, it becomes harder and harder to hear.
Simply put, it's a matter of pride and the shame of letting people know that you don't learn enough.
But from my point of view, the embarrassment of hearing about it is still less severe than not hearing about it and making a mistake.
So.
"The love story of the South is not progressing at all, what do you think I should do?
That's a very difficult problem to solve, even if it's not ...... work.
As a woman, I decided to talk to Suela, who was sipping tea in the living room, about Nan and her friends.
As a man, it's difficult for me to sympathize with women's problems.
So it's dangerous to act based on your own values.
Even in a different world, I would like to hear a woman's opinion.
You sound quite interesting.
"Mm! I'm interested too!
Love stories are a favorite of women in other worlds as well.
In the blink of an eye, Memoria and Himikku will be there too.
I've prepared drinks and snacks for each of them, suggesting that I've been anticipating a long-term battle.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the current situation of Katsura and the relationship between Minami, Kitamiya and Kawasaki, involving Himiku and Memoria.
"It's not a problem here if you surround yourself with the first and second ladies, but in Japan it's not possible, is that what you're worried about?
That's part of it, but it's also part of the reason why ...... is the right way to go in the first place.
To be honest, the method of dropping Katsura by Minami and Kitamiya doesn't look good in the eyes of the public.
It's undeniable that they chose the quickest way.
I'm not sure if it was the right choice.
It's a good thing that you're not, but you can't help but wonder if there's a better way.
You take a gulp of beer and pour it down your throat to swallow your anxiety.
It's the same when you're at work.
Are you sure this is the right thing to do? Is it right? No oversight? I wondered if I was wrong.
Normally I wouldn't say anything weak because it would make me feel down, but now I kind of wanted them to listen to me.
It's okay.
Suela takes my hand gently and squeezes it.
Memoria, who was sitting next to me, will also hold your hand.
Himikku moves in and lays her hand on mine.
A wry smile escapes my lips as I wonder what the situation is, but the warmth and reassurance is comforting.
"If push comes to shove, all we have to do is transfer the registration of Minami-san and the others here.
...... Sometimes Suela is very dependable with her daring actions.
But I can't deny that the sense of security has gone in another direction.
Is that so?
"Oh.
Would you rather adopt Katsu-san in my house? We are a merchant family, so there are a lot of people who are like that, and that makes polygamy a reality.
Hmm, but it's all about the feelings of the person, isn't it? I don't think it's a good idea for us to talk and do things on our own. Lord, are you sure about Katsu's feelings?
"Ah.
Maybe it's because of that sense of security, or maybe it's because Suela's sometimes off-putting impressions make me feel terribly dependable, but before I knew it, my earlier fears had vanished.
Do you also have some advice on memoria? As I was considering this, I suddenly forgot to ask Himik's words.
It's partly because Katsu was a bit out of control, but I was also accustomed to this environment.
I made the wrong assumptions.
Himikku was right.
You will be able to find a lot of people who are willing to help you.
Women don't like the fact that men's consciousness floats, but conversely, some men can't love more than one woman, can they?
"Shit, I totally missed that. Good to know before it's too late. Thank you, Himiku.
"Mm! Good to be of service to the Lord!
You may say what's obvious, but it's not just me and Kaido.
Minami and Kitamiya also seem to have been pretty much tainted by this company.
I've naturally come to accept the harem as a matter of course.
It's fine to learn the common sense that neighbors are natural, but that must be properly differentiated from our common sense.
It's really fortunate that I realized this at this stage.
When it comes to ....... This is going to be a bit of a hassle. But we can't save you that trouble.
I don't want to imagine what will happen in the future with a single weakness and a slumped shoulder.
Kitamiya and Minami were planning to take on Katsu alone, but this could have been a bad idea.
The easiest thing to do would be for the three of them to get together as is, but if Katsu refuses to do so, it would complicate things.
The agreement between Minami and Kitamiya, which was based on the condition that the two of them would support Katsu, is over.
From there, they become rivals, so that's something to be dealt with, but I still think it's fine if they compete with each other.
If you push down your heart and cover your feelings, that's the problem.
I've heard that patience is poisonous to the body, but to give up a relationship, you need physical distance from the event.
There is no way you can be okay with the sight of it right in front of you.
There will always be problems later.
Whether it's south or north of the city.
In addition, Kawasaki is going to join us as a dungeon tester.
To be honest, we don't want to make our relationship even more complicated.
At worst, there's a possibility that Kitamiya and Minami will end up in a three-way race with Kawasaki.
I don't think he'll bring his private life into his work, but it's not a given.
I hope that Masaru has no unrequited love for Kawasaki, but I have a hunch that it won't end so peacefully.
I hope you will keep Kawasaki quiet to avoid a daytime drama-like development.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that you're not the only one.
Really, I don't know what kind of drama I'm talking about here.
I'm happy to hear it. Stories like yours are heard reasonably often in our circles. But I'm sure Keely would have a sensitive look on her face if she heard it.
"Oh.
If you ask other people about the current state of Katsu's life, you will get a variety of opinions, but in Japan, the majority of men would definitely go crazy with jealousy first.
Those who have girlfriends or even married people might be able to laugh and say a few words about it.
The subtle expression of Kaylee's that Suela mentions may be due to the mixture of emotions characteristic of dark elves.
"Well, we should be concerned about Katsura and the others, but I have to prioritize this one, if anything.
But, well, I can't say that I care about Katsu and the others all the time.
If you look at Suela's belly, you'll see that it's full of life.
You should not spend too much time working.
"Is Suela feeling okay? I've had a lot of support from Himik.
Yes, I'm in a stable phase, and my morning sickness wasn't that bad to begin with. Lately, I've been moving. I feel more energetic because of that.
The dark elves who profess that children are treasures of their race.
That's probably not the only reason.
She herself seems to rejoice in the growth of her child.
For a moment, I loved to see her still caressing her belly so tenderly and lovingly.
Seeing her reminds me that I need to prepare not only for work, but also for fatherhood.
When I was reading a book for men to read in the party room to support a pregnant woman, I got a warm look from the south.
I was teased a little at that time, but I can't be bothered with that.
I'm also reading childcare books, but it's difficult.
The father's participation in child-rearing requires a lot of effort on the part of men.
When I am at home, I try to take care of Suela as much as possible, but it may not be enough.
Himik is in charge of all the housekeeping, so I don't have to worry about that side of things.
However, I still worry about not putting a burden on her.
I don't know if they know the s*x of the child before it's born in Suela's country. It seems to be pretty easy to find out in Japan.
"In the Dark Elves, the spirits will tell you. Boy or girl, though, it's all a bit of a celebration.
I'll have a mage identify the vampires. We all do it because there are problems with heirs, etc.
"We angels are judged by the vibrations of our souls.
"I think it's a different world when the word 'echo' isn't even mentioned.
There is a medical facility in this company that is better equipped than a poorly run private hospital.
Thanks to this, both mother and child are doing well by going there on a regular basis.
This made me wonder, so I asked him about it, but as expected of otherworldly modern medicine, he uses a different method to determine the problem.
Then. Do you know the s*x of Himik already?
"I would know if you were in me, but as you can see, you're wrapped up in Suela's soul right now, so it's hard to tell.
I see.
"Do you mind?
That's, well, it's my first child. It's my first child.
In the process of visiting the hospital, we hadn't yet discussed the s*x of the child, so I couldn't ask, but the timing was just right, so I'm here to ask, but even Himik can't tell right now.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't care, just like Memoria asked.
It's her first child.
I'm happy for boy or girl.
As long as Suela and the child are healthy, I have no complaints.
"Huh, we won't know the gender until we're close, Jiro.
Yeah, right. I guess I was a little hasty.
I know you're excited to see Suela's belly getting bigger and bigger.
I'm really looking forward to coming home after work these days.
Huh, I can't wait to have a baby with Jiro-san.
"Me too. I can't wait to see the Lord's children.
It's a gift from heaven, you know. All I can say is that I can't do it on my own, but I'll try.
I'm an angel, but I can't help you either, okay?
It's just a figure of speech.
Maybe it's because Suela comes home early these days, or maybe it's because I come home to find her there.
It's a relief to see her waiting for you at home with her growing belly.
However, there are two people who are envious of the scene, and due to the longevity of vampires and angels, it is difficult to get pregnant.
This is the only thing we can do is to wait patiently.
We'll have to have a wedding when the baby is born.
"Yes.
Me, Suela, Himik and Miss Evia. It's going to be a pretty big deal.
"How long will it be?
I hope it will be done in three days or so.
"Seriously?
I have to have a wedding ceremony that I've been putting off due to Suela's pregnancy and the rebellion, but with the incident with Evia, it's going to be very different from the one I had in mind.
I'm sure it will be very busy with the new baby.
With the arrival of the newcomer, it will make you busy at work.
It'll be a lot of work.
But still.
You gotta go for it.
Yeah, good luck for her. Dad.
Oh, that's a new thing to call it.
"Hmm, I'd like to call you Dad.
Yes, I like it better, too.
I will not give up this happiness.
The company I was at before wasn't so sure about the future.
But now that I'm here, I think I can see where I'm going.
It's new in its own way.
"Well then, would you like me to call you now to familiarize you with it?
No, I still wish you could call me by my name.
More family to carry.
There will be more juniors to lead.
Someone once said that life is a learning experience, and that's exactly what it is.
I still have much to learn.
Each time I listen, I stop and learn and go.
It's just the same thing.
It may be hard work, but...
Did Jiro-san think of a name for his child, by the way?
That's the question, do you want a name like Suela and her friends or do you want a name like the Japanese?
I'm interested in this name.
I'll take whatever name you and the Lord come up with.
I wouldn't consider it a bother.
As long as they're around.
Word of the Day
The question will never end unless you stop learning.
