After all, it feels good to move my body, and only a paralyzed laugh comes out of my mouth.
My clothes and armor are caked in dust and my face is probably similar.
I'd say the battle with the dragons was that intense.
But still, the exhilaration after moving your body and the moderate fatigue mixed in with it is quite pleasant.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about this.
You can feel it and get a sense of accomplishment for your work.
And although it doesn't feel bulky, it's not as heavy as it looks, but there's no need to mention the large amount of contents it contains.
Is it a confirmation of your accomplishment or another emotion that makes you slam your bag.
Don't you think so, guys?
「「「「.........」」」」」
Then, in a good mood, I turn around to ask for consent and see the exhausted newcomers lying in their favorite postures, each of them in a variety of postures, as if to say the corpses are dead.
They are sitting in various postures in a droning atmosphere.
Can you believe that this figure is the opposite of my high tension! And felt as if I was being prodded.
That's understandable.
You were lucky that you were brave enough to fight off that horde of dragons.
But that dungeon was a dungeon where if you didn't kill them fast enough, they'd just show up one after the other.
A little rookie for you? It was a tough environment.
"Oh, was that a little too much?
No, definitely not a little bit.
"Oh, Amelia recovered?
In battle after battle, the physical strength of the newcomers has been exhausted to the point that not a drop of energy is left in their bodies.
The newcomers, driven to the point of running out of energy, seemed to lose their minds as soon as they escaped the dungeon, and with a sigh of relief, they fell to their knees more and more to show with their bodies that they were at their limit.
As expected, we moved them out of the way near the entrance, but everyone who participated was exhausted, and I was impressed that they came back without dropping their weapons.
Amelia, who is relatively strong and experienced, was only a little tired and had the mental capacity to point out my words with her hands on her hips.
It's not just the words I pointed out, but also the words I didn't have in mind, and I'm aware that it's more than a little, so I can't help but laugh and scratch my cheek.
It's hard to keep up with our usual pace, Yojiro.
"No, you know. I just work harder than I thought I would, you know?
You can't help but make excuses for your younger colleagues who warn you that you're taking it too far, but it's painful to say so yourself.
When you see the newcomers working hard for the first time, you can't help but cheer them up and encourage them to do their best.
I wonder if it's a feeling that the instructors overdo it when they train us.
I'm not complaining. Jiro, aren't you being influenced too much by the instructors?
"Hahahahahaha! It's undeniable!
"You can't laugh it off, but you can't laugh it off!
If you think about it, eventually the other guy will warn you.
But I need an excuse.
I was going to pull out at some point, but Ishan, Benny and the others worked harder than I expected.
But Ishan, Benny, and the others were working harder than I expected, and I wanted to find out what my limits were, so I postponed it a bit longer, and when I thought I was almost there, I slowed down a bit when I was fighting, and this is what I got.
Well, one wrong move could have been a disaster.
I must reflect on this.
But Jiro-san's great thing is that no one was injured.
"Yes, I'm tired, but I'm not hurt, just scratched. That's what I'm talking about.
But if I may be excused, I was soft on them, but I didn't cut corners.
I made sure the newcomers were well supported.
I killed the enemy as fast as I could when I thought it was dangerous, and I provided support and cover.
Occasionally, I've stepped in between the attacks and covered for them.
That's why I feel that I've trained them, not so well, but at the edge.
Hey, Mr. Tanaka. One question.
"Oh, what an Ishan.
I'd like to say that out loud, but that's my ego.
In fact, I was physically on the edge too much.
I need to reflect on that.
I'm aware of this, so while I'm quietly receiving a lecture from the younger man, Ishan stands up and asks me a question, raising his hand to whip my tired body.
He is diligent, but I answer his questions.
Is it always this hard for you?
And I'm sure the devastation will make you curious to ask questions.
His expression hasn't changed, but his eyes are shaking and he can't hide his uneasy mood.
"If you're talking about us, the answer is no. Compared to today's guy, it's not much. Huh?
Hmmm, I'm used to it, so it's kind of weird. ......... Yes, less than usual.
It's more than a prep session, but it's more than half a day long, for us.
If it's just me, I'll just say I'm crazy, but when Amelia and Katsu, who are younger than Ishan, say it, my words will have more credibility.
The part of you that has power and is elated has been corrected during the training, but you still have the awareness and confidence that you have gained power.
Amelia and Katsu's words were enough to shake that confidence.
It's just that, as a rookie, that amount of fighting is unbelievable.
But the premise of this story is different for me and Ishan.
''To begin with, the Dragon King's dungeon is not a place where a rookie would go. Other dungeons have high killing intent, but the Dragon King's dungeon is a cut above the rest.
We've been working for a year as dungeon testers, forging our way through the dungeons in some strange way.
In contrast, today is the first time Ishan and his friends have taken on a dungeon.
There's a big difference between the newcomers and the experienced ones.
They should be okay with a lower standard.
In fact, the first Kirou dungeon I ever went into.
Even though I went solo, I never faced that large a crowd.
It may be that they were worried about standing around to cover their numerical inferiority, but the amount of fighting today would have been enough for a week at that time.
"You guys are great. You fought through it and came back on your feet. You've done something I never would have done back then. Be confident.
"......... yes!
Praise for their achievements brings a smile to the tired faces of the newcomers.
Ishaan too, with a small fist pose, expressing his joy.
It's a natural thing to be praised for your hard work.
"Well, next time you'll have to take your skills into account. Next time we won't be here.
Just don't think that you can do the same thing this time around as well as the next, that's for sure.
Yes, sir! You don't have to worry too much about that part, because he replied cheerfully, "I'll have fun when I get home?
"Have fun when you get home, okay? I'm sure your status is in trouble.
And just by pulling this one, Ishan and his friends have probably grown a head above the other newcomers.
This might be taken as power leveling, but that's okay.
Today's achievement is definitely their achievement.
It's up to them to make the most of it or kill it in the future.
It's nice to have that expectation, but this may be more important to them than their status.
Also, you can expect to be rewarded with the materials from today's monster. With the number of people here, and the materials we've got, I think we can give you a fair amount of money.
"Reward!
And expect results along with experience, and there's another person who will whip your weary body up and help you up.
It's Katagiri.
I was surprised that you survived so lightly, but I was honestly impressed by your persistence.
Maybe it was her own style or she had honed it during her short training period, or maybe she had talent, but she and Zhu Ya were the only ones who were able to fight the dragon.
Of course it was in conjunction with other testers, but they killed several dragons.
''Oh, here's your reward.''
I'm sure she's not dreaming, and you tell her it's real.
"Brothers, you made it. We'll have a good meal for you today!
You're going to be able to get the most out of it.
You're going to be able to find out the reason why you don't want to talk about it, and if you don't want to talk about it, then there must be a reason why you don't want to talk about it.
I've dreamed of grilled meat tonight!
Oh, let's not ask what happened.
Let's just say in our hearts that the barbecue rarely brings us this much joy.
We split the money this time.
So it's about twenty people.
In any other dungeon, it's about a drop in the bucket, or at best, enough for a meal out.
But this time we hunted a booming dragon.
I also killed a big game.
She has about twenty of the most expensive Japanese bills on hand.
What kind of place would they go to if they were to roast all of it? And it's not fair to interrupt.
For now, we want to let her and her dreams of meat soak in the sense of accomplishment, but it's too early to let her indulge in her dreams.
Let's have her face the reality at the very end.
Now, I'm sorry for the relief, but when there's candy, there's whips. Each of you will write up a report on today's dungeon test and submit it to me within one week with your suggestions for improvement. You can write until the last minute, but if you're afraid to resubmit it, submit it as soon as possible.
Report? And the looks on the faces of the newcomers who looked at me like I was making a squeaking sound like a tin doll seemed to say, "I can't believe it.
Our job as leaders is to go into the dungeon and support them in their battles and help them learn how to write their reports.
This is our job so far.
I gave a good smile and thumbs up to the newcomer who gave me a look that was hard to accept reality.
Well, get a good night's rest and work hard tomorrow.
Give firm instructions for your next job.
You've heard that a long time ago, right?
A field trip is a field trip to get home.
Then working people also have this common sense.
Work is work until you do what you have to do and report back.
You might say that's not what people do...but unfortunately this is our job.
The dungeons are challenged and conquered, and the parts that have been conquered are improved from the conqueror's point of view, and a report is prepared to prevent the conquering of the dungeons.
This is a repetitive process.
Although the salary and benefits are good, I used to laugh when I just joined the company, thinking that I was strangling myself.
What's the pay?
Oh, don't worry about that, I'll show you how to pay up at your favorite place afterwards. You'll get it then.
"Ah! Meat wasn't a dream! Now I can fight!
You're exhausted and don't want to think about your work, but you'd rather not think about it unless you can get the results on the spot.
Inspired by Katagiri's joyful attitude, the air around you begins to lighten while you face reality.
You've rested a bit, and you're relieved of your fatigue.
You clap your hands to the newcomers who are discussing how much you'll be paid.
I thought I'd get some complaints from them, but they unexpectedly stand up straight away.
Okay, then, everyone follow me.
It's not exactly a dash for the sunset, but it does move to Memoria's store with the newcomers in tow.
The store was unusually crowded that day, and the newcomers were surprised at the amount of money they got from Memoria.
This was just the beginning of today's exchange.
I laugh with Memoria as the newcomers rejoice each time they receive the thick fruits of their labor in a brown envelope.
If only Katagiri was involved, I was not laughing, but rather was taken aback, but it was inevitable.
I didn't expect you to cry like a waterfall.
At the very least, I advised him to get a little better equipment, but I don't know how much success he'll have.
We'd like to disperse here and leave Memoria's store, but we're done with our work for the day.
Well, shall we go too?
"Yes.
"OK!
Unfortunately, as the leader, we have more work to do.
To close out the work, there must be a report.
We headed to the conference room where other testers were gathering to report on the day's work.
