Chapter 2 (2/2)
Oy, oy, what the hell
“I see You have quite some motivation there Then please state your PR and the depart to enlist in”
“Yes! In … (text oe overseas, and h school years, I went to the nationals for kendo, and…”
The self-advertisement continued
Is that guy for real? Neito found hiue So he’s a rich kid from a nice place, handsome, a sports to Metallica? Go apply to an advertising firm already
“I plan to contribute no matter what depart depart mysterious creatures!”
Oh~ I see Now isn’t that nice Go die
Ikeno finished talking, and next up was Maki’s turn
“I want to triumph over your industry’s rival-like existence, the Rocks I wanted to aid whatever plans you have against them, and that is why I have applied”
Rocks… ah, those heroes, right She sure is a strange one Aren’t heroes supposed to be everyone’s aspirations? She’s cute, but as I thought, she’s a bit strange I anization after all
“I skipped grades, and graduated from America’s MIT, and I hold two PhDs I think I will be useful to the maintenance and improvement of your company’s resident mysterious creatures”
But she sure is cute~ And s Even so, cute
In a situation so far-removed from reality, all little Neito could do was send his mind to some far-off land
“Well then, Ko”
He was suddenly snapped back to reality His first interview A large company, and evil at that The expansive personal records of the other candidates While he was a timid and incompetent NEET All the conditions were assembled for well-deserved panic
“I was d-deeply impressed by your company’s ideals…”
“And of what ideals do you speak of?”
“That is, um… well…”
“Do you have a hobby or specialty?”
“… My hobby is the internet, and specialty… well… I’m level three at the abacus”
“… I see That’s enough”
It’s all over It wasn’t just Neito, the other applicants thought the same
Maki was taking soe to grin
Yep Interview over Even for evil organizations, finding a job is hard if it’s a major enterprise
In the first place,here was already out of place Yes, let’s just have some curry on the way ho his train of thought
The old man who had remained silent up to now opened his mouth
“I believe you caht?”
The old enerate quite a stir
The public offering likely meant that website Based on his way of speech, that meant the others present were different And based on this cla
“I saw it on the net… and…”
“I see, I see Then I have my own question for you”
The old entle and kind As if to put you at ease as you listened to them But that in itself was scary
“You want to change the world You answered that online, did you not?”
The words not co out, Neito could only nod
“You want to change the world Even if that means to destroy the current one?”
? This s Now isn’t that obvious dalouys Each and everyone one of theet Hyahhah’d and drop dead After a little while, Neito gave his answer
(TL: The ters in the wasteland ht a certain master of the Hokuto shi+nken I really don’t kno to translate this one)
Maki felt a little relieved as her turn to speak game to an end
But that feeling was quite a fleeting one indeed
The boy she had just met today, Neito-kun
The responses he gave were simply too terrible To be blunt here, he didn’t look like someone who should be there to take the Metallica exae of the coreatest of elites in every field and other special people were offered listings It’s not like she was looking down on hie
As his interview continued to go downhill, she struggled to contain her restlessness
But after that, she found herself a little surprised Of all things, he had passed the public offering’s criteria, and come all the way to the final interview point She had heard of it in rumor That unlike those that had to take a nue, there was an unspecified nueted online that could take a back-door route
What was needed to find the public offering was a large amount of luck And to pass the public exale quality that had to be in abundance There was only ever a single person to be chosen through the public offering This is only the talk of rumor, but the online examination was said to be one personally written by Metallica’s big boss
Just a single quality Evil That was all
Neito didn’t look like a villain If she had to say, he was reserved, and shy, and a little aard That’s how she had been looking at him, and she did have a bit of a favorable impression
So learning he had passed the public offering evaluation, and come all the way here was truly a surprise
After that, the only elderly person in the room asked Neito his question
If he wanted to change the world, even if itthe current one
Maki felt a shi+ver run down her spine as she heard the interviewer’s question
Everyone out there had their own dissatisfactions with the world Doesn’t that e it to some extent?
But even at the cost of the current world? Was there anyone out there who could give an immediate reply from the bottom of their hearts?
It was so everyone should die! With lighthearted feeling Right?
The oldin it that drew out the true intentions of its listeners She knew Neito wouldn’t tell a lie
Even if Maki had been given the very saht that she would have to answer, ‘I don’t know’
Ikeno san sitting beside her would likely answer, ‘of course,’ with it being an interview and all Or so he’d try, but with this a at all
Neito-kun… Even with it being her intervieell, Maki ended up looking his way
He raised his face, and answered Much too plainly, too naturally
“Ah, yes”
And at that moment, his expression was simply too natural But around the boy who looked a little unreliable, for just a brief ht she saw a jet black flame It eak, and faint, but definitely there
She felt she was being drawn into the depths of his eyes
Hm… huh…? Why am I… huh?
Ain her chest
The moment the interview ended, Neito immediately went on his way hoer It’s over I’ve failed
At first, I thought it was a joke, or a scam of an employ… Anyone’d get depressed Let’s go get that curry He thought as he walked down the hallway
“U-um! Neito-kun!”
If you call out to h it isn’t high enough to pass interviews He couldn’t’ help but beat hi wrong So while that was going on in his head, he reet her as calmly as he could
“Good work back there… Do your best in Metallica I’ll be cheering for you”
When he answered like that, Maki looked down, and fidgeted She grabbed the hem of her skirt
? Does she have to use the restroom?
“N-Neito-san, aren’t you entering the company too…”
A kind person Feeling Maki’s kindness, his despair and shock only increased
Perhaps this girl would have been ht
“Haha… nope, not happening There’s no way that one would get h”
“Please don’t say so like that”
Neito thought a bit About why this person would say such things
Ah, I see She feels sorry because she’s the one getting the position
Oh don’t worry~ you don’t have to paylike that I can’t think of you as a person joining an evil organization Please marry me
“Then, I’ll be off”
He felt apologetic foraway
On that day, in thewas being held
“So we can take on Ikeno-kun and Mayuzuht?”
“Right Ikeno is qualified enough, and Mayuzumi is… cute, after all”
“You always bring it to that Mayuzumi-san is also more than qualified Just look at her history”
“Co about that Komori kid?”
“I ize, but we are unable to… shtick, right?”
“Wait”
“Ah! … What are you here?”
“Oh, I just thought I’d puta bit”
“So?”
“Thatone You’d be hard pressed to find a loser aura of that extent The losing tea at the world, but if you polish hiemstone in him Can’t you put him in with respect to me?”
Thelasted two hours
And another two hours after that, a single letter was delivered to Neito’s doorstep
“How rare Mail for me… hain and… Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!”
Froanization’s new hire
It was a phrase that he felt would hter if he said it aloud, so he decided to whisper it in his heart
