Culture Festival is one of the school events that every Japanese person has experienced.

It is often heard that while the festival was fun, the preparation was more fun.

It may be because of the atmosphere of conviviality and solidarity among peers, and it may be because of the psychological atmosphere of the group, which I also experienced, so I do not deny it.

Now, why do I start talking about this all of a sudden?

”d*mn, there's nothing more boring than doing the prep work alone.

The ashtray was already a pile of cigarette handles that he had smoked up to this point.

I was aware that I was a heavy smoker, but since I had a girlfriend named Suela and Memoria and got a job as a physical dungeon tester, I should have smoked fewer cigarettes than before.

But after the reward for yesterday's hard work, a room date with Suela, the pile of work appeared in front of me again, as if to say ”you know what you're doing”.

I wanted to escape from reality when Document A appeared, Document B appeared, Document C appeared, and so on like some famous RPG that defeats the Demon King, blaring background music like some kind of Kômon-sama's song, saying that life is easy and life is hard.

And then, as if reminiscent of a demon king, the supervisor slowly appeared and said, ”You're doing too much.

”That's too much.

He simply told me what happened yesterday with that one word, but without further warning, he handed me a document.

At first I got goosebumps thinking that the document was a termination notice, but then I realized that it was the opposite.

Notice of retraining

It seems that the number of testers other than myself who are questioning their abilities has increased due to this incident, and if we don't do something about it, there is a possibility that it will interfere with our work, and that we will reach our limit too soon.

In addition, the second batch of testers will be joining the company soon and it is said that the current situation is not good and they are going to make some changes.

You'll be able to get a better idea of what you can do. Well, this time there was a reason why we couldn't avoid it, but we can't keep going. We've seen the guys' inability to do things. I didn't think it would go that far.

I recognize Superintendent Evvia, who lets out a sigh.

That's the sense that I'm not happy about the extra work, even if I have to.

Isn't it strange that I'm the one in charge of this retraining program, though?

I'm sure the supervisor had a minimum number in mind, but I'm guessing he came in lower than expected.

Well, no matter how much he had been training, he didn't expect to wipe out all the dozen or so testers he had on his own.

”Give me a draft by next week. The rest is up to you, Suela and I.

After watching the back of the supervisor, who maintained a good and strong posture and did not lose her ability to work until the end, what was left was a systematic job of sitting at a desk and facing the computer without moving your body.

Well, you can't say ”no” to instructions from a supervisor who has taken the initiative in completing a task like that.

That's why you have been working quietly.

While we were complaining, we had a framework, but now we have to decide how to go about it.

He stops his clattering fingers and grabs a cigarette from his mouth.

I checked the screen for spelling mistakes and style.

What I have in mind for retraining is to retrain them in a profession other than their current one, one that requires proximity and strength.

What they're missing is a fundamental improvement in their status and how they deal with their weaknesses at the range.

It's only in the game that specialization works; in reality, it's rarely enough to do the job.

Idols need to learn not only singing, but also dancing, talking, sales, maintaining body shape and many other things to become popular.

We know that, but

The question is, is this going to motivate them?

It's not a sudden change of department or position in the public eye.

I'm sure they thought they could get away with this one job.

It's impossible to imagine such a thing.

It's like using the first basic job to attack the last boss.

If you don't understand that, then there will definitely be complaints and if you're wrong, there will be retirements.

We know what we have to do.

The question is how much we can get them to do it without complaining.

When people are dissatisfied, their motivation will naturally diminish.

A supervisor would cut them down with a single word of pettiness and cut them off before they leave, but this does not nurture the talent.

Two common mistakes are not grasping the speed at which people underneath you grow up and always looking for an immediate response.

It is often seen in companies that disregard human resource development, that are stingy with labor costs and rush to replenish their staff when their heads are on the line, or that have a high turnover of people.

Supervisors seem to be very good at that kind of thing. They won't make a bad cut, but they will if they have to.

So I have to work hard to keep my boss from doing that.

”There's a limit to how much money you can spend on ...... and I don't have the authority to do that, and it's just going to be a scuffle. I don't get it, if you can do it, you won't be in any trouble.

Work is rarely done with conviction in the first place.

Once you understand and learn the ropes, all you have to do is do it.

There is no individual will of conviction involved.

No, there may be room for a certain amount of influx of people, but if you worry about that, your work will be slowed down.

So it's seen as redundant.

Ahhhhhh~

Strictly speaking, the number of people may decrease, and I don't know if making it slippery will help.

You think of solutions in the sense of a balance game, but you can't come up with anything good at all.

Your thoughts start spinning and scratching your head, but the itchiness just goes away and your worries never go away.

You've been working on your computer all day today, writing up reports and training plans, and now it's almost six o'clock in the evening.

After yesterday, I've told the other members that we're all on vacation, and since I'm the only one in the party room, there's no problem for me to make noise and scream like a madman.

Hmm?　Yes.

The chime there was a nice change of pace, so I straightened up and headed for the door.

”Suella?

How are you doing?

There was Suela.

No, it's a good thing that she was there

”The look

”Well, doesn't it look good?

She was not dressed in her usual suit, but in an indigo-colored yukata with several white streamlines drawn on it, as if she was inspired by a shooting star.

Her long hair was tied up and she had a hairpin ornament that looked good on her, even though she was brown.

Then I remembered.

As I recall, there was a festival today at a shrine near the place where I used to live.

That shrine is quite large and has fireworks.

No, it looks good.

Good.

You can see the frustration flowing out of you as Suela smiles at you with a sense of relief.

It has been proven that a beautiful woman has a healing effect.

I should have used more thoughtful words, but I envy myself for my clumsiness.

”I don't know if you're here to invite me to the festival ......, but there's no way Suela can go out there.

I thought it might be an invitation for a festival date that you came at this time in this outfit, but Suela and her friends can't act well in a space without magic power.

That was explained at the beginning.

Plus, it's Suela's appearance.

You won't find a long-eared dark elf anywhere on earth.

Maybe they just haven't been found, but I don't know, and they are not common.

She's a beautiful woman, and her being out in the open would only draw more attention, and I don't think this company, which strictly forbids the leakage of information, would give permission.

Keep a normal mind not to show your face over the cycle of self-satisfied and self-depressed.

We've got your permission.

”How is your body?

I kept it, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

And then there's the magic deficit, which is the next concern.

”Yes, that ornate hairpin will accumulate magic power and disguise my appearance as a similar race on this earth using illusionary magic, so it's not a problem. However, the effect will wear off in about half a day so I have to leave before then.

That too has been resolved.

It seems that the magic and magic power are fixed in the emerald-like jewel attached to the accessory pierced in the hair and its body part.

To begin with, it seems that when they were distributing the flyers, they needed to send such people out, and although expensive, they have magic tools ready.

Of course, it is not something that can be used so easily, but the fact that they have it with them should not be a problem.

”Go inside and wait a bit, I'll get you some.

”Yes!

Then there's no reason for me to say no.

I was just choked up at the end of the day.

It wouldn't hurt to have a change of scenery here.

The gloom from earlier is gone, and I feel a little cheerful.

For now, I need to get ready too.

It's not good to keep them waiting in front of the room, and it's not like it's going to be a mess.

I'll invite Suela in and I'll head to the locker room.

It shouldn't take that long to get ready, unless it's too bad, but it's usually long enough or so.

Just a quick change of clothes and a quick wash is all it takes.

Here you go.

No, I just barged in.

”But still, let's go.

”Yes.

Still, it's not appropriate to keep a woman waiting.

I get ready quickly and call out to Suela, who was at the table looking over the work I was doing earlier, and she replies so calmly that I could tell she wasn't in a bad mood.

I walked out with her, car keys in hand.

I wouldn't have done it inside the company, but in the dormitory, I hold out my hand and he slowly takes it in his.

I feel its warmth, and we're connected, albeit only for a short time, to the parking lot.

”Wow, it's so bright in the evening.

”The company is also bright at night, right?

”The atmosphere is different,

”I see that too.

That's the land I was originally on.

I know it's crowded at night during the festival, and I have an idea of some nearby parking lots that would be free.

We arrived at our destination shrine in not much time.

The festival is in full swing in the evening, and many people are enjoying the festival by visiting the stalls along the approach to the shrine.

Since I moved to this area, I've seen this summer tradition many times, but it's been a long time since I've been able to visit a shrine like this since I entered the workforce.

As she climbed up the stairs of the shrine, she was delighted to see a scene that scattered the unusual air in her field of vision, and she pulled my hand and entered the flow of the scene.

The view is different just because you're with your girlfriend, Suela, instead of being alone.

I've always thought that all festivals have a similar style, but today is different.

I've read a lot about it in the literature, but the real thing is different.

”Is that too?
