”Are you on a business trip ...... to another world?

From my point of view, though, it's a homecoming.

I'm sure the demon king's army existed in Isual quite a long time ago, thousands of years ago, but I'm not crazy enough to risk my life over such a thing, although a rude question to the woman, ”How old are you, supervisor?

I know it's possible, but what about safety?

”I'd say it's a fair question, but I'd still say it's a red herring, but let's assume it's a prudent decision this time.

As usual, the evaluation is harsh, and I'm hearing that the destination of the sudden business trip is another world, and my brain capacity is about to overflow, but I want the praise of it on the surface.

Well, if you're a supervisor, you might have noticed that.

A tap on the table and a map of the continents magically appears on it, different from the earth.

It's often said that the ultimate in science and technology is not much different from magic.

Since I came here, I too have been reminded of the importance of communication, collection and examination of information. It's not just a third-rate thing to do, it's the work of a fool to go into a situation where you're overconfident in your own power without knowing what's going on.

It's as if the Demon King's Army is not, in fact, what I said earlier was that my knowledge of this organization is lacking.

Of course we didn't adopt a system like the old Japanese army that allowed us to collect information at will. We've been distantly told to know that much.

Of course, the installation of the transference gates for information gathering, bases, and information routes are all secretly controlled. This information is restricted to the public. It was disclosed because you are in a position to do so. That's one part you can take, but you know what to do if it gets out fatally, right?

I nodded silently.

Unlike the secret information controlled by Japanese businessmen, the supervisors were preparing for war, no matter how they talked about testers and dungeon attacks.

The prestige of the country and the country's reputation is at stake, and this level of confidentiality is a natural obligation.

I nodded to the trust that would serve as a touchstone.

Words will not be necessary here.

That was the right call.

I said a fair point, and the supervisor moved on.

Then follow the merchant captain on your actions over there. Your temporary status, your position over there, is to be infiltrated as one of the merchant guards. If you don't want to strangle yourself, don't take your chivalrous spirit with you. Common sense over there is a long way from common sense over here. Your job is to watch and listen and learn. Do it well.

I don't need to tell you that I'm here to nail you to the wall.

How long do you want?

”The traffic is not as good over there [in Isual] as it is here. It's more like three months, but take into account that it could be longer in some cases.

It's long.

That's what you need to know. Don't worry, we'll have it back for you by the time the second cohort comes in.

For the sake of paperwork and common sense, it might be more sensible to think of this business trip as a short-term study abroad program.

But I don't understand why I'm being sent on a business trip at this time.

Three months is probably longer than I thought.

I've retrained you, but there's no denying the fact that this is a rush job.

My role is more like an auxiliary wheel.

My role is to support him until he learns to ride his bike on his own, and now he's just starting to ride without reaching the support wheel.

The ride is still a bit wobbly and unstable.

There is still a lot of room for guidance and advice.

Is my growth the only reason to push it and let it go?

That may be a factor, but it's not a decision.

Keep an open mind, don't think of me alone.

The supervisor's point of view should be the military, not the individual, organizational point of view.

Then the only thing I can think of is

”It's like a grace period for the other testers.

”Ho.

If I'm wrong, I'll just look stupid and get corrected.

There is no denial in the supervisor's gaze as he tells you to continue, even though he expects you to do so.

”No, the gap between me and the other testers in terms of combat ability and experience has widened too much, and you're trying to widen that gap instead of closing it, aren't you?

Why do you think?

Correct me if I'm arrogant, but it's the difference in consciousness between me and the other testers who work for this company. They are just Japanese day laborers. I'm standing in the twilight when I can go back to my daily life at any time, whereas my position, no, I'm going to stand not in the twilight, but in the sunshine on the side of this company

I'm already envisioning the path I'll take with Suela in my mind.

I can't say that I don't have a longing for Japan there, but I've reached a level where I can discard it.

I'm trying to place myself in this world that is extraordinary from the point of view of everyday life in Japan.

From our point of view, we are standing in the dark of night.

I'm a hybrid of common sense, if you will.

I'm trying to have both common sense in Japan and common sense in another world.

The other testers are looking through the glass of common sense from Japan, and I am going to enter the world through the glass.

And I am not tainted by the common sense of the other world, nor do I play it.

I'm going to drink both cloudy and clear.

You needed it, right?　Middle management on the border between different worlds, and that aptitude just happens to be me.

If you ask me how many of the testers talk to goblins, I'll say a few.

You can bet it won't be more than a few.

Most testers avoid the goblins as savage, lowbrow, and dirty, and keep them out of sight.

To those testers, I'd probably sound insane speaking from the perspective of a colleague.

But even in Japan, there are people who are savage, low-minded, and disgusting.

There may be differences in knowledge, but to me it's unreasonable to look only at the group and not at the individual.

I understand that it is very difficult to have such values, but I am not convinced.

Then I thought for a while that this means that you don't talk to dark elves and succubus, even if they look more like people.

You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own personal life.

What do you think?

Fifty points.

”Is it a red mark?

Let's call it a close call.

At the end you shrug your shoulders in a frightening way.

I'm not very good at seriousness.

The result was a satisfactory answer, though it was just short of a red mark.

The difference in perception between us and you was originally raised as a concern. One of the characteristic examples of brave people is the aversion to killing. I believe that killing is evil but not unnecessary. But if you look around, there are many people who think the same way. On the other hand, even among the brave men and women, there is a rare man who has no aversion to killing.

I'd say that's just a lunatic, but I guess that's a welcome personality when you go over there .

”That grace period you mentioned the first time, that wasn't wrong, but it wasn't right either. That was a bonus. It's the last time I can give them a chance to see how much of an advantage, how much they can elevate their position in relation to the newcomers.

In that sense, the word grace period is the right word, but she also has an evil smile on her face.

Well, she's beautiful, so that smile looks good.

If I wasn't in love with Suela, I would have fallen in love with this smile.

I see...so that's his way of saying candy.

The fact that he joined the company before you, makes him far more experienced.

But I wonder how many people will notice the whip behind the candy.

The time difference (bonus) means you'll get a sermon that is without excuse.

No, it's better if it's just a sermon.

It will definitely be a sermon on physics.

”Okay, I'll bear that in mind.

”Keep it that way, and I'm not going to settle for some half-assed middle management aptitude. That's the biggest demerit. Forgetting to be ambitious.

”......

I couldn't understand the meaning of that word for a moment.

I knew it was expected of me.

From the point of view of the instructor, or rather the demon king's army, you could put two generals in charge and then keep them connected.

And a quick promotion, which is unusual if you think about it dispassionately.

When my head started to spin, all I could say was...

”I'll do my best.

”Okay, that's it, I'll email you the details of the date later. Don't forget to check.

”Yes.

The only thing I had to say was a word with motivated eyes.

The supervisor just nodded in response, and from her point of view, my actions were just a normal part of the act.

I looked at the desk and went into work mode, and when she asked me to leave, I had no choice but to leave.

Oh, when was the last time someone expected me to do something right?
