156 152 何があろうとスケジュールは進む (1/2)

It's been two weeks since the dungeons were completely closed.

During this time, our testers, who have been shut down from their main job of exploring dungeons, have only a limited amount of work to do.

It will mostly converge on self-training to increase your status, generating reports to generate ideas and increase your salary, or caring for your weapons, the tools of your trade.

To cite an exceptional example, there are those who take advantage of this free time to acquire new skills or try to make weapons on their own, but new skills are not so easy to acquire, and since most of them are beginners at making weapons, they try to apprentice themselves to a blacksmith to learn, but they are craftsmen You are rejected by the giants.

Despite their perseverance, they try to challenge on their own, but they fail to have the facilities, tools, and technology.

No matter who is doing what or what they are trying to do, there is a sense that they all have too much spare time in common.

However, leaving aside work such as reports, the current situation where one can get paid just for training, which is supposed to be physical training, is quite an unbeatable treatment in today's Japanese society.

However, it is also true that the company does not welcome the situation.

However, there is only a limited amount of things that can be done in the current situation where the sword case is not solved and there are not enough people to do it.

Under such circumstances, the company has proposed a last-ditch measure, a temporary joint training.

The point is that we intend to use this unused period of time to gather all the testers who can participate in the drill in one place, and to improve the quality of our sluggish testers by strengthening the horizontal connections through exchange among the testers and by instructing the competent people prepared by the Demon King's Army.

Although participation is not compulsory, all the testers who can afford to do so participate in it.

Naturally, I joined to hone my skills as well, since the competition is coming up: ......

Why do I have to be on the teacher's side?

Excuse me, Jiro-san. That dungeon search took a lot of manpower, and we didn't have as many people available to us as I thought.

”You've got me in a bind, huh?

Yes, and Evia-sama also told me that Jiro-san is the only one who can give instructions to Himikku-san, who is playing with her.

I knew it would be something like that. ...... So you're the real deal for the supervisor.

I decided to convince Suela, who was wearing a suit that looked apologetic and whose belly was beginning to show a little bit of belly, with a wry smile.

It's hard to say, but I'm the one with the highest vanguard status among the testers.

And although it was a forced event, I've beaten everyone here to death by myself.

There's no way my status would change with the same training in the same environment.

At best, it's like a relaxation exercise; at worst, it's lukewarm training.

I could see the supervisor's intent to have me participate in the teacher's role rather than having me play in such an environment.

Speaking of which.

Of course, Himik is more popular.

”She can handle it from a variety of distances,

I am now not working as a teacher at all.

The delicate relationship between me and the other testers is something I'm used to, and I could see this coming.

But more than that, in addition to the unusual tribe of fallen angels, her beauty and kappogi outfit, coupled with her slightly natural personality, has won the hearts of not only the male testers, but also the female testers, and now she is a sought-after teacher.

In addition, although she is not very good at being a handful, she is able to handle proximity, mid-range, and long range without a hitch.

So she can give a certain amount of advice to all professions.

Perhaps this development is also within the scope of the supervisor's expectations.

Well, the men have a completely ulterior motive, and I was going to cut them down with a mineral tree.

What's the point of my being here, just to keep Himiku together?

Yes.

No, at least deny it to me.

It's a fact. It's true.

The slight childish jealousy of Himikku's being taken may have been discovered, but I'm looking at the training scene, laughing and telling Suela to give me a break as she teases me with a giggle.

You will be able to see that there is no tense atmosphere in the dungeon, but each person is seriously engaged in the training.

Some are divided into different occupational groups and train according to the appropriate teacher.

Some train according to the teacher appropriate for the job, while others consult among themselves and follow the techniques of other testers.

You will find that magic is flying around, improving efficiency and power, shooting arrows at targets floating in the air to increase accuracy and speed, and lecturing on how to improve the purity of your recovery magic.

To take a personal note, Kaido, who was jealous of the female tester's favorite, Haidou, called a duel with the vanguard for the sake of his recovery (rehabilitation) from his injury.

Kaido and Hatcho cut loose in a pure battle of magic prohibition.

In the next area, there are Kitamiya and Minami, who were searching for magic to use in the dungeon.

At first it looked like they were getting off to a good start by exchanging opinions with each other, but they suddenly disagreed, and when they thought they were staring at each other, it turned into a verification of the actual battle format, and now they're all banging each other up.

Although Kitamiya has more firepower, she is having a hard time with the South, which is a mass of unexpectedness.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It's a good idea to make sure that you have the right information.

”We have several testers who say they can't come to ...... for things like that.

Seeing such a scene, I would like to take my time in training, but.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get into it because there is no one here who can fight at full strength and I'm concerned about the other intentions of this training.

Did you confirm the presence of all the testers, including that one?

Yes, they should all be there. I checked the paperwork to be sure. Just to be sure.

”It's just a matter of how far the demon sword has affected you. ...... I can't even remember everyone's face here to be honest.

Yes.

Behind the scenes of this training, the search for the magic sword continues in the dungeon and in the company.

The unknown wizard.

The only clues are the effect and the shape of the sword, so the search for physical evidence with no clues.

In addition, this joint drill also seemed to have gathered the most suspicious suspects of the sword case, the testers, in one place.

I've been glancing at you for a while now, except for the testers.

Perhaps it's because they are aware that they didn't do it, but as I was thinking about what I should do about my training, I got fed up with the stares more than necessary.

Oh, did they notice me?

You can feel a strange, soft presence.

You will find that you will be able to get a good idea of what to expect if you have a good idea of what to expect.

At first glance, he appears to be an ordinary man.

A demon king's army tends to show the characteristics of its race.

If you're an undead man, you have horns, if you're a demon, you have bones, if you're a dark elf you have pointed ears and skin color, if you're a dragon, you have scales.

But at a glance, the man in front of me doesn't have them.

So.

A vampire?

I'm glad you found that out. You didn't show your fangs, and I think my skin is pretty close to a human color, even though it's white.

”Your eyes are gathering too much magic. You can't hide your evil eye.

Oh, I see. I've been told you're pretty sharp, right?　It's still a lot less magical.

I'm sure he'd die in training if he couldn't do this, because he's even more likely to hide his magic and shoot it at you than you are.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it. It's a good idea to be able to do this in a timely manner. I must say, I was wrong in my estimate.

He didn't tell you what he wanted, and he didn't tell you his name.

The man in front of you is very self-convinced and goes on with his story.

You seem to know me, but who are you?
