214 210 楽しみにしているときには、楽しいことが続いてほしい????のだがなぁ (1/2)

The Christmas party is just a few days away.

While we are preparing for the vacations, well, we working people have work to do.

I feel like this is the first time I'm working alone with the leader, that I am.

That's funny. Me too.

It's me and South.

I have to say, it's a special combination to tackle the dungeon.

As usual, I'll be in the front and Minami will support.

As usual, though, it's unusual for us to be alone.

This is the King's dungeon.

We can advance through the hierarchy reasonably well, and it's a familiar dungeon for our party.

It's home.

We've been working against the solid and steady golem while searching for ways to improve it.

”Hmmm...maybe we should put a few more traps around here, that we should?

In my opinion, I'd be more inclined to increase the number of golems or add special individuals to step on the trap.

Hmm, that's possible too, that it is. The more you worry about it, the more you come up with all sorts of things, that I know, that dungeons are a very deep thing.

If you don't compromise, you can do a lot in this business.

It's a matter of budget, that it will come to an end, that it will.

It must be.

When I first entered the dungeon, I was often nervous, but now I can take photos and videos with my work phone between battles, check the areas for improvement and add my impressions of the battle to my notes.

While conversing with me in this way, Minami's face is alert to her surroundings, and her right thumb moves to and fro on the screen of her phone at an uncommonly fast pace, typing sentences as if she were transforming into an alter ego, as if against her actions.

I've improved my ability (status) quite a bit, and I'm proud to say that I'm better than Minami, but I haven't mastered that level of skill.

You're still a fast typist.

Time is money, that it is, and I think that's especially true here. If you think about the sentence for a long time and type it slowly, that you will be exhausted.

When I praised the technique, Minami said that it came naturally to him.

It's true that you can't relax in a dungeon unless you have the right environment to do so.

The current exchange only lasts a dozen seconds at best.

Minami will have typed a fair amount of sentences in that time.

It's really quite adorable.

That's true too. Let's work, Minami, work.

I feel like I'm working too hard lately, that I am.

”You're lucky if you enjoy your work. It's a rare thing in this world to be able to work at a job that you enjoy.

I know, that I do. Then the leader who is going to have the baby will be working hard, that he will. Three of them will be coming from the front, that it is. Judging by their reactions, they're not large iron golems, that they are.　My feet seem to be slow, that they are.

”Yes, I'll work for the future.

A small blue-white sphere of magic power spun around above Minami, flickering small every so often.

From its reaction, Minami has figured out how many of them are coming from what direction and how many are coming from what direction, and she tells me this information.

But iron..... I wish someone a little harder would come along.

But I have a few complaints about that information.

It's true that iron is a hard material, but it's a material that I can't imagine being able to cut in my current common sense.

If it's just iron, it's not that much of a threat, let alone if it's a golem with a special metal like mithril on its surface to strengthen its defense.

I understand that our leader is becoming less human like the instructors these days, but if you talk like that, we'll get in trouble with strange people again, that we do.

”Oops, a bush snake. Well, I guess we'll just have to stick it out until we get a little further up the ladder.

”To begin with, common sense tells me that just cutting the iron golem is a funny story, that it is.

I never thought the word ”common sense” would come out of the mouth of the South. But unfortunately, our company is outside the Japanese norm. It's the normal way of doing things in a fantasy world.

You hear a thud and slowly walk with the south in that direction.

Meanwhile, you put a cigarette in your mouth, light your fingertips with magic and slowly inhale the purple smoke.

”I've been thinking about it for a while, that it's delicious, that it is.

”You know what?　Well, to each his own. I think it's good, but I hate it to no end. Well, it's a blessing in disguise, but it's a blessing in disguise, so to each his own. It's a bit of a hardship to be out of the office these days.

”What's the lucky part, by the way?

”Ahhhh, tranquility?

Why the question mark, that is.

”It's no use. I've been smoking to relieve stress.

The stress-relieving part of it has been digested by combat lately, so it has become more of a routine task.

Even before the battle, the attitude of the south and I was relaxed as if we were going for a walk around the place, and even in the wide aisle, we were approaching a huge body that seemed huge.

Naturally, when the golems see us as enemies, they change their steps into a run and attack us, emitting a metallic glow.

If you want to relieve your stress, video games are the best way to do it, that I do. Lately, I'm into the full combo game, that I'm into. I couldn't keep up with my skills before, that I could, but lately I've been able to!

I've heard it said that even if you get rid of your lack of exercise, it's the game that brings out the best in you. Well, as a smoker, I'd advise you not to smoke. Then it's healthier to vent in a game.

With a slight glimmer of an arm, a flash or two of mineral wood glinted, and a high-pitched sound echoed around us.

Slowly we walked through the iron golems that suddenly froze, and after a few seconds the five golems crumbled into pieces.

Wow! What are we going to do? It's quite a big core, that it is. Can it be stored inside the leader's spatial magic, that it is?

”Unfortunately, I'm already full from all the battles I've been in.

”Well, then what are we going to do with this, that?　Neglected, that is?

”Of course I'm going to take it home. What kind of idiot throws money away?

”So, that's true - you should practice your spatial magic a little more, that it's not worth it if you don't have much to work with. It's useless if there's not enough to go in, that it's not worth it.

”a**h*le. It's a lot of money. And you know how much more money it brings in, don't you?

”Yes, that's true, that's true. I'd like to increase it a bit more if I could, that I would.

Then take your back. It's going to take too much magic to maintain space with this magic. It can get bigger in the future, but with the amount of magic we have right now this is the best size. Can you make it big enough for nothing?

”Huh, the item box in the space of fantasy opportunism is too real, that it is.

You will be able to see the magic stone (core) left behind by the golems that collapsed and returned to the element, and Minami said languidly, bringing back an object as big as a bowling ball.

In that case, I'm going to have it, that I'm going to have it, right?

”I can have it. ......

”I know, that I do. I know, that I do, but what do you think about letting a girl carry the load in a leadership role, that I do?

In private, I'd take care of it, but at work, I'm all about efficiency.

”Wow, it's dry, that it is. Our leader is dry, that he is.
