330 321 When the hard work is over, it becomes an experience again (1/2)

”Kahahahahahaha!　Oh no, I fought, I fought.

After all, it feels good to move my body, and only a paralyzed laugh comes out of my mouth.

My clothes and armor are caked in dust and my face is probably similar.

I'd say the battle with the dragons was that intense.

But still, the exhilaration after moving your body and the moderate fatigue mixed in with it is quite pleasant.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about this.

You can feel it and get a sense of accomplishment for your work.

And although it doesn't feel bulky, it's not as heavy as it looks, but there's no need to mention the large amount of contents it contains.

Is it a confirmation of your accomplishment or another emotion that makes you slam your bag.

Don't you think so, guys?

「「「「.........」」」」」

Then, in a good mood, I turn around to ask for consent and see the exhausted newcomers lying in their favorite postures, each of them in a variety of postures, as if to say the corpses are dead.

They are sitting in various postures in a droning atmosphere.

Can you believe that this figure is the opposite of my high tension! And felt as if I was being prodded.

That's understandable.

You were lucky that you were brave enough to fight off that horde of dragons.

But that dungeon was a dungeon where if you didn't kill them fast enough, they'd just show up one after the other.

A little rookie for you? It was a tough environment.

”Oh, was that a little too much?

No, definitely not a little bit.

”Oh, Amelia recovered?

In battle after battle, the physical strength of the newcomers has been exhausted to the point that not a drop of energy is left in their bodies.

The newcomers, driven to the point of running out of energy, seemed to lose their minds as soon as they escaped the dungeon, and with a sigh of relief, they fell to their knees more and more to show with their bodies that they were at their limit.

As expected, we moved them out of the way near the entrance, but everyone who participated was exhausted, and I was impressed that they came back without dropping their weapons.

Amelia, who is relatively strong and experienced, was only a little tired and had the mental capacity to point out my words with her hands on her hips.

It's not just the words I pointed out, but also the words I didn't have in mind, and I'm aware that it's more than a little, so I can't help but laugh and scratch my cheek.

It's hard to keep up with our usual pace, Yojiro.

”No, you know. I just work harder than I thought I would, you know?

You can't help but make excuses for your younger colleagues who warn you that you're taking it too far, but it's painful to say so yourself.

When you see the newcomers working hard for the first time, you can't help but cheer them up and encourage them to do their best.

I wonder if it's a feeling that the instructors overdo it when they train us.

I'm not complaining. Jiro, aren't you being influenced too much by the instructors?

”Hahahahahaha!　It's undeniable!

”You can't laugh it off, but you can't laugh it off!

If you think about it, eventually the other guy will warn you.

But I need an excuse.

I was going to pull out at some point, but Ishan, Benny and the others worked harder than I expected.

But Ishan, Benny, and the others were working harder than I expected, and I wanted to find out what my limits were, so I postponed it a bit longer, and when I thought I was almost there, I slowed down a bit when I was fighting, and this is what I got.

Well, one wrong move could have been a disaster.

I must reflect on this.

But Jiro-san's great thing is that no one was injured.

”Yes, I'm tired, but I'm not hurt, just scratched. That's what I'm talking about.

But if I may be excused, I was soft on them, but I didn't cut corners.

I made sure the newcomers were well supported.

I killed the enemy as fast as I could when I thought it was dangerous, and I provided support and cover.

Occasionally, I've stepped in between the attacks and covered for them.

That's why I feel that I've trained them, not so well, but at the edge.

Hey, Mr. Tanaka. One question.

”Oh, what an Ishan.

I'd like to say that out loud, but that's my ego.

In fact, I was physically on the edge too much.

I need to reflect on that.

I'm aware of this, so while I'm quietly receiving a lecture from the younger man, Ishan stands up and asks me a question, raising his hand to whip my tired body.

He is diligent, but I answer his questions.

Is it always this hard for you?

And I'm sure the devastation will make you curious to ask questions.

His expression hasn't changed, but his eyes are shaking and he can't hide his uneasy mood.

”If you're talking about us, the answer is no. Compared to today's guy, it's not much. Huh?

Hmmm, I'm used to it, so it's kind of weird. ......... Yes, less than usual.

It's more than a prep session, but it's more than half a day long, for us.

If it's just me, I'll just say I'm crazy, but when Amelia and Katsu, who are younger than Ishan, say it, my words will have more credibility.

The part of you that has power and is elated has been corrected during the training, but you still have the awareness and confidence that you have gained power.

Amelia and Katsu's words were enough to shake that confidence.

It's just that, as a rookie, that amount of fighting is unbelievable.

But the premise of this story is different for me and Ishan.

''To begin with, the Dragon King's dungeon is not a place where a rookie would go. Other dungeons have high killing intent, but the Dragon King's dungeon is a cut above the rest.

We've been working for a year as dungeon testers, forging our way through the dungeons in some strange way.

In contrast, today is the first time Ishan and his friends have taken on a dungeon.

There's a big difference between the newcomers and the experienced ones.

They should be okay with a lower standard.

In fact, the first Kirou dungeon I ever went into.

Even though I went solo, I never faced that large a crowd.

It may be that they were worried about standing around to cover their numerical inferiority, but the amount of fighting today would have been enough for a week at that time.

”You guys are great. You fought through it and came back on your feet. You've done something I never would have done back then. Be confident.

”......... yes!

Praise for their achievements brings a smile to the tired faces of the newcomers.
