334 325. Has the drinking communication weathered? (1/2)

The meeting of five tokusatsu-loving people with the surname ”Fuji Ranger” was unexpectedly valuable.

They are just like characters in a story.

Hearing about their backgrounds made me think that there is such a race of people.

”What?　What kind of detective would do that?

Yes, although it's more accurate to say that my case is unique and I was made to do it rather than done.

If you twist your hips like this, you can deliver a punch that looks compact but is quite powerful.

”I see, like this?

Kitamiya listens to Sato's story and is surprised to hear about the work she actually did, while Masaru learns how to punch from Goto, a former professional boxer.

Dressing up as a man to expose a stalker is like something out of a novel.

The scene is surprisingly more powerful than Goto's actual punch, which he mimics.

Hmmm, you ......... should spend some time on your studies and sports endeavors for a while, right?

”Why!　Love horoscope, but naze!

”Losing, that is!

”Well, I'm pretty much trapped!　Gamba!

As a result of some game with a smart phone in hand, the winner Endo and the loser Minami.

Amelia tries to get a fortune telling from Ito about her troubles around her age.

The end result is that the opponent wins with the style of a champion, despite the casual use of a little body strengthening.

Amelia's voice laments the reality that this is not the result she expected.

You can feel the goodness of their people when you can talk to them and become friends with them naturally.

Of course it's growing in our circle, too.

”There's that kind of training?　Rather than it's training?　It's the kind of story you want to hear.

”Can't believe it?

It would be more accurate to say that I don't want to believe it.

I know, that's what I would think if I heard it from someone else. It sounds good when you talk about real-world training, but that's just real warfare, and I can't remember how many times I broke a bone anymore.

There aren't many bones that aren't broken, you know. We'd be in trouble if it weren't for magic. And the great thing is, those instructors don't break bones that shouldn't be broken.

”It was a sad exercise in not being able to say that I'm using the word 'tame' the wrong way.

Ha ha ha, that tells me our training was tough but decent.

I was with Kaido explaining to Kato the first training we received.

Fusio and Kio's instruction made even Kato, who came from the Japan Self-Defense Forces and is reputed to have a strict training regimen, laugh, and his facial muscles are busy moving in astonishment.

What a way to start a conversation.

I was curious to know what this season's recruits had been through, so I asked them.

I'm too special to talk about it, but in Kato's case, they had an interview and career counseling with the employees after a series of aptitude tests.

And then, to their surprise, they let them experience the whole range of jobs.

In order not to make the rearguard too much like last time, there was a question of making a person who was unsuited to the position of the vanguard, although the balance should be considered properly.

You'll be able to hear Kato's story, expecting that the source of that voice would be some demon yakuza and a skull gentleman.

It's so decent that it's funny to compare them.

Besides, we didn't have all that much experience like Kato and the others. Honestly, I'm jealous.

”I've done all the basic professions rather than many. For the vanguard, it's like fighting and the basic weapons like sword, spear and dagger.

As far as Kato is concerned, the combat related training was done with a firm grasp of each person's aptitude by having them try it out and experience it.

Thanks to this, there was no imbalance like last time, and as far as Kato knows, the ratio of each profession is just right for the newcomers.

I see. It may be a little inefficient, but it's good to know that nothing is left out.

It's good that there are fewer people trying to do things they're not good at.

I'm relieved that it won't be like us first-years.

”Was it really that great?

In the first year, 70 percent of the students were wizards, 20 percent were healers, and about 10 percent were archers, and two of us, including me, were able to play the vanguard.

”Huh?　Is it okay?

”It's not okay. The result was manageable at first, but the lack of a frontline support role was critical.

Yes. Thanks to that, even when I joined, there weren't many working parties that could attack a dungeon properly.

And Kato, seeing the awfulness of the first-year students, reacts to our words with a look of disbelief.

That's why there aren't as many senior testers now as there are newcomers.

You're going to be able to find out what's going on,” he jokes, shrugging his shoulders, ”and you can't say anything about it.

Then, from our point of view, this is our chance. It is true that the current situation without a pioneer may be difficult, but if you think about it, it's a chance for you to get ahead.

”Rugged.

That's right, it might be black thinking.

Haha, the Self-Defense Forces are also a black company in a way. It depends on the unit, but it's a competitive society.

It's like the headquarters of the vertical society and the athletic department.

Kaido and I laugh at Kato's positive words.

Kato says it's sad that it's not necessarily wrong, as I try to convey my own image at the counter.

Then we laugh for the third time.

Everywhere is black black black.

Where in the world are the white companies?

Time flies by as we repeat the conversation with such a feeling.

You spend your day leading and debriefing the newcomers, and your time is naturally consumed by this kind of small talk.

”Oh, senior, is it that time already?

Oops, that was a long story. I'm sorry, Kato.

No, it was also very helpful to hear some valuable information.

If you check the time on your phone as if you remembered, it's almost dinner time.

It's a good idea to have a drink with us, Mr. Tanaka, if you want to join us.

And it's natural that the topic would come up in the flow of conversation.

The topic itself is a welcome one, and I'm not evasive.

I'm just grateful that you invited me.

But unfortunately, I'm in no condition to accept the invitation.

I catch a glimpse of Suela and her friends' faces.

Although there is a tendency that drinking is not fashionable these days, the trend is still alive among a certain segment of the population.

Have you ever been told to communicate well as a member of society?

However, it's natural for a family man to think that he has to go home soon.

If you look at Kaido next to you, he has the same expression on his face.

Yeah, you're right. Are you sure you're okay with this increase in numbers?　I'd like to call three or four people.

I'm sure you'll be fine, Kato, and I'm okay with that, too, right?　Maybe three more.
