Another Side

 

 

~3rd Person Perspective~

 

 

Jiro and the other testers started fighting with the dragon.

 

The spectators were very excited to see it.

 

From their point of view, it is a complete irregularity, but from their point of view, it is an event and something to be enjoyed.

 

However, there are others who watch from afar.

 

 

“As usual, you are very hard on them. Aren’t they too early fight dragons?” (President)

 

“I don’t think so. And if I spoil them, they will be useless. However, if Jiro is there, I believe that he can beat it.” (Evia)

 

“I see… It’s like a clumsy kind of affection, isn’t it? It may be your fault as a demon that makes it difficult to understand, Evia.” (President)

 

“Others gave the same sentiment… occasionally.” (Evia)

 

 

The president’s office, or as they say in the company, the Demon’s Throne.

 

 

“Would you like a drink?” (President)

 

“No.” (Evia)

 

 

In that room, the Demon King and his close demon companions were watching the scene not as spectators but as judges.

 

The Demon King, sitting in a luxurious chair, offers a glass of wine to his aide, who is as faithful to her duties as ever, but she refuses with a light shake of her head.

 

 

“You’re still as rigid as ever. You’ve always been like that.” (President)

 

 

Despite the line, the Demon King did not seem to be bothered by her attitude, which could be considered rude depending on the time and place, but his expression was more like a smile as she was ever faithful to her duties.

 

Then, His gaze then shifted from Evia to the scene projected on the wall of the room and inside the dungeon.

 

The crowded event hall, where one could almost hear the cheers of the crowd, was seen as a respite for the busy employees these days.

 

On the contrary, the space where the testers were fighting a dragon was a veritable battlefield.

 

However, from the Demon King’s point of view, the scene was nothing more than a child’s playground.

 

That is why he was able to relax as if he were watching a play.

 

Evia, standing behind him, has a stern expression on her face, as if she feels the opposite of the Demon King, who is smiling cheerfully.

 

 

“I read the proposal that Jiro brought, but it looks like you’ve changed a lot of details. It’s not a simple playful event like a race, but rather a grueling competition for survival. It’s a very typical signature touch of ours, but from Jiro’s point of view, it’s quite unexpected. In his mind, the purpose of the event was to allow the testers and employees to relax and interact with each other, and he only intended to add a little excitement as a hidden element. But that’s all ruined by your plan.” (President)

 

 

Even though he was supposed to be behind, the Demon King could sense all kinds of emotions Evia was feeling as she watched this video.

 

She would tolerate indulgence, but not laziness.

 

From her point of view, this battle with the dragon is just a game.

 

It costs a lot of money to prepare the dragon.

 

But in her mind, this was a necessary expense.

 

 

“Well, what does this all for?” (President)

 

 

Seeing it all, the Demon King asks Evia.

 

The Demon King, who may actually know, but acts as if he does not understand, asks Evia the question looking very amused.

 

 

“Jiro should know that he is special. And that the idea of ‘friendship’ game ends here.” (Evia)

 

 

Jiro, in the eyes of Evia, who is simply stating the facts, is struggling to keep the testers together, but that is not enough.

 

The current testers are too unorganized to attack the dungeon and make improvements.

 

The harshness of company’s policy of respecting individual testers has been exposed here.

 

The efficiency of dungeon attack is declining day by day, and the morale of the testers is also declining.

 

It is possible to change the policy, but that would be meaningless.

 

What the Demon King wants is to create a dungeon that can withstand a hero’s attack.

 

In order to create such a dungeon, the opinions of his own people and stagnated ideas will not do.

 

In order to bring in a new style, he went to the trouble and risk of creating the dimensional space and inviting testers who had the potential to become heroes.

 

Although many things were different from what we had planned, things were going reasonably well.

 

It continues to this day.

 

However, that does not mean that we should continue to use the testers who are falling into the same state of decline.

 

Even if new testers are brought in, the same thing will happen over and over again if the current problem continues.

 

 

“Fortunately, he has the talent. All that remains is…” (Evia)

 

“All we have to do is to make them aware of it, huh?” (President)

 

“Yes.” (Evia)

 

 

What testers need now is not an unreachable monster, but someone who can serve as a benchmark.

 

It is not enough to just put them together.

 

What is needed is a hero who attracts people.

 

 

Another Side END

 

 

Side Jiro Tanaka

 

 

~Jiro’s Perspective~

 

 

“Senior, what are we going to do? Everyone is in a mess! We are suddenly fighting a dragon, so it can’t be helped!” (Kaido)

 

 

Kaido’s desire to scream is very understandable.

 

But,

 

 

“You, you don’t understand the situation, do you!” (Kaido)

 

 

At the very least, I don’t think this is something that should be said in the middle of a power contest with the dragon.

 

Since a little while ago, I’ve been doing a strength comparison with the dragon’s right front leg and the Mineral Tree.

 

Even though I have a feeling that if I relax, I will be flattened, I somehow manage to put strength into my stomach to answer Kaido’s shouts.

 

And why is it that only Kaido and I are fighting?

 

Because the only ones who can manage to fight at the moment are my party, Hizumi duo, and a few testers.

 

More than half of them is confused by the threat.

 

Part of the reason for their confusion is that I brought this dragon with me.

 

 

“Senior!” (Kadio)

 

“I know!” (Jiro)

 

 

I don’t have enough time to even allow myself an extra thought.

 

In response to Kaido’s cry, I exploded with magic power, pushing the dragon up for a moment and jumping back from it.

 

Then, without a moment’s pause, the other right paw descended.

 

And this is the reason for the other piece.

 

 

“The supervisor is probably being a bit reckless. She has two dragons ready, or is she a demon?” (Jiro)

 

“Senior, the supervisor IS a demon.” (Kaido)

 

“I’m not talking about her race.” (Jiro)

 

 

Two dragons lined up in a space the same size as the arena.

 

Against such a mighty enemy, seeing another earth dragon different from the one I brought along, I unintentionally created this situation and complained to the person himself, Kaido’s line makes me lose my strength for a moment.

 

However, the intimidation emanating from the eyes of the two dragons immediately tightens my body.

 

 

“What about the chaos behind us?” (Jiro)

 

“Right now, Kitamiya and the others are trying to contain it, but it’s not looking good.” (Kaido)

 

“Damn, there’s a limit to what two people can hold down.” (Jiro)

 

 

Currently, I’m the main player who attracted attention, and Kaido’s disturbance somehow manages to attract the attention of the two dragons.

 

In the meantime, you’re trying to form a coalition of other testers.

 

 

“Why is this a dead end!” (Tester)

 

“Is there any other way out!?” (Tester)

 

“I don’t know!!” (Tester)

 

“Hey! You’re a thief, get the hell out of here and unlock the gate!!!” (Tester)

 

“I don’t know how! It’s magically locked! You’re a magician, do something about it!!!” (Tester)

 

 

A quarrel is occurring in front of the iron grate, which seems to be the only exit.

 

In addition,

 

 

“Impossible! There’s no way we can win against something like that! Let’s just give up!!” (Tester)

 

“Don’t give up!! What will happen if you’re gone?!” (Karen)

 

“That’s right, and this is a chance to gain experience, that it is.” (Minami)

 

“You should persuade them a bit more kindly!!” (Masaru)

 

“That’s a reckless attitude for communication, that it is.” (Minami)

 

“What happened to your usual bossy attitude towards me?!” (Tester)

 

“Calm down, take a deep breath.” (Masaru)

 

“Y-yes.” (Tester)

 

“Yes, water, here.” (Masaru)

 

“Thank you.” (Tester)

 

“Hurry up and treat the injured person!” (Karen)

 

 

Kitamiya is holding Tester in a chokehold as he tries to thrust a blade at her throat, while in front of him, Minami is trying to persuade him.

 

Beside her, Hazumi cares for her hyperventilating partner, and Masaru offers her water.

 

Amelia is supporting a tester who was injured in the aftermath of the battle with the dragon.

 

The impact of the first dragon was too strong.

 

Just before they were about to join, another dragon appeared.

 

It took the form of a surprise attack, and there were too many testers who were demoralized in front of the dragon, however they still needed to devote their forces to getting everyone together.

 

Thanks to this, we are forced to do something reckless like this.

 

Judging from the sound coming from behind me, they will probably stay that way for a while longer.

 

 

“Hey, Kaido!!” (Jiro)

 

“Let’s go!! Come on!!” (Kaido)

 

 

If we maintain the stalemate, the other testers will recover.

 

I can’t hold such optimistic thoughts.

 

If I think that humans can’t do it even once, I will believe it as a fact.

 

I can’t stop my tongue from clicking in front of the atmosphere that makes me feel the weight of the situation.

 

After wielding the Mineral Tree to restrain the earth dragon’s front legs trying to cut it off, I jumped back.

 

I ran the mineral tree into the dragon’s scales, the sensation was hard, but not impossible to cut.

 

I felt such a response, and I put my full strength into operation.

 

 

“It’s hard. Kaido, how much longer do you have?” (Jiro)

 

“Ugh, I don’t have any more magical power.” (Kaido)

 

“I see.” (Jiro)

 

 

It can’t be helped that Kaido, who has been casting magic with all his might since a while ago, runs out of gas.

 

Think, how can we overcome the draw?

 

 

“Kaido, take Minami’s place, I’ll take care of it.” (Jiro)

 

“Understood.” (Kaido)

 

 

We are going in opposite directions.

 

I’m going forward and Kaido is running backward.

 

 

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” (Jiro)

 

 

At the same time as I stepped in, my magic created a shock wave and hit the body of the dragon, causing it to retreat.

 

Then, while devoting my thoughts to the battle, I guessed the intention of this event.

 

What was the supervisor’s purpose in the first place?

 

If this was the first plan, this was supposed to be an event to have the testers interact.

 

So why did it come to this?

 

 

“Leader! I’m going to support you, that I am!!!” (Minami)

 

“Yeah!!” (Jiro)

 

 

I felt my body become even lighter with Minami’s support magic, as I ran, and jumped on the other dragon using one of the dragons as a foothold.

 

The sound resonates with a hard crack.

 

 

“Graaa!!!” (Dragon)

 

 

I crushed the other dragon’s scales.

 

The dragon lands on the ground, sprawled out in pain, the other dragon trying to step in, making heavy thuds as it moves.

 

 

“The tail!” (Jiro)

 

“Leader!!” (Minami)

 

 

However, the other dragon, having timed its attack, cleaved its tail to the side and I was blown away before I could land on the ground.

 

It was repelled in mid-air and, following the law of inertia, slammed straight into a wall, becoming trapped under the debris created by the impact.

 

The sound of rocks rumbling against each other darkens my vision.

 

 

“Ugh!! Damn it!” (Jiro)

 

 

But I don’t receive much damage.

 

I got up to push the debris away and quickly crawled out.

 

And what I hear and see is the dragon’s roar mixing with the testers’, who are even more confused now that I’m gone, having been their shield just a moment ago.

 

 

“Hey, hey, you guys have been testers all this time, right?” (Jiro)

 

 

Kaido and Amelia jumped forward, trying to draw as much attention as possible, Kitamiya cast a spell to stop any movement, Masaru lent a shoulder to a tester, while carrying an injured person, and Minami put up a barrier to buy time.

 

The difference between those who can move and those who can’t, the feelings of dismay that arise from that difference, and something else that wells up in the air.

 

The sound of something snapping reverberated.

 

 

“……” (Jiro)

 

 

If you ask me what it is, I can only say that it is something close to anger.

 

Was it directed at the confused testers, or at myself?

 

Slowly, I take my first step toward the mess.

 

 

“I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to bear with me a little longer.” (Jiro)

 

 

I spin the words to the fighting party members, as if asking them to do something, even though they may not hear me.

 

And I stand in front of the confused testers without questioning whether or not this is the right thing to do.

 

Well, what was I thinking?

 

My mind, clear on what to do, let go of reason and the noise of the testers screaming at me to get out of their way.

 

Instead, I breathed in.

 

And,

 

 

“Damn it all!!!!!!!!!” (Jiro)

 

 

I let out a single voice that seemed to blank out the testers’ emotions.

 

The chaos in the room subsided with my one voice.

 

But it was only for a moment.

 

They were stunned because they don’t understand what I said.

 

 

“You’ve been yelling at me for a while now, and there’s no way you can defeat the dragon doing that! If you use your brains, you would know that! You f*cking brats!!” (Jiro)

 

 

My shout, combined with Intimidating Monkey Scream, swallowed the testers’ consciousness all at once.

 

This is the end of holding back from taking action because they are focusing too much on their opponent.

 

 

“Get a weapon! Cast a spell! Listen up! From now on, I’m going to teach you guys how to slay a dragon!” (Jiro)

 

 

With a shout, I overpowered the atmosphere of the place, channeled all my magical power, and let the Mineral Tree take root.

 

 

“Come on!! It’s time to work!!” (Jiro)

 

 

I won’t weigh myself down at all in this fight.
