Otherworld Company Chapter 48.2: Now, Everybody, It’s Time to Get to Work!

Support the translator on lazytranslations.com

 

The supervisor ordered me to do this training, but I was the one who came up with the plan.

 

The supervisor gave me the go-ahead that as long as things go as planned, there will be no problems, but it is impossible for everything to go smoothly.

 

I have to keep my head on straight.

 

In fact, there is something I haven’t told Kaido and the others.

 

Normally, there should have been more time to spare.

 

The company had no plans to secure the necessary forces this quickly, but the situation has changed.

 

To be more precise, I should say that the company’s estimates were too optimistic.

 

If you ask the testers what percentage of the total workforce we had attacked because we thought we were doing so well, they might say 10 or 20 percent.

 

I expected it to be about half of that, but the supervisor’s words were cruel.

 

0.2%. That was the figure for the part of the dungeon we had conquered.

 

I was astonished at this figure after more than three months of work and at the scale of a dungeon that would be natural for a facility that would fight with the world and, indeed, with an army.

 

Even if we could maintain this rate for three months, it would take 125 years to completely conquer the dungeon.

 

No, the dungeon masters would have to increase the difficulty level the further in we went. It would definitely take more time than this.

 

And the fact that I was half of the people who conquered the dungeon, no matter how much leeway I thought I had, I was way off base in my estimates.

 

The company also called this a training program to give a boost to the project, but the truth is that the project itself may be rejected.

 

I felt a chill run down my spine when I was told to keep that possibility in mind, though not right away.

 

I don’t want to be on the street and I don’t want to part with Suela and the others, so I’m going to push hard.

 

The result was…

 

 

“What’s wrong? Stop fooling around!” (Jiro)

 

 

The Demon Sergeant.

 

At first, I was going to be patient but delay after delay after delay. On the third day, I lost patience with the team members, who were not showing any signs of motivation, and who were resting on their laurels.

 

I yelled at them again and again, scolded them, and told them what to do, but if they thought my first warning was just a threat, it was no use.

 

The attitude of “let’s just leave things as they are” was apparent.

 

At first, it was intended as a basis for improving their fitness, but if that is what you intend to do, I will not tolerate it.

 

I hurled as many abusive words as I could think of, and then I smashed a big rock right in front of them.

 

I know that the memories will be covered up and replaced by other memories anyway.

 

I was willing to accept a bit of trauma, so I erased the word “mercy” from my rational mind and beat them all to a pulp.

 

From that point on, I silently digested the training menu.

 

I didn’t tell them to do it.

 

Just two sentences.

 

 

“I don’t give a rat’s ass, get fired on your own.” (Jiro)

 

 

I took only the usual party members, who I called “motivated members,” along with me, and I took care of only them.

 

The others were left completely unattended.

 

I coldly told them to take care of their own meals.

 

I also thought that fewer members to lead meant fewer workers.

 

And what emerges is a sense of crisis.

 

At first, it’s fine. The members who think they will teach me anyway take a break without a second thought.

 

But gradually, they became aware of the danger of being neglected, and Nanase was the first to make a move.

 

She apologized and joined the training seriously.

 

I just let them participate without saying anything.

 

Next is Hizumi.

 

He was shocked by the spectacle of really leaving them alone and not giving them any training.

 

So the participants stopped for a moment.

 

And when they had a mock battle to show themselves off, they noticed the difference in their abilities whether they like it or not.

 

They also realize that they are being left behind, albeit belatedly.

 

From there, the number of participants snowballed.

 

Within a week, everyone was taking the training seriously, albeit reluctantly.

 

However, this training room was not infinitely usable. There is a limit to the magic power, and due to the time difference, it can only be used for a limited number of consecutive hours.

 

Naturally, the only way to make up for the delay was to be spartan.

 

Then not as planned… the training menu got crazier.

 

Well, I had to do twice as much to convince the participants, and I noticed that everyone started to follow my instructions without complaining.

 

After all, a boss who takes the initiative is more likely to be followed than a boss who only talks…

 

 

“OK! The cooldown is over! Gather around everyone!” (Jiro)

 

 

The orderly movement was a complete change from the beginning.

 

The group lines up and waits for my next words.

 

 

“This concludes the training! Check your status later. There you’ll see the results.” (Jiro)

 

“”yes!”” (Employees)

 

 

The training, which covers a wide variety of physical training and mock battles, in addition to continuous combat against Souls, not only magic, but also their close combat response skills, and conversely, long-distance combat skills will have a significant impact on their Magic Crests.

 

The supervisor checking in the monitoring room must have seen this as well.

 

I also have a sense of accomplishment.

 

I have been yelled at many times by Kaido and Minami, “Demon!” It is worth teaching with a demonic heart.

 

I guess it can’t be helped that the people who had been hurling insults from before were now looking at me with fear.

 

 

“You will be paid for three days including tomorrow, don’t leave any tired person behind. That’s all, dismiss!” (Jiro)

 

 

I dismissed them, satisfied with the results of my work.

 

Now all I have to do is report back to her and there will be no problem.

 

 

“No problem. Now Jiro’s absence will not be a problem.” (Evia)

 

“What?” (Jiro)

 

 

I go to the supervisor with the report in my hand and submit it to her, thinking everything is fine, only to find out that I’m fired.

 

 

“Jiro, you’re going on a business trip starting next week.” (Evia)

 

“A business trip?” (Jiro)

 

 

I was relieved to know that it was just a business trip.

 

But a business trip?

thought about the supervisor’s words as he turned his attention from the documents to me, but I had no idea where in the world I was going on this business trip.

 

I had never heard of it, but it could be Osaka, Hokkaido, or even overseas.

 

 

“Oh, I was originally going to ask you to go there to broaden your knowledge, but the results of the training seem to be better than I had expected. Don’t worry. It’s a business trip, but it’s also something like a training program.” (Evia)

 

“Training? So where am I going?” (Jiro)

 

 

The word “training” set off an alarm in my brain, but I put it aside.

 

If I think about it calmly, I would have no right of refusal.

 

In the first place, “I can’t” is the kind of line that an employee should rarely utter.

 

There is no reason to risk saying a refusal in a situation I don’t even know if I don’t want to be in, so I honestly ask her where she wants me to go, thinking of potential destinations.

 

 

“Ithar.” (Jiro)

 

 

The business trip destination was on an otherworld.
