Job Title: Warrior

 

 

“Excuse me.” (Jiro)

 

“Well, Jiro came at the right time. You helped save two young ladies’ lives.” (Kaley)

 

 

The two, she’s talking about are Suela, the one who created the disturbance by letting her feelings and magic run wild, and Kaley, the mediator, who is giving a thumbs up while thanking me for my help.

 

The current situation is that we are lucky that we were able to stop the fight before it exploded in the office, so much for my adventure just beginning.

 

The current situation is that several members assigned to the tester section plus Suela’s contracted spirits are currently cleaning up the mess from the earlier brawl, making full use of their magic.

 

The speed of their work is so fast that if it were broadcasted to housewives on TV shopping, there would surely be a flood of phone calls for one unit per family. It was as if I was watching a movie that was rewinding itself.

 

At this pace, things will be back to normal in a few more minutes.

 

As you can see, there are no broken parts, despite the brawl.

 

The most damaged is…

 

Well, I’m the one who jumped in between those two in a fervent attempt to defend themselves, and I’m the one who suffered the most damage from the magic.

 

However, now I am receiving recovery magic while experiencing Suela’s lap pillow.

 

 

“I felt sick when I saw you! I was wondering what to do when you suddenly jumped in. You were being too reckless, even if it was just to stop her. (Kaley)

 

“That’s right, Jiro, even though I was careful when the magic hit you, I felt my blood run cold.” (Suela)

 

“I’m sorry my body has moved without thinking.” (Jiro)

 

 

Kaley was scolding me and Suela was just there teary-eyed, it might look as if I had stopped them thoughtlessly, but in fact, the reason for my actions is different.

 

Even if the magic hits me directly, I can put up with it even if I would not feel okay after. Since, as I look back on myself, my body has become stronger. However, it seems that a bunch of documents that seemed to have been made with difficulty will be destroyed. It might be my salaryman’s spirit and reflex moving in to prevent a tragedy making them start over! My body just moved on its own.

 

Well, it can be said that this happened because I first understood that my business trip was the cause, and I thought I had no choice but to stop myself.

 

I can’t say that I’m not happy about why it happened, though.

 

 

Well, okay. As for me, as long as Suela does her job calmly, I have no complaints.” (Kaley)

 

“…” (Suela)

 

“Suela? Don’t tell me you’re still thinking of throwing your job away?” (Kaley)

 

“No, you weren’t thinking calm, a while ago.” (Jiro)

 

“It was out of the blue. I don’t think Lady Evia forgot to inform me.” (Suela)

 

“Is that so?” (Jiro)

 

“Yeah~. Well, I heard a rumor and inadvertently asked if she would be okay if she couldn’t meet Jiro for three months, you see?” (Kaley)

 

 

Kaley says with a chuckle that Suela’s expression when she dropped the bundle of documents was funny. …Et tu Brute, you are the cause of that disaster, you know?

 

But it’s odd. It’s hard to believe that the Supervisor would forget to tell my department about my business trip, a matter of such importance that it spans different worlds.

 

Could it be that my business trip was decided very last minute?

 

I can say that it is an easy mistake for that person to have the rumor come first and the report comes later, which makes me wonder if he has some intention to do the opposite.

 

But well, it is true that there is a sense of discomfort, but even if I think about it, there is no answer.

 

Then it would be better to give priority to one’s time.

 

 

“But what should I do? I thought that Suela would come with me as an escort.” (Jiro)

 

“That’s impossible. She has a job here, and there is a different department in charge over there, you know? Well, if Suela can beat Lady Evia, that might be a different story.” (Kaley)

 

“I’m going out to the ancient shrine for a while.” (Suela)

 

“Wait! What the heck are you going to contract with!” (Kaley)

 

“The spirit I’m using right now is no match for her, but there’s that one!” (Suela)

 

“Calm down Suela! At least for the moment.” (Kaley)

 

 

To avoid being thrown from her knees as she moves to get up she hugs my head.

 

If you think about it calmly, Kaley is certainly right.

 

Well from the very beginning Suela has been supporting me ever since I joined the company.

 

We became lovers and I began to expect that we would act together just like before.

 

However, it would certainly be wrong of me to pull someone from a different department.

 

 

“So, I would have no acquaintances on this business trip, huh.” (Jiro)

 

“I don’t have any connections with the Intelligence Department, and neither does Suela, right?” (Kaley)

 

“That’s right.” (Suela)

 

Well, whatever will be, will be.” (Jiro)

 

 

I think it is necessary to do some advance preparation and information gathering.

 

 

“By the way, Jiro, when are you scheduled to leave?” (Kaley)

 

“Next weekend, but I have to prepare for this and that.” (Jiro)

 

“Why?” (Kaley)

 

“Well, I can’t just bring my things there right?” (Jiro)

 

“Oh yeah~” (Kaley)

 

 

Suela let go of me with a final pat on my head as Kaley nodded her head in agreement, and I thought back to the preparation list given to me by the supervisor.

 

Naturally enough, bringing modern equipment to Ithar was strictly forbidden.

 

Even if I did, I don’t think it would be useful, but I am even disallowed to bring a compass or survival knife.

 

It is called the difference of technological advancement.

 

A single screw from our side could be treated as an “O-part” over there. [T/N: O-part/“out-of-place artifacts” or the anime/manga/pop culture term for alien tech.]

 

That’s the reason.

 

 

“I have to get my equipment at the shopping mall. I was told that the money will be reimbursed, and I’ve been told not to leave it to others, but to procure it myself.” (Jiro)

 

 

The basic necessities were written in the guidelines, but there are likely to be other things needed.

 

In the worst-case scenario, even if I have to go without equipment, I don’t want to be inconvenienced as much as possible.

 

Fortunately, most of the items in the underground shopping malls are safe.

 

Now it was just a matter of figuring out how to make the trip more comfortable as long as I could avoid the landmines.

 

 

“Suela, since I am not supposed to be in the dungeon this week, do you want to come and stay the night?” (Jiro)

 

“Yes! Then I’ll get my work done.” (Suela)

 

“You really know how to handle a dark elf, don’t you?” (Kaley)

 

“I don’t want to be thought of as a jerk.” (Jiro)

 

 

If I’m going to be away for three months, I have a personal desire to be with her at least until just before I go.

 

After seeing off Suela, who resumes work with fervor, Kaley returns to work looking like she’s chasing after Suela, saying that she has important things to do.

 

I would just be an annoyance here, so I’ll start preparing for the journey.

 

That said,

 

 

“I can’t help but visit the place.” (Jiro)

 

 

The place to turn to is naturally a familiar place.

 

I haven’t heard anything about her return.

 

But I thought it might be possible, so I stood in front of the usual slightly old wooden door.

 

The sign for Memoria’s Tool Shop is, of course, closed, and the curtains are also closed.

 

I wondered what exactly was Memoria’s business since I hadn’t seen her for three weeks already.

 

I feel lonely when I haven’t seen her for such a long period of time.

 

I put my hand on the door and pulled it open, wondering what Memoria was talking about when she was on the other side of the world.

 

Naturally, the door opens…

 

 

“It opened? Did she forget to lock it?” (Jiro)

 

“I didn’t forget?” (Memoria)

 

“Woah!?” (Jiro)

 

 

The door that was not supposed to open opened, and I heard a reply from my words casually thrown to the wind, and I let go of the door as quickly as I did.

 

 

“I was shocked, as one of your girlfriends, to suddenly be surprised by you even though we hadn’t seen each other for a long time.” (Memoria)

 

“Sorry, Memoria, did you just get back from your home?” (Jiro)

 

“Yes, I just got back. I was wondering if someone had come to see me, but was it a coincidence? Should I be happy that you came to see me? Or should I be disappointed that our expectations did not coincide?” (Memoria)

 

 

This my-pace tone, I have no doubt.

 

Slowly the door opened and a girl came out from inside.

 

Her gesture is mysterious and scary as if she is showing that she indeed is a vampire.

 

The appearance that I caught while being surprised was a girl, in a dark brown robe and clothing that suggests that she has just returned from a trip, and she has fair skin, long silver hair, and red eyes that match her skin.

 

 

“So, can you help me clean the store for the moment?” (Memoria)

 

“I’ve got a little extra time to help you with that.” (Jiro)

 

“It would help. I’ll serve tea when it’s we’re done.” (Memoria)

 

“And if you can, tell me about your trip.” (Jiro)

 

“I’ll think about it.” (Memoria)

 

“Oh, and also.” (Jiro)

 

“What is it?” (Memoria)

 

“Welcome home.” (Jiro)

 

 

“…I’m glad to be back.” (Memoria)
