Otherworld Company Chapter 94.1: After The Cause Is Determined, It’s Crucial To Act

Jiro Tanaka: 28 years old – Has Girlfriends

Girlfriend(s): Suela Handelberg & Memoria Tris

Occupation: Dungeon Tester (Regular Employee)

Magical Aptitude: Nine (Quasi Demon King Class)

The medical office was filled with a delicate atmosphere because of the impossible status.

And I, the person in question, have an idea what caused this result.

I may not have any proof or logic, but I am sure of it.

“This is unprecedented. I’d like to know if you have any idea what happened.” (Healer)

I hesitated about what to say to the Lizardman staff member who was asking me with concern, but it might be better to say it frankly than to say it in a roundabout way.

“Actually—” (Jiro)

I told them what had happened to me, assuming that there was no proof.

Being eaten by the Evo Eater, at that time, my body was devoured to its limits, and I was just a step before disappearing, but I was able to recreate my body with the magical power stored in the Mineral Tree.

Before that, I also told him that I have fought with a large number of Evo Eaters before that and may have gained a large amount of magical power in the form of experience.

I don’t know which could be the factor, but I think it’s the former.

If the continued defeating of enemies changes one’s magical aptitude, there must be a precedent for this.

If they have never heard of this, then it is almost impossible for a person to increase in magical aptitude by gaining a large amount of experience.

“I see, you’re reconstructing your body in a state where you are only maintaining a magical body and are only slightly conscious, if at all… So, it may theoretically be possible to change your magical aptitude.” (Healer)

Unfortunately, I can’t read the lizardman’s expression at this moment, but I can tell from the atmosphere that he’s seriously worried.

“However, in that case, we need a detailed diagnosis. If your theory is correct, it would be like widening and hardening a vessel that has been softened by force. We don’t know where a defect could be.” (Healer)

“I am in your care.” (Jiro)

Just because there are no symptoms, maybe there is a problem somewhere.

If I try to challenge a dungeon with an easygoing mindset that I can manage anything in such a situation, I might suddenly find my body suddenly not working.

If I am beaten up during such a situation, I can’t afford to relax.

This is the time.

It would be an opportune time to do some possible tests.

“Then let’s move to another place for inspection.” (Healer)

“Yes.” (Jiro)

The medical equipment in this company is better than that of an average hospital, though the methods used are unique.

But I had forgotten.

This company should not be viewed by my Japanese common sense.

“That’s right, this company doesn’t always act like a muscle brain.” (Jiro)

“You seem to have a lot of time on your hands, Jiro.” (Healer)

“I have to make jokes to keep my composure.” (Healer)

When I hear of a physical examination, the first thing that comes to mind is a doctor’s interview and blood test.

There would also be X-rays, EKGs, and even barium and MRIs if they have to get more accurate.

“Then, before the final test, please take this medicine.” (Healer)

“Is it a diagnostic drug?” (Jiro)

“No, it’s a potion. You must be in perfect condition for the next examination.” (Healer)

“Huh? Is that so?” (Jiro)

“Yes.” (Healer)

In retrospect, I should have been suspicious at this point.

I should have taken a series of inspections as guided by the staff, and I should have been suspicious of the potion that was handed to me at the end of the examination.

After the examination was over, I thought it was a potion for diagnosing and drank it without hesitation.

No, it’s not wrong that it’s for treatment.

But a cure is a cure.

“Why do I have to fight the supervisor for the diagnosis?” (Jiro)

“Because it’s necessary. If there was another choice, I’d leave it to someone else, but I was the only one who had free time.” (Evia)

I stifled the urge to shout, “You’re lying!” (Jiro)

Suela had told me before that the supervisor was stressed out because of all the paperwork they had to do, and now she was going to use this to vent her stress!

I looked at the Lizardman medical staff who had led me to the training area to ask for help, but they were not looking at me, hiding behind pretending to look busy.

“Don’t worry, we’ve got a very good medical system. You’re a rare existence, but fortunately we know how to figure it out.” (Evia)

“By this is?” (Jiro)

The future is already inevitable, as I can see from my current situation, but I ask again looking for a ray of hope.

But the supervisor laughed as if there were no such thing as any choice.

“I’ll tell you a line that some soldier once told me. ‘There is no better test than a real battle.’ To get data on your body, we need you to use all of your magical power. If that’s the case, it’s faster to actually use it, that’s all. Don’t worry, I’ll stop if we see any problems along the way.” (Evia)

That means you wouldn’t stop if no problem appeared.

I wanted to tell her that it was absurd, but there were dark elves, demons, lizardmen, orcs, and numerous other magic users all around us.

In addition, I can even see some kind of equipment.

If I had known that the potion I drank at that time was for fighting, I would have never drunk it.

The convenience of the potion was also a consideration since it could restore my strength.

I couldn’t start feeling sorry for myself.

Suela, Memoria, and the instructors who are my pillars… they look like they’re going to fight together, so I can’t back down right now.

The only thing left to do is to bet all your energy if there is no stopper.

Besides, it’s in the air that we have to assume that it’s necessary to know what’s going on.

Fortunately, there were no abnormalities in the preliminary inspection.

I had no choice but to dismiss this as a necessity.

For what it’s worth, it’s not that I didn’t want to test how much my elevated status felt.

I should consider it a good opportunity to test it.

I let out a sigh and said I understood, and the giants took advantage of my motivation to put this and that equipment on me.

It was a bit of a nuisance to be surrounded by three giants, but I have to say that they were very good at what they were doing.

It was like an F1 pit stop, and within a minute or so of arriving at the hospital, I was fully armed and ready to go.

I waved my arms and rotated my shoulders to check the fit, and to my chagrin, everything was a perfect fit.

Finally, I checked the condition of my helmet and gripped my Mineral Tree.

“I’m ready.” (Jiro)

“Okay, let’s begin the measurements. Each of you begin taking measurements from outside the barrier.” (Evia)

At the direction of the supervisor, who was not someone massive, several magicians deployed magic circles and set up multiple barriers.

Now there would be no more problems even if there was a bit of a tussle.

There is no signal to start.

The supervisor is standing there leisurely, watching my movements.

She is in her usual work suit, showing that she is always ready to fight.

I could sense the atmosphere of a strong fighter like the instructors.

I can’t just keep watching her.

“*Inhale*” (Jiro)

If you are giving me the first move.

I will make full use of that advantage.

Slowly, I inhale.

My magic power is restored and circulated in the depths of my abdomen.

Slowly and gradually, I accelerate the flow.

By the time a second passes, my body warms up, and by the time another second passes, I will be ready for battle.

Just now, there is more room for the magic power that can be put into my body than before.

The circulation of magic power has become faster, though it is only from what I can sense.

“*Exhale*” (Jiro)

However, the stronger the power, the worse the control.

It is not a gradual increase in status like before. In addition to the physical ability that has doubled all at once, the vessel that receives it has also improved.

The increased magical power is almost downing my body, and I struggled to control the feeling of not fitting in even though it is my own body.

However,

“Ha!” (Jiro)

“…!” (Evia)

It is not that I cannot control it.

It’s more than that, there is the overflowing desire to move my body.

It’s like getting into a new sports car and waiting impatiently to push the gas pedal.

There is no need to rush.

The opponent is superior.

There is no need to hesitate.

Following my desire, I bet everything on giving my all for now.

I dare not use the [Intimidating Monkey Scream], but the acceleration speed that I converted from the magic power inside my body into leg power betrayed my expectations.

The speed at which I left the world behind was so fast that the wind, which should have been weightless, became a weight pressing down on me weighing me down, but my strengthened body was able to force it off and I moved with ease.

“Did he cut Lady Evia’s barrier!?” (Employee)

“A human! And a tester who hasn’t even been here a year!?” (Employee)
