The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oops, the meeting is over.

Yes, unnecessarily.

Rendezvous at the guild reception with your escort, Yudham.

There were only representatives in the conference room, so they waited in the guild.

Well, then, I'll do it.

Saying that, the woman leaves.Apparently, he was talking to one of the receptionists.

Did I bother you?

"It's just a chat. It also serves as an information gathering facility.What's next? "

"I have a plan to clean the city in the afternoon, but I still have time, so I thought I'd go back to the security company.I leave each workplace to the responsible person, but I have some documents that I need to review and sign. ”

So, when I headed to the entrance of the Commercial Guild,



Just before Yudam-san's hand reached the door, his eyes met the man who had entered the guild.

The man looked uncomfortable for a moment, but he smiled and called out so quickly that he thought he was mistaken.

It's been a long time, isn't it?

"That's right, it's been a long time.Mr. Wands (...) "

"That's what happened at the meeting the other day, but you look good."

"Yes, thanks to you." Did Mr. Wands lose a little weight? "

"Recently, it's suddenly getting cold... by the way, what did you do today?"

"I've just met some acquaintances."

"I see. I have a meeting with my acquaintances, so excuse me."

Take care of yourself.

The conversation is over, Wands goes to reception.And we're going out.

Me too, but you didn't want to have a long conversation with me either.

However, since my gaze was firmly on each other, we just greeted each other on the surface.

However,

Is it possible that the store manager is the current Wands?

"Probably just what Yudham thinks."

"After all, when the store manager was tingling, he was prepared to cut himself off."I'm glad you're calm. "

"No matter what, I won't start an argument at that place."They also seem to be wearing the skin of a good ordinary person, and you don't want to make a fuss in vain. ”

Hmmm.

Saying that, Yudam-san peeks into my face.

"So, why is the store manager not well?"I met someone I didn't want to meet, but would I be so depressed? "

"... do you look depressed?"

I see it.

Was it on my face so much?

"Somehow, I haven't seen him since the argument, and I haven't seen him for a long time, but I wonder why he even did what Yudham told me.

I can't put it well enough... but I think there was something more like "pressure" when I saw him before.Somehow, it's dangerous, it makes me think I can't stay like this. "

It's not a feeling of intimidation or anything?

“How about that? Anyway, I thought it would be bad if I left it as she said it."

However, I didn't feel anything like that when I met her face earlier.

That's why I really don't know why I was stuck there.

Rather, I think it's excessive that I reacted to him in such a stupid way.

No, I think it was excessive.

"If you defeat one goblin in a situation where there are a lot of companions, you should go to a place with the feeling of" be careful not to get hurt ". If only one person is prepared to die, and if you lose, you will think that the country will perish. If you look at it from such a side, you will not know why. It seems that you have overreacted to the small object opponent. If you say that there is a fire out of your face, or if you want to enter such a feeling if there is a hole, you will be embarrassed enough to recall, and you will lose your room until then."

"Okay, anyway, when I think back, I'm embarrassed."

Really, I feel like it's definitely going to be the black history of my life.....

"By the way, this is a question in the sense of my personal interests and another job, but do I have to do something about it? That guy?"

"I'm sure, but I'm sure they're wary too, because they don't have a good tail, and there's a" priority "and a" victory condition "."

Can I ask you more about that?

Yudham asked me attentively, so I checked the surroundings and responded.

"First of all, the opponent is placing various tricks in order to worsen Gimmel's security."

On the other hand, our victory is not about eliminating operatives like Wands (...) "

Legally or secretly, physically, with hard evidence.Whatever it takes, let's just say we can get rid of Wands and his people.But what happens if we eliminate it?

Unless the nobles who manipulate operatives like Wands and the masterminds in them are knocked out, or unless the masterminds give up any more stealth, new operatives will be sent back.

And what we can do to the aristocrats behind the operatives is not the current situation.

If you do something bad to an aristocrat, it could turn out to be a bad person on our side.

However,

"I have heard that the Duke and his wife are already moving in the capital."So we don't have to take risks and do anything.I'll leave the nobility behind to you. "

Mochi is a mochi shop.

"And what we can and should do now in this city is to" reduce the deterioration of Gimmel's security and the damage caused by it "until the Duke and his wife break away, and" improve the security of the city to the level before a large number of workers come as much as possible ", and then" prepare for the eventuality "... If the early talk does not force us to" solve "," keep the status quo "is fine."

At today's meeting, too, “the incidence of recent crime has been reduced to levels virtually unchanged before the influx of workers,” said Guard Captain Dammeier.

“There's still a lot of small quarrels and quarrels with more people, but also security company patrols patrol the city frequently using the benefits of numbers, so we can find out early and get into arbitration to prevent things from going any further.”

The store manager's security company is turning some of the influx of workers into security guards, so of course it's quite a few, right?

I'm regularly recruiting.

And while we're talking, we meet the patrol that's talking about it.

Just a few more steps away, the people of the city stopped them and said thank you.

They used to be half street people, but their authentic activities began to bear fruit, and now they are accepted by the people of the town as well.

“At one point, it was rough, and I think the city has regained much of its former calm.Regardless, I think we need to remain focused, but consider that the worst has been done.

I will devote myself to defending this state.And you just have to trust the Duke's people to turn you down.Nowadays, it's more important to you than to take care of the trinkets. ”

In addition, I came to this conclusion after hearing what Mr. Hughes and the others had said.

"By the way, if we compete in the social world at the end of the year, if we stick to that, we will win, so I have received an expression of intent to" end this year "."

I see, we were going so far, so that's why.

"What? What is it?".

"As opposed to the previous way of filling, the current way of calming down."I may be rude, but the store manager didn't seem too busy.It's just the first day, but I want you to act as an escort. "

"Not as much as I thought?"

Yudham nods a little awkwardly, but I don't care at all.

"As for calmness, as I said, I think the Duke's family is very big, and I'm not really busy at all."I don't think this has much to do with the progress of the conversation. "

But the store manager is now the center of the city, right?

"Um... I've definitely been talking a lot, but that's all I've done (...).I worked with the security company, the garbage disposal, and the Morgan Chamber of Commerce to create a slime product factory, but I just gave out my mouth and money and wrote the necessary documents.I will throw the actual business and management to the person in charge. ”

Really, I entrust almost all my work to competent CEOs as it is.All I have to do as the owner is check and sign the paperwork that comes with the bullet points.It's not a big deal.

"When it comes to checking whether there are any inconsistencies between what has been reported and the current situation, a walk like this morning may be a job, but... anyway, there is certainly enough room to look free.

I don't feel like I'm doing much work these days, and I spend most of my time studying my hobby slime research or field work, and then studying for a qualification at the Tamer Guild. ”

But I've been in a meeting before.

If you say that, just listen, give your opinion, and make suggestions.It was the guildmasters and their subordinates and people on the ground who actually moved.

Before I started a security company, there were guards in the city to protect the city, and the guards kept the city safe.Many people worked for the city in other guilds and government offices.

Even when security deteriorated, there was an effort by people to improve it and a self-cleaning function.

However, this time, the function fell into dysfunction due to the "overflow of workers".

For example, when a server is overloaded with a flooded DoS attack.

In that case, it would be better to reduce the load on the various places concerned.If a worker can't get enough of the jobs and accommodations in the city, he can make a new one.Nature and security will show a tendency to improve if the environment in which the self-cleaning function is fully functional is set up again.

"I made a proposal like that, and then I pushed it with money, power, and networking, and finally I threw it round."That's why I'm not as busy as you might think. ”

Incidentally, it moved flashily at one time, so people like Yudham who know the situation and gather information may look like "the central person".

But now it doesn't make much sense to sniff around me anymore, does it?

There are more people working to maintain law and order than I do.

Rather, the more you focus on me, the more you waste time and effort on the research side.

When I said that, it seemed that Yudham-san, who was investigating me, had some idea and heard a big sigh.

Isn't it surprisingly dark, Mr. Storekeeper?

"I'm surprised. It's not that prestigious, but I'm more likely to be deceived and better at using it."

Especially since there were many deceitful people and those who used it in the 39 years of the previous life, I don't think that their tricks stained me... It's irrelevant, yeah.

“I didn't do anything wrong. But before I go to the meeting, I want you to tell me more about what happened.”

"You've changed your story blatantly."Before the meeting, you were talking about the "technique used in the last game"? "

Yes, if you don't mind.

It's not a secret, and I was taught it by a teacher when I was a student, so that's fine.

"Thank you. If you can tell me your moves, I'll set up a time and a place for you.I have a lot to ask, but mainly about that skill of distraction. "

"If you know what it's like to be careless, there's hardly anything you can teach me in words... but first of all, it's a strengthening that covers your whole body with care. The store manager also used this one, right?"

“Yes, that's how I was going to use it.”

"The first stage is to maintain a state of full strength throughout your body and be able to fight normally.It's basic, and the store manager is good enough.

If you can defeat the enemy in that state, that's fine, but you don't know what's going to happen in the actual fight, do you?In some cases, you may have to deal with enemies that are too good or too bad for you.

Because of that, I was taught that what was developed out of necessity was the "application technique" that I had been using the other day.To give you an example, the "distraction technique" I mentioned earlier is a technique to attack enemies outside the "distance" where the fists and weapons are out of reach.If you wear this, you can fight off flying beasts and enemies coming from a long distance with bows, even with bare hands, depending on your ability. "

Here, Mr. Yudham,

"Well, if you can prepare properly in advance, I've never tried to do it, but..."

and laughs, and continues to talk.

"In order to defeat the demonic beast covered in a hard shell, we developed various techniques to suit the purpose, such as techniques to increase attack power, techniques to strengthen weapons, and so on."

However, no matter how good a master you are, you can maximize your power only if your weapon is the most effective.

And no matter how many applied skills you've acquired, you'll start by strengthening your whole body, and ultimately you'll return to strengthening your whole body.That's why "strengthening the whole body" is basically said to be the secret.

If you think it's interesting,

"... I told you this in a great way, but I'm still far from that area, so I don't really feel it, and I can only say it's" like ".

However, the anecdote of the famous Musketeer Tigal says that once he uses his mind, his skin becomes invincible armor that no adversary's blade can penetrate, and his fist has the power to crush and defeat the dragon's scales.And this anecdote contains evidence from multiple sources, which seems to be the case. ”

"Oh......"

Suddenly my grandfather's name came up and I was surprised, but even then Yudham told me some interesting stories about the military and famous adventurers of the past.

Moreover, thanks to his better conversation skills than I expected, his mere travel time became a meaningful time, and I felt the journey back to the security company was quick.

Therefore, it's a bit unfortunate, but since I arrived, I interrupted my work--

If you think about it,

Lady Ryoma...

Lillian, the maid, called out as she walked past the reception desk.

I didn't mean to be at the reception, I seemed to be standing in a discreet place and waiting, but what happened?

Earlier, Mr. Orest Molton of the Molton Slave Trade Association came to see me.

Huh, Mr. Orest?

Is that nasty handsome guy here?But why all of a sudden? I didn't even hear about it.

"When I told you that I was absent, I said," I came without an appointment, so I can't help it. If I'm not bothered, I'd like to wait for you. "... I'll wait for you in the reception room, but what should I do?You can still refuse. "

“No, I'll see you if you're waiting.”

I want to know what it is, and I was taken care of a while ago.....

Somehow, I have a feeling that I can't do it with a rope.Stay alert and make your way to the reception room.
