Chapter 232: Masaki, Shiina, and Yuno
The investigations of dungeons both in Japan and the other world were complete.
Finally, tomorrow, the first on-site inspection was about to begin.
In preparation for this important event, today we were conducting the final checks for the inspection. Together with the three members of the countermeasures office, we had been making detailed adjustments since early morning. By the way, there were two events being held in the village today.
(Well, one of them just finished a while ago, but it doesn’t seem like it’s calming down at all…)
“Still, isn’t the ‘Sniper’ amazing? It’s the first time we’ve had a long-distance physical class.”
“Hey, how many times have we gone over this? Let’s move on to preparations for tomorrow…”
“But, Chief, it’s a fantasy I’ve dreamt of. Let me talk about it today, at least.”
As Masaki passionately elaborated, the three people here had received their jobs and skills. They had officially become villagers this morning and went straight to the church. Masaki’s job was “Sniper” with the skill “Sniping Lv2,” Shiina was a “Craftsman,” and Yuno became a “Farmer.”
The three of them were so excited that almost an hour had passed. The noise was so distracting that I couldn’t focus on tomorrow’s documents at all.
===============================
Masaki Lv47
Villager: Loyalty 88
Job: Sniper
Skill: Sniping Lv2
– Enhances eyesight and field of vision
– Improves accuracy of long-distance attacks
===============================
Shiina Lv45
Villager: Loyalty 77
Job: Craftsman
Skill: Crafting Lv1
– Adds a positive modifier to crafting and processing
– Target: Wood
===============================
Yuno Lv45
Villager: Loyalty 79
Job: Farmer
Skill: Farming Lv1
– Easily tills land
===============================
These are their stats, by the way.
As you can see, their loyalty is extremely high. There’s no worry of betrayal. The noteworthy part is Masaki’s ability. It’s the first recorded long-distance physical job, which is surprising, but considering his skill, it makes sense.
Finally, their excitement subsided. Before it reignited, we quickly continued our discussion.
Thanks to pre-registration, online applications were progressing smoothly. The number of registrants was still increasing, and they were being meticulously screened.
Currently, the total number of applicants was 125,000, with about 55,000 passing the document screening. The gender ratio was roughly equal, and the ages and occupations were diverse.
“Regarding the age distribution, here it is—”
<Age Distribution>
– 18-19 years: 10%
– 20s-30s: 40%
– 40s-50s: 40%
– 60s-70s: 10%
80% were in their 20s to 50s, and about 10% were in their 60s. The low number of teenagers was due to age restrictions. Even so, it felt like a lot considering “their parents allowed it.”
There were various existing professions, including those in food service, construction, agriculture, and public service. Among the applicants were also manga artists, novelists, and animators. Some had even submitted applications to bring their necessary equipment.
“Masaki, this ranking here—”
“Oh, that’s the desired positions after joining the village.”
“Adventurer and farmer make sense, but… wife or harem? What?”
The top desired job was “Adventurer,” second was “Farmer,” and third was “Anything.” But fourth was “Wife,” and fifth was “Harem.” Apparently, quite a few people wrote these in earnest.
“Most of those who wrote those two passed the document screening. They filled out the other sections seriously. They might be quite capable.”
“No, I have a bad feeling about that…”
What gives him such confidence? Masaki’s face was full of certainty. While “wife” might be understandable, assigning someone to a “harem” is just… what does that even mean? Thinking further is pointless—let’s pretend I didn’t hear that.
“What about this? I think they’re promising candidates.”
“Let’s see…”
Although it seemed unbelievable, I looked at the section Masaki pointed to. It listed the applicants’ hobbies.
There were various interests, including light novels, anime, games, camping, DIY, and home gardening. This was expected and hoped for. I was relieved to know there were like-minded people seriously considering this.
“How about it? If you’d like, I have a list of favorite light novels and game titles prepared as well.”
“Honestly, I’m very interested, but… let’s save that for next time. We still have the event coming up.”
“Oh, right. Well, next time then!”
“By the way, Masaki, what’s the schedule for tomorrow?”
“Yes, about that—”
Finally, we moved on to the relevant discussion, and from there, we proceeded with the adjustments in an orderly manner.
Tomorrow will be a two-part event, with both morning and afternoon sessions, where we will be evaluating a total of 5,000 people. The applicants will gather in the plaza at the garrison, and Haruka and I will be conducting the evaluations together. But if we proceed normally, there’s no way we’ll finish in time.
(Well, that method should work.)
Out of the 55,000 who passed the document screening, I wonder how many will be able to become villagers. I’m really looking forward to finding out. Ideally, I want to recruit as many comrades as possible.
Most people probably came with a festival-like excitement. But among them, there must be some who seriously considered this. They’re leaving their previous lives behind, so their determination must be considerable.
“Well, shall we go join everyone? …We’re quite late, though.”
“Chief, looking forward to working with you from today.”
“I’m going to do my best too!”
“I’ll start farming enthusiastically from today!”
“Hey, it’s still too early to move into the village. For now, you’ll be working in the countermeasures office.”
With three reliable comrades joining us, we hurried to the main event venue for the day.
