Chapter 280 – Beggars (3)

“Uh… I see.”

I listened to Rose’s words and quietly averted my gaze.
The fact that there have been a lot of requests for help lately, and the fact that I lost too many times to opponents who couldn’t lose, is because I kept hypnotizing them.
So this is my fault.

Re-examination of magical girl’s rating is not a good story.
Unless the magical girl herself applies because she is dissatisfied with her current level, most reexaminations are conducted under the judgment that her actual ability is lower than the currently assigned level.
The four on the subway got a reexamination, probably because I hypnotized them to defeat over and over again.

Power level measurement that purely measures the power of magic, physical ability, and amount of mana.
A coping class test that examines the ability to handle and respond to incidents and accidents.
Practical evaluation to check how they actually behave in the field.

Depending on the score, a magical girl may maintain or drop her current rank.
All four of them are magical girls who match their ranks in terms of skills, and because of me, they would have gained more practical experience and magic proficiency, so there is no need to worry about their ranks dropping or being maintained.
However, there is a bigger problem than the change in rating.

Reexamination is literally reexamination.
The four are magical girls assigned to the rotation line of City A, but as soon as they enter the reexamination, they become magical girls with no affiliation.
After that, it is judged whether the placement area is appropriate and whether or not it is better to place it elsewhere according to the detailed changes in the grade, and it is reviewed again where it is better to place it.

Regardless of class, the deployment area is likely to change.
I tried to win by working together, I tried to do well, but I ended up losing, so I had to re-evaluate, and now that I had to break up with people I wanted to be close with, it was understandable that Rosé would be depressed.
Rosé let out a weak sigh and said.

“We’ve become friends now… The teacher taught me this and that, so I became a lot stronger, but I still lost…”
“Um…Don’t be too impatient, re-examination doesn’t mean that the placement will change unconditionally…”
“No, anything that changes… Is fixed.”

Rosé said firmly and pointed her chin at the shower.

“That person… Was one of the people my mother taught me, so she told me this and that.”
“If you are a mother…”
“And Arna too… Ha, the two of us should be in A city… Right now, only Louis and Sienna are being judged, and Arna and I are undergoing a face-to-face actual evaluation.”

… Louie has a lot of maniac fans, but that’s all she has.
Sienna has some fans, but her family is poor.
Even though Rosé is retired, she is the daughter of one of the top 7 people. I am the daughter of a senior executive of True Vision… She doesn’t have to listen to more.

If you carelessly touch the two and place them outside City A, it will be difficult to handle the later work.
However, it doesn’t matter where Louis and Sienna are sent.
She doesn’t have any particular connections, but her skills aren’t bad. She’s a magical girl who can be sent to B city…Or D or C city.

“Even if I go to another place, it would be nice to be assigned to city A… I can see you sometimes…”

If you’re lucky, you might be able to go to a department store defense in city A, waiting on the road, or going to an amusement park… But you’d better not expect that.
Not only ordinary people want to stay in City A, but magical girls too.
The vacancy created in such a place immediately disappears at the request of magical girls from other cities.

“Haaa…”

Perhaps because Rosé knew that too, she continued to breathe a gloomy sigh.
I sat there without saying anything even if I thought about it.
To be honest, even if I were in charge of the reexamination, I would still want to send Louis and Sienna to another place.

Arna’s skills are rapidly improving and approaching the advanced level, and Louis also boasts a terrifying single attack power that is difficult to think of as an intermediate level.
At first, Roger and Arnado would have had the ability but lacked practical experience, so there was a reason why they were the same as Louis, who lacked his ability but had good experience and judgment.
But now… There was no need to put the two next to Louis.

Arna and Rosé can’t be sent elsewhere, and they’ve already grown enough to serve as team leaders.
Then, wouldn’t it be better to place a magical girl who lacks actual combat experience instead of putting Louis and Sienna as one team?
It’s normal to think that way.

If it was a hopeful situation, the newly deployed magical girls would be magical girls who had been deployed somewhere in City A, and would swap the deployment areas with Louis and Sienna.
This is also the case when there is no particular need for a magical girl to be sent to another city.
The problem is that it doesn’t happen often.

“Ha…”
“Um…Hey…Cheer up.”
“Yes…I’m sorry…I’m really…I shouldn’t be shaken by things like this, but it’s hard… I have to become an adult soon… Whoa!”

Rosé hit the masked face with both hands until it made a clicking sound.
He covered his face for a moment and breathed heavily, then lowered his hand, and the fatigue disappeared from Rosé’s eyes.
No, it seemed to have disappeared.

“Come to think of it… It seems that the unit where you are is a secret even to the officers of the National Guard?”
“Uh, yes… ?”
“It seemed like they didn’t recognize each other at all…But when you say you’re a boyfriend…So I got over it, but… I was a little embarrassed. Oh, you said you were moving, right?”
“Ah, yes…”

Rosé forcibly changed the topic, as if she didn’t want to talk about something more gloomy.
I felt strangely cramped as I answered Rosé briefly.
Rosé’s hard tone, which is trying to look strong somehow, is not cute today and is difficult.

“…Ah, I need to broadcast the arrival.”
“Oh, do it quickly.”
“Then wait…”

Perhaps Rosé also felt my awkward reaction, so he approached the driver’s seat, which had been set to automatic broadcasting, and broadcast arriving at the station.
Shortly after the broadcast, a woman came out of the shower, dressed, and took the driver’s seat.
I sat side by side with Rose, who had returned to the sofa, without saying a word.

The room is filled with the feelings of the woman who is irritated by glancing at me and Rose, and the feelings of Rose, who cares about me but can’t stand being depressed because of her difficult situation.
An indescribable atmosphere surrounds…
I quickly waited for the vehicle to arrive at the station.

“Ha… !”

As soon as I arrived at the company area, I took a deep breath, escaping the suffocating atmosphere.
I realized again that the air outside the subway was so light and refreshing.
After spitting out the heavy air that had settled in my body, I shook my head and brushed off the unpleasant memories.

It is a common occurrence for magical girls to undergo reexamination.
Arna grew up fast and was surpassing her advanced magical girl, so the moment she requested a promotion review, the team would have split anyway.
It was a little bit ahead because of me, but it will happen someday.

You may end up going somewhere other than City A, but I don’t have to worry about that.
Even if she goes to another area, she is a magical girl who sometimes returns depending on the situation.
If it’s really necessary, Rosé and Arna, who have strong ties to the National Guard and True Vision, will take them out on their own.

Let’s not mind.
It’s not my fault.
It should happen someday

… Come to think of it, it seems that Rosé has Grape’s contact information, so he should have borrowed the vision phone and contacted Grape.
She was in a bad mood, so she didn’t even think about it.
No…Let’s not think about it, nothing happened on the subway…
I didn’t meet anyone, nothing happened…

“After… ! Good…”

Having calmed down, I stretched out and started walking on my way to work.
The roads that came and went several times were full of office workers who were busy moving even though it was not rush hour.
A person walking while keeping in touch with a business partner, a person returning to work tired after working somewhere, a person walking with coffee in both hands… A salesperson at a pharmaceutical company holding a fatigue reliever… All of them are tired office workers.

Before leaving the company, I used to wear a suit and run coffee errands among these people, but now I was different.
After Esther was infected, we looked at each other and no one wore sportswear, I couldn’t even wash it and sweated right after I came out, and my hair was messed up, my face grew rough in one day, my back was bigger than my upper body and full of junk. The street is wearing a backpack.
Anyone can see that he has been kicked out of the house, and he is only seen as an unemployed man.

Except for the clothes that were in slightly better condition, they looked no different from the homeless people seen in City A.
People walking around in suits frowned when they saw me like that.
I think he thought he was living in a nearby park.

However, I wasn’t embarrassed at all.
No matter how much you look at me as a stinky unemployed… I am the man who touched the hymen with rapids and ejaculated the semen inside.
He is the man who had sex with Grape, licked Esther’s pussy, listened to office workers’ voices every time they went to work, and ate all of their favorite Arna, Louie, Rosé, and Sienna.

No matter how much you look at me, I am confident.
There is no need to worry about the eyes of ordinary people.
But even so, a woman passing her nose in front of her eyes is a little bothersome.

Although the body smells a little mixed with dust and sweat, it doesn’t smell that bad…
Does your greasy hair smell like grease?
No, is it because of the musty smell from a bag full of wet and dry things?

I lowered the bag on my back and sniffed it.
Contrary to my expectations, the bag did not have a strong smell.
It’s not that it doesn’t fly, but it’s not to the extent that I frown as I pass by.

So…Does my body really smell?
Just in case, when I go to work, I should go to the bathroom to wash my hair and wash my face.
I made sure to pack face wash and shampoo, and towels…You can just dry them with a dryer.
