Chapter 15: The day I was prayed.
“Ehhー, highest education is junior high, work experience is blank…… What have you been doing for the last 8 years?”
“You, I think you should keep doing part-time job don’t you think so?”
“Don’t you think you’re not suited for our company?”
“You, I think you’re more suited to male host-related job don’t you think so?”
“You see, there’s a factory nearby right? I think, you working there is good enough isn’t it?”
“We’re recruiting people who can use computers right now……”
“How about you relax and rethink just once, that why did you even take a lot of interview with various companies in the first place?”
“You see, I know that you’re high-spirited but, don’t you think you underestimated society a bit too much?”
“Then let us conclude your interview. We’ll send your results at a later date by mail, so please check it at that time.”
Thank you for coming to interview with our company――
After our careful consideration, the results this time is not what we hoped for――
We prayed for your success in the future――

…………
………………
That’s strange, Japan isn’t a religious country. And yet just why everyone always pray? A god, am I a god?
“Misaki, it seems like I’m somehow a god now.”
“……Un?”
Misaki look up from her kanji practice book (grade 4).
Today is sunday, I’m rolling around in the house while feeling tired mentally.
As I thought, finding a job right now is too reckless of me perhaps? I think trying to secure a long-term job is a good move, or else I’ll always be a part-timer like I has always been. Almost all of the interviewer says there’ll be an opening in a factory work but……
I turned my eyes to Misaki. Today too that Misaki seems to be happy dominating her kanji practice book. And the book she’s using now, before I know it it’s already a book for upper grades elementary children.
And while Misaki’s growing rapidly, I got rejected from all of the interviewers…… so pathetic.
I want a job that I’d proud of but, In this world, a guy who skipped school can’t just suddenly raised through the ranks of this world.
At least if they’ll give me a chance…… well, that chance is only given to those who always work hard in their life.
“……Hahh, What should I do.”
“What’s wrong?”
Really, what should I do.
If it comes to this then I’ll have to rely on aniki1 until I can find a job…… No no, my determination is not strong enough damn me. Isn’t it too fast to give up right now.
“……But still, they won’t really accept me, really.”
“……Un?”
Wait wait, what am I even doing.
Misaki heard all of that you know.
“Sorry, It’s nothing.”
“……Unn?”
Misaki made a puzzled face. And when I wave my hand to tell her not to worry, she nods and resume her study. She’s really passionate about it.
……Studying huh. If I get my hand on some certificate too…… but still what certificate, what certificate should I take?
Oh yeah right, in a time like this you have to think the other way around. The ability I have is what I usually spends time with.
Misaki certificate examination.
I’ve learned the difference between her “Un?” and “Unn?”. And I can also sense her mood when she’s hungry. Maybe this’ll take me up to about 4 grade. …….Wait wait who would even employ me with those skills. Think seriously, me.
Well even with that said, the thing I’m better than others is only at fighting I guess…… Martial arts? No no, If I start doing martial arts-related career then, the time I can spend with Misaki would decrease. All of my free days would be converted into training days.
Time.
That’s right, it’s a very important condition for choosing my job. I have to pick Misaki up after school, and weekend is my free days, the other job that I can do other than the manual labor would be――
There’s none, there’s no job like that.
The world is not something to make light of at all.
Geez, Really what should I do……
“……”
“……”
And somehow when I take a look at Misaki, our eyes meet perfectly.
Misaki nods then stands up. She walks to pick up her handbag and then, walks to me and made a “Un.” noise with her nose.
……What, what does this mean?
She seems to be in a mood to go outside but…… Did we plan something today? Ah, it’s already dark outside the window which means, it’s already night isn’t it!?
“It’s the bath then, I got it. Let’s go immediately.”
“……Un.”
And so we go to the public bathhouse.
Before I even know it the number of my acquaintances here has increase, but I didn’t greet any of them. Knowing strangers from here feels a bit, strange.
That aside, Misaki’s doing her banzai pose as usual in the changing room. I already gave up the chance of Misaki taking off her own cloth and begins to take off both hers and mine cloth, after that we walked to our usual innermost shower.
Misaki likes to be clean. Or maybe, she likes bathing?
Her moods seems to be instantly improving when I starts washing her hair and body. Seeing Misaki like that, made me able to forget all the job-hunting stuff and focuses on moving my hand.
“THERE SHE ISSSSSSS―――― !!”
Uwa, there’s a freak coming here too. Is it because today’s sunday?
I feels disgusted, so I diverted my eyes from him. And then, immediately there’s a weird man besides me. Kneeling, rubbing his two hands together while saying something.
“Ahhh, dear god dear buddha dear little girl, thank you very much. To give me such a reward in my time of exhaustion like this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The hell is wrong with this guy, praying like this.
Or rather than praying, he’s worshipping Misaki.
“……Haa, haa, With this I can continue to do my best tomorrow too. I can get it done before the deadline…… Kuuu, as I thought little girls are the best.”
I see.
This guy is a pervert.
“Misaki, close your eyes for a sec.”
“……Un?”
“Just do it, alright.”
“……Un.”
Geez, this guy really do have some nerve.
I don’t who he is or where he’s from but, to be getting excited from Misaki’s naked body like this, he seems to not value his life that high huh. I know how charming Misaki is, but she’s still five years old you know?
Anyway, this guy can’t be forgiven.
I did a full roundhouse kick to the defenseless pervert. He flies away splendidly, before sinking into the bathtub.
“……Ah, crap.”
That was a brilliant show of violence.
If by some chance that guy is those kind of dangerous guy2 then―― can I even survive? Please do not send me to the hospital alright……?
“Buhaa! Sir father! By all means please show mercy!”
He’s still energetic…… look likes I don’t need to worry anymore.
As much as I want to swear, but Misaki’s here and I don’t want her to hear such bad words.
“Don’t open your eyes yet alright.”
“……Un.”
After saying that to Misaki, I bring my face close to the pervert’s ear. After confirming that Misaki would not open her eyes just yet, I whisper into his ear.
“……Do you have any last words?”
“I’m sorry, I’m just tired, and, my reasoning just……”
“……I don’t give a damn about your condition.”
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, so please by all means.”
“……The real issue here is what you just did you bastard.”
“I’m so sorry! I beg for your mercy! pretty please!”
“Don’t speak it a loud voic……e.”
I look back to check on Misaki in panic. And our eyes met.
Crap, I tried to calm myself down, from the look in Misaki’s eyes she seems to be in a bad mood now.
“Ryo-kun, bullying, no.”
“……”
What a blunder, Misaki’s now angry at me.
“No, I didn’t mean to bully anyone, it’s just that this guy is……”
That this guy is a pervert, and got excited after looking at Misaki…… How should I even explain this to her?
There’s no way no way no way. Such explanation, it’s as if explaining to the question how are babies made? An explanation like that is impossible! It’s still too early for Misaki!
“……Hey, follow me up with something.”
“…………”
What the hell is wrong with this guy, silently babbling with his mouth like a goldfish like that. Is there something on my face?
“She said Ryo-kun, does that mean you’re…… Tendou Ryuusei?” 3
“Ah? Why my name, and more over my full name.”
Do I know someone like him before?
Loud voice and a round face…… or is his face round because his wet hair? Anyway, I don’t know him.
“……Hahaha, Of course it’ll be like that. Seems like you don’t remember me.”
What the hell is he laughing at, or is it because I kicked him in the head too hard that he becomes weird now? Are you kidding me, I don’t have any money to pay for the compensation you know.
While I’m standing there trembling in fear, the pervert stands up unsteadily, but somehow he’s still wearing that cheerful smile.
“It’s me Wazaki Yuuto. At least remember you classmate’s face, Tendou Ryuusei.”
The pervert said that proudly, looking at me while I saw on my own appearance in his pupil. But after few seconds, those eyes of his are now moving weirdly. And in his pupils, is now reflecting Misaki’s appearance.
“……”
“……”
While not noticing my glare, the pervert spurt out a straight-lined nosebleed. My feelings of surprise, anger and disgust are now mixing up so much. that I don’t even know what I should do anymore.
But, there’s one thing that is certain.
After this meeting, my time that I’ve stopped for so long is now starting to move again.
Me at that time has no way of knowing that, I just starts to move to stop this pervert’s biological activity for now.
Law?
Common sense?
I don’t know anyone with a name like that.
Misaki’s the top priority.
“Hey-, wait, sorry! It is my fault, really, I’m seriously apologizing now so please! AAAAA ―――― !!”
“I’m reflecting on my action now. I won’t do it again. Please forgive me.”
A few minutes after. Misaki and me and the pervert, is now sitting in the rest area after wearing our own clothes.
I’m sitting in a chair.
Misaki’s sitting beside me.
The pervert is sitting on the floor.
Personally I think I’ve not punch this pervert enough yet, but since Misaki’s watching so I can’t use the physical language. Since the bathtub’s steaming nicely and there’s a lot of steam so I thought about using them as cover but…… As I thought I should’ve not come out after all? ……Well, let’s forget those for now.
“And, who the hell are you?”
“I’ve already said that I’m your classmate, Tendou Ryuusei.”
Why is he calling my full name. Is that apology only on surface huh. This guy really do have an attitude.
“……Your friend?”
“Absolutely not.”
After I denied her immediately, Misaki seems to be puzzled and is tilting her head.
“Don’t deny it, even if the truth might hurts you a bit……”
The pervert sighs deeply,
“Good grief. Since I didn’t see your face at the coming-of-age ceremony, so I really thought you might’ve already died……”
“Don’t just think I’m already dead on a whim you pervert.”
“At least call me a lolicon!”
Are you sure that’s a good idea.
“Oi lolicon.”
“What is it.”
“I just want to call you that’s it.”
“Stop that it’s gross! Are you a girl that suddenly get interested in me huh!”
“……Your friend?”
“Absolutely not.”
The hell is this, he’s acting as if we’re friends. I don’t even know you, actually how do you even manage to remember me in the first place you sick bastard.
“Anyway know your place you lolicon.”
“Kuu, my strategy to make things vague is……”
“What did you just said?”
“I’m reflecting!”
He’s really quick to do a dogeza huh.
“Umm, right now it’s really bad…… I mean the timing if I have to talk with the police now, then I won’t be able to make it in time for my dead line, so really, please forgive me. I beg of you.”
He finally cried. So now it’s really troubles me to judge whether he’s serious or just joking with me.
……Which reminds me that he said something about the deadline when I first met him. And he says something about being my ex-classmate so, he’s 23 years old, which means he’s a full-fledged member of society right.
There’s a nice saying that goes.
In this world connection is everything.
“Well, it’s not like I’m a demon too. I’ll let it go on a condition.”
“Really!?”
“Introduce me to a job.”
“……”
Really!? The loliconstiffen up while keeping that face. What the hell is this reaction, it’s so irritating.
“…….Are you, searching for jobs?”
“Yeah, I’m searching for it.
“Since when?”
“Quite a long time.”
“So right now you’re a neet?”
“It’s called part-timer.”
The lolicon’s eyes are blatantly goggling.
“If you keeps interviewing repeatedly, then one day maybe you’ll……”
“Misaki, Ryo-kun is going to call someone outside for a min alright.”
“Wait wait wait!”
The lolicon dashed out and grabbed my leg while I was about to stand up. His reaction is so fast it startled me god dammit.
“It’s my fault, It’s really my fault so please! But still, umm, I can’t introduce you to a job, but what if I say I can give you a chance, how about that!?”
“Chance?”
“That’s right, If Tendou Ryuusei managed to pass the test then, I’ll hire you!”
“Hah? You have your own company?”
“I dropped from the university and starts my own business so……”
“Nah, It’s such a shady sounding company. Sounds like it’s going to bankrupt soon.”
“It won’t go bankrupt so please! Our yearly sales has been going up at a satisfying level!”
“I’m sure you’re operating at a loss.”
“It makes profit since the first year! It’s a clean company with zero debt too!”
Hou, I think I’m getting interested a little bit.
“Then what is this company about.”
“While this inefficient world is trying to restore itself, the hateful manual labor workers are stealing our jobs, This company aims to end the boundary between the two dimensions world and the three dimensions world.”
“Are you messing with me?”
“I’m dead serious!”
“Then say it in a way that normal people would understand.”
“This is why these muscle brain are……”
“Ah?”
“It’s a job that you bang bang on the PC’s keyboard!”
Then just say it in the first sentence…… computers huh.
“So what is the test I need to take all about?”
“…….Tendou Ryuusei, are you able to do programming?”
“Not my field of expertise.”
“Then, try to learn by self-study after this, then maybe create something on your own…… yeah right, making a shogi game might be a good idea but, you can just google something like that and there’ll sources popping up…… The game of life, that’s right, let’s do this then.” 4
Did he just think it up?
So this company is a shady one after all? Is this going to be okay?
“I’ve decided. Tendou Ryuusei, I’ll be here, same time one week later. And at that time, give me a complete version of a the game of life source. If you can do that then you’ll pass.”
I had to master programming skill in a week, while also making a the game of life……
“I got it. But, how do you even do programming? And I don’t even have a PC in the first place.”
“……Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
The lolicon stiffen up while having a face as if he’s seeing something so suprising he can’t believe it.
I take a look at Misaki, Her eyelids are getting heavy because the conversation is too difficult for her. The content of our conversation is, for normal kids it’ll not be strange if they’d be frightened and starts being noisy but…… As expected of Misaki, She doesn’t move at all.
That aside, after that I and the lolicon talked until it’s almost the bathhouse’s close time. I ended the discussion, and received a laptop and a “C language that even monkeys can understand.” textbook.
It’s one week until the agreed date. Again, a week. I feels like it’s strangely familiar.
I don’t know how to do programming one bit but, I don’t have anything else to do anyway.
I’m going to do it.
It’s my long awaited chance. Its condition is somewhat shady but I don’t care.
……And also, if I don’t do anything, I’d get left behind by Misaki.
Chapter 15: The day I was prayed.
“Ehhー, highest education is junior high, work experience is blank…… What have you been doing for the last 8 years?”
“You, I think you should keep doing part-time job don’t you think so?”
“Don’t you think you’re not suited for our company?”
“You, I think you’re more suited to male host-related job don’t you think so?”
“You see, there’s a factory nearby right? I think, you working there is good enough isn’t it?”
“We’re recruiting people who can use computers right now……”
“How about you relax and rethink just once, that why did you even take a lot of interview with various companies in the first place?”
“You see, I know that you’re high-spirited but, don’t you think you underestimated society a bit too much?”
“Then let us conclude your interview. We’ll send your results at a later date by mail, so please check it at that time.”
Thank you for coming to interview with our company――
After our careful consideration, the results this time is not what we hoped for――

“Kuu, my strategy to make things vague is……”
“What did you just said?”
“I’m reflecting!”
He’s really quick to do a dogeza huh.
“Umm, right now it’s really bad…… I mean the timing if I have to talk with the police now, then I won’t be able to make it in time for my dead line, so really, please forgive me. I beg of you.”
He finally cried. So now it’s really troubles me to judge whether he’s serious or just joking with me.

The lolicon’s eyes are blatantly goggling.
“If you keeps interviewing repeatedly, then one day maybe you’ll……”
“Misaki, Ryo-kun is going to call someone outside for a min alright.”
“Wait wait wait!”
The lolicon dashed out and grabbed my leg while I was about to stand up. His reaction is so fast it startled me god dammit.
“It’s my fault, It’s really my fault so please! But still, umm, I can’t introduce you to a job, but what if I say I can give you a chance, how about that!?”
“Chance?”
“That’s right, If Tendou Ryuusei managed to pass the test then, I’ll hire you!”
“Hah? You have your own company?”
“I dropped from the university and starts my own business so……”
“Nah, It’s such a shady sounding company. Sounds like it’s going to bankrupt soon.”
“It won’t go bankrupt so please! Our yearly sales has been going up at a satisfying level!”
“I’m sure you’re operating at a loss.”
“It makes profit since the first year! It’s a clean company with zero debt too!”
Hou, I think I’m getting interested a little bit.
“Then what is this company about.”
“While this inefficient world is trying to restore itself, the hateful manual labor workers are stealing our jobs, This company aims to end the boundary between the two dimensions world and the three dimensions world.”
“Are you messing with me?”
“I’m dead serious!”
“Then say it in a way that normal people would understand.”
“This is why these muscle brain are……”
“Ah?”
“It’s a job that you bang bang on the PC’s keyboard!”
Then just say it in the first sentence…… computers huh.
“So what is the test I need to take all about?”
“…….Tendou Ryuusei, are you able to do programming?”
“Not my field of expertise.”
“Then, try to learn by self-study after this, then maybe create something on your own…… yeah right, making a shogi game might be a good idea but, you can just google something like that and there’ll sources popping up…… The game of life, that’s right, let’s do this then.” 4
Did he just think it up?
So this company is a shady one after all? Is this going to be okay?
“I’ve decided. Tendou Ryuusei, I’ll be here, same time one week later. And at that time, give me a complete version of a the game of life source. If you can do that then you’ll pass.”
I had to master programming skill in a week, while also making a the game of life……
“I got it. But, how do you even do programming? And I don’t even have a PC in the first place.”
“……Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
The lolicon stiffen up while having a face as if he’s seeing something so suprising he can’t believe it.
I take a look at Misaki, Her eyelids are getting heavy because the conversation is too difficult for her. The content of our conversation is, for normal kids it’ll not be strange if they’d be frightened and starts being noisy but…… As expected of Misaki, She doesn’t move at all.
That aside, after that I and the lolicon talked until it’s almost the bathhouse’s close time. I ended the discussion, and received a laptop and a “C language that even monkeys can understand.” textbook.
It’s one week until the agreed date. Again, a week. I feels like it’s strangely familiar.
I don’t know how to do programming one bit but, I don’t have anything else to do anyway.
I’m going to do it.
It’s my long awaited chance. Its condition is somewhat shady but I don’t care.
……And also, if I don’t do anything, I’d get left behind by Misaki.
