TL: Thank you Aron Glazer for the donation.

The 5th squad started anew today.

However, none of the other members except for myself and Seira had come to work.

They were slacking off in an obvious way.

According to the other guards, this was not unusual. In fact, it would be stranger if they came to work like.

“I can’t understand how such people are left unattended without being fired……”

“They might have a few behavioral problems, but they are definitely capable. They are indispensable for the protection of the city.”

Seira answered my question in an easy-to-understand manner.

The most important thing for a guard was strength.

Of course, it would be perfect if they were cooperative in addition to being strong, but it seems that they have the skills to fill that shortfall.

“For now, I need them to come to work……”

If I let it go on like this, I’ll be accused of neglecting my responsibilities as their leader.

……Jeez. I’ve really been forced to accept such a difficult squad.

“Seira. Do you know where the other squad members are at right now?”

“Let me see. At this hour, I think Spinoza-san is at the tavern.”

“Eh? Tavern? In the morning?”

“Spinoza-san is always drinking every night. She drinks until morning, goes to bed, and then wakes up in the evening to drink again.”

“This doesn’t smell like a problem child anymore.”

I feel like turning back.

“Well, since you know where she is, it will be easier to make contact with her. Seira, I’m sorry, but can you take me to the tavern?”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

Seira brought me to a popular tavern in the city.

The place was located at the corner of the main street.

When we opened the door and went inside, the entire place looked as if a storm had passed.

Empty mugs and kegs were scattered on the tables, and drunken customers were slumped on the floor everywhere.

“This is…… terrible……”

What kind of drinking habit could create such a mess?

“I see her. There she is.”

Seira pointed to a woman lying like a dead person on the table in the back.

“Spinoza-san, please wake up.”

“Nnnn……?”

The woman named Spinoza looked up languidly.

Her hair was bright gold, and her eyes were as sharp as blades.

I could not help but think that she was a beauty.

However, the rest of her appearance was so bad that it was written off.

She had dark circles under her eyes and a pale, hungover complexion. She also heavily smelled of alcohol, which made me think of how much she had drunk.

“Ohh, it’s Seira…… Jeez. Work colleagues should not just appear in my dreams. It’s ruining my good mood.”

“It’s not a dream. I am the real person.”

“……”

Spinoza stared at Seira.

“Which one?”

She reached out and rubbed Seira’s chest.

“W-what are you doing!?”

“I’m just trying to check if this is a dream of reality. This feeling is definitely real. Seira in front of me is definitely real.”

“Please don’t use such a method to check!”

Seira hugged her shoulders and protested as her face turned red.

Spinoza was grinning and happy to see her. The way she communicates is the same as a perverted old man.

That was when Spinoza noticed me next to Seira.

“……Hm? You are?”

“I’m Sieg. I joined about a month ago.”

“Hmmm. No wonder I’ve never seen you before. Right, I haven’t been to work much since I joined the squad.”

You don’t have to say that so proudly.

“Sieg-san was promoted to squad leader in only a month after he joined. So he’s going to be our leader from today on.”

“A? What about the previous squad leader?”

“That…… he quit.”

“Hmmm. Well, I don’t really care. I’m not interested in small fries.”

Spinoza picked her ears with her pinky finger and looked at me.

“……So? What does the squad leader want with me? Have you come to have a drink with me to deepen our friendship?”

“It’s not time for that yet, right?”

“You don’t understand. Drinking is something you do whenever you want to.”

That was the thinking of a complete alcoholic.

“I’m here to bring you to work.”

“I refuse,” Spinoza immediately cut me off.

“No, you cannot refuse…… As long as you have an employment contract, you are obligated to come to work in exchange for getting paid.”

“Don’t give me that argument. You’re going to give me heartburn,” Spinoza said boringly.

“I’m not going to follow the orders from someone weaker than me.”

“Then, if I prove that I am stronger than you, will you do what I say? Will you go to work every day?”

“Well, that’s how it would work…… but, can you beat me? You don’t look that strong to me.”

“If I wasn’t sure that I could beat you, I wouldn’t say it.”

When I said that Spinoza chuckled with amusement.

There was a belligerent glint in her eyes.

“Bring it on. I will judge you and find out if you have what it takes to make me obey you.”

TL: Sorry for not releasing for a long time. I got sick (not COVID), but I came into contact with COVID people after going to the hospital and had to quarantine. I couldn’t translate because I only have a desktop and couldn’t bring it to quarantine. I wish to ask everyone for help, the medicine I’m taking is a bit expensive, but I can barely buy it. If you can please donate a bit. A small amount can go a long way. Thank you.
