Being quick and a ‘Jack of all Trades, Master of None’ was not something I could rely on in my next predicament

“I went through many hardships up until now… But I worked hard and never gave up… And this is what I get for it…”

The manager seemed depressed as she slouched forward like a defeated boxer .

“You know, I never thought much about you before . Well, you were that nice guy who worked hard on the night shift… Oh, and I was jealous of your hair, which is wasted on you . ”

Her back rounded even further . Her arms drooped downward .

“But once I discovered that you were here, it became a bit of an obsession . Well, it might have had something to do with the fact that I wasn’t fighting to live through every day anymore . Maybe I suddenly had too much time to think…”

“Manager…”

I didn’t know how she had lived up until now . But it must have been difficult…

What could I say? I wanted to pat her on the back to encourage her, but it didn’t seem like a wise thing to do at this time…

“Ah, you are kind… You’re concerned, aren’t you? But it’s my problem to deal with . Don’t worry about me…don’t…”

“Well, you can stop looking like you want me too then…”

Her expression did not quite match her words . What was this? It felt like a desire to protect and also guilt were weighing down on me . I was being crushed by it .

“Rindo, is it? Would you stop trying to seduce Asagi?”

Daniela finally broke her silence . Hmm? Seduce?

“Asagi is kind and perceptive . A man who will try to help those in need . You have a lot of nerve to take advantage of that trait in order to try and tear him away . ”

“What? You were plotting such a malicious thing…?”

“Hmph . Well, I’m not really your manager anymore . And I learned a thing or two during my time here . Sometimes you have to be excessive in order to get what you want . ”

Uhh… The shadow attribute sure got her… Shadow Manager… Her attitude also seemed to change, as she now leaned back in her seat and gave a wicked grin .

“Ahhh . Still, it’s all being done out of a desire to have you . Surely, that’s forgivable?”

“Uh, I didn’t say that I won’t forgive you… But I…”

“Asagi . There is no need to listen to her . Besides, she looks strong enough . She will survive just fine without you . ”

“True . But…”

“We worked together for so long . Are you going to abandon me now…?”

“What? You were just the manager . We barely saw each other . ”

“Huh? I thought I was your saviour? Who hired you when you had nothing and looked after you?”

“I’m grateful for that, but…”

“Asagi was nothing but an employee to you . And that connection has been severed a long time ago . ”

“We are not severed . Our relationship would be the same in our original world . ”

Ah . There was an ominous feeling in the air… No one was listening to me .

The fact that the manager had been searching for me all this time, and considering our history, it was hard to be as firm as I probably should be . Not that I would ever waver regarding my decision .

Thugh, there was always polygamy…just kidding . Besides, I could just imagine Fiona’s reaction . She had withdrawn peacefully after I told her how I felt . She also helped me with other things too .

In any case, I could not reciprocate . The words just needed to come out of my mouth… But the atmosphere here was so…

Uh… Heinrich was running around… Adlus was strong, unsurprisingly…

“Hey, Asagi . I think you should just tell her . ”

“Yes . How do you really feel?”

“Right… Well, I’m…sorry…”

I had been in a bit of a daze, but the words shook me out of it .

“I suppose by apologizing, you mean I’ve been rejected…”

“Uh, yeah . Sorry . I really love Daniela… There can be nothing between us, Manager . ”

Well, that wasn’t so hard . You just needed to get the first word out .

“Manager . I’m sure you had a rough time out here, living alone . It wasn’t fun for me either . I had to fight monsters I’d never seen before with weapons I’d never held… And I had no special magic . The people didn’t think much of me and I was constantly ridiculed… It was then that someone helped me . Daniela . ”

I still had the clearest memories of that first day we met .

“We’ve been traveling together ever since . Once, I nearly lost myself after killing monsters . And she helped me . I’ve never stopped loving her since then . ”

“…I see . So you had it hard as well . I feel ashamed…for being so selfish…”

“You shouldn’t . You helped me a lot . I know that I owe you a debt . ”

She slowly looked up . Her expression was no longer depressed and it was as if a cloud had lifted .

“…Thank you . It means a lot to hear you say that . ”

“Manager…”

“Besides, I’m half convinced it was a temporary thing . I had nothing to hang onto, and then there you appeared . A person from my world . I was excited and convinced myself that I liked you . ”

“Uh, there are actually others…”

“What!?”

That’s strange . If she passed through Lambrusen, she should have heard about Matsumoto… And so I told her about the Hero who had come from Japan .

But I didn’t bring up Rachel . It was complicated and I didn’t even know where she was . Still, I would tell her eventually .

“Huh… Yes, I think I’d prefer the younger one anyway . ”

“Manager…”

“Haha . I’m kidding . Ah, Miss Daniela . ”

“What?”

“Forgive me for what I said earlier . It was very selfish of me . ”

“I will not hold it against you . Besides, this is not the first time . And you can just call me Daniela . Can I call you Rindo?”

“Why, of course . Daniela . ”

They shook hands . Well, that was a relief . You might say that everything had worked out well in the end… Fiona had been a lot more emotional, perhaps due to her age . As for me, my feelings for Daniela had grown stronger . I could not be shaken .

“So, something like this has happened before? Mind telling me about it?”

In any case, the danger had passed . Heinrich returned, covered in sweat, while Adlus walked back with the same cool expression . Bandi and Levee were now fighting on the stage .

I had meant to study Adlus’s fight, but the unexpected incident had made me miss it… Perhaps Daniela had caught it all . I would have to ask her about it later…
