Chapter 6: Recruiting employees (2)

What’s the hardest thing for a modern person going to another world?

When numerous races discriminate against humans?
When all the connections from Earth disappear, and I’m left alone in another world?
When you don’t see any of your own race around and you think you’re the only human left?
When you couldn’t pay the rent when you first came here, and you were afraid of being pushed out into the streets of a world filled with hatred for humans?

No, those problems weren’t hard.

Although numerous races discriminate against humans, there were many races that didn’t, and there were many races that sided with us, saying it was wrong.
Anyway, I didn’t have many connections on Earth, and I didn’t go outside, so I felt that the alien races and humans were all the same.

The rent problem was honestly a little scary, but I understood it after talking with Grok, the landlord.
Ah, this person is weak to affection.

Then when was the most embarrassing and difficult time?
I can say unequivocally that it’s right now!

This! Horned! Woman! Is! Playing! Games! In! My! House!

The horned, blonde beauty is playing Doom on my PC, with her back to me.
She didn’t break the door and apologize, nor did she rob me, she’s just playing Doom.

Is this the hardship of those who make money by selling games…?
No… no matter how I think about it, it wouldn’t be this much, is this because it’s another world?

“Ah… how happy…!”

“Are you happy? I still don’t understand what you’ve done?”

“It’s a shame. After all, there are dull people regardless of the times… but there’s no need to be sad! Instead, aren’t you a genius at making games? If there’s something you’re good at, there’s also something that’s lacking.”

This woman.
She’s strangely confident for someone who broke into someone’s house and played a game.
She’s the most shameless person I’ve ever seen in my life.

I was experiencing firsthand that the cold night wind was coming in through the broken door, gradually lowering the temperature inside the house.
I wrapped myself in a blanket on my trembling body and headed to the warmest place in this house.

Right next to that woman.
A strangely warm heat was felt near that woman, and the strange thing was that I could feel the warmth even from a distance, but I didn’t feel hot or warm when I got closer.

Yes, it was just right, as if it was adjusted.

“What saddens me is that a strange person suddenly broke the door and grabbed the PC and played the game. What saddens me even more is that the door is broken, and I have to fix it with my own money since I’m behind on rent.”

“That’s too bad. I wonder who that rude person is.”

“It’s you.”

“Aee. Don’t get angry about such a trivial thing. Oh, is it a gender discrimination statement if I say this these days? Anyway, things like this happen in the world, don’t they? If you’re too concerned about trivial things, you won’t live long due to stress.”

The person who broke the door and invaded the house, taking the computer and playing the game, isn’t trivial at all, and the one who said that is causing the stress.

I was relieved that she didn’t seem to be doing anything bad, but at first, I was shocked to the point that my heart felt like it was going to burst when she suddenly broke the door and invaded.

“More than that, look at this. Isn’t the difficulty called Nightmare too hard? Is it possible to clear it with normal play?”

“It probably won’t be impossible to clear it.”

In fact, speedrunners cleared all the maps 4 years and 2 months after the Nightmare difficulty was added.
In fact, it took this long on speedrun standards, and it was possible to clear it with the save-load trick a long time ago.

But that’s for humans, and in this place where races with superior physical abilities than humans are swarming, they’ll clear it quickly.
How could people be enjoying the trial version and talking about the difficulty?

Since the house was cold, the door was broken, and I couldn’t sleep in the situation where a stranger came in and was playing the game, I sat next to the horned woman and watched her play the game.

When I approached her, the woman wrapped her thick tail around my waist and pulled me.
I was pulled without strength and looked at the woman’s face sullenly.

And then I admired her.

There were far more beauties in this world than on Earth, but this person was the best among them.
She was the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life.

Red eyes, hair that shines gold as if woven from gold, and shark-like sharp teeth.

It was an unrealistic appearance and a great body, but because of the situation, I had thoughts of wanting to sleep quickly rather than having any evil thoughts.

Whether she knows my feelings or not, the dragon (estimated) was enjoying the game calmly and trying to continue the conversation with me.

“By the way, what about the new game you made?”

“Isn’t it enough to wait until it’s released? Is there any reason to rush?”

“Joke! If it was a problem that I could say so easily, would I have come here like this?”

How much time is left until the release?
I have one malicious fan.

Do you think someone will do this much?

Pang!

I was startled by the sudden noise and flinched.
Did someone use magic?

The city, which is considered one of the worst cities in the United States, was in an explosion. The explosions that sometimes came at night never got used to, and it’s even more so now that the door is open.

No one saw it, but if someone passes by here and sees that the house has no door, wouldn’t they come in out of curiosity?

Of course, that person is holding a gun, and that curiosity will soon turn into greed, and they’ll invite their gang friends and throw a house party, and they’ll take everything in this house.

If someone invades, I’ll have to be helpless.

“Hey! Don’t you hear the noise outside? It’s not a situation to be playing a game!”

“Why are you so worried?”

“If a robber comes in right now, I’ll have to be helpless!”

“Ah, you were worried about something like that?”

As soon as she said that, she lightly waved her right hand, and the furniture in the house was dismantled and piled up where the door was.
Hmm, I’ll be in big trouble if I’m too reckless.

Still, I won’t be scolded much by Grok.
I’m clearly a victim, and the person who caused all of this is playing a game in front of me.

“So what? The blonde beauty with red eyes and horns suddenly broke into your house and enjoyed the game all night, and you said she’s been hiding next to you in a transparent form?”

“Yes.”

“Where did that woman go?”

“She was there.”

“Yeah.”

“She wasn’t.”

“You son of a b*tch! Do you think that makes sense?”

“No, I know it’s strange to say it, but it’s true, right? Look! She’s smiling next to me right now? No, sh*t!”

Next to me, hanging by the scruff of my neck, was the woman from yesterday, in a translucent form. For some reason, she only seemed to be visible to me!

The woman waved her hand lightly and went into the house, and soon the sound of gunfire unique to Doom was heard.

“Look! She’s playing the game inside! The game!”

“Stop lying so much!”

Ah, this world is a scary place.
I’m not dying because of a threat to my life, but I’m going to die of a stress-induced illness because I’m being wronged.

In the end, Grok brought a new door, which I don’t know where he got it from, and installed it himself, and I had to wipe away my tears while cleaning up the broken door.

I had to pay for the new door, in the end.

After we had barely finished dealing with the accident caused by the damn horned woman, Grok sat on the remaining chair and sighed deeply.

“Are you sick of dying unless you cause an accident?”

Grok, who had been nagging for a while, finally began to get to the main point.

It seemed that he had forgotten the original purpose for a moment, because he had been through such a shocking event.

“By the way, I don’t understand this while preparing this.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t understand why you want to receive investment from me.”

He looked straight into my eyes and continued.

“It’s a game that’s already complete. There’s no need to get an investment in the first place. Even if you get an investment, there’s no reason to get it from me. There are many people with more money than me, and it’s not so difficult to find someone who can do what I’m doing better than me.”

“Why me?”

Hmm, there’s no particular reason.
There’s no need to say that it was just because I was behind on rent and didn’t have any money.

“Actually, there’s no particular reason.”

After hearing my answer, he looked at me blankly, as if he didn’t understand, and then expressed his embarrassment by scratching his head.

“That’s not a bad answer.”

We sat silently, and to break the awkward atmosphere, Grok turned on the TV by operating the remote control.

[A huge crowd is gathering!]
