The brave Simmel wants to resign

Level: Quasi-Level 1

Cursed Spirits: Land deities who evolved into cursed spirits due to the extinction of their faith and the emergence of fallen spirit versions.

Seven Seas Construction's Plan:

Arrange the site according to the specifications of the barrier technique and proceed steadily.

Actual situation:

Simmel: "What are the specialties of Chiba Prefecture?"

Nanami: "...Peanuts, huh?"

Simmel: "By the way, Seven Seas, do you have a god you worship?"

Nanami: "No, but you look like you have some kind of faith."

Simmel stood still again.

"Yes, I've met her before. She's the water goddess Aqua. She asked me to spread her religion when I came to this world. Nanami, do you want to join?"

Nanami asked, "What are the benefits?"

Simmel: "Something related to water, right?"

Yeah.

Nanami will remember this for now.

【Task 3: The Level 1 Cursed Spirit by the River】

Location: Along the Tama River

Level: Level 1

Cursed Spirit: Kappa Appears, Three People Disappear

Seven Seas Construction's Plan:

Go to 711-Eleven to buy alien electrolyte water, then stay awake and ambush at night.

A fatal blow when the cursed spirit emerges from the water.

Finish work before dawn.

Actual situation:

Simmel: "Wait for it to come out? Then let's go during the day!"

Nanami: "What do you mean?"

Simmel: "If it's by the riverbank, then it's for fishing, right?"

Nanami: "What era is this common sense? Besides, why don't you go by yourself?"

Simmel: "Hey~~~~ Let's go together, let's go together, let's go together, let's go together!"

Nanami: "So noisy!"

Mission report: No fish were caught that day.

I think it's a problem with the lure.

..................

.........

"Cast the lure, retrieve the line at a steady speed, gently twitch to attract the fish, sense the bite, set the hook, play the fish, and land it... Nanami, please write more information about the cursed spirit and the victim on the mission report form."

At the Spellcasting Academy, a mission report must be submitted after each mission is completed.

The person responsible for receiving this is usually an assistant supervisor.

The role of auxiliary supervision is: driving, releasing funds, receiving reports and conducting inspections.

Similar to a lab assistant: opening doors, turning on instruments, collecting and checking reports.

But at this moment, the black-suited supervisor, who looked like a typical office worker with small glasses, helplessly rubbed his temples.

Splash...

5:30 PM, Ichigaya Fish Center.

This fishing pond can be seen from the platform of JR Ichigaya Station.

Several fishing rods stood by the pond, and a row of people sat on plastic chairs by the pond.

This includes the students from the second year of vocational college, namely, the Haijian students.

A light gray casual shirt, dark trousers, and ordinary sneakers.

With your back not against the chair back, your legs naturally separated at shoulder width, and your hands holding the fishing rod.

"Even if you say that and write so much, those higher-ups probably can't come up with any improvement measures." Nanami rested his elbows on his knees, his gaze fixed on the red buoy on the water.

"...Nanami-san, you've changed too."

"is it?"

Nanami said indifferently, put away the rod that hadn't caught any fish, got ready, and cast it out again.

"Hmm...you've become more flexible." The assistant supervisor pushed up his glasses. "Even the expense report has two extra zeros...you didn't claim all the travel expenses, did you?"

"If it were Simmel, he would have done the same."

"No, although you're saying it like it's a famous line, this is completely misusing public funds for private purposes!"

"—So it's all his fault, and since Xinmei was picked up by Senior Xiayou, it's all Senior Xiayou's fault. Go and complain to him."

"Please don't joke around, how could I dare..." The assistant supervisor gave a wry smile, and after a moment of silence, he said, "But if that's the case, I'm relieved. There have been just too many cases this summer... especially since Nanami and Natsuyu-san are both very serious people. I'm worried that the two of them might not be able to handle this kind of work."

Nanami didn't say anything.

While focusing on the bait, we are also thinking.

indeed.

A month has passed since Simmel arrived at the Spellcasting Academy.

Simmel was far too capable as a sorcerer, no, as a human being.

During this month, in addition to fighting two top-level sorcerers and gaining their approval and guarantee, he quickly learned the technique of the [tent].

His combat ability is comparable to that of the two Special Grade fighters, and his mobility and judgment are even more astonishing.

He traveled back and forth across Japan, seemingly without any sign of fatigue, and single-handedly dealt with two-thirds of the backlog of tasks.

Nanami, who initially often went on missions with Simmel, has now been given a vacation.

(How does that guy manage to complete so many missions while still having time to go out and have fun?)

Nanami tugged at the fishing rod in annoyance.

ENFP?!

"The Sorcerer of Simmel... I've heard rumors about her too. Sorcerers of foreign blood are very rare."

A sense of reflection on the role of supervisors.

The story of Simmel has spread throughout the sorcery world, but most people still regard him as a rare and talented sorcerer who occasionally appears from abroad.

Many old men who like to lick the boots of the American daddy have already gotten their pants wet, emphasizing that the white daddy is indeed physically stronger and can deal damage by relying on his magical power.

Regardless, the presence of such a strong newcomer has made the lower-level employees feel very excited and hopeful.

"Is the Sylvanas sorcerer in... Kyoto now?"

Kyoto.

A sacred place for sorcery.

Throughout the history of sorcery and even the history of Rippen, Kyoto and Tokyo have always been adversaries, neither willing to submit to the other and despising each other.

Because the mission was assigned in that direction, the assistant supervisor was a little worried that the new recruits might be bullied there... but judging from the Seven Seas Sorcerer's appearance, they should be fine.

"Then, I'll be leaving."

"Ah."

Nanami nodded, remaining calm and composed.

Waaah—

A moment later, the sound of a car starting up came from behind, while Nanami continued with his new hobby.

"You two, don't run around."

He took a moment to call out, and the Kaba sisters, who had been squatting nearby discussing whether to buy some fish for Nanami as a souvenir, responded.

Today it was his turn to take care of the children.

"Uh-huh."

The two girls nodded quickly.

After fishing for a while, Nanami hesitated for a moment, then used his knees to hold the end of the fishing rod, freeing his hands to clasp them together.

Snap, snap.

"...Please, Lady Aqua, vouch for me—"

"what."

poof.

"I caught one."

Chapter 19 Hospital & Curse & Sutures

A public hospital in the suburbs of Kyoto.

The hospital corridors are always filled with the smell of disinfectant, which seeps into the cracks in the walls year after year and lingers.

"—So, this is the third case this month."

Behind the counter at the nurses' station, a middle-aged nurse in her forties slammed the medical record book in her hand onto the table and took off her glasses.
