Chapter 24: Let us give you a little roadside money. Life is an endless journey
There are various techniques for surviving in the world.
For example, react with great interest to a boast from a worthless boss by saying "Wow, that's amazing!"
This is the trick of surviving in the world.
To a senior employee, say "You don't look like you're in your 40s at all. You're so beautiful."
This is also a technique for surviving in the world.
If you go on a trip, distribute sweets worth about 1,000 yen to the members of your department.
This too is a technique for surviving in the world.
For a junior colleague's troubles, act friendly and open-minded, and say "Just do your best next time."
This is also an essential technique for surviving in the world.
And to appeal to everyone, always wear a sales smile, be refreshing and humble, keep a calm demeanor, and sprinkle in some humor.
I have learned every technique for surviving in the real world.
This is because I am the former "Old Man" who walks ahead of others.
It is the experience of a lifetime that I have gained as my only asset.
I can play the role of a good young man!
Hahaha. A perfect plan. This must be what they call strategy.
Are you watching, Carl von Clausewitz?
I am riding on your shoulders!
Like a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant!

I beat up the scout of Mahoro Academy, Moridoru-san, who was too drunk.
All's well that ends well.
Although my calculations went a little off, I was finally able to make contact with Mahoro Academy's talent scout.
This part is very important.
I still can't relax.
It is necessary for me to be scouted.
So, even though I really didn't want to, I brought Ms. Moridoru back with me.
If he had been left there, he would undoubtedly have ended up in jail.
It seems that she is a habitual offender who gets drunk and causes trouble, repeatedly committing theft of services in the Adachi Street area.
No, call the police!
I was about to interrupt, but the tourist at the shopping districts here, said that she was a violent presence.
She seems to be able to drive away delinquents and thugs at times.
There was nothing else to be done, so she turned a blind eye to it as a defense mechanism.
It's ridiculous.
I don't get it!
I don't understand it either!
And besides, they feared retaliation.
Retaliation from this drunken Moridoru.
For the time being, I took on Ms. Moridoru's debt.
I still have some money, though not as much as I did in my successful days.
Needless to say, this debt from the Elf was a tremendous amount.
So, for the money that disappeared, I absolutely have to be scouted by Ms. Moridoru.
You know.
When she's sleeping, my girlfriend is an Elf, and she's just beautiful, I thought.
That's all I thought, but...
After seeing that ugly scene, I felt complicated.
When Ms. Moridoru revealed his identity, I cut to the chase.
"Moridoru-san. How about betting on me? No, how about challenging me?"
Moridoru-san looked puzzled and didn't understand what was going on.
"Yes, that's right. The real issue starts here. Moridoru-san, how about scouting me?"
I showed off my skills.
"???"
"Well, I guess I have no choice..."
I exhaled and demonstrated my best and most accurate techniques.

"You're a student..."
After demonstrating numerous techniques, that was the reaction I received. Moridoru-san had a complex expression on his face.
Hm? His reaction was not what I was expecting.
I had shown both "Golden Snow" and "Extra Bullet". I was a bit biased, but I thought I had demonstrated some amazing techniques. My demonstration was no less impressive than the original Megashuva. I might even have the ability of a fourth-year student.
I'm even stronger than I was during Maria's depression event. I should have trained my combat skills and techniques to be able to challenge advanced dungeons in the game.
So, why was he looking so complexed?
Did I do something wrong? Where did I go wrong?
I am someone who has the viewpoint of a player god, and I can say it with confidence.
As I was lost in thought, Moridoru-san said, "Thank you. Yes, I understand completely. I would like to recommend you. You are a genius, Amachi-kun."
"I made it. Finally!"
I couldn't help but make a victory pose.
I did it. With this, I'll be able to make it in time for the main story. This is just the first step.
It's starting. The main story of Mahoro Academy.
"I'm lucky. Yes, without a doubt. You're a genius among geniuses, a tremendous talent. Truly a prodigy."
Ms. Moridoru.
"That's too much praise. I'm just a three-star character, you know."
"I'm the lucky one. Yes, please make me your exclusive consultant."
Ms. Moridoru bowed respectfully.
Exclusive? So, she's thinking about party formation, huh? Is this elf going to become our advisor?
But "Moridoru" wasn't a character in the game. She was a non-playable character who didn't appear in the main story...
No, that would be disrespectful to the residents of this world.
Getting back on track,
"You want me to form a party, right?"
"You know it well. Yes, that's right. I want you to form a party, and in the future, I want you to □× as well."
Ms. Moridoru hesitated to say the last part.
She looked like it was too harsh to say it herself.
I understand.
That's essential.
It's just a small checkpoint that's necessary to make all the heroines smile.
It's too small of a checkpoint.
"Yes, I understand... I fully understand. Leave it to me."
Those words were not a lie. I have conviction.
I won't stand for a future where not everyone can be happy.
The seat of the strongest belongs to the protagonist... Kazane Sakurai, I'll give it to you.
I am just a supporting character, a minor character.
I'll give the heroines to you as well.
Take all the good parts for yourself.
You are undoubtedly the savior of this world.
I can assert that because I was the player.
If I can at least make the preparations, that's enough for me.
To begin with, I'm not interested in being the strongest.
But!
Kazane, if you can only choose a future where all the heroines cannot be happy...
I have to surpass you.
If you can only reach that predictable and boring climax, then you are not enough.
If you can only reach that ending, I must become stronger.
In this world, I just...
"I want to see the best ending."
I think that's why I came to this world.
When I declared that, Ms. Moridoru somehow shed tears and smiled.
