I Became the Companion of the Gods

23 – EP.7.5 Playing games like life

The day after an unforgettable day at the hotel.

As soon as I heard the news that the traitor had been caught, I was summoned to the director’s office as a matter of course.

“Agent ship owner, I think about it every time, but are you really okay?”

“Yes… ….”

Director Edwinner is genuinely concerned about me as I am dying.

When I think about it, it seems that every time I come to the director’s office, I have been beaten up by my pet before I come.

It was so fast that I even thought I was going to become a real mummy this time…….

In fact, wouldn’t it be a miracle to talk with the director like this?

“As long as you say it’s okay, I won’t mind. Anyway, thanks to you, we have secured all of the traitor’s identity and evidence. I’m sorry I left you with what we had to do.”

“It’s okay, whoever caught it is important, isn’t it?”

Now that I have dealt with the traitor who was one of the troublemakers, I can say that I am closer to a more peaceful daily life.

… ….

The incidents during the vacation that suddenly pass through my mind.

Is it peaceful?

I got a little confused.

“Anyway, achievement is achievement, and if there is anything you want as a reward, tell me.”

“It’s a reward…… Well?”

“Huh? Aren’t you saying it’s a vacation this time?”

“I felt like going crazy because of the long vacation. So I hate it now.”

One of the reasons I hated vacation was that I couldn’t sleep at night because I had to fight mandatory defense throughout the vacation period.

Sometimes I want to get a good night’s sleep using work fatigue as an excuse!

“Anything in moderation is good.”

“So, how about something fun and active?

“I’m the perfect fit for you…… “

“Except for missions.”

“It looks like you don’t want to accept the mission even if you die.”

“It’s not fun, it’s dangerous.”

“It might be an easy mission like your first one, right?”

“Ummm… ….”

Is this really an easy mission?

Then it’s okay to accept it.

When the director looked at her Yata while sipping her coffee, she gave me a thumbs up.

Oh? Is it a mission that is okay to accept!

For a moment, too, Yata pretended to slit her throat with her raised thumb right behind her.

Ah… ! Ah… !

“I will decline.”

“As expected.”

I can’t help it.

I saw the future……

“Then, how about going to the training ground after a long time? Right from the afternoon, my direct subordinates, whom you know, have been training.”

“What? Has the interior of the training ground already been fixed?”

“Ah, repairs to the training facility don’t take very long, as they happen often.”

The training ground, which was devastated by Tia’s abilities just a few days ago, has already been repaired…….

Tia’s ability to destroy everything is amazing, but I think the people who fixed it in a short period of time are also amazing.

“Anyway, you will have to do pretty much the same mission as them, so how about joint training with them at this point?”

“But I am not a combat agent?”

“I want you to stop being stubborn and accept your situation.”

“What situation are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about a situation where you have to fight even though you’re not a combat agent. Has there ever been a time when you’ve never been in combat since becoming an agent until now?”

“That, that… ….”

Certainly there has never been a time when a battle has not occurred.

At least it was the first mission, but in the end, a battle broke out between Yata and the terrorists without my knowledge.

If it wasn’t for Yata, I would have had to fight the terrorists that followed.

“As long as you keep Shinsoo as a pet in the first place, battle is inevitable for you. So shouldn’t you also have a certain level of combat ability? Even for you and your dragon companion.”

“Ugh! Even so…….”

“But don’t take my words too seriously. Basically, do you think our government will step in and protect your safety?”

“Still, build up your fighting ability in case you can’t protect it, that’s what you mean, right?”

“Yes.”

The government’s manpower is not infinite.

Especially in the case of combat agents, there are many cases where they died fighting terrorists, and because of the unique danger, applicants were quite rare, so they said there were always few.

In order to maintain a country where the people can feel safe, it is necessary to use combat personnel carefully, but I asked the government to protect my precious family, and the government was willing to use manpower.

In a situation like that, to always protect me…… There was a bit of a problem.

“Hi… Okay, as the director said, I will join the training.”

“Thank you for taking my word for it.”

“If you feel grateful, please refrain from beating with facts in the future, it hurts your bones, right?”

“I had to say this because you are such a thin person, I apologize.”

That damn old man, he hits his bones with facts until the end…….

“And there is one more thing I want to tell you.”

“What else?”

“That you are talented. It’s my subjective opinion, but I think your fighting sense is as good as that of the agents, so have confidence.”

“What is the basis?”

“Do you think a normal person can be knocked out with an accurate shot to the temple?”

“Ah.”

It seems that you have already figured out how I subdued the traitor when I handed him over to the government.

Certainly, it is very difficult for ordinary people to faint at once by targeting the temple.

However, in my case, it was only possible because of the experience of being subjected to various terrible things by crazy people since I was a child.

It was detailed because I personally experienced what part of the human body is weak and where exactly I should aim for.

“I was just lucky enough to have such and such knowledge. Wouldn’t it be a bit unreasonable to judge that I have talent with this kind of luck?”

“Well, I don’t know what that would be like. I’ll just leave you with the answer that it’s only natural that those who are used to hurting also know how to hurt them.”

Chief Edwinner gives off a smile like an evil villain.

As expected, the background investigation on me from the time they wanted to bring me in as an agent was already perfect.

So, if I say more here, it will only sound like sophistry to his ears.

“Ah, I’m sorry, but I’ll get up soon for my next job. Then I sincerely wish you a good time with your senior agents. Have a good training!”

That damn egoist…….

***

“Aja!! It’s a record breaking!”

In the training waiting room, which is noisy before entering the room.

A familiar woman’s laughter could be heard outside.

“As expected, you can’t beat Dahye with shooting.”

“The undisputed No. 1 In shooting, it can’t be helped.”

“Since I lost the bet, as promised, you guys are my servants today! So get on your knees right away and honor me! You lowly ones!”

“I won with my specialty…… Dirty.”

“Da-hye, starting a bet on her own is rude.”

“Everyone, shut up! Bet bet! Anyway, I won, so be patient!”

There was also a person in there who was being beaten with facts.

I never want to feel a sense of kinship.

“Hello!”

“What? Who is this! Are you our junior?”

“Welcome.”

“It’s been a while, so nice to meet you!”

Senior agents greet me brightly as soon as they see me.

They were still good people.

I don’t think I can respect you because of the ugly sight I’ve seen before.

“Junior! What did you come here for?”

“Ah, I came because the director recommended that I train with my seniors here.”

“The director?”

“Yes, this time he told me to train and learn together, not to watch.”

“Mmm! Hmm! Surely my juniors have a lot to learn from me!”

Senior Dahye nods several times while crossing her arms.

She personally thinks there is the least to learn from her.

“Because I am the senior who is ranked #1 this week!”

“Ranked No. 1?”

“Ah! I’ll explain that to you. See that screen on the wall over there?”

When Miria-senpai turned her head to where her fingertips were pointing, a computer screen was output by her beam projector.

And various information such as ranking, name, and score were displayed on the screen, so the first thing that caught my eye was the name Lee Da-hye, her score, and the ranking of No. 1 At the top.

“This time, while repairing the training ground, we introduced a new point system. That’s how that ranking came about.”

“Oh, is there a reward for first place?”

“No, that’s not the case, but it makes you feel good when you say you’re number one among agents, right? Just like that.”

Let’s turn her head to where Mi-Ah-senpai is pointing again.

How is it? That’s all I am! I could see Dahye sunbaenim saying with a look on her face.

To be honest, she was a bit unlucky.

“So you three were training and competing here?”

“Right. But if Dahye just did it, she wouldn’t have fun, so she insisted on betting, so she ended up betting.”

“That is the result.”

“Ah~ Are you thirsty after training? One of the two! Bring me some water!”

She is a shy companion wolf on behalf of senior Dahye.

It seems that she has given away her dignity as her senior to her own, her wolf.

That’s what happens when you meet the wrong companion…….

“Then can I try it too? I’m very inexperienced, but I really want to try something that looks fun.”

“Of course you can do it!”

“You can do whatever you want.”

With two good-hearted seniors

“If you get a low score, feel free to tell me, because this senior will teach you!”

A senior who seems to have a personality problem.

I want to break the bridge of my nose that looks like it could stab me up to the sky.

…… Shall we try?

“First of all, I will try my best with the goal of winning first place!”

“You… ? Ha ha ha!!”

“Dahye!”

“It’s okay! It deserves a laugh, because I haven’t been able to show it as a result yet.”

“Arthur, my junior, how can you beat me who can’t even beat those two?”

“You don’t know that? Maybe you’ll get lucky?”

“Nonsense, even if you’re lucky, you’ll never win.”

“What would you do if you won?”

“Okay, if you beat my record, I’ll give you half a year’s salary!”

“Really? Is that true?”

“Really! Would you like me to write a memorandum?”

It took!

The heavy feeling of this is the perfect big fish!

“Ah! But the dragon’s power is useless? Because that’s too much!”

“Where is that! Wouldn’t you have set a record like that with your companion wolf?”

“No matter how you do it, the power of the divine beast is against the law! If you say you’re going to use the dragon’s power, I’ll do it with a story that didn’t exist!”

“Okay, shouldn’t I have an advantage because I don’t have a pet?”

“What do you want?”

“One year’s worth, not half a year. Please give me a year’s salary, senior.”

“Pu-huh… !! Good! Ask and go double!”

“Did you promise?”

Ah…! What do we do?

I can’t manage my expression.

I have to hold back my laughter……

It’s so much fun that it feels like it’s about to tear from my mouth to my ears!

“Then let’s get started right away.”

“Cheer up!”

“I look forward to good grades.”

Enter the training ground with the support of two senior agents.

Because he was an unofficial agent, he had to borrow senior Miria’s agent ID, but it’s rather good.

Because it makes me feel better to have the name of a senior I like even a little higher.

“By the way, they said they repaired it, but they just replaced everything…”

Buildings and shelters unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Standing in the center of this training ground that looks like a reproduction of the city, wait for the training to begin.

The training method is a simple method to increase the score by shooting the dummy dolls that appear as much as possible.

However, in this large training ground, you don’t know when, how, or where enemies will pop out, and buildings and shelters serve as shields for the dummies, so it’s a headache.

In other words, the key is to run around and find the dummy dolls that may appear and quickly defeat them.

Perhaps Da-hye sunbaenim earned high marks for her own excellent marksmanship, finding her enemies with her own wolf companion.

So, in addition to individual skills, breathing between pets is an important training.

But I don’t have good marksmanship or a good wolf companion.

He can’t even borrow the power of his companion dragon, Tia.

The odds of me defeating Dahye are close to 0%…….

“It’s only Dahye senior’s idea.”

I can’t stand it any longer and I look up at the waiting room with a smile on my face.

A female senior smiling similar to me.

I still think I can’t get over myself.

How could I beat her by her alone?

If I want to win…….

“First, the Black Sheep Wall is activated.”

Should I use the two remaining pet cheats?

“My dear, there is a dummy doll on top of the building on the right.”

“Yes!”

Aim quickly at the dummy doll protruding from the top of the building on the right and shoot.

“Take about 10 steps forward and behind the left wall.”

“Okay!”

As Yata tells me, I run around and shoot the dummy dolls that come out.

This is my first cheat.

Finding? Not required.

Why bother looking for enemies when there is a helper who predicts and tells them where they are coming from?

“Where next?”

“There’s one in the alley next to the rear.”

“Yes!”

After defeating over 10 dolls in a short period of time.

When I looked toward the waiting room to take a moment to relax, I saw Da-hye’s face, which was quite flustered.

Yes! That’s it! I missed that expression so much!!

Sue Ayu!

“Nang-kun, there are 3 piles in the building 100M ahead. What do you want to do?”

“Ummm… ….”

If the dummy doll is not cleared within the time limit, the doll will automatically go down and the next one will come up.

If you go all the way into that building and run around trying to knock down the dummy, and the doll falls down, it’s an obvious loss.

It will consume a lot of stamina and time.

So, one way would be to just leave it alone and wait for the next pile to come up…….

“I should use the resource cheat soon.”

“Yes! Here you are.”

A grenade that lands in the palm of my hand.

Approach the grenade made with Miho’s ability to enter the building and throw it through the window.

A grenade that shoots into a window as soon as the safety handle drops.

At the same time, there was a neat explosion with a loud explosion.

“You must have done everything with this, right?”

“Yeah, it has been confirmed that they are all down. Let’s go next.”

“Since I have fully charged the magazine of the combined fire and fire fighter Seo Bang, there is no need to reload it separately!”

Map hack cheat and resource cheat.

I no longer had a losing future when I used two cheats at the same time.

“hahahahaha!”

Ah! Fun!

***

I came back to the waiting room after hearing the end of training.

On the other hand, there are two senior agents who applaud me for my good grades and praise me for being great.

There was one senior agent who was burnt white in his chair and discouraged.

Looking at that figure, the result would be obvious without even looking at it.

Still, I thought I’d check it first, so when I looked at the wall with the screen floating on it, of course, the name of No. 1 Had been changed.

From Lee Da-hye to Miria…….

I won.

“I’m sorry, senior. Fortunately, thanks to the dummy doll only appearing nearby, we were able to recapture first place.”

“Yeah, I saw…” ….”

“It’s really unfortunate, then, as you bet, senior’s salary for one year…… What?!”

At that time, senior Dahye sighed and grabbed my shoulders.

It must have been quite shocking to see her body shaking like a drill stuck in the ground.

“Hey, I have a suggestion!”

“What is it?”

“Wow, why don’t we draw… ?”

Senior’s face looks like it’s about to drain all the tears and mucus out of it at any moment.

I think I could eat a bowl of rice just with this expression.

“Please! Just look at a year’s salary…!! There is a mountain of debt that needs to be paid off right away! Please! Please!! Look at me just once, junior!”

“Sir… ….”

For the sake of her pitiful senior, she, I smiled as pitifully and compassionately as possible.

Maybe seeing my expression like that, I start to see the light of hope in her face little by little…….

“Senior and junior, you should have called me ’Sir’ , Right?”

“Ah… ?”

As a benevolent person, instead of mercy, I decided to give my senior a realization that she should never risk her life in a game like a bet.

“Ahhh…!! No way!!”

This senpai is mine now, and I can do whatever I want with her for the next year.

As expected, life is a real battle.
