Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 251 250 - Being Quick And A ‘Jack Of All Trades, Mas

Being quick and a 'Jack of all Trades, Master of None' was not sothing I could rely on in my next predicant

"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 seed 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 beca a bit of an obsession. Well, it might have had sothing to do with the fact that I wasn't fighting to live through every day anymore. Maybe I suddenly had too much ti 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 ti…

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

"Well, you can stop looking like you want 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 . 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 ti here. Sotis you have to be excessive in order to get what you want."

Uhh… The shadow attribute sure got her… Shadow Manager… Her attitude also seed 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 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 ti ago."

"We are not severed. Our relationship would be the sa in our original world."

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

The fact that the manager had been searching for all this ti, 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 with other things too.

In any case, I could not reciprocate. The words just needed to co 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 out of it.

"I suppose by apologizing, you an 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 ti out here, living alone. It wasn't fun for 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 and I was constantly ridiculed… It was then that soone helped . Daniela."

I still had the clearest mories of that first day we t.

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

"…I see. So you had it hard as well. I feel ashad…for being so selfish…"

"You shouldn't. You helped 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 ans 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 co 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 for what I said earlier. It was very selfish of ."

"I will not hold it against you. Besides, this is not the first ti. And you can just call 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 , my feelings for Daniela had grown stronger. I could not be shaken.

"So, sothing like this has happened before? Mind telling about it?"

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

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