[Hated Hero, Taking a Part-Time Job]

“I see. You’ll go home, huh.”

After the exams were over and the summer vacation had finally started, I paid a visit to Ms. Teixeira in her laboratory.

――Not that I had a business with her; she had called me over out of nowhere.

“Yes, and then to my family’s villa that is located at a summer resort.”

“And when will that be?”

“The plan is for us to leave for my home so we can match the timing of us coming back with my father’s after he is done inspecting other territories. So, about a week later, perhaps.”

“Us?”

“Ah, Tayte is coming with me.”

“Hmm… Compared to last year, you guys are incredibly close now, aren’t you?”

Well duh.

The current Barrett was now me, after all.

And my number one priority was Tayte’s happiness.

“Raul immediately left for a training journey with Sir Klaus when the vacation started. Without the Demon Sword and Holy Sword around, it sure is going to be a boring summer for me.” Ms. Teixeira released a disappointed sigh.

As expected of a researcher, I supposed. It seemed that the fact that both of her research subjects wouldn’t be around for an extended period of time didn’t sit very well with Ms. Teixeira.

“Oh, right. I called you over today about another matter.”

“Another matter?”

Speaking of, I hadn’t heard anything about the reason why she had called me over.

“Yup. Barrett… feel like trying a part-time job before you go back?”

“Part-time job?”

“Yeah. I know you have no problem monetarily, so I’ve prepared a special reward just for you—how do you like this?”

“?! T-this is…”

Ms. Teixeira handed me a piece of paper.

Written on it were the content of the part-time job and its reward.

As soon as I read it, I immediately agreed.

◇◇◇

Two days later.

“Barrett~♪.” Tayte waved her hand at me, frolicking merrily.

I waved my hand back in response, but my face completely slackened.

The reason being, she was wearing a dazzling swimsuit—one that they called one-piece, I think?—I just couldn’t take my eyes off her. I never imagined I would get to see it so early. What a sight for sore eyes.

“She’s like a living jewel…”

“What are you muttering about?”

“Uwa?!”

Jarvis whispered into my ear from behind me, causing me to jump out in surprise.

“Jeez, guys like you are really…”

“This is all guys’ inborn disposition!”

“…Then, what do you think about my swimsuit?”

With that, Jarvis struck a pose to show off her swimsuit.

“Mhm. You don’t look unnatural even though you’re wearing a man’s swimsuit. I’d expect no less of you, Jarvis.”

“…Ah, that so.”

It seemed like Jarvis didn’t like my compliment very much as she puffed out her cheek.

——Anyway, this part-time job would be taken on by me, Tayte, Jarvis, and additionally, Mr. Walter.

As for what we were supposed to do… it was to subjugate a monster that had appeared at a fishing port near the academy.

Apparently, this kind of monster subjugation work was handled by students and teachers from time to time. However, Mr. Walter told me that it had been a long time since students in our year took one.

“It’s simply proof of how excellent you guys are.” Mr. Walter, who had said so, was also wearing swimwear—boomerang pants.

A muscular body in boomerang pants… it made it difficult to look at him without your eyes getting drawn to a certain part.

By the way, I had also changed into swimwear.

We were supposed to head to the fishing port originally, but then the mayor of the town, who had made the request, told us that the nearby beach had taken more serious damage. And thus, here we were, under the guise of beach-goers.

Also, as matter of course, Jarvis was wearing swimwear that fully covered her upper body, just like the one she wore during the water magic practical. Mr. Walter, unaware of the circumstances, had given it a comment: “That’s a strange swimwear you got there,” but I’d somehow fooled him with Tayte.

“Still, is it really okay for us to take it easy like this when we’re supposed to subjugate a monster?” I wondered out loud.

“Well, the academy is already closed and will stay that way until summer vacation ends, so there shouldn’t be any problem, right? Mr. Walter seems to be having a blast, too,” Jarvis replied.

“…That’s exactly why I feel like we shouldn’t take it easy.”

You must not lose focus when you were up against a monster…

“Barret ~ ♪ Jarvis ~ ♪ Let’s swim together ~♪”

“I withdraw my previous statement. I’m gonna swim too.”

“Your honesty to your desires deserves respect.”

I mean, the plan was for us to pretend to be regular beach-goers so as to lure out the monster—it could be said that we should have fun, instead.

Besides… to get my reward, defeating the monster was a must.

Now, come at me anytime you want, oh monster!
