The LV.99 Middle Boss, Starts His Second Life with Subordinates!

To reiterate, the Senri the Myriad—her level is 95.

 

　Speaking of level 95, it’s a level so great that it ranks alongside the legendary demons and people in myths.

 

　However, her sheer stupidity transcends even the concept of level.

 

 

“Aaaaah!?” (Senri)

 

 

　After eating my [Thousand Hands] Deco Pin she was blown far away, screaming pitifully.

 

 

　Her whole body is struck by the branches of the trees that line up.

 

　If you think about it, bounce over the pond many times like a drainer stone.

 

　After all, when I rolled down to the middle of the mountain, I finally stopped.

 

　It is about to go down the mountain while rolling.

 

 

“Uhhhhhh… I thought I’m going to die… huh!? The Keystone!? Where is the keystone!?” (Senri)

 

 

　Senri’s eyes went blank for a while, and then she turned pale immediately and went to pat her body everywhere.

 

　It seemed that she had found what she was looking for immediately, and she held it high in the air–

 

 

“There you are!” (Senri)

 

“Well, that’s good to know, because…? Let’s hear what’s sealed in there.”

 

 

“Huh!?” (Senri)

 

 

　She was so absorbed in her search that when Senri finally noticed me coming up behind her.

 

　Her whole body is soaked in water and her eyes are tearing up, which is terrible.

 

 

“Well, I’ll never let go of the keystone!?” (Senri)

 

“Don’t be silly, I’ve already told you, I don’t know what’s sealed in there.”

 

“And it’s no use squeezing! All the souls…!” (Senri)

 

“–Enough!”

 

“Hiiii!?” (Senri)

 

 

　Senri’s shoulders jerked involuntarily.

 

　There are parts where I feel like screaming… Oh, come on…!

 

　I scratched my head.

 

 

“Listen to me! I’m just a normal monster (employee)――I was asked by Sakura, I’m just here to give you guidance on how to improve your working environment.! “

 

“Improve the working environment?” (Senri)

 

 

　Senri looks blank with her already wide eyes wider.

 

　After all,

 

 

 

 

“……why?” (Senri)

 

 

　She made a mess of things.

 

　A vein in my temples throbbed.

 

 

“Why…?! You’re the one who’s been running this dungeon quite sloppily, so don’t play dumb!”

 

“What do you mean, “sloppy”? My Inanaki Sacred Mountain is perfect!?” (Senri)

 

“How then is there a whistle-blower that got out……! No, how do you explain this mess!?”

 

“Hmm! I have nothing to hide! There’s nothing to be ashamed of! We all have a fulfilling life’s work!” (Senri)

 

“You…!”

 

“Hiiiee!?” (Senri)

 

 

　I naturally wielded my fist at Senri’s morbidly stupid words.

 

 

　Is this a full-filling work life?

 

　I’m convinced now that this thing is evil.

 

　Its existence itself is nothing but an insult to all managers and employees.

 

　But

 

 

“……huh?” (Senri)

 

 

　I stopped my fist at the end.

 

　Seeing Senri’s stupidity, the worst thought… came to my mind, and it made me stop my fist.

 

　I threw a question to her, who was shaking nervously, protecting her head.

 

 

“…Senri, I’m going to ask you one very stupid question—do you know the Labor Standards Act…?”

 

 

　It’s a stupid question.

 

　The Labor Standards Law is a law that stipulates minimum standards for the protection of workers.

 

　It is a principle of absolute compliance imposed on us, the middle bosses.

 

　There’s no way you can call yourself a middle boss without knowing it, but she’s…

 

 

“…Labor Standards Act?” (Senri)

 

 

　I felt dizzy.

 

 

　Her reaction was enough.

 

 

　I fought back the urge to swoon and sat on the floor.

 

　So I rub the bridge of my nose, sigh deeply, and slowly speak to the confused Senri.

 

 

“Senri… We have 24 hours a day, so think of the amount of time you can work with proper judgment.”

 

“Ummm, what, am I getting punished…?” (Senri)

 

 

“Just answer me, please.”

 

 

　It was already a plea.

 

　Senri replied, as bewildered as ever.

 

 

“ You can work as much as you want, there is no limit……” (Senri)

 

“…”

 

 

　Wrinkles appear between Narugoa’s eyebrows.

 

　However, Senri didn’t seem to care about this slight change in facial expression and continued to brag about it.

 

 

“Physical fatigue can be recovered with [Heal], and if you are drowsy, you can move using [Awaken]… The work hours end when the magical power is exhausted, but the amount of magical power that can be taken in from the atmosphere and recovered naturally is higher than what is consumed.” (Senri)

 

“……Really?”

 

“I have nothing to hide. This is an innovative idea that I devised! If you want to copy it you can!” (Senri)

 

 

　Senri smirks and puffed her chest proudly.

 

　My head hurts.

 

 

“…By the way, what is the salary system in this dungeon?”

 

“ Salary? You are asking a strange question. We pay everyone the same amount.”

 

 

　She added that they would fight if it was unequal.

 

　In contrast to her eloquent speech, my mood sank heavily.

 

 

“…I heard that the system of ‘over’ is your idea.”

 

“Of course! The monsters who work here have a very high work ethic! They all voluntarily work… overtime!　It’s so wonderful that we’ve created a system called ‘over’ to honor those employee monsters who have a particularly high work ethic!” (Senri)

 

“…Pay overtime the normal way, not like that crap, you stupid raccoon…”

 

“Hmm? Did you say something?” (Senri)

 

 

　Even at this place, she exposes her morbidly dumb ideas.

 

 

　…I am quite worried.

 

　She is level 95, a supernatural being of mythical proportions.

 

　And she and my previous company, the Pillar of the World, had a very specific work style.

 

　And what happens when you add her stupidity to the mix?

 

 

 

“… I’ll tell you one good thing.”

 

“What?” (Senri)

 

“Most (employee) monsters can’t use [Heal] or [Awaken], and moreover, the amount of magic they can absorb from the atmosphere doesn’t exceed the amount of magic they can consume.”

 

“… Fufufu! What kind of joke is that, think about what you’re saying? That’s not true!” (Senri)

 

“…”

 

“Because then you’d really be working without a wink of sleep! That’s impossible! Impossible!” (Senri)

 

“…”

 

“……Huh?” (Senri)

 

“…”

 

“……You must be kidding……?” (Senri)

 

 

　Her face paled.

 

 

　It seems that the stupid middle boss, who has no minimum knowledge as a manager and does not consider the circumstances of workers at all, has finally noticed her mistake after all this time.
