01: Cold Calling Ignition <Igniting New Frontiers>

I was inside a soundproof barrier (phone booth).

I was gripping my communication magic tool (mobile phone) tightly.

Silence...!!

To realize the 'Path to Survival Construction (Job Placement Proposal)' I built with Mr. Hirano and the others, I began approaching small guilds (small and medium-sized enterprises).

The target was Tanaka Industries.

They are a guild (company) that keeps posting job openings for experienced magic alchemy (drafting) practitioners on the information scroll (job magazine).

The ringing sound echoed.

Due to extreme nervousness, I resorted to a painful routine of trying to turn failure into a joke.

In my nervousness, I held my own leather shoe to my ear instead of the communication magic tool (mobile phone) and shouted 'Hello!'.

Mud from the sole stuck to my face.

To cover up the stares of those around me, I tried to get a laugh by saying 'This is communication with the spirits of the earth!', but it fell completely flat.

The magical power (cold sweat) erupting from my shame wouldn't stop.

'Hey, old man!'

'Holding a leather shoe to your ear and getting your face covered in mud is just bizarre behavior, woof!'

'You're failing on your own, spraying cold sweat everywhere, and making the atmosphere rot, woof!'

The cold, sharp tongue of the magic dog Tsun gouges my heart!

Critical hit...!

I wiped the mud from my face and strongly chanted the first physical blade (self-axis) in my heart!

“Activate...!”

Cold Calling Ignition <Ignition of New Development (Start of Remote Casting)>!!

“Is this Tanaka Industries?”


“I saw your information scroll (job magazine).”

“I am a mage (instructor) at a magic guidance school (vocational school).”

“You can call me the Other-Dimensional Uncle.”

I spun the words with passion.

“I am interested in your company's job posting and would like to speak with the hiring manager.”

After the hold music.

A low voice echoed.

“This is Tanaka, the Guild Master (President).”

“What is your business?”

I was lucky enough to get through to the top.

This is where the real battle begins.

02: Solution Proposal Spell <Formula for Presenting Solutions>

I choose my words carefully.

"Actually, we are a guild (school) that teaches magical alchemy (drafting)."

"I would like to ask whether your company's job opening is suitable for our followers (students)."

"I would like to inquire about it."

The guild master also spoke without hiding the current situation.

"It is true that we have placed advertisements in the information scrolls (job magazines)."

"However, those are job openings for those with practical experience."

Amidst the labor shortage in the world, I pose a hypothesis to the guild master (president).

"Have you not been posting job openings that date back to the past?"

The guild master also answers in a tone of resignation.

"That's right."

"We're in trouble because we can't gather experienced people."

I also sympathize while drawing out the details.

"Why are you only recruiting experienced people?"

A sense of impatience mingles in Tanaka's voice.

'It's because we don't have the capacity to train anyone.'

'Small guilds (small and medium-sized enterprises) like ours are already at our limit.'

Terrifying………………………………!!

They demand immediate assets, yet have absolutely no capacity to nurture them.

I begin to ask, unraveling the situation one piece at a time.

'What kind of skills would a person need to have for you to consider them capable of resolving your labor shortage?'

'If they have knowledge of architecture and can draw up blueprints without needing to be explained from scratch, that would be fine.'

'Is there any knowledge specific only to your company?'

'We do a lot of contract work for a certain company, so that specialized knowledge is necessary.'

Every piece clicked into place in my mind.

I loudly chanted the second physical blade (my own axis) within my heart!

'Come forth...!'

Solution Proposal Spell (Proposal for Free Education and Outsourcing)!!

'President............'

'If you could teach that knowledge to our followers (students) for free, would you use it?'

'Huh?'

'You would no longer need to pay for information scrolls (job magazines).'

Tanaka snorted.

'If only such a good deal existed, right?'

'If our veteran mages (instructors) visit and provide advice, we will reflect it in the training path (curriculum).'

I pressed on.

Overwhelming……………………………!!

'The president can grasp the state of the followers (students) through our soul clinical records (charts).'

'You can also prevent mismatches in the judgment room (job interviews).'

'If outsourced, the magic guidance school (vocational school) will take responsibility for the final confirmation and delivery.'

'If such a system existed, wouldn't you want to try it?'

A deep silence fell on the other side of the communication magic tool (mobile phone).

03: Prep-Pressure Closing Tactics <The Final Tactics of Heavy Pressure>

Tanaka's silence.

It is proof that the Paradox Desire (Scales of Contradiction) is shaking violently.

I must not miss this opening.

I strongly chanted the third physical blade (self-axis) in my heart!

Activate...!

Pressure Closing Tactics (Visualization of Costs and Forced Decision) !!

Then, I hit the guild master with a core question.

President...

This job posting...

How many months has it been up?

Sighing, the guild master also answers.

...Six months, I suppose.

I also ask, feeling a bit sympathetic.

How much is it per month?

They replied in a small, dejected voice to my sharp, finishing-blow remark.

'About 30 gold coins (300,000 yen)'

I hit them straight on with the blood of my soul (my true feelings).

Shocking…………………………………!!

'The probability of an excellent, experienced person being interested in a small guild (small-to-medium enterprise) like yours is extremely low.'

'At our school, we have students who, even without practical experience, have the drive and whose character we already know.'

'There is a proposal where the Magic Guidance School (vocational school) takes responsibility for the delivery.'

'If it takes six months, isn't that the same as already throwing 180 gold coins (1.8 million yen) down the drain?'

Diabolical……………………………!!

'If you have the courage as a president, you can move forward without spending money.'

'Why don't we move forward together?'

'...I understand. Could you give me some time?'

'I apologize for the sudden contact.'

I understand the situation.

I intentionally pull back coldly.

I will convey this matter to other guilds (companies) as well.

Please understand that due to limited numbers, we may have to decline if our schedules overlap.

With that, I quietly set down the communication magic tool (mobile phone).

Strategic………………………!!

There are countless small guilds (small and medium-sized enterprises) suffering in the same situation.

If they hesitate, they will only continue to pay money for information scrolls (job magazines).

I make the invisible gravity (pressure) clear and urge them to make a decision.

Tanaka has already made up his mind.

He will definitely give me an answer by tomorrow.

That day, I performed the same remote casting (telemarketing) to about 20 companies.

I realized that a clear need exists in the reality of the demon realm (the entire business society) suffering from labor shortages and low order unit prices.

Through this research, I was able to gain complete conviction.

04: Absolute Territory Invasion

I compiled the research results and the full scope of the business model into a report.

It was a powerful magic design document (proposal) that poked holes in the organization's contradictions.

With the magic design document in hand, I headed to the office (executive room) where the Great Witch (site manager) was waiting.

I opened the heavy door and stood before her desk.

Exhilarating……………………………!!

Around her, a cold, tense Absolute Territory (absolute inviolable domain) was formed.

However, perhaps as a result of having sipped muddy water together every day, my resistance had increased.

I strongly chanted the fourth physical blade (my own axis) in my heart!

“Activate……!”

Absolute Territory Invasion (Direct Appeal to the Great Witch) !!

Governor of All Domains (General Manager)

May I have a moment?

I looked straight into her eyes and said.

I would like to speak with you in the Tactical Council Chamber (Reception Room).

The Great Witch (On-site Manager) took her hands off the Magic Keyboard and cast an icy gaze at me.

...Understood.

I can give you ten minutes.

I silently pointed toward the Reception Room.

This is madness..........................!!

The two entered the Reception Room and sat down deeply.

A suffocating silence fell over the closed room.

A life-or-death showdown against the Great Witch (On-site Manager), staking the future of the East Capital School and my own survival strategy, begins.

Now, to the next floor.

[Next Episode Preview: Dungeon Floor 54]

A tense, high-stakes showdown unfolds with the Great Witch in a private reception room!

Will the magic design document I presented be able to shatter her blades of ice!?

As logic and emotion clash violently, what are the unexpected words the Great Witch utters!

And the fateful reply arriving from Tanaka's guild will overturn the entire battle situation!

Time that had stopped begins to move again in a turbulent, rapid development!

In this desperate, crappy game, an old man's gritty counterattack reaches its critical point!

The next death match begins now! Don't miss the next floor!

Thank you for staying with me until the end.
