[It is said that if you are not crazy, you are not crazy. Isn’t that the right word for today’s world?]
“… Suddenly?”
[I just used a lion idiom once. Isn’t it kakkoi (cool)? Do you look a bit intelligent?]
The dragon boss who suddenly raises his nose and takes a fatal pose.
As I stare intently, I turn my head, coughing to see if there is still a bit of embarrassment.
Kids these days complain that they’re too cold and they don’t accept jokes, and then they keep talking.
[Let’s get to the point if we want. Where should I start, yes.
You may have noticed to some extent… I’ve been testing you.]
I nodded.
was guessing
The last Luddite case was a terrorism and an accident, so even if it’s out of the question, in the case of the fact-finding detective and Man Hunter before that, it felt quite intentional.
‘When these incidents happen, we’ll see how we deal with them.’ There was an atmosphere that said
Of course, that’s not to say that the events themselves were the Dragon’s intentions.
That’s ridiculous.
But the truth is, when the detective insisted on unreasonable demands, when the manhunter started an argument—the bartenders and the boss came forward and there was a moment when he could break the rudeness in the grass, but he didn’t move.
He watched my actions until the end, pretending not to be in the boss room, and came out to help only at the moment when it was really dangerous.
They were completely intentional.
I was going through some sort of declaration or test.
[There was also an intention to check the things you were hiding, and I also thought it would be good to give you a chance to solve it yourself and have an influence… .]
Last Sunday’s work was, to some extent, an extension of that.
Dragon’s absence.
It was too late to get help and information from the Red Mafia executives, but it was also half an excuse.
If he really made up his mind, it would have been possible to have a neat negotiation with Bratva within the set time and return to the bar before business hours.
But the reason I didn’t… .
[Because I was wondering how you acted when I wasn’t there.]
The fact that I deeply realized that day, Sasha Dragon’s role in the bar Dragon’s Rare is very large.
This is especially true when events like these happen and shadowy Ronins and bounty hunters flock to the area.
The fact that the president, who had a legendary reputation in the industry, is absent is enough to drive customers crazy all at once.
The Dragon boss must have been trying to make sure I could keep my composure and get the job done in such an extreme situation.
[Now that I’m talking about it, it was greed. It was my mistake.]
Not surprisingly, the test for new managers turned into a terrorist gang defense in the blink of an eye.
Customers are killed, the bar is harpooned, and the new manager is alive after fighting with a psycho gang boss.
He just thought it was his mistake.
But, of course, the Dragon President probably did not intend this result.
Not only that, no one would have even guessed that something like this would happen.
Just when the Dragon boss is away, the Luddite gang come to the bar, and even the daughter of the nobleman Schneider enters the outskirts of the pub.
Then the two sides quarrel and that leads to Luddite’s terrorism.
It was an amazing coincidence, and it was unreasonable to downplay this purely because of Dragon President’s complacency.
It was a bad time, but the boss can’t always keep the bar.
Wouldn’t it be nice to hire employees to take over the role when the boss is away?
[Even so, I feel guilty. I wonder if it would have been different if I had been there.
Knowing that it is a city where anything can happen, and that it is an area like that, I wonder if I left my seat too easily even though I knew that the atmosphere these days was unusual.]
It was the heavy voice of the Dragon President, which is not often heard.
I opened my mouth to ventilate the atmosphere.
“It’s a bit surprising.”
[Naniga (what)?]
“Because the boss said that. He was always bright, and no matter what happened, he had an image of not regretting his choice and pushing forward until the end.”
[In a word, is it Mudepo? I guess I usually look like that.]
“No, it’s not like that… You didn’t say anything like that at the dinner party earlier.”
At my explanation, the dragon president nodded.
[As usual, we were all together at the dinner party. It’s also a kind of public place… You have to show a positive side. When a leader shows an uneasy appearance, his subordinates are bound to shake with him. Even if you are not sure, you have to pretend that you are.]
“Five… .”
I knew that President Dragon wasn’t a lighthearted person from the outside, but I didn’t expect to hear stories about leadership and management philosophy like this here.
Seeing my surprise, he returned to his usual confident face.
[How about this, does it look a bit kakkoi (cool)?]
“Every time you feel shy, you move on like that. Slowly, the repertoire is a bit obvious.”
[greatness… Anyway, it’s a private place right now, so I’m telling you this. I’m human too. I have no choice but to regret it.]
Even if the boss of a dragon who looks like a superman, even if he is a superman on the outside, he is the same person as me on the inside.
Not only that, but all the members of Dragon’s Rare were like that.
[I should have stopped when I was in Man Hunter, but because you keep showing more than I expected, my greed grew. curiosity too.
What to do next? How far can you go? Can you figure out the secret of the unusually excellent movement that is shown by that slender body?

Maybe because I was there, I didn’t believe in me and use my full power? What would you look like without me? I had such thoughts.]
“Wow, you are speaking like a pervert with severe paralysis.”
At my words, Dragon boss scratched his head.
[I know. It was an absurd idea, and it was a hoax. No matter how difficult the job may be, this is just a pub. Reporting too much was too much.
Later, I woke up At first, I thought all I needed was a can, but if I work hard with my guts, I will try to solve other problems… Somehow, I ended up leaving the other serious issues to you.]
He shook his head and continued speaking.
[But, ironically, the funny thing is that you took care of even that serious problem. That you did something that even bartenders couldn’t do.
That’s why it’s absurd to say that you were scared. After doing all those nonsense things, you felt that you were humble.]
“… … .”
When I was thinking about what to answer. Dragon president bowed his head at first.
[Anyway, the words leaked in a slightly different way… I said that we should talk to each other to apologize. To test you and apologize for putting you in great danger. Gomenne (sorry). I mean it sincerely.]
I was perplexed.
No, what an apology.
The neoclassical test was a bit excessive, but in the end I was not seriously injured, and above all, the Ned Rudd incident was something that Dragon President couldn’t do. It was kind of like a natural disaster.
If I apologize in such a heavy atmosphere with that, only I will feel uncomfortable—.
[Ah, Mochiron (of course), I don’t mean to just say it.]
With those words, Dragon’s boss snapped his finger, and the lights flashed on the Cyber Watch.
[Check it out.]
The dragon boss smiled and beckons. As I said, when I checked the watch display, a startling notification popped up.
“Downloading transfer amount… Sender Name: Sasha Dragon”
When I looked up, there was Sasha Dragon with a flying dollar emoji (🤑) floating on her helmet.
“Me, boss? My heart is grateful, but you really don’t have to. I’m fine-“
[Then just accept it with a grateful heart. It’s not weird, it’s a bonus. What did I say on the first day? If you work hard, I will give you a bonus. I think it’s a reward for the hard work you’ve shown.]
“Yeah, anyway.”
[Write. Please check the amount first.]
In the words of the Dragon president, ‘Oh, I can’t… .’ Still, my head turned around.
And the pupil quickly scans the number floating on the screen.
「Transfer amount: 100,000$」
“Are you sure you want to?”
So.
0 is one, two, three, four, five.
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand.
Hundred thousand. One hundred thousand city dollars.

More than three times my monthly salary.
A huge sum of money that could only be expected when the manhunter’s arm obtained as a loot was sold at a high price at an auction.
It may be a small amount to the presidents of large corporations or the rich, but to me, it was a huge amount of money.
The dragon boss is now trying to transfer the money to me. as a bonus.
But no amount of money can buy my beliefs!
I screamed with my eyes closed.
“No, I can’t even get a lot of money like this. Who gets this much as a bonus? That’s too much. I can’t get this!”
[…] The movement of his hands is a bit strange for that.]
Oops. When I woke up, my fingers were wiggling and moving towards the OK button on their own.
I usually listen well, but why are you doing this?
Ignoring the master’s will, I shouted, forcibly grabbing my left hand with my right hand, which moved arbitrarily.
“It’s about the mood. I don’t fall for the temptation of money so easily. You got it wrong!”
[Are you sure?]
I looked down again at Dragon President’s meaningful question.
“… That was too much money to say?!”
Suddenly, the right and left hands were gently pressing the approval button together.
A cheerful notification pops up.
「The transfer amount has been downloaded.」
Even your left hand… I believed in you!
Seeing my frustration, the dragon boss walked away again.
[The corners of his lips seem to be smiling.]
“… Oh no.”
Somehow, he calmed the capitalist monster inside, and lowered the corners of his lips that were about to dance in excitement.
The president of Dragon spits out as I try to think of sad thoughts instead of my thick net account.
[Just leave it. I think it’s the price you paid for the trust you showed.]
“Trust?”
Are you talking about that luddite thing again this time?
It was something to be rewarded for.
A manager who fights to defend the bar without running away from the terrorist gang.
Thinking back on it, I think I did something worthy of such a huge amount of money.
What is certain is that President Dragon was very impressed with my performance at that time.
But I think it’s a little strange to call it trust.
As I tilted my head, Dragon President added.
[Truth or Dare.]
Aha.
Last round, I was talking about the secrets I had revealed.
Obviously, these were stories that couldn’t be done without trust.
