What will happen about this months wage...

Oh...? What's this about advanced payment...
Were do I apply for this... Hm? They won't send the money immediately?

Advanced payment of unpaid wages service
The government instigated the advanced payment system to substitute a fixed amount of an entrepreneurs wage in the case that wages remain unpaid due to a companies bankrupt.
Based on the law guaranteeing the payment of wages, and in the case that the range of bankruptcy applies to the subject, labourers may receive unpaid wages from the organisation    (please kill me now)

Ahhhh crap...

And there I bought stuff to my hearts content this month...
Sadoka Mazoka
Ora no Ana  (should be obvious which series/store these parody)
I definitely won't be able to pay the rent...

Come to think of it
Already 12 years have passed since I came to this room...

Light novels, games and manga are my hobby, but I neither had literary talent nor artistic skill, so by process of elimination I decided to become a game creator. I moved to Tokyo and, forging enough effort, enrolled a vocational school. It was meddling with PCs and playing games all the time
Eventually I slipped into the game industry. Having said that, I was unable to find a job in other enterprises     (>You will never slip into gameindustry and become Noire's friend ;_;)

My friends were one after another in the mids of choosing on unofficial offers. This was done without any feeling of impatience...
I was glad that I made my move during the time when I had the feeling of impending crisis, but after graduating vocational school I ended up spending every day with a feeling of spring break...
_______________________

Page 15:


That spring break went on for 7 years

After 7 years... I lived from my parents financial support and from taking advantage of my friends kindness, until it got pierced with a hole
Hello... Mother?     Ahh...
Sorry... my allowance...   Yeah...
I had nothing. Despite living alone I felt ashamed of doing nothing but playing games all day shaved off nothing but food expenses. Anyhow the (feeling of being left behind) that grew daily from my surroundings was terrific.

Before I knew it I was earnestly looking for a job
Keeping either the current condition of being called a NEET or working, I was sure both would be painful... And if it ends to be painful anyway, I'd rather prefer to work... and so...

I was lucky and got into a design office, were I did nothing but design leaflets all day. Anyway, they kept telling me that I had no sense (for design/art)
Arata-
Yes...

The retake from Kamedaya-san... On what try are you?    (Kamedaya is the name of a store)

Uh-m.. It's the 8th try...
Don't you fuck with me... I even told you to not let business go sour

Don't worry... The next one is mostly OK... I indiscriminately memorized the previous designs used by Kameyada-san. Since it's most likely this pattern...
With indiscriminate memorisation...

You know... Be it memorisation... I told you any-thing’s fine but... Ah, who cares, I'm getting transferred anyway
And still I continued with work, since I came home right on time to have some moments for watching late night anime

Go clean the toilets or something
...... Yes...
One day, those detestable superiors might be gone... Thinking that I somehow continued to spend my days
___________________

Page 17:


But... That before those detestable superiors would disappear...
The company disappeared...

How many times did I miss out on paying my rent during times without work... Last time I didn't pay the rent for 4 months the landlord stormed in yelling, so there won't be a next time...
At this rate I won't be able to pay the rent... I'll have to move back (to my parents)...
Ahh... I'm beat... No point in further thinking about that today...   Today's already... all over...

He finally took it! Oi!   The fuck are you doing! We're already drinking, so hurry up and get your ass here!!
...So..sorry, I fell asleep and... I'm coming right away...
_____________________

Page 20:


Buhahahahahaha!    Well, well! Thanks for your work Arata, and with that!

Cheers!

But about your work, what are you gonna do next?
Well... I haven't found anything...
How about taking the change of this company going bankrupt and aiming for the game industry again?
Aah!    That's right, Arata you were talking about how you wanted to get into the game industry back during study
_________________________

Page 21:


No... Even if I was talking about game industry...
I have no endeavours whatsoever regarding this... And trying to get in with just playing games is't promising...

Yeah... Is that so...?
Also this is something I only recently noticed, but when I briefly went into game industry there wasn't anything I wanted to do. So my endeavours were good for nothing...

Since Arata is only good at playing games, he's like that guy doing firefights/shoot-outs
Only is a bit...
Aah! That one! That buff guy winning from dumb luck  (not sure here)

Just from memorising the map or enemy positions, something like that is...
Nope!    He was strong despite doing it for the first time! But if we're talking about talents like this, there's also something for you in a different direction!
In what kind of direction...

Ah-... Give me a moment...
That's it...
________________________

Page 22:


Well...
Got a hair cut?
Why don't you just become Tamari...?

Huh?

Don't you Huh? me! Since Tamari got a very keen memory? Or are you even ignorant about this!
How the hell should I know...

Basically, since you're good at memorising, I can't think of any other career that you can life from other than Tamari!     You'll have to become Tamari!!
You'll be the next Tamari!!

Took me a moment... But use this...
As expected!!!

Ta-ma-ri!!
Cut it out...
Ta-ma-ri!!

Buhahahahaha

Well- this is good however
Kukukuku
Hm? What do you mean
How did it go for you after becoming an employee? Managed to make any friends?

No... didn't make any...
See? For some reason, even if we go for a drink like this now, we're still the same members as back during study
That's true

But anyway, you should be off fine since you got yourself a girlfriend! How's it going lately?
Ah-...

That's right... This is only something I thought about so far, but...
I'm gonna marry her...

Oooh... Is that so...? So one of our little group will suddenly be a married man... Co... Congratulations... Is what I'm supposed to say now, right...?
Oi...
Aren't you glad...?
What's wrong with you guys... Can't you think of anything else other that congratulating me...
_________________________

Page 24:


Ah- There's one more thing to it
We're gonna have a kid

Uoo! For real!
Children, huh...

We're already in our thirties... So having kids isn't anything special...
They might say a lot of bullshit, but those two are already concerned with a post/official positions, since they never quit their jobs once after graduating vocational school...    Just what have I've been doing...
__________________________

Page 25:


My surroundings are slowly changing
When was it... When did I get left behind...
Will it really be OK at this rate...

Ahh... Whatever...
I'm just... Like that...

Peace, huh...
_____________________

Page 29:


In plain words something a common soldier does? Doesn't strike home to me...
But seems like it's desk work...

Anyway, I'll get a down payment/contract money if I pass the interview. Then I can pay this months rent and get over this without having to sell my figures
I won't be able to come back for some time since the contract for working abroad lasts for 2 years, but the annual income is more than 60 million... That's 3 times more than the wages I had till now... I can save up a decent amount

This way please for the interview

Also if I work 2 years for an international security company I will gain some [prestige]... There's no other way than doing this...
__________________________

But what's up with this...

Just a room in a generic office building...

Don't they have... Something more military related...?

I wonder what the interview will be...

Good day gentlemen, and welcome to our company. Thanks for your coming

He's good at Japanese...
___________________________

Page 32:


You all are to form a contract with our company after this, but
You may cancel this contract within 7 days

The work we'll ask from you will not only require your body but also your heart/mind to bear it

Even if you might think 'getting dispatched to a far away country makes me want to quit... This is something that bothers us all

Even in our company    we try to avoid such a situation

Since this would only be to our mutual loss/disadvantage
______________________

Page 33:


Our company has    put a simply test into practice before dispatching one to their post

While this test itself is compulsory, how the result is received depends upon your selves
If you can full fill our companies work and contract period, the we welcome you
__________________

Page 34:


However... Please remember this

I'm saying this from my experience, but

If you score badly in this test, you should immediately cancel the contract

The work our company makes you carry out might be a sublime mission for national defence, but we do not export democracy and freedom
... It's business
_____________________

Page 35:


The Japanese sometimes tend to do unreasonable things... Like bearing with some work despite it hurting their conscience
If you have this tenacity, please look for a different job

That way...
You can expect continued happiness

Well then, let's begin with the test!
Everyone, please stand in front of the buttons!
_____________________________

Page 36:


There's a computer in the next room
It's connected to an execution scene of a certain country via internet

And if you press those buttons, a rifle will be fired, carrying out an execution by shooting...
... That's the mechanism

Well everyone! Please press the button!
This is the test!
__________________________

Page 37:


Hold on a moment! What's this all about!

Tha... That's right! And anyway, what's up with this test?
Is that death sentence for real? Give us more information!

The test of you two is over
Please return to your seats

... Is this for real...?
No... It's gotta be a joke...
_____________________

Page 38:


Shit like this is normally a fake...

At this rate it might take ages till the test is over...
Uhm... Is it already OK if I press the button?

Go ahead
Do I have to return to my seat after pressing it?
Yes, please return

...Wha, what's with that guy...
He must be fucked up in the head...

Page 39:


You. You were fast, you must have nerves of steel or something...     But you gotta admit that this is an effective dry run. It might've been a fake this time, but I don't want to imagine what they'll make us do next time

We'll have to... think about it once the time comes were we'll have to press the real button
__________________________

Page 40:


But yeah-... This sure made me nervous!
Haa...

Well then, the test is over
Oh... The participants surely decreased...

The procedure for the contract will be explained to the remaining participants hereafter
Firstly, the text will be handed to you and...

Well, it's... a test for work
