Chapter 142 – Ep.142 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
【Haha, no matter how much Confucianism is thrown away, that’s true. You’re pointing a finger at your father-in-law a little too much. Granddaughter-in-law.】
“… Yes?”
It looks like he was really tired after squeezing so hard on the way there.
Just like a little while ago, I keep hearing nonsense mixed in.
I guess I’ll have to do the cleaning tomorrow and go to bed early.
【I felt it since the interview, but what you are thinking is clearly revealed on your face. Well, I like simple friends like you more than people who only act like snakes, but if I do that, I’ll end up being captured by women later. Granddaughter-in-law.】
“… “Dice?”
[If you want, you can make that simple head into a dice. Speaking of which, should I make it like that now?】
“No. Father-in-law. I was so tired that for a moment nonsense came out of my mouth. Haha.”
The person who was my predecessor on the screen was clearly smiling and speaking, but for some reason, goosebumps appeared on my back.
I can assure you that he wasn’t joking when he said he would turn my head into a dice, but was definitely serious.
I suppressed my smile and let out a long sigh.
“That… First of all, what should I call you?”
【Call me father-in-law.】
“… “Really?”
【Then. Do you think I’m taking time out of my busy schedule to joke around with you?】
Haha. Is that possible? I was just asking whether it was really okay for a poor person like me to call me that. Father-in-law.”
【Haha, enough nonsense. As I just said, I’m busy, and all the costs incurred in connecting with you like this will be deducted from next month’s salary, so let’s get it over with as quickly as possible.】
“I will just shut up and listen. Father-in-law.”
There were more than one or two questions I wanted to ask, but my intuition told me that right now I should just keep quiet and listen to what the other person said, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.
【Good posture. First of all, congratulations on officially becoming an employee. To be honest, compared to other guys, it’s a bit of a problem that it took 4 years to become an assistant manager even though the environment is really heavenly, but congratulations anyway.】
“Thank you.”
【Well, as someone who has been promoted from intern to employee and then to assistant manager again, you might be wondering why I contacted you only now, but in our company, it is very rare for a predecessor to contact his or her successor. Of course, handing over is not mandatory and there is no need to do it.】
“…”
【At first, there was a time when I looked like you and swore loudly.】
The person who called himself my predecessor and father-in-law smiled slightly.
【Don’t misunderstand. There is no need for the predecessors to hand over the work because the worlds where the successors are dispatched are all different and there is nothing to tell them. However, it would be too much of a loss to contact them to give them tips on support skills that even have instructions on how to use them.】
“That means… ?”
【Okay. The world you fell into is a place I was once dispatched to. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I faithfully completed all the requests given by the local gods, and all the noblemen there were satisfied.】
“Then… “Why did I come?”
According to what the person who calls himself my predecessor and father-in-law said, it is normal for me to never be dispatched to this world again.
In response to my question, the person who called himself my predecessor and father-in-law smiled bitterly and continued.
【To explain that, I need to explain what I had to do to build up my performance when I was a dispatched employee. But let me tell you from the beginning, I’m worried about my salary next month.】
“… “You mean to tell me?”
The person who called himself a craftsman nodded.
【First of all, to get to the point, you were sent because of my daughters and granddaughters who were left behind there.】
“I don’t know any more… ?”
[When I was dispatched, the environment was completely opposite to yours. No, it was worse than that. Women were tools to discharge men’s sexual desires or to conceive heirs. Regardless of whether it is a human, a monster, or this species, everything.】
For a moment, I wondered if the man in front of me was making a joke to make fun of me. I was suspicious.
The difference between the two was so extreme.
【As time goes by, you will naturally realize that what I say is true, so I won’t need to explain it further. Anyway, through my ability to create relics and through interactions with other dispatched employees, I armed my women and helped them become stronger.】
[It took enormous effort and time, but in the end we founded a country. After that, I spent my time taking care of my beautiful wife and newborn daughters, crossing our territory periodically to prevent those around us from messing with us.】
He closed his eyes for a moment, perhaps recalling a memory from that time, and the corners of his mouth turned up very gently, unlike the smiles he had shown before.
【What… After about 20 years, my daughters were all grown up and I thought it would be okay to return to Earth, so I used illusion magic to show myself growing older as if I were growing older with my wife, and then I passed everything on to her and returned to Earth.】
“Wouldn’t it have been okay to bring your daughters too?”
【I wanted to do that too. The clients didn’t give permission. It seemed that if I took my daughters with me, the country would quickly collapse and women would once again be reduced to men’s playthings like before.】
“… Okay.”
【But neither I nor those gentlemen would have thought that their choice at that time would create another problem. Haha.】
Now that I think about it, I heard that the reason I was sent here was because of that nobleman’s daughters and granddaughter.
【When the contract ended, all connections there were cut off. So, when I spent a few years thinking that I would just live a good life, I received another request from the noblemen there.】
“How many years has it been since you started having problems?”
[The time axis there and Earth are different. Roughly speaking, one year on Earth is equivalent to 100 years there? Probably so. I think we can find out the exact figure after receiving next month’s salary.】
“Crazy…”
【What. That’s important to me because I’m going to get ripped off next month, and that’s the point. After we left, the eldest daughter, who inherited the throne, poked around at the surrounding countries little by little, and within ten years, she unified the continent and promoted it to an empire. Haha, isn’t it amazing whose daughter it is?】
“… Yeah, that’s right. That’s really amazing…”
【Yes? But here, the importance of early education was revealed. It seems that the wives had so many feelings built up for the man there that they instilled those feelings in their daughters as well, capturing all the men and turning them into slaves. What… For myself, I don’t have much sympathy because I saw something there and think it’s a good thing for self-employment.】
He scratched his cheek, then smiled and continued.
【As this continued for about 10, 50, and 100 years, the number of men began to decrease rapidly, and from then on, internal strife began to arise little by little over the ownership of men, and after 50 more years had passed, the empire that was once divided and split apart.】
He shook his head, saying to himself, ‘Anyway, I look like my wife, so I don’t know that I’m in the middle.’
【Anyway, as those who left the empire became independent, the treatment of men gradually began to improve… As more time passed, the environment you find yourself in now came to be.】
“… It’s amazing. Really.”
【I was very confused when I first heard it too. Unlike me, my wife kept giggling and laughing at what was so funny.】
I somehow felt pity for him as he smiled bitterly.
【There is no need to look at it that way. If I look at your face, you will look just like me.】
“What kind of evil talk…”
I already have four lovers, but unlike others, I am not obsessed with them at all. It will continue to be so.
A man has pride.
However, he looked at me through the screen and smiled again.
【That’s something we can wait to see later. I’m sure you’ve heard the story roughly and have gotten an idea, but I’ll tell you clearly. What you’ll do there is honestly quite simple. Sleep with women of as many races as possible and get them pregnant.】
He looked at me with an expression that said, ‘Well, it’s very simple.’
“I don’t know about sex, but pregnancy is a bit…”
【Looking at that, I understand why it took four years to become an assistant manager in such an environment flowing with milk and honey. If other dispatched employees see you making fun of you, they’ll go on a rampage and say they’ll tear off your arms and legs, so don’t make fun of them.】
“…”
【It looks like you’re thinking of making excuses by talking about responsibility, but get rid of it. If it weren’t for my granddaughter-in-law, I would want to break one of his balls right now.】
“Hmm… !!”
It was a threat that put a strain on my sphincter.
【I don’t know why a guy in his mid-twenties thinks so weakly. There must be a good job. You can take responsibility if you make someone pregnant, but you’re trying to backtrack by making some kind of bullshit excuse?】
“It’s a bit… Difficult to call it a prosperous job.” .”
【Are you talking back to an adult?】
“…”
【It would be best if you don’t fool around and follow what I say. Unlike you, who don’t age, the kids there are getting older. If you want to watch the child you gave your heart to grow old and leave your side, I won’t force you anymore.】
As soon as I heard that, I swallowed dry saliva.
I’m not sure about the lifespan of this species… Kernax is human.
A human being who cannot escape the passage of time.
Kernax will grow old and eventually leave me.
Not only that, Shiron, Giena, and Ardella will all leave my side someday as time passes.
When I thought about that, my heart started beating like crazy.
“… “Is there a way?”
He nodded to my question.
【You must have thought about it as you arrived. This company is such a shitty place. But it’s not wrong. I understand too. Who would look favorably on a contract that is almost fraudulent, being thrown out into this world without any explanation, and not even being able to access the system if you do not find and achieve the conditions for promotion from intern to employee on your own?】
“…”
It was a very relatable statement, but I didn’t respond and just kept my mouth shut.
This was a guided interrogation, and I thought that if I nodded my head for no reason, I might be branded as ‘a bastard who is dissatisfied with this company.’
Whether he knew what I was thinking or not, he continued talking.
【But it will be different from now on. From now on, you will be able to feel for yourself that the treatment changes noticeably as you move up. And I’m only telling this to you, but in fact, interns and rank-and-file employees are at the stage where the minimum will and ability is confirmed, and assistant managers are at the stage where they begin to be treated and evaluated as formal employees.】
“… “So now I’m getting a salary or something?”
【You’ve just hired an agent and you’re talking about salary. If you want to get paid, build up your performance now and think about it after you return to headquarters.】
“… Yes.”
【Shit. Perhaps because it was my granddaughter-in-law, I ended up talking too much without realizing it. Anyway, if you build up your performance and reach a position where you can return to headquarters, you will no longer have to experience loneliness.】
“Me too… Will I be able to go to Earth with my lovers like my father-in-law?”
【Okay. That’s why I’m intentionally cutting my next paycheck and telling you this. My wife hates Western guys, but they look pretty good on guys with dark hair like you and me. Maybe that’s why she seemed to have really wanted to see the faces of you and her granddaughters, who are planning to become her granddaughter’s son-in-law, so she gave you so much notice that she told you to give them a tip…】
I asked him carefully as he sighed deeply.
“… I’m just asking just in case. “No matter how many women there are here, isn’t it possible that you won’t end up with her granddaughters?”
He chuckled and shook his head at my question.
【There is no need to worry about that. In order to achieve good results, you have to be with the strongest child, and being strong means having a child who inherits the blood of me and my wife. And did I call you my granddaughter-in-law for no reason? I took out your performance report and read it, and I saw that you already had one granddaughter.】
“Cold, cold… !!”
I started coughing without realizing it.
I thought it was a half-joke, but really, the predecessor in front of me was my father-in-law?
I asked, briefly tapping my chest.
“If… Can you guess who it is? No, how can you be so sure… ?”
【Well, it’s a company run by God, so how difficult would it be to check that much?】
“… After listening to it, it seems like that again.”
I can’t believe you’re using the Gabulgi that makes everything seem understandable.
【And my granddaughter is the one who helped you become a regular employee. His name was Shiron.】
Oh my god.
Siron is the granddaughter of my predecessor.
The predecessor in front of me is really my father-in-law.
Oh my god.
【We’ve been talking for 20 minutes already. You.】
After being dazed for a moment, I quickly answered my father-in-law’s call.
“Yep. Father-in-law.”
【I don’t know what my granddaughter’s personality will be like, but if my wife’s genes hadn’t gone somewhere, she would have a very fiery personality and strong pride.】
“Exactly.”
【At least, it’s my first time with you, so I’m going to have to put a lot of pressure on my shoulders, but when I look at the performance table, I see that I already have one more child who is stronger than my granddaughter.】
“Uh, um… Yes. That’s right.”
【It may be because my granddaughter is young, but in order for the blood shark family to grow properly, it is necessary to suck blood.】
“… Like a vampire?”
【Yes. Therefore. If you want to cheer up her granddaughter, let her suck your blood later. Then she will grow noticeably.】
“… All right.”
If Siron can become stronger, what’s the big deal about speeding up the blood?
【Huh, I’m starting to worry about next month’s living expenses. Let’s just ask one last question and let’s call it a day.】
Fortunately, there was something I wanted to ask from the beginning, so I asked the question right away without hesitation.
“Is the process of building my performance directly connected to the resolution of the request?”
My father-in-law smiled faintly and said.
【The only gods who can interfere with the children who inherit your blood are those who have signed a contract with our company. So, among your children, there will be no one who sucks the life out of men or shy away from women more than necessary.】
“Okay.”
This was a question I had while listening to my father-in-law, and it seems that the people above me intervened in why women of different races absorbed the vitality of men.
【Let’s end the conversation here. And don’t mention what happened today to the other dispatchers. It doesn’t matter to me, but there may be some people out there who are upset.】
“I will keep my mouth shut.”
【Okay. Take care of yourself. Oh, and by the way. You may not know this, but if you want to get our daughters pregnant, you will need to train not only your stamina but also your sperm.】
“Affection… “No, your daughters are still alive?”
【There are quite a few longevity women among my wives. Even if we can’t do it, the seven will still be alive and well.】
“Oh my god…”
It’s just amazing.
【Shit. It’s already been 30 minutes. Anyway, family on Earth, don’t worry. Because I figured it out and talked about it well. It didn’t seem like he had much interest in you to begin with.】
“… “I roughly expected that to happen.”
【Well, my son, who is almost 30, got a job at an adult products company, so it had to be that way.】
“… Father-in-law? For sure… Well said…”
【I gave you all the advice I needed, so the rest is up to you.】
“Father-in-law?”
【I will wait for you to return to headquarters with our granddaughter and daughters as soon as possible. Well then, don’t be lazy and work hard. Then-】
Before I could open my mouth again, the window that projected my father-in-law disappeared.
You said you spoke well…
While I was worrying about something in the very distant future, someone I didn’t want to hear at all offered words of comfort.
【Employee Seo Min-su. There is no such thing as a noble profession. I’m sure employee Seo Min-su’s parents are also glad that their idiot-like son got a job.】
“… Okay. Thank you so much…”
