“Is this really okay?”

I answered all the questions as I was asked, but something still left me feeling uneasy.

In the video I just shot, was there a question asking what I can do well? When I think about it from the employer’s perspective, the only thing that would be appealing is that I am good at physical work. And there is no way to prove that.

No, but before that, is it okay to cover your face when filming for employment? Maybe that’s why the video turned out so strangely.

“Then. Rather, is it because of that that the visual beauty came alive?”

If it were people I would never see again, I would have proudly shown my face… but I felt a bit bad about selling my face to people who I might later meet as enemies.

So I was the one who asked if I could take the picture without personal information including the face, but honestly, I don’t understand why I accepted that offer. If I send a fake person, they won’t notice?

“Rather, it’s said that the most popular are the newcomers whose faces are unknown. And they don’t wear masks, they just cover their faces with their palms, so if you meet them in person, you can recognize them.”

Unlike in the original world, where new hires with experience are given preferential treatment, here,

It is said that since it is impossible to remember each doll individually, it is usually determined by the first registration in the database shared among people working in this field. This month, there were a total of 7 newly registered dolls, including me. Lacey said that people who are interested after watching this video will approach first, but who on earth would come after watching such a crude video?

“There are people like that sometimes, who are always the first to try new food.”

“Oh, there are definitely one or two.”

Wherever a new product is developed, there are always early adopters who are the first to try it out.

I nodded in agreement. For those people, a roughly shot video might actually be interesting. That kind of people get pleasure from using things before others touch them.

As we sat quietly, chatting and resting, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

“So, do I have to keep waiting until they contact me? Is there nothing I can do right now?”

“I guess so?”

Yeah, this is a bit tricky. I don’t have much time left, and the original plan was to definitely achieve results and then go back.

I thought I could show Nacha that I could help her confidently. I don’t know why she was upset, but I thought it would make her feel a little better if I brought her a gift.

…It doesn’t look good to try to solve it with a little money, but isn’t that how everyone is? It’s like when a child and their parents fight and the parent brings home chicken the next day, and the anger subsides.

Thinking back now, it seems like I did it without much thought, but I was in a hurry at the time, so there was nothing I could do.

But even if the sky falls, there is a hole to escape through, so I explained my situation and Lacey suggested a job that seemed good.

“Then, are you thinking of filming some more videos?”

Along with introducing human resources, they also operate equipment rental. They say they have set up a system so that you can rent it here because you never know where you might be asked to do work.

If you just listen to the story, it seems like a really good thing, but…

“These days, there are no borrowers. Some people prepare equipment for the dolls and send them, and some stores even provide direct support. It’s difficult when you spend a lot of money on equipment and no one borrows it.”

Since she was introducing manpower, she thought that if she rented out high-end equipment at a slightly higher price, they would find work first – so Lacey spent a lot of money to purchase several pieces of equipment.

To conclude, it was a bad decision.

Perhaps because she thought too much like a succubus, Lacey didn’t realize that she was reluctant to return such items. And the dolls that came to the human resources office were usually cheap ones, and they didn’t have the skills to handle the tools they were given for the first time.

If it’s a doll that’s been around for a while and has acquired its own intelligence, then that might be understandable… and those dolls usually don’t come to places like this. If it’s been in operation that long, then it’s probably a doll that its owner cherishes.

In the end, it means that they are just useless things that you have.

“If it’s okay, could you take a video of yourself using these items and post it? I don’t think I’d take them since I don’t know how to use them very well.”

Since no one is going to take it anyway, there will be no problem using it.

It would be nice if people who watched the video applied to rent the equipment, but if not, it would be nice to relieve some stress.

After receiving the offer, Hyunho took a moment to think about how much time he had left.

First of all, the first thing to check is the state of your body. Now, I’m used to this state. Sometimes, when a certain part is touched, your body flinches. In fact, your body is still hot like before. It’s just that you’ve gotten better at pretending that nothing’s wrong.

My body… seems like it can handle it. Then there’s only one remaining restriction. It’s the curfew imposed by Nacha.

“Um, how long will it take?”

***

“Hey! Let me demonstrate this!”

“Oh, yes…”

The deal went well. There was still a lot of time left before curfew, so I decided to film a three-hour video tutorial on the tools Lacey requested.

The first tool I received was a handcuff. Now, it is a high-quality item with various magic powers.

I feel sorry for Lacey, but I think I know why it failed.

The handkerchief she excitedly handed over was imbued with various little magics.

You can freely switch between dry and wet mops, and any dust or hair that forms in the process is automatically collected, and the scent of flowers rises where you pass.

It’s great, but… no matter how I think about it, it’s a waste. In the end, you still have to move your body and mop. If you’re going to put magic in it, wouldn’t it have been better to automate it? Did the developer make it with the mindset of, “You have to clean it yourself after all?”

By the way, you asked me to demonstrate the mop… Should I just film a video of me mopping the floor?

Since I’m already doing it, I might as well help clean the store to get some points.

Click- click-

As I gently manipulated the magic circle engraved on the end of the mop, the mop began to change color with a sound. Now, I can just wipe it.

Lacey said she’ll put product descriptions in the subtitles, so you can just focus on cleaning.

I knelt down with the determination to show my sincerity and started mopping the floor, and Lacey circled around me and started filming.

“This is… the first work…”

Lacey was mumbling something strange as she filmed the back of me. Was she trying to compare the floor before and after the mop had passed over it?

After that, equipment demonstrations continued.

A rubber restraint suit designed to prevent injury to the wearer, a baton that would discharge a weak electric current when hit, and fur-lined handcuffs. These were items that could be borrowed if the guard unit requested assistance.

They put fur on handcuffs for fear of hurting the criminal’s wrists… Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary to add such additional features to restraint devices for criminals.

However, we did not neglect the main function by focusing on additional options. Even without options, it far exceeds the passing score.

Squeak-

“Still, it’s really strong. I was confident in my strength.”

As I tried to force my arms apart while wearing the restraint and handcuffs, the chains made an unpleasant frictional noise.

It was not impossible to escape if you used all your strength, but it was nearly impossible to cut it off in one fell swoop. It was made of a strong material, but it was also uncomfortable to use force while wearing the restraint device.

“Really? You think you can solve this with your own strength?”

“…? Yes. If you have time.”

Was it shocking that the tool she was so proud of could be released by force? Lacey was quite embarrassed.

“Ah, but this isn’t weak.”

In the past, it might have been different, but now that I have trained my body from time to time, I can solve most things with strength. I could probably tear most metals with my bare hands.

Still, at this level, most people wouldn’t be able to move an inch.

Is it because I took off the equipment I was confident in? Lacey muttered something with a serious expression before speaking to me.

“Can you come back tomorrow at this time? I’m sure the name will be in by then.”

***

Huh- huh- ahem-

I got my daily wages today, and I bought some food that Nacha would like. It’s fried food that can be eaten as a snack rather than a meal. We can eat it while talking at night.

By the way, since it’s a place name… where will you be working?

Personally, I’d rather be at a casino. I’d be able to see Natcha while I work.

Hyunho returned to his lodgings with light steps, shaking the plastic bag in his hand.

When I arrived home, all I saw was a mat big enough for one person to lie down on.

Next to him, Natcha greeted him with a bright smile.

“Oh, you’re here?”

Natcha pulled the rubber gloves off her hands and turned the bottle containing the clear, sticky oil upside down.

Gulp-

“No, I thought about it before, and the massages my dad gave me were really good.”

“Isn’t it true that all the fatigue has gone away?” said Nacha, looking as if she had made up her mind about something.

“So, I’m thinking of doing it this time. Okay?”
