An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"That's an example of 'the more you argue, the better your relationship becomes, right?"

"It's written as 'sand friend', but it's actually read as 'close friend'!"

“Is that so?”

"Well, honestly, it's rare for a big brother to show his emotions like that."

After Yunfa finished speaking, Colleen and Ruth looked at each other with indescribable expressions.

Beside them, Michaela collapsed to the ground on all fours.

“Disgusting… My inherent magic is disgusting…”

Bandu must have said that deliberately because the other person was Oscar──XiuXiu made an amends with a dumbfounded expression.

"Yes, that's right. Normally, Mr. Ban wouldn't say anything disparaging. But whenever he's with the leader and the others, he seems to become more aggressive...especially with Mr. Oscar."

Margaret continued, looking troubled. While she was happy that Bandu had found someone she didn't need to worry about, she found it annoying that every time they argued, they would just throw random bullets everywhere... That was her expression right now.

"That's right, Mikaela. Even if he doesn't rely on you, he doesn't shy away from you either."

"Mr. Marshall..."

"Besides, you weren't peeping, were you? So you can just be fair and square—"

For some reason, Michaela seemed flustered. Or rather, shaken.

"M-Micaela? You're not..."

"No, no! It was an accident! It was just an accident! I didn't think it was sexy after seeing Mr. Marshall in the shower!"

Everyone was embarrassed and seemed to start distancing themselves from Michaela.

Mikaela made a "Oh no!" expression and tried to defend herself desperately, but then she heard the sound of flapping wings.

"Ah, Cream."

At Colleen's voice, everyone's attention turned to the falling cream. It seemed Tim had delivered the message.

Meredith let the cream rest on her head and opened the letter. Then, after she muttered, "Huh? From Bart?", the room erupted in a commotion.

This was the news from the deputy leader who had given up on himself and disappeared without a trace.

What exactly was the content? Under everyone's gaze, Meredith's expression suddenly changed.

A terrifying light flashed in the depths of her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said directly:

"The Church... has declared war on the Hartrina Republic."

The atmosphere was filled with tension, like the tautness of a guitar string. Meredith clutched the letter tightly and raised her head.

"The Bart is there, and he's calling for help."

Meredith looked around at her companions and received heavy approval from everyone who held a sense of awareness.

Even if we don't say it out loud, our hearts are united.

"Let's go to the Sea of ​​White Trees."

Everyone seemed to hear it.

Like the sound of friction, the world is undergoing violent changes.

Prequel Zero 3 Epilogue

Thank you very much for picking up "No Ordinary Job Gaiden: Zero Episode 3".

I'm Shiraki Ryo, the original author and a fan of chuunibyou.

It's a bit abrupt to bring this up, but if there's one thing that's particularly troublesome about Zero's story, it's the inflation of power. Meredith is too strong, Oscar is too convenient, and as the Age of Gods magicians' companions increase, the number of things they can't do decreases.

How strong would the enemy be if we had to fight against these people who use cheats? My idea drawer is empty...

After I started writing, I first understood the difficulty of the liberators. I felt it more deeply than anyone else, and was deeply frightened.

But let's be clear, I wanted Bartram. Because I wanted him so badly, I made him a very important character in this story. Even though this Bartram was this, he was a completely different person—or rather, a different slime—from the pitiful one that was blasted to pieces by Hajime's single attack in the "Ordinary Job" story.

Why are the names the same...

In the era of this story, there are no monsters called slimes, and all slime-type monsters are called Bachuram.

Even after being corrected several times that the correct name was Bartram, the person still insisted on calling them Bachuram.

Most of the traces left in history are that person's fault.

You can imagine it from this incident.

Well, the demon-dragon-man Ben has become a companion in this episode, and he's become quite close to Ao. Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to write about the secret story of the birth of the "Dragon Devouring Sword" in the next episode. For those who don't know what this is, please be sure to read "From an Ordinary Job to the World's Strongest"!

The space is almost used up, and what comes next is the publicity that makes me feel extremely anxious.

That's the animation, the "Ordinary Job" anime. I hope everyone will enjoy seeing Hajime and the others moving smoothly. Since Meredith also appears, it's like going from "Zero's story" to "Hajime's story"... I'd be delighted if everyone could enjoy it together.

Finally, enter the thank you speech.

Thank you, Takayaki-sensei, for your amazing illustrations. My editors and proofreaders, I apologize for the lengthy manuscripts. And to everyone who works so hard on publishing, thank you all for your continued help. Please allow me to express my deepest gratitude to all three of you for your excellent manga every time.

The most important thing is to all the readers who picked up this book, and all the netizens of "小創家になろう".

Thank you so much for your daily support!

Please continue to support "Ordinary Jobs"!

Prequel Zero 3: The bonus turns into the wrong use of magic

"Woo~~"

In a hidden village deep in the forest, a lovely growl echoed from a room in a house.

The owner of the voice is Colleen, and the person who makes Colleen make that voice is Katie.

Although Katie and the others have not yet fully regained their self-awareness, they will perform necessary actions in life as long as they are given instructions, so taking care of them has become much easier.

Even so, why did Colleen make such a cute cry when facing Katie who was sitting on the chair and staring blankly into space...?

"Katie, this is very nutritious, so just have a bite, okay?"

Colleen scooped a spoonful of stewed beans and put it to Katie's mouth, but Katie slapped it away. Seeing the stewed beans fall on the table, Colleen puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Oh my goodness, Katie! Don't waste food!"

Katie opened her empty eyes and turned her head away.

No words were needed, anyone who saw it would understand what she meant - she absolutely wouldn't eat it!

Bit beans are rich in nutrients and can be found in most forests, making them a very valuable food. Unfortunately, they taste very bitter.

Before being harmed by the Divine Weapon Creation Project, Bit Beans were at the top of Katie's list of foods she hated.

Having said that, they had just moved to a secluded village and really couldn't afford to be picky about food.

"Here, I made it really sweet this time, okay? Don't be afraid, try a bite and see."

Gentle Colleen once again brought the spoon to Katie's mouth, directly against her lips, and then...

“Hmm!?”

Katie turned the spoon with incredible speed and pushed it to Colleen's mouth. Her movements were like those of a battle-hardened warrior!

"Really? Seriously! If you don't obey me, I'll be mad!"

Katie turned her face away again.

After that, Colleen tried every trick in the book to get Katie to eat, but her outstretched hand was either slapped away, or her spoon was snatched away and she was fed instead. Sometimes Katie would flee the room with astonishing footwork, or sometimes Colleen would be subdued and force-fed...

“Wu, wu, wu~~~~~!!”

In the end, Colleen turned into a creature that could only whimper with tears in its eyes.

At this time, Oscar and others heard the noise and rushed over.

"Colleen, what's wrong?"

“Brother~~~~~!”

Colleen hugged Oscar tightly and cried to him about Katie's evil deeds.

"Really? Katie, don't make Colleen cry."

Oscar scolded Katie, who turned her head away even further. Meredith, Mel, and the others laughed in amusement.

Oscar picked up Katie, who refused to eat her stewed beans, and sat her on his lap, then picked up the spoon.

Katie was still struggling and moving around, but the moment Oscar held her against his chest and held her firmly, she immediately relaxed and calmed down.

"We'll be able to bring in more food in a while, so can you just be patient? Come on, Katie, open your mouth, ah~"

Oscar put on a gentle expression and brought the stewed beans to Katie's mouth.

"It's useless, brother. Katie won't eat it—"

Katie devoured the stewed beans in one gulp. Colleen's eyes dimmed, an expression that shouldn't have appeared on a little girl's face.

"That's good, you're so good, Katie. Come on, ah~"

"Hmm~~~~"

She seemed to be in a good mood. Her trademark twintails seemed to be bouncing with joy.

"Katie is an idiot!"

"Whoa! Hey, Colleen! Stop playing around while we're eating!"

Seeing Katie obediently following her brother's instructions, Colleen lost her composure. She clenched her fists and punched Katie repeatedly. Katie slapped her fists down with one hand and rubbed Oscar's chest in a coquettish manner. This made Colleen even more furious.

"It's really strange that Katie is so attached to Big Brother."

"Huh? Ruth-chan, is that so?"

Meredith tilted her head in confusion. According to Ruth, Katie was a bit of a tsundere, not one who would openly act outwardly. Especially when it came to Oscar, she acted extra mature, and wouldn't embrace him unless something was particularly important.

Mei said "Hmm~" with a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps because her consciousness is suppressed, her instinctive or subconscious mind is showing."

In other words, in her heart, Katie had also wanted to act like a spoiled child to Oscar like she was doing now...Miletti and the others showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. That's why she refuses to eat Bit Beans unless her big brother feeds her. Normally, she'd eat them even if she cried. So, Dilan probably wouldn't dare eat Bit Beans either..."

Ruth looked back and saw Dilan...palely, silently eating beans. Incidentally, his profile looked lonely, as if he were a forgotten person.

"Di, Dilan? We haven't forgotten you, okay?"

Ruth's cheeks twitched slightly, and she tried to explain herself to him, but Dilan quietly turned his back on him. Then, he hunched over and began to eat beans silently again.

There was sadness emanating from his back, as if he was saying, "Forget it, forget me..."

"Dilran-kun~~! Cheer up! I haven't forgotten you! Come, come here! Sister Meredith will give you a hug!"

Meredith hurriedly opened her arms to welcome Dilan.

Dilan glanced at her, his cheeks slightly flushed. Ruth observed, "Oh? Dilan's expression changed!?" Dilan stood up and staggered forward...

Ignoring the smiling Meredith, he simply hugged Mei'er to her chest.

"..."

"M-Miletti-sister, Dilan has an expression I've never seen before... Is that okay?"

Ruth stepped back a few steps, and Mel said happily:

"Oh my, Dilan, come on, do you like Mei'er so much? Haha, I like straightforward boys."

Sister Mei'er's heart is filled with happiness, and Dilan seems to be happy too.

Now it's because of the subconscious that it's coming out, so we can't blame him! Because he's a boy!

Ruth looked at Dilan with a subtle expression, as if to say, "So you like big breasts."

"Breasts?! They're still breasts! Damn it!"

Meredith lay prone on the ground, pounding her fists. An overwhelming sense of defeat lingered from her figure, but she quickly raised her head.

"Oh right! If I ask Ben, I can also use magic to transform into a busty beautiful girl... Ben! Where is Ben!?"

Mireidi suddenly rushed out, and her voice shouting "Xiaoban~ please turn Xiaomi into big breasts~~~~!" echoed in the new hidden village.
