An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

Or you can also just treat me as hopeless and think to yourself, "Bai Mi must be writing this to please himself," or "There's really nothing I can do about Bai Mi."

Also, I don't know if there will be readers who will say, "I've tried my best to collect all the bonuses that have been released," but if there are, I would like to thank such readers very much. You are my god!

If a god like that knew about the release of this short story collection, he would definitely think, "They actually put it together and published it in one book! Damn it!" and then glare at me with the same cold eyes as Yue.

So in order to repay such a god, I wrote a brand new SS with gratitude in my heart.

SS...Short Story...a short story of over 40,000 words...

No, well, SS could also be the abbreviation of Special Story, or Super Story... Please just think that Baimi is hopeless and don't bother with her (sweat).

In any case, I would be honored if you enjoyed this collection of new short stories and the slightly revised bonus short stories and found more enjoyment in it than I did as the writer, Bai Mi.

Compared to the main story which has more serious plots, please enjoy the story with a different atmosphere with a smile!

Okay, since there is still some space left, I will select a few short stories and give some simple explanations.

New short stories: dream adventures and miraculous encounters

The idea for this story actually came from an existing bonus short story. Perhaps someone has it: "Unexplained Daydreams," a bonus short story from the "OVERLAP Publishing 6th Anniversary" issue.

In that story, Mireddy and Yue, Hajime and Oscar, each encountered their own paths. Due to the 3,000-word limit, the plot was rushed. Regarding this, Baimi, since Mireddy and the others had a rare encounter with Hajime and the others, she wanted to write about it in more detail.

This time, I received a request for a collection of short stories, so I took the opportunity to write this story.

If Hajime and the others had memories of their encounter, there would be plot flaws in both the main story and the spin-off Zero, so although they were reluctant, in the end they had no choice but to have no memories of each other.

However, each of them left something in the other's heart... That's probably the story.

Also, although it's a well-known fact to readers of the online version of the epilogue, Myuu actually has the ability to "attract unknown entities"! And Myuu also displays this ability in this story.

The seventh volume, "Postscript to the Postscript" (a short story that can be read by answering a questionnaire), which was released on the OVERLAP Publishing website, actually also wrote about "Evil Food", of which only a few fragments remained, and how they became "friends" after meeting Myuu.

Myuu...what a terrible child!

The Valkyrie Descends to the Holy Land

This is the story of how Kaori and Shizuku spent their holidays on Earth. An inside story: they also raided other shops, and they were blacklisted from those shops—especially those frequented by Hajime. They were considered a pair of beautiful girls with an unusual interest in erotic games and books.

Incidentally, Hajime's father, Nanyun Shuu, is the president of a gaming company, and his mother, Sumire, is a popular shojo manga artist.

Born from two people who are otakus at heart, it is natural that the two are pure elite otakus.

His skills in drawing illustrations of beautiful girls and background paintings are top-notch, and his game-related programming is also professional-level. Therefore, his subordinates who are troubled by the playful Shuu and Sumire often come to Hajime for help and rely on him very much.

Dreaming about family

This is a story conceived from the perspective of the family members left behind in a story about summoning to another world.

Shirami believes that compared to the "reincarnation" type, which is reborn in another world after death, the sudden disappearance of the "transfer" type is more heartbreaking for those left behind. Because they hold on to the hope that "they might come back", they must be unable to let go.

This work is the story of "Hajime's desire to return to his hometown" from beginning to end.

However, it is also a story of saving the wounded hearts of the "summoned ones and their loved ones left behind in their original world," or rather, a story of driving away despair.

If you ask me what the theme of this game is, I would probably answer "The protagonist is the strongest" or "The weapon is so powerful that it's romantic." But if you ask me "What's the hidden theme?"... I would probably answer "A story about not giving up on family."

Handsome Rabbit and Steel Boy

This is a completely IF scenario, based on "Man of Steel." Compared to eating monsters to increase strength, this plot development might be more in line with the title (sweat).

Regarding the Kicking Rabbit... Actually, a similar creature will appear in this novel after a while.

·This store manager is also good

I received a commission for a special short story for TSUTAYA, and since I thought this was a rare opportunity, I decided to use TSUTAYA as the stage.

I always rent movies. If I like them, I'll buy them when they're returned. TSUTAYA-sama! Thank you for your continued support!

TSUTAYA is also one of the holy places of white rice, so it was especially enjoyable to write about it!

A peaceful team of brave warriors

Let me explain a little bit about Ryuutarou's choke. He's from the second episode of Shirami's favorite movie, "Kuroko no Kokoro," and he's probably my favorite enemy character in the entire series.

Late Night Chase & The Wasted Dragon of a Wonderful World

The chronological order is that "The Wasted Dragon of a Beautiful World" comes first. That's why Hajime likes riding Tio.

·A dragon gives birth to a dragon, and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix?

I just wanted to write about a little girl sniper with eagle eyes.

Magic Academy Series & Folk Tales and Fairy Tales

It's incredibly useful when I'm stuck for a short story. I'm always struggling for inspiration, and before I know it, it's become a series. Because of the setting, these stories are free to express themselves, and I'm having a blast writing them.

Since the space is almost up, the explanation ends here.

Please excuse me for taking this opportunity to promote the fourth volume of the side story novel Zero, which is expected to be released next month. The final Age of Gods magician will finally appear, and the plot itself will accelerate... (Editor's note: This is the Japanese publication status.)

Please also support the story of Miledi and others from scratch.

Finally, please allow me to express my thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Takayaki, for always creating beautiful illustrations for this book. Also, congratulations on the release of the "Heizhi" artbook! I sincerely thank you, Mr. RoGa, Mr. Mori Misaki, and Mr. Kamichi Aturu, for your exceptional manga in every sense of the word. I also want to thank the editor, proofreaders, and everyone else who worked so hard to bring this book to life.

I am also extremely grateful to the readers who purchased this book, and to all the netizens who have become light novel writers!

Please continue to support "Ordinary Occupations"!

Short Story Collection Bonus: Everyone's Little Miao Devil Transformation Plan

In one of the rooms in the palace at the deepest part of the ice and snow cave, Hajime was concentrating on refining.

"Hey? Nagumo-san, what are you doing?"

Shizuku, who happened to pass by, quietly peeked through the door and asked.

Hajime maintained his cross-legged sitting position and turned around and said:

"I'm making a disguise artifact."

"Turn yourself in. I'll go to the police station with you."

Shizuku answered seriously. Her expression was full of understanding, as if to say, "I'll wait for you to get out of prison." She was truly infatuated.

"What do you think of me? This is a divine tool made for Myuu."

Hajime half-opened his eyes and picked up the earrings to show Shizuku, "Is it for Myu-chan?" Shizuku tilted her head in confusion.

"She has some very striking features, doesn't she? Shia, too... The moment their existence is discovered, the warriors of Akihabara might become super soldiers like Captain America."

"When did Akihabara become such a demonic place... But I understand what you mean."

Shizuku nodded in agreement. Indeed, if demihumans came to Japan, they wouldn't be able to live a normal life without hiding their characteristics. Hajime nodded vigorously and said,

"That's it. If Myuu wishes, I want her to go to kindergarten and elementary school. If Remia wants to live there, I also want to help her survive in society..."

“Hehe, Nagumo-san, really…”

Shizuku felt both heartwarming and admired by Hajime's thoughtfulness and dedication to his adopted daughter in the other world. Furthermore, the fact that the person she loved had such a gentle side to her made Shizuku's heart warm, and she couldn't help but feel immense affection for Hajime...

"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Shizuku said this with a smile because she wanted to help. So, Hajime spoke bluntly:

"Really? Thank you so much. Then, you can be my test bench."

"Wait a moment."

"First, please look at the tip of this silver tube. If you light it up for a moment, your memory will be erased."

"Wait a moment."

"Don't worry, it will only erase a few seconds of your memory. I won't just randomly create a new memory for you like some secret organization agent fighting aliens. However, I can use the additional function to brainwash you - to induce your consciousness -"

"Help! Help! Crazy Alchemist! There's a Crazy Alchemist here! Help!"

Shizuku no longer wanted to help! She didn't know whether to call it fear or dread. Seeing the person she loved naturally reveal his crazy side, Shizuku's heart trembled and turned cold. She really wanted to escape!

"My head might explode, but I have regeneration magic, so it's okay! Just one moment! Just one moment!" Hajime urged as he approached. Shizuku couldn't help but retreat. Because she'd seen a certain movie before, she covered her eyes with her hands and fought back desperately.

During this time, Yue and others rushed over after hearing Shizuku's urgent cries.

"Hashige-kun!? What are you going to do to Shizuku-chan!?"

"It's just an experiment to erase memories."
