The Story Of Sensei And Me Getting Summoned To Another World (3)

"Wow. Me too."

Both of us have bottom-tier jobs.

"This is a failure! And both of you, no less! The time and expense we invested in this summoning don't match this! You're just like some ordinary kids!"

It's only natural for the king, who was expecting heroes, to be angry. Disappointment was unavoidable when what appeared were a common woman and a high school student.

But don't despair.

Being a Thief is also a job with its uses. If you plan to enjoy the game by focusing on game strategy and defeating tough enemies, beginners and intermediate players would mostly ignore this Job. The low success rate of the initial skill [Steal] was the main problem, and it made you wonder why such a lousy job even existed.

However, just like with Curse User, I continued to explore ways to make the most of the so-called "lousy" Thief job, and I fully understood how to use it effectively.

"Your Majesty, this is actually a good outcome."

I confidently stated.

"How is this good?! A wretched Thief and a dubious Curse User... This is far from being heroes!"

"Individually, it might not seem impressive, but together, they form a powerful combination, and although they might not have the firepower to mow down countless enemies on the battlefield..."

"That's what I'm looking for! Heroes should be like that!"

Oh no, this isn't going well. There's no getting through to them. That's why amateurs...

Firepower, firepower, and more firepower... That's what they want, right? It's simple and straightforward, and as long as you have the firepower, you don't need to think too hard about equipment or skill usage.

This game is deep, and those who only know the surface tend to think that firepower is everything, but that's not necessarily the case.

"To have a summoning fail and let other nations know would bring shame."

"Your Majesty...! From the perspective of a retired player like me, compared to mediocre Magic Knights and Gun Mages, this outcome..."

"Silence! You're the one who's better off that way! That's enough. Leave immediately! If you don't obey, I can even make it so that we 'never summoned' you!"

We were indirectly threatened with erasure.

"...Calling us here and then treating us like this, how rude."

"Yeah, seriously. What a terrible attitude."

There's nothing more to say. Amateurs are just...

Firepower, firepower, and more firepower. Oh, amateurs...

Ao-chan, who was angry a moment ago, pouted her cheeks in irritation. She looked cute when she was in a bad mood.

"You're not at fault, but His Majesty's intentions are absolute. I feel sorry for causing you trouble because of our circumstances, but there's nothing more to be said. It's best to comply."

The old knight said this and handed over some money. A total of 100,000 Lin for both of us.

"Thank you. ...Shiozaki-kun, do you know how much this is worth?"

Ao-chan asked quietly.

"You can think of it as having roughly the same value as in Japan."

"It's so little though! Is this even adequate for the inconvenience!?"

She seemed angry, but then she sat down abruptly and started sobbing.

"There's no change of clothes, no place to live, no beer after a bath... I can't even get drunk naked in my room..."

Was she doing that kind of stuff regularly?

"Sensei, cheer up. I'll figure something out."

"Huh?"

We were escorted by soldiers and thrown out of the castle.

Ao-chan seemed full of anxiety, but I felt differently.

With a Thief, a Curse User, and my knowledge, I could do just fine in this world.
