I Want to Be a Receptionist in the Magic World CHAPTER 19 Part 2
HARE EMPLOYMENT YEAR 1
Translator: Masakibluei
A click comes into
Zozo’s mind and she clap her hands as she says, “That’s right. It’s that, isn’t
it? Aristo Pigly’s thesis!”
Aristo Pigly………
If I’m not
mistaken, he is a researcher who did a study about demon. That person published
a thesis about demon last year.
[ A Lifeform with a Completely Evil Disposition. An Existence Which is
Mysteriously Different from Magic Animal]
That was the title
of the thesis.
A creature with so many variants that exceeded human’s expectation, and
brought so many calamities to our life, did not have anything attached to it.
Then those creatures were classified together as evil beings and were given
name demon.
“The boundaries between magic animal and demon is kind of ambiguous. The
magical animal is classified by their level of aggressiveness, physical
appearance, and magical power. If you are searching for a type of magic animal by using
this classification, you will find the answer naturally and easily.”
“Nevertheless, this method of classification is not feasible to be
applied to a demon. The only thing that we know about the demon is the fact that they
live by eating living beings or death objects with magical power. Because of
this, they attack humans, and eat them. They also eat magical animals, but they
don’t eat any plants.”
“In this study, we did an autopsy of a demon’s corpse to investigate how
a demon was born.”
“The result was surprising. The demon was born from a human being.”
“It’s still a mystery on how the mutation happened. When you looked at
it in the beginning, it did not look like a human, instead, it resembled a
creature with 4 legs. It had sharp fangs and sticky green skin.”
“However, when we did the autopsy, the internal organs and the
reproduction organ of the demon corpse were exactly the same as human's. “
“Based on the autopsy, we determined the demon was mutated from a human
male.”
“The bone was also absolutely
human. Although it was visible that the arrangement of the bones seemed to be
forcefully made into a creature that walks on 4 legs. “
“We were still unable to find out how a human turned into a grotesque
creature like that. But we thought that it would not be strange at all if a
human with at least magical power like us, would be able to mutate into a
demon. “
In addition to his thesis, he also added a picture of a creepy creature
to be shown to the public. That picture was securely taken by the researcher.
The tongue of the creature was long and except for the black color skin, it looked
exactly like Dr. Aristo’s picture. Although I did not see the creature
directly, the demon in the picture also had 3 eyes.
Zozo: “They might be the same. The one that we saw and the one on Dr. Aristo's picture. ”
Zozo-san’s remark makes me shaken. When I think that the creature was originally a human being, I suddenly become scared. When I think that we are the same as that creature, I imagine a person transform into that creepy creature in close up. The vivid image of the transformation disgusts me.
Automatically,
everyone tries to laugh at Zozo-san’s remark while saying, ‘no way’. However,
inwardly they are unable to deny her remark and make a grim face. They feel
that they cannot throw away this possibility.
But,
then……
If this demon was originally a human, then who was it? Even though Dr. Aristo found out that the demon was originally a human, in the end, he couldn’t identify the person who was turned into the demon. It seems that he did try to search into the missing person list in that period of time, but there are a hundred cases of missing persons in this country every year. The majority of the cases were not even reached Hare. Henceforth, it was impossible to determine the identity of the person who was transformed into the demon.
It’s very difficult to investigate the whole country, so he inevitably wouldn’t be able to find any clue.
Arquez:
“For the time being, I will take a picture of this figure that is shown by the
leaves.”
Arquez
captures the image of the demon into a paper and gives the paper to me. This
picture will be put together with the request form. Although we do not have any
information except for the creature’s appearance, this picture is very important.
Thus, I give him my gratitude and then show the picture to Zozo-san.
Zozo:
“As always, you are so nimble.”
She
gazes at Arquez with the utmost respect and gives him her words of gratitude while
putting her hand on top of my shoulder.
Zozo: “I and Nanari will start to prepare the request application. Approximately after we verify one more time with the client, we will be able to post it on the bulletin board. After that, we have to give a copy to the Director too. “
Nanari:
“Director too?”
She pulls me toward the back door and asks me to go inside the building with her. Out of curiosity, I ask her," Why we have to tell the Director too?"
Then Zozo points her finger up and says that because we haven’t told her about this yet.
Zozo:
“The thing in Hare, when there is a case that likely will threaten the whole
country………like a demon for example. When there is a case like that happens, we
have to share all the information that we have to the King and the Chivalric
Order. I think this is a part of an agreement
between Hare, and the King. “
I
see. To keep the order and harmony, the flow of information has to be smoothly distributed
between the government and Hare.
Nanari: “So that’s how it is…”
Zozo:
“Of course we also have to get permission from the client too. Some of the
information will also contain some private information about the individual, so we can’t
share it without giving them notice.”
Harris:
“Then without a doubt, the Director’s mood will turn sour after this.”
Harris
ne-san put her hand on Zozo-san’s shoulder and peeks from behind to see my
face.
