A request from the Commissioner of Police

From this year onwards, the vocational training school-that is, from the year we go on to high school (although we went up to the escalator style without taking an exam that seems to be an exam?), In the high school, “Adventurer Senka” and “Police” It seems that the selection of “Senka” will be set up.

The former is mainly a course that trains you to explore, and conquer dungeons for a living, and by the way, I’m definitely the one who has conquered the most dungeons in the entire world (including the exploration and conquering aspects).

I’m the only person with the authority of a dungeon master, the only person who can generate items from dungeons, the only person who can summon monsters, and as far as I can tell, the only person who can use it as a valid piece of land, like a training ground.

If there were, I’d definitely be on the cutting edge, and if I hadn’t learned anything in my profession/skill quest, there would be nothing I could learn in my adventuring career.

And one more thing.

“Sashima Yasushi, if you don’t mind, I was wondering if you’d like to join the police force.

It is primarily a dedicated police course that trains people to deal with criminals and others who misuse their profession and skills.”

Two and a half years have passed since that day, but Mr. Sumida, who is still the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, still comes to my house, which is located away from the vocational training school, and bows his head deeply in front of the door.

“Yes, Ichika-chan. ……”

Yasushi asked me to raise my head.

I’m in trouble when the head of the police force bows down to me, who is two years older than me, considering my age in my previous life, but asking me if I would like to be a police specialist was also a pretty troubling proposition.

Well, then, about going to the police department ……!

To be honest, I don’t really want to go there.

“Well, I guess I’ll just go to the Adventurer’s Course after all …….”

I don’t mean to be, and I’ve certainly been handed documents by the Minister of Defense, the Minister of the Environment, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and others like that, asking me to choose the adventurer specialization ……, and some of them even asked me to come to the teaching side by all means …….

I was the same way in my previous life, but high school kids are cocky, and I don’t think they’re going to take my classes seriously when they’re 16 years old, physically, if not in substance.

Even if they did listen to me, I don’t want to teach a class in the first place.

So I was going to lightly intimidate him, giving him a good reason, “Because I don’t have anything to learn,” and negotiate for an exemption like I did for my middle school quest.

I’m not sure what to make of it, but I’m sure it’s a good idea.

I don’t think it’s punishable to at least ask him about it.

I also owe him for arranging for me to live with Ichika.

Well, since …… is not the place to be, please come inside, and we’ll at least ask what’s going on.

◇

The living room of our house. Mr. Sumita sits on the sofa across the desk, and Ichika sits on the chair facing him. I listen to the story while popping out from behind Ichika-chan.

This is because the control of intimidation is not good at all due to the accelerated increase in status.

“First of all, as a prerequisite, have you guys heard of an organization called the Star of Favor?”

A favored star? What the hell is that? You look like you’ve never heard of it.

It’s a terrorist group that operates on the idea that ‘warriors’ and ‘wizards’ and other non-villagers with particularly useful professions should rule and reign over the ‘villagers’.

“Well, to put it bluntly, that’s right. Starting with that star of love, the number of criminals who abuse the power of their profession and skills is steadily increasing year by year.

And the reason for that is, quite simply, it’s hard to police them.”

Well, the power you get from your skills and professions can be more powerful than a gun.

It wouldn’t be surprising if some people were addicted to power or wanted to use it to commit crimes.

I rarely watch TV, and I especially don’t watch the morning news programs because they are full of depressing content, such as the vulgar affairs of celebrities.

In fact, I didn’t know that the world was in such a situation.

But if that’s the case.

“It’s not that hard to dive into dungeons and raise your level as an ordinary person like an adventurer these days.

If you’re in a vanguard position or something, you can get a strong body that bullets can’t penetrate with level 10 or so, and on the other hand, not all police officers dive dungeons to raise their levels.”

In fact, in the past it was all level 1, but nowadays you can see people walking around the city who are not level 1.

Yes, and the professions of about half of the cops are undeniably underpowered to arrest ‘villagers’ …… leveled ‘warriors’ and the like.”

“I see, so you want a strong man like Yasu to use his profession and skills to help you catch criminals.”

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.”

It is true that there is a difference in strength between a level 10 combat worker and a level 1 villager, about the same as a baby and an adult.

In addition, the crimes usually occur in the city where there are people, so you have to seize them without causing damage to the surrounding area.

In other words, the criminals that the police can’t handle, while I suppress them with magical intimidation and press.

In addition, the fact that we were able to subdue them will help deter crime.

To be honest, I don’t want to get too involved with criminals, but it’s very easy to subdue them.

…… Well, it’s basically a good thing to improve the security of the country we live in, and I was willing to help if it was only once a month or so. just ……

“… Isn’t it okay to ask for the control of the criminal by another mouth even if I don’t enter the police department?”

What I was wondering, Ichika-chan asked me instead.

In fact, I think that nasty criminals should be wanted or something, and people like adventurers should be able to request them: ……

“There are several reasons why it’s difficult to do so, first of all, if you put a bounty on a wanted person, you need to have unnecessary casualties for the bounty. not only that,……, this is mostly a favored planet, and there are many cases where people who are supposed to go to subdue it are inspired by its ideology and turn to its members instead,…….”

Mr. Sumida said sadly, but I was somehow convinced.

The people who can catch criminals in that line of work are basically people from professions other than villagers.

Some people may be tainted by the idea that they should control the villagers themselves, especially if they have the personality to get involved in such dangerous matters. ……

Besides, in terms of deterring crime, it’s more convenient for police officials to control such organizations.

I guess that is the guy who is concerned with the reputation of the police.

“But there’s no way to manage the current situation, so we have to draw them in,” he said.

Well, if that’s the case, I’ll cooperate.

It’s a good thing that I’m not the only one who has a problem with this.

“But there are two main conditions: the first is that I only want to take the job once a month, and the second is that I’ll quit if I want to.

Also, I won’t take a job I don’t want to do, and there’s a chance I’ll scrap it halfway through, in which case I’ll make sure to disclose the reason, but you have to accept that.”

In other words, I won’t take a job that takes weeks to complete, even if it’s only once a month; if I have a hard time working with criminals, I’ll quit; if there’s a case I don’t want to be a part of suppressing, I’ll quit cooperating as soon as I feel like it.

It’s not that I want to be a policeman, and it’s not that I want to help, so I had no intention of taking on that kind of responsibility.

And if this isn’t acceptable, I’m just not going to cooperate in the first place.

“…… Okay, that’s good enough for me, I’ll get back to you with the details.”

After saying that, Mr. Sumida bowed deeply once more and then left.
