Konnichiwa, I Need a Job

TOC – NEXT

My name is Nozomi Honda. I am a fourth-year college student at a local university. Now is the winter season when you need to wear coats and gloves. If it were a normal college senior, job hunting would be over and they would be having fun, but…

「Again… rejection email …」

I have yet to find a job.

「It’s OK! They’re still doing the screening process! 」

「That’s right! In Dad’s era, the job market was so tight that we had to wait until the new year to find a job! 」

My mom and dad are desperately trying to comfort me. They think they are trying to be cheerful, but I know that they have been searching job-hunting websites for me in the middle of the night, looking for companies that are still in the process of recruiting. They both give me a blank look and say they found a company brochure in my mailbox, but it’s obvious. Besides, I know that they are even more depressed than I am the day I get the prayer mail.

「Yeah… I’ll try to do a little better. 」

With my parents encouraging me behind me, I walked into my room to escape.

I was on the verge of tears. I’ve been to more than 30 companies and have been wiped out. I know why. I’m not confident in myself. (I don’t want to remember the reason too much…) That’s why I can’t answer the interviewer’s questions with confidence and it leaves me in a daze.

「Haha… I’m getting sick of this…」

I flopped down on the bed in my room. I was already on the verge of losing my mind about getting a job, and then a beep rang from my phone.

(What is that…?)

I looked at my phone, tilting my head as I heard a notification sound that I didn’t remember hearing very well, and found that I had received a text message. The text message was…

“

Nice to meet you, I am in charge of recruitment at Trinity Goddess Church. Based on Ms. Nozomi Honda’s background, I contacted you considering that you willing to join us as a staff member of our Trinity Goddess Church

If you are interested in joining us, please come to the Trinity Goddess Church in 〇〇 City tomorrow.

“

Suspicious. It’s suspicious no matter how you look at it. They don’t have a decent job description, and it’s quite suspicious when they send me an email without going through the job site I’m registered with. And it’s called the Church of the Trinity Goddess. It’s the name of the church I used to play at when I was a kid. That church was quite old even when I was a kid, and I don’t remember it had any staff. Well, I only played there in the church yard, and maybe there was a staff in the church.

Anyway, normal people would ignore such an email, but I was halfway desperate in response to the repeated rejection notices, so I thought it was a good thing that I was able to respond to that suspicious email.

“Thank you. I’ll be at the Trinity Goddess Church tomorrow around nine o’clock.”

I replied. Looking back, this was the turning point in my fate. That’s not the first thing an ordinary person would do. I never imagined that I would be working in a job that would determine the fate of the world. At that time, I never thought it would happen.

………

…..

The next day, as the suspicious email mentioned, I put on my recruitment suit and headed to the Trinity Goddess Church in an alleyway in the city. My parents had gone somewhere in the morning and I left without being seen by anyone.

8:50 am. It was about 8:50 a.m. and I was at the door of the Trinity Goddess Church. It’s not my imagination, but the church is just as I remembered it. No, it may be worse than the way I remember it. And so it is. After all, it was more than ten years ago that I remembered. I opened the gate, which was rusty and made a strange sound, and entered the church.

「Ugh… I didn’t know the inside of the church was like this…」

Inside the church there were about ten rows of benches, with the three goddesses in the front, and the statues of the three goddesses, from left to right: an aunt, a girl, and an old lady.

It was now 9 a.m., the appointed time. I looked around, but there was no sign of anyone. I wondered if it was a prank mail after all, and when I turned around, the old lady was there. When I couldn’t speak and was surprised, the old lady looked at me and said

「What are you doing here? 」

「Huh? Um… they asked me if I was going to be on the staff here…」

When I answered the old lady’s question in a slumbering manner, she smiled and said

「Well, looks like you finally found it.」

He approaches the goddess statue.

「Come on sisters, wake up! We’ve found a precious employee here! 」

The old woman suddenly said this to the goddess statue. I was startled by the old woman in front of me who suddenly started screaming.

「Kyaaa! 」

I can’t help but close my eyes as the goddess statue in front of me begins to glow dazzle. And when the light subsides.

「「…」」

Two women stood in front of the statue of the goddess.
