Takatsugi-kun’s JOB Was Axe Wielder

With excitement bubbling inside me, I stepped into the dungeon.

The moment I did, a mechanical female voice echoed in my head.

《You have been granted the JOB: Axe Wielder》

…Axe Wielder? What the heck is that?

Does it mean… like the kind of axe you use to chop wood?

“Axe Wielder? What kind of joke is this!?”

This has to be a mistake.

“So your JOB is Axe Wielder, huh?” Kudou asked.

What!? How does he know that!?

“Hey, Kudou! How do you know I’m an Axe Wielder?”

Kudou answered plainly, “You said it out loud just now.”

Apparently, I’d been so flustered that I blurted it out without realizing.

Crap.

Now Kudou knows I’m an Axe Wielder.

Then, with a grin, he said, “An Axe Wielder, huh? That’s pretty cool!”

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, confused.

Kudou replied, “You’ll be swinging an axe and smashing monsters in a single blow, right? That’s awesome.”

Hmm…

Maybe being an Axe Wielder isn’t so bad after all.

Nakamori-san’s older brother is that gorilla of a man.

Which means she’s used to seeing wild guys like him.

If I—usually cool and refined—show off a wild side in the dungeon, it might leave a serious impression!

What was that term again? Gap moe, right?

Nakamori-san just might fall for me… heart-throbbingly hard!

Yeah.

Axe Wielder.

Not bad at all!

Gap moe (ギャップ萌え): A Japanese term for the appeal of an unexpected contrast in personality or appearance—like a quiet person showing a bold side or a refined character suddenly acting wild. It's often used in romantic or comedic contexts.
