Night, flames, a woman smiling in the flames, and those around her who looked like demons.

This is the only knot in Moore's heart all these years.

He was from the Kingdom of Tada and had been a loyal church knight until he met Lisara.

That year, a nationwide epidemic struck. It was this saintly woman who concocted the medicine and saved the entire nation. But it was also in that year that Lisala died.

From that day on, Moor lost all hope in the Kingdom of Tada and in the world.

He gradually became this lazy and listless person until he met Salia, who granted him the power of 'sloth', which rekindled his desire to save the world. However, when he went to the Kingdom of Tada, he found that not only was the country gone, but even the land was gone.

After learning the truth from the old man who guarded the books, Moore remembered Kuro.

Inside the office.

Moore was speaking, surrounded by a group of officers.

Lida sat on the sofa, engrossed in eating snacks, finishing one bag after another, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

Ian sat next to her and opened a bag of snacks for her.

Kuro stood next to Kuro with his hands behind his back, his glasses gleaming, seemingly lost in thought.

Cass and Wilbur stood on either side of the gate like two guardian deities, their backs ramrod straight.

Donald leaned against the wall, wiping his cross-shaped gun.

Binz sat cross-legged in the corner, meditating.

Sazir looked around, seemingly observing the office layout.

Kikyo was looking at the recipe, but Fanny's expression was complicated.

As he listened to Moore's story, Kuro rested his chin on the back of his hand, striking a 'commander' pose, and carefully examined Moore.

This man had long curly hair that reached his shoulders. He had a handsome face but looked somewhat lazy. His clothes were also loose and baggy, making him look more like a homeless person.

Whether Moore joins the Navy or not is of no concern to Kuro.

He has many subordinates with complex compositions like this.

Kuro is a former pirate captain, and Sazel is a former apprentice pirate.

Donald is a former knight-errant, a knight-errant from the Flower Kingdom, a character who combines the roles of 'bodyguard,' 'knight-errant,' 'bandit,' and 'thug,' so he's not exactly a good guy professionally.

Adding another unemployed person who failed to save the world wouldn't be a big deal.

"What are your opinions?" Kuro asked, looking at the others.

"Whatever," Lida said dismissively, stuffing snacks into her mouth.

Everyone else's expressions were pretty much the same.

Only Cass and Wilbur were deep in thought. Cass said, "Of course we welcome anyone who wants to uphold justice, Mr. Moore. Let's fight for justice together!"

"Ah... Sir Navy, you don't need to be so polite." Moore smiled and said, "I just want to find a place to work."

Kuro pushed up his glasses. "Working? If it's just working, you don't necessarily have to choose the Navy. You can do it anywhere else. With your strength, you can do anything."

As the strategist in Mr. Kuro's team, he must manage every risk well. This time, Mr. Kuro has given them a choice, so they must perform well.

Otherwise, there would be no chance to show off.

Mr. Kuro rarely gives them any choice of their own.

"That's not how it works..."

Moore lowered his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I don't know why, but I'm the kind of person who never sticks to anything for long. Back when I was at sea, I worked as a guard on merchant ships, and then the ship caught fire and all the cargo was gone."

"I also worked as a bodyguard for a wealthy family, but after only a few days, the family was robbed, and it seems they even stole evidence of his illegal activities. As a result, he went bankrupt, and I lost my job."

"I've tried being a pirate hunter, but I haven't caught a single pirate. That's strange, considering there are so many pirates on the high seas."

"After stumbling around for a while and failing at everything, I met that saintess and was persuaded to join. Actually, I just wanted to find another job. The navy is so big, I can't stay here for long, right?"

Sazir smirked after hearing what Moore said.

This isn't a question of whether it will last or not; it's a question of how unlucky you are.

"I have some objections."

Wilbur then spoke up, "Mr. Kuro, I think we need to reconsider. Based on this person's resume, there's a good chance of some unexpected situations arising, such as being demoted, which would be a bad thing."

"Huh? What does this have to do with me? Why would he be demoted if I were around?" Moore asked in surprise.

This is a really good thing!

Kuro opened his eyes and immediately made a decision.

"Alright, you can join the Navy then. It's unlucky for a human like you... no, we Navy are always ready to help those in need. From now on, you're one of my G-3s. Hmm... you'll start from scratch with your rank, but as for your position, you can be my messenger."

Bad luck isn't necessarily as mysterious as it seems, but believing in it won't hurt, and what if it really happens? What if he really does have bad luck enough to get demoted?

"Oh ho! I've got something to do!" Moore said excitedly. "The salary is negotiable. Let me tell you, even though I applied for this job voluntarily, you can't underestimate me. The salary will still be paid on time."

"The Navy has not had any cases of delayed salary payments so far. Okay, that's enough, everyone can go now."

Kuro waved his hand. "Everyone, get out."

The Navy has never experienced any delays or underpayments in its salaries, after all, the World Government is very wealthy.
