◆ Synopsis of Episode 6 of 'The Part-Time Life of a Hero and a Corporate Slave'
Kuzuru, who was on the brink of death in another world, suddenly wakes up in modern-day Japan. He is picked up by a beautiful woman who works at a game company, and ends up living the life of a corporate slave at the ultra-black game company. On top of that, his friends come to pick him up using magic that connects the other world and Japan, and Kuzuru ends up living a very busy life, traveling between the two worlds and working as both a hero and a corporate slave.
It's not just busy, but the hero's work of fighting monsters is of course a life-threatening job. In a rematch with his sworn enemy, the powerful monster Dullahan, he is beaten to a pulp by the opponent's strength.
However, it doesn't matter to Kuzuru who is working part-time, even if he is worn out. If there is a deadline, he rushes, and if the development environment changes, he responds as quickly as possible. That is the role of Kuzuru, a corporate slave.
On top of that, the Demon King's army is sending assassins after assassins to attack Kuzuru, who has now gained a heart of steel and the strength of a hero from his experience as a corporate slave. The succubus Lilimir is sent to the game company to spy on Kuzuru and entice him.
The monster was modified to emit a sound that Kuzuru dislikes, so strong that it makes him jump. Kuzuru has managed to fend off the assassins, but he continues to be worn down both physically and mentally.
One day, when he underwent a medical check-up at his company, Kuzur was given a prognosis for how long he had left to live.
It is always his colleagues who encourage and lift him up when he is down. In order to not let Kuzuru's sacrifice go to waste, his colleagues embark on a new, life-threatening battle to improve the company.

◆GSC Members Only Bonus Episode 6 New Character Making
Making of the new character, a female doctor, who appears in episode 6. This character was designed by cygnusil, who is in charge of illustrations. The original author only specified that 'there is no character with glasses, so make a female doctor wearing glasses,' so the initial design is as shown below. By the way, although the name is not mentioned in the story, this character's name is 'Levi.'
Once the general direction was decided, I considered changing the hairstyle.
In the end, the overall image was solidified with a tail that resembled a scorpion. Once the color and style were decided, we adjusted the outfit.
The hairstyle, color, and costume are as follows:
The final design is as shown below. The tail is designed to look like a scorpion, so the tied up hair at the back is also tied to look like a scorpion's tail, and the bangs are also sharp like scissors.
The following is the cover illustration that was rejected. In the actual cover illustration, a new character, Levi, is drawn alongside Valkyrie in her Grim Reaper form.
Below is an alternative design for the frontispiece.
