Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 2.1

“Teleport… teleport… teleport… Alright!”

On the fifth day of my work below the castle, I came up with a way to use teleportation magic for cleaning.

Despite being a flawed teleportation magic that can only move objects by a mere 1 millimeter, it turned out to be surprisingly useful for cleaning.

For example, even the dirt stuck to the toilet bowl could easily be removed with just the activation of teleportation magic, which recognized both the toilet bowl itself and the dirt as separate entities.

Especially the dirt on vertical surfaces became remarkably clean with just the activation of teleportation magic.

For horizontal surfaces, even though the dirt still had to be moved after using teleportation magic, it still shortened the cleaning time significantly since it could be lifted once.

“Boss, I’ve finished the assigned area!”

“Huh? Already finished? You slacking off, you bastard…”

“I’m not slacking off, sir. I’ve just started to understand the tricks of cleaning.”

“Shut up! I’ll check it myself, so show me where you worked!”

“Understood…”

They must have doubted my efficiency since I finished the task in about two-thirds or even half the usual time, but there shouldn’t be any issues with the results.

“What’s this? What on earth have you done!”

I got carried away and cleaned even the ceiling and outer walls of the toilet, so it’s natural that the miscellaneous work supervisor would be surprised.

“Well, I applied teleportation magic to cleaning…”

When I explained the method of cleaning using teleportation magic, the supervisor understood as well. It might have been good to mention that I wanted to be of some use even in my current state, unable to be used for combat.

From that day on, although gradually, my treatment started to improve.

After explaining my circumstances of sleeping in the storage room, I was given a room, though it was nothing more than a cell with a bed.

I started to talk a little with my colleagues in the miscellaneous work department, and although the meals were not particularly delicious, I managed to have two meals a day.

I no longer faced the stress of being berated as long as I didn’t meet my classmates, and I felt relieved from the stress that felt like it was eating a hole in my stomach.

At first, I thought I had only moved from hell to a slightly better hell, but now, while not quite heaven, I could live a little more comfortably.

About ten days after being transferred to the miscellaneous work department, I was ordered to work overtime by the supervisor.

“Yuto, after finishing dinner and taking a break, go clean the kitchen.”

“Alright, understood.”

After the supervisor left, my colleague Tariq, who was helping me tidy up the tools, tapped me on the shoulder.

Tariq was two years older than me and had a face so distinct that if he could sing and dance, he could be the lead in an Indian movie.

He was a nice guy who took care of me, especially in the harsh miscellaneous work department where I was a newcomer. However, he seemed like the type to be liked by guys but not so much by girls.

“Yuto, you don’t need to clean seriously. Just finish up wherever you think is enough and come back.”

“Huh, why?”

“The kitchen is dirty with grease and soot, and no matter how much you clean, it won’t get clean. Just clean the visible areas like the sink seriously, and the rest, just pretend to clean it.”

“I see…”

It seems that cleaning the kitchen is one of the tasks disliked by the miscellaneous work department.

Parties were held in the castle almost every night, and the kitchen was used until late at night to prepare the dishes for those parties.
