Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

chapter 9



Entering the Academy – 4

School hours are over by the time we get closer to the main building to avoid prying eyes from the students. The students who were sparsely visible were completely invisible, and I could only catch a glimpse of them in class through the window.

The result of avoiding the eyes came out as desired, but the cause of the result was not very good. If he hadn’t come back, he would have had time to get some tea in the principal’s office.

‘It’s not capybara, it’s catnip.’

Maybe Louise could be a catnip moon pink kavipara. As soon as I found it, the blonde man who turned around and avoided it was the only person of interest in Korea along with three people who had crawled in from abroad. 3Rd Prince, Ainter Liv Norman.

Wow, that’s where the 3rd prince comes out. Is there something that really enthralls people?

In that vast academy, Ainter was found near Louise at exactly the same time. At that moment, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps. Ainter itself is also a problem, but isn’t the fact that Ainter was observed near Louise that there is a possibility that the other three are also sufficiently twisted?

Forcible participation in Jeongmo, where all the people of interest gathered from the first day of dispatch? I never want to do that. It would take an open Welch’s to force it on me.

For a moment, I imagined being in a place where four important figures from the continent had gathered. Imagining something that even the Minister of Foreign Affairs couldn’t have experienced drained his mind so much that he sat on a nearby bench and stared blankly into space.

Since I am doing this at the academy, I feel like a student waiting for the university shuttle bus, but there is no such thing as a shuttle bus at the academy, and I am not a student. Does it make sense that the memories of a young man in his 20s from his school days are barely there when he brings up his memories before being possessed?

I grabbed my throbbing forehead. From the moment the dispatch was decided, the sixth sense, which had been trained while serving as a civil servant for four years, was constantly warning that life would be very difficult in the future. The problem is that even if you listen to the warning, there is no way to avoid it.

I could see the flying fists, but my body didn’t move, so I felt like I was being beaten. Reason and instinct opposed the dispatch at the same time, but the power of public power that pressed down from above made it possible. The most terrifying force in the world is public power…

I clicked her tongue once and got up from the bench and went back the way I had come. Since there are no students wandering around, it is time to finish the original purpose of figuring out the structure.

As it is an educational institution with many blue bloods, I inspected the large and splendid buildings, and occasionally moved to another building or saw students outside during break time, I passed by naturally.

It was only during school hours that I felt like I was becoming an animal in a zoo, but not now. In the first place, wouldn’t it be like avoiding students all the time while staying at the academy?

‘I’ll have to inform you that I’m an inspector by tomorrow.’

Every time our eyes met, I said, ‘Hello, Inspector General. I’m here on a business level.’ It is impossible to say hello and go around.

I saved a bird’s eye view of the entire academy in my head as I wandered around, looked around, and took out the communication tool. I’m done with what I have to do right now, so I’ll have to deal with it before I forget.

I called the deputy manager using the communication tool I took out from my pocket. After vibrating several times, the conductor’s face came to mind shortly after.

– Long time no see, manager. Did you arrive at the academy well?

“Uh. I arrived in the morning, but I just contacted you because I was doing something else for a while.”

– I’m glad you didn’t have any problems.

In fact, as soon as I arrived, problems poured in. The main characters, Louise, Erich, whose ending of ‘You’re a good friend’ flickers before your eyes, and Ainter, who is attracted by the catnip moon capybara.

But there was no need to worry the conductor by adding such words. To be honest, the deputy chief isn’t very helpful in this dispatch. I quietly kept the names of Louise and the other two in my heart.

“Well, that’s right. But I saw something strange on the way.”

– Please speak up.

“There must have been a time when the budget was cut in the name of road maintenance to the academy. But it’s a mess.”

Track it down and rob it all.

The conductor nodded his head in agreement without questioning even when he was instructed to buy something from the local market. That was the decision to deal with the nameless local governor who had climbed the top row of the killing department in the carriage.

This was the last gift for the Treasury Department Express Carriage, who shared a small friendship through a long and difficult journey together. Friendship preserved, express carriage…

– I’ll take care of it and report it. Do you have any further instructions?

“No. Oh, everything is fine there, right?”

– Yes, nothing happened.

Fortunately, the chiefs seem to be quiet. His expression softened a bit as he felt relief. Since there was no contact from the conductor, there probably wouldn’t have been an uproar, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious. He was relieved to hear that there was no problem.

“Yes. Working hard. If anything happens, call me right away.”

– Okay.

Since there was no further business, I cut off contact with the deputy manager for the last time. At least, the conductor remains in the office, so you don’t know how relieved he is. Without even the deputy chief, it would be obvious that while the reins of the country were released, the eccentricities of the chiefs would pile up without knowing how high they were. In the end, the Inspection Department would have been blown up in the air by the enraged minister.

‘Is it better?’

If the department is destroyed in the hands of the minister, I will have no choice but to take responsibility and retire as director. Of course, if you are a minister, there is a high probability that you will create a department that did not exist and put me in there like a punishment unit.

However, imagining the possibility of retirement, even if it was briefly, made me feel a little better. I put the communication tool back in and moved lightly.

***

After confirming that the communication was cut off and Carl’s face disappeared, the conductor put the communication tool in his arms and opened the door right behind him. The room was quite noisy, so it wasn’t a very good environment to communicate with the manager, so I stayed out for a while.

As soon as I opened the door and went back into the unfavorable environment, a great party unfolded before my eyes.

“Chief 3’s whole body joke party! I’ll show you something!”

“Hee hee, hee hee hee hee.”

“Kuh, hey! Manager, your glass is empty!”

Out of the three bastards, Section 2 is uniquely noisy. Even where there is no manager, they are looking for a manager. The conductor looked away and saw a portrait of a human-sized doll sitting in the director’s seat and a knife attached to the doll’s face. And Act 2, which staggers slightly towards that place, pours alcohol into a glass placed in front of the doll, and then sprays it all over the portrait.

“Enjoy your meal, manager!”

Chief 2 giggled and filled the empty glass again. The doll, which was placed roughly to create a good mood, gradually turned into a real manager in the mind of Section 2.

Compared to the scourge of this disillusionment, the trigger of the incident was surprisingly trivial. Due to the fury of the sword, the placards and plans for the party to celebrate the academy were scattered in the air and torn to shreds.

However, if you’re the head of the inspection department, you won’t give up on what you’re trying to do with such trivial variables. Section 1’s comment, “If we couldn’t hold a party leaving for the academy, why not have a party upon arriving at the academy,” Touched the hearts of Sections 2 and 3.

After clearing the morning hours by postponing or pulling the work of each department, the department heads prepared the party by jumping on their feet.

“If it’s this size, it’s roughly the size of the manager, isn’t it?”

“Wow, this has been glorified as a portrait.”

Since there is no real sword, the opinion was passed that we put a portrait of the sword on a doll and put it in the manager’s position. The fragmented placard in Carl’s hand was also glued back together, hanging right above the doll.

[ Ah! Flowery academy life in your 20s! ]

In the meantime, I threw away unnecessary letters and attached them like rags. It is a necessary education for an inspectorate official to put things back together. Restoration that only matches the assortment in moderation was not a task.

The tattered placard, which was born due to the original sin that the sword stopped burning rather than tearing, boasted a majestic appearance. The conductor’s gaze, which had been looking at it, went down.

As our eyes turned to Section 3, who was doing somersaults in front of the doll for the manager, and Section 2, who was pouring alcohol over the portrait again, Section 1 saw the conductor enter the room and handed him a drink.

“Eat the conductor too!”

Without hesitation, the deputy manager received the glass given to him by the head of department 1 and drank it at once. The deputy manager had already had six drinks with the managers before he was contacted by Carl.

“Isn’t there a big deal there?”

A word that Carl spat out with anxiety and nervousness during the previous conversation. To that, the deputy replied confidently that nothing had happened. In a way, it can be said that it is a false report to the immediate superior, but…

‘I’m rather anxious because I didn’t have an accident.’

Lamentably, the deputy director saw the section chiefs throwing a party, and said, ‘They don’t have an accident.’ I was thinking. If there’s something Carl didn’t anticipate, it’s that the standard for ‘accidents exploded by managers’ in the deputy director’s mind was very broad. The conductor didn’t care as long as the gourd wasn’t leaking outside. I know that if I forcibly block the leak inside, it will cause a mess outside.

Until now, the deputy chief’s tendencies were not revealed because the chiefs had been paying attention to the knife and adjusted the leak even from the inside, but unfortunately, the knife was not there.

The deputy director, who was watching the first section manager frolickingly pouring into the glass the deputy was holding, met the eyes of the fifth section manager who was quietly in the corner. The conductor nodded his head. Section 5 also nodded. And the two of them emptied their glasses casually. Even now, it doesn’t matter if you wake up drunk on your own in the afternoon when you have to start working.

The party for the sword without a sword went on like that.
