Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

My manager is not sick – 2

Inspection Department Division 2. Assistance rather than combat, more precisely information gathering as its main task. Thanks to that, most of the inspectors from Division 2 don’t stay in one place, but wander around all over the place to gather information. Of course, there is no need to run from the eastern end of the empire to the western end thanks to the appropriately divided areas.

And as a manager, my area of responsibility is institutionalization. No wonder. If I, who has the heavy responsibility of being the manager, is not in charge of the system, who will manage the system?

Some stupid, naive guys might be upset about having their boss in the system while they roll. But the unchanging truth that can be said confidently every time.

“If you twist, you’ll get promoted.”

It’s the general manager’s habit of speaking and I also use it. Before I became a section chief, I really rolled around like a dog. What’s so wrong with being promoted now and living comfortably?

Besides, it’s not like I just breathed and became exaggerated. It is a prize that was proudly won by winning the gamble of one’s life. Two years ago, as soon as the manager came to power, I quickly attached to him and got my current position.

Anyway, since becoming a manager, I’ve been confined to the system. Unless it was really unavoidable, it was rooted in the system and never moved. If you are a gentleman with ambition and know the taste, isn’t it the way to live in the system?

‘Should I at least look for a place in advance?’

And these days, that commitment has become even stronger. Even after I die, I will erect a tombstone in this system. So that the wind of the island can stay in my ears.

“Chief.”

“Oh, are you here?”

Senior team leader in charge of drafting and metropolitan area with me. It’s a familiar face because we usually have a drink together, but these days it’s even more so.

“Rumors are spreading rapidly. Now, in the metropolitan area, even in small towns, it is spreading even knowingly.”

“Awesome.”

Because I’ve only heard pleasant reports from the chief team leader.

‘Thank you, manager.’

I sincerely thanked the manager at the academy. How true a boss he is that he directly causes interesting incidents in case his subordinates who only stay in the system are bored.

Now I don’t even have to pay my own money to see the play. Free, even exciting plays are bursting with forgetfulness.

‘I also reciprocated.’

I was overwhelmed with pride. Under a true boss there are true subordinates. Since the manager threw a fun play, I moved a little for the manager.

It’s nothing grand. From early in the morning, the fact that the manager and Jong-gong held hands and went to the magic tower was spread like crazy. It fanned the rumors that would have spread even if left alone, making it even faster.

The goal is small. Spread throughout the empire before the New Year’s celebration.

“Any other rumors?”

“Totally buried.”

“Perfect.”

I was even more proud. The best way to stop a rumor is to cover it up with a bigger one.

Chief 1’s sobbing in front of the manager was covered by the fact that the manager was homeless at the National Cemetery. And the incident where the director was homeless at the National Cemetery was completely covered up with the Ma Jong-gong incident.

I’m sure the manager will be happy too. Didn’t his subordinates cover up his embarrassing past? In addition, it covered up the ugly rumor that Prince Majong wandered around the island crying in the middle of the night.

‘This is a sense of reward.’

I should make a formal proposal at the year-end meeting. Ask for a bonus for the whole of Section 2 for protecting the manager’s honor.

“Good job. Let’s just go like this.”

“Yes, chief.”

“A drink after work?”

“Good.”

The chief team leader grinned and left the office. The head team leader will choose a place to have a drink together.

‘If only it was like these days.’

And as soon as the head team leader left, he buried himself in the sofa. Job satisfaction is very good these days. If you live like this, you can do it for another 20 years.

‘Chief 1 seems fine too.’

In addition, these days, when the manager gives pleasure outside the inspection department, life inside the inspection department is also very enjoyable.

Chief 1 naturally draws attention whenever rumors about the manager’s pink love spread. I used to pay attention to section 1, but now I don’t have to.

“It’s okay! The manager is the guy who caught my eye, and he’s bound to be popular!”

“Then isn’t there a high possibility of being stolen?”

“Hehe! The general manager is not the one to abandon me!”

It’s amazing to think about it now. How the hell did he bewitched the first section manager, who would have reacted sensitively in the past, smiled and moved on.

Of course, this is a positive thing. Thanks to Section 1’s unfounded confidence, I was able to move without hesitation.

‘Please have a good ending.’

I prayed briefly, remembering the smirking face of Section 1. Because as colleagues, I can wish you happiness.

Please be happy, section 1.

‘I will find my own happiness.’

I took out a communication tool from my chest. And as soon as I saw the communication phrase, I laughed reflexively.

Ma Jong-gong Incident… If you say this, it’s confusing with the Crown Princess’s birthday banquet. Roughly, I haven’t contacted the manager since the second Mahjonggong incident. If you call now, it’s a monumental first contact.

My heart is pounding. What kind of expression will the manager make and twist his whole body?

‘This taste should be inspected.’

My mind became calm. If the manager had not been the current manager, he would not have lived in the inspection department for long.

– What is it? Why did you contact me again?

After activating the communication tool, I saw the manager’s face shortly after. With an expression that he would kill me if I contacted him for useless business.

“Hey, Manager. How are you doing?”

– Do you see it?

“No.”

– Bastard.

He burst into laughter again at the fast-flying double desire.

But if you just make fun of it, the manager will cut off the communication unilaterally. It can’t be.

“These days, the system is noisy. There is no day to be bored.”

– … ….

At those words, the manager’s mouth closed again.

I am currently at the academy, but I have been active in the system as a high-ranking official for two years. If you don’t know what the current system is like, that’s a strange situation.

“I have good news and bad news for you.”

– What is it?

“First of all, the good news is that everything you slept on the ground was buried.”

The general manager’s expression softened a little as if he was fortunate.

“You know what’s bad…?”

– sh*t.

It didn’t take long for the curse to come out again. Still, seeing that there is no different reaction, the manager knows that this is the best.

Yes, how much effort did Section 2 make for this result? What can I say, it’s a true boss.

“I’m looking forward to this New Year’s celebration. I think we’ll bet on who the manager’s first wife will be.”

Since nobles are also human, they place bets on exciting events. Who will answer correctly, and in what direction things will flow.

Who will be the duke or the princess as the first wife of the incumbent inspector general? Even if His Majesty the Emperor forbade betting, this would have to be done secretly.

“Can you tell me a little bit about it? I’ll give you half of the others.”

Now that I have conveyed everything to the manager, he threw the last provocation. Now, the manager told me not to talk about it, so hang up—

– Everything.

…?

“Yes?”

– Everything.

“…What is it?”

– First wife.

At that point, I looked around for communication outlets that hadn’t lost contact yet.

What is it, is it broken?

Why is the sound transmitted strangely?

I calmed my heart, which was still pounding in a bad way, and moved to the minister’s office.

To be honest, I’m afraid to go to the minister’s office on my own feet, but I was the first to notice this terrible disaster. As the first discoverer, I have a mission to report quickly.

– Does the first have to be one?

“No, that’s a social commitment—”

– Social commitments change over time.

The appearance of the general manager talking like a teacher teaching students. When he remembered the scene, his head throbbed again.

Yes, that is correct. Social consensus can change depending on circumstances. However, it is an unchanging agreement that the first wife is one. Just as the sun rises in the east and water flows from top to bottom, it is an unchanging truth. That’s something that can never change no matter what the situation is.

“…Yeah, that’s cool.”

– Right? I thought you would understand.

It’s hard to understand, but I guess you understood. However, if I rebelled there, the manager didn’t seem to let me go.

So I pretended to agree. Just pretending to do so seemed to erode my sanity, but I was the only one who could report the state of the manager, who had already gone mad, to the minister.

The Minister’s office arrived with the determination to save the manager. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

– Knock Knock

“Minister. This is Lafayette Baron, the second section of the Inspection Department.”

“Come in.”

This spirit of a manager going straight to the minister skipping the deputy and department heads. It would have been impossible for me just a while ago, but now it is possible.

“What, have you already decided on a wedding venue?”

The minister, who was on duty, raised his head slightly and opened his mouth bluntly.

My body instinctively shrank at those words. Since the minister found out about his relationship with Miss Cristina, I’ve been really struggling every single day.

“I came here because I have something important to report.”

“Marriage to Christina is not serious.”

Crazy, that’s why it flows like that.

“I’m kidding.”

Fortunately, the Minister gave a big smile and put down his pen. As if to tell me what that important report is.

I inadvertently swallowed my saliva. I have to report my superior’s madness to a superior superior. Where the hell would you go through such a terrible thing?

You have to do it anyway. At least the Minister should know so that this situation can be rectified. You have to be a boss, not a subordinate, to be able to cure the madman.

“The general manager is crazy.”

In the end, he closed his eyes tightly and spat out. No need for long words. Suffice it to say crazy.

However, the response was lukewarm.

“He was originally crazy.”

‘No.’

I was at a loss for words.

And at the same time I was convinced. Certainly, originally, if I were to choose between a normal person and a madman, I would be closer to the latter.

“More crazy.”

After hesitating for a moment, he added softly.

And only then did the minister’s expression harden a little.

“…More than usual?”

I quietly nodded.

In that situation, it took more courage than I thought to report that the manager made the absurd remark that he would make any princess or duke his first wife.

Even the minister was silent for a while after hearing the report.

A chilling silence descended upon the minister’s office.
