Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

253 – 5+1 – 3

Only me and the 2nd section chief were left in the office, which was crowded when I went to work.

Everyone has their own work, and it’s the end of the year, so it’s difficult to stay in one place because we have to put together the documents submitted by each team leader. It’s strange to gather in the manager’s office, leaving your department’s office in the first place.

“Why are you here?”

So it was the moment when it was proven that the strangest bastard was Section 2.

“Hey, I tend to take care of what I have to do first and rest.”

“No, so why are you resting here?”

This bastard thinks this is the break room.

But despite my clumsiness, Section 2 didn’t care. I just giggled and put the canteen to my mouth. In the meantime, the faint scent of alcohol seems to have been filled with alcohol in the canteen.

Yes, just drink and stretch. It’s better than being awake and bothering me.

“Did Section 1 ring again this time?”

Unfortunately, as soon as I finished thinking, I quietly raised my left hand to bother him. It is best to show through actions rather than words.

“Yeah.”

Section 2 exclaims as soon as he sees my left hand.

It’s an understandable reaction. The thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and hand. It looks like he has a half ring on his left hand.

“Isn’t it cool?”

“It’s cool, but I don’t want to copy it.”

“A bastard.”

I burst into laughter at the reaction of section 2. It’s not like I like it, so I can’t help it if others don’t like it.

I’d rather have an even number of rings on my left hand and right hand, but as if I was aiming for five rings, this kind of disaster broke out. If you have an odd number, you’re worried about which hand to wear more.

“But you’re faster than I thought? I thought you’d move on to next year.”

I shook my head lightly at the 2nd section manager who mumbled as if he was puzzled. Section 2 is the person who heard my absurd remarks about our joint marriage and my ring purchase drip. Of course, I definitely figured out who the people who confessed to me were.

But it seems that I didn’t know that I would be able to answer those people before the year has passed.

“When did you see our predictions come true?”

“That’s right.”

Of course I didn’t know either. Our lives don’t go the way we want.

“Anyway, congratulations. Being happy is enough.”

Chief 2, who drank again, gave a gentle smile, different from the giggling earlier.

“There is a sense that it happened too suddenly, but the manager has a heart, so it must have been a decision.

I also smiled at the words of congratulations and advice that warmed the world.

“Have you got a date?”

“…Yes.”

He blew a sneer at the rapidly descending gaze.

The remark I just made was a very calculated one. Now that his marriage is imminent, he hastily requested a power outage. A plea to keep quiet and not hit each other’s weaknesses now.

It’s obvious. This bastard is not a bastard to say warm words with pure intentions. It’s been 2 years, but I don’t know how much.

“Yes, congratulations.”

It was obvious, but I accepted it. If the fight is prolonged, I will lose because I have to get married five times. Better to end it here.

And there was a strange silence in the office for a while.

‘Marriage is the grave of life.’

A place where those who will soon enter the tomb and those who will enter the grave five times gather.

It’s quiet.

Today’s commute from work was a bit long. I had to go all the way to the Masalo family’s mansion because of the head of section 1 who was struggling to get off work together.

It’s a relief that we’re on our way, but how long would it have taken if the mansion had gone in the opposite direction? The island is quite wide, so it is difficult to get around on foot.

“Are you going to work tomorrow too?”

“Would you like to?”

“Hey…”

I threw an iron wall at the first section chief who spoke while twisting his body.

I don’t know how to get off work in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to go to work together. How can I adjust the time to work, but the time to go to work is all different.

“By the way, manager. Can’t we share it? It’s a bit odd to see.”

The main entrance to the Marsallo Mansion. Section 1, who was about to enter the mansion, quietly opened his mouth. It is said that he is ugly because he has five rings on one hand.

“Should I wear only yours on my right hand?”

“A real bad boy.”

I burst into laughter at the sight of Section Chief pouting his lips. I just explained why Section 1 had to be in one hand.

“You might think it’s discriminatory if you share it.

At first, I tried it, wondering if all five of my half rings would fit on my ring finger, but it was impossible.

I can put it in precisely, but I can’t bend my fingers. I just can’t do it.

“Then what if I put on another one?”

Instinctively, I grabbed the first section chief’s lips because he casually said something terrible.

But this isn’t bullying. It’s just a little skinship between lovers, or an act of rebuking a lover who said bad things.

“I’m not saying that.”

That’s why I said it slowly. It’s hard to get one more stuck here. Isn’t the feeling of five that can be counted with one hand different from six that can be counted with two hands?

A long time ago, when my memory was fuzzy, even Golden Ball said that. He said that he thought hard about getting married when he could count them on ten fingers, but when the ten passed, he was liberated.

On the subject he said so, he stopped at twelve.

“mmm!”

Fortunately, the head of section 1 also patted my hand vigorously and nodded as if he had reflected on himself.

He’s mischievous, he’s not sorry for his intelligence. Once you’ve said it right once, you’ll never say it again.

“Yeah, but I don’t know about people…”

Perhaps it was my misunderstanding, as soon as I let go of my lips, I started talking again. It’s sad. It hurts my heart to hurt my prospective wife.

As I quietly reached out my hand out of pity, Section 1 quickly shut up.

‘…It’s worth worrying about.’

In fact, Section 1’s concerns are not without grounds. A person who has already worn five rings. It is not strange if one more increases in a day.

“If it grows, you should split it half and half. What can I do?”

He patted his head with his outstretched hand.

Of course, I don’t think it will increase further here.

After the chain of confessions has already broken, is there anything more left to burst?

***

The manager patted my head a few times and then went back. But I’m older, you know I’ll like it if you pat me like this?

Of course I like it. I am confident that he will like it even if I stroke his chin.

Of course, now is not the time to indulge in such trivial pleasures.

‘It would be difficult if it was later.’

Looking at the manager’s reaction, I really think I’m the last one to confess. There are four in front of me, but no back.

Even the four in front are Princess Marghetta, Princess Majong, and two students at the academy. It’s bittersweet that the kids who met the manager later than me confessed first, but that’s not the problem.

‘There is no Fenelia.’

This shouldn’t be the case. Not without Fenelia. Fenelia obviously likes the manager, too.

However, no matter how far north they are rolling, they cannot be contacted. Thanks to that, in the situation where you and I both confessed to the manager, only Fenelia couldn’t move.

Besides, it seems that the manager is already hardening his five wives. In a situation where all the confessions are over, the year goes on to the next year?

‘No.’

It becomes even more disadvantageous. The burden of being five to six, the burden of moving from one year to the next. It is a shackle that can never be ignored.

So I asked the manager what it would be like if a ring was added—

“If it grows, you have to split it half and half. What can I do?”

…First of all, ‘This will never happen!’ It seems that the same worst was avoided, but even so, a casual expression was seen without filtering.

‘Really, what are you doing?’

I tried to hold back a sigh, but I couldn’t. Now, it was not Fenelia, but the Ministry of Special Affairs and Enen who were resentful. Why did you send out at such an important time? Why did the incident to be dispatched occur at a time like this?

With a miserable feeling, I quietly took out the communication tool. I won’t answer today anyway, but I have to contact you once a day. That way, you can look at the accumulated contact list and contact me—

– This is the master of ink light.

?

Of course, I got a call that I thought I wouldn’t reach. Fenelia’s face appeared for the first time since the subjugation of the Red Wave.

My hair turned white due to the unexpected situation, but I quickly regained my senses.

“Hey! Why did you take it now!”

I’m glad though. I got it before the year was over

And Fenelia’s face frowned slightly at my cry.

– I’ve already been scolded by Yuris. You can stop talking

I don’t know who Julis is, but it seems like there was someone who was just like me.

***

As I got closer to the mansion, an unexpected situation caught my eye.

‘Who are you?’

A brunette girl chattering with the guards. There are only two children the stern and serious guards will be familiar with. In the first place, there are only two brown-haired girls in my mansion.

“Ah, Master!”

As I slowly moved forward, the girl who spotted me bowed her waist. Hearing your voice, it’s Yuris.

She nodded to the guards following Julis in greeting, and stroked the head of Julis, who was wandering around outside alone.

“You finished your work and went outside, right?”

“hehehe, of course!”

“It’s still cold, so let’s play inside.”

I turned Julis’s body towards her mansion and pushed him.

Little is very anxious when playing outside on a cold day. Even if you simply fall, you can get seriously injured compared to other seasons.

“The owner goes in too.”

“Yes.”

It was only natural that I headed for the mansion alongside Julis.

Then he patted Julis’s head again and opened her mouth.

“So, what are you trying to say?”

I felt her head tremble at those words. He’s a bubbly and smart kid, but maybe it’s because he’s still young.

‘It’s obvious if you wait all of a sudden.’

She doesn’t like the cold, so there’s no way that Yuris went outside just to play. She really would have been with Sofia if she was just to play.

Then, it means that she waited for me, not knowing when she would come. I have something urgent to tell you.

“Hey… Master…”

“Yes. Feel free to talk.”

What does the little girl want to say to her master? Based on my experience so far, Julis is not a kid who particularly wants something big.

A dessert that is at best a mouthful? A bonus that enriches your wallet? Maybe it’s a banquet that can make you feel like the end of the year and the new year.

“Fenelia, what do you think?”

I tilted my head at the unexpected words. Why is Section 4 suddenly?

“He’s a good kid. He’s good as a bureaucrat, and he’s good as a person. Where can you find someone like that?”

Of course, the answer came quickly. Section 4 was nothing short of a light to me, who was suffering from a trio of unreasonable managers. Thanks to the lineup of deputy chiefs, 4th and 5th directors, I was able to live and breathe.

Besides, he’s the one who led Division 4, the home of those guys and me, and he’s polite and has a good track record.

He’s a kid who doesn’t even have a bad point…

“How about as a woman?”

At those words, the hand stroking Julis’ head stopped.

Isn’t it? Isn’t that what I’m thinking now?

“Fenelia is also a wonderful woman.”

However, Julis put a wedge into it as if denying my idea.

A question like this at this timing. As someone who has experienced a series of miracle confessions, I can’t help but not know.

‘…Sixth?’

I was speechless. I thought it was over, but there are more?

“Then what if I put on another one?”

I remembered what Section Manager 1 said.

A prophecy, was it…?
