Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy

407 – The Emperor Doesn’t Know Labor Laws – 3

From the day he distributed the bounty to the dying zombies until now, he hasn’t even looked at the assistant manager’s office. Probably until the last day.

Well, I am grinding my body and soul in real time to realize the last personnel transfer order of the situation, but if my boss snoops on me for no reason, my life span will be cut short. I know that feeling well.

If I were a paperwork specialist, I would do my best to end the suffering of those pitiful zombies, but honestly, intervening in a situation where the deputy chief is leading will only hinder me. If it doesn’t help, at least don’t bother.

‘If I stay still, I will go even half way.’

I don’t know who coined it, but it’s a wise saying. If you can’t be a competent and conscientious boss, it’s better to be an incompetent and quiet boss.

– Aren’t you eating too raw?

“Isn’t it better than burning everything and eating it yourself?”

Erzebet nodded her head with a serious face, as if she couldn’t refute those words.

The director of the previous inspection department proved how annoying it is to have a boss prowl around here and there. He wasn’t an incompetent bastard, but he was a competent bastard, so he was very damn good. Even Elizabeth hated talking about the previous head of the Inspection Department, so the suffering of the public officials belonging to the Inspection Department at the time was indescribable.

‘He was a crazy bastard.’

Even putting personal feelings aside, that bastard is a crazy bastard. Immediately after taking the position of chief of the inspection department, looking at the data left by the previous inspection department manager, I could only laugh at it.

‘Where’s the bastard who wipes out a village to find a traitor?’

It wasn’t even confirmed that there were traitors in that village, but they just pushed them away.

Of course, among the authority of the director of the inspection department, there is the right to execute at the regional level, but previous directors did not use it unless it was a really emergency situation. I haven’t written anything up until now either.

But he must have been the only one who used it like a meal. Seriously, when the 2nd Prince’s faction was overthrown, the bastard’s family was also destroyed.

– If the boss isn’t having fun, I think he should be quiet.

Ezebet also muttered in a low voice, as if she had reached that point.

Yes, the word fun sounds harsh, but it’s true. The boss is best to sit still. I hope the emperor realizes that too—

– Ah, the intelligence chief is also a quiet person, right?

“Uh.”

He nodded at Erzebet’s words that cut off his thoughts. She told me long ago that Division 1, which is in charge of interrogation, and Division 2, which is in charge of intelligence, were going to go to the Intelligence Department. Now, Elizabeth’s direct superior is the head of the intelligence department.

Fortunately, the head of the intelligence department is more than quiet and has a faint presence. A legendary Pokémon that is hard to find unless you visit it first because it’s an underground spirit in the office. At least he’s not the type to bother his subordinates.

No, but…

“The deputy information manager is the 2nd section chief.”

– What?

“When the Inspection Ministry is established, the 2nd section will be your boss.”

Unfortunately, the deputy director who will lead the departments on behalf of manager Ji Park-ryeong is the second department manager. It’s a lineup that makes your heart sting.

– Can I retire?

Ezebet, who was rolling her eyes here and there, asked cautiously. He seems to be distraught to think that Section 2 is not a colleague, but a boss.

Okay. Maybe it was Elizabeth who knew more about section 2 than me, my boss. Since he is in the same position, we were often stuck together, and there were many times when we collaborated because of the similar work.

“Can you?”

But I can’t give you the answer Elizabeth wants. How can a weak manager who can’t even give a vacation decide to retire from a manager?

If retirement was possible in the first place, I did it first. No matter how much a lover is, retirement cannot be conceded.

– What about changing jobs if you can’t retire? Aria-senpai also went to the empress’s palace, so she’ll need more maids, so can’t you send her there?

“No.”

Efforts to blink and look pitiful are imaginary, but that is even worse.

‘What’s wrong with the empress?’

What on earth did the empress do to live with Erzébet as her maid of honor? I know that the two of them are surprisingly close, but being close and hiring her as a lady-in-waiting are two different issues.

In addition, since the empress recently gave birth, she needs to be stable, and she has to rise to the noble position of empress and take care of the imperial family and the empire. But next to such an empress is Elizabeth? Hwabyung may come because she is not taking care of Erzebet’s eccentricities, rather than taking care of Erzebet’s eccentricities.

It’s too harsh an evaluation for a lover, but it’s a lover, so it’s an honest evaluation. The only way to control Erzebeth was to subdue her with greater madness, but it was a conscienceless thought for her to wish the empress to do something she couldn’t.

“Don’t worry, I’ll promote you when the time comes.”

So I tried to suggest a different direction and comfort you, but

– If I get promoted, the 2nd section manager will be promoted too! Then it doesn’t make any sense!

The logically perfect words flew in and I couldn’t refute them.

This is all because of exaggeration 2…

***

It is the best day ever. If my life is like these days, I think I will be able to laugh even if my status goes down to commoner.

‘Our fortune.’

Seeing my lovely son, Julian, sleeping soundly in the cradle made me smile.

As expected, no matter how many times I look at it, Christina and I look just like each other. Her downy blue hair was beautiful like Christina’s, and her blue eyes, now asleep and invisible, twinkled like mine.

I feel sorry for the future ladies who will already shine in the social world. It’s very sad to think that the ladies will get love sick because of our Julian. This father also made many ladies cry before meeting the mate of her life.

‘Even though that’s all an experience.’

Looking at the fidgeting hands, he smiled even deeper. If my son turns against the ladies, I will take the lead in punishing him, but simply having a lot of dating experience won’t be a problem.

Being popular and being trashy are two different things. All right

“Lafayette.”

“Ah, Cristina.”

While staring at Julian, she turned her head at Christina’s call from behind her.

Then she smiled bashfully and came over and hugged Christina. She hugged her Christina and kissed her on the forehead.

No matter how many times you think about it, the best days are right.

“As expected, it’s nice to see you here since morning.”

“hahahaha, that’s all.”

She laughed instinctively at those words. Being with the mate of your life, having a fruitful love is a happy thing, but it is also a happy thing to win a vacation thanks to that. Isn’t it possible to be with her family from the morning like this.

I got honeymoon leave, childrearing leave, and vacations that even the administration, which treats bureaucrats harshly, never touched them. Thanks to this, I was able to live a peaceful life even while the Inspection Department was busy with the establishment of the Inspection Ministry.

Even when Julian was born, it was unexpected that the Inspection Department would become a castle. Maybe Julian is a gift given by Enen for me who has suffered so far?

‘By the time the vacation is over, the founding will be in the final stage.’

It’s obvious. The deputy manager must be promoting the work on behalf of the manager, and the manager cannot overturn the work promoted by the manager. If there is a variable, it is the head of the information department, but since the head of the information department is also a person who is dying due to the existing affairs of the information department, he is not a person to engage in a war of nerves with the deputy director.

In other words, the establishment of the Ministry of Inspection is in progress without me having any room to intervene.

‘Perfect.’

So all I had to do was leisurely go to the Inspection Castle when everything was over—

‘Huh?’

As a habit, the telecommunications tool he carried around in his arms radiated light.

Who are you from this morning? Father or mother? Or is it your father-in-law or mother-in-law?

“This is Lafayette Baron.”

In case Julian could be awakened by the sound of conversation, he opened the distance and took out the communication tool.

– It’s me.

“Chief?”

And I frowned at the appearance of an unexpected person. I didn’t know you were the manager.

“No, can you contact someone who is on vacation?”

This is an unexpected contact. It is an unspoken rule of the Inspection Department not to touch people who are on vacation unless there is a real emergency. If the manager makes business contact with the managers while they are on vacation, the managers also make the manager’s vacation splendid.

The last consideration to prevent each other from dying. It was the inspection department’s vacation, but the director crossed the line. It’s pitiful.

– I’m sorry. Because I have something to tell you right now.

Of course, the probability that an emergency situation broke out is higher than the probability that the manager crossed the line.

‘It’s ruined.’

Instinctively, I felt that way. If the manager was in a situation where he contacted me while ignoring even the tacit rules, what the hell happened? I’d rather have crossed the line.

– Where are you now?

“…It’s in the system for now.”

– That’s great.

Anxiety started creeping up. You’re saying that it’s fortunate that you can bounce right away.

– Yesterday, a temporary list of officers of the Ministry of Inspection was prepared and uploaded to His Majesty, and all the subjects were summoned. It seems that he is going to be appointed as Giandae.

I accidentally swallowed my saliva.

“Me, manager? Why did you do that to me…”

The guesser had the contents, but he tried to deny it and opened his mouth. What the manager just said was, ‘That’s why I need someone to act as a substitute.’ Hope to win If that was the case, he grumbled happily, promising to help, he asked.

However, reality has always been cruel.

– I put your name up as deputy chief of information.

“…….”

The best days began to shake.

As I was moving to the Ministry of Finance building, I casually looked up at the sky.

‘It’s like a dog.’

It’s as clear as a dog. Not knowing my speed, the sky is just clear.

“The deputy manager? So you got a promotion? Congratulations! That’s great!”

It’s sad. There is no one who can comfort me in my pain. Even Christina, who was crying when she heard that she had to go to work while on vacation, smiled broadly and was delighted at the news of my promotion.

I know that’s a common reaction. Inspection Department executives who rose to the rank of executive at a young age and acted like dogs as soon as they became executives are unusual—usually, promotion is a goal that must be challenged throughout the life of a bureaucrat.

But we are the inspection department. He is a witness who observed in real time that the higher the promotion, the more painful it is. For us like that, promotion is a poison that deserves to be avoided as much as possible.

‘The conductor?’

Moreover, from the point of view of the deputy director living buried in paperwork, there is no word as terrible as the word deputy director.

I’m going crazy. Managers in their 20s are overflowing with fountains, but a deputy manager in their 20s? Does this make sense?

– Section 3 is the Executive Director. Just know.

But when I thought of the 3rd section chief who had risen from being a deputy director to a general manager, my heart sank a bit.

Yes, I am better than him.

And a deputy director in his twenties is much better than a minister in his twenties.

‘Ha.’

I decided to think so.
