After finishing all the work, I began to see the red light slowly rising over the ridge.
“… … The sun is already rising.”
After moving the magic stones and collecting and examining the newly acquired data, morning came before I knew it.
It was a time when I was sipping a mixed coffee I found in a corner of the warehouse to chase away fatigue.
“young master. Everything has been sorted out.”
Han Seo-joon reports how hard he worked, not knowing that charcoal black was smeared on his clean face.
“… … okay? Which team will stay?”
“yes. Alpha and Gamma decided to secure the area first and then set up camp.”
The mine where the magic stone came out was a very rare place in the world.
It is absurd to abandon such a place.
“okay. I’ll explain to my father and the concilieri separately, so tell them to suffer for a while. Oh, did you give me a satellite phone?”
“yes. We have arranged to call every 30 minutes.”
“It’s okay. Shall we go soon?”
After stretching and drinking all the remaining coffee, I visit the space wizards who were waiting in advance.
The space wizards who had already come over here and were waiting thanks to the report on the phone in advance.
As I approached them, they bowed their heads to me.
“Do you want to go back?”
“huh. I’m sorry Jiyoon, but I need to rest today.”
I’m sleepy too.
Even now, my eyes are tired, because I was confident that I would fall asleep if I lay down on the bed right now.
Then the wizard nodded as if he understood.
“Cheolkeol- Certainly, the young master is still tall as long as he sleeps. I’ll prepare it right away. Can only those who are going to return to the mansion go upstairs in the circle?”
As he said, step up onto the circle drawn on the floor with the other corps members.
“Since we have already fixed the coordinates on both sides, the recoil should not be too severe. Then, everyone suffered.”
“That one is just a little bit more difficult.”
The activation motion of space magic that I have become accustomed to now.
A momentary flash occurred with purple mana covering the surroundings.
“… … Damn. You said the recoil wouldn’t be severe?”
As I was still frowning at the recoil of the space magic that I was not used to, I could see my father and Concilieri who had come to meet me before I knew it.
“father? Godfather?”
“Eugeneaaa!!”
As soon as our eyes met, Consillieri ran up to me and hugged me tightly.
“Great job! You are truly the treasure of our family! The best! Ugh! Ha ha ha!”
Concilieri’s hug.
The first time in my life, I received a warm welcome, and my father smiled at me when I was confused.
“It’s been a mess ever since I found the magic stone mine. There won’t be a shortage of money, but what’s so good about it.”
“Don Carlione! what do you mean by that The more money the better, and the more money the better. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Apparently, he reacts like this because he also manages the family’s assets.
I was expecting it in Australia, but I didn’t expect it to be so intensely liked.
Who would have known that at this age, I would receive Dunga-Dunga.
“Dae, godfather. I’m a little frustrated now.”
“huh? Oh, I’m sorry. yes yes You worked hard, so you should get some rest.”
A body finally set free.
“Oh, as you said, we are currently looking for the number of people to send to Australia. Coincidentally, there weren’t enough warehouses to put the thugs you caught recently or the criminals from the foreign area, but they must be happy that you even found a job like this. It would be more free than here where you can’t do anything. hahahaha!”
I was wondering who they would take to Australia, but I never thought they would use the guys we had on hand.
That’s what I always thought, but Concilieri really… … .
“That is a great idea.”
must be a genius
I’m sure they would prefer Australia, with its expansive grasslands, deserts and trees, rather than waiting for the day to die in a warehouse.
In addition, thorough health care through steady exercise!
hmm. It is a very humane treatment.
Callione, a pro-social enterprise that builds a job creation system for criminals.
This may be more of an item than I thought… … ?
“Consillieri. Soon Eugene will have to sleep, so I’ll send her off first. My son has been through a lot, so now… … Shouldn’t we take care of the aftermath?”
“I guess so. yes yes don’t hold me anymore Go in and get some rest.”
Looking at the two of them still smiling, I bowed my head.
“Then, let’s go in first.”
“okay. Let’s take care of today’s work tomorrow. Others will want to get some rest now too. … … yes?”
At the same time as the father’s question, the voices of the troops came from behind.
“““Thanks for the consideration of money!”””
The others seemed to be tired as well.
As I entered the mansion with such a tired body, I could see an unexpected person standing there.
“Yes… … brother… … .”
A girl rubbing her eyes while hugging a teddy bear similar to her own size.
“Jiyoon. Weren’t you sleeping?”
It must be early morning in Korea, where the time difference is slower than Australia, but Jiyoon was waiting for me.
“Because the bar is noisy… … Because my brother is coming… … haam.”
Ji-yoon, who was mumbling to see if her sleepiness hadn’t gone away yet, yawned.
A younger sister who came out to meet her older brother at dawn.
“thank you. I’m going to be sleepy, so hurry up and go to sleep.”
“yes… … .”
It felt so good just like this. It seemed like I could get more rest today than usual.
* * *
I opened my eyes and checked the time on the table clock.
14:00.
Wake up in a time zone that you can’t even dream of normally.
“… … You overslept.”
I miraculously woke up from the bed, washed my face dry, and stood up.
After lightly showering, I came out and met Alessia’s eyes standing in front of the door.
“… … What are you doing?”
“I was guarding the front because there was an order from Consilieri not to disturb the master’s sleep.”
“what?”
I paused for a while at her answer that I didn’t understand.
Slowly things began to clear up.
“Concilieri stopped you from waking me?”
“yes.”
“They say to silence footsteps when other servants pass by?”
“yes.”
“and… … .”

No matter how much it is, it’s burdensome to be treated like this.
“Oh, then what about Jiyoon? Today is Sunday, so the tutors won’t be coming?”
Anyway, there was something strange about it.
Currently, Alessia is Jiyoon’s maid. that she is here
“Ah, your friend went to play.”
“… … friend?”
“yes. The granddaughter of the elderly Kwak Chun-sik. He said he was going to visit Yuna’s house and moved with money early in the morning. I heard that Don also has something to talk to Kwak Chun-shik.”
Elderly and father?
Hmm, something smells like an event.
… … what. I’ll let you know later.
“And, Concilieri has been told to come to the library if the young master coughs. Maybe, I’d like to go right now, but… … .”
It wasn’t too hard to guess why my godfather was calling me.
He was probably called because of work in Australia.
“Then I’ll go right now. Thanks Alessia.”
Alessia bowed her head at my greeting and walked towards another place.
I also left her behind and went to visit Concilieri, who must be suffering under the mountain of documents by now.
Concilieri’s study still has a very static atmosphere from the surroundings.
Perhaps they knew that they shouldn’t make noise around here, but the birds outside the window didn’t even sing, focusing only on grooming their feathers.
“Godfather. This is Eugene.”
As we talked with a light knock, a low voice came from inside.
-okay. come in
As I stepped inside by pulling the handle down and pushing the door, a different landscape unfolded than expected.
Papers piled on your desk? same.
In the meantime, a neatly organized study? same.
The smiling Consilieri?
Something was strange.
“I… … godfather? Are you doing anything good?”
“Good things? Isn’t that natural? Unexpectedly, a huge amount of income rolled into the arms of our Carlione. Come on, can you see it over there?”
Then, the godfather stood up and put his hand on my shoulder.
At his fingertips, he could see the stack of papers piled up on the right side of the desk.
“That’s an agenda that was dealt with early in the morning. and next to it. Can you see the papers?”
Bundles of papers the size of two fingers, much smaller than the number of items handled.
“Those are the papers that I will finish today. Do you know how this was possible?”
Of course, I had no way of knowing, so when I shook my head, he grabbed my shoulders and said,
“It is ‘Magic Stone’. Thanks to the magic stones you brought this time, things that hadn’t progressed are starting to unravel one by one. Natural magic stones are quite precious materials.”
… … Certainly, it would have reduced the work time.
At that time, it seemed that some familiar words had crossed over the godfather’s desk.
“Is that, is that the document you just signed?”
“hmm? Ah, is that what you mean? okay. Normally, I would have rejected the bill saying not to be funny, but… … I thought it would be okay to invest this much since the family has enough capital.”
“Can I see you for a minute?”
“then.”
As I lifted the papers on the desk, I began to read the contents.
“Academy cafe… … Investment demand for Cielo notturno? The claimant… … Latte?”
Why are his papers here?
As I look at the documents with a bewildered expression, the godfather smiles as if he is having fun.
“I want to raise the hourly wage because the skills of the children I recently hired are getting better. Normally, I would have rejected it, but… … Come to think of it, I paid for it because it was also your business.”
If it’s the recently hired kids, are they them?
“Just looking at it, it seems that I submitted it in documents like this because I was afraid that I would get scolded if I asked first.”
“How is it? There’s no way Latte would lie, and above all… … .”
—Actually, I’m getting a lot of interesting information from there.
Having said that, the godfather sat down in his chair with a satisfied smile.
“funny… … You mean information?”
“okay. However, it’s not fun to talk about work as soon as you wake up, so it’s right to give the reward I said first in the morning, right?”
Saying that, Concilieri leaned down and lifted something from under the desk and placed it on the desk.
“ruler. This is the reward I prepared. Even though it’s something I used to use… … It’s because I can’t come up with anything other than this that would suit you the most among the things I have in hand right now.”
Swoop. and the box slides in front of me.
“Check it out.”
I swallowed my saliva at his words and slowly reached for the box.
An item used by none other than Dominic Adanvanto, ‘Shadow in the Darkness’ and ‘Carlione’s Consillieri’.
As I slowly opened the box, I noticed a black ring inside.
