Six o’clock Four Islands – 1
A dawn that doesn’t even see the dawn yet. It’s a bit early to start the day, but it’s comfortable to be stuck in the office in advance because the system is bustling these days.
If you stay at the mansion for no reason, guests come to visit you, and if you move when others go to work, your way to work gets blocked. That’s difficult
So I carefully raised my body, but I turned around when I felt that my wrist was being grabbed.
“Rio… Are you leaving already?”
“Lana.”
As she stroked Lana’s head with her other hand, her eyes closed again.
Looks like a cat sleeping. Of course, it would be rude to compare people to cats.
“I wanted to have breakfast together…”
I quietly patted Lana’s back while closing her eyes. Certainly these days, I have been going to work without eating breakfast. Lana must be left alone and lonely.
Still, I can’t help it. If I’m in the mansion, crowds will flock to the mansion, and Lana will get tired as well. Wouldn’t she rather be lonely than tired?
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back in the evening.”
“Really…?”
Then Lana wriggled her body and held out her little finger.
“Yes, really.”
It wasn’t until after I put her finger on her that Lana fell asleep safely.
‘I’ll have to come early.’
Lana carefully got out of her bed so she wouldn’t wake up again.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to come early. I don’t go to work early because I have a lot of work, but since I start work early, I can leave work early.
Besides, Division 5 doesn’t have a lot of work even among the inspection departments. Compared to Section 3, where you run around all the time, it’s no different from an office job.
‘I hope nothing happens today.’
Since I became section 5, I have prayed every morning without missing a single day.
Unsurprisingly, this prayer was extremely rare.
Today’s prayer also failed. It’s not particularly surprising now.
‘Has something happened already?’
As soon as she grabbed the doorknob of the office, she felt it. There’s a glitzy mess going on out there.
But this life has been two years. Now, a rough estimate is taken. This is a mess that will not be a problem even if you enter the office.
Unsurprisingly, when I opened the door, I saw the 2nd section chief caught by the collar by the 1st section section.
‘It’s no big deal.’
I was relieved. I was worried that maybe my prediction was wrong.
“Ah, Section 5.”
As soon as I opened the door, Section 3 in the corner greeted me. Apparently, he hid himself in the rush of Act 1.
To be honest, the size of Section 3 is noticeable wherever it is located, but if it is now Section 1, only Section 2 will be visible.
“You’re here early.”
“You have to come early. There are a lot of people sticking around here and there.”
I nodded at the words of Section 3, scratching my head as if it were annoying. If it’s bothering me, other department heads will be the same. Everyone is going to work early with the same thoughts.
“The general manager is scary and we seem easygoing.”
“Isn’t the noble’s curiosity often overpowered by fear?”
“Huh, that’s it too.”
I absentmindedly watched the wrath of section 1 chief while exchanging meaningless words.
I felt a bit sad when I saw the second section fluttering like a paper doll while the first section was caught by the collar, but when I thought that it was self-employed, the feeling of regret disappeared in an instant.
‘That’s why I made fun of my mouth.’
When I thought of the incident a few days ago, I sighed. No matter how much alcohol is involved, there are things to say and things not to say.
A disaster that broke out on the spot at a dinner party where the officers of the inspection department gathered. Section 2, who was running saying he wanted to get drunk today, lost his mind.
“Hey, what are you doing now?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Chief 2, who was degenerating into a dog, barked at Chief 1, who was drinking in silence. To the 1st section manager who seemed to be in a bad mood lately.
“Sir Majonggong also met his prospective mother-in-law, but you were doing something.”
Chief 1’s hand froze at the giggling words of Section 2.
And the me who was watching, the deputy manager who was picking up the snacks, and the 3rd section chief who texted her wife that she was going to be late, all froze.
Rumors that Prince Ma went to the manager’s estate and that he had a close conversation with the Countess spread widely. It was an incident that informed the manager that he was seriously aiming for it, so the system is still noisy about it.
But the case was intertwined with Section 1.
‘I didn’t think the first section manager would do the same.’
I shook my head looking at the first section who had just put the second section on the floor.
It’s obvious if you link the Majonggong incident with Section 1. The fact that the head of department 1 also had a crush on the manager.
This is really, really unexpected. I thought that the 2nd manager was crazy and was talking nonsense, but the reaction of the 1st manager at the dinner party was enough to make it untrue.
“Gasp!”
Section 1, whose hands were shaking, hit Section 2 on the head with the glass he was holding. I almost marveled at the neat attack without any superfluity.
Unfortunately, though Section 1 won the battle against Section 2, he lost the battle against the truth. That bloody reaction was the reaction of someone whose feet were paralyzed.
“… Have you heard?”
Chief 1 turned his attention to us, leaving behind Section 2, who collapsed with wine spilling on his head.
“Huh? I was talking to my wife. What did you say?”
Chief 3, who was tinkering with the communication tool, succeeded in creating an alibi.
“I didn’t hear that.”
That word was enough for the deputy chief, who was the superior.
“…….”
“…….”
Exchanging breathtaking glances with section 1.
I couldn’t overcome that silent murder, so I was able to appeal to the fact that I was drunk at the end of the performance of crawling on all fours at a dinner party.
So officially, we don’t know who the crush is in Section 1.
“Ah, you two are here!”
“I just came.”
I instinctively nodded when I saw the head of section 1 looking back at me with a sense of relief.
Chief 1’s love, 1st rage. I don’t know anything.
This is a fact that only section 2 knows.
‘Cheer up.’
I quietly prayed for the second section wriggling behind the first section.
Of course, it’s all self-employed. No matter how far the chief of section 1 is from an ordinary woman, if he boasts of a lady’s unrequited love, he has nothing to say even if he gets beaten to death.
I don’t think I’m just getting hit.
‘I’m not in a position to brag about love.’
It’s funny when you think about it. We all know why he was in such a state on that day when Section 2 chief said he wanted to get drunk today.
‘The Minister’s wife’s nephew.’
I think I’ll laugh. Even if you touch it, do you touch that kind of person?
I even found out about our relationship with the minister. Thanks to that, the 2nd section was summoned to the minister’s office. That’s why I whined that I wanted to get drunk today.

No, maybe, since you were robbed for dating, you may have robbed the other person of their dating problems as well.
It is an amazing tenacity. The determination to never die alone.
‘I shouldn’t live like that.’
Always a great teacher on the other hand.
It was late in the morning when the deputy manager went to work.
“Ah, conductor!”
“Are you here?”
“Yes.”
The conductor let out a small sigh and his complexion was stained with fatigue.
Actually, it’s always been that way, but these days it’s gotten worse.
‘They all went to the deputy chief.’
This is an unfortunate phenomenon. The manager, who is in charge, is far away, and his subordinates, the chiefs, are hiding. In the end, the only thing left is the deputy commander, so only the deputy leader is suffering.
Actually, even the deputy manager can avoid it, but isn’t he in a position to manage the department as an assistant manager? Inevitably, he has to meet with other departments or other nobles, so he has no choice but to be caught somewhere.
“Are you all right? Rumors do not calm down, but rather flare up.”
Chief 3, who was looking at the haggard deputy chief, cautiously opened his mouth.
Definitely. Usually, rumors tend to subside over time, but this time, the system was getting hotter and hotter.
‘Although it’s not a rumor that will subside.’
Of course, this rumor is splendid. The marriage of Duke Majong’s companion who has been alone for over 100 years, and the Duke of Katoban, who even voiced voices that they might be disconnected.
But this is severe. As if someone spread it from behind—
‘Um.’
Instinctively, I stopped thinking. I almost got access to a dangerous secret. Useless curiosity only shortens the name.
“It’s okay. I can catch my breath from now on.”
After saying that, the conductor sighed again. Unlike before, a sigh mixed with subtle relief.
“The manager told me to turn all contact with nobles who have a lot of questions to him.”
“Oh.”
Manager 2, who was holding his breath, nodded his head in admiration.
‘I’m sure.’
It is a short and simple command, but the effect is clear above all else.
Very few nobles dare not dare to contact the manager directly. That’s why I’m robbing the conductor instead.
And if you’re a person who can ask the manager directly, you’ll be making fun of him a long time ago. For example, the minister, the minister, or maybe the minister.
“You guys should do the same. The manager has allowed it.”
“Okay.”
He responded quickly to the good news.
“I wanted to have breakfast with you…”
I remembered what Lana said before going to work.

Now, there is no need to go to work early to avoid crowds. It’s okay to go to work normally, so she can have breakfast with Lana.
I’m glad. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for a husband to at least share a meal with his wife?
When she thought of Lana, who would be delighted with this trivial news, the corners of her mouth went up.
“Yeah, it seems that Section 5 suffered a lot too.”
“Sure. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you smile.”
The road went down.

She sighed as she fidgeted with her comm.
‘If the conductor collapses, it’s in trouble.’
It was difficult to manage my mentality, so I didn’t even think of the deputy manager.
A complexion that seemed like it would faint at any moment if one more accident broke out. I could feel the hagginess even beyond the communication port.
So I told them to tell me about the things that bothered them. The expression is a little strange, but the meaning is roughly the same.
– Yes, sir. Thank you.
They even felt sorry when they said thank you.
‘Things I can’t even open my mouth if you tell me to talk.’
Several hours after I declared to the deputy director, ‘If you have any complaints, tell me’, my communication area was surprisingly calm.
I can’t eat the things that were so noisy when they actually serve the table. If there is anyone who contacts me, I was really thinking of talking to them kindly.
Of course I wanted this situation. Some crazy person said to the inspector general, ‘Sir, is that why you are the pillar of the Duke of Katoban?’ Would you like to ask a question
‘What is it?’
And as soon as I thought about it, the communication tool vibrated. A signal that a text message has arrived instead of a call.
[ Do you have a good relationship with Mare? ]
As soon as I checked the contents, I quietly closed my eyes. I couldn’t open my eyes again because of the miserable feeling. Because I think I know who sent it.
A character that seems to have absorbed a lot of alcohol in broad daylight.
‘Is this… Wise?’
I couldn’t contain my miserable feelings.
This isn’t Hyeonmyeonggong, it’s Juryanggong.
