My manager is not sick – 4
I was taken aback by Erich’s words.
But I quickly calmed down. That’s right, Erich is still a newbie at the academy who is engrossed in his studies. It would be unreasonable to learn an unconventional new truth in a position where it is difficult to learn the existing truth.
So it’s only natural to say that I’m crazy. How can you not be taken aback when a truth that is different from what you learn at the academy is unfolding right in front of your eyes?
“Someday you will understand what I mean.”
That’s why I tried hard to say it calmly.
Supari. Learn the knowledge, break the knowledge you have learned, and set out to find your own truth. That is learning
I patted Erich’s shoulder with that feeling. Erich, who is still 17 years old, has a long and long way to go.
“There will come a time when you won’t get too hung up on what you’ve learned.”
“Hyung never learned anything.”
This sh*t.
She was at a loss for words again when she was hit by a powerful stomach attack. There she cowardly cheated.
“And isn’t it common knowledge that her first wife was one?”
She couldn’t even open her mouth because she looked at her with a very pitiful face.
Still, I have to refute it. Limitations should not be set in the name of common sense. Being bound by that common sense hinders human development—
“What kind of fate are those who will be denied?”
“What?”
I was moved to tears by the small muttering of the voice. It was as if my opinion was causing harm to others.
I can’t do that. There’s no way I’m forcing my standards on people who like me. So I spoke up beforehand. Everyone will be happy if they become the first wife.
Although only Margeta spoke directly, she didn’t dislike Louise and Irina, who must have heard about it from Margeta.
‘It’s not compulsion.’

Now if you tell the head of Department 1, you will get everyone’s consent. Absolutely not my own. It’s not even forced.
“…Everyone said it was okay. It seems like they’re still unfamiliar with it, but they didn’t say they didn’t like it.”
“How can I say I don’t like it. Then what if I say there is no marriage?”
My mouth closed again at those words. If that’s the reason, my dogma is right—

No, no. I tried to speak in a soft tone. If you don’t like my proposal, I tried to create an atmosphere where you can easily decline.
“If I really didn’t like it, I would have turned it down.”
“In front of a madman who calmly says crazy things?”
‘No.’
Isn’t it just casually calling him crazy? Still, I’m your brother.
“If you say you don’t like it for no reason, you wonder if you’re leaving out yourself, and even if you say something wrong, you’re worried about what to do if your older brother gets weirder.”
Erich sighed and dragged a chair nearby and sat down.
He was like a civil servant who had no choice but to sit down because the report, which he thought would be over soon, took a long time.
“Louisé says your brother is a little ill.”
My eyes fluttered at the unexpected words.
I knew you were worried about me, but I didn’t know you were thinking that way. What if that kind Louise even brought up the word that she was sick?
“He would have asked me to help him.”
Erich sighed again and scratched his head roughly. Then another sigh, this time a dry face wash, another sigh.
I expressed with my whole body that I didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
“Brother.”
“…Yes.”
“Are you crazy?”
In the end, what I said earlier was repeated.
“First of all, words are good. Words are good…”
Erich let out an unknown number of sighs before speaking with a weakly tired face.
“If you put it another way, doesn’t that mean that everything is the end?”
An unexpected point. Is that even possible…?
Certainly, if you think there’s no one above you, you’re tied for first place, but if there’s no one below you, you’re tied for last place.
“Besides, there are several brides who should be the protagonists. Should we share the attention in her once-in-a-lifetime wedding?”
A sharp point. When she heard that, she knew it was a fatal problem.
Why did I only find out about that now? No, maybe you were knowingly ignoring it?
“Even putting a ring on during a wedding, kissing, holding hands and leaving… After all, the order is decided.”
“…….”
“It can’t be helped that the order is decided. Hyung is forcibly denying it.”
Erich said that and leaned back as if lying down on a chair. As if this is the end of what she has to say.
At the same time, his gaze was still fixed on me. In that gaze, she said, ‘If you deny even after I said this, you’re an asshole.’ Is it because of my mood?
And I felt the emotion of tears again at that gaze. Words are easy, words give simple admonition to anyone.
“It could be.”
A sigh escaped my mouth this time.
Yes, Erich may be right. Still in this era, the method of everyone being first may not be right. Marghetta, Louise, and Irina. It could be that they don’t like all of them, but they try to suit me.
By the way, so?
“So what?”
I wonder if I just thought of this method. I wonder if I’m doing this because I can’t give people who say they like me the order, and it’s crazy to divide the princess and the duke into numbers 1 and 2.
“You know that aristocratic marriage is an extension of politics.”
I have a crush on Marghetta. Thank you for liking this poor bastard. Far from falling short as a first wife, she is a person who deserves too much.
But Lord Majong intervened. Of course, I am also grateful to Ma Jong-gong, and I am seriously considering a relationship after the last time in the system. No, I’m already thinking beyond that.
Human Marghetta and human Majonggong are good. However, behind them are the Dukes of Valenti and the Dukes of Catoban.
“If you choose one of the two, the opposing duchy will be pushed back. It will be like the current director of the Inspection Department choosing one of the two dukes.”
It’s crazy. I have to endure it though. That is the duty of those who enjoy the right. Caring about the repercussions of each action I take. That is the duty of the nobility.
From the moment I let go of the Hecate I chose, from the moment I no longer choose someone first. That duty and duty came up on my shoulders.
“So this is best.”
Even if you say you’re crazy, it won’t lead to trouble. There will be no superiority or inferiority between the two dukes. So I chose this method. How to make as many people happy as possible.
And maybe my determination reached Erich as well, he didn’t even think about opening Erich’s mouth as he was about to say he’s crazy.
Finally, this older brother’s heart goes to his younger brother too.
“It was crazy.”

No.
My heart ached at the dagger that came out at the end of the silence.
“Brother, don’t make it too complicated.”
“You want me to think simpler than this…?”
Instinctively, he asked seriously. I’m not going to say it, but what could be simpler and hotter than a joint wedding?
“The order of wives is usually the order of marriage.”
“That’s right.”
That’s why I’m talking about simultaneous marriages and all.
“Marriage is the result of confession.”
“Isn’t it?”
I wondered why he said that all of a sudden, but I nodded my head because it wasn’t wrong.
“Then isn’t it right to just marry in the order of confession?”
?
“You graduate from the academy in the order you entered, and you get married in the order you confess.”
???
‘What is that?’
I think I’m losing my mind. Can we compare human affairs such as confession and marriage to admission to the academy and graduation?

No, but I don’t think that’s particularly wrong. If the order is really decided anyway, is the order of confession correct?
“And most importantly…”
Erich kept his mouth shut for a while and quickly looked around. Even though he knows no one is around, he tends to say something out of the ordinary when he sees him doing that.
“When the princess is pushed back, His Majesty the Iron-Blooded Ball gets angry, but when His Excellency Mahjonggong is pushed back, we can convince His Excellency Mahjonggong.”
‘Oh.’
As soon as I heard that, I stared blankly at Erich.
Are you a genius?
***
Leaving behind her older brother, who was immersed in contemplation alone, she slipped out of the club room.
And to Louise, who was hanging out in her corridors, she said she’d better leave her brother alone for a while. In a situation where she is barely clearing her mind, if someone else talks to her, it might go awry.
‘It was a simple matter.’
I sighed and went out of the building. Talking with his brother, it wasn’t a difficult problem.
It’s not that my brother’s worries are simple. Curing his brother’s madness was not difficult.
‘Even if I had someone by my side to tell me.’
It’s just that when hyung is crazy, ‘You seem crazy.’ It was a problem that could be solved even if there was only someone who could say. Even now, it was restored on its own by stabbing it.
Actually, even my brother knew. He knows he’s crazy, but he still has no direction, so he runs aimlessly because he wants to escape from reality.
But instead of blocking it, there is only one person who comforts me saying it’s okay, so this division is born.
‘Can’t help it?’
Okay. How many people can shout that they are crazy to the person they love.
Of course, there are younger brothers who can shout. At best, if you’ve bewitched Louise, you should make her happy, worrying about your prospective wife even before her marriage.
Still, I’m glad it went well. Judging from your expression, I don’t think you’ll talk about a joint marriage in the future.
“Erich! Where have you been and are you coming back now!”
And when he returned to the stadium where his teammates were playing soccer, Lew Thiss waved his hand vigorously and greeted him.
“The bathroom. You said you were going earlier.”
“Is that so?”
“I didn’t hear that.”
Tanian shrugged his shoulders. Clearly, he was right next to me.
These bastards, nobody really cared.
“Well, you came just right.”
Ryutis smiled as if he was happy, and threw the ball at me.
Once I threw and caught it, but something was strange. A ragged ball with some stitches. In the meantime, the wind goes in properly and is full.
“Back to jokgu again. This time with 3 to 3!”
“3 Vs 3?”
What are you talking about with five people? Is one of them air friends?
I looked around with that thought, but there was someone standing there who shouldn’t be here.
‘…Sir Villar?’
Why is that person here…?
As I stared at him blankly, our eyes met, and Sir Villar nodded his head with a slightly bitter expression.
“Because I think Later will admit defeat only when the numbers are right.”
Perhaps he noticed the exchange of glances between me and Lord Villar, Lutis burst into laughter and said,
Clearly, to La Terre’s surprise, he did not admit that he was the weakest. That it wasn’t a fair match because the numbers didn’t match, that you couldn’t judge your skill with such an abnormal game, etc. It was an ugliness that could not be imagined by the usual later.
That’s why Lutis summoned Lord Villar to make it 3-3.
‘Crazy bastard.’
Call a knight of the Royal Knights to play jokgu?
‘It must be fun.’
Crazy bastard, that’s why I liked it.
I entered the stadium suppressing my pounding heart. The worries about his older brother, which had remained subtle until earlier, had completely disappeared.
Yes, I have already done everything I can. I said that, but if it doesn’t change, it’s beyond my abilities in the first place. And I believe my brother will be fine.
“It’s going to be a best-of-three-out-of-three game.”
“If it’s usually neat, isn’t it a veneer?”
I made up my mind as I watched the members and Lord Villar slowly settle down.
Our jokgu starts now!
***
I was crazy.
This is the conclusion reached after careful deliberation. Even if he was really crazy, he was really crazy.
‘f*ck.’
I covered my face in shame. I wanted to die thinking of the idiot-like logic he proudly said in front of Marghetta, in front of Section 2, and in front of Erich.
I wanted to die even more when I thought of Marghetta, Louise, and Irina who treated me warmly after hearing that.
“Just thinking about it. Thank you.”
Marghetta’s voice patted my back and spoke softly. The voice echoed in my brain again. At the same time, my limbs shriveled.
Instinctively, I looked out the window. If you fall off your head, won’t your memory disappear?
‘It must be crazy.’
Still, running away with amnesia is cowardly. You have already surrendered yourself to madness and acted cowardly, and you can’t do that a second time.
I sighed and took out the communication tool. I have something to fix right now.
– Manager?
“Oh, it’s me.”
When I saw Act 2 with a nervous expression, I averted my gaze for no reason. Have I ever been so ashamed in front of this bastard?
“That’s what I said before…”
– Ah, yes.
And how long has it been since I’ve seen Section 2, which was so hard in front of me?
“…Did you tell anyone else?”
– That, yes. I told the minister.”
“What else?”
– None.
A sigh of relief came out as it was exactly the expected level and within the range of things that could be dealt with.
I’m glad. It’s good that only the minister knows. If that had reached the ears of the other chiefs, there was really no going back.
– …Chief.
But it was too early relief.
– Are you awake?
As if he had just noticed something with his question and sigh, the hardened expression of section 2 quickly turned into laughter.
“No, hey—”
– Hey Section 3! I’ll tell you some sh*t!
And without time to stop, Section 2 threw out the communication tool and disappeared.
It’s not easy to talk about a crazy manager, but it’s fun to talk about the dark history of a sane manager.
“f*ck.”
I want to die.
