Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 46

Our fair is open normally – 5

We were able to finish the last day of booth operation with a complete sale. It is a splendid and legendary feat for a club created this year. It seemed that Louise was quite happy to smile brightly every time our eyes met. If I knew I would love you like that, I would have lived every day.

“Thank you for listening to my personal request.”

“Considering the hardships the Inspector General is having, I can listen to this as much as I like.”

“You still have to take the money. It’s difficult if the bureaucrats don’t make money transactions with civilians.”

“Haha. Is that so?”

I met with the vice-principal in front of the inspector’s quarters to pick up the cookies, and I barely gave the money to the vice-principal, who refused to pay. Anyway, it’s true that I bothered the sympathy with a personal request, and it’s also true that I forced them to spend money.

And I think I heard the sympathy principal as a joke, but I really get in trouble when public officials talk about money matters to civilians. Being caught and imprisoned by the Ministry of Prison Affairs isn’t particularly nice. They’re the ones I’d be reluctant to meet.

“The Inspector seems to have a lot of affection for his men.”

“I’m glad you see it that way.”

I also responded with a smile to the vice principal who was talking with a smile. At least from the point of view of the principal, it means that I look like an acceptable advisor. As much as I have suffered so far, I am satisfied that the image has been properly captured.

Then, I watched until I couldn’t see the communion’s back, and then I checked the size of the cookie bag in his hand.

‘The quantity is definitely small.’

Fortunately, it is not at the level of mass production experienced in the club room. On the last day, I thought I would throw away most of Louise, so I made a little, so it’s a shame. It’s the right amount to fill with a meal alone.

In addition, there is no schedule for tomorrow except for the ranking announcement in the auditorium and the evening banquet. The presentation is also held at noon, so you can eat at your leisure. Because you don’t have to go out in the morning.

It is obvious that the confectionery club will be the first prize anyway, so there is no need to go and see it in person, but it is still an advisor, so his face must be reflected. It’s cumbersome, but what can I do? If you have a business card in your hand, you have to move according to that business card.

I had never been to an academy auditorium before. At most, it was enough to see the outside while walking around the academy. I haven’t seen the inside because I haven’t had a chance to go in, but it was a pretty huge building from the outside.

‘It’s big.’

And the inside was magnificent. A structure with a vast first floor and a second floor overlooking such a first floor. If the seats are full, you can believe it is a concert hall.

“The first floor will be crowded, so why don’t you stay on the second floor?”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

As I was looking around the inside of the auditorium, which was still quiet, the assistant principal next to me suggested that I sneak up to the second floor. I agreed because I thought it would be good. All kinds of students and faculty will gather on the first floor, but it is burdensome to be in between them. It’s better to look down from the second floor.

Once I went up, the stage didn’t feel too far away. It’s to the extent that I can see Louise being suspicious.

‘Even if I clap here, I can hear the stage.’

I nod my head in satisfaction. After choosing a good location and waiting quietly, students began to gather on the first floor one by one. There’s still some time before noon, but I’m sincere. I’m not the first to say anything.

The first floor was quickly filled with people, and only a few faculty members and the student council came up to the second floor. It’s awkward even on the second floor, which is far away because there aren’t many people, but what if I was stuck on the first floor? For now, there must have been an awkward silence instead of the current bustle.

‘No.’

I found the student council everywhere on the 2nd floor, so I naturally looked for Marghetta, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find Marghetta. Seeing that the president is not in sight, it seems that the two of them are giving an award.

It’s an awards ceremony alongside a princess. I’m a little concerned about the president’s mental health. Still, I must have developed some resistance from living in the student council. I believe that as a future civil servant, I will endure that much.

At noon, the ranking announcement began. Contrary to expectations, it was not Marghetta and the president who gave the award, but the president and principal took on the role of moderator and presenter, respectively. Where is the Margherita? Does she have something urgent to do?

‘Then they wouldn’t be here.’

Except for the president on stage and the invisible Marghetta, the entire student council was on the second floor. If Marghetta had anything to do left alone, she would rather have asked one of them. Of course, it’s something inside the student council, so it’s not something I, as an outsider, have to worry about. Because I seem to have other things to worry about.

Her brown-haired schoolgirl was coming towards me as I turned her attention to the sound of her shoes getting closer. It wasn’t the student council, it wasn’t Louise’s friends whom she happened to see on the first day of dispatch. A first-time student she has no memory of.

When I turned my gaze to myself, the girl only smiled, but she still didn’t stop her steps.

“Hello. How are you?”

When he arrives in front of me, he gently lowers his head and greets me, but I don’t know who he is. It’s difficult to pretend to know one-sidedly.

“I wanted to meet you at the cafe, but I’ll meet you here.”

Ah.

At those words, I let out a small sigh and held out my hand. Then she shook my hand and a female student who shook my hand. In her hand, she naturally felt the texture of a piece of rough paper.

He is also the deputy chief of information. Even if they were stationed at the academy in case of emergency, I thought they would have withdrawn as the 1st section chief and the Mukwangdae had already withdrawn.

“Are you still here?”

“I came back a while ago. I have something I need to see in person, so can I do anything?”

When I asked while swallowing the blank piece of paper, the deputy chief of information shrugged his shoulders and said lightly. However, a deep tiredness permeated his every action. If translated, ‘I came all the way here again for important information that cannot be conveyed through correspondence.’ Because it means

The deputy chief of information who came all the way to the academy to deliver such important information, and me who had to listen to the important information that the deputy chief of information had to deliver himself were miserable.

“The burial of the corpse is over. I thought it was a corpse without relatives, but fortunately, the bereaved family was also found.”

“That’s good news. Was there a lot?”

“About three? Less than I thought.”

He silently nodded at the words of the deputy chief of information.

‘There are three traitor families.’

Bereaved family. It was a metaphor for the family associated with the third glory, now more familiar with the name corpse. That there were as many as three traitor families that came into contact with the rebels.

Of course, as the deputy chief of information said, it was less than grandiosely talking about the revival of Apels. Rather, it could be said that three is a lot.

“Did I mention something that wasn’t too funny? Let’s watch the awards ceremony.”

“That’s right.”

I and the deputy information manager, who were facing each other, turned our gaze to the first floor at the same time. Then, as the deputy chief of information took out a small scroll from his pocket and quickly tore it up, a faint film enveloped the surroundings and disappeared.

“You won’t hear our voices for five minutes outside.”

“How does it look?”

“You can see the figure as it is, so I’ll do it in short form.”

The deputy chief of information cleared his throat and opened his mouth in a serious voice that did not match his disguise.

“Chief of Inspection Department Carl Krasius, uphold the solemn decree.”

I bowed my head slightly in front of Hwangmyeong. Originally, kneeling and bowing would not be enough, but it was an action that was possible because it was abbreviated.

As I bowed my head, the deputy chief of information continued, a noble deputy who is now an envoy to the emperor.

“Eimanka, the great emperor, received the call from heaven and restored the mandate of heaven, and the whole continent praised the great emperor who reestablished the mandate of heaven, which had been polluted by hypocrisy and greed. In honor of this, Livnoman, the descendant of the great emperor, defended the mandate of heaven and brought order. Since it maintains its dignity, how can there be a place where its majesty does not reach?”

The rhetoric is quite long. Seeing that he even mentioned the Great Emperor and the Mandate of Heaven, it seems that the Emperor was properly heated.

“However, there are those who dare to hide in the dark and disrespect the legitimate guardians of a thousand. How can I not lament this. The great emperor protected and many loyal servants punished the wicked, but they still honor Livno in the dark. It’s a pity that there are people who don’t.”

Hwangmyeong ran toward the end. In this situation, it is obvious what kind of instructions will fall. It was only natural that the emperor’s anger was already contained in the first sentence.

“Therefore, the only legitimate and sole ruler of the Kpelofen Empire, Corvus Eimanka Livnoman of Kpelofen, orders. Inspector General Karl Krasius obeys the solemn decree of the Emperor and sweeps away the traitors who are trying to shake the world. Make it peaceful.”

“I will uphold the solemn imperial rule.”

That’s it. With just a few words, the fate of the three noble families was decided.

Only then did the deputy chief of information calm down and sighed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

“Isn’t it too harsh for the conductor to convey the imperial order?”

“What can I do? That’s what His Majesty wants so strongly.”

No one can convey a solemn imperial order, and even more so in an abbreviated manner. If it is a bureaucrat, it is possible to act at least at the ministerial level. However, the deputy chief of information conveyed the Hwangmyeong in an abbreviated manner while being a deputy chief, not a general manager. I probably wanted to cry inside.

But what can I do? It seems that the emperor is running out of time to select ministerial-level personnel and send them to the academy.

‘He must have gone awry when he heard the name Apels.’

The revival army of a country that was already destroyed 300 years ago was revived in its own generation? It is understandable even if he threw down the royal seal in anger. Even saying there’s a noble family that’s been in contact with that damn revivalist, he’d really want to kill it.

“I passed the information on to the deputy inspector general, but I still don’t know how related the three families are. It could have been a simple transaction without knowing that it was the Apels Resurrection Army, or it could have been a really active act of treason.”

“Is it important?”

After briefly answering the deputy chief of information, the deputy chief of information shrugged his shoulders again after being silent for a moment.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Yeah, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s a simple transaction or an active participation. It is undeniable that they were entangled in acts of treason. It doesn’t change the fact that you’ve been in contact with the Third Glory.

“The guy who made his way through the blood of his comrades.”

I quietly closed my eyes as the memories resurfaced. That bastard went too easily. But things that helped the bastard remained.

When I opened my eyes, the deputy chief of information had disappeared before I knew it, and at the end of the award ceremony, I saw Louise receiving the trophy from the principal. As congratulatory applause poured in, they seemed quite happy to lift the trophy.

Looking around, Louise managed to find me on the second floor and smiled broadly, and I replied with a smile as well. Congratulations, Louise.

‘It’s fortunate.’

Louisé made unforgettable memories.

‘It’s really fortunate.’

There are still people to kill.

With a satisfied heart, they started clapping.

Today, the crystal ball in my arms felt particularly heavy.
