I have too many bosses – 3
I’m definitely the manager, but I wonder what kind of torture it is to intuit the director’s jokes. Something even embarrassing Even if my mouth sometimes itches, I hold back, but the gangster in front of me does this without hesitation.
‘Maybe it’s because he’s older.’
Even if you feel unfair, when you reach the age of King Majong, you will feel sorry for him. Until that age, I lead a single life without children, not even married. That is the duty of young people dealing with the elderly.
“Baby? What do you think?”
But the feeling of pity for Jong-Gong Ma appeared in my eyes as well, and his hand, which was still stroking my hair, was straining.
“I also thought that if I had a sense like your Excellency, my subordinates would follow me more.”
“Oh, it seems that the baby usually suffers a lot. Everything will be solved with time.”
‘I don’t like that.’
Majonggong implanted the stigma of a terrible curse, ‘You will become like me when you grow old’. A wizard who has reached a high level is said to have power in that statement, but he became a little scared.
And apart from my feelings, Ma Jong-gong’s smile got a little thicker, probably feeling better at my words.
“It’s been eight years since I met the child you speak of. That was the only time I taught anyone magic.”
“Is that so?”
That’s fortunate. If Louise is the only one who passed on magic, it doesn’t mean that there are at least unknown students of the Demon Lord spread all over the place. It would be a problem if there were several of them, but if it was one, it would be within the range of what could be regarded as a whim or hobby of Lord Majong.
The extent of the emperor’s suspicions did not reach such trivial private life. I wondered what would happen if the emperor looked suspiciously at Ma Jong-gong as well. Well, since he’s a nobleman like a duke, I’ve probably already considered as many issues as I can think of.
Anyway, 8 years ago was when Louise was 9 years old.
‘It’s only been a year since then.’
In the free part, there was even a story about an 8-year-old. From the paid part, there is a part where you learn magic while getting entangled with the duke. Is this a trick?
“Actually, the boy didn’t know that the person who taught him magic was disrespectful. It’s a pity that he doesn’t seem to know that he’s had the fortune of a lifetime.”
“I didn’t want to make a fuss because I was traveling.”
The last question has also been answered. The fact that he hid his identity was just a whim during the trip. Certainly, being rather noisy while traveling for relaxation is a nuisance.

Now I’m relieved. It was embarrassing to have a sudden forced meeting with Ma Jong-gong, but I was able to know the truth from the point of view of the person concerned. Ma Jong-gong is not the type to lie about things like this.
“How is the child?”
“Oh, yes. He’s doing well.”
Prince Ma Jong took his hand off my head before I knew it and asked about Louise’s current situation. No matter how capricious it may have been, I wonder if he has any affection for teaching.
“When I first saw him, he had a gloomy expression on his face. I’m glad he did.”
At those words, I quietly nodded.
The truth that Ma Jong-gong told me was an ordinary story that ended up being nothing more than the story of how the heroine of Ropan got the chance. A result that is insignificant compared to her serious discussion with the principal. Of course, it’s more comfortable to have something trivial than to deal with a major incident.
With a good ending, the business with Princess Majong is over, so now it’s time to go back to the academy.
“Baby, give me another drink.”
“Yes, sir.”
But why doesn’t the elderly go back?
I carefully poured the tea into the teacup that Ma Jong-gong held out, trying to suppress the words that soared to the end of my throat.
Obviously, the reason Prince Majong grabbed my hair and summoned me to the Inspection Department was because of an invasion of privacy. He was forgiven, and since he had talked about Louise, he had nothing more to say. However, Ma Jong-gong does not think of leaving.
“Is the academy worth living?”
At that moment, a grandmother asked her grandson, ‘Is school worth going to?’ I felt like asking, but it’s something you should never say out of your mouth, so let’s just keep it in our hearts.
“Yes, I’ve gotten used to it.”
“I see. How fun it was to hear that Aga was going to the academy.”
“Haha.”
My pain must have been entertainment for our Excellency.
“When I go…”
Ma Jong-gong, who recalled his own school days, awkwardly put his mouth on the teacup, blurring the end of his words. I also quietly lowered my gaze at the figure.
Gong Ma Jong’s reluctance to mention his age is an open secret that is embarrassing to even call it a secret. Originally, it is said that elves are indifferent to age, but Ma Jong-gong is a mixed race, not a pure elf. He even lived with humans, not elves, so his values are closer to humans.

No matter how much he thinks his overwhelming age is natural in his head, his human heart will react violently with rejection. If you talk about your school days for no reason, you must have shut your mouth in a hurry because you were going to go with the flow of revealing only your age. Anyway, pretty much everyone knows how old Ma Jong-gong is.
‘He was a graduate 100 years ago.’
But this is also something that should never be said out loud, so I tried to keep it in my heart. In the past, it was Prince Majong who showed displeasure even when Cheol-blood was treated politely. I don’t know how to react if I, a mere successor, discuss my age.
“They say the academy has changed a lot these days. I’d like to visit it if I get a chance.”
“Even the principal would be delighted if His Excellency came.”
“So? I don’t know if there are any teachers left.”

No, please.
As my eyes trembled at the words that came out of my mouth, Ma Jong-gong lightly shook his head and said.
“But it must be difficult since you are also busy with magecraft work. It’s an opportunity to live in the same place as my baby.”
“I feel sorry too.”
Ma Jong-gong smiled softly, put down the teacup, and finally stood up. Then, the gaze directed toward my arm, which rises together to see off.
“Do you need it?”
“No, that’s fine. There’s still a lot left.”
When he tried to roll up his sleeves, Lord Majong shook his hand and refused. He was definitely selected right before being dispatched to the academy, so he deserves to remain. Even before the possession, the blood donation cycle was about 2 or 3 months? It’s a little tight to draw right now.
“I think good results will come soon, so look forward to it.”
“I’m glad my blood is valuable.”
“It’s fortunate that you think so. Stop by the Mage Tower later. You should go comfortably when you return.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
With those words, Prince Ma left the Inspection Department. It is always impressive to see her clean white hair, which shimmers in the sunlight, dragging on the floor. Although he says that he casts a separate spell and doesn’t get dirty no matter how much he drags it around.
‘Robot Vacuum Cleaner…’
Seeing that the spot where Majong-gong passed by is clean without a single speck of dust, it seems that the magic effect is definitely amazing. It’s like a real living vacuum cleaner.
If you are disrespectful, I sat down again with disrespectful thoughts. Come to think of it, he said that good results would come soon.
‘It’s faster than I thought.’
While going through the war in the north, I came to know about my physical characteristics that I did not know. Tough enough to get tired of, and incredible resilience. Thanks to that, I don’t know how many times I’ve been saved in the north, and Ma Jong-gong also paid attention to my weird body.
I was surprised to hear that a nobleman who had become a duke suddenly came to the Inspection Department to sell blood for experiments. Of course, I accepted it without much resistance because I had the experience of exchanging blood with two Choco Pies. It is not compulsory, but a fair price is given and taken, and there is no reason to refuse.
‘But what is the standard for Soon?’
The 120-year-old mixed-race elf standard is soon… First of all, it seems to be very different from the commonly used soon.

Not long after Prince Majong left, a knock was heard.
“It’s over. Come in.”
At the same time as the answer, executives rushed in. Only five people. It seems that everyone was gathered without anyone wandering around. No, maybe he was summoned in a hurry at the news of King Majong’s visit.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, no problem.”
I nodded to the deputy manager who asked as a representative. It was a conversation that ended without any problems. Even the conductor breathed a sigh of relief at the result, which was peaceful for the Duke himself.
“Manager, did you come here because you missed where we were? You’re not being honest.”
Chief 1, realizing that the situation was not serious, immediately started talking nonsense. When I flicked his hand, I was very upset to see him come running.
“Aww——!!”
“Don’t worry, we met for personal reasons, not work issues. Just work as usual.”
Pinching the lips of section 1, he explained to the other executives. This time, like the Golden Ball, it wasn’t because of a mistaken shot on the job, it was a disaster caused by my personal negligence. Even if you think about it again, it’s crazy, the chief of the information manager.
“No, what the heck is going on, is His Excellency Ma Jong-gong coming in person? He’s a hard person to see outside the Magic Tower.”
2 I touched my chin at the words of the chief, then opened his mouth. I wanted to keep quiet because it was a matter of the duke’s private life, but since it was revealed to me, it must mean that the information is safe for the Inspection Department to know.
“There was a nobleman who inherited your Excellency’s unique magic. I was trying to find out more, and His Excellency himself told me.”
“Inherent magic? I don’t know who it is, but I’m going to sell it. If you’re a disciple of His Excellency Majonggong, you’ll want to take it with you even if you’re just breathing.”
“Louise.”
Section 2 hurriedly bit his lip and distorted his expression. Everyone already knew that Louise was the manager of the club I was in charge of. I don’t know if I should burst into laughter, admiration, or comfort at the miraculous probability that the young lady in charge is a disciple of Lord Majong.
“That’s amazing.”
The conductor’s soft words spoke for everyone’s feelings.
“Eup— Eup.”
“Oh, yes.”
As I was about to let out a sigh, I heard a painful groan from the side. He kept holding on for a second.
“Do you want to go back right away?”
“I don’t have anything to do in the morning anyway. I’ll take a break while I’m here.”
“Okay.”
The meeting with Jong-Gong Ma, the reason why I didn’t want to be summoned to the inspection department, is over. He informed the principal, vice-principal, and Villar that he might be late. Besides, the club time was far away. He could take a little breather and then go back. It’s a small class for myself who has suffered so far.
While resting, the communication tool shone brilliantly.
“Ah.”
I came back for a while, but it seems that rumors have already spread.
I should have just returned right away.
