85 – Kidnapping Case – 2
Two weeks later.
“You’re the youngest! “Please process these documents!”
“Yes!”
After hearing the administrator’s words, Luna quickly ran over and received her documents.
“You’re the youngest! “This too!”
“Yes!”
“You’re the youngest! There is a complaint outside… “
“I’ll just do what I’m doing now!”
The administrators were looking for only the youngest. As Luna has outstanding administrative skills, having already received a perfect score in Krusenstein’s exam, she managed the administration of Salzburg without difficulty, and the administrators treated Luna like a treasure complex… Instead of crawling, she was having fun.
Luna’s handling of work was truly fantastic. She did several portions on her own and she didn’t make any of the common mistakes. Her superhuman speed and concentration made all of her administrators greedy for her.
“Aren’t you planning on quitting the academy and working here? “Our estate pays a lot of money even though the work is hard.”
“No! “But I still have to graduate!”
“Ah, there’s no need to graduate if you’re like that. “I’ve learned everything there is to learn.”
“It’s not that bad!”
If that gentleman finds out that Luna is the heir to the count family, he will move on to her. Why would the heir to the countess work in someone else’s estate? This was all because Luna didn’t reveal her origins. If she had revealed it, she wouldn’t have been able to roll this hard.
Meanwhile, with Luna drawing aggro, I was able to learn the job relatively comfortably.
“For some reason, I feel like I’m getting the hang of it… “
That illusion occurred to her for a moment, but she decided to look away. I was working hard in my own way. It’s just that Luna is too superhuman…
“Isn’t he tired?”
Sometimes I felt like I wasn’t human when I saw people working all day long and working after work. Maybe it’s a robot. Since it’s a fantasy world, wouldn’t there be robots?
As I was working in such a compressed form, I gained a certain level of familiarity with the internal affairs of the territory, and the accumulated issues were being roughly sorted out. However…
“Youngest~ Stay here~”
The administrator called, but Luna did not respond and was just blankly watching.
“What is the youngest doing? “I asked you to come here.”
Despite the second call, she continued to stare into space.
‘Why is he like this?’
Looking at her closely, I saw that her normally pale skin had turned reddish.
“Are you okay?”
Luna was startled when I suddenly touched her shoulder and she answered.
“Yes! “I’ll be there soon!”
After doing this, he was told to run to the administrator.
‘Is it okay…? ‘
I was a little worried, but it had nothing to do with me. I continued what I was doing.
And that night, after work was over.
“Kaaa~”
I was chewing grilled skewers with beer. It was a southern-style dish made by marinating pork in a mixture of spices and fruit juice and grilling it over charcoal. It was a unique taste that was hard to find in the northern part of the empire, where spices and fruits were not abundant, so I always ate only this.
“I can’t believe I can eat food like this cheaply. Should we just leave it in the South?”
I thought about that for a while, but when I think about political movements, the North is much more advantageous than the South, so I decided to stop.
“Let’s just enjoy this time.”
I’ll be back soon anyway, so let’s eat as much as we can while we can. While I was thinking that and enjoying the skewer, I felt someone passing by.
“Uh.”
Looking closely, it was Luna von Ruytwert. She was walking along with a somewhat lost expression. For a moment, I thought about calling her, but she wasn’t that close to me, so I just quietly watched her find an empty seat and sit down.
But her gait seemed very strange. She felt like she had no strength and every time she walked, a sound effect of trudging would be heard.
‘Isn’t this too much of a stretch these days?’
I thought so, but I’m not the type of person who doesn’t push myself just because they tell me not to push myself too hard, so I just decided not to worry about it. However…
“Please give me a beer and a serving of pea soup.”
After finishing her order, Luna sat in her usual posture with her back straight. However, unlike usual, I noticed her head bobbing.
‘What? ‘Are you sure it’s okay?’
The moment I thought that.
-Sharply
Luna suddenly sat down and fell next to her. The attention in her store was focused on Luna.

“Hey! Are you okay? Miss!”
Other guests flocked to Luna. She was naturally attracted to the woman wearing the Arcadia Academy uniform. I immediately ran over and helped Luna to her feet.
“We are acquaintances. Please get out of the way.”
People saw my uniform and started getting out of the way. Since she wore the same uniform as Luna, she thought they knew each other.
“Hey. Are you okay?”
She tried to talk to her, but she didn’t come to her senses. Her face was red, so I placed my hand on her forehead and saw that her forehead was flushing.
“This…” “
I immediately picked her up, carried her to her dorm, and laid her on my bed. Then he ordered a servant to call the doctor. The doctor who came soon examined me with serious eyes, then wiped the sweat from my forehead and spoke.
“It’s just a cold.”
“A cold?”
“Yes. It seems like it’s been a while since it happened, but it’s strange. “If I had just rested properly, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“That’s… “
There was a point. She didn’t even get off work these days and was clearly overworked.
“Is your condition very bad?”
“Not really. You will get better if you take the medicine and rest for a few days. Instead, you should never overexert yourself and just stay in bed.”
“Really?”
I was glad to hear it. If it had been a serious illness, I think I would have felt guilty for working without paying attention.
“The important thing is absolute stability. If you ignore it as a cold and overdo it, it can lead to a bigger illness like pneumonia. We recommend that you make sure it is absolutely stable.”
That’s… It’s not something that will work out the way I want, but I think I have to do my best first.

That night.
“aaah!”
A tearful scream brought me out of my slumber.
“What, what!? What’s the matter?”
I woke up and looked around, but nothing much happened. Luna woke up, hugging her pillow and looking this way.
“Da, why are you here? “How did you get in?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Here is my room…” ! Uh?”
Only then did she realize that something was different and looked around her.
“No…” Go?”
“This is my room.”
“Why did you bring me here! I didn’t think you were a just person, but you crossed the line… ”
“No!”
What on earth do you view people with?
“B-but my clothes, my clothes… !”
Luna said with her face turning red. Come to think of it, Luna’s uniform was folded next to the bed, and Luna was wearing her pajamas. She started to have tears in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry.
‘I can’t help it if I misunderstand this… ‘
I immediately walked away from her and began to explain to her in a calm voice.
“I know what you’re thinking, but don’t misunderstand. “I called a maid to change her clothes.”
“So why you!”
I explained what happened so far. Starting with the fact that Luna had a cold, she collapsed while eating, and if she overexerted herself further, she could develop into a serious illness. After several explanations were given to her, including that she absolutely had to take it easy, she lowered her head as if she had finally understood it.
“But you can’t ignore someone you know and just come when they’re down. “I think I made a common sense decision, so it would be wrong for you to be angry at me.”
“… “
“If you understand, don’t make a fuss and go to sleep. Your body will heal when you rest well. “I’ll tell the administrators, so don’t go to work for a while.”
“That’s not possible.”
I was surprised by her surprisingly firm answer and asked back.
“Didn’t you hear me? If you overdo it, it can develop into a bigger illness. “You need to rest well to get better.”
“But I have work to do.”
“It’s not your territory. It wasn’t your job to begin with. But why are you so obsessed? “Why do you sacrifice your own health to do good things for others?”
It’s something I’ve been curious about from the beginning. Why on earth does she mess around with other people’s business like this?
Then, after thinking for a while, she carefully opened her mouth.
“Because they are nobles.”
“Yes? What does that mean?”
Is there any relationship between being an aristocrat and doing good things for others? But before she could explain, she quickly fell asleep.
“Ha… “
I’m bound to lose strength because I’m screaming at the patient. Anyway, the temperament is dirty for such a small topic. I laid her down again, put a pillow on her, covered her with a blanket, and laid her down on the floor again.

The next day, when I woke up and went to get ready for work, Luna was not in my bed. I was shocked and looked around.
“What the f*ck, there is nothing. “Where have you gone?”
I originally went to Luna’s room and knocked on the door, but she didn’t come out. She went down to the first floor and asked the servant, who said she had already gone to work.
“This is crazy. “I explained it like that yesterday!”
I immediately put on my uniform and followed after her. Percussion! When I opened the door to the government office, I saw Luna. Luna was working hard on her paperwork as always.
“Are you feeling okay? “I saw you yesterday and you looked like you were having a hard time.”
“I got better after a day of rest. Do not worry.”
“Really? Then I’m glad. Anyway, it was going to be a big problem. “Without you, things wouldn’t work here at all.”
We are having that kind of conversation. I was dumbfounded and immediately walked over to her and snatched the document she was holding.
“What are you doing?”
Luna shouted and everyone’s eyes focused on this.
“I told you that if you push yourself further, it could worsen into pneumonia. “Go back to your room and rest right now.”
At those words, the administrators began to mutter.
“But without me, things won’t work here…” “
“What if I go back without you?”
“What does that mean?”
I put Luna’s papers down on her desk and sat down.
“Quill and ink.”
“Huh?”
“Quickly.”
“Huh, huh? Okay.”
The administrator brought a quill and ink. And I quickly proceeded with the paperwork while sitting down. At that moment, everyone’s eyes widened. That’s because, unlike my usual slow pace, I was working at a speed comparable to Luna.
