Einter watched as Karl quarreled with the woman he had called his subordinate.

"Advisor teacher, surprisingly, you tend to get along with your subordinates in a casual way."

"That's right. It's really surprising."

When he heard Lyutis's voice mixed with laughter next to him, Einter responded appropriately and shut his mouth again.

Even Lyutis didn't pay much attention to Einter, paying attention to the woman who was sitting on the ground and chuckling. If you look at it in a situation where you don't know anything, you'll see a young girl grumbling.

'Is it Manager 1?'

He didn't say who Karl was, but there was only one manager, a female subordinate with white hair. Einter's complexion darkened slightly, convinced of the woman's identity as Section 1.

Although departments belonging to the Inspection Department perform common tasks, each department has its own specialized fields. One of them specializes in interrogation, and more explicitly, it specializes in torture.

It is notorious enough that there is a saying that death is mercy rather than being arrested as part 1, and once you enter, you will never be able to get out on your own feet. There is even a joke that the number one cause of retirement of Inspection Department officials belonging to Division 1 is trauma caused by watching all kinds of torture.

I can't say for sure if it's really just a joke, but it's clear that the worst of it will happen in Lesson 1 no matter what kind of floor you imagine.

'The gap is severe.'

But the woman in front of me is the manager who leads the first lesson. I know that the average age of the officers of the current inspection department is very young, but I didn't know they would be that light in private.

A witch, a young woman who enjoys bathing in blood, or a woman whose hobby is to hear the screams of prisoners while directly tortured when bored. That was the rumor in the public about Erzevet Masalo, the first head of the Inspection Department.

Of course, due to the infamous nature of the Inspection Department and the rare nature of meeting in peacetime, all kinds of bizarre rumors are circulated by the Inspector General's officers, so you have to filter them out.

"Chief! That's what I bought!"

"Thank you. I'm comfortable with the exaggeration."

"Aaaah! Don't eat it!"

"Louis, would you like to eat too?"

"Aaaaah!"

Anyway, that look is really unexpected. Even if all the rumors are thrown out, it is true that Division 1 is a department specialized in torture. It was decades ago, but there was a time when it was called the Senior Division 1 and had an advantage over other departments.

'Has it changed these days?'

News about the Inspection Department is inevitably slow to update. Because it's a very tightly packed department. Even if he is now in charge of a job other than torture, there is no way to know unless the Inspection Department discloses it. Especially if you are a prince without real power.

Einter, who had even reached such a thought, met the eyes of the first manager by chance.

'...it wasn't.'

what will change

When he met the red eyes that were reminiscent of ruby, the beautiful red color instantly turned into slimy blood. If it were not for the person receiving the gaze, the 1st manager looked around Einter so quickly that he would not have noticed it, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Einter could barely hold back the laughter that was about to escape. It was absurd for himself to think that the Inspection Department had changed from the previous notoriety. The eyes of Section 1 just looked very familiar and terrible to Einter.

'Looks contemplating how to deal with it.'

The eyes I received from the prince who won the succession conflict, from the second prince in his prime when he had the upper hand in the conflict, and from Carl two years ago.

Perhaps the fact that the first department head came to the academy was related to him. Arriving at that conclusion, A Inter felt his blood run dry.

***

"Chief, chief."

"Why."

Section 1, who had been whispering almost to the point of crying, suddenly whispered.

"Your Highness, the 3rd Prince, are you planning to deal with it?"

With those words, I hurriedly caught the ear of the first department head and pulled him out.

"Oh, it hurts!"

鈥淎bsolutely not, so don鈥檛 go anywhere and create such an atmosphere.鈥�

It gives me goosebumps to hear that the first manager, not anyone else, is talking about it. Section 1 said, 'When are you going to deal with the second prince?' Saying that, he secretly expressed a desire to touch the second prince.

At first, I thought it would be so, but I was startled by the explicit mention of it. How hard was it to execute the assassination of the second prince in a hurry (no eyewitness report anyway) before the mega incident in which the prince was tortured.

鈥淏e quiet because you have other work to do.鈥�

"Yeah..."

When they finish whispering and let go, they touch their ears. From the outside, he's a really good kid.

Take him with you, you're supposed to be there during the fair? In an academy with open spaces and crowds?

'I'll be back.'

If a manager is going to come anyway, it鈥檚 best for the 5th section to come, but the 1st section as an advisor is the best.

I miss you, Section 5...

<+--|-|--+>

EP.36 Single Smile Fair - 3

Carl's brother told him to be comfortable with his subordinate, but how can he do that to someone he's not seeing for the first time? Unlike foreign people who even came to help at the request of Carl's brother, this person seemed to have been caught passing by, so it was even more difficult.

So, my subordinate, Ra, whispered to my sister, telling her to rest in peace. Then she nodded her head as if moved, and took out a skewer from the envelope she was holding so as not to be stolen by her brother. The twinkling eyes were a little burdensome.

"Would you like to eat this?"

"It's okay. I ate a little while making this and that."

"Yeah? It's delicious."

"Then I eat."

Suddenly, Carl's older brother approached behind her sister and took the whole envelope instead of the skewer she was holding. To be honest, her sister looked a little pitiful as she looked at her envelope as she left her arms with her bewildered expression on her face.

"I brought you here to work, what are you doing?"

"Director. I think it's really bad to give orders outside of work."

"If you do, you should have been promoted before me."

"Hey..."

The older brother, who did not care about the appearance of her dead older sister, rather grabbed her sister's head with one hand and pressed it tightly. The more she did, the more her expression melted and her body trembled.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts..."

"Louis茅. Don't look at it and do it without pressure. If you leave it alone, it's going to roam around."

"Okay, brother."

He smiled awkwardly at his brother's words and replied that he would understand. Hearing my answer like that, I felt a little heartbroken at the look in her older sister's eyes, who looked at me sadly as if she had been betrayed by someone she trusted.

'We saw it for the first time today...'

I'm not sure when I first met him and when he built such trust.

"If you can't use it, I'll use it. Is it okay?"

"Yes, of course. You're the one who brought me your brother."

Then I looked at the back of my older brother who grabbed my sister and headed towards the corner. Her older brother, who harassed her non-stop, and her older sister who drooped over her shoulders.

'You look friendly.'

At the same time, there was a deep intimacy between the two. On the outside, her older brother was sulking with an impression, but on the inside, she seemed comfortable. A vile appearance that was not seen in the club. Her older sister also showed her playfulness and friendliness beyond her crying.

I've never seen an older brother like that. My brother showed a kind and caring side in the club, but still showed a bit of restraint and kindness. But now, he seems to have put aside his temperance and goodness, showing his older brother as he is.

That's my brother's true form. What you don't show me

'See you first.'

I bit my lip slightly. The thought that I didn't really know the person I was really grateful for and the person I was taking care of made me feel frustrated in a corner of my heart.

It was the same when I met the princess a while ago. The older brother seemed to draw a line with her princess, but at least the princess seemed to really like her older brother. Before coming to the academy, my older brother was a high person unlike me, so he must have become close with the princess.

As I thought that there were more aspects of my older brother that I did not know, the frustration grew little by little. My brother is a very grateful person, and he is a valuable adviser to the club, and I...

"ah."

He shook his head to shake the thoughts that were flowing in the strange direction. what am i thinking now It goes without saying that your older brother has someone close to him. You have no obligation to tell me everything.

Even in order to repay the kindness I received from my brother, I wanted him to depend on me, so I had a strange thought for a while.

'Really... strange.'

Why? Frustration seemed to turn into throbbing. I tried to look away from my brother.

***

Even if I think about it, I longed for the 1st manager more than usual, but it is the manager鈥檚 duty to establish discipline between his boss and his subordinates. Considering that the managers must have loosened up while I was leaving the inspection department, I have to do this.

In the first place, no matter what I say, half of it is a guy who doesn't listen properly. So, if you want to inject 100, you have to hit 200 to get it right.

"Hey there, boss."

"Why again?"

I replied with a frown at the words of Section 1. I'm nervous now when he calls me. We talked about the third prince before, but what about this time?

"Who is he? He's a kid I can't remember."

Following the gaze of Section 1, I turned around and saw Louise cutting the bread and handing it to Villar.

"Here's the club leader."

"I know that. But compared to the members, he's just a normal kid."

The question of Section 1, who tilted his head continuously, was natural in a way. Even Erich, the weakest of the members, is the second son of the Imperial Count. As an officer of the Inspection Department, he is in a position to keep track of simple personal details.

On the other hand, the general manager, Louise, is the young girl of a very common baron writer. No matter how much inspections are given, it is difficult to understand even the writer Young-ae. If it wasn't for the original, I wouldn't even have known that Baron Nayerd existed.

"He's just a normal kid. Don't worry about robbing him."

"I'm not even the second manager, so why do I do that?"

The way I see it, that bastard or you are there.

However, despite my stinging gaze, the 1st department manager glanced at Louise and exclaimed.

"Wow, but she's really pretty. It's the first time I've seen that pink hair."

"It's not a common color."

"Still, it doesn't go well with red."

鈥溾€︹€︹€�

At that, I quietly closed my eyes. Is that what this bastard thinks of by looking at other people's hair color? After overcoming his complicated feelings, when he opened his eyes again, he saw the first section chief still looking at Louise.

"Come closer."

"yes?"

He poured 400 nagging instead of 200.

The second rush started while the 1st section was passed on. Not much has changed since the second rush. Just like before, customers are pouring in.

The only thing that has changed is that Section 1 is standing next to me like a totem.

"You're seeing rare people here."

"Haha, I didn't expect to see you again at the academy."

The gaze of the aristocrat shaking hands with me turned to the first manager next to me. Section 1 is smiling softly, but still doesn't open his mouth. I never said a word and asked God to stay still, but he still obeys.

Having Section 1 next to you is a kind of foreshadowing. The fact that the inspectorate is in the academy is not strange because the reason has already spread so much, but on the day the academy was opened, the 1st unit is with the inspectorate? Clearly something is going on.

A person who thinks that it is a mere coincidence that the head of the Inspection Department and the 1st Division are side by side cannot survive in the social world. Just standing next to each other is enough to be a foreshadowing and a warning to the nobles that something is about to happen.

'You will be careful.'

Even if they failed to intercept the third glory and succeeded in entering the academy, the nobles who had already guessed what would happen would have strengthened their escort. If that's the case, you can significantly reduce the gaze you turn to the nobles.

First of all, the fact that the third glory is approaching the academy is difficult to reveal officially. If information leaks out for nothing, the third glory can disappear, the academy becomes chaotic as the academy is, and as a bonus, there is a high possibility that the three kingdoms will riot. So, you have to make such a cumbersome detour notice.

There is also an excuse that the first department manager is actually an academy graduate, and that the first department manager came to enjoy the fair, not public work. Anyway, the external cause is simply participating in the festival, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

And this cause was actually eaten by the Three Kingdoms, including Villar. It wasn't really what I was aiming for, but the appearance of the first section chief walking around with a bunch of food was decisive. Because I strongly instilled the perception that I was really here to play.

'Thank you, Villar.'

I'm really glad you're an honest knight who doesn't think about twisting things around. I think I'm cheating, I'm a little sorry, but I can't help it. It is natural for public officials to put their own interests first rather than loyalty.

While I was thinking like that, the person in front of me changed. Now, the returned noble will inform the other nobles that the first chief has arrived, and the news will spread quickly among the nobles. A nobleman's mouth is the heaviest and at the same time the lightest. In this case, it is usually the latter.

"Oh, it's been a long time. It's the first time since we met at the council."

When this yangban returns, it will spread itself out well.

Come out with a smile and shake a hand once, and once with a meaningful look at the first manager. After returning the nobles who all had the same reaction, the last one remained.

'Who is it?'

But the first person I really saw came out. Faces, names, all of which do not exist in memory. It doesn't matter if it's the first time we met, but it's really awkward if we're just passing by and say hello.

Whether or not they know my heart, the other person greeted me with a smile first.

"Chief, how have you been? I don't know how long it has been since I last saw you at the cafe."

Oh, it's you.

The word 鈥渃afe鈥� just came to mind, so I was relieved.

"By the way. It was a cafe in the south of the Islands? It was really good."

"Haha. The cake there was very good."

"If there is an opportunity, I would like to hear it again. I don't have time for this."

"I have to adjust when the manager has time. Please tell me when it's convenient for you."

Then, naturally, shake hands and say goodbye. I looked down at the back of the young man who was going back and looked down at the hand he shook hands with. Suddenly, a small piece of paper settled in the palm of my hand. The paper had small letters written on it.

[ 1 hour later, on the 2nd floor of the main building. ]

Cafe, Southern Islands, Cake, No Time, Set the Time. It was a kind of password that changed periodically. A password exchanged by the intelligence service when making contact with someone.

'How long are they going to be like this?'

Even though the times have changed, it is sometimes pitiful to keep the tradition. It would be cumbersome for them to go around like this, but the intelligence department should be a fairly conservative group.

Even the intelligence department still has a lot of living elders, so even the head of the intelligence department can't get rid of the tradition. No matter how cumbersome the tradition is.

'Poor.'

It's always the intelligence chief who dies anyway. With condolences to the head of intelligence, he naturally put the piece of paper in his hand and swallowed it.

Of course, it is the same with contacts who suffer from the tradition of the Ministry of Information. Only when the head of the intelligence department succeeds in breaking the bad habits will I be able to stop doing things like this.

'It tastes bad.'

At least use some good paper, please.

<+--|-|--+>

EP.37 Single Smile Expo - 4

As I swallowed the paper while putting up with the disgusting texture, I could feel the gaze of the first manager looking at me with my eyes twinkling from the side.

"Why, do you have something to say?"

"Are you from the intelligence department?"

The always bright guy asked with a rare expression on his face. Oh, and he's had some contact with the intelligence service, too.

The victims of this bizarre tradition are widespread. The Inspection Department is no exception, so if the officers have any contact with the intelligence department, they try to go to the intelligence department, but if the situation does not work out, an intelligence agent comes to visit.

If the agent comes in person before going to the intelligence service, well, I'll just swallow the paper and destroy the evidence like I did.

"yes."

"Ugh, why do they still do that? All you have to do is use a communication tool."

"Don't openly ask the intelligence service about that. They hate us more than we do."

Once upon a time, I asked because I couldn't stand it anymore, but I quietly looked at him with eyes full of sorrow in the world and went back quietly. Anyone who protests with those eyes has no heart.

"We don't have that tradition, and the intelligence service doesn't know why."

"We're all gone who remember the tradition."

A smirk leaked out at the complaint of Section 1. The Ministry of Finance, including the Department of Inspection, was really splendidly overturned two years ago, and much of the tradition has been lost. I've heard that there are quite a few bad habits, but it doesn't matter since no one remembers them.

At my words, the 1st section manager trembled as he remembered the incident. I also understand that thinking about that time makes my teeth tremble. How many times did the rope glimmer in front of my eyes? In severe cases, it was enough to carry a canteen filled with poison. Fortunately, I had nothing to write about.

"Can't the manager just go?"

"Are you going too?"

Section 1 shook his head violently, wondering if he was reluctant to meet with the intelligence officer. It would be great if the intelligence department treated the manager as difficult as they thought it would be. Because even half of it is fine.

鈥淭hey are only obedient in front of their managers, and they are very strict with us.鈥�

鈥淚sn鈥檛 that the difference in virtue?鈥�

"Wow..."

The appearance of Section 1, who quietly looked away, was very disturbing.

The person from the intelligence department was the last guest, so I had plenty of time to go to the main building. He must have been looking for that time in the first place.

"Leave your seat for a while."

If you leave now, you will arrive at the main building just at the appointed time. If you go early and stay in the main building for no reason, it will only raise suspicions, so it is more convenient to go on time.

"Huh? Brother, what are you doing?"

Louise, who was making new dough, rushed over. For a moment, I wanted to sell the principal or vice-principal, but it hurts if I sell it without kissing and get caught.

"Just to get some air. I'm tired of saying hello all the time."

"It sure seems like a lot of people came to see my brother."

Louise smiled and nodded at my words. Did you see too much? There are so many trainers targeting semi-legendary Pok茅mon.

"I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

"You can come in peace."

"Everyone is having a hard time, but I'm not resting alone. Oh, I'm keeping a close eye on him."

鈥淐hief, do you know what the Labor Law is?鈥�

"Ahaha..."

After seeing the grumbling Section 1 and Louise smiling awkwardly, he approached Villar. It's disrespectful and embarrassing if I call and leave without a word.

"If anything happens while I'm away, please contact me right away. I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

"Okay. We will also focus on training while you return."

"Thank you."

He nodded at Villar's answer and turned his back. That's enough, now we can go to the main building.

***

Villar looked back at the inspector's back as he moved away and turned away.

'It must happen.'

After the appearance of a woman called the inspector's subordinate, the subtle reaction of the imperial nobles, and finally the inspector's sudden absence. All the circumstances imply that an event is imminent.

The inspector said that his subordinate came to enjoy the fair because he was an academy graduate, but of course, this is not reliable. A high-ranking person who can deal with the inspectorate who is the head of the inspection department without hesitation came to the academy simply to play? nonsense.

'I mean, turn it off.'

Anyway, I came to the academy by chance, so I meant that there was nothing to worry about in the Three Kingdoms. If you express it more blatantly and harshly, 'Shut up and stop paying attention to the affairs of the Empire.' say that. What should I do, if the Empire comes out like that, there is nothing it can do.

The imperial territories, the imperial educational institutions, were crowded with imperial nobles. No matter how much the Imperial forces withdrew from the Academy due to negotiations with the three countries, it is very risky to object to the movement of the Empire even in such unusual circumstances. If you make a mistake, it's interference in my affairs.

The inspector will know that the Three Kingdoms do not believe the inspector's words. He will also know that there is nothing he can do without believing. It's just a conversation that has built up a cause for each other.

Villar's gaze, recalling the inspector's words, turned to the white-haired woman. He has lived his life as a knight, and in recognition of his abilities and experience, he joined the Royal Knights. Therefore, he was able to have a small talent for grasping the opponent's capabilities and atmosphere.

'It is horrible.'

And Villar's senses were warning that a woman named Buk was dangerous. It felt like a terrible smell of blood. Even his red eyes looked like puddles of blood. For a person like that to come to the academy, what a terrible thing to happen.

'...It's not particularly surprising.'

Even though I was trying to be vigilant about the appearance of dangerous beings, I felt useless when I thought of a higher-level being that was more dangerous.

Villar's gaze turned to the direction the inspector had disappeared. The more dangerous beings are staying at the academy, and it seems like he has been worried too much.

Smell of blood? A puddle of blood? That's rather cute. The inspector is more than that. How frightened you were when you first met the inspector. I even wanted to protest that it was a foul to have such a monster come to the academy.

It's fortunate that I'm someone with whom I can have a normal conversation. Even more so because he is a straightforward and candid type. Because there is nothing closer to a disaster than a monster that hides its secrets.

'The murderer of Kagan hides his heart.'

A monster who has kept the Empire's commandments, and a person who comes to mind as a bloody sea rather than a puddle of blood. It would be a disaster if such a monster hides its secrets and plays tricks on the Three Kingdoms.

Villar let out a small sigh, dispelling his thoughts. Fortunately, the current inspectorate is not such a monster. That's enough. At least the blade won't point towards the Three Kingdoms.

***

Everyone went out to enjoy the fair, so the main building was pretty quiet. On the way up to the second floor, there was no one I met. The place for people to remain is higher than the second floor, so it's a perfect place to meet secretly.

While waiting quietly on the second floor of the meeting place, I saw a middle-aged man approaching from afar. A figure completely different from the young man who handed him the piece of paper.

'That's just changed.'

But it's the same person. He is a person who changes his appearance frequently, so an hour is enough time to change into a different form. It doesn't mean much since he's a young man in disguise anyway. I've never seen that person in real life either. Have you ever seen the intelligence officer?

"Chief of Inspection. How have you been?"

"Yeah. See you in an hour. How's the Deputy Information Officer doing too?"

Unlike the head of the information department of the extreme indoor pine, the deputy director of the information department of the extreme outdoor pine. Along with the head of the intelligence department, he is a civil servant who frequently updates the record of absent work.

"It's always the same."

That said, 'it's always bad.' contains the meaning.

Usually, the deputy head is the second person who assists the manager and coordinates the department, but the deputy chief of information is a wanderer who wanders around frantically for the crime of possessing the ability to specialize in intelligence. He certainly couldn't have been fine. I know but he asked for yes costumes.

"I'm busy, so I'll keep it short."

"Okay. What's going on?"

"The body will appear tomorrow around 5pm."

He nodded at that. Of course, it's not surprising that these guys are coming. There are other things that are more important than that.

"Support?"

"Your Excellency has dispatched the Mukwangdae."

"Five."

Without realizing it, I let out a short exclamation. I heard that the Minister of Special Affairs was specially selected, so I expected it, but I didn't know that a silent clown would be sent. Among the units belonging to the Ministry of Special Affairs, it is a unit that is located at a fairly high level, so it is a bit of a waste to send it to such a task.

"Your Excellency paid a lot of attention."

"That's right, isn't it perfect for the Muk-Gwangdae to move with the manager?"

鈥淒id you know that, but you took it from the Ministry of Defense?鈥�

"Haha, I'm sorry. But didn't the reorganization work like that? We can't deny the imperial order."

The deputy chief of information shed a smirk. I know that too. Because I am also a member of the royal family, I had to send the Mukwangdae to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Mukkwangdae will contact the manager first. Of course, the manager can send it first. If you contact the manager, we will be happy to accept it."

"Let me do that. Thanks for letting me know."

"Isn't this kind of messenger's job?"

Well, I have too many things to do to be a messenger.

Anyway, the deputy chief of information disappeared with greetings at the end of those words, and I moved to return to the booth again.

'Be silent.'

My steps towards the booth became lighter than before. I can't help but feel better because I got to see nice guys.

Mukwangdae (澧ㄥ厜闅�), one of the units belonging to the Ministry of Special Affairs. If I were to call you by a name familiar to me, it was the former 4th Division of the Inspection Division.

<+--|-|--+>

EP.38 A corpse that goes against the law - 1

The 4th Division of the Inspection Department has now been renamed Mukkwangdae and has been transferred to the Ministry of Special Affairs. Among the five divisions of the Inspection Department, it was the most specialized for armed forces, and the division to which the Minister and I belonged. It was also the 4th class that the state had prepared for me 4 years ago. It was so overpowered that it was even used in war.

'In the first place, there was no way that Gaju would have a normal seat.'

There was no way that bone marrow imperial sect could have provided a place to drink honey comfortably. He hadn't thought of it then. Anyway, the Inspection Department, especially Section 4, and lastly, my bureaucracy is messy and twisted. I'm not saying this because of evil, but objectively, it's been bizarrely twisted from birth.

From its establishment to the present, the Inspection Department has been openly treated as the emperor's hunting dog. To the extent that it is questionable why such a department belongs to the Ministry of Finance and not the Ministry of Special Affairs, where departments directly under the emperor are gathered.

I wonder what kind of genealogy it is that the Minister of Special Affairs is sandwiched between the emperor and the department as he is directly under the emperor, but the Inspection Department was a department that should be located in the Ministry of Finance, not the Ministry of Finance. However, the inspection department put the first button a little wrong.

The Inspection Department was established about 100 years ago. At that time, unlike now, the imperial power was not overwhelmingly overpowering the priesthood. Thanks to this, the nobles were wary of the expansion of the special ministry, which the emperor treats like a limb, and the emperor at the time hid his small and precious weapon in the Treasury.

'There was a need for a department to impose sanctions on the budget.'

That was the reason for the establishment of the Inspection Department, and there was a consensus that such a department was needed, so the Inspection Department was successfully launched. And the emperor made the Inspection Department into an armed force devoted to 'sanctions' rather than 'monitoring the flow of money'.

Only then did the nobles whose pots were broken by the emperor's small and precious bullpata say, 'This fucking emperor, that bastard is a bastard again.' However, it is twice as difficult to eliminate a department than to establish a new one. The Inspection Department continued to this day and was used as a weapon of the emperor.

The Inspection Department was a department established by the emperor to destroy the nobles, and its character was specialized in armed forces. Thanks to this, regardless of its status, it was known as a fringe within the Ministry of Finance. In the eyes of the Treasury's mainstream line that touches money and leads to intelligence, the inspection department was bloody.

Therefore, it was customary for public officials belonging to the Inspection Department to retire as the last chief of the Inspection Department or to fall into the Ministry of Special Affairs, War and Military Affairs. But just two years ago, that custom was broken. Immediately after the Crown Prince's appointment, the Crown Prince promoted the 4th Division Minister, and the 4th Division's team leader, to the Inspection Department and the 4th Division respectively.

So far there was no problem. The minister was overjoyed at the thought of retiring for the last time in his career as an inspector general, and my mind was already elsewhere, full of thoughts of fleeing to the military. Seung-Gong Jeon said that if you come with your body, you will accept it.

'The prince, that bastard.'

The problem arose when the Crown Prince started the purge of the 2nd Prince faction. The Crown Prince, who wanted to take control of the Department of Finance and Inspection, tried to put his own limb in a key position, and the limb was me and his minister. The two of us suffered the disaster of being promoted again within a week or so after being promoted.

Unprecedented high-speed promotion, unprecedented control over the Inspection Department's finance department. Naturally, there was a disturbance not only in the existing mainstream lines of the Ministry of Finance, but also within the Inspection Department, and I spent a miserable civil service life fighting the 2nd Prince faction outside, the mainstream faction of the Ministry of Finance and the opposition forces within the Inspection Department.

In the process, it was Lesson 4 that I particularly loved. It was originally from the family I belonged to, but I had to reorganize it myself, which had been almost destroyed in the north, and I had no choice but to become attached to it. However, the 4 best-nurtured fruits were sold to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Is that force too precious to keep in the Treasury?

"Fuck."

I remembered that time and cursed. If that was the case, the entire inspection department would be taken, but it is questionable why only 4 units were taken accurately. I was so upset when I heard that 4 units were being sold a year ago. Even Section 4 hated it. He did follow me a lot.

As soon as he heard the name of Mukwangdae from the deputy chief of information, the vague and dog-like memory immediately came to mind. It is said that sad memories are memories as time passes, but honestly, these memories were such a painful memory that I never wanted to use the word "memory".

There was no contact from Villar during the return to the booth. Fortunately, it seems that nothing happened at that moment.

"Oh, hyung. Are you here?"

"Uh. It's a lot of trouble."

As we got closer to the booth, I saw Erich passing by with milk, so I tapped her on the shoulder a few times and entered the booth. In the meantime, she may have spent time together in the club, and unlike before, she became close enough to give and receive her greetings naturally.

Unfortunately, that's still only it. Seriously, it's been a few years since we've been awkward, but I have no conscience to hope that we can get along in an instant.

"The manager is also here, so can I come and play next time?"

"Did I come to play?"

He grabbed his lips and shook him at the sound of the dog's dog approaching secretly. He is clearly a human, not a beast, so why does he make a dog noise when he opens his mouth? You, please, be awkward with me for a few years.

"Ughh-!"

Struggling to hit my arm that grabbed my lips, he held me tighter. This time, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes as if it was a little painful. After all, Section 1 has a crying face...

"Brother, don't bother me too much. I think my sister also works a lot, so she wants to take a little break."

Louise cautiously approached behind the struggling first-person. Section 1 looked at Louise, who defended him even with his lips caught, with a moved look. Wow, that was a little chaotic.

As soon as they let go of their lips, Section 1 quickly hid behind Louise's back. And it was very ugly to see him sticking out his head. A 25-year-old guy hiding behind a 17-year-old kid...? At my annoyed gaze, the 1st department manager looked at me with a rather stern look.

"The manager needs to value his cute subordinate more."

Instinctively, the word 'mouth' almost came out, but I barely held it in because Louise was right in front of me. At my reaction, the first department manager smiled and patted Louise on the back.

"Did you see it? The manager seems weak to you."

"lol..."

Louise scratched her cheek as if embarrassed by the words of Section 1. I'm sorry, it seems like you and I are struggling with being caught in the middle for nothing.

"Don't hide behind your younger brother, come out."

"I do not like it."

鈥淟ouis茅, will you move out for a second?鈥�

"Ah yes."

"Huh...?"

Without hesitation, Louise moved out of the front of Section 1 and moved to my side. Section 1 looked at Louise leaving with a bewildered expression. Will Louise be closer to me or closer to you? It is your defeat for not being able to do such a simple calculation.

After suppressing the three-minute rebellion of Section 1, Louise was worried about what Louise had said and gave him a break. Yes, if you roll, you should give it a little rest. Instead of going out of the booth, only inside.

鈥淭here is nothing more meaningless than taking a break from work.鈥�

He grumbles, but he sits in the corner of the booth and rests. It's a talent to frequently add words that you don't need to say.

"By the way, boss, what about a crow?"

Section 1, who was looking around, asked in a low voice. Crow, a slang term for an outside intelligence agent. This is also one of the many traditions of the Ministry of Intelligence. To be called a crow by others, I would have bitten my tongue if I had been called by such a strange name.

"You'll have to work with me tomorrow. I heard that the Mukkwangdae is also coming."

"Wow, really?"

The expression on the face of Section 1, who had been gloomy at the word 鈥渕uk-gwangdae,鈥� widened. It would be nice to hear that he is also watching Lesson 4 after a long time. In particular, I remember that 4 was exaggerated and friendly.

"But what happened to the mukgwangdae?"

"Tomorrow, the Apels Revival Army is coming to the academy."

"...Who are you?"

"Apels Revival Army."

Hearing the word 鈥淎pels revival army鈥�, the first department head was mesmerized with the expression of a graduate student when he heard the news that the professor in charge who would take care of him was retiring. It's not absurd news. How stupid both I and the intelligence officer were.

As I was waiting for the spirit of the first manager to return, suddenly the first manager鈥檚 expression changed subtly.

'That bastard has another achievement instinct.'

The recent activity of the Appels Revival Army was 200 years ago, if not more. Of course, I've never seen Section 1, and I've never been tortured. A new reactionary with no experience of torture? It is perfect to stimulate the achievement instinct of Section 1.

"Heh heh..."

He smiled at what he had come up with, so he quietly looked away.

The first day of the fair is over. It's definitely the first day, but the mental fatigue feels like it's already been 3 or 4 days, so it's sad.

"Chief 1 liked it so much. It seems like there will be a riot this time as well."

- Still, Section 1 doesn't do a good job.

鈥淚f I hadn鈥檛 been able to work, would I have stayed with you?鈥�

With the communication tool in hand, I sat on the bed and exchanged news with the 4th section chief... As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he contacted me right away.

"It was comfortable because you were there, but when you disappear, crazy things run wild. The empty space is too big."

- That's an overstatement.

At my words, Section 4 lowered her head. Long gray hair also gently poured down along the bowed head.

"Well, let's call back tomorrow. Is lunch okay?"

- Please contact us when it is convenient. I will take it anytime.

"Yeah. I want to see the first department manager too, so if you have time, please contact me."

- all right.

When Section 4 was sold to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Section 1 was the second most grieved after me. It was because among the officers of the Inspection Department, there were only 1 and 4 females, so we became close friends. When she left the 4th section, she scrambled to say that she was the only woman.

- Then I will leave. It's an honor to be united again, manager.

Section 4, who lowered his head again and cut off contact. I really miss it as time goes by. It's hard to see a child who is as kind and polite as him.

When I recalled Gaenodaps 1, 2, and 3, who remain as officers of the current inspection department, a sigh came out. Still, I'm glad that there are three normal people against three crazy things.

<+--|-|--+>

EP.39 A corpse that goes against the law - 2

The Appels Revival Army uses the grand name of the Third Glory. Blocking these corpses from accessing the academy is a natural measure for the safety of the nobles currently staying in the academy, but at the same time it is also a matter for the prestige of the empire.

Appels is a country that has already collapsed 300 years ago, and there is a history of slaughtering the revival forces as well as those who could be the center of the revival movement. But beyond the times, the Appels Revival Army appears again?

'It's a bastard.'

It doesn't matter what the size or capability of the revival force is. The prestige of the empire will suffer even if there are those who oppose the rule of the empire and long for a country that has been destroyed in the distant past. When other countries hear the news, they will laugh at them quite a bit from behind. Oh, if it wasn't that bad, did such rebels appear?

Therefore, the third glory should not be missed even by a single bird. The victory condition for this defense is to kill or capture all of them. If even one misses and the existence of the Third Glory - Appels Revival Army spreads to the outside world, especially to the three kingdoms, my communication area will be dyed with a brilliant purple color.

It can't be, it really isn't. The order of the Crown Prince, who had already passed the Minister of the Interior for Einter, has been given, but if the imperial prestige is damaged at the place where I am staying, the least amount is to contact the Crown Prince directly. The worst is that top line, damn it.

'I'll be back.'

He sighed in relief, pressing his forehead against the stinging discomfort.

Rather, there is no need for other groups to clench and keep security like this, but if caught, it is the Apels Revival Army. Whether it's the third glory or the third shit, if we catch even one, we'll send him to the first-class special course.

So, to discuss tomorrow's work, I called the first department manager.

"Chief. It's not really a call at night."

He was a little nervous about being in contact with the 4th department, and he was sensitive to contact, but the manager in front of him doesn't know the manager's consideration. Ignoring Section 1, who unknowingly pouts his lips, he unfolded a map depicting the academy and surrounding areas.

"Come on, let's make a route after a long time."

"Wow..."

Still, it's work-related, so it's rude to approach it. I glanced at the first section like that, then turned to the map.

The third glory will appear tomorrow around 5pm near the Academy. This is information provided by the Ministry of Information, so there is nothing wrong with it. So we have to think in advance where we will intercept, in the position of intercepting them before they reach the academy.

"Still, if you have a head, you must come here secretly, right?"

"It is, but since they appear at 5 o'clock when the sun does not set, we must be vigilant."

What in the world is an assailant who dares to come to me at a bright hour? It would be understandable if people attacked for a lot of time, but wouldn't it be meaningless if they were discovered before they actually attacked?

In fact, it may be detrimental to try to understand. The tenacity and obsession to revive the country 300 years ago is the culmination of madness that ordinary people cannot understand.

In the first place, these are the groups that appeared to create a crisis for the main characters in the original story, so they don't seem to be so determined and attacking. The first appearance is that it is close to the tutorial level. Maybe these are the only ones that are sloppy. The other four groups are bastards with their own history and traditions, so we cannot be vigilant.

鈥淚 think I would come this way.鈥�

"Isn't that right? It's the only one here."

After becoming the chief of the inspection department, he did not have much experience in defense warfare. He often suffered in the north, but it was only a roll under the commander. So, it is difficult to decide which direction to look and wait for the third glory, but if we look at it with the mind of an aggressor, the answer will come.

If I was the third glory, I would probably come this route, because I just had to find a place and block it. The person who hit you knows where it hurts. He doesn't know because he really wants to know.

So, he went head-to-head with Section 1 and pointed to a small forest northwest of the academy. If you wait, I'll come this way.

鈥淓ven if you are a silent clown, you can join us here.鈥�

It is perfect to meet in advance and watch the procession of the corpses at a leisurely pace.

Around noon on the second day of the fair. I left the booth for a while and headed to an uninhabited place and contacted the 4th manager.

"Let's meet here."

While we were talking about this and that, I poked the map toward the communication area and showed the tangent and intercept points set by Section 1 to Section 4 to Section 4. Seeing her nodding her head without hesitation, she will come to you without hesitation.

- all right. Let's go fast.

"You only have to come by 4 o'clock. I'll be there as well."

- Yes, boss.

"Yeah. It's been a while, so I miss you soon."

- It is an honour.

At my laughter, the 4th manager bowed his head and ended the call. It seems that he spoke too privately to his former subordinates who joined him for work reasons.

But when you see it, isn't there someone you want to take care of even a little more? Apparently, to me, that person is the 4th section manager, so he adds something that is not very important. When Mukkwangdae was still in Division 4, I complained that Division 2 had too much preference for Division 4.

Of course, I ignored the bastard I was talking about because it was the 2nd section. I don't know if the deputy manager or Section 5 said it, Section 2 shouldn't say things like that to me.

'There is still time.'

Although the academy is a bit far from the tangent area, it's still a good distance until 4 o'clock. First of all, you should stay in the booth and exaggerate one more appropriately.

***

I cut off contact with the manager and carefully touched the communication channel. Conversations with the manager were always glorious and tense.

- yes. It's been a while and I want to see you soon.

As I remembered the last words of the manager, the corners of my lips rose softly. Also, he didn't forget me. He is always watching with interest.

"Leader."

Hearing the commander's words from behind, he lowered the corners of his lips again and looked back. When it comes to communication with the manager, he seems to have set up a distance on his own so as not to disturb him. If it's the Mukkwangdae who received the manager's favor, it should be like that if it's a 4th class.

"What did the manager say?"

"I decided to join him. Head to the A-1 forest by 4 o'clock."

"Yes, Captain."

The commander salutes and turns to the other crew members. A-1 Forest, a temporary name given to the forest closest to the Academy. We shared all the temporary names before we moved, so you should have understood.

At the command of the commander, the crew began to gather in front of me with more active steps than before. It's all the same because I haven't seen the manager for a long time.

We are on our way to see the One who is the hero of Lesson 4, who rebuilds the broken Lesson 4, and who saved us who would have lived a life of chaos. Such an ungrateful bastard will be dealt with by the crew before he dies at my hands.

"The foolish corpses that go against the rules are heading towards the chief."

At those words, the eyes of the crew gathered.

"These are the ones who dare to despise the Empire, deny the commandments, and expose their dirty fangs to the general manager."

The crew put silent anger in their eyes. Publicly, anger toward traitors as a member of the Special Task Force, and anger toward those who want to harm benefactors in private.

鈥淚s there any cheeky guy who will go empty-handed to the meeting with the manager?鈥�

No answer was heard. He simply denies it without a word with his burning eyes.

"There is no need for the manager to come out in person. We don't block them in front, we hit behind them. We capture all of them alive and offer them to the manager."

They are moving twisted around, but in any case, they are just a weak and weak revival force. A rebel-like rebel crawling on the floor, not only for the cause, but also for supplies and troops. It's as simple as figuring out the location and catching the back.

Hearing the de facto order to attack, I recalled the instructions of the Minister of Special Affairs as I watched the crews quickly disperse and demolish the temporary camp.

"Third glory, that's a grand name compared to real value. Obviously, things that can be easily wiped out, but there may be a mastermind or collaborator. To capture them as much as possible."

Before leaving to help the director, I had an interview with the Minister of Special Affairs. A middle-aged man who left countless scars and scars on his face that he did not know how many layers he had sewn. The emperor's loyal dog who says that even though he can erase enough with the power of his magic and divine power, he ignores his shortcomings.

"And so that the inspector general doesn't come forward. What we need is a prisoner to vomit information, not a broken corpse."

At those words, I unconsciously nodded my head. It's a little bit difficult when the general manager is involved in an operation that aims to be captured. Of course, without the instructions of the Minister of Special Affairs, the head of the department would not have come forward on his own.

Dear Director, there is no need to move personally because of garbage. Although he left his side and came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lesson 4 retains his heart for him. We devote ourselves to the Empire by obeying the will of the general, who is a loyal servant of the Empire, and we follow Him who is our benefactor.

"For the dear manager."

Words that are quietly recited to make a promise to yourself. However, as an imperial official, he quietly recalled the words that he could not put out of his mouth because it could cause trouble for him.

For my dear master.

***

Whether it is the third glory or not, it is difficult to miss even one, and the sweeping itself is not a task. How strong would the new rebel rebels, as even the intelligence chief know recently, be strong? Even if several of them come rushing in, they do not even scratch the mukwangdae.

If you and the 1st section manager are silent, you can take the shot with an overwhelming advantage. Originally, it was said that it is a competent general to determine victory before fighting.

"Chief, here it is."

"yes."

I received the dagger that the 1st Division handed over and checked the blade. It is still difficult to possess a striking weapon in the academy, and a short weapon is convenient because it seems that there will be a battle in the forest. Although this seems too short.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a long time since you played in the field, haven鈥檛 you?鈥�

鈥淚 have something to do.鈥�

He resided at the academy during his time as a manager and defeated a dungeon solo that was not in the market, but it has been a long time since he participated in a battle like this. If I don't fight, I'm not a madman who gets itchy, so I didn't need to participate on purpose.

Still, it's a different feeling to think that I've been moving my body for a long time. If you don't use your body too much, it might harden, so I'll have to tell Section 4 to keep the siege in moderation.

<+--|-|--+>

EP.40 A corpse that goes against the law - 3

Appels, a great and noble golden empire, a beautiful empire that stood tall alone while ruling the vast continent. Appels, the third empire that reigned on this continent, was indeed a great country.

The fire did not go out in the islands of Appels, and all the goods of the continent were gathered in the islands. Strict gentlemen and beautiful ladies led the culture by walking through the continent revered by all. Also, it was an ideal world for nobles to lead foolish commoners.

When the nations of the continent bowed their heads, it was Apels called the Golden Empire. But there was a sinner who dared to lust after gold, and his cursed and despised name was Kpelopen.

A traitor who destroyed the golden empire, a thief who stole the heavenly name, a self-proclaimed empire full of lies. Those who follow the rules must destroy the false state and re-establish Apels. The third glory that dazzled this continent must be erected.

"Breaking down the Kpelopens that have been built up by deceit and pretense, we return to that glorious era."

The words that the general manager shouted on the day the third glory was founded still resonates in my heart. How could a country that has been stuck with nomads for two years be an empire? It's Apels. Only Apels is a true empire.

Believing so firmly, I headed to the academy with my comrades. It is the splendid legacy that Appels built in the past, and the place that used to be the archipelago of Appels. To recapture the place and to declare the resurrection of Apels by killing the criminals of Kpelopen who dared trample on Apels' heritage.

we can do it We can rebuild Apels with our own hands. Surely it will.

Surely it will be...

'Enen, Enen, Enen, Enen...!'

How the hell did this happen?

The steps towards the great resurrection became the footsteps of running away in search of God. This can't be. I am definitely the hero who will rebuild Apels. He is not the only one to turn his back on Kpelopen's dog.

"Aww!"

A comrade next to him was hooked and dragged up a tree. He screamed and struggled, but no one could come near him. A few people have already been caught by that hook, and haven't appeared since then.

Countless comrades have already fallen. The heroes for the revival of Apels fell in vain. This cannot be. The cause lies with us, and we must win for the right continent.

"If the garbage is only fast feet."

My body curled forward with a creepy voice coming from right behind my back. I tried to get up again, but something I saw before my eyes broke my heart.

"Is it okay if I don't have legs?"

鈥淚t will depend on the mood of Section 1.鈥�

Two men all around me. The men in unpatterned gray masks spoke carefree as if they were in the market. But my gaze still turned to something in front of me.

"Aaaah! All, legs...! My legs...!"

He trembled at the belated pain, but he was immediately trampled on his back, and he couldn't even do it.

"The head?"

"The captain is pursuing."

"It's over."

After a while, I saw the headmaster being dragged by the hair of a witch with long gray hair. He was dead, or fainted, without even moving.

finished. Our cause has come to an end in vain.

***

Gradually, it was time to head to the forest, so I withdrew from Section 1. It's true that you're going to visit for a while because you have someone to meet, but you're going for a weak cause, so you have to finish your work as quickly as possible and return.

If you match the speed of Section 1, the speed is slow, so I went running with Section 1 for a while, and arrived at the forest where I decided to join the Mukkwangdae.

"We came first."

"I will. What's going on?"

The appointment time hasn't passed yet, but the 4th Division is surprisingly sincere. He often arrived much earlier than his appointment time and waited. How moved I was to see him arrive before me at the inspection department meeting and clean my desk. Even though I said it wasn't necessary, I was rarely stubborn and left it alone.

"Why do you look like that?"

"No, it's not a big deal."

For a moment, if I asked to trade the 1st and 4th divisions, the Minister of Special Affairs would accept it, and I turned to the 1st division manager. But he shook his head to clear the thought. No matter how much the head of department 1 is like an enemy, if he can't find someone to replace him.

To be honest, there was no one who could replace Shim Seong, but there was no problem with feeling a big void as the roles of the 3rd and 5th managers were divided. Of course, it was better when the Inspection Department was a complete body rather than dividing the work of the 4 divisions.

"Let's wait. He's not late."

I made a stump suitable for the two of us to sit on, and checked the condition of the dagger that I received from Section 1 again. I just cut down a tree and it is of very good quality. Well, of course he's not the kind of guy to carry cheap stuff. At this level, even if you cut a bone, it won't break. Satisfied.

"Oh, boss. I think he's coming over there."

Section 1, who was secretly using my back as a chair back, pointed to one side and said: 'Cause I'm not the late kid either. Arrived soon.

"What is that?"

"what?"

Watching the silent clown approaching slowly, I and the first department manager spit out a question at the same time. It looks like someone is holding something on their back, or grabbing it by hand and dragging it.

"People... do you think?"

鈥溾€︹€︹€�

I know. Some parts of the limbs are missing, but they are human anyway. I wondered if there was an accident on the way and there was an injured person, but there is no such thing as dragging the injured person like a load. In the first place, it wasn't even a mukwangdae outfit.

As I was staring at me because I wanted to do something, the 4th department head, who was at the forefront, came up to me and saluted me.

"I'll see you, boss."

Then the crew members behind them threw what they had on their backs and what they had in their hands to the ground and saluted all at once. Well, you can just throw it, right?

"Yeah. You've worked hard to get here."

But at best, I can't even nagging at the kids who came to help me from the start. You must have brought it because you needed it. I got up from my seat and received the salute from Section 4, and only then did I release the salute.

And as if he had noticed my gaze at the people lying on the floor from before, Section 4 opened his mouth right away.

"This is the third honor. We met on the way, and all were captured."

"Wow..."

At the words of Section 4, Section 1 gave a small exclamation. I was at a loss for words for a moment. did you catch it? All? I was just sitting here and resting. Is this the end?

"It was really hard work."

I wonder what the hell happened, but when I saw the eyes of Section 4, who seemed to be secretly wishing for something in the expressionless expression, my heart disappeared. Yes, even if the process is a little strange, as long as the result is good, that's it.

When I patted his shoulder and congratulated him, the eyes of the 4th department shone brightly, and the dagger on my waist shone dreadfully. I borrowed it at most, but ended up cutting down trees. If that's the case anyway, should I carry an axe next time?

As we succeeded in capturing the third glory, the roles of me and the Mukkwangdae ended. I'm really only breathing, so it's very embarrassing to talk about the role.

Muk-gwangdae, who had nothing to do, set up a temporary camp in the forest where the battle would have taken place. No matter how weak your opponent, you should take a break from fighting to consume your strength. It seemed harmonious as they sat together and drank water to each other.

"Chief, please give me some water too."

I threw a canteen towards the head of department 1, took it lightly, and poured it into someone's face. Asking for water in order to give it to someone else, not the person drinking it. He even covered his face with a cloth to tell him to drink every other time in case he drank it in a hurry.

鈥溾攢鈹€! 鈹€鈹€!!鈥�

"Hehe, are you thirsty too?"

The third glorified leader who had his head tilted back as his arms were grabbed by the Muk Kwang Daewon and his hair was grabbed. He struggled to express his gratitude as to whether he was moved by the consideration of Manager 1, but he continued to pour water to see if he was even more moved by the appreciation.

鈥淲ould you mind tilting it a little more?鈥�

"Yes, Manager."

In the words of Section 1, Manager... It's a waste to say that I'm the manager. Muk-gwang, who was holding the head of his head, pulled him further back. I looked at the appearance of Section 1, who nodded to see if he was satisfied, and turned his gaze away.

'You'll be fine.'

It's a small start for a guy who starts by pulling out his nails, but if you leave it to him, he'll make you vomit information. Leave it to the experts and wait for the results to come out.

I was waiting while chatting with the 4th section manager, but the mouth of the head was stronger than I expected. It would be difficult to hold on for even 10 minutes if the 1st division leader was determined, but it seems that even the leader of that rebel group is not light-hearted as he is the leader.

When I approached Section 1 with Section 4 and checked the torture situation, I couldn't recognize the shape of the hands and feet. The rest haven't been touched yet.

'what.'

It's not because the mouth is heavy. The progress was slower than usual, so it was still tolerable. After hearing about the Appels Revival Army, I expected it from the moment my instinct for achievement exploded, but seeing it in reality, I'm a little pissed off.

"Why are you so slow. Why not go fast?"

"I'm doing this by myself outside, so if you rush it, you could die. You have to spit out the information."

Hehe, what you say with a smile doesn't mean it's wrong, I can't blame you for anything. Because it would be difficult if he died of shock while proceeding with torture in a hurry. Here, there is no other department belonging to or specialized equipment to help Division One.

The problem is that he's not the kind of guy who would make such a ridiculous mistake if he tortured him with determination, but he proceeds leisurely with that as an excuse.

'This bastard is getting more and more tipsy as time goes on.'

When he frowned, the 1st department manager looked away shyly. Yes, conscience still remains.

"If you keep doing that, you'll move on to the next person. If you don't like it, say it now. You should cherish your colleagues."

At my stinging gaze, Section 1 brought out a bizarre compromise. If the head falls for that remark and leaks information, then send it to the Inspection Department and play with it next time. Anyway, I have a bizarre hobby.

However, the third head of glory did not get angry or disregard the words of the first manager, but smiled lowly.

"Heh heh..."

"What? Did you even touch her head?"

"No. It's dangerous to touch your hair outdoors, so don't you touch it?"

If Section 1 is not the culprit, it seems that he has gone mad by the shock of torture himself. It's hard to let go of your mind already. Aside from my worries, the head who had been laughing for a while suddenly turned his gaze to me and stared at me with bloodshot eyes.

"Colleagues? There's a guy over there who made a career out of the blood of his fellows, but that's bullshit鈥�"

鈹€Come on!

Before the head could even finish speaking, the 4th department quickly ran and kicked him in the chin. It looks like he was kicked pretty hard as his neck was tilted back in an instant and he fell down.

An awkward silence settled down for a moment. The 4th section manager who ran out, the 1st section manager who was looking at something, and the Muk-gwang members who were holding the arms of the head, just looked at me without saying a word.

"under."

He shook his head nervously with a small sigh. How the heck it's spread, this bastard is talking about it.

'You fucking bastard.'

It's information and it's Nabal, so should I just kill them all?

<+--|-|--+>

EP.41 A corpse that goes against the law - 4

I looked around in silence. Even with the exception of a single piece of rubbish that seemed to have passed out, there are many things left to vomit information. Of course, there may be confidential information that only the chief knows, but that doesn't matter. With this number, it is safe to say that the quality is slightly inferior.

It's okay if only the head knows the person behind the third glory or collaborator. After all, they were crazy about the revival of Apels and showed their fangs to the Empire. I'm sure he'll do another trick, find out and kill him right away.

Yes, there is no problem.

'It's okay to kill.'

After the conclusion was made, I walked towards the barge. The two Muk-gwang members who were holding their arms hurriedly retreated, and the 1st and 4th division managers followed me.

He lifted his head to wake the stunned, but something strange happened. Eyes that have been turned upside down so that only the whites are visible, and the lower crown is crushed so that there is no trace. And there was blood on his face.

"He's dead."

At my words, the body of the Muk-gwang in front of me trembled. he is already dead It seems that Section 4 has been kicking him in a hurry, so he has failed to control his strength.

After looking at the overturned bugger's eyes for a moment, he gave strength to his hands and popped his head. It's meaningless because he's dead, but I think I need to get rid of this damn feeling.

After shaking off the dirt on his hands and looking back, he saw Section 4, who didn't know what to do, and Section 1, who rolled her eyes.

'What do you do with this?'

There was a situation where Section 1 deliberately proceeded with the torture slowly, and Section 4 shot and killed the main interrogation subject for whatever reason. These are things that can be reproached enough if you make them a problem.

He looked at the two of them and sighed slightly. Then, the sight of her shaking her body and bowing her head is engrossing in her mind. Normally, it's not a big deal. I expected that Section 1 would be distracted by a new toy called the Appels Revival Army, and I knew that Section 4 was active in my work.

Even so, there are some who didn't immediately push for Section 1, and I was also the one who stayed still even though Section 4 knew that Section 4 would pop out. Still, it's a little ugly to rebuke these two.

Although I heard unexpected words from an unexpected place鈥�

'Fuck.'

Even thinking about it again, it makes sense. Feeling frustrated, I was going to wash my face with dry hands, and my hands were still wet.

"Chief, if it's okay with this..."

There was no change in his voice, but as he saw the hand holding the handkerchief tremble a little, the thought of rebuking him completely disappeared. Yeah, I was out of luck. It just happened that I was just out of luck.

"thanks."

Section 4 wiped his hands with a handkerchief and handed it over again. And I tapped him on the shoulder a few times to signify that he had calmed down.

"Still, the only person who cares about me is Penelia. Thank you, for getting angry on my behalf."

I took my work, but I took care of my boss's anger point instead. I did it with good intentions, so I can get over it.

Heading down again, Section 4 left behind and headed to Section 1. It seems that the more trembling than before, the anger they will receive will be focused on themselves. Don't worry, you will pass too.

"Erzebet?"

"Yes, yes! Manager!"

It was a little fun to see the 1st section leader shouting with a lot of spirit and immobility. She smirked and patted her on the shoulder like a 4th manager.

"It was just a mistake before, right?"

"Oh no. I should have done it sooner..."

"It's a mistake. Erzebet has done well so far, so sometimes it's a mistake."

As I comforted him, the trembling in my body gradually subsided. Where can I find a boss who thinks of subordinates like this?

"Can you do it this time?"

"Yeah!"

I was a little satisfied with the way he responded as if he were a new recruit.

鈥淐ome to think of it, if you know what the North is doing, it seems like there is definitely someone behind it or a collaborator.鈥�

"I'll figure it all out!"

"Okay, let's do it, okay?"

The way he nods his head over and over seems to do it for sure this time. Because the sincere section 1 gave satisfactory results.

"Then I'll go to the booth for a while. I need to show my face for a moment before today's business hours are over."

You might think it's strange if the person who went out saying there was someone to see didn't come by the time the booth was closed. For once, even if I am alone, I have to go back to the forest with my face illuminated.

***

Looking at the back of the manager heading to the academy, he barely calmed his pounding heart. When the manager touched my shoulder, when he called me by my first name, not the title of Section 1. I was beating like crazy, wondering if my heart could beat more than this.

lol...

'It's fucked up.'

Really fucked up.

You're holding it down, and the faucet has turned properly.

Most people who roll on the battlefield have their own jinx. The manager was also one of those people. The manager never called a bureaucrat by name. He was called unconditionally by position, both in vacant positions and privately. Because the chief's jinx was calling his name itself.

Because I lost a lot of people who lived flawlessly while calling my name during the two years in the north. It was because only the general manager was able to bring him back to life in the system among the death squads that were created to kill Kagan, the inverse.

But the fact that such a manager called him by his name rather than his position means that his head and body are playing separately to the extent that he cannot even think of that jinx. This only happened when you were really really pissed off.

'pup.'

I stared at the third glory leader whose head had disappeared. It's a new toy, so I thought it was pretty, but I didn't know it would commit such atrocities. Fortunately, the manager didn't show his anger, so it's a shame. No, rather than expressing it, it's more frightening because it's suppressed inwardly...

"Penelia. Are you okay?"

He turned his gaze towards the headless bastard to Penelia. The manager, who was especially fond of her 4th division, called the 4th division by name as well. I can't even imagine how great the shock Penelia must have been.

I'm still bowing my head and muttering something. From the perspective of Penelia, who lives only with the manager, it must have seemed like the sky was falling. She sighed slightly and walked over to comfort her.

"The fisherman said that there was only me, the fisherman said there was only me, the fisherman said thank you, the fisherman called me by my first name, the fisherman said that there was only me..."

"ah."

I guess I was just worried.

Leaving behind Penelia, who was muttering with a little terrifying momentum, he headed for another third glory.

I beckoned to a few of the still-frozen Muk-Kwangs, and they quickly followed suit. And as if I had come to my senses, my footsteps gained a little bit of strength. They seem angry too. After all, I saw a madman swearing at the manager in front of the manager.

"Bring that."

"Yes."

When I pointed out the moderately fainted one, I ran straight away and dragged him in front of me. Interrogation is possible only if you are awake, so I slapped you on the cheek and forcibly woke you up.

As soon as he opened his mouth to scream, the Muk Kwang Dae-won immediately gagged. Yes, as expected, they are quick-witted, so it's good to work with them.

"Originally, we didn't want to do this, but your captain has made a big mistake on us. I'm sorry."

While talking with a dagger out of his arms, I suddenly thought it was strange. Why am I telling him I'm sorry? Rather, are we the ones who suffered damage unilaterally? Could it be that the person who did not manage the large intestine is also guilty?

"I don't think I'm really sorry."

I can do it with ease.

Nodding his head like that, he checked the state of the blade of the dagger, and a little bit of the flesh of the third glory in front of his eyes.

How many coats can you hold out? hold on for a long time

***

He avoided being a nuisance boss who pours his personal anger on his subordinates. However, as time passed, I seem to have gained more patience than before. In the past, when I really heard it, I ran into it.

鈥淭he guy who made his way through the blood of his fellow men.鈥�

His brow furrowed at the words that kept running through his head. No matter how much patience you have, you can't help it. What's even worse is that you can't deny hearing that. Because it's not wrong.

However, when I arrived at the academy, brushing it off, I saw booths tidying up. Oh my, it's a little late. When I speeded up to the confectionery club booth, it was also empty. It's definitely late.

"Ah, brother!"

As I was going back to the forest, I heard Louise's voice behind me. It looked like he was sitting squatting in the corner of the booth, protruding his head.

"What, why are you still here?"

"Still, I'm the manager, so I have to wait until my brother comes."

He smiled at the sight of Louise talking, and he burst into laughter. I know when I will come and wait blindly.

"Other kids? They wouldn't have just gone."

"People from the Three Kingdoms took them."

Louise said it simply, but I could feel how hard Villar had to work for that simple task. It must have been difficult to leave Louise behind and take them home. In the meantime, whose work was Erich and Einter taken away? Is it the check of the foreign trio who cannot leave the two behind?

'They are good at checking.'

No one gets ahead, but at the same time no one gets ahead. Strangely balanced pups.

"Brother, could you give me a hand?"

"hand?"

I reached out my hand without thinking much, but I wanted to miss it too late. I cleaned it, but there may still be a smell of blood, but it's not a very good smell for a child who should only grow up looking for good things. But Louise didn't care and placed his little pocket on my hand. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to smell.

"I made it a lot sweeter this time!"

"yes?"

"I like to eat sweets when I'm tired."

At Louise's words of concern, my body stiffened for a moment.

"Your brother looks very tired. I hope I can be of some help."

"yes."

"Uh... Brother? Like I said before..."

"Do you want me to tell you if anything happens?"

"lol..."

I looked down at the pockets in my hands after seeing a shy smile. I've heard a lot of people say that sweet food is good when you're tired.

"Thank you. I'll eat well."

"Yeah!"

I also smiled a little at Louise, who smiled brightly.

After confirming that Louise was returning to the dormitory, I had just left the academy to return to the forest.

'I like sweets when I'm tired, la.'

Then, I opened the pocket Louise had given me and took out a cookie inside. The neat shape looks like a cookie that Louise made with care. At the time, I had no idea it was so clean.

"Carl! Did I bring something good?"

"Voooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes for me!"

"Are you looking in the mirror? You have tiredness on your face."

"When you're tired, sweets are the best! Eat them because you're thinking of them!"

"And don't let the little one groan alone. If there's anything, always tell this sister!"

Ah.

"Fuck."

Maybe it was right after I heard such a thing from the bastard, or maybe it was because I heard a similar story from Louise. Suddenly an old thing came to mind.

For a moment, he looked down at Louise's cookie and carefully bit it.

"It's delicious."

yes it is delicious Louise's cookies are delicious.

The cookies I ate in the north were also delicious. Because it was the best thing I've ever eaten.

So Louise's cookies are also delicious. Just like when we ate in the north.

Yes, Louise's cookies would be delicious, too. It will be.

<+--|-|--+>

EP.42 Our fair is open as normal - 1

I stood still for a while, holding the cookie bag. It has already been two years, and there is nothing special about it. It's natural for things to happen during a war, and for someone to die. Now, even if I try to shake it off, I can't shake it off as easily as I thought.

Still, there will come a day when I will be able to brush it off. I looked down at the cookie bag, put it in my arms, and went back to the forest. We have to finish it before it gets dark so that tomorrow's fair can proceed safely.

When we got to the forest with a little hurried steps, we saw the first and fourth managers having a conversation. It seems that the interrogation has already been completed. He is also a guy who can't do anything if he puts his mind to it.

"it's over?"

"Yeah, everything I know made me vomit."

Sections 1 and 4 looked like they were still nervous. This isn't going to be resolved even if I'm okay with it, so I'll just leave it alone. No matter how many people say, I'm not mad, and how many people would believe that straight away.

Taking a look at the state of the third glory captured as a prisoner, none of them were in a normal state. The limbs were basically lacking, and a few had quite a bit of flesh on them. Did you even do it outdoors? Then the information obtained is reliable.

"What's special?"

鈥淚 had something strange.鈥�

"Is that weird?"

To my question, the 4th department, not the 1st, held out a piece of paper. Ha, look at these bastards.

"It's an explosive scroll."

"Yes. I think it's for mining."

Disposable scroll with stored explosive magic. It is usually used when working in a mine, and due to its destructive power, it is produced only in the system's horse tower and is supplied to a person or group with a definite identity.

If this scroll had exploded in the middle of the academy, an unimaginable disaster would have occurred. Of course, it is important to understand why this scroll fell into the hands of a rebel, rather than worrying about something that hasn't happened now.

Explosive scrolls are supplied to governors, lords, or mine managers. Whoever they are, they must be loyal to the Empire. If such people shed this scroll on the rebels, it would be an obvious act of treason.

"Are you suicidal?"

"It seems so."

Scrolls are supplied to an identified person or group, and to whom and how much is also recorded. So, if you take all the records and rob them, you can find the culprit. If there is any discrepancy or awkwardness between the supply and usage records, the bastard is the culprit.

I don't know if the real traitors are basically intelligent, or why they bet their lives on things that can be discovered quickly.

He rubbed his chin for a moment and then nodded. Looking at the mention of scrolls as a special feature, it seems that there is no useful information, and since it was confirmed that the scrolls were leaked, we should focus on that.

"We're done. Everyone worked hard."

Now there is nothing to be dealt with on site, so what is left is tossed to the center. Those who are still dead will be able to use them when they hand over to the Ministry of Special Operations, and find out about the scroll leak problem.

The Demon Lord would be furious if he found out that the items made in the Tower were almost used for a strange purpose. From the point of view of the Ministry of Special Affairs, they would like to find the culprit who will receive the wrath of King Mahjong as soon as possible and make a sacrifice. I'm going to have some trouble

Of course, if the Special Ministry finds the culprit, they will toss it back to the Inspection Department. In the end, it's us who suffer.
