Office of the Director of the Institute.
"Why is there so much paperwork?
... is this yesterday's date? "
Takeo was surprised to see the documents at the top.
"... hmm... did Victor and Assena work overtime while you were watching?
Currently, there is no provision for overtime... if you pay for overtime, it will be a big deficit...
We have to get it up on time as much as we can.
And we need to promote paid vacation. "
Takeo sat in the chair at the waiting desk like that.
"Excuse me."
Meyer's coming in.
"Thank you very much.
Have you heard from Meyer? "
First of all, it's a test platoon.
Well, I'm turning customer surveillance.
Andersen and the others wanted the rookies to do it. "
"If I had known beforehand, I could have incorporated it.
This time it's sudden, so there's no way. "
"Yes, I don't seem to have acted particularly well as a report.
He acted with Simona and stayed relaxed in the inn while the lords were at Count Elvis' residence. "
"... no escorts, no caravans?"
"Yes, she's very talented.
It could be multiplied by our surveillance gap... but I find it difficult to sneak in and out of both accommodations. "
"... I wonder if you let me take a vacation in the inn...
What would you do if you were Mr. Meyer?
I was told to take a no-go vacation on a business trip. "
"I drink.
Or buy a book or something and go to sleep while squandering time... "
"Hmm... well, I suppose that doesn't mean there's no complaint coming.
Okay, it's good that you didn't do anything noticeable.
Anything else? "
"Tracy is roaring upstairs.
Director, did you do any homework? "
"Yes, before going to King's Landing.
Well, instead of being able to do it, I tried to make my idea flexible... and I made it a subject where I could think of both common sense and insanity...
Hmm... I wonder if it's difficult? "
"For example, what is it?"
"Panna put together a few things that could be done with slime body fluids.
Let's think about how to sell it.
For example, "A container of wood adhesive that dries in one day after application", "How to use a rubber board with a thickness of about 3 cm", "Thinking toward realizing the lantern concept of red slime body fluids", etc.
Well, it's homework to make your head flexible.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't lead to commercialization, but I said it has to be feasible. "
"Hmm... I don't know, but it must be hard."
"Well, it's hard because I'm telling you to come up with something you don't have in the world right now.
Mr. Tracy, well... leave it alone.
I'll give up and report back to you soon.
If you see Tracy, you can't wait, but tell her you're not looking for her right away. "
"Yes, I understand.
And... when we were away, nothing in particular.
Apparently the test platoon was training in small arms proficiency.
I'm just getting started, so I won't report the accuracy. "
"I'm not ready for accuracy yet.
Ah, it's a scope. "
"Yes."
"I will collect what I am giving you at about three times the magnification and sell it to the Elvis family after putting it into service.
Instead, we deploy things with a magnification of about five. "
"I see.
I will tell you not to break it. "
Meyer nods.
"Simona officially asked me to export cereals.
I will make adjustments... but I will cross the border with Mr. Brooke, Mr. Arkin, and all but the newcomers to inspect the Enemy Kingdoms in about 10 days.
It also serves as a escort for the horse-drawn carriage... well, you won't be late as a bandit. "
"I see.
I'll get ready, what about the gun? "
"I don't want to show it to the demon kingdom, so let's not take it this time."
Got it.
"And with the extension of the conversation in the King's City earlier, a few people from the other side will go to the demon kingdom together.
Your Majesty has been contacted via Gina.
You'll hear from me soon. "
"I see.
Who's coming? "
"I don't know? I don't have a choice, and I'm afraid I'm going to have a choice."
"Normally speaking, someone who monitors the director's behavior... well, the upper echelons seem to be coming.
Otherwise, it will be difficult.
Even when the lower end comes, the station chief seems to feel soft. "
"I'm not supposed to be so hostile...
Well, at the same time, there are people from the Imperial Castle who plan to go to the Catalan Empire. "
"Well... did I hear that?"
"I didn't say anything in particular.
Your Majesty is going to the ceremony to mark the trail of the Catalan Empire. "
"... well, the emperor came to this ceremony."
"Yeah, that's why I'm going.
You will be accompanied by the King's Guard. "
"Well, of course.
I wonder if the guards of the personnel coming from King's Land to the King's Land are around the 1st Army? "
"It doesn't matter to anyone, but I'd like someone who doesn't act freely away from my will.
It's adjacent and I'm responsible for it. "
"... even those accompanying me will say the same thing.
Don't let the director do what he wants. "
"... I guess I'll say no."
"No, you can't because it's already moving.
If we leave the people from the other side here and go to the demon kingdom soon, we may have a strange reputation. "
"Mmm... I want to move as much as I like."
"Your Majesty is tolerant.
I don't know if King's Capital will tolerate it. "
"Hah... I thought we were going to make a suggestion..."
"What is the director's prospect?"
"Since I have the opportunity to safely go to the demon kingdom and see the castle and soldiers over there, I think that many people will have a better understanding of the demon kingdom if they go to see it."
"Yeah, that means we have to do something else.
I don't negotiate on my own. "
"Hah... well, it's a journey of sightseeing."
Takeo nodded with a sigh.
