Duke, Please Repent! chapter 30

8. The Duke's House without the Duke (1)

After he left, I asked Hans the date Serpens would return.

You'll be back next Thursday. As soon as you arrive, we will go down to the Duchy as soon as we receive the delayed report, so be prepared.

I live very busy. It must be hard, but I'll take it easy.

I've been away for a long time, so I'm on the train

You must be busy processing the paperwork.

'Serpens alone is so busy, how is the Duke of Argento, who served as the head of the advisory council and vice president, going to be separated?'

I'll have to ask him the next time I meet his assistant, Sir Falsum.

anyway. Since Serpens had been away for a while, there had to be someone to take over.

'Of course not me... .'

Deputo Guberno, the current chief administrator within the Duke's residence, took charge of it.

Not only this time, but every month when Serpens descended to the Duchy, he is said to have acted as deputy.

Thanks to that, I was also ordered to go to the magistrate's office until Serpens returned.

Sir Rivelon? Aide's job... No, I just heard that this was my first job. Is that correct?

Yes, yes! Is there any problem?

Huh...!

Former Administrator Berno, who is a round-headed grandfather, said he was very sorry.

He let out a sigh on his face.

I'll write the title of the book, so read it by this weekend and put it together.

Yes?

Before the Duke returns, let's aim for one serving.

This is absolutely not my fault匸卜. Because I'm not majoring in business or administration!

As a result, most of the work had to be done with the knowledge that Original Zion had.

However, Zion did not have very in-depth knowledge, and it was difficult to apply even the basic skills that I had because I did not learn them myself.

'It's out of sync!,

At this point, you should be grateful that you don't have any problems with your language skills.

I had no choice but to cry and nod my head at the words of Administrator Guberno, who was eating mustard.

'I hated studying the most in the world!'

But isn't there anything else?

I'm in the novel [Master of the Holy Sword]

It's been over a month since I've been here. Meanwhile, I was completely neglected.

It was difficult to expect such a friendly after-sales service to take you home.

In a situation like that, I can't just live with, I'll send it back someday, hey Diya!

Even if you try to go back voluntarily... .

'I don't even know how I got here in the first place, but how do I know how to get back!'

I'm sure I can go back

If you don't know, this will be your job for the rest of your life.

Let's learn when we say teach.

Thank you, I'll do my best!

Heh, he's still young, so he's full of energy!

He nodded his head with a happy smile in response to my answer.

'I thought I would be completely bullied for not being able to work... .'

This is a more favorable response than expected.

The question could be resolved by having a private conversation with him at lunchtime.

"Then, did you volunteer for your grandchildren?"

"Not because of it, but because I want to do it."

It is said that the original governor Guberno worked in the lord's castle, not the duke's residence.

Then about 8 years ago. It is said that one of the administrators of the duke's residence has retired and a seat has been opened.

It is said that the grandson of Administrator Guberno was approaching the age to enter the academy, so he volunteered to move to the Duke's residence in the capital.

'Even though there was an academy in the Prasidus Territory, would the capital be better than the future network?'

Anyway, it's a simple greeting, so it's been a long time since a seat was vacant here or there.

But that was when Serpens had just become Duke.

There are more than ten administrators in the lord's castle, but in the case of a duke's residence, there are only three positions, so it is said that he gladly accepted his resources as a career employee.

"That child will soon graduate and be brought out into society like Lord Rivelon, right?

I'm worried.

If you're the governor's grandson, I'm sure you'll do well.

Instead of covering it up like Hans, the reason he encouraged me was probably because I thought of my grandson, who will soon be a freshman in society.

After all, in society, there are more genuine adults like Governor Guberno than old folks like Hans.

I want to show this wonderful example to people who talk about 'like a child' or 'like a grandchild' in words only.

'Can you see it? this is a real home

It's all about caring for your precious children!

Feeling very warm in one part of my heart, I asked the Governor Guberno.

"Does your grandchildren also want to be administrators?"

Yeah, until then, there should be at least one administrative post in the Duke of Prasidus...

Dirty academic ties, delays, blood ties all-roundism!

Wherever you go, the world where people live is said to be there.

When I realized the truth I didn't want to know so much, my heart that had been warm for a while quickly cooled down.

After finishing the meal with a cold heart, I went back up to the administrative office.

Huh..., this is true. At this rate, it would be better for my grandson to come and take over as aide...

Where the hell did Sir Rivelon learn the basic theory of public administration...?

Is it because you think you've become close to a certain extent while eating together?

In the morning, Administrator Guberno, who was talking a little cautiously, started in the afternoon.

There was no hesitation.

". Did you not say anything to the Duke?"

I must have been more miserable than I thought. But that didn't mean it was unconditionally whipped.

But the calculations are quick and there are very few mistakes... Sir Rivelon seems to fit well with the accounting field.

That's probably because when I was young, I solved basic X math like crazy!

The academy told me to speed up my calculations, and told me to solve it as homework every day.

Painful memories come back

'Nevertheless, I couldn't get over the wall of science, so I went to the liberal arts department... .'

It's a very sad story.

By the way, after listening to that story, it seems that most of the work I received from Serpence was also in the accounting field.

Even after going down to the Duchy, my main job was to compare, check, and guess numbers while collating documents.

Conversely, when I tried to catch a serpent as a snack.

The administrative documents he put in in order to pretend to be natural and come to my place unnaturally were administrative documents.

A sharp guy .

Somehow, after finishing today's work and having dinner, I borrowed two books about public administration the size of three fingers from the library.

We expected that the actual number of pages would be less than expected due to the backwards technology of the paper industry, but it ended with expectations.

It was a thin, high-quality paper that could only be used in the Bibles of our world.

"When are you going to read all of this?"

I think I'll have to hold it in front of my desk for the rest of the day after work.

* * *

From the next day onwards, I received a bunch of administrative documents, and the youngest administrator was assigned to me like a gunner.

The youngest horse looked more than 50 lines long.

At first he looked at me with a look on his face, wondering why I should teach him this.

I saw it, but from a certain moment, I was really excited to see if there had been a change of heart, such as, 'Even at this age, I am treated as the youngest.

Ugh, I'm tired...

I think I used my head more than usual because I had to learn and remember new things.

But come back and study again!

I pray that I want to live in a world without studies in my next life, and I sit at my desk again and read the book I read yesterday .

uh?

There was something like a message card that I had never seen before on the book.

Upon closer inspection, it was just a sheet of slightly thick paper folded in half.

It was clear that this was the purpose of the letter, judging from the fact that it was written on the outer surface of the letter, "Dear Zion Ribelon," in straight letters.

Where did you see something like this... .'

As I stared at the note placed on the book, there was something overlapping.

in the original world. Memories of going to the reading room with a friend during the exam period

this reminds me

A friend of mine went to the bathroom for a while, and a schoolgirl placed a piece of paper folded in half like that on top of the book he was reading.

Yeah, that's just how it feels!

As an aside, he turned 03 and got a C in his grades, and I got an A by focusing like crazy on my studies.

Then this is a love letter?!

After all, it was an era when there were no cell phones or the Internet, and the analog sensibility was excellent.

'But you sneak into the room like this

Standing and leaving... .'

Even so, it would not be polite to throw it away without reading it, since he has sincerity and his heart.

Perhaps this is the universal confession method in this world.

'Because it's a fantasy world, the confession method can be a bit astral!'

Still, as a normal modern person, I was a little horrified.

From now on, I'll have to give it to you directly or push it through the gap in the door.

"Okay then, shall we read it?"

Beyond the beating, my heart pounding wildly urged me to open that letter.

Trying to calm his heart, he carefully unfolded the paper with trembling hands, and opened the contents with his eyes.

[How much do you know about the Duke of Prasidus?

If you want to know about him, go out until midnight today in the abandoned building at 6 Mita Street.]

"What kind of bullshit is this?"

When it comes to Semita Street, I often hear about it from the advisory council.

After relocating the people who once lived there for redevelopment, they quarreled over budget issues, and in the end, it was still neglected.

Even if it's steamy, it should be moderately steamy...

The heartbeat, which had been running like crazy with excitement, to the point where the eardrum went blank for a moment, now vibrated slightly with anxiety.

I don't know who the opponent is, but the one who asks me to come out late at night in an empty back alley

Where is the bastard who has lost his cowardly head and goes out after receiving it?

I don't know if Shion possessed even 1/10 the strength of a Serpence.

'Why am I out there with this wretched body that I've never heard of before?'

A little while ago, the tender heart she had been expecting with a feeling of love suffered a huge wound.

Unable to control the rising irritation, he threw it to the floor and trampled it with his feet.

Let's study.

I sat back on the chair and opened the book.

Right now, my hair is colder than ever. In the current state, I would be able to read this book in one fell swoop!

' There was a time when I thought

After an hour, I lost my concentration.

He yawned loudly, resting his chin on his left hand and flapping the bookshelf with his right hand. My posture is also getting messy, my back is bent, and the chair is pushed back... .

- Jiik 一.

I wondered what kind of noise this was, and I looked down and saw a piece of paper I had trampled on under one leg of the chair.

When you study, curiosity about everything other than studying arises, and how to look interesting.

Losing the shape of the past that had been folded straight, he picked up a piece of paper that had been soiled with shoe marks, wrinkled, and even torn slightly by being dragged by a chair.

Spread it out well and carefully

I looked again, but again, the sender was not written anywhere.
