I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 49
#49. The god of the great wizard, Vermouth (3)
slowly turned his head.
A somewhat familiar grandfather stood before my eyes. He was an old man with abundant white hair and a long beard, and he looked like the headmaster of a magic school in a famous movie.
Damdeok tried to pretend not to be embarrassed and began speaking.
“...who are you?”
At those words, Vermouth quickly approached Damdeok.
When I looked up close, I saw that my grandfather had a great appearance.
‘Why are all the gods so big?’
He smoothed his long beard and answered politely again.
[Didn’t I ask first? What are you doing here?]
‘....’
I thought about his answer for a moment.
It was clear that the grandfather in front of me was vermouth. However, judging by the way he is tilting his head, it doesn’t seem like he knows everything.
‘If that were the case, I would have already been furious.’
Perhaps he came down to deal with a group of people attacking the temple when he sensed a suspicious presence.
‘I deliberately set the distance quite far away, but he noticed it.’
It doesn’t matter.
It was going to happen anyway...
Damdeok stood up straight, facing him in front of him.
I heard that, unlike Hades, the god Vermouth has a very finite personality.
Anyway, if you get stuck here, you won’t get any porridge or rice.
Damdeok opened his sentence without any hesitation.
“I was watching those attacking the temple.”
Vermouth’s head tilted even more at those words.
[Hmm, were you watching? Why are you?]
“The temple is being attacked in broad daylight, so as a fellow god, wouldn’t you be interested?”
Vermouth’s expression changed strangely.
He looked at Damdeok and then said, Pahat! He burst out laughing.
[What a fun guy. Haha yeah. Did you, as a fellow god, get angry seeing the temple being attacked in broad daylight?]
Vermouth whirled around, emphasizing the words, ‘As a fellow god.’
The heavy atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
“...no. “That doesn’t mean I said I was in the same class as you.”
When Damdeok said that, pretending to be embarrassed, Vermouth quickly put on a gentle smile on his benevolent face.
[...I guess I misunderstood. The attack on Daesinjeon has never happened in nearly 20 years. Those monsters are so powerful. Hehehe, I thought you had bought something from behind my back or something. I’m sorry.]
“...No.”
Before hearing Damdeok’s answer, Vermouth turned his back and looked at Jusoyul’s group across the hill.
Damdeok felt cold sweat running down his face.
‘Why are you standing there so stupidly? ‘Run away quickly.’
Ju Ju-yul seemed to have noticed the presence of vermouth and was secretly aware of this area.
As if Damdeok’s anxious feelings were conveyed, Jooyul quickly grabbed the back of the excited Baekgureum and quickly started running away in the other direction.
At that sight, Damdeok glanced at Vermouth standing next to him.
Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to have any intention of chasing the fleeing Ju Soo-yul and his group.
Instead, he stroked his long beard and was deep in thought.
Only after the presence of Ju Ju-yul and his group had completely disappeared did Damdeok barely open his mouth.
“Why don’t you chase after me?”
This distance is now sufficiently safe.
Just in case, I was even told to completely erase any presence or smell and hide in a big city with a large magical power, so it would be safer.
‘But it’s strange. ‘Why aren’t you chasing me?’
No matter how finite his personality may be, vermouth is very conservative.
He couldn’t have known that touching his own temple, especially the priests and the guards protecting him, was an insult to himself...
Vermouth just stroked his beard in response to Damdeok’s question and then quietly opened his mouth.
[Hmm, this guy, Carlos... he must have been quite frustrated. Well, it must be worth it to be stuck in that narrow hole.]
I felt my head pounding at the unexpected words.
‘What, are you really pitying a forgotten god? ‘You pity the guys at the gate?’
under. A laugh escaped me.
There has never been a god like this before.
He looked at him with a shocked face, but
Vermouth turned away and started wandering up the hill, muttering.
[Karos... Still, doesn’t this go too far... What’s so dissatisfying?]
Like a grandfather worried about how to discipline his immature grandson, Vermouth was fidgeting with a slight frown.
‘I can’t believe he had this kind of personality.’
Damdeok was dumbfounded.
Of course, Jusoyul gave me some tips about vermouth.
Even though harsh curses were uttered from the beginning, Adolf did not even flinch.
“The sun is already high in the sky.”
“what. so. whatever.”
“Today’s Great Magic Day Festival... I heard you were in charge of hosting the event, but aren’t you going?”
At those words, Adele Sharon’s expression changed in an instant.
From a frown to surprise and astonishment.
“Aaaah! What time is it now?!”
Adele Sharon threw off the blanket and jumped out of bed.
Adolf, who had already prepared her clothes, sighed and used magic to fix her hair.
“I just said it was in the middle of the sky...”
“Hey, crazy! “Why didn’t you wake me up!!”
Adele Sharon hurriedly got dressed and cast a resentful look at Adolf.
Although he said he was not a fan of alcohol, the event was held at 2pm.
I hope you’ll do well until now...!
“it’s crazy! it’s crazy! “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Because I’m in a hurry, my clothes don’t fit well.
Adolf remained calm.
“Isn’t there a clause in the contract never to wake you up? I didn’t wake him up because I didn’t want to get fired. And that’s not where you put your head, it’s where you put your arms...”
“Oh, you’re so loud!” manager! “Who is my manager?!”
“If you are talking about Hana, she fell down after being punched while waking up Adele Sharon and is recovering in the next room.”
“Aaaah! “This is crazy!!”
Adele Sharon roared and ran to her private vehicle, carrying one in the next room.
It happened in an instant.
“Whew~”
Adolf let out a long sigh.
If I hadn’t signed a confidentiality agreement when I came here, the rumor would have spread long ago.
The noble and arrogant superstar of our Atlaum is actually such an eccentric troublemaker...
Adolf and the staff immediately continued to clean up the room as if it was something they were used to.
* * *
“Haha today is such a glorious day, isn’t it? Our Atlaum’s 5000th holiday! Grand Magic Day is back!”
Along with the co-host’s spirited progress, the people gathered in the square erupted in cheers and applause.
People’s eyes were focused on one place.
Adele Sharon quietly leaned on the podium on the stage in the plaza.
“Wow, this is my first time welcoming Adele Sharon.”
“Amazing, Great. “Your face is really tiny!”
“How can a person stand still and still be full of dignity?”
People were looking at Adele Sharon with envious eyes.
‘Ugh, my head still hurts.’
She was holding back the scent of alcohol rising from within and making constant efforts to manage her facial expressions.
‘How much on earth did you make me drink?’
Adele Sharon had no memory of the fact that she was the main culprit of Pour and Drink.
‘And then you shamelessly disappear without saying goodbye?! ‘They seem like bad people.’
Was I stupid for enjoying the party thinking we were friends for a while?
Are you sure you’re not spreading what happened while drinking?
Even in the midst of all these thoughts, Adele Sharon was working hard to manage her facial expressions in order to provide fan service to people.
‘Because it’s an important day. ‘You can’t look disheveled.’
Today is the day to bless Vermouth, the god of the Archmage, a holiday that everyone in Atlaum has been waiting for all year.
On this day, anyone could come to the square and drink champagne and eat meat for free.
While people are eating and enjoying the food, the high priests of Vermouth perform spectacular magic demonstrations to show the results of their magic research.
The magic demonstration, which was either fireworks or mirage-like, was always the highlight of the enchanting and joyful festival.
“Now, there will soon be a magic demonstration by the high priests!”
With Adele Sharon’s guiding voice, people’s eyes moved to the silk screen installed next to the square.
She also looked there vaguely.
‘Even when I was young, I always came to the square to watch magic demonstrations.’
It would be no exaggeration to say that Adele Sharon’s dream of becoming an archmage began from then.
‘If it weren’t for mana deficiency...’
Trying to shake off the depressing mood again, Adele Sharon moved to the front of the stage to greet the high priests.
Eventually, the silk curtain lifted and the ministers began to walk out.
But...
“Wow!! “Peace in Atlaum!!”
“Blessings from Atlaum!!”
I could feel the cheering and applause of the people receding into the distance.
The ministers slowly lined up and walked out. Among them, Adele Sharon, a man with a particularly familiar face, raised his finger without realizing it.
“Why are you out there...?”
