Chapter 275: The Sage Spends His Daily Life

On that day, I was doing clerical work in the audience hall.

It didnt feel like the pile of documents had lessened at all.

The clerks who were sitting in various parts of the room were also worried.

I managed to keep my arms moving despite finishing an amount of work that would drive people to despair.

Then, another clerk entered the room and added a bunch of documents he was holding to my desk.

Said clerk looked at his colleagues with pity before leaving the room.

The other clerks responded to that thought, but they soon returned to doing their respective tasks silently.

This scene had become my daily life at this point.

The exhaustion they piled up over doing hard work every day was quite something.

The only reason they went that far was to reduce their burden.

I could only be grateful toward them.

Obviously, its not just about being grateful though

I was observing the clerks.

When I found someone who seemed to be overworking, I would call them out and transfer them to the nap room.

I would then take over the work they left behind.

Otherwise, it would be too late to deal with it once they had all collapsed.

Unlike me, they werent immortal.

They needed to lead a healthy life.

Since they had a hard time resting while I was still working, I tried to actively encourage them to take a rest instead.

Good morning, Demon Lord-sama! Its a refreshing morning today!

Youve arrived early. The meeting is supposed to take place at noon.

When I pointed that out, Grom nodded happily.

As a vassal of Demon Lord-sama, it is natural to not keep you waiting. After all, Im the second-ranked Demon Lord!

Grom proudly said so with his fist on his chest.

As he was satisfied, he looked at the tragic state of the room and raised his hand in anticipation.

If you dont mind, could I help you with the office work?

Aah, please.

Certainly!

After Grom arrived at one of the desks quickly, he began to process the documents at a speed that produced afterimages.

The surrounding clerks were astonished by the tremendous speed.

They eventually regained their thoughts and resumed their work.

Grom muttered happily while briskly moving his eight arms.

But it sure feels nostalgic. It makes me remember the old days when I used to work at a desk near the Demon Lord-sama.

Youre right.

As I stopped my working hand, I looked outside the window.

The vast cityscape of the royal city continued endlessly under the blue sky.

It was natural to feel nostalgic.

We were currently working separately on different lands.

500 years had passed since I had defeated the hero Claire Vatton.
