510 – Last Vacation – 2

Manager 2 sent us a temporary contract and a map showing stores that handled strawberries. He showed this kind of sense even in a situation where contracts were coming and going. If he showed half as much tact and consideration on a regular basis, he would have been a truly cherished subordinate.

‘Anyway, he’s just a smart kid.’

A b*stard who is only focused on screwing over his boss with that brilliant mind…

Still, Mar found what I wanted to eat today, so I’ll move on.

‘The content isn’t bad.’

I walked towards the store and quickly glanced at the contract.

First of all, the content was short and consistent. Unless the head of the second department is in charge, there is no need to include in the contract anything that could embarrass me, and I have no intention of abusing my subordinates or being tyrannical. When it comes to financial relationships, it’s best to be clean and free of noise.

Anyway, the content is good, and I received consideration rather than consideration from Manager 2, so I think there is a need to review this contract positively.

‘Should we expand the scope?’

For example, rather than a personal contract that lasts only during the wives’ morning sickness period, it’s like a huge contract made on a territory-by-territory basis.

Of course, it is difficult for the County of Tilglehen because there has been a contract that has previously entrusted the distribution of goods, but the northern territories, including the County of Wiridia, are like empty lands. If the contract is to be entrusted to someone anyway, wouldn’t it be better to entrust it to someone you know? It’s not for nothing that the term ‘connections’ exists.

‘You can trust the Baron family.’

Even the current Baron Baron’s head of the family and the father of the 2nd Department Head were powerful men who received the title from a commoner. Manager 2’s internal reliability is at a low level, but Baron Baron can be trusted.

Okay, I’ll take a serious look when I get back to the mansion.

“Welcome, Your Excellency! I heard you were coming and prepared it in advance!”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

And when we arrived at the store that Manager 2 told us about, the owner was at the entrance holding a basket of strawberries.

‘You heard?’

I looked up at the store’s sign, just in case.

A very familiar Baron Baron’s coat of arms was drawn.

‘Chief of Section 2, this b*stard.’

It wasn’t just a place he knew, but a place ran by his family. He seems like a kid who is serious about business.

‘I don’t mind if the price changes.’

But I was actually relieved to see his sincerity. Seeing that Manager 2 is also doing this, there is no risk of the contract being shaken even if the head of the household changes.

Procure the food that Mar and First Snow want to eat in real time, say hello to the three children sleeping in Trixie’s arms, chase Titi who runs away with something in her mouth, and receive congratulatory calls from acquaintances. Responding one by one, etc. I was having a peaceful and rewarding day.

“It’s been a while, manager. “I came here after hearing good news.”

“Have you been well so far?”

Maybe that’s why I found customers I hadn’t seen in quite a while.

“You two are welcome. It feels like it’s been a really long time.”

I guess I heard that Mar had a taste for fruit, and I felt happy to see the heads of Sections 3 and 5 coming with fruit baskets in both hands. Unlike the Deputy Director, who occasionally visited to check how much work had been done on the creation of the Ministry of Inspection, the Director 1, who was in love, and the Director 2, who was a newlywed senior, Directors 3 and 5 never really met.

Moreover, since I appointed these two as the Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director, they were also busy with work. The person who has been pushed into the abyss of work asks, ‘Hey, are you busy?’ How angry would you be if you came to play? If it were me, my boss would be rude and hit me.

“It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. Didn’t I see you at the wedding?”

“It already seems like a long time ago.”

I smiled at the words of Section 3 and was handed a fruit basket.

Even at the wedding with Trixie, all executives from the Inspection Department attended, but so many things have happened since the wedding. In my experience, it feels like several months have already passed.

“Ah, is the time okay for you both? Have something to eat while you’re here.”

“Yes, well. If I didn’t have time to eat, I would have bitten my tongue right away.”

Even Director 5 closed his mouth and lowered his gaze to the ground at the words of Section 3, which were filled with mixed feelings.

Although it was a short sentence and action, I was able to feel the pain that the two candidates had experienced without filtering.

‘I am a sinner.’

And looking at that, I also quietly looked away. It was entirely my decision to suddenly promote these two people who could be said to have quickly achieved managerial status. Even though I am younger than these two and became a minister-designate, my pain does not eliminate the pain of others.

What’s even more regrettable is that although I feel bad about that decision, I don’t regret it. To be honest, these were the only kids I could trust and entrust as executives. To quickly take control of a new department, you need to put your close associates in high-ranking positions.

Crucially, I could see a future in which the heads of Section 3 would have fun making fun of me if I became minister. So, before being attacked, I just counterattacked first with the card of being promoted to manager.

– Woof!

While there was such an awkward silence, Titi suddenly appeared, wagging her tail and barking at Managers 3 and 5. It seems he ran excitedly because he smelled a stranger.

‘What did I eat that again?’

Meanwhile, he smiled bitterly as he looked at the corner of Titi’s her mouth her covered in dirt. It is said that babies put things in their mouths when they see them for the first time. Is this the same for T-T? Although he has grown in size, he is still a young puppy.

No, maybe it’s just a dog’s habit. Either way, the owner can’t change it no matter how hard he tries.

“Oh, is this Titi?”

“It’s bigger than I thought. I heard you’re still young.”

Anyway, the briefly awkward atmosphere quickly melted away with TT’s appearance. Manager 3 squatted down and stroked Titi’s head her, and Manager 5, who had been keeping quiet, slowly approached Titi and expressed his appreciation for her.

They seem to secretly like animals. I knew this for the first time.

“He’s a retriever, so he grows up quickly. In the past, I could hold him in one hand.”

Actually, I’m also amazed. Obviously, the guy who was small not long ago has grown in size in an instant.

“Big.”

“Hmm.”

Eventually, Section 5 and I instinctively bit our lips at Titi’s unexpected behavior of hers. Titi, who was panting, put her front paws on the lap of the 3rd manager who was squatting and started licking his temple her.

She felt desperately sad, looking as if she was eating Chupa Chups. First Snow: ‘Why doesn’t Dad have a diploma?’ A future that can be said to be The sun, the sky, and the plants reach puberty and say, ‘I hate you, dad!’ The future called.

“He’s a very affectionate kid.”

In fact, the head of Section 3 just laughed it off without showing any anger or embarrassment at Titi’s behavior

‘This is crazy.’

However, as soon as Section 3 finished speaking, crisis came again. At some point, Titi’s tongue her her her, which had been licking her her her her her her her, began to move up to the area of her head her her her her her.

Please, please stop. I left all the other places alone and ended up going there.

“My wife said that animals recognize good people. I guess it’s true.”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

At that moment, I almost said what nonsense was this, but I held back. If the source is the wife and not the manager, she can’t say harsh things.

‘I probably don’t like you because you’re nice.’

Watching Titi still licking the giant Chupa Chups reminded me of her her chef her in her her kitchen her her her. Everyone in the mansion loves Titi, but among them, the chef especially cares for Titi, to the point where he cooks meat for him himself. Thanks to this, TT follows the chef quite a bit.

And the chef is bald and shaves his head.

Unfortunately, the head of Section 3 is also bald.

‘After all, they are both big.’

It seems that T.T. Sees a familiar chef in the head of Department 3, whom he meets for the first time.

Why are you so good at distinguishing things by smell…

***

Since the vacation began, she has been staying quietly at the estate. Except for her brother’s wedding and when she goes to see her older sister, Zenobia, she devotes herself to training all day.

As a man from the Crasius family, he did not neglect his training her, but once his vacation was over, the second semester of his third year began. That was the last time he was able to spar with Ryutis.

Thinking like that, he became even more passionate about training. Ryutis is the greatest partner and friend I will ever have in my life. It would be natural for him to want to increase his sparring winning percentage even a little before graduation. As a warrior, he cannot tolerate a low win rate.

“Erich!”

However, his strong will also shakes when he hears Sarah’s voice her her her her.

“I told you not to come this far because it’s dangerous.”

He sighed softly and walked towards Sarah. This is a place where the knights of the family train and spar like me.

Of course, if the delicate lady Sarah appears, the knights will be very careful, but isn’t there such a thing as what if? In any case, if Sera were to be grazed by her blind wooden sword her her her, there would be nothing worse than that.

“If I didn’t come first, you were planning on skipping dinner again, right?”

However, Sarah’s words left me speechless for a moment. Because my conscience pricked me to say no.

Certainly, training time is getting longer and longer these days. It was not once or twice that I lost my mind and swung my sword because I felt like I could get my hands on something if I just tried a little harder.

Thanks to this, I had to skip meals several times, so my nanny even nagged me. Since I showed signs of skipping meals again today, it seems that the nanny, who was worse than me, ordered Sarah to catch me.

“What is the meaning of training while starving? You must eat properly to gain strength!”

Sarah’s slender and soft hand took my hand and guided me. Naturally, it was too weak to lead a strong warrior, but—

“I’m going to go, so walk slowly. Then I’ll fall.”

It was enough power to lead me alone.

Isn’t this a situation where the fiancee is trying to put something in her fiancé’s mouth? It would be even stranger if great power was needed.

“Really? If I don’t eat it this time, will it reach Zenobia too?”

“That’s a bit scary.”

It’s a shame to see both hands being grabbed and dragged away by their fiancees.
