588 – Department Without a Minister, Minister Not Working – 2

Minister who went to work at the Ministry of Inspection and Inspection for the first time since its official launch.

The minister’s first historic task in about a year was a date with his subordinate.

‘Is this right?’

I felt skeptical later on. Even if the secretary is a competent, trustworthy, and perfect civil servant, is it right for me, the nominal boss, to enjoy dating my subordinate? And that too in a situation where work is piled up?

Fortunately, the secretary seemed to have anticipated and understood this situation and said that it could be handled before the New Year’s wedding. However, the other person’s understanding and the movement of the triangle in my heart are two different issues.

‘I’m sorry.’

I apologized in my mind, thinking of my secretary who was still hard at work. I’m sorry for sucking honey alone.

So, be sure to reward them when you return. Vacation is honestly unreasonable, but a bonus that doubles your annual salary can be easily added to your wallet. Later, when the secretary inherits the title, he will definitely grace the succession ceremony, and if there is any need related to the management of the territory, he is willing to provide generous support of human and material resources.

Yes, I can give you everything except vacation. Because my secretary is my light and hope.

“Hihi.”

While thinking about the gift package to give to the secretary, Eri smiled and crossed her arms.

“You’re going to hang out with me today, right?”

I smiled as I looked at the sparkling eyes.

It’s important to repay the secretary, but what you need to worry about right now is your date with Eri. She was so blinded by guilt that she forgot that obvious thing for a moment.

“I’ll be back right after midnight, so take it to the fullest.”

“I don’t want to! You have to stay with me for 24 hours, not just one day! Stay with me until I go to work tomorrow!”

“Watch your mouth.”

She pulled her lips in a confident overtime request.

‘Ah…’

She slowly closed her eyes at the nostalgic sensation rising from the tips of her fingers. How disappointed she was that she had not been able to enjoy this touch.

“Errrr!”

Eri, who had been attacked, flailed her arms and rebelled, but her rebellion was not particularly sincere.

No matter how you look at him, he seems to be enjoying this.

As soon as she started dating, she ran into a problem that no one expected.

“Minister.”

“Yes.”

“What do we do now?”

“Yes.”

Neither Eri nor I were faced with the fatal obstacle of not being able to decide where to go.

I’m not doing this because I have no dating experience. Unlike Eri, who was single from birth, I spent intimate time with lovers during my time as an academy inspector, and didn’t I recently go on a tour of the Holy Church with Trixie? It’s just not that many times, but the dating experience definitely exists.

However, this is my first date ‘on the island’. Of course, Eri and I live in the system and have a work system, but we have very little experience playing in the system.

After work, I was busy going home and resting, so where would I have time to play? Moreover, the concept of leaving work on time was vague, and if you were unlucky, you could not leave work at all, so having fun was a luxury.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t decide where to go in this vast system. During the school trip, the destination was announced several weeks in advance, so I at least made a plan in advance.

‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

However, it is difficult to just wander around the islands and visit places that appeal to you.

First of all, it is not a problem for a nobleman to enjoy a date by walking. Walking around the islands that are the heart of the empire and the center of the continent is, more than anything, an aristocratic act. There is no one who will whisper about us not being able to maintain the dignity of nobles.

But our affiliation is the Ministry of Inspector General. If the Minister and the Director of the Department of Inspection wander around in broad daylight, the stores in the system will be afraid that it may be a surprise inspection.

‘Should I start planning my route now?’

Now, if you plan your route, you’ll be wasting time, but if you move around without planning, the day will fly by. It’s unfortunate, but now we have to sacrifice the cow for the greater good…

“Oh, wait a minute!”

Eri, who was frowning and thinking, took out her communication sphere from her chest.

– Yes, I am the Deputy Director of Information.

And not long after, the face of the Deputy Director of Information appeared.

“Deputy Director! It’s me!”

– Holy shit, what is this?

The conductor frowned sharply, but Eri, as always, paid no heed and continued speaking.

“I’m trying to enjoy a cozy date with the minister, so please use your old skills and send me a recommended route.

– Hey, I think I’m free right now!

“Your wife still doesn’t know what happened with the conductor’s ex-lover, right?”

– You’ve been busy planning the perfect route since you applied for vacation. Just wait 10 minutes.

With those words, contact was cut off.

This b*stard. The karma from Casanova’s days is still continuing.

“They say you only have to wait 10 minutes!”

“Yes. That’s good.”

Seeing Eri smiling brightly, she awkwardly nodded.

Just before her communication she was cut off, she saw the face of her conductor, biting her lip with the intention of shedding bloody tears.

‘Why did you do that?’

Although women’s relationships are complicated, they must have been quite complicated. If it’s that flashy, I can’t help it.

Still, it’s a good thing that his wife her her her, Christina, chose to marry her despite knowing about her her her her colorful past her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her, Christina, chose to marry her despite knowing about her her her her her colorful past her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her, Christina, chose to marry her despite knowing about her her her her her colorful past her her her her her her her her her her her her her her, Christina, chose to marry her despite knowing about her her her her her colorful past her her her her her her her her her her her her her her, Christina, chose to marry her despite knowing about her her her her colorful past her her her her as an intelligence officer.

…

‘What on earth happened?’

I got goosebumps for a moment. Christina already knows the past of her conductor, but she has a past that she is reluctant to reveal?

‘Do you have any children?’

I had that thought for a moment, but I quickly brushed it off.

Even if that b*stard boasts about his flashy relationships with women, he is not crossing the line. If he had not controlled his line, he would have already been stabbed in the stomach or there would have been retaliation at the family level.

So I’m more curious. What is the past that the ecosystem-disrupting species that roamed the social world wants to hide?

“Eri.”

“Neng?”

“What happened to make him so freaked out?”

Eri smiled at those words and then she whispered in my ear.

“The deputy director was the first person who even thought about marriage. He is triumphing over the crisis and feeling confident that he is where he is now, but it is difficult to say that he almost married someone else in front of his current wife.”

It was no big deal than I thought, so she nodded calmly.

I was worried for no reason. Damn you.

***

The route sent by the Deputy Director of Information was perfect, as fits an experienced dating expert.

The scenery while moving from store to store, the characteristics and atmosphere of each store, and even the harmonious menus that do not overlap when stopping by a restaurant or cafe.

‘This is how you can hang out with more than ten people.’

I admire it, but I don’t really want to imitate it. Because I only have the Minister.

“I didn’t even know there was a cafe like this here.”

The Minister must have had similar thoughts and muttered as if he was dumbfounded.

It may be a cliché expression, but there were many stores along the route sent by the conductor that only people in the know knew about. No, to be exact, all stores were like that. So much so that we can enjoy our date without being disturbed by anyone.

Honestly, it’s surprising. I’ve already been wandering around for three hours, but I’ve only met double digits of people. Not anywhere else, but in an archipelago boasting a population of over a million.

‘I’m glad I got married.’

I felt truly relieved to learn that the conductor was married. If that person was still wandering around social circles, how many ladies would have shed tears.

In the past, I thought it was the responsibility of the ladies who were possessed by the Deputy Minister, but after becoming a lover with the Minister, I was able to understand the pain a little bit. If the Minister stopped seeing me and got close to someone else, his heart would be broken.

“Minister.”

“Huh?”

“The minister should not be like the deputy minister.”

Then the Minister shook his head resolutely.

“You can’t become like her no matter how hard you try.”

I was convinced because the words were persuasive. That level is not something that can be reached simply through effort. This is possible only with the shamelessness granted by heaven and the conscience buried underground.

In the first place, unlike the Deputy Minister of Information, the Minister is not someone who meets one person and then switches to another.

‘If you like someone, you’ll meet them all.’

I had a strange thought for a moment. There’s no way a person who already has four wives and two wives-to-be can become like the deputy chief. Rather, we should be wary of the deputy chief becoming like the minister.

“Now shall we go to the next place?”

“Oh, yes! Next is the theater!”

The Minister stood up, holding his outstretched hands.

The next place is a theater built by a retired merchant for his hobby. A strange place that boasts considerable acting and story, but is put in a corner and plays for a very small number of customers as if it has no intention of promoting it.

[Visit the theater last. ]

And the place the conductor emphasized several times and told us to visit last.

To be honest, the more the conductor emphasized it, the more I seriously considered visiting him first. If the other person really wants it, it’s fun to overturn it.

However, since this system date is indebted to the conductor, it is necessary to strictly follow the conductor’s suggestions. I can’t let a day with the minister go to waste.

‘…But it’s still a play.’

I’m curious but also looking forward to it. What kind of place was it that the conductor asked me to keep it as the last part of my schedule?

The room we arrived at after arriving at the theater and being guided by the staff.

‘It was like this.’

As soon as I entered the room, I could understand the conductor’s emphasis.

‘It’s not a pure theater.’

Spacious yet luxurious interior. A huge glass window where you can see what the actors can do.

However, it is a material that allows you to see the outside of the room, but cannot see the inside from the outside.

Once the door is closed, there is a thorough locking mechanism that prevents anyone from entering.

‘It was a place like that.’

I swallowed my saliva without realizing it. This is the optimal environment to focus only on the play, but if the play attracts attention, it becomes a private space for the two of you without anyone’s interference.

Just me and the Minister. A space just for the two of us. A place just for us.

“Huh, indeed.”

When I glanced at the minister, I could see him laughing.

He looks a little embarrassed, but he doesn’t look like he hates it. Since he is a minister who already has a deep relationship with four wives, there is no reason to dislike him.

‘Good.’

He clenched his fists and burned his fighting spirit.

There were two when we came in, but let’s try to be three when we leave.
