632 – Ministers and Department Heads – 4
The Mukwangdae set out to conquer the dungeon except for Fine─ No, Unit 1 did not return for a few days.
But I wasn’t particularly worried. Section 1 is a fan club that passionately supports the relationship between me and Fine. That Department 1 comes back from work at the speed of light and disturbances Finneman and I’s time? Rather, it means that something happened.
‘It looks like everything is okay.’
That’s why my mind was calm even though there was no news from Unit 1. To be honest, Unit 1 isn’t at a level where dungeons or anything like that are holding you back. You wouldn’t know if the dungeon closed itself after watching Lesson 1.
“He’ll be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, right?”
“Yes. Unless a new dungeon suddenly appears, that will happen.”
This time, I whispered into the ear of Fine, who was sitting in front of me while enjoying a horseback riding date, and Fine responded calmly, even though his ears were turning red.
It is a huge development. Now, Fine does not enter a vibration state even when receiving a back hug and a whisper at the same time.
‘It had the effect of sticking one-on-one for several days.’
I was proud. It was decided that Division 1 would not return to the system and would stay in the county until the dungeon within the county was conquered. This was something that I asked for the understanding of the women in the system in advance and willingly received their permission.
The only thing that bothers me is that my lovely baby angels can’t see their dad, but fortunately, thanks to TT and the saints, they don’t cry and look for their dad.
Although it was a little disappointing, it was a legally granted time to stay out of the house anyway. I devoted all of that time to my date with Fine.
So that Fine can treat me more comfortably. So that Fine can be more honest. So that Fine can smile more.
“Mr. Minister. If you don’t mind… Why don’t we get some fresh air together?”
“It is said that there is a huge lake to the west of the County of Yudhe. I would like to see it with the Minister.”
“It’s embarrassing for a guest to occupy multiple rooms, so sharing the same room as the Minister…”
I slowly wiped my eyes as I remembered the things Fine had asked of me first over the past few days.
It’s not a feeling you would have for your lover, but it was very touching. It was like watching a child who was crawling walk.
No, Fine, who is excessively dependent on and admires me, has finally asserted her own will. It is not entirely wrong to say that she started walking.
“When I think of this, I feel sorry for Department 1, but I wish there were about 10 more dungeons.”
“Actually, I also have the same thoughts as you, Mr. Minister.”
At those words, she shook Fine’s head.
How can every single word be so wonderful and lovely?
“Fine, do you just want to return to the system with me?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible. If I return after leaving Section 1, I will become someone to the Minister.”
Meanwhile, it was a Fine thing that the division between construction and construction was thorough.
“I’m just kidding. I know that Fine is working hard because of me.”
With an even more violent gesture, he tore through Fine’s hair
Of course, I know that Fine is going on a hard march for her honeymoon and childcare leave her, and for me to return someday after my vacation. Even though I was promoted very quickly, I am not blind and unaware of what is going on in my department.
So I was always thankful and sorry. Fine would have been a little more comfortable if her husband wasn’t a crazy guy who’s been on honeymoon for over two years.
‘Honeymoon leave for 2 years.’
When I think about it this way, I guess I’m a bit of a crazy person.
Of course, if you think about the next few decades, whether it is two or three years, it is only a moment.
– Purr!
‘Hmm?’
While I was feeling such complex and delicate emotions, the black horse that had been given over to Count Yudher began to run somewhere while traipsing.
‘What?’
Why is this guy like this all of a sudden?
I was taken aback by the sudden sprint from the quiet guy. He left it alone because it drove automatically along a good course without having to touch it, but if it runs away with a person in it, you have to take the reins yourself.
But he was running with an expression too serious to stop him. Moreover, even though it was a full sprint, there was not much vibration from the rider.
Definitely a famous horse. If other horses ran like this, I would have kissed his tailbone good-bye.
– Phew!
“Huh?”
“That is.”
Eventually, the black horse’s steps stopped only after reaching the meadow next to the river.
No, more precisely, it stopped within sight of a white horse drinking water from the river.
“Did you come because of him?”
– Purung!
The dark horse nodded his head as if what I said was correct.
A new wild horse introduced by a famous horse that picks up people and runs around on its own if you leave them alone.
‘Is it multi-level?’
It was a multi-level building that reminded me of an empty box seat.
Now, that white horse is also introducing another horse, right?
That night, the room I was staying in with Fine.
“…”
“…”
An awkward silence surrounded me and Fine.
It’s not like anyone said anything strange or made a mistake. Our date was perfect, and Fine’s emotional expression became more and more honest.
Nevertheless, the reason for the subtle silence was simple and powerful.
– Puhihihing!
“Hey man! What are you doing!”
The black horse that was carrying me and Fine lowered its body to let us down, then ran straight to the white horse and shared her love.
I almost lost my mind at the unimaginable sight. Who would have guessed that it would have found a mate and raced for several kilometers? How did she observe the child who was several kilometers away in the first place? Did she have a good sense of smell like a horse or a dog? Or do the northern horses have colors that share consciousness with each other?
‘I see horses mating all my life.’
Anyway, thanks to the black horse running in search of her love while carrying her rider, Fine and I got to watch the love between her two horses in real time.
Of course, it wasn’t a very pleasant feeling. If it wasn’t for the famous horse, I would have hit him once.
“Well, Mr. Minister.”
“Oh, yes. Tell me.”
“Well… The white horse I saw earlier seemed like a pretty good kid.”
She nodded passionately at Fine’s words her her, which barely broke the silence.
First, it’s Fineda who musters up the courage to open her mouth. If you give an ambiguous response here, Fine will never open his mouth again.
“That’s right. Maybe it’s because she was raised freely, so she’s strong. Or maybe she’s of the same bloodline as the black horse.”
I heard that the black horse that showed us the new world also wandered north and settled in the territory of the Yudher tribe. In that case, the bloodline of a black horse means that it wanders here and there without a fixed destination, so it is highly likely that the white horse we met earlier is of the same bloodline as the black horse.
– Purung!
– Puhi hing!
Maybe that’s why the white horse, after making love, stuck behind us and followed us all the way to Count Judher’s castle.
I am glad that I picked up a famous horse for free. It’s definitely a happy thing, but isn’t it a bit harsh that the cost is mating intuition?
“Congratulations, Excellency Minister. If the lineage of the famous horse continues, you have acquired two precious treasures.”
After a moment of silence due to complicated feelings, Fine slowly bowed his head and offered congratulations.
It was sad to see the will to continue the conversation somehow.
“In particular, the black one was a dependable and wonderful horse, just like His Excellency.”
“…Uh, thank you.”
And I ended up replying a beat late to Fine’s subtle compliment.
It is a compliment to say that it resembles a famous horse rather than a passing mutt. But, as it happened, right after the famous horse shared an act of affection in public, she said, ‘You and that horse look alike.’ When you hear the words, no matter how much of a compliment it is, you can’t help but feel strange.
Because I feel like a crazy person making love in public outdoors.
“Ah.”
As if clearly realizing the subtlety, Fine let out a low sigh.
“Go, Excellency! That’s not what I meant—!”
“The white horse was pretty because it looked like Fine.”
First, I told a joke to calm down Fine, who was overly embarrassed.
It may be misunderstood as sexual harassment if you say it to others, but between me and Fine, this is okay. Moreover, it was Finegi who first said that it resembles a horse.
“He came with us too, so Fine will ride the white horse.” I’ll take the black horse.”
“Ah, yes, I understand.”
As she comforted Fine with a smile, Fine finally calmed down.
At that moment, I thought, ‘It would have been more perfect if it had been a gray horse instead of a white horse.’ The words came to mind, but she didn’t say them out loud. If I say something like that for no reason, Fine will suddenly die from excessive shame.
“But I feel a little sorry. It’s like breaking up with someone you just met.”
“It will be okay. Even if we broke up, didn’t we still share deep affection?”
I burst into laughter at the answer that felt even decisive.
That’s right. Just breaking up and sharing affection and breaking up are two different things.
“Maybe the horses are better than us.”
“Yes?”
However, the firmness quickly became soft.
I approached Fine and gave her a gentle hug. If this wasn’t Count Judher’s castle, and if Fine wasn’t on a mission, I might have become a dark horse too.
“Please be patient just a little longer. Come summer, even if the emperor wants to take me away, I will be able to put him in vain.”
“I don’t think it’s because of me…”
“Use it.”
“I will wait with pleasure.”
With those words, Fine buried her face in my chest.
For a meeting that had many limitations, it was quite a satisfying time.
***
Unit 1, who went out to conquer the dungeon, has returned.
Considering his usual skills, he returned a bit late, but he returned in time without any problems in moving on to the next territory.
I was embarrassed yet grateful because I felt like I knew what Unit 1 was feeling. It was to the point where work was intentionally delayed for the sake of this inadequate manager.
“Then I’ll go. When I’m done with everything, I’ll come straight to the mansion.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
“I won’t ask you to do it every day, but please contact me when you have time.”
“Yes. I definitely will.”
“Chief 1 takes away Fine and puts it on her behalf when she messes with the communication port.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
The master, who gave instructions not only to me but also to Section 1, went up to the teleportation magic circle with the dark horse.
– Puhi hing…
And the white horse cried sadly as it watched the black horse slowly disappear.
I can understand. Although it was only a one-day relationship, the black horse must already be a precious thing to this white horse.
‘You are just like me.’
The day I saw my master, I also began to regard him as more important and precious than anything else in this world.
I too am letting my master go while suppressing my sadness.
“The white horse was pretty because it looked like Fine.”
The master was not wrong when he said that I and this child resemble each other.
