755 – Add Nature to the Ruins – 1

He stopped his external activities after the meeting with new members of the Ministry of Culture and the Maritime Affairs.

I wanted to quit halfway through, but I couldn’t be a character-breaker who unilaterally broke a promise I made first, so I held on and held on.

Even exquisitely, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is a low-ranking department within the executive branch. What would be said if you show that you take lightly the promises you made to those departments?

‘They would say that the Minister of Inspection and Inspection is a person who looks down on culture and the sea.’

It’s a terrible thing to even imagine. Although the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism can hardly be said to be a department that directly influences national interests, it is home to so-called ‘real’ scholars in that it deals with history and traditional culture. There is nothing more frightening than the anger and resentment of real people.

Due to the nature of the sea-related work, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is staffed with people who are closely related to the Golden Ball. The Minister of Maritime Affairs is one of the Golden Ball’s masters, and among his superiors is his in-laws. It is a difficult department to criticize regardless of the departmental hierarchy.

‘Now let’s just stay in the mansion.’

So, enjoying the relief of having avoided two bombs, I became one with the bed.

Protecting talented new recruits? If you hit from below and come up, will your stomach get stimulated too? It’s not a wrong idea, but there was no need for me to step forward.

Because ministers and department heads of each department also want young and capable talent. Even if I hadn’t stepped forward, the department heads would have pushed the promising new recruits and the ministers would have protected them.

‘Time wasted…’

For a moment, I almost cried. Why did I brave the heat and inconvenience and wander around outside the mansion? When I thought about it rationally, it didn’t make any sense.

Still, if new members of each department are promoted to ministers with the protection of the leaders, ‘if something goes wrong in even one department, the entire administration will be affected.’ The grand plan will be fulfilled,

‘Is that possible?’

To be honest, newbies have to fly and crawl to get the job of director, let alone minister.

That’s right, the people who will nurture those new recruits are ministers and department heads. If you eat the people who raised you and take the empty space, you will never hear good things about them. You will be treated like a black-haired beast that knows no grace.

“Are there any black-haired people in Gamchalseong?”

I muttered my true feelings without realizing it. Eunhye, who raised me, was a crazy person who was rude and scolded me, so…?

‘…Huh?’

While having a meaningless dream, I secretly played with my hair.

A newcomer who took the place of a benefactor without knowing the grace that raised him. A hot, crazy, black-haired beast.

‘It’s me.’

Surprisingly, I was the crazy one. As soon as I started working as a civil servant, my immediate supervisor died, so I took over as team leader, and my new immediate supervisor, the head of the 4th division at the time, had to hand over the position of manager to me as soon as he became the head of the inspection department.

Of course, I didn’t mean to do it, but in other people’s eyes, I may be an ambitious monster.

‘Damn.’

I myself was a black-headed beast… How sad is this…

At the same time, I was jealous of a certain minister at the Ministry of Finance. The minister had a black-haired subordinate that I desperately wanted.

Let’s skip over the fact that the subordinate became independent from the Ministry of Finance.

***

People feel more heartbroken when something exists and then disappears than when it never existed in the first place.

It’s natural. Because if it didn’t exist in the first place, you wouldn’t know how valuable it is. Because we are used to living without it and it is a daily occurrence.

But what happens when you learn the importance of ‘something’ and get used to it to the point where it’s difficult to not have it? If it disappears, will anyone be able to survive?

‘No.’

Unfortunately there isn’t. What’s even more regrettable is that I desperately feel the feelings of that unbearable person.

‘I can’t believe I can’t start my day with a spectacle.’

It’s bitter. It is impossible to rest even for a moment because it is a solar war filled with all kinds of information about the empire, but recently, I was able to laugh when I heard the news of a minister moving to the administration as soon as morning.

How can you not laugh? A minister on vacation and a minister who hates working performed voluntary work while harboring an unachievable dream. It would be harsh to tell you not to laugh after hearing such a report.

And it’s terrible not to hear those reports anymore.

‘Who will make me laugh now?’

Of course, the Empress, the Duchess, and the Prince also make me laugh, but the laughter given by family and the laughter given by the Minister have different personalities. It can never be the same.

I sighed softly and picked up the documents. In times like this, it’s a shame that the minister is on vacation, but it seems like all kinds of accidents will occur when he returns to work. It is truly an embarrassment.

“Hmm?”

With that in mind, as I read the document I had just grabbed, my head tilted.

Documents submitted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Culture and the Ministry of Culture, which jointly manage Croita, the capital of the Trica Empire. Even so, related documents are often uploaded to Croitagi, where all kinds of relics are found when the ground is dug. Especially after Behemoth appeared.

This time, it was related to Behemoth, but it was somewhat – no, very unusual.

[The area surrounding the Behemoth for several kilometers is covered with vegetation. Areas that were originally pastures became more abundant, and grass began to grow even on plain sand. ]

[Even wild beasts tens of kilometers away gathered around the Behemoth. Although it is clearly a carnivore, it shows a strange appearance of grazing grass without targeting cows or sheep. ]

[If the behemoth eats the grass surrounding it, it appears to be reluctant to eat grass from other pastures. When there is no choice, people eat, but it is presumed that a ranking of preferences has developed. ]

‘Huh.’

For a moment, I thought I had read something wrong and read the document again.

I don’t know where to begin with. Should we be surprised that the terrain has suddenly changed with Behemoth at the center, or should we be surprised that carnivores have chosen to become vegetarians with livestock in front of them?

Otherwise, we should be surprised that the livestock, which used to eat whatever they were given, started complaining about the side dishes.

‘What about Trika?’

I was once again impressed by Trica’s power of her. Who would have thought that a country almost 2,000 years ago would create such an enormous being.

Even though they had these things, they were destroyed without being able to use them properly.

[The pasture area is expanding at this point. It is said that in the past, there was a huge grassland near Croita, so it is an encouraging process to regain its historical appearance, but it is impossible to guess how much vegetation will cover it. ]

Anyway, after looking at the last sentence of the document, I quietly put it down.

Thanks to Behemoth, the number of tourists heading to Croita has increased and the imperial family’s livestock are growing healthily. Increasing pasture land is also a very positive thing.

However, if pastures encroach on developed areas or roads, it becomes difficult. There must be moderation in everything.

‘I have to tell you to stop now.’

From my experience so far, Behemoth is a gentle and communicable person. Moreover, it is said that it was a pillar that supported the royal family of Roygas, so they must have known that it would be difficult if the pasture was expanded recklessly.

So say thank you for expanding the pasture, but politely discourage further expansion. Because Behemoth is a guest, not a subject of Livnoman.

That evening, a joint report from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism was posted again.

[When expressing gratitude for the expansion of the pastures and the prosperity of the livestock, Behemoth seemed happy to hear that the livestock were prospering. On the other hand, they reacted differently to pasture expansion. ]

[As a result, it was determined that Behemoth was not involved in the pasture expansion. It is testified that Behemoth is influenced by Constantina, the god of vegetation. ]

This time again, with questionable content, I wonder if I saw it wrongly.

I barely understood that Behemoth had expanded the pasture, but it turned out that God, not Behemoth, had stepped forward. Constantina is also the god of the elves rather than the god of humans.

Of course, the distance between the Duchy of Chenes, where the elf residential district is located, and Croita is not that far. At most, there are one or two great territories blocking it. At least it’s closer than the distance to the islands.

Still, Constantina, who had been quiet since the resurrection of the World Tree, suddenly made an impressive move. Not even close to Behemoth.

‘What on earth is going on?’

Is this a show to demand something from the imperial family?

No, if Constantina or the elves truly want something, there is no need to use this method. Other races, including elves, are close friends of the emperor, and isn’t Duke Ma Jong, the pillar of the empire, the maternal granddaughter of an elf elder? You can make a request to the imperial family from the elves without any hesitation.

Nevertheless, the god who had remained silent moved himself. Through the notable method of expanding pastures.

‘God of vegetation, god of elves…’

I crossed my arms and gathered my thoughts, then slowly turned my attention to the communication port.

‘After all the hardships I’ve had, please suffer just one more day.’

I apologized to the minister in my mind and picked up the communication tool.

Honestly, you can’t leave God-related matters to just anyone.

***

This guy isn’t really helpful in life.

I cursed the emperor in my mind and leaned against the front door of the mansion.

It was only two days ago that I completed my administrative pilgrimage. It was only yesterday that I decided to live as one with my bed. However, that resolution collapsed without being able to last even a day.

– Minister. I heard that you helped revive the World Tree and were Constantina’s benefactor, right?

“Understandably so.”

– Constantina recently intervened on the continent. Of course, she did not give direct instructions to humans or other races, but she covered the area around Croita with vegetation.

“…Why do you do that to Sosin?”

– Why are you asking when you know?

A sudden call came this morning. Since Constantina has behaved unusually, she asks you, who is close to God, to go and find out for yourself.

Tears came out of my eyes. Does this b*stard not want to see me resting?

– Isn’t the World Tree, Constantina’s residence, located in the elf residential district? Jim has prepared a small gift for the elves, so take it with you on your way. It’s a chance for her granddaughter-in-law to show off to her wife’s grandmother.

“My convictions are already showing well.”

– Then try to look better.

However, ‘Your wife’s maternal grandmother is alive and well. Do you often say hello to her?’ The reason for the miracle emerged. If you refute this justification, it will quickly become trash.

‘It was time to go.’

What’s even crazier is that I was planning on going to my maternal grandmother very soon. And with our triplets.

Emperor, you b*stard. Have you installed CCTV in your house? It is truly an incredibly scary thing.
