'Why are you replying now to my pigeon messages? I'm struggling to save humanity! You must reply to my calls immediately, every minute, every second, whenever you hear from me, even if it's on your parents' deathbed! !”
Outraged, Alfred threw a pen that was lying nearby at one of the secretaries.
It was only five days ago that Alfred, who was only a young man from the village, pulled out a hero's sword from the Cave of Trials.
A report was immediately made to the king, and thus a squad of secretaries was hastily formed, including myself, to serve as the valiant man's personal assistants.
The duties of the Secretarial Corps were to support Alfred the Brave in the smooth execution of his duties.
The duties of a hero are to defeat the Demon King.
“Ouch, ............ sorry about that. I'll be careful in the future."
“......, how long are you going to stand there? It's an eyesore, so get it out of here!"
Altred throws his pen at him again with an evil look on his face.
One of the secretaries slunk back toward him.
"Hey, are you all right?”
he asked his colleague, who looked dejected.
"No, I'm fine. But still, ...... is crap. I wouldn't even notice if a pigeon came in the middle of the night."
"I know. What in the world is wrong with that guy? He was a commoner in the village just a few days ago, wasn't he? Even the great nobility ain't that arrogant!”
The secretary unit is selected from those who are involved in the government affairs of the country.
Since it was related to the survival of the human race, the best people were gathered.
“Who the hell do you think you are? Did you hear about the horse-drawn carriage incident?"
"What's that?"
"It seems they took a carriage to the dungeon to inspect it."
"Oh."
"It seems that the carriage stopped about 100 meters before the dungeon. In a dungeon, monsters may suddenly jump out, so they took care to stop a little before the dungeon."
"So what? Everything seems fine to me.”
I sip my coffee as I respond.
'That bastard . How could I, a brave man, be made to walk an extra distance?"
"What the hell is that? It's only a hundred meters!'
I'm just trying to be tactful here, but if he gets mad about something like that, I can't stand it! I should never have volunteered to be a secretary to a hero.
“Yeah, I regret it too. I never thought the hero would be such a son of a bitch.
The two of them glanced at the room of the hero.
Alfred had designated the room as the “hero room,” and a gold-plated plaque had been affixed to the door.
And they've spent a lot of money on dungeon crawling and taking in S-class adventurers to do it as parasites, right?
'It seems so. I don't know if it's about efficiency or what, but if he's a hero, he should try to conquer the dungeon by himself."
He moved his face up and down in fierce agreement.
“Speaking of which, you're the one who's supposed to be collecting the grant money, right? Are you okay with that?”
He had never heard of such things as heroic subsidies until he was directed to do so by Alfred.
When Alfred had ordered it for the first time, he could not believe his ears.
Shaking his head, he replied.
"It's not okay. He told me to go around to the leading merchants and collect money. After the defeat of the Demon King, when the Demon Kingdom's territory is divided and ruled, I will be given priority in the acquisition of commercial lands, so they want me to use that as bait. He said he's going to use the money to get good equipment."
'I don't know if that's okay. Is it okay to do that? That would be illegal."
“Probably not. He is a man who thinks he is the authority of the law."
"He's going to get into trouble later, isn't he?"
"Yeah, that's why I'm so nervous."
After filling out all the forms, closing them in a binder.
"To be honest, I'm thinking of changing my job. I got into the government job for future security, but it's not worth it if the hard work and mental strain continues. If I break my body, there's no way I'll survive. ......"
Since he became secretary, his daily duties have always extended into the wee hours of the night, cutting into his sleeping hours.
But Alfred, the hero, always finished his work on time.
“Hey, don't say that. You just joined the secretarial service, so let's work a little harder.'
I'll do my best, but I'm honestly not sure how well I'll do under that ............ power-hungry hero.
"If it were me, I'd listen to your complaint or ask for advice anytime."
“Yeah, thanks.”
And then...
“Hey, come here!"
Alfred's hybrid yell echoed through the secretary's office.
