Six days after the earthquake.

Waiting for me just back in the Devil's Capital was a mountain of work and everyone at the station.

The documents awaiting approval were carefully read and signed, and attempts were made to reduce the bundle of documents piled up in the Tachiyama peak.

If you do your job, you'll forget it.

I encouraged my work with such hope, but my heart was honest after all. I can't do my job.

I think I'm done cleaning up, but Eli is pointing out a simple miscalculation.

I'm so unmotivated.

But there were no bureaucrats to pursue in depth about it.

Neither Eli, nor Juliet, nor Riina have said anything.

Mr. Sophia is the same, working with Tekipaki while caricaturing with Mr. Yurier without talking to me.

In times like this, their attitude is appreciated.

Being pursued deeply won't answer, and even if I did, it would annoy them.

I can't help being scolded for being a traitor in an act of enmity for wanting to help humanity, which is supposed to be an enemy, just because it is a victim.

If my boss was like that, I wouldn't normally like it.

So now, let's sweeten them up and do their job.

but in the end I couldn't achieve the norm on this day.

We also have to make changes to our supply plans in offensive operations, and there are many jobs that were accumulating.

Oh, boy, this is overtime.

But I can't blame anyone because I'm bad from one to a hundred. Exactly what you deserve.

After returning non-duty officers, it is a pleasant job to sit at the desk for a good reason.

But we also need to work out some ideas here to leave rust behind.

Some of the officers on duty snitch on Mr. Sophia that I work unauthorized overtime.

It can be a lot of hassle when they do it, so they help out a little bit with the work that the duty staff are accumulating, brewing coffee, and bringing in plugs.

Doing so would implant the awareness that it would be easier for the director to work overtime.

Hey, who is it, the guy who said bribe?

The crying child will also shut up and "work on burying tons of expired rotten food in the dirt with his nose pinched," you bastard.

Well, jokes aside, let's do what we have to do.

"It's okay to go home now, except on duty. Good luck."

Is the officer on duty today Mr. Yurier?

Then we'll figure it out. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing, right?

---

Something's wrong with Master Akira.

No, that's not unusual on its own. This guy is always crazy.

But this time there was a different kind of "weird".

"Hey, Mr. Director. It's about the wheat in the Nishina region... hey. Reply."

…………

"I'm gonna hit you?

Like right now, for example, I've never said I wouldn't notice until I was punched in the face by Master Yurier's presence.

What do you say? Does it feel like I said, "Not here, mind"?

Work is also slow - that's the usual thing. All the sighs and no hegemony - it was always the same.

... erm, weird anyway.

What happened on the front line?

I don't care if you ask Master Suomi, who would be most familiar with it.

"I hear it's not a change, other than that..."

That is.

I'm not even losing my motivation for falling back.

So what does it mean?

I can't work because I'm concerned.

... Oh, no, all I care about is that "if Akira's work is slow, this one accumulates work," not something else that makes a deep sense or something, but something simpler -,

"Hey, does Mr. Sophia ignore me too!?"

You shouldn't. I'm in a soil pot of thought about it.

"Uh, yes, excuse me. What is it?

"Two people at all and we're close...... Oh, well, no. The director's out of his mind, so I'd like you to confirm this instead."

"Okay. Later, okay?

"Fine.... and I'm glad you're doing something about it."

With that said, Master Yurier will give you Ale and Master Tokito Akira.

Apparently he won't come back as soon as his soul has traveled to heaven again.

... Also, right?

I get anxious over here watching. How is it a good thing to talk to you at times like this...... I don't know.

"Lady Akira has an idea of Lady Akira. So I won't do anything until Akira says what she thinks."

So I made the same choice as before.

When Akira thinks deeply about something, there is no clapping.

He himself has spoken many times about why he keeps his mouth shut.

I mean, "isn't that annoying".

As for that, I have said it several times. "Please don't," he said.

But Master Akira will continue to do so flatly afterwards.

That must be Master Akira's - kind of kindness.

I... no, we are a little sweet about that tenderness.

That has made it possible up to now.

The barracks will turn and work will proceed once and for all.

Sometimes, Akira finds improvements, makes adjustments to adjustments, and performs them.

Nothing wrong with that. Nothing...

"It's okay to go home now, except on duty. Good luck."

... Is this already the time? The flow is too fast these days.

While Lady Akira was gone, "Wouldn't you come home soon?" and "I wish you'd come home safely." The time had been slow enough to hope again and again.

I also prayed that time would pass faster.

But this is not what I was looking for, I think.

I don't know what's going on.

"Ha... uh, ku..."

Stretch your arms and spine to weaken your body.

I can't help thinking about it. I just do my job. We'll try again tomorrow.

Have a conversation with Master Akira if you can.

On duty today is Master Yurier and the other bureaucrat.

But you're going to have a threesome today.

I've told you many times not to do that, but Master Akira won't stop saying, "Because this was normal over there".

Each person works differently, so it can't be pursued too deeply.

If that's not possible, Akira will tell you...

"Hey, hey"

If you think about things like that, there are voices and tricks that invite me in the distance.

That's Master Yurier, and no matter how you look at it, it just looks like the kid is inviting you to play.

"What is it?

"Mm, I need to talk to you for a second. Can you hang out with me for a second?

"Yes? From now on?

"It has to be now. So what? Let's just go to the break room."

No, no, what are you talking about? This guy.

You're on duty today, aren't you?

And now I'm talking. Is it okay to leave me on duty alone?

"It's okay, it's okay. The other one left today."

Um, it's not okay.

I don't see a single element that's okay.

But my resistance was vain, and I was taken away somewhere by Master Yurier.

And behind me, Lady Riedel and Lady Suomi follow in sigh.

Um, well, who's at work...?
