When we enter Cruz's house, we head straight to the reception room.

It was the maids at the Cruz Mansion who panicked.

Until now, when it came to visitors, it was just Luca and Yulina who didn't need to be particularly entertained.

Or fems and morphies coming from the village of Murg, etc.

This time the customer is the Secretary of State. He's a dignitary of the government. There's no way I won't panic.

I'll have a word with the marshal. Tea, please.

"Don't worry"

Yes, sir, if you tell me, you can't be unprepared.

Start preparing tea and tea treats in a big hurry. The maids seem surprisingly handy.

And Steph and Millet were nervous about the bees.

Sir Military, a dignitary, wants to speak to Uncle Brave, the Horsemen.

I don't know what the story is. I guess I'm extra nervous because it's an unusual situation.

"Steph, you can take your time in the other room."

Cruz takes care of Steph and the others.

"Yes, thank you."

Steph and Millet tried to move into a separate room.

The Lord of War will stop it.

"Stef, it's a story that's relevant to all of them."

"Really?

"Yes."

If the military secretary tells you that, Stef and the others can't leave the room either.

Sit in the bench nervously.

Cruz, the host, sat in front of him, pinching his desk.

Steph and Millet sit to the left and right of Cruz.

Timishoara and Vivi sit in a long chair in a remote position in the reception room.

I looked at this one with interest.

I stand at the rear of the cruz, at the end of the reception room, not to be conspicuous.

Sigishoara is in my pocket, and Fem and Morphy are beside me.

Femme sat down and Morphy held my hand subtly.

Colette was not sure whether to sit next to her sister or on the Vivi's bench.

Cruz says to Colette like that.

"Colette, come here."

"Yes."

Cruz sat on his knees with Colette nearby.

And in that flow, Cruz says.

"So, military secretary. What is a story?

Cruz expressed that this was an informal place by putting Colette on her knees.

A meeting between the Secretary of State and Count Conradin would be important.

It's hard to say no when it comes to contributions to the state as a lord, etc.

I guess that's why I emphasised that I would hear it as just a tea drink.

Cruz seems to be studying as much as possible with a fine lord. There is no gap.

A maid brings tea, and when she leaves the room, the military secretary opens her mouth.

"Let's just say it's straightforward. I want to scout Mr. Stef to the military department."

"Whoa, I didn't expect to pull out my minister... and the Secretary of State is amazing."

That's what Cruz laughed at.

It's just a joke about the military secretary.

At that time, Timi speaks from the side.

Cruz said it was an informal tea drink, so Timi also pinches his mouth.

"Now you're going to quarrel with the Military Ministry? That's good, that sounds fun. I'll give you a hand."

Timi said that with a laugh.

It's just a joke, and he's holding me back.

"There must be no quarrel or other annihilation. I apologize if I was offended. Of course, if they refuse, they'll give up."

The Secretary of State is somewhat low-profile for Cruz. I guess you don't want to turn it around on the enemy.

That's a very clever decision, as a politician.

The Secretary of State flickers at Timi and then returns his gaze to Cruz.

I'm asking you in the dark who the hell Timi is.

Cruz asks Timi with his eyes if he can introduce him to the military secretary.

"You don't mind?

Timi said with a smile.

"Sir, she is Her Excellency Viscount Timishoara. He's the archduke's aunt for the ancient dragon Enchanted Dragon."

"This is a late greeting."

The Secretary of State stood up and approached Timi and bowed his head deeply.

"You don't have to worry about it. I didn't come here as the Grand Duke's Regent. I'm only here as Cruz's friend now."

So, Timi laughed.

Cruz looked at Steph, not having the appearance to care about the exchange.

"What do you want Stef to do?

I'm not going to work for the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"Oh well. Sir, that seems to be the case."

"Really? Too bad."

Then the military secretary sees Millet.

"Your elf lady was also seen as a competent magician."

"No, because I'm just a country girl who's just starting to study magic"

"Be modest. If you can come to the Ministry of Military Affairs, let's get this out on the moon."

As such, the Secretary of State offered exorbitant compensation.

One blacksmith working in Wangdu. It's about ten times that monthly income.

The Wizard originally earned a high income. It can also be described as quite expensive as a reward for the magician.

"No, I'm not going to be a soldier"

"Was I? Too bad, you can always tell me if you change your mind"

That said, the military secretary looked at me.

"How about Arla, too, if you like"

"No, I'm out of line."

"If you are Mr. Arula, you can prepare the position of Commander of the Knights of Magic."

The military secretary laughs. I laughed back, too.

The Commander of the Demon Knights is the position where the Secretary of State examined me for office after the Demon King crusade.

Perhaps you should consider this to be a misidentification.

The Secretary of State says to Cruz.

"Baron Bartel has been very rude today"

"No, I don't care. Nevertheless, the Baron was out of the ranks of the Enchantress Alliance."

"Except for someone who wants me to lead the Demonic Knights, and I have to say that under the circumstances, he's the best."

"Oh, my God."

"Really..."

I've always been scared when you'd mention who I am.

But the military secretary never pursued me.

He's not even going to persevere in soliciting Stef and the others.

Perhaps the real purpose was to establish friendship with Cruz.

On many occasions, the Secretary of State returned, in honor of Cruz's contribution to the kingdom.

Cruz says after Sir Military leaves.

"What are you doing here?

"Saana."

Despite the obvious realization of me, the Secretary of State did not pursue it in depth.

In the meantime, does that mean I should make a loan?

Maybe I'm more scared than they say.

Then we decided to return to the village of Murgu.

As he walks toward the Transition Magic Regiment room, the maid rushes in.

"Master Cruz, there is a Messenger of the Enchantress Guild."

"Huh? What's going on?

After meeting with the messenger, I decided to go home.
