32 32. Imperial Adventurer Guild President Jereminias.txt (1/2)

Guild President Jereminias, the chief executive of the Adventurer's Guild in the Empire, is a forty-eight-year-old tiger man with an unusual background.

At the age of 15, he was drafted into the army, as were his friends from his village, and was officially recruited as a knight, and at the age of 22 he rose to become the second in command of the Empire's pride and joy, the second in command of the Knights of the Empire.

He was later involved in the creation of the guild of adventurers under the leadership of the Emperor, and became the second president of the guild.

His name, ”Tyrannical Tiger of Thunder”, is one of the most courageous names in the Empire, and abroad he is considered to be on a par with generals and magic chiefs.

However, Jereminias himself regretted becoming the Guild President.

''It's not the kind of thing you can be in charge of,'' he said. You're on paperwork every day. Boring.

The Torahman's female secretary, who is standing nearby, asks him, ”Why didn't you see that coming?

'Why didn't you see this coming?　The Chancellor used to be the Deputy Chief of the Zweiloth, didn't he?

Zweiloth is the name of the Empire's pride of knighthood.

A handful of elites are able to become the second-in-command of the Order in the Empire, which shows Jereminias' ability.

I've been told that the Knights have paperwork to do at the executive level, and they gave me a second-in-command who's good at that. And it wasn't all paperwork like this.

He explains and laments that.

In fact, the then Knight General, who took into account his character and fighting prowess, had been working behind the scenes to keep him from getting busy with paperwork.

He wasn't stupid, but he wasn't good at thinking deeply, and it hadn't occurred to him to do so.

The female secretary noticed, but that didn't change anything about the situation.

'The same goes for the increase in demons and raids using transference. If I left, the conversation would be quicker, and we could avoid being left in the care of ...... eight gods of glory.

Yereminias was confident that the Yereminias would not be lagging behind a horde of ogres and gargoyles.

That was probably true, the secretary admitted, but unfortunately, it was still a fragile organization that would have its own glitches if the Guild President was away from his duties for long periods of time.

''Are the lords also serious about defending their territory? It seems that the reason we were able to control the damage in each area is not just because of the Eight Goddesses' warriors, either.''

Quickly reading and confirming the information from the various branches of the Adventurer's Guild, Yereminias felt a little relieved.

Although the Eight Divine Brilliance is the Empire's proudest strength, and perhaps the strongest group in the world, it shouldn't be too much of a rubbish.

The imperial knights are also strong, but there are not that many of each knight group as they are all elite.

If you're not that satisfied, why don't you prepare someone to take over for you?　As long as you can provide a substitute, I don't think they'll object, do you?

The secretary recommended.

Even the top brass of the Empire has doubts about whether it's really the right personnel to keep the powerful force of Jereminias tied up in paperwork.

So her prediction that as long as they can find personnel who can properly fill in the holes, there won't be strong opposition, is not wrong.

However, there's the problem of not having a replacement.

'But who would?　Sometimes it's the guy who can unite the adventurers and silence the self-righteous aristocrats with a single glance. I'd love to be introduced to you.

Yereminias' words were filled with sincerity.

''...... If you have the paperwork skills to match them, I can only think of Lady Vilhemina of the Eight Divine Light,''

I can't!

He dismisses the secretary's suggestion with his light blue eyes peeled back.

'He could silence the habituals and the selfish aristocrats, and he'd do his job. But it's out of the question!'

Why?

The secretary looked really dubious about his reaction.

(Okay, this guy doesn't know.)

Jereminias realizes.

He said that Villehemina has even a doubtful section of loyalty to the empire and the royal family.

Her respect and loyalty is solely to Bartolomeus.

It would be nice if she at least made an effort to hide it, but there was no way she could be trusted.

She is recognized as a member of the Eight Divine Brilliance because her trust in the Emperor and Bartolomeus is unwavering.

Contrary to her rough exterior and sketchy personality, Yereminias is very loyal to her homeland and the Emperor.
