156 Episode 49: Vacation Suggestions (2/2)

How much of a shock has it had to Gakun that Navre has eaten on its strengths? In addition, Charne, Tomas and Tilty are achieving remarkable results in different fields.

Maybe I can't help but feel in the wind that Gakun has been left out in that.

(I don't know, I don't even have a job that would make Gakun feel confident about anything right now...)

Originally, the magic bureau was a gathering of necessary rushes, slightly different from the work originally planned.

Gakun would have been good enough if he had served as an escort. But the magic bureau has been formed. Charne has produced results and Navre is showing growth again.

Priscilla has taken over the office to help us with the process, and Tomas and Tilty have succeeded in incorporating the Demon Stone into their magic props. If I do look to the side, I can't help but blur and see what I'm doing.

”But Master Anis is right. I'm extra sorry to Master Navre if I'm depressed. I'll try to win again.”

Gakun said that and smiled, but that made me feel terrible because it looked like a misleading smile.

”So, any good ideas? Tomas.”

”Stop doing me a favor when I'm in trouble first.”

I inquire as I sit in the corner so as not to interfere with Tomas' work, which was compiling materials in one of the rooms, the workshop directly under the Magic Arts Bureau.

It's me who came to disturb you in the room, and Tomas and Tilty who were in the workshop. Tilty has been in the workshop a lot lately, so I often see him with Tomas.

They act more together because they're two people involved in development, but they don't go so badly together... rather than because they're not in the mood to step into each other, it looks like a really quiet relationship is being built. I'm not saying we're close, but it's not a bad idea.

”I don't know what the problem is, but I can't help it.”

”Er... something like this, man to man talk to each other or something?

”What do you expect from me? It's not a store.”

”I know, but come on...”

”Then you know there's nothing you can do about it, right?

Tilty has said annoyingly to interrupt his conversation with Tomas. Close the book you were looking through and Tilty glances at me.

”I don't know about sword skill, but if you're going to say it about magic props, it's just because you happen to have a demon stone that matches Sharne's magic. I'm sure that's what's missing.”

”That's right...”

”All you have to do is leave him alone, worried that there's nothing you can do about it.”

It was an opinion to go with a Tilty-looking bassari. I know that's right, but I can't help but wonder if Gakun isn't in the mood.

I think Gakun, who is usually in good shape and has a stupid spot, is suffering a lot because he seems so serious.

I know it's a favor, but I can't help but do something...

”You're depressing yourself too...?

”Well, calm down, Master Tilty.... Dear Anis, why don't you change your mind a little?

”Mood swings?

”You said that the other day when you were in a meeting with Mr. Drags. At the end of the birthday festival, Keravnos was also completed. So why don't you let me in for a little vacation?”

”I said...”

Yes, it's true that Uncle Drags said that. If I had planned it, I wouldn't have been involved in running the magic birthday. So it was supposed to be a holiday on Birthday, but with the intervention of the Empire, things change.

The days of launching the Magic Arts Bureau and being chased by the development of Ideale and Keravnos. That settled me down, so I thought I should take another vacation.

Originally, the operation of the city was the work of Uncle Drags, and the work I do in the city agency follows the process of scrutinizing its contents and compiling and submitting to Uncle Drags the necessary plans and requests from here after grasping the plan, and taking what needs authorization in the country once a week when I return.

The construction of the city is going well, and there are newly-arrived chambers of commerce and adventurer guild meetings, but the number of projects that I necessarily have to attend is decreasing.

The next time I'm going to be busy, I think it's after the ceremony when the City of Magic is officially completed and the subsequent development plan comes up.

That's why Uncle Drags also recommended me by saying that if I was to rest, it would only be now. But my response remained on hold because I wasn't sure what to do even when they said I was on vacation.

”Even if I'm off, Yufi will be busy, so I feel like I can go home to Wang Du... and if everyone wants to rest, you can definitely take a break...”

”Then you won't be able to show it.”

”Oh. So, yeah. Am I supposed to say that I would do something like take a breath but not a vacation......?

”... I mean?

Tomas didn't find a good word, either, or he seemed lost in words. I can't really absorb what I'm trying to say either, and I inquire.

Then it was Tilty, not Tomas, who answered my question.

”So if you don't have a demon stone, why don't you go and play in the woods in the name of going looking for a demon stone?

”Huh?”

I turned my eyes round to Tilty, who had said it in a throwing manner.
