Chapter 503: Deputy's Daily Work
"Lord Irene, you're back..."
"Who is this man?"
The respected Lady Irene had suddenly said she had something important to go out for not long ago, and now she has brought back a man. This surprised the two girls who served as both her subordinates and servants.
They have followed Irene for many years and know that she is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. If this man is just handsome, he would not be brought back. The only explanation is...
The two of them unconsciously turned their eyes to Kira's red hair.
"He has the same hair color as Lady Irene!"
Heine, the girl in black tights, and Juliet, the girl in white dress, looked at each other. As their eyes passed, they knew from their years of tacit understanding that they shared the same thoughts.
"Could it be Lady Irene's...son?"
"Impossible! Lady Irene isn't married, so how could she have a son?"
"But he has red hair..."
Red hair is extremely rare in the entire Albares Empire. If it was just a person who happened to have red hair, how could he be brought back by Lady Irene? This shows that their relationship is unusual!
This reasoning makes sense.
Unfortunately it is wrong.
Kira followed behind Irene, waved to the two enthusiastically, and said hello with a smile: "Hello, I am the new wizard who joined the 'Irene Team'. We will be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me, sisters."
These two girls were created by Irene using personality additions. They are no more than 20 years old. It’s right for me to call them sisters!
After a pause, he added, "By the way, I'm Sister Irene's younger brother!"
"younger brother?!"
The two girls were shocked. They didn't know about others, but didn't they know about Irene, the creator? How could there be a brother? She must have recognized him!
But why did Lady Irene want to recognize this man as her brother? Just because of his hair color? Impossible...
Although the two were created by Irene, their abilities are only at the level of Fairy Tail S-class wizards. They cannot sense Kira's powerful magic at all, so they find Irene's behavior incredible.
So they turned their eyes to Irene, the woman who was like their mother.
Irene nodded, acknowledging Kira's statement: "He will be my deputy in the future."
Deputy?
The black and white girls blinked, looked at each other, and screamed wildly in their hearts: Who on earth is this man? ! How could he gain the trust of Lady Irene in such a short time? ! !
They knew that if they just needed someone to help Lady Irene solve some work problems, the two of them would be more than enough and there was no need to find an assistant; and in daily life, no one was more trustworthy or could do a better job than them.
Thinking of this , the two men looked at Irene with their eyes that slowly changed from shock to sadness, mixed with a bit of gossip that only women have: So, love will disappear, right, Lady Irene?
“…”
The corners of Irene's mouth twitched. She wondered if she had forgotten to add some points to their IQ when she used the personality enhancement function. Otherwise, how could these two children not see such an obvious thing? !
Kira took in the awkward looks of the three people and laughed in his heart.
If he could hear the two waitresses' inner voices, he would definitely touch their heads and say to them in a distressed tone: Love will not disappear, but it will shift.
…
Irene asked Kira to be her deputy, so Kira naturally had to do his job well.
After all, he is not only a qualified magic merchant, but also an excellent magician. He has extensive experience in infiltration operations and is extremely capable of dealing with various emergencies.
Don't forget that he had a part to play in the great construction of Magnolia, so things like managing town affairs were naturally easy for him to handle.
"A magic school is going to be built here?"
"Yes! No matter how hard life is, we must not let children suffer. No matter how poor we are, we must not let education go. Wizards are the foundation of our Albares Empire. As a town directly under the management of the Twelve Shields, we must take it seriously! Allocate funds!"
“A vendor market is going to be built here?”
"Yes! Only when the economy develops can the lives of the citizens become better and Lady Irene's reputation spread far and wide. We must pay attention to it! Allocate funds!"
“We’re going to build an orphanage here?”
"How dare you! The citizens under Lady Irene's rule are all living in peace and contentment, so where do these orphans come from? I reject this!"
In the secretarial room, in front of a dark red sandalwood table, Kira sat upright with a serious expression, holding a pen, reviewing each document submitted by his subordinates one by one.
There were three stacks of documents in front of him, with the unprocessed ones in the front, the approved ones on the left, and the rejected ones on the right. Each stack was thirty centimeters high.
This is government affairs that have accumulated for several months.
Kira was not the only one in the room. Irene's maid in black, Heine, was also here. She was standing quietly beside Kira, staring at him handling documents without saying a word.
Compared to the other maid, Juliet, Heine's personality is calmer, which is why Irene chose to keep her here. But after watching Kira processing documents for most of the day, she couldn't help but complain.
But it's not her fault. Almost everyone who spends some time with Kira will become like this.
"What the hell is wrong with this person?!"
"Isn't he a traveling merchant? How come he is more experienced than those who have been doing this for more than ten years..."
Especially those words like "There is no poverty under the rule of Lady Irene", which are so convincing that they are even more insidious than the most disgusting politicians.
Heine felt that his simple and naive worldview had been greatly impacted.
Half a day later, the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall struck twelve noon.
Kira immediately stopped what he was doing, threw the pen away, pulled the chair back, and leaned back on it. Then he lifted his feet and placed them on the table, stretched his hands upward to stretch his muscles. His movements were extremely smooth, as if he had done it countless times.
"Huh... I'm finally off work!"
Kira twisted his stiff neck and said, "I'm so tired... Heine-chan, come and massage my shoulders!"
“…”
"Hurry up! Have you forgotten what Sister Irene told you?"
The corner of Heine's mouth twitched, and the order given to him by Lady Irene flashed through his mind. He could only reluctantly walk forward and start rubbing Kira's shoulders.
But she was screaming in her heart: Damn it! This guy has been here for three days, and he hasn't handled government affairs well, but he leaves work on time more than anyone else! The key is that this bastard waits until ten o'clock in the morning to come, and doesn't work in the afternoon and evening. Instead, he runs out to wander the streets, and even says he's "visiting the people's sentiments"! !
I only work two hours a day, and you dare to ask for such a high salary from Lady Irene? ! ! Lady Irene actually gave it to me! ! Why? ! Juliet and I have not received any salary for so many years! !
Thinking of this, Heine became more and more indignant, and unconsciously added another three points of strength to his hands.
But Kira seemed to be completely oblivious to the girl's resentment and anger. He just closed his eyes and enjoyed her massage, moaning softly: "Comfortable! A little harder here! Good job!"
This guy...
Heine glared at Kira, ready to give him a hard blow!
Suddenly, Kira spoke first: "I say, Heine."
"What?"
"Which restaurant is good around here? Please recommend it to me!"
Eat, eat, eat... all you know is eating!! I'll eat you to death!!
"I don't know. We don't need to eat."
Kira ignored her cold tone and continued to ask, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, right? Sister Irene hasn't eaten pork either?"
Heine frowned in dissatisfaction. She felt that something was wrong with Kira's words, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She could only shout at the man in front of her as usual: "Pay attention to your address! Call me 'Lady Irene'!!"
Kira turned a deaf ear to her words, like a super rogue who bullies others by taking advantage of his power: "I am Sister Irene's adopted brother, and it's not working hours now, so it's reasonable for me to call her 'sister'!"
I don’t know if it was to avoid being exposed in front of Kira, but Irene did not tell the two waitresses about her suspicion of Kira. So in the past few days, they have been tolerant of Kira’s misbehavior and really treated Kira as the second-in-command.
If it were a normal person, they would definitely feel resentful if such a person fell from the sky, but Heine and Juliet would not do that. Who made them only listen to Irene?
"That won't work either!"
Heine gritted his teeth and said this with difficulty, crying silently in his heart: Why on earth would Lady Irene accept such a person as her brother...
