I Become A Staff Officer In The Demon Army, But I Can Only Do Office Work! - Volume 1 Chapter 14
Editor: (None)
So, Leona. What do you think?
Why do you ask me?
No well, by a method of elimination, I have no one other than Leona to consult with.
Even after a few days, the atmosphere between Rinsan and me didnt change at all, I decided to consult with her because I have no same-gender friend here.
It was impossible to consult with Her Majesty, as of Eri and Yurie, I just met them, and when it comes to consulting to Sofisan, Im worried that I would die because of her tongue.
Which left Leona.
Somehow that makes me angry rather than happy.
But I thought theres no problem if it is you.
Well anyway, isnt it fine? She and you will get used to each other as time went on
Is that how it is in the end?
Yep, though I dont care actually
You know, actually Leona is an irresponsible person except when it comes to research isnt it?
She took my words indifferently, she didnt reduce the magic stones and golem, and she didnt clean her room, and her clothes looked dirty.
Though she gives the image of never taking a bath, her pretty hairstyle making it feel vague. That was how Leona as a person was.
Ah, right. I want a budget to develop a new magic stone
The way you try to divert the topic is just way too shabby! In fact, I did tell you the opposite, no? Reduce them, not increase the type!
I think that alone derail our original topic though?
Well, thats true. No wait, dont say that
Now then, let us return the topic.
Youre the one who changes the topic in the first place
I just want to talk with you more?
Liar!
Seriously, I didnt know what this Mad person thinking.
Or perhaps, Im someone who was lacking when it comes to understanding a womans heart? But theres no way we would have a huh? Perhaps she loves me? moment.
After all, shes Leona.
Well then, return to the original topic, I think it is better for you not to think and meddle too much. After all, a woman is a delicate creature
Somehow, when the one who said that is Leona, it lacks persuasive power..
What do you think am I?!
Fanatic magic researcer. Mad Magist, I guess?
Thats why youre being hated! Be a little more gentle with girls!
Its fine, I use this att.i.tude only when speaking with Leona. After all, Leona is special
E-Eh? I-Is that so?
Sure? Of course, if you dont agree, then I will change
I never said this to her but.
I knew she was far older than I do since she was a long-lived demi-human, but somehow, she felt more like a close friend of mine, whom we had a long relations.h.i.+p already.
Thanks to that, I felt like it was okay to have a casual talk with her, though it might be because of her weird personality.
N-NO, It is fine. Its already late for you to be polite all of a sudden
See, it is fine then
U-Unn
Ok, this matter is over.
..What discussion are we going to talk after my talk about women?
Oh please Akirchan. It about adding extra budget for the research department.
Ah, right What was that for again, developing a new magic stone?
Thats right! I thought of a new refining magic stones, but I cannot do it with the current research facilitates, can you increase our budget a little?
I see No matter which world, equipment costs money.
How much money do you need?
Well, equipment cost, maintenance cost, and miscellaneous cost
Leona tried to calculate the rough estimate of the cost. Also, the currency unit was called Hel.
And according to Leona, the estimated cost was around 40% of the annual budget of the research and development department.
Certainly, research costs money. It was hard to decide the research budget because it needs specific cost-effectiveness compared to other departments.
With that being the case, Ive decided the answer.
Not a chance.
WHY?! Looking at the atmosphere just now, you should accept my proposal!
I dont decide budget by atmosphere
You fiend! Demon!
Im the one who is a human here you know?
That is not what I mean!
Leona heaves heavy breath after shouting.
I wonder why our conversation always turns like this every single time. Compared to talking with Her Majesty, somehow it felt tiresome in a different meaning.
Leona, what you need to do now is to decrease the number of magic stones and Golem types. If you want to research new magic stones to achieve that, then I will consider increasing your budget
No. Besides, that was something you just thought just now isnt it?
Are you capable of mind reading too?
It is easy to know that, just by looking at Akirchan personality
I wonder if Im really that easy to understand
But right now, a request for additional budget application pretty much came from everywhere you know? From the transport department, information department, so on and so forth. Of course, I also want to increase the Logistic department budget as well. However, because of that, I cannot afford to give special treatment to any department
Especially the information department.
They need a lot of money for a lot of vague things
Just leave them you know I dont know the situation with the Transportation Department, but you can leave alone the information department, no? They regularly used information gathering as an excuse to hold a party after all
Oi, wait a moment, what do you mean by that?
Oke, I understand. Let us reduce their budget for next year
Though one can only cut the temporary extra budget. After all, the decision of the annual budget was the work of the politicians.
Ah, right. If Im not wrong, the research and development department works cooperatively with the information department regarding studying the captured enemy technology, no?
Huh? Thats right. didnt I already told you about that?
You never told me!
To study the enemys weapon technology, in a war, was something reasonable.
It was one of the aspects of war, studying the enemys weapon weak point. Along with their weakness, we could also know our own weakness
..
Next time, I would like to see the weapon you guys had captured from the enemy.
I understand. Now would be inconvenient, how about next week?
Very well. Let us organize a plan.
