I Become A Staff Officer In The Demon Army, But I Can Only Do Office Work! - Volume 1 Chapter 20

1-2-10 (Rationality is not the main element of people)

The fact that the logistics department had only a few people, of course currently in the military we have small rear-force, but this time, we can attribute it to the personnel department who simply work slow

Ah, I dont understand The salary payment last time was also getting delayed.

While ordering some snack, to relish the slander from the newcomer and other departments, Sofisan drank the alcohol like a gla.s.s of water.

Yet her face was only slightly getting red. Her alcohol tolerance seems to be quite high.

Perhaps, Sofisan was an excellent magician? Why did she choose to be placed behind the desk if she had such a high spec?

The delay in getting paid is a matter of life and death Maybe we should ask Her Majesty to separate the accounting from the Personnel Department management, and place someone like Eri-san as the head

I think that is a good idea. The personnel department management had to do a lot of jobs already, from recruitment, relocation, promotion, demotion, etc

Time had pa.s.sed since we entered the tavern, but we only talked about work all the time.

Ive been together with her for a long time, but I dont know much about her.

Well, I guess I have not much to ask about to begin with, but

But, if we do that, we will have to find some recruit again then

Weve gathered a good amount of executive already, so this time I think of lowering the requirement. The worst, I will accept those who are being able to read, write, and simple calculation as a requirement. After that, we can only hope with the new education system

I guess so Ah but, since the logistic department would only grow from now on, I think we can just separate the recruitment into two, one for an executive candidate and one for the general staff

But then, that is the job of the personnel department, no?

No matter what world, a necessary expense is needed

They can ask some convenience when it comes to distribution of unnecessary extra goods from the transportation corps warehouse which was recently being placed under the Logistic Department.

It was bad to depend on Her Majesty all the time after all.

In other words, a bribe ?

Call it Necessary Expense

I cant believe hearing that from someone who accused other department doing corruption during imperial council.

It doesnt mean Im a perfectionist, besides I only did that to advance things more smoothly.

Besides, when it comes to accusing frauds, it was the job of the Military Police.

Im deceived.

Deceived you said Do you think Im a virtuous human?

I thought of all humanity as a cunning creature so I misjudged a little

Well, sorry about that

Although she said that, Sofisan didnt look angry. Or rather, she smiled looked satisfied.

If youre planning on doing that, then why not doing it from the beginning?

Which mean?

What I mean is, the efficiency would be better if you used that method to those whom weakness you hold no?

Ah, I see

Certainly, that would be more efficient. With their weakness in my hand, I could increase the numbers of ally I had, and I wont have to worry about any weird things to happen behind my back. Though that might work, I didnt do it for two reasons.

Two reasons?

Yes. First, I dont want to betray Her Majesty.

Huh?

Well, it was a simple thing.

Her Majesty was that kind of person. Though it was not appropriate to say it, She was the kind of person that wont admit that there was ma.s.sive corruption.

I cannot be silent to such Her Majesty, and increase my ally in the process

My logistic reform is tied to the Demon Army reform. Sooner or later, we had to condemn the big corruption

I see. Well, I dont think that is a good idea though

Leave me be

So, the second reason is?

Ah, the second reason is more simple.

What is it?

Im afraid that someone might stab me in the back because I hold many people weakness, that was what I thought.

That development usually happens in the detective manga I read. People who held others weakness usually getting killed. Which mean, I might end up with the same fate!

.

Sofisan, your cold stare, its hurt.

Emm Akirsama.

Yes?

That second reason, it was your main reason isnt it?

Did you read my mind again?

Why did you think I wont find out about it?

I guess she was right. Thats true But then, I wonder if Sofisan was actually able to read someone mind.

Lets change the topic. If I dont escape when the grave hole still shallow, I might fall into a deeper hole.

By the way, why Sofisan in the Demon Army?

in the demon army?

EEEK, her eyes turn scary

Ah no, I dont mind it a rude way

There was no deep meaning to it, just a curious question.

As anyone could see, Sofisan was someone with a high spec.

There were many elite jobs in the capital that give more reward compared to being in the military.

And the office work in this world paid a high amount of salary, not to mention, she was also someone who works closely with Her Majesty, which should make her get paid more if she wanted to work in some merchants firm or Guild

And since those who could do office work was hard to obtain, the excellent one was very precious.

I just thought, isnt it better for you to be hired by those firm in the demon lord capital city. See, there are also many restrictions in the army as well no?

Well, I guess so. Certainly, I think it is better to work in a firm located in the demon capital.

Then why? Is it because of your allegiance to Her Majesty?

Well, that is some part of it.

After saying that words, Sofisan alcohol intake increased.

I thought heavy drinker still have limits, but Sofisan keeps drinking and drinking until finally, she was knocked out cold

Saying shes sleepy, and then slept like a log.

Well, whether youre human or demons, I guess everyone still has to remember

Drink moderately
