I, the Sacrifice, Somehow Killed the Evil God - CH 90

The only sound in the room was the sound of a pen tracing a piece of paper.

There was an office desk against the window, and a business meeting sofa and table facing each other in front of the chair I was sitting on.

All the furniture looked expensive, and I wondered how much I could buy with just one piece of furniture.

“Cough”

I picked up a new document, read the contents and ran my pen over it again. Similar documents were piled high on both sides of my desk, and a sigh escaped my lips.

I was concentrating on my work for a while, but I couldn’t help but look up.

Diagonally behind me. There was a girl standing by the window.

She was dressed in an elegant dress and was holding a tray in front of her with both hands. In terms of age, she is not so different from Marie. She had a petite body and light pink hair. Her purplish-red eyes are staring at me without saying a word.

The girl’s name was Laura, I believe, and she didn’t seem to have any reaction to me if I was looking at her, whether our eyes met or not.

The person herself told me that she was the secretary that the Irkutu Kingdom had given me to verify the documents this time.

“Yes?”

Laura tilts her head and asks me a question. Usually, I see Marie’s boisterousness, which is… Too much for her at this age. No, of all the people around me, I’m too calm.

“No, it bothers me when people stare at my back.”

“I see. I’m sorry about that.”

Laura then approached me and gathered up the papers she had signed and set them on the desk with a thump.

As she approached, I could smell her perfume. It must be the scent of some kind of flower, but since I’ve never smelled it before, I have no idea. Judging by her appearance, it must be something expensive in the market.

Laura walked away as if she didn’t care about me, carrying her papers.

“Hey, do I have to do all this?“

For the past few days, I’ve been holed up in my office. The Erivan Kingdom has been kind enough to lend me a room, but I’m getting tired of it.

“These documents are a list of things that were given to us by each country as a thank you for defeating the Evil God. Some of them are mansions and expensive magic tools. You need to sign the receipt as soon as possible.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I heard that they are grateful for the Evil God’s defeat, and they have prepared mansions in various countries. In addition, there were many other gifts, such as expensive jewelry, and armor, that I could not use, and I needed to read the instructions on what I received and how to handle them.

She left the room in silence. I let out an involuntary sigh of relief.

I let out a sigh of relief, for I had been working in a heavy atmosphere for the past few days.

Laura doesn’t talk much, even when she’s in the room. When I ask her a question about a document, she explains it to me in a way that i can understand, but when she’s finished, she closes her mouth and returns to her position.

The frozen expression on her face was like that of an elaborate doll, and it was hard to relax when she was staring at me.

Now that the pressure is off, I decide to do a little work while Laura is away.

She’s making arrangements so that I can concentrate on my work. She’s in the office earlier than me in the morning, and she seems to be working quietly while I’m having dinner with Serena and Alicia.

She was definitely an excellent civil servant as she was sent by the Ilkut Kingdom. I need to finish the work as soon as possible and return her to her country.

My concentration gradually increased. I read, signed, and finished clearing out about half of the pile of papers.

“I’m back.”

After a knock on the door, it opened and Laura returned.

“Look, I’ve finished quite a lot.”

I reported the results of my work to Laura. But she gave me a flat voice.

“I see. That’s good to hear.”

“Um…. Laura-san?”

“I told you to call me Laura, didn’t I?”

Sweat trickles down my back. I ask Laura a question as if I’m looking at something I can’t believe.

“Laura, what is this?”

I see a pile of papers piled up high in her arms.

“Extra. Some of them are urgent, so I’ve cancelled our dinner plans for this evening.”

With that, the papers were slammed onto the desk. To such a girl….

“…Seriously?”

I replied, while dropping on the desk.
