Chapter 1045 – #249_Overwork
#1039
One.
Somehow there is a twisted feeling, but the purpose was achieved.
It was because he successfully carried out his romantic (?) First experience with Diana.
‘I want to go home soon.’
‘Hey! Diana! Shi, Mr. Siwoo! Thank you!’
The next morning, Diana, transformed into a ripe persimmon, grabbed her mother by the collar and ran away.
It’s the same thing that I couldn’t fully focus on rest even when I was staying at the villa.
It was because she barely had time to play with Diana, whether it was giving lectures for the pilot semester, preparing lectures, or attending various conferences.
However, after returning, it was a full-fledged work trip.
“Thank you for sharing your kind words.”
“What? I am.”
“Then take a look.”
Seeing off the newly partnered witch, Siwoo sat down at the table in the office again.
Since dawn, the heat in his head has not gone away.
“Oh, I will die.”
After discovering the identity of the apprentice witch who imitated Count Cagliostro, and signing an amicable pact with the Emerald Tablet.
Siwoo was vividly feeling how stiff his castle had been under the pressure.
After transferring 20% of the voting rights to reasonable support, it was literally a breeze.
The growth of the Hesed Magic Society was literally a tailwind.
Every day, several people are contacted by the small society.
Meal appointments were made with prominent witches in each field, and the number of people joining the pilot semester in the middle of the semester doubled.
That means that the amount of work Siwoo has to deal with is also increasing exponentially.
The paper knife I received as a gift at the beginning of the conference has long since become dull, and it is not long before I last slept.
I thought Gehenna’s unique culture of sending perfume smeared on stationery was very noble, but every time a bunch of letters on the table gave off all sorts of scents, I desperately wanted to write at the end of my reply, “Please don’t put perfume on the stationery.”
What can I do though?
It is the path Siu chose to protect the lovers who give undeserved love.
“Good morning! Ugh! Please open the door.”
Sharon, who plays the role of secretary, waddled in with a mountain of paperwork.
“What else is that?”
“Oh, this? The witches of the newly established alchemy school organized the class materials. Ugh, I guess I’ll be busy organizing class materials again for a while.”
Again, the basic undergraduate course that Siwoo lectures is a course to prepare for the intermediate course later.
As the number of faculties increased, a large amount of data had to be organized and reinterpreted to be standardized.
Although the other deans were there to help…
Since everyone has to prepare for my lecture, it can be said that most of it is only up to Siwoo.
But I can’t be alone making a sound of sinking.
As usual, start the day with a light morning concoction.
“Secretary Sharon.”
“Yes, Chairman. I will report today’s schedule.”
“Okay, try it.”
Miss Sharon, the super-intelligent secret assistant, reports her schedule while pretending to put on her glasses.
“Today at 8:00, a greeting from the castle side and a breakfast table are scheduled.
From 9:00 to 13:00, demonstration semester class as usual. From 13:00, a dinner with the council for holding the seminar is scheduled.
From 15:00 Inspection and inspection of production facilities in the forget-me-not garden.
At 17:00, tea time with Sulepoli Ishtar, president of the May Tea Party.
At 19:00, there will be dinner with Mercedes Aisha, president of the Shreliohm Society, and there will probably be discussions about a direct supply contract with the Trie Atelier.
From 22 o’clock, the general meeting of the society. From 0 o’clock, a pretty secretary and a hearty bed are waiting for you! Wow busy busy!”
Sharon, who inserted her prank at the end, let out an exaggerated gasp as if she was out of breath.
It’s true that it’s actually a breathless daily life.
Even if it’s tea time or dinner, she has to fight a fierce battle of nerves while talking about work.
Moreover, even after that schedule is over, Siwoo has to sit in front of her desk without sleeping until the next day for personal research.
Here, the biggest difference between a paid employee and a startup CEO was felt.
Since this is my job, I can’t take my work out of my hands even after work is over.
Should I think about whether I can go in a better direction?
“Since we are gradually signing partnerships with other small academic societies, it seems that the societies that have been involved in the past are becoming impatient. I’m afraid that the conditions I set at the beginning will change. Are you going to change?”
The Forget-me-not Garden, Tea Party in May, and the Shreliom Small Society were all small societies that held hands when the Castle’s checks were effective.
It was only then that the Chesed Society was in a desperate position, so they offered some good gifts, but the situation changed and they were worried that they would not wipe their mouths.
In fact, the existing contract could have been changed in favor if the Chesed Society skillfully interpreted the details of the existing agreement and wrapped it up with noble rhetoric.
Rather than suffering from Castle’s restraint, the reverse of the ape occurred at the point of obtaining cooperation.
“Don’t change. Credit is more important.”
“As expected, Siwoo.”
That is the mindset of a merchant who sees only a penny that has fallen under his feet.
It seemed more important to build up an image that ‘the Hesed Society gives back as much as it invests’ rather than spending money right away.
I had learned from my two mothers-in-law that popularity and trust are irreplaceable goods in Gehenna.
This is why the environment in which people learn is important.
“Then, we need to start preparing to eat.”
“Yep.”
Saying that, I turned around, but my legs were wobbly.
It’s not just the legs that stumble.
Suddenly, with extreme dizziness, a sense of heat rushed to the back of her eyelids, and Sharon, who opened her eyes in surprise, tilted her head at the same time.
“… Siwoo… !”
Sharon’s voice sounded like it could be heard in the water, and her consciousness drifted away like an old cathode ray tube TV turned off.
2.
“The examination is over… Wow!”
As soon as Yebin finished examining her and left her room, Sharon grabbed onto the hem of Yebin’s skirt and clung to her.
As soon as he saw Siwoo collapse, he went into a panic and went to see Yebin, the bravest doctor in Gehenna.
“Ahhh, sir, please save our Siwoo. If Siu dies, I die too. Aaaaang!”
Sharon, who was covered in tears and runny nose when she first met Yebin, had her eyes doubled as they waited for the doctor outside.
Siwoo, who has been involved in all sorts of incidents.
Since he suddenly collapsed, he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.
Could there have been a change in the ‘black knight’ or ‘deep consciousness’ that was said to be inside him?
Could it be that one of the prophecies Siu received from the prophecy agency the other day came true?
Could it be that the belated aftereffects of injuries from countless battles were manifested?
Whatever it was, Sharon cried and cried to the point where she couldn’t contain her body and she was almost halfway crawling on her floor.
“Wake up, Evergreen! Kid really…”
“Siwoo, heeuk, what will happen to our Siwoo? Teacher…”
“It’s overwork. Simple overwork!”
Ye-bin, who had barely removed Sharon from her skirt as her skirt was about to come off, responded by holding her hand.
“There is no need for any prescription, and it will be better if you take a rest for a day or two.”
“Really? Woo-wook, is that really all there is?”
Afterwards, Sharon manages to calm her down, but she still has her doubts.
“Your spiritual body is overworked… Can such a thing happen?”
A witch’s spirit body is an ideal body.
Although it has blood and flesh, it does not need sleep, excretion, food or drink, and it is free from various diseases as well as aging.
In addition, her appearance and body shape were corrected as if she had undergone a metamorphosis, so it can be seen as a higher level version of the ultimate immortality that Emperor Shi Huang was looking for.
So, for Sharon, she hardly slept for 10 years, and wasn’t she able to combine hunting homunculus and part-time job at a convenience store flyer?
“Sure. Spiritual bodies are strongly influenced by mental states. But I don’t think it’s just a matter of work stress.”
“That, then?”
Yebin rustled and took out her chart.
It was a chart paper in which the accumulated injuries were inferred from the scars and places where the spiritual body was out of tune.
“In the meantime, I have been fighting too much without having time to properly relieve my mental fatigue. Because of the mental overwork, her body declared surrender first.”
Ye-bin said she had never diagnosed his body before, even the last time she did it.
Even judging from the last diagnosis, his body was covered with another scar.
It means that in the past year, she has been fighting for her life four or five times.
When Yebin was an apprentice witch, she traveled around the world with civil wars, wars, and terrorism following her teacher.
In it, she has treated many soldiers who participated in the war.
I have seen many soldiers with strong bodies commit suicide after suffering from CSR such as cell shock and PTSD.
Someone loses all vitality in just one battle and lives like a doll whose inside is empty.
As such, in movies and games, battles at the risk of one’s life are portrayed somewhat lightly, but the mental power consumed by life and death is not simply a part that can be cited as physical health or health theory.
If an ordinary person had fought several death-defying battles over the years, even the most mentally strong person would have had their nerves turned into a worn-out rubber band.
I pressed it hard and overdid it, so I have no choice but to get sick.
“But will it get better if I take two days off?”
“Well, my opinion as a doctor is that it would be nice to take a break from work for three months, but… That can’t be right? I think I’ll have to watch it first, so I’ll come back tomorrow.”
“Thank you… Please take this before that.”
Sharon gave a precious jewel to Ye-bin, who was extremely reluctant to her.
Knowing that her guardian wanted to give something to the doctor, Ye-bin reluctantly accepted, and Sharon, who was left alone, idly put her hand on Siu’s forehead in Paris.
“I am stupid.”
Sometimes there are parts that you can’t see properly because they are so close.
To Sharon, Siwoo was a better person than anyone else.
I was proud that Siwoo was my lover, and I was so happy to see him go on a winning streak.
I was busy trying to stand side by side by his side, helping him both physically and mentally.
During such a period of time, I had subconsciously thought of him as an ‘unordinary great person’.
As a superman who moves forward with a straight back, no matter what adversity and hardships there may be.
But why couldn’t I remember?
After getting his hands on the lock and almost losing Duke Elroa, he worked tirelessly in various ways without a day off.
Sharon also worked hard to help, but I didn’t imagine that he was overdoing it.
He didn’t show off in the slightest, and Sharon was also busy sharing the rush of work.
However, looking at the result, it was only optimism that Siwoo would be okay.
He was just bluffing as much as he could and reassuring those around him.
“You are stupid too.”
The weeping Sharon’s fingertips poked Siwoo’s cheek, who was soundly asleep.
