Chapter 78 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
Sir Edwin Moriarty was very moved.
When his daughter, the only daughter who rots his heart with his usual eccentricities, was praised so highly, unlike his usual iron-blooded minister, his heart melted gently.
‘They say there are no parents who win over their children…’
For some reason, he felt as if he had come to the scene of a sale magic, but Seong-il passed the situation and thought that good was good.
‘Well… Originally, it’s true that Charlotte will become a special advisor after the [Phantom Thief’s Letter] Event.’
‘The problem is, I don’t think this kind of event didn’t exist in the original story…? Surely… The story isn’t twisted? I played it while paying close attention to the original as much as possible… Ah… No way…’
Of course, he touched Yuna a little (?) In the middle, and he touched Yuptesia a little (?), But he only slightly (?) Interpreted the situation in his favor and turned the situation around, unlike the previous games, ‘at least Wouldn’t it be all right since I only intervened?’ Seongil to masturbate.
‘And… The heroines are so beautiful, how can they not touch them? If you’re going to come into a game and just play the story and leave those beauties behind, then you should just die. Not a eunuch…’
Seong-il brainwashed himself like that and quietly listened to the party’s conversation. Charlotte asked him.
“Sungil-kun! What do you think, Seongil-kun, as a member of the Moriarty Detective Office, about the job offer of ‘Special Advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department’?”
“Of course I agree! It’s an opportunity to make a contribution to the country as a citizen while achieving one’s dream. If such a glorious opportunity has come, shouldn’t we seize it?!”
“Ohhhhh!
“Thank you!! Excellent detective!!”
The commissioner looks at Charlotte and Seong-il with pleasure. Looking at the scene, the commissioner asked the two of them.
“Do you have any questions related to special advisors?”
“Yes? Eh…”
Charlotte is worried as she rolls her eyes with a foolish expression. Her name was quietly whispered in her ear.
“May I ask a question?”
Charlotte looks as if she has seen a savior at the whisper of the Holy Day.
She tapped Seongil on the back and answered the commissioner.
“Oh! My partner, Seongil-goon, wants to ask a question instead of me. Can I ask a question?!”
“Of course! Detective!”
Commissioner Felton looked at Seong-il with a benevolent smile after answering that.
“Come on, ask me a question!”
“Ah.. Then, without rudeness, just a few things…”
Seong-il, who answered like that, followed her words.
“By any chance, if we take over as special advisors, will we go to the Metropolitan Police Department…? And what exactly will we be doing?”
“Ah! That’s a good question! To be precise, you don’t have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. The agency intends to establish a hotline between Inspector Lestras and the Charlotte Detective Office, which you know well! In the form of sending a contact and sending a request.
I think the task I want to entrust is intensively commissioned for cases that are usually difficult to solve with public power. Like phantom thief tracking…”
“Aha!! I see. I understand! And this is a sensitive question…”
“…?”
The commissioner puts a puzzled expression on Seongil’s words.
Seeing his expression like that, Seong-il continued talking with an awkward expression.
“Detective Charlotte, you are originally from a noble family, so please don’t make disrespectful remarks, so I’ll ask you instead… By any chance.
“Aha!!”
Commissioner Felton nodded at Sungil’s words.
He answered Seong-il as if it were natural.
“Certainly! It’s hard for a noble Moriarty detective to come up with such a dirty business, so you’re right! We’re thinking about fifty shillings a month at the Police Department level!”
“Oh!?”
At the words of the commissioner, exclamations of exclamation came out of Seongil and Charlotte’s mouths at the same time.
The two looked at each other unconsciously and smiled awkwardly.
‘If it was the original story, she was ignorant Charlotte, and she barely got 20 shillings..? Still, she calls me front instead of treasurer more than twice.. Is that okay?’
Seong-il thinks he did a good job answering.
Looking at the two of them, the commissioner asked a question.
“How about it…? Will it be all right…?”
“Of course it’s good!! It’s an opportunity to love patriotism (?), But there’s no reason for me to refuse it!!”
“Ohh!! As expected, Detective Charlotte! Thank you! Thank you!”
Commissioner Felton now gets up from her seat and bows her 90 degrees to Charlotte. And Sir Edwin Moriarty looking at it with satisfaction.
‘Wow… If you got married early, you’d bow down like that to a girl who would be like your granddaughter. Even if you don’t see how he got promoted, it’s obvious…’
Feeling bitter at the sight of such a commissioner, Seongil sighed inwardly when Sir Edwin spoke to him.
“Charlotte! That’s great!!”
“Thank you! Father!”
The meal ended in such a friendly atmosphere, and around the time the party drank sweet cakes and tea for dessert, Commissioner Felton stood up and said,
“Oh no! Edwin Treasury Secretary! I have a security audit this afternoon, so I guess I’ll have to get up and see it!”
“Ah! Is that so? Then you should go quickly! You’ve worked hard!”
“No! I’m very satisfied to come to such an honored place, eat a delicious meal, and get great talent.”
“Haha..!”
Sir Edwin Moriarty smiles at Commissioner Felton’s pleasant flattery.
Seeing his face like that, Commissioner Felton smiled servilely and asked a question.
“Ah! By the way… I’m asking this personally… How is our Wyndham Metropolitan Police Department’s supplementary budget request going?”
“Ah! You mean that? Well, each Treasury department expressed their disapproval, but don’t worry. It’s nothing else, it’s a request from the Metropolitan Police Department, which keeps the city of Wyndham safe! How can I refuse to do so! Let’s take care of it well.”
“Thank you thank you!!”
‘Fuck, this was the purpose…?’
Commissioner Lucius Felton, who succeeded in securing supplementary budgets for the agency he led, and in line with the next prime minister. He got up from his seat, all white, and bowed to Edwin for a long time before leaving.
As he left, Sir Edwin spoke to Charlotte.
“Congratulations Charlotte. You too have become a decent detective now, right?”
“Hohohoho! It’s not enough, but that’s it! I’ll work hard and make a name for myself more! Father!!”
“Yeah.. That’s how it should be. By the way, if you work as a special advisor in the future, you’ll have to keep the office open all the time to receive calls. How did you plan to solve that part?”
“Eh…?”
Charlotte, with a look on her face, as if she hadn’t thought of it at all.
Seeing her face like that, Sir Edwin sighed slightly before continuing with her smile.
“Yonsuk-ah. No matter how good a detective you are, isn’t it dangerous for you to go to the scene of an incident alone? For that reason, you should always have Sungil-gun follow you as your escort and attendant…
If I take on even one case unrelated to the Metropolitan Police Department’s special advisor, the office will always be empty. In that case, you may miss the telegram from the Metropolitan Police Department, so you should be prepared for that.”
“Aha.. Is that so..?”
“Why don’t you hire a clerk at this point? The three-story building is yours anyway. Wouldn’t it be nice to hire a clerk and a maid to help you? The second floor has three rooms, including a storage room, so lodging can be provided. , The merits are high for maids, so I think there are many good applicants…”
“Uh… That’s true, but…”
“…?”
Sir Edwin put on a puzzled expression at Charlotte’s blurring of her horse’s tail.
Looking at him like that, Charlotte made a slightly cute expression and confessed to her father in her charming voice.
“That… I’ve spent almost all of the business money you gave me at the beginning… I don’t have enough money to hire additional people…”
Charlotte looks up at her father with strange eyes, her words muffled.
Seeing her like that, Edwin looked at her Charlotte with a wry smile.
And Sir Edwin sighed and opened her mouth to Charlotte.
“Originally, I had no intention of giving additional funds even if a knife came in my throat… But this time you not only made a big contribution, but also got an honorable job, so I have no choice but to give you a reward.”
With that said, Sir Edwin quietly opened the briefcase he had been carrying with her and handed her one of her boxes inside.
“Take it. Half is my money and half is a reward from the Duke of Aback.”
“Yes…!?”
“I wanted to give you a reward for your achievements in the Duke of Aback, but you felt ashamed to ‘gift’ something to you, who is not a commoner or a low-ranking noble, but a descendant of the Moriarty family with a long history in the kingdom. .
Because of this, Duke Aback personally came to me yesterday and gave me the reward money to pass on to you. So let’s get that extra money and put it to work.”
“Father!!!”
Charlotte jumps into her father’s arms, overjoyed by her unexpected windfall.
“Heh heh… He’s really…”
Sir Edwin expressed disapproval of his grown-up daughter’s aegyo, but unlike his words, his expression was full of smiles as if he didn’t hate it.
‘Hmm.. Do you want to raise my salary too..?’
Seong-il has pleasant thoughts about Sir Edwin’s reward.
The three had a pleasant conversation for a long time. They ate dessert and chatted, then parted ways and went back to the detective office.
“Sungil-gun! Seongil-gun!”
“Yes! Miss Charlotte!!”
“A while ago, my father gave me a lot of money.
‘So what?’
“What do you think about hiring maids and office workers as your father said?”
“Oh!! I think that’s a great idea!!”
“Right, right?”
However, after spitting out the words like that, it’s a hot day.
‘For a moment…?! Isn’t this something that isn’t in the original?’
Seong-il’s spine starts to feel chilly when he thinks of games that were ruined due to twisted stories.
Charlotte, who didn’t know his heart, continued her words.
“In that sense, is there a type of talent Seongil-gun wants?”
“…Eh? Me?”
“Yes yes! We are partners! FYI! Will you raise Seongil’s salary again as it was originally announced?”
“Hey?!”
“What are you surprised about! It’s not once or twice that I’ve admired Seongil-gun’s flashing wit! If you’re a talent like Sungil-gun, of course you should take care of that much! Ohohohohoho!!”
“Thank you thank you!!”
Seong-il was truly moved by Charlotte’s actions.
Looking at him like that, Charlotte answered her words.
“Anyway..! What kind of talent do you want?”
“Hmm…”
Seong-il started to worry about Charlotte’s sudden words.
After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and began to answer.
“First of all, I would like it to be a woman because I want to be good at cooking and cleaning. Due to the nature of the patriarchal city of Windham, men are likely to be less capable, so men are excluded.
If a competent maid is hired and frees us from the worries of cleaning and eating, it will greatly help us focus on outside tasks. And again…”
“Also…?”
“When the Metropolitan Police Department contacts you, you have to organize the situation or documents, so it would be good to have a certain level of clerical skills… Especially!! It would be better if you could do accounting work even at the basic level, right? Crucially…”
“Huh…! Crucially…?”
“You must be beautiful.”
“Suddenly…?”
“Lol…”
“Ohohohohoho Seongil-gun, was that your taste?”
Seong-Il is taken aback by Charlotte’s unexpected taste.
Seeing Seong-il embarrassed like that, Charlotte made fun of him.
“There is nothing to be ashamed of! Maid uniforms (?) Are quite common even among nobles.
“Ah… That’s not necessarily the reason…”
“…?”
“Except for maid chores, the main tasks of the detective office are secretary and customer service. This is actually what came out of statistics!!”
“Ohh!!! Statistics!!! Ohhh!!!
Charlotte said she didn’t know what statistics was, but she cheered because she looked great, and she agreed with him.
“Then you agree with the selection of maids and office workers?”
“Sure!! A good office assistant will give our office wings!”
“I see!!! Then let’s go make a recruitment announcement right away!!”
“Yes! Miss Charlotte! I’ll prepare it right away!!”
