Chapter 79 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
“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! Let’s get ready right away! What are the conditions…?”
“Still, he’s going to be our partner, but we can’t treat him disappointingly!! If you’re not rude, can I make a public announcement with the same salary as Seongil-gun!?”
“As much as you like!!!”
Seong-il tried to write a recruitment notice in response to Charlotte’s opinion, but Charlotte vehemently refused, saying that he wanted to write her own.
Remembering the clumsy announcement she had seen during her first interview, Seong-il didn’t want to accept it, but she remembered Charlotte’s attitude of concessions and consideration to herself, so she silently nodded her head and expressed her agreement.
[Detective Moriarty Office Clerk & Maid Recruitment! ]
– Weekly wage: 5 shillings (negotiable) and housing provided
– Qualifications: A person who can work as a maid or office worker at the same time!
* Maid duties: meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, etc.
* Office work: reception of guests, writing of journals, accounting work
– Recruitment number: 1 person
– What I want to say: The topical combination that defeated the phantom thief Yuftesia! Detectives Charlotte Moriarty & Seongil are looking for new colleagues to join them! Whopping! Wyndham’s last chance to work with a famous detective who is active as a “Special advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department”!!
‘It’s still clumsy.’
It was a recruitment announcement that she didn’t like, but seeing her slutty Charlotte, Seong-il couldn’t bear to tackle her.
“How is it!! Seongil-kun? Are you okay?”
“Yes yes!! It’s perfect!! It reminds me of the time I used to go for an interview at a detective office!! I fell in love with such a cool recruitment announcement back then and came to interview with Detective Charlotte!!”
“Yes..?! Heh… Heh heh… Heh heh heh heh… Ohhhhh!!”
Charlotte laughs excitedly, her face heating up at Seongil’s praise.
Seongil left her office laughing with her, desperately managing her expression.
They stop by the print shop that Charlotte uses regularly and print out recruitment notices.
After Charlotte gave five shillings to the head of the printing house and asked him to carefully paste them all over the city when the printing was finished, she returned to her office with the holy day to end the day.
Seong-il, who enters her own room and looks back on her day with a sigh.
“Haa… It’s been a stormy day.”
“What was a stormy day…?”
“Who are you!?”
At the sound of a woman’s voice suddenly bursting out of her own room, her seongil quickly raised her inner skills and took the standard form of her bankruptcy priesthood.
“Oh…? You forgot my voice just because it’s been two days…?”
After shouting that, In-young quietly pops out of the shadows in the corner of the room.
“What…?”
A woman wearing a red base and black leather phantom thief uniform with a cat mask that covers her nose and eyes, and which sticks to her body and reveals her voluptuous figure.
“You forgot my voice in just two days. I’m so sorry… Colleague?”
“What?! Why are you here?”
“Yes..? Why? We decided to share the secret written on the ‘Eye of Delon’ and split the treasure in half, right?
“Ah… I’m sorry! You came in so abruptly that I was taken aback. I didn’t mean it that way.”
“Heh.. That could be true! By the way, it was featured in this newspaper..? It’s called [The Phantom Thief Yuftesia’s rival]!”
Seong-il smiled bitterly at the party’s half-mocking words.
Then he replied with a self-deprecating smile.
“That’s what the media is all about. If it suits their tastes, they either boost someone up or put them down. Well, isn’t that something like that?”
“Hey.. That’s right!!
“By the way, you didn’t mean to come unannounced today and rob the treasure right away? I haven’t prepared anything yet…!”
Euphthesia nodded at the words of such a holy day.
“I know. It’s not rare that I secretly come to you without saying anything and ask you to do it right away~”
“Then…?”
“Let’s tune in. When can we go to the secret room…?”
Seong-il ponders with his chin on his chin at Euphthesia’s words. After thinking about her for a long time, her Sung-il replied to her.
“First of all… I think I need to talk to Charlotte. Now that I’ve been hired as [Special Advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department], I need to hire related talent to work with the Metropolitan Police Department. That’s why I have to go through an interview with Charlotte. “
“Aha…? By the way, [Metropolitan Police Department Special Advisor]? What is that?”
Puzzled by the unique position she had never heard of before, she asked Seong-il.
“Ah… That’s the position the Metropolitan Police Department offered to Charlotte on the grounds that they stopped you in the first place. It seemed likely that they would do something related to you.”
“…? If you block me, it’s because you blocked me. What’s the excuse you made…?”
Euphthesia frowns and asks Seongil a question.
Seeing her like that, Seong-il replied with a bitter smile.
“Literally. That’s just an excuse. It’s a makeshift position created by Police Chief Wyndham to impress Detective Moriarty, who is now resting upstairs.”
“…Yeah? You made it to impress that stupid Detective Moriarty? Why…?”
“…His father is a strong candidate for the next chancellor of the kingdom.”
“Eh?! Could it be… Edwin Moriarty…?!”
Seong-il nods his head in response to Euphthesia’s surprise.
“Oh..? You know?”
“Oh…? Raño!! Instead of Sangvis, he is the symbol of the kingdom’s treasury, and he’s the most powerful person in the kingdom! That person!! It’s strange that he doesn’t know!!”
“Well… I’m from the lower classes who were busy earning a living every day. I didn’t know.”
“…It doesn’t look like a child from a poor family, but that’s what it is. Anyway, my bun detective is a child of a noble family, so the Metropolitan Police Department chief flattered me and offered his position as an excuse for stopping me, right?”
“It’s similar.”
“Aha”
“Anyway… That’s why Sir Edwin Moriarty asked me to find a maid + office assistant + bookkeeper, so I’ll start recruiting tomorrow.”
“Hmm… Three at once…? Satisfying all of them would be difficult unless you’re extremely talented…?”
“Yeah. So, first of all, I offered a place to live in addition to the weekly wage of 5 shillings.
“Oh… The salary level is quite high?”
To her words, Seong-il shrugged her shoulders and replied.
“Hey.. You said it with your own mouth. It’s the child of a powerful person in the kingdom. How can a woman in such a family not have money..?”
“But…”
Then Euphthesia smiled strangely at her and asked her seongil.
“So… You two will continue to work with me in the future..?”
“…Isn’t it?”
“Hmm… Then you’re going to hear a lot of information about me at the Metropolitan Police Department…?”
“Well… I guess.”
“Ohh~”
Euphthesia slumps with a strange smile on her face.
Her holy days made her feel something was wrong, but she desperately suppressed her feelings and asked her.
“By the way, you haven’t forgotten, have you? If I hand over the information about the 『Secret Room』, You’re my girl 4 times a month. Remember?”
“Of course~ If the detective just passes the information on, I’m ready to spend the night with the detective right now..?”
After saying that, Euphthesia lightly kisses Seongil’s neck and gently caresses his alter ego.
Euphthesia rejects him when her holy day cannot stand her temptation and reaches out her hand to hug her and massage her buttocks.
“I can’t~”
“Huh…?”
“You haven’t kept your promise with me yet, detective-nim, have you?”
Saying that, Euphthesia pushed Seongil’s chest with both hands.
After pushing his chest, Euphthesia whispered to Seongil.
“Or… Would you just pass the information on to me today? Then I can sleep with you… Of course, as promised, I’ll collect the goods, divide them in half, and deliver them to you. How is it…?”
In fact, Seong-il knew about the identity of the treasure in 『Secret Room』, So he wasn’t particularly greedy for the treasure, but if he handed over the information too easily, he could be suspicious of Euphthesia, and the jewel of the game and the jewel of the Game Master’s world. I wondered what the difference would be, so I replied with a snort at her.
“Who do you know as Hogu? The information will be made public on the day of departure. As soon as you confirm that the information is true, you must sleep with me.”
“Heh~ Okay~ Let’s do that~”
After saying that, Euphthesia clung to Seong-il again, then she held his cheek and kissed him lightly. After she said goodbye to him, she disappeared like a ghost.
‘Whoa~ I’m a rare lady.’
With that thought in mind, the holy day ended.
“Wow… So many people…!”
As Seong-il said, a huge number of interview candidates flocked to the detective office in one day.
“I see…? The number of people has increased since the assistant detective days…? Why? No way! Because of my reputation…?!”
Charlotte and Seong-il are surprised by the crowd of office assistant and maid candidates, despite the same weekly salary as assistant detectives.
I brought them into the office and started interviewing them one by one.
“Hello..! My name is Eileen and I came for an interview.”
“Hello..!”
“That… Before the interview, I have a question for you.”
“…?”
“Are you really offering a weekly wage and additional housing?
‘Ah… Did people flock to the house?’
Seong-il came to understand why applicants flocked to her question.
Windham City was a mega city with a population of nearly 10 million, and because of that, the population density was high, and housing was always in short supply.
In such a situation, when an announcement was made saying that they would pay twice the salary of ordinary workers and provide additional housing, people flocked to it.
“You shouldn’t tell Charlotte the truth…”
Seong-il did not want to break the illusion of the naive woman who mistakenly thought that her reputation was the reason why her crowds flocked to her. He quietly closed his mouth and conducted the interview with her applicants by asking questions.
“Hmm… Everyone is vague, right?”
“Iknow, right…”
Applicants who are good at housework don’t know how to do office work, and if they are good at office work, they can’t do housework or won’t do it.
“Whew… I should have just picked two!?”
“There’s only one residence that can be offered for that, so there’s going to be a problem.”
“Aha…!!”
“First of all, let’s watch the interview until the end. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to revise the announcement and post it again. What?”
“Okay let’s see!!”
I’ve been interviewing for a while, but I still don’t like the applicants.
So when Seong-il sighed and pondered over the contents of the new announcement. A woman appeared in front of them.
“Huh..?!”
Seong-il is a woman who is beautiful enough to make you sigh without realizing it.
She is wearing a plain white dress, and she is a beautiful lady with her fair skin contrasting with his and her beautiful appearance with fine features and flowing blonde hair.
When her lady, worthy of her alarming expression, entered her interview room, even her fellow woman, her Charlotte, looked at her enchanted for the moment.
“Ah.. How are you?”
Surprised by her beautiful appearance, Seong-il greets her while stuttering.
Seeing such a holy day, the woman smiled and introduced herself, answering her holy day’s greetings.
“Hello! I’m Elysia, who came for an interview. It’s an honor to meet you, great detectives.”
“Ohhh!! You’re a great detective! That’s an over-praise!!”
“You’re welcome! You’re the ones who subdued the phantom thief Euphthesia, no one else? How dare I not tell you that you’re a great detective…?”
“Lol…”
Charlotte laughs bitterly at Elysia’s words as she seems to scratch her own itch.
Ignoring her like that, she started questioning Elysia about her last name.
“Have you… Read all of our announcements?”
“Yes? Of course~”
“Hmm.. We are basically looking for someone who is in charge of office work, but also a maid who can clean our office and provide food for employees. Is that possible…?”
“Hehe.. Even if I’m like this, I’m from Wyndham University’s Department of Business Administration, so I’m familiar with clerical and accounting work, right?”
“Ohh…”
Although he did not know what Wyndham University was, Seong-il exclaimed and nodded as it seemed like a school that looked good just by hearing the name.
They questioned her and her work for a long time.
When Charlotte and Seong-il admired her clear answer for a long time, Elysia smiled and asked them a question in reverse.
“By the way, you two… You seem to have been interviewing all day. Have you eaten…?”
“Yeah?! I haven’t done it separately yet!!”
“Oh my God… How did you do this…?”
Having said that, she quietly took out her sandwich and drink from her basket that had been set down beside her, and handed them to her Charlotte and her Seongil, continuing her words.
“Would you like to try it..? It’s a food I prepared to eat when I’m hungry, but…”
“Ohhh!! Thank you, I’ll eat it!!”
Charlotte and Seong-il begin to eat the food Elysia recommends without hesitation.
“And…!”
And Seong-il admires the taste.
“It’s really good… No, is this a sandwich? What have I been eating all this time…?”
“That’s right!! It even looks like this drink juice, but it’s not overly sweet!! The taste is at a level that even my father, who is picky about his palate, would praise!!”
Elysia waved her hand while smiling at the praises of the two.
“Oh my~ I’m too shy to praise you for something like that.. Huhu..”
However, Charlotte shook her head violently in response to Elysia’s modesty.
“You’re welcome! What a great taste!! Ms. Elysia! I really like Ms. Elysia’s knowledge and cooking skills, so would you like to work with me!! In addition, if you graduated from the prestigious Wyndham University’s Department of Business Administration, It seems like it would be obvious if you don’t even look at the work!!!”
“Of course! As long as you ask for permission…”
“Passed!! Passed!! Hapgyeok!!!!”
