“Umm… first, let’s sort out these documents.”
“Margrave-sama, where are the urgent approvals and important documents kept?”
“Hahaha… no idea!”
…Yeah. This is hopeless.
We need to sort this out as fast as possible.
“Sue, Casey-san, Telma-san—let’s separate anything that needs immediate approval or priority handling.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll get right on it.”
“Oh, but… the Margrave is trying to sneak out.”
As Telma said, the Margrave was indeed tiptoeing toward the door like a thief, one hand already on the doorknob.
Since we had Emilia-sama’s permission anyway… I guess it was time for him to reflect a little.
I gathered magic in my hand.
BZZZZT—!!
“GYAAAH!”
I increased the output of the lightning slightly and struck the Margrave again.
“GYAAAH!”
Then Sue—who now looked just a little angry—grabbed the Margrave by the legs and dragged him back to his seat while he was still smoking faintly.
Squeak… squeak…
Next, she used restraint magic to bind him firmly to the chair.
Of course, she left his arms free so he could still work.
After that, she cast a recovery spell on him.
“Hah—! W-where am I…? W-wait, I’m tied to a chair!”
“Margrave-sama, let’s work through these documents together. If you get tired, I’ll cast a full-powered recovery spell on you.”
Yeah, Sue was definitely mad too.
She was smiling sweetly, but there was a vein visibly twitching on her forehead. And with the Margrave securely fixed to the chair, there was no escaping now.
Bang.
“First, please sign these documents.”
“These are urgent ones that need to be processed in the near future.”
Next, Casey-san and Telma-san—both smiling brightly—slammed a neatly sorted stack of documents down onto the desk. It was the kind of smile that didn’t reach their eyes.
Yeah… they were definitely angry too.
“B-but I still have field duties out—”
“Young master, please give it up. For the next several days, your duties will be handled by the madam.”
“What did you say?!”
Even the Margrave’s last hope was effortlessly crushed by the butler who’s still smiling politely as ever.
With his shoulders slumping, the Margrave finally gave in and began working—albeit reluctantly.
“Now then, everyone else will also be quite busy today. After all, these documents were originally properly sorted by processing date, well… before the young master completely scrambled them.”
“““Yes, sir!”””
The butler called out to the other attendants in the office.
Wait—so they had been properly organized, and he was the one who messed them all up?
Hearing that, Sue and the others began radiating visible waves of anger.
But the Margrave, desperately signing papers one after another, never noticed at all.
