23 twenty three. Also failed.txt




Another failure!

 At a certain place, a senior member of the organization shouts at him.
 His secretary, a woman, was forced to respond.

We lost two of them, but they are both expendable. We have lost two of them, but they are both expendable.

I know that!

 The executive shouted at his secretary.

'The problem is that they failed in quick succession! Why does it fail?

It's easy. You're messing with the Empire.

 The secretary woman thought, but she didn't say it out loud.
 If you say such a thing to the current executive, there is a high risk that you won't be able to go beyond a beating.
 She doesn't have the loyalty to admonish the executive to the point of risking her life.

(Silly man. Why can't we just deal with the Empire after we've crushed the other countries and have plenty of strength over here?)

 The secretary sighed secretly.
 As far as she could tell, her boss's officers were impossibly stupid.
 Although the empire was said to be the strongest in terms of strength, there was no hindrance in their planning to put it on the back burner.
 And yet, their bosses had messed with them and lost a dark summoning technique user and a collective transfer magic user.
 Although the two of them weren't high in ability, summoning and collective transfer magic users were rather rare in the organization.
 They were loaned to us by the senior leadership under the guise of "surveying the Empire's strength and, at the drop of a hat, cutting back on it," but the person who loaned them to us probably never dreamed that we would lose either of them.

(Of course, they will be held accountable, and that's to be expected: ...... I hope I'm not blamed too.

 Unfortunately, a mere executive or secretary, there are plenty of alternatives.
 The secretary was beginning to calmly calculate that she was the only one who could be saved.

(Call me crazy, even so. The gargoyle herd was directed at the Imperial City, so it's still understandable. But I can't believe no damage was done in the rest of the area either. (It's as if they're reading our hands all over the place?

 She is the type of person who calculates, and she thinks that the other person is calculating as much as she is.
 That's why she had a habit of reading a little too much into it.
 She thinks of herself as a sharp person, but in fact she is not. 
 The organization had hoped that if they worked together, they would make a rather well-balanced duo, but the executives tended to be in a hurry to get out of control, and the secretary didn't really stop them.
