After Mr. Yuto confirmed that he really couldn't edit Furina's Story Quest, he gave up struggling.
Although he couldn't intervene in the plot this way to find out what changes would occur in the content.
But from another perspective, the inability to edit his little cake's Story Quest was actually a good thing.
—This meant he would appear with high frequency in this Story Quest.
Because for both the Archon Quest and event quest plot edits, the plots he could edit ultimately led to whether he would appear at that time node.
If he would, then this plot couldn't be edited; you'd have to play it yourself.
If he wouldn't, then you could edit this plot; one edit and not a peep.
It was clear that the current result was the former, which meant he would always be by Furina's side.
Thinking of this, Yuto nodded slightly, then continued his leisurely retired life, drinking black tea and reading the newspaper.
After all, the Jingshui Court staff were very reliable.
...
Just as Yuto had expected, on the first day of work, everyone in Jingshui Court was on edge; no one dared to relax.
After all, this job offered a considerably generous salary compared to ordinary Palais Mermonia employees. Moreover, as it was a Palais Mermonia job, the benefits wouldn't be bad either.
So, no one wanted to lose this hard-won job.
Although for them, this logic was correct, for Yuto, their no-mistake approach was somewhat torturous.
The phrase 'retired life' sounded beautiful, but in reality, it was truly boring.
Especially for someone like Yuto, who had just stepped down from a high-intensity work position, this life was first leisurely, then torturous.
How long could one copy of Steambird Newspaper be read? Even if every word and sentence was read and its underlying meaning analyzed, it would only take one morning.
How long could a pot of black tea be drunk? How could something that could be finished in an hour or two be drunk for an entire day?
When he first started this rather leisurely life, Yuto didn't feel anything, but after the newspaper was read and the black tea was drunk...
He would feel bored to some extent.
Yuto slightly raised his head, looked at the clock on the wall, nodded slightly, and then decisively got up and left the office.
"There's still a quarter of an hour until closing time. If it's according to the usual workload, they should be preparing to pack up and leave by now."
"If not, then they'll need to familiarize themselves with the business more."
Yuto said as he walked out of Palais Mermonia, heading quickly in the direction of Jingshui Court.
To make work more efficient, Yuto had chosen a location for Jingshui Court that was closest to Shadowy Court and the Court of Restoration.
This way, Jingshui Court could handle issues from Shadowy Court as quickly as possible,
and change requests received from the Court of Restoration could be promptly given to Jingshui Court for approval and execution.
Of course, this also protected the safety of Jingshui Court to the greatest extent.
After all, Shadowy Court was right next door. If someone really wanted to cause trouble in Jingshui Court, it would be a true 'light-speed police response'.
...
"...Finally finished the documents. Reading all these things and replies really raises my blood pressure..."
"Here, eye drops. Put some in. At least your eyes won't hurt tonight."
"To say it's not tiring is definitely a lie, but the salary is really high. I roughly calculated that if the workload is like this every day, we'll have at least 500,000 mora a month. If it's a bit busier, it might reach 700,000."
"It's hard to imagine how Mr. Yuto did all this work alone before..."
"It's already very good! When I studied abroad in Sumeru before, I had to be busy from four or five in the morning until midnight, and there was no lunch break. Mr. Yuto even gives us two hours for lunch."
"Uh... Speaking of which, Miss Sasha, has our bi-weekly shift schedule come out yet?"
"Palais Mermonia said they're still scheduling it and told us to wait a few days. It'll definitely be out before this Thursday."
"Then... Miss Sasha, would you mind having dinner together tonight?"
"Ah?"
...
Listening to the somewhat noisy sounds in the Jingshui Court office, Yuto nodded gently, a smile appearing on his face.
"It seems they've started to adapt. I'll observe them more to prevent any unexpected issues..."
As a leader, he never opposed his staff chatting when it was almost time to leave, nor did he oppose their office romances.
Of course, the prerequisite was that all of today's work was completed.
In Yuto's own view, if the staff had completed the tasks given to them that morning before closing time, it meant that the remaining time belonged to them.
If he were to call them to a meeting at that point, occupying their off-duty time, that would be a sign of incompetence in Yuto's eyes.
As for whether there would be small cliques within the department or interpersonal conflicts, Yuto wasn't worried.
The work intensity at Jingshui Court was quite high, and the work content was relatively complex, which meant employees had no time to form small cliques, as it was purely a waste of time and their performance.
And the complexity of the work content also meant that high-intensity communication was required to balance the work of various parts.
This meant that everyone had to communicate with other people, and since it was a large office where everyone saw each other all day, it would be too awkward to argue and engage in interpersonal conflicts.
Thinking of this, Yuto nodded once again, then quietly left Jingshui Court and headed towards the temporary home he shared with Furina.
Since it was their closing time, he, as the leader, should also get off work!
However, before Yuto had even walked a few steps, he once again fell into thought, then turned and walked towards Palais Mermonia.
"I'll take those cakes I made today back... Furina hasn't had sweets in a while."
...
At this moment, Furina didn't know that Yuto had left work early. She was currently preparing for tonight's dinner.
Looking at the simmering poultry and smoked sausage in front of her, a confident smile appeared on Furina's face.
"I'll definitely have all the ingredients ready before Yuto gets back today. Hmm... should I try making a cake myself?"
Furina tilted her head slightly, then shifted her gaze to the almonds and coffee beans she had just bought that morning.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had sweets... I wonder if Yuto has been busy these past few days..."
