Election (2)
"No, from now on, let's work together."
"... I don't understand what you're saying, but let me first explain why I came here."
Her expression and posture shifted as if she had prepared something, growing serious.
"I am a civil servant and a diplomat, holding a position to serve the country and its people."
"I approach this work with pride and a sense of responsibility, and I have no intention of doing anything else."
"So, I hope you won't contact me with such personal requests like today in the future."
"I won't ignore these contacts from now on and won't come."
"Then, have a good evening. I'll be going."
"Yeah."
She came surprisingly obediently.
"Goodbye."
Hmm... right.
Ever since childhood, I had a dream of becoming a diplomat,
studied hard to pass the national civil service exam,
and somehow became one.
Suddenly, the male subordinate I was assigned to contacts me frequently for his personal errands and tells me to come.
If I have to go, it would just make me angry.
"No way. You'll be working with me."
But I don't know about that kind of thing.
I need to scout her.
"Don't say nonsense. I am a civil servant. I am not your personal secretary. If you need someone to handle your personal matters, post a formal job opening and hire someone. Even if you set any conditions, I have no intention of switching."
"Alright."
Why is power so good?
"I made it believable. I'll ask my superior later about what happened."
"Huh?"
"From tomorrow, report to work here."
"Eh?"
"Salary and other conditions won't change, so I know in advance."
Later, if she asks for more money or more vacation, it'll be troublesome.
"Then, go. Take care~."
I've said everything I needed to, so I should get up.
There'll be one more person coming later.
I need to rest a little.
I'm exhausted to death.
"What's going on?!"
Now it's starting to make sense?
"Why? Want a glass of wine?"
"Please explain it properly!"
Ah.
Our diplomat is angry.
Then I should explain.
I sat up and asked my phone to bring some wine.
"What's so curious about? Nuna?"
"Everything! Don't miss any! From beginning to end!"
"It'll be really long, okay?"
"Enough, just tell me quickly."
"No... there's this. The day we drank together? At that time, I contacted my superior, Team Leader Shin Nayoung. She introduced herself as a really kind person?"
I didn't expect her superior to be such a stiff woman.
Whoa, it worked out too well.
"After learning that, I gradually contacted her, and when I said I wanted to be assigned to a diplomat like before, she immediately assigned me to me?"
"......"
"So, Nuna is now working as my assigned diplomat as before."
"......"
"It's a normal personnel transfer, and in a way, it's a promotion, according to Team Leader."
"......"
Lee Ayoung, with a dazed expression behind me, the door opens and someone enters.
"Oh, you're here? Leave the wine to Nuna."
Since I got promoted, I should drink to celebrate.
Drink.
I'll buy it.
"You weren't supposed to drink it? I thought you were drinking it to relieve stress from election activities, and I got permission from the medical staff to bring it."
She even thought of this part.
Cute.
"Eh? No, no. I wasn't planning to drink it. Alcohol is something to be careful with. Thanks for bringing it. Hanna."
"Since this is how it turned out, please take care of me from now on. Nuna."
"What are you doing? Nuna. Since it's a celebration drink, drink it quickly."
"What nonsense! This is!"
What nonsense, it's about working with me from now on.
How many things do I have to do?
Where's the civil servant supposed to serve the people going to play?
After calming down the noisy Lee Ayoung, I told her to feed Hanna dinner and send her back.
The next guest I can welcome immediately, I brought the leftover sandwich from the guest room.
Tasty as always.
Want to get some more juice?
Number 1 fish failed.
Number 2 fish should be caught...
What to lure.
But if he's the kind of guy who does youth politics, there must be some obsession with power.
Why was he quiet until now?
Strange guy.
Ding.
Here.
"Oh, come. Welcome. Don't stand, come in."
I opened the door and saw a man with an awkward smile.
Looking at his face, it was someone I had seen a few times when I lived in the male family department dormitory.
This is Choi Jiwon.
"Oh... hello."
After a casual greeting, I took Jiwon to the guest room.
"This is... I didn't come because I was bored. Here, take it."
He put the shopping bag he was holding in his right hand on the table and pushed it towards me.
"A gift."
In this world, what gift is there to give-
Oh...
This guy's a bit crazy too?
"Hey. Where did you get this?"
"Get it... I just had it originally."
Some crazy Korean guy has a gun originally.
"A Desert Eagle?"
"Eh... self-defense, self-defense. It's just a collection I was gathering for self-defense. You don't have any?"
Wow, he's lively.
This isn't a gun to catch elephants?
Is this self-defense?
Do you think we're in America?
"Oh... I don't have any? I should have prepared too?"
"Of course. You have to prepare. Knowing what might happen. Who knew war would break out and the male extinction virus would kill all the men? Everyone should prepare in advance."
That's true.
But this is a bit...
"Actually, during the time when war broke out and men were dying in chaos, there were some black market items floating around. Now, the military is starting to collect them all again under new regulations... but it's still possible to get them."
This guy... I kind of like him?
"Then, I should make the other male kids get one too."
Legally.
Minsuk can learn separately.
"Good thing learned. Jiwon-ah."
"What... We live by helping each other as men. So why did you call me?"
Personality matches mine...
This guy...
Even better.
Okay, passed.
"It's not that. I somehow ended up representing the male kids in activities?"
"Right?"
"But in these things, balance is important, right?"
Balance is important.
"In the worst case, if some crazy guys try to do something to our Korean men, and one of them takes my head and kidnaps everyone, the men won't agree on opinions and nothing will be done, and we'll all get caught."
"Hmm... so?"
"To compensate for this, while looking for someone to be the center for the male kids besides me, I'm looking for someone among our men who will run for congress and enter the domestic political world?"
Looking for someone to roll in politics instead of me.
"But.... you said you were active as a youth politician."
But you're the number 2 fish, so you're throwing the bait now.
"There is a suitable person here. How does it seem like your interest is piqued?"
Ask.
After listening to all my words, the guy who was awkwardly smiling in front of the door until just now
shows a creepy smile that is unbelievable.
"I'm fine with it. If you give me this title, but it might be troublesome."
This guy's sharp on the uptake...
"What exactly do I have to do?"
He's smart.
"I have some thoughts too, and seeing the gun you brought, it adds one more?"
"Really?"
"Yeah. Anyway, what I have to do... isn't simple. In principle, in the domestic political world, like me, representing the interests of men. Specifically, legalizing gun ownership for the protection of men's rights, like the guns you have, and various other things. And you must be having a hard time too?"
This is real bait...
"What?"
"Duty sex 5 times."
"......"
"Although the male kids aren't saying it, they're all dying inside?"
They say it can be 10 times a day, but if that happens, are they human?
Monkey kids.
When they say it's good, they forget everything, and most kids are probably sulking right now.
"Want me to tell you something good?"
"What?"
"I attended election activities today."
"Yeah."
"I have exemption from duty sex today."
"What?"
"I don't have to do it today. Today, just rest~."
So, tonight, I'll sleep well with Hanna.
"Crazy."
"Of course, it's temporary. Hey, you can eat this too."
"And if you enter politics and claim 'Men's health is a concern. 5 times is too much. Let's do 4 times.' and it passes, you'll be a hero to the men."
I should clap for this too.
And that's how I'll make it.
It's too hard.
"Will this fail? You know that too. I'm dealing with the acting president."
"You'll give it to me by nibbling it nicely from behind?"
"You just help me while protecting my role in emergencies, protecting men's voices in the domestic world, and that's it."
Ask.
Number 2 fish.
"How about it? Will you do it?"
"This guy... as expected, he speaks well."
It's praise for the fish, but it doesn't sound good.
"Hey, but when I hear what you're saying, I think there's a big problem."
Huh?
"What?"
"When I hear what you're saying, it seems I have to join the ruling party to enter politics... probably won't work?"
"Why?"
This guy?
Did he get expelled?
Yeah, he wouldn't have been silent without reason.
"I'm saying, I did youth politician activities in the current opposition. Will the opposition accept my resignation? Probably not?"
Ah... then I'm completely out...
