Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 218.2

The situation in the office was a real battlefield.

However, my father was indeed very skilled and quick in his work. He immediately handled the matters that could be done by his own authority, but for those that were difficult to determine on the spot, he would quickly instruct someone else to investigate and send the documents to me.

That’s why I got a lot of paperwork.

As I was checking the relevant documents, a seemingly new recruit, who was probably older than me, approached me.

“Viscount Zeavert.”

“Yes?” (Welner)

“Well, I brought the material that the minister had just instructed me to investigate, but I was scolded.”

“What kind of material?” (Welner)

“Here it is.”

“I am not convinced that a busy minister has time to read such a thick book. The more material, did not mean the better. I want you to summarize all relationships on one sheet of parchment paper.” (Welner)

“One sheet?”

He looked surprised, so I showed him the document I was working on.

“You should make a simplified version of the information you found so that your superior can judge the situation just by looking at it. It would also make it easier for your boss to find the points you consider important, as well as answer any doubts your boss might have.” (Welner)

“Yes, sir.”

“As soon as you figure that out, be sure to compile all the information. Then have another person review it just in case to prevent any trouble.”

Yes, currently, the number of books that could be used as reference itself was not that many. However, it still had enough content that if one person had to deal with it, other people’s work would accumulate as well. When I pointed this out, the official said, “I understand,” and returned to his seat with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

(T/N: Said recruit is a noble, not commoner.)

In turn, another person from a different office came up to me. This person also seemed like a new recruit.

“Viscount, I’m sorry.”

“What is it?” (Welner)

“Well, I was confused about something, so I asked my superior for advice, but I was reprimanded by my superior because I was not very specific about what I was trying to ask…”

Ah, that, of course his superiors would be mad.

“What did you ask your superior?” (Welner)

“What did I ask?”

“If you can’t properly convey what you want to ask, then your superior can’t answer your question at all. In other words, you are wasting their time. You need to make sure you have done due diligence before approaching your superior. That’s why I am asking you what you asked.”

“Well, um, I don’t know where to find the materials regarding this part…”

“Oh, it’s about that one. Then….” (Welner)

Even though he’s a bit of a killjoy, I suppose there was a problem with his boss, who only reprimanded him.

“Viscount.”

“What is it this time?” (Welner)

Another person came again.

“Well, a messenger came from the gatekeeper at the main gate, saying that he is the illegitimate wife of Viscount Vesher, but that a woman is making a fuss, claiming that her child has the right to inherit.”

“What?” (Welner)

I guess some people like this were expected to come out of the woodwork. It was a common occurrence among the nobility. I have a feeling that the relatives and blood relatives of the self-proclaimed aristocratic families might be crowding in front of the gates of the royal capital at this very moment.

“Why didn’t you just turn it over to legal affairs?” (Welner)

“I was sent by them to consult you.”

The legal guys have thrown the whole thing at me. One of these days, I was going to double down on them.

“Okay. First, find out where the woman has been living all this time. As well as the places that Viscount Vesher has visited. If the place of residence of that woman is in an area affected by the battle, and it is difficult to find witnesses, we will make a separate investigation.” (Welner)

“Understood.”

I’ve also been assigned the job of clearing away the debris and whatnot, including identifying the refugees, and those who have lost their homes during demon battle. If we do an investigation over there, we would be able to find relevant information and put it on record pretty quickly.

I also had to help many officials approaching me for help now and then. To be fair, I was not even sure why so many people, especially new ones, were approaching for help in the first place.
