Chapter 10
Sweat had been steadily dripping down Oson’s forehead the entire time—well, of course it had. He’d basically just been caught red-handed.
Oson’s attendance record was a mess, and he’d been involved in no small number of shady dealings, all hidden from upper management.
I gave a subtle shrug and thought to myself,
“Well, Team Leader Oson... You’re definitely getting disciplined, but you should still be thankful to me. You were probably fated to die a pointless death once the war breaks out anyway.”
With that thought, I suddenly felt like I was everyone’s savior.
“I’ve gotta stop this war. That means I need to find the right moments to naturally feed information from the original story to Kiaros.”
My plan to become the Messenger of the Original was still going strong.
While everyone had their heads bowed, I quietly rolled my eyes around and kept my brain working overtime.
“Originally, I was going to act like a clueless little flower-brained newbie when the commendation came—close my eyes, pretend I had no idea, and go thank him...”
But why didn’t the commendation arrive? Why did Kiaros come himself...?
“If the commendation doesn’t come at all, I won’t even have a crappy excuse to go see him...”
While I stewed in anxiety, the rest of the department still had their heads down like condemned prisoners.
