Chapter 147
Caffeine is a Worker’s Friend
The people had received me with great passion. And in order to avoid disappointing them, I headed straight to my office so that I could get to work.
I had stayed in Berneze for several weeks. So it was not surprising to me that there was a mountain of work to deal with.
As he was in charge while I was gone, Gottlieb the Dwarf had handled all the ordinary decisions, but he could not do everything. Anything important that he determined that only I could handle, was set aside on my desk.
“…”
It was enough to make me sigh, but I had no choice but to do it.
I couldn’t just return to my room and start snoring, like Saint Jeanne or Toshizou. At all times, I had to be thinking about my people and their lives.
Eve knew me all too well. And so instead of asking if I wanted to rest, she just prepared some coffee for me.
This coffee was a gift from Berneze. It was a drink that involved roasting a bean-like plant and turning it into powder before dissolving them in hot water.
