For Rin, this new job was uncomfortable for her at first, mostly because of her fears, but with the passing of the days, these fears gradually disappeared.

And this is more than all because little by little she got to know the person who was her manager.

Who in general was a very peaceful and cheerful person, unless they got ill with him.

But this was very difficult to happen since no one wanted to offend her on purpose due to her power and status.

Which suited Rin very well since she didn't have to deal with an unpleasant boss but on the contrary, which made her job a lot easier.

Work of which, strangely, it was even easier than when she attended to all the management since she now only had to attend to a single person.

But within this facility lies greater responsibility, since she now represents directly the manager, and her mistakes could now affect not only the face of her boss or the entire department but her own life.

For this reason and, for this reason alone, Rin never stopped working hard or making excuses for hurting her, resulting in her healthy tenure in the position.

A stay, which led him to meet some important individuals, such as a certain old man who was the doctor of the internal palace, who was received by the manager and guided to his private room, where they would be talking with Rin present attending them.

"And then, when I saw that brat extending his hands, to that vial of poison, I couldn't help but scold him terribly as well as give him a beating, so that he doesn't touch things carelessly and without permission."

"Oh old friend, poor boy, you are cruel."

"Cruel? Me? And what about you, who expelled his own grandson from his family."

"Jum, right, but I don't regret it, my grandson is useless who only thinks about playing."

"Like you?."

"Yes ... but worse, at least I do work and study, not like that useless one."

"Hehe, now I'm the one who says, poor boy, by the way, something that I've been wondering since I arrived, who is that beast that has been here since I arrived," said the old man referring to Rin who was watching them calmly and politely from a corner, awaiting orders.

"Oh she, she's my assistant, I ran into her by chance and took her for myself."

"Well, I think it's beastly, you were always something weird, but assistant, you?"

"What can I tell you, one day I had to get over it, besides she hasn't let me down."

"Well, it took you, it was 40 years since that time if I'm not wrong."

"Don't mock, retired medic."

"Look who says it, a retired minister."

"Hahahaha" they both finished laughing, and then continue talking for a while before the doctor left for work.

Yes, he was the royal physician of the inner palace, and like him, she was meeting other managers, and even got to meet again with the manager Yon, who was surprised to see her in that position.

And adding another reunion, on a day at the end of autumn, the doctor of the inner palace had come again to meet with the manager Sou, but this time, both of them prepared to play a board game.

"Damn, old Sou, I almost beat you."

"What can I tell you, this time I was better than you."

"But you're very bad at gambling, you hardly ever win."

"Of course not, I always win, even when I lose."

"Yes of course, and speaking of bets, how about we make one."

"Oh, I hear you, you know, I still remember when you made me clean the bathrooms."

"It was you or me, old friend, and besides, you were the one who came up with that."

"Tch, well, let's forget that, tell me then, what are you looking for."

"I'd like you to give me your assistant."

"At her?" He said surprised while pointing at Rin.

Rin for her part, upon hearing this proposal, could not help but get nervous and very worried, since at this point, although she had already overcome her fear that the manager would betray her at ease.

But she knew that the manager was a first-rate gambler, and that also, if he fulfilled his bets, therefore, it was a fact to predict that he would accept and it was correct to say that in case of his loss, she would leave. from this position to an unknown one.

Although in the end, all this escaped her hands, and she could only watch with concern, how this unfolded and wish her current boss luck.

"Yes, she, who else."

"Hey, don't tell me you got a weird taste after you're old."

"No! Not that old pig, you see, I had already mentioned it to you, but my nose in these years has gotten worse, making my work difficult with this, and that's when I saw her."

"So what, did you start thinking about using her as a walking nose?"

"Exactly, it's good that you understand me."

"Of course not, if you want a nose, you have that of your grandson and heir."

"He is just a brat now and knows almost nothing, on the other hand, he should have a good nose for her and only have to answer what he smells."

"Your logic doesn't make sense despite being a scholar, so tell me if you want a big nose, why not grab some beast here, I think there are some who are soldiers."

"Those brutes? I wish, if I go to the harem with him, there will be a scandal and not even think if the prince makes him an eye."

"Yes ... that makes sense, but how about another bestial servant."

"And for me to be touched by a madwoman with dreams of greatness, that's why I want her, who is a statue if what you told me was not false."

"Of course it's true, I win by lying to you ... at least outside of games ..."

"Well, then are you satisfied with this justification, or is the great Sou afraid of a bet."

"Of course not, I'll bet but I want something of the same level."

"Oh of course, how about I pull a few strings and send you a eunuch from the inner palace?"

"Not that gross, at least she is ugly, but is a woman."

"And you tell me, filthy old man ..., then tell me what you want."

"Umm, I want you to start cleaning the bathrooms for a week."

"You really still get over it ... you look like a child ..."

"I'm 60 and I'm in retirement, what's wrong with enjoying these little tastes."

"That I can't deny you, well then I accept."

"Well then, let's get started," said manager Sou confidently starting another game.

This was just another game for them, but for Rin who was present, it would not be strange to think that it was the game of her life, in which she could only watch with agony how it slowly unfolded with each passing turn, until later. an hour had ended after a close encounter.

A meeting that from the beginning to the end there was no clear winner, and only at the end, due to a small oversight, one of the 2 had lost and another won the victory and the prize.

"Well, it looks like I win, some excuse to give."

“Tch, neither was a fair match."

"Well then, to avoid making this more uncomfortable, I'll walk away with my award, oh and don't worry I'll do the paperwork for her."

"Get out of here, old scammer," Manager Sou said a little annoyed at his loss, but without suspicions.

And with this said, the doctor of the inner palace, got up from his chair and then left the place with Rin behind him, who by the way, seeing his boss lose, could not avoid sinking once badly in the depression of going to an unknown place with unknown dangers.

But even with this fear, honoring her good stay in this place, she before leaving the door, leaned towards her old boss and told him sincerely.

"It was a great pleasure for this humble servant to work under your command, dear sir."

And to her surprise, her former boss, the one who, although never interested in her and even considered her an object, also said goodbye to her saying.

"It was also nice working with you and don't worry, that miserable old man is good people, besides, I still maintain that I always win my bets even when I don't."

This sincere farewell, from this sincere boss, although he still could not get her out of his dark hole, at least, it gave her hope to meet good people, and the calm of his near future, and, with these feelings, she bowed one last time, and then leave the door, ending their stay not only in the purchasing department but also in the external area of ​​the palace.
