However, before she could start working for long, a snoring sound began to fill the air.
Olga Marie turned her head and saw that Marne was lying on the ground, fast asleep.
She had intended to leave Ma En aside as punishment for his rudeness, but she never expected that Ma En would be so shameless, and she was furious again.
She instantly stood up and rushed over, stomping hard on Ma En's stomach.
"Wake up, you bastard!"
"Whoa! Cough!"
After a whistle, Ma En woke up instantly, coughed twice from choking on his breath, and looked at Olga Marie. He was about to say something, but then froze.
Olga Marie had just nodded in satisfaction at her masterpiece when she suddenly noticed that Marne's expression was a little off.
Wait, he seems to be staring at her, but why?
Seeing that the other party had not yet reacted, Ma En, unusually displaying his gentlemanly manners, closed his eyes and said, "...Quite pretty, red silk is also quite rare, hmm, very nice."
Having been warned to this extent, even the dumbest girl should have realized it by now.
Well, it's nothing really, it's just that Marne is lying on the ground and Olga Marie is standing next to him, so inevitably, he's exposed.
As for what Marx and Engels saw?
It's actually just two sausages wrapped in red.
It's safe to say that safety shorts are truly one of humanity's most failed inventions!
Upon hearing this, Olga Marie instantly realized what was happening, her pretty face turning bright red as she transformed into a steamy 'steam princess' and quickly took a few steps back.
She cursed at Marne, filled with shame and indignation: "That bastard!...@#￥#@!"
As Olga Marie's insults grew increasingly offensive, Maren, who had initially intended to let her vent her frustrations, couldn't help but retort, "I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know who just stood there so casually in front of me."
"He's even wearing safety shorts. Does he really think that many people will care? Who is he trying to protect himself from? What about the trust between people?"
"What did you say! What do you mean nobody cares?!"
Olga Marie immediately bristled, glaring furiously at Marx and Engels.
His fierce appearance made it seem as if he wanted to devour Marx and Engels alive.
Marne felt a pang of guilt upon seeing this, but still forced a smile and said, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"You didn't say it, but that's what you meant!"
Olga Marie, however, would not be fooled by Marne so easily.
That damned bastard, how dare he say that nobody wants me?!
If Marne's previous behavior only annoyed her, Olga Marie is now genuinely angry.
After all, she is a girl, and how many girls can tolerate this kind of slander?
The answer is... no!!!
Chapter 198 The Beginning of the Legend, Roman: ! Wow, he really dared to go for it!
Just as girls love beauty and like others to praise their beauty, what girls can't stand and dislike the most is others denying their charm.
Therefore, Marne's move can be described as stepping on a landmine, completely devastating Olga Marie.
Ma En realized this as well, and secretly blamed himself for his slip of the tongue. However, it was too late to say anything now, so he could only helplessly say, "If you insist on understanding it that way, then there's nothing I can do."
Olga Marie was too lazy to pay attention to Marne's 'sophistry' and silently raised her clenched fist, which glowed with a faint enhancement light.
"Any last words?"
"...That's all, you can come now."
"Go to hell!!!"
……
Half an hour later, Ma En, with a bruised and swollen face, was thrown out of the director's office, causing several staff members passing by in the corridor to turn their heads in surprise.
They couldn't help but wonder what this newcomer had done to warrant the director's intervention.
It's important to know that although the director can be quite short-tempered and very strict, he rarely resorts to physical violence. At most, he might be targeted at work (to the extent of being closely monitored) or given punishments like cleaning toilets.
After all, everyone is just working, not actually selling themselves. So, the 423 corporal punishment situation usually doesn't occur, and the director knows this limit.
Therefore, Marne's actions have set a precedent for Chaldea, and it's hard to imagine what he did in his space to make the Director so furious.
Maren paid no attention to the stares of these people, calmly stood up, picked up the documents that had been thrown out with him, and walked towards the infirmary.
This counts as a work injury, and he plans to spend the rest of the day in the infirmary.
As for the task mentioned in the document, which required him to quickly complete the database of heroic spirits, Maren simply ignored it.
It's impossible for him to actually work seriously, since he's not there to work for free; he's just going through the motions.
As soon as he left, the staff members who had witnessed the scene gathered together.
"What mistake do you think he made?"
"How would I know? I just passed by here, but I didn't hear anything."
"Hey, do you guys think it's possible that this is the case?"
"What's possible?"
"That's right, the injuries on the newcomer weren't actually from making a mistake."
"Not a mistake? Then what could it be? Wait! Could it be that he and the director are actually..."
"Shh~~ Keep your voice down, don't let the director hear you."
"You know what, it's actually possible. I think the new guy is about the same age as the director."
"This is big news! I didn't expect that the director had already gotten someone without saying a word."
"Alright, everyone stop guessing. Let's just talk here. Don't say anything you're not sure about. Otherwise, if it's a misunderstanding and we get investigated, none of us will escape."
"Hmm." XN
But will you really not tell anyone?
Gossiping is part of human nature, whether it's listening or talking about it.
Especially in a closed environment like Chaldea, although there are recreational facilities, people can still feel somewhat depressed.
The way to release this repression is naturally to find fun, chat, and gossip—these are the most basic forms of entertainment.
As Marx and Engels themselves never expected, a legend about him quietly spread within Chaldea.
Unaware of all this, Ma En suppressed his own healing, his head and face covered in wounds, and went to the infirmary.
"Marn... Waaah! What happened to these injuries?!"
Roman, who was on duty in the infirmary, recognized Marne instantly. There was no way around it; Marne's black clothes, which were the same style as his, were unique in Chaldea, making him extremely easy to recognize. One glance was enough to tell them apart.
Roman initially thought Marne was just visiting, but upon closer inspection, he was shocked to see the scars all over Marne's face.
He immediately got up to prepare medical supplies and said, "Please sit on the hospital bed first, I'll be right there."
As instructed, Ma En sat down by the bedside, and Roman quickly brought over the first-aid kit and began to examine Ma En's injuries.
"It's alright, they're just superficial injuries. A little treatment will do the trick, and they'll be fine in a couple of days."
As he spoke, he began to work on it, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you do this? Your job shouldn't require you to go to any dangerous areas, right?"
The Chaldea medical department is actually quite busy, mainly because there are some dangerous jobs and areas within Chaldea, and accidents often occur.
However, Marne's work was clearly unrelated to these accidents, so how did he end up like this?
"It was Mary who did it. She's so easily provoked, and she even dared to hit someone in the face. Poor me, my handsome face, which was originally as handsome as yours, is almost disfigured now."
"And you, why did you have to provoke her for no reason... Wait?! The Mary we were talking about earlier, could it be Director Olga Marie?"
Roman didn't pay much attention at first, but then it suddenly dawned on him that there were other people in Chaldea whose names included Mary, but it seemed that the only one Marne would come into contact with was the Director.
"Yes." En nodded.
"Holy crap! He actually flirted with the director?!" Man's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Ma En as if he were some kind of monster.
He then gave Marne a thumbs up: "Warrior, who gave you the courage to be so reckless?"
Flirting with your boss? Holy crap! You really think you can come up with something like that, and you're really daring to do it!
Roman could only say, "I admire you! I'm completely outmatched!"
You should know that he only dared to slack off occasionally; in front of the director, he could only pretend to be obedient.
After all, the current director is the same one as before, and he won't be as considerate of him anymore.
Ma En waved his hand with a smile and said smugly, "Of course, I'm super brave. I don't care who she is or what her status is. I'll flirt with her without hesitation."
"Then why were you beaten so badly?" Man silently gave Ma En a look, letting him figure it out for himself.
Ma En pursed his lips and said, "I was just going along with her, so that the girl wouldn't cry."
"Then tell me, what were you thinking back then, that you actually thought of flirting with her?"
This is what Roman is most curious about: what was Marne thinking when he did such a feat?
"Tsk, I was forced into this situation too. She actually said my attitude wasn't right. Isn't my attitude right enough? Look how hard I work. I even take the initiative to do things."
Roman: "..."
→_→
Roman silently gave you a disdainful look and watched you show off.
Chapter 199 is outrageous! A melodramatic romance between En and the director?
Ma En then stopped joking and said somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, actually, I just wanted to joke around with her because I saw she looked tired with that serious face."
Roman nodded: "Indeed, that's how things have been lately. She's under a lot of pressure and needs to relax a bit."
He had also noticed that Olga Marie had been on edge ever since the lights of the civilization above Chaldea went out, and that this might affect her mental health if it continued for too long.
As the manager of Chaldea's medical department, he was also thinking about whether to persuade the other party to take a rest. However, he did not expect that while he was still hesitating, Marne had already taken action.
