Of course, I did not rest completely defenseless.

It seems like there are probably people who would be interested in me.

If such people come to you at night, you should at least be prepared to greet them.

So I took minimal precautions, such as locking the door.

They said they put a can where the door opens, or something like that.

After getting there, I felt like I could rest in peace.

Normally, I could survive for several days without sleep through willpower, but not now.

My body was instinctively telling me that it needed time to recover.

If I didn’t sleep now, it could cause major problems later, so I had no choice.

“I’m glad I cleaned the floor.”

As I was lying down with a blanket wrapped around my body, I realized that I had chosen a good home.

The facilities seem to be somewhat good, and there don’t seem to be any bugs or anything like that.

Although there wasn’t too much furniture, this was still okay.

You can think positively that there are many things that can be stored at home.

When I woke up after half-fainting, it seemed like I woke up at just the right time.

Perhaps it was because my habit with Kang Si-woo had become ingrained in me, and I must have woken up around 5 in the morning again today.

There didn’t seem to be anything bad about waking up early here, so I got up right away and got ready to start the day.

Things like folding a blanket, arranging it around, and eating a quick breakfast.

“Hmm.”

But suddenly walking up the stairs became a hassle.

It was clear that all the doors were locked.

Yesterday, when I saw off Park Kang-chan, I locked everything and came up.

Come to think of it, I heard Noh Chang-hoon jumped out of the window at school.

Now that I have become somewhat stronger, I thought it might be possible to come back.

Of course, I wasn’t stupid enough to try it right away.

The doors are all locked, so it would be really embarrassing if I failed.

So, I opened all the doors and slowly looked out the window.

Fortunately, there was room to climb up here.

There was something like a protruding step that could be used to tend the flower bed, and it seemed possible to do so by stepping on it and entering through the window.

“Really, I should give it a try.”

If Noh Chang-hoon had seen it, he would have cursed me and called me crazy, but I really wanted to try it.

There’s a reason for that, too. What kind of landing is this?

I looked out the window and pondered for a moment. I didn’t think anything bad would come from practicing anyway.

There will be many situations where you have to jump in an emergency.

Yes, this was something I didn’t mind doing.

It could also instill something similar to intimidation.

I picked up the baton that was rolling on the floor, draped it over my shoulder, and opened the window a little more.

There was no furniture around, so it seemed easy to go in and out through the window.

There didn’t seem to be anything strange underneath, so it seemed like there would be no problem if I landed.

So I jumped straight down.

“… !”

The moment I landed, shock went up my body from my toes.

I was standing still, feeling a tingling sensation that cannot be described in words, when I suddenly felt gazes from around me.

I slowly turned my head and soon found a person wearing a helmet.

I was really surprised for a moment. Because I was attacked by masked people before I came here.

I almost swung my baton thinking it was a mask.

“… Sister, what are you doing?”

“Uh, Kang Chan.”

Park Kang-chan must have been there, too, and I saw him looking at me with an uneasy face.

I decided not to respond further.

what. why. what. A person could jump from the second floor.

In times like this, I thought it would be better to go out confidently.

Fortunately, everyone seemed rather overwhelmed because I walked out confidently.

I looked at the person wearing the helmet and Park Kang-chan alternately for a moment, then looked at the carriage pulled by the person wearing the helmet.

So, this person seemed to be from City Hall.

Just by looking at it, it looks like he’s good at delivering.

As if my guess was correct, the person wearing the helmet held out his hand and said.

“I am Lee Han-cheol, a level 8 civil servant belonging to the Post Office. From now on, I will be in charge of Yeji Lee’s friendship.”

“… yes? Well, first of all, this is Yeji.”

I accepted the handshake, but my mind was confused.

I couldn’t figure out what the word “friendship club” meant.

I wondered if this was a department meant to promote friendship.

Lee Han-cheol must have read the confusion on my face and answered calmly.

“Post-related administration is called postal administration. There are quite a few people who don’t know.”

“… Ah.”

“From now on, you can send me things like courier services, supplies, and letters. Well then, that’s it.”

Lee Han-cheol disappeared into the distance, pulling a cart.

I looked at it for a moment, then picked up the items he had placed on the floor.

The items were quite structured.

The same goes for food and drinking water. The mattress I brought to use as a bed seemed new enough.

It was enough for at least one person to last about a week.

However, it seemed like I couldn’t just trust this.

“Very close, 1 serving. It feels like this.”

I lifted things like canned food and snacks and put them down.

Finally, I looked at the container filled with dried berries and put it down again.

In the original work, there were attempts to preserve the fruit in various ways.

Since it is grown all year round and the growing season is short, I felt like I would grow it a lot when I was relaxed.

However, that was a method that was not presented until a year after the outbreak of the incident.

I didn’t know it would come out here already.

As expected, it seemed like there was a saint.

The original knowledge must already be incorporated into this force.

I stayed still for a moment, then picked up the heaviest items and went into the house.

Park Kang-chan hurriedly came up from behind, carrying items.

“Put it down there. Yes.”

“Okay.”

I put down the mattress in a suitable place.

If I added my blanket and the blanket that Park Kang-chan brought, it seemed like it would make a pretty decent bed.

But it still seemed like it was lacking. It seemed like there would be a lot of inconveniences as it was.

I thought it would be okay to release at least one favorite food.

Or maybe do something else and gather more food.

Of course, I had no choice but to enlist the help of Park Kang-chan.

You have to know at least how things work here to be able to work or not.

“Hey, Kang Chan.”

“Yes, sister.”

“What do I need to do to work here?”

“That’s it, you just need to sign a contract to work and then get permission from an official at the Ministry of Home Affairs.”

“… It’s a bit complicated.”

“ Since things are coming and going, it is bound to be complicated. Because it’s different from before.”

“Yes, I guess so. hmm… ”

I guess I guessed wrong.

You might have to look into the administrative organization or something like this first and then think again.

I didn’t know that the composition would be surprisingly solid.

For a marauder force, order itself was fairly established.

I asked Park Kang-chan to explain the organization.

Park Kang-chan slowly began to explain.

“That, sister. Do you know the administrative organization of the Republic of Korea?”

“Ungh. I know roughly.”

“It has been drastically reduced from there, so there are a total of 7 departments.”

“7… ? Did you leave only the things you really needed? No, do you have the manpower for that?”

“Well, I wonder what happened.”

Well, it seemed like that kind of department was necessary.

How many people live in Jinju? Even if only 5% of them survived, it would be quite a number.

Since you have to control so many people, you’ll need at least some discipline or something like that.

Above all, since this force has grown large through plunder, it will have no choice but to be even more thorough in such matters.

So I thought I would give it a listen.

“What kind of department is there?”

“Ministry of Public Security. Ministry of Information and Communication. exchequer. Ministry of the Interior. Department of Defense. Ministry of Health. Lastly, the Ministry of Justice.”

“ Hey, do you memorize all that?”

“Well, I played a bit of a brain role within the faction.”

“Perhaps, each department seems to have absorbed the roles of several departments… Is there a minister too?”

“Yes. of course. There is also a prime minister.”

“It’s so complicated… ?”

After listening to the explanation again, there were some parts that Park Sang-cheol misunderstood.

Prisoners and citizens. And it was accurate to the point that there were civil servants from level 9 to level 1.

But on top of that, he is now a minister and a vice minister. A lieutenant or a prime minister.

Well, they said that the classes were further complicated.

“They say that as their power has grown more recently, it has inevitably changed like that.

There are uniforms for each department, so it will be convenient if you memorize them.”

“Aha, really? Earlier… Like someone who belongs to the Post Office?”

“Most people at the Ministry of Information and Communication are wearing helmets, so it will be easy to tell them apart.”

“… My head will hurt for a while.”

I touched the back of my head with one hand.

Class seems to play a fairly large role in this faction, so it was imperative to memorize it all.

But I couldn’t not memorize it, so I had no choice.

I can’t sweep away everything.

When you come to Rome, you have to follow Roman law and there is a need to adapt it to some extent.

Still, I felt fortunate to have found a way to work.

I slowly thought about it and asked Park Kang-chan.

“Hey, Kang Chan.”

“Yes. Why are you doing that?”

“Security was probably the Ministry of Public Security, right? Then there will always be a shortage of manpower there?”

“Is that so? Because I have to clean things up often.”

“Even if I go in there, you won’t hear me say I’m a parachute, right?”

Park Kang-chan chuckled. I was wondering if that could really be the case.

I also smiled. It seemed like I would have to be in the care of the Ministry of Public Security or something for a while and dig up information.
