"Heh? Little Nathan, you actually applied for the recruitment and I approved it?" Maria asked as Nathan reached Maria in the queue.
"Mhmm. This notification letter even has my name on it. I took it out when I was distributing them to the respective applicants this morning." said Nathan while showing his name on the letter to Maria.
"Ah... Why didn't I even notice that last night?" Maria exclaimed, rather refusing to believe his own eyes. Nathan shrugged.
"But Little Nathan, why would you want to apply for this recruitment?" Maria asked, as curious as Dominic earlier.
"I don't trust other people at His Grace's side, I don't want to see anyone like Brother Dan again to hurt His Grace." said Nathan, with the same words he used to convince Dominic.
"I see... But even if it's so, you don't really need to apply for the interview and compete with everyone else, right?" said Maria, who actually repeats almost the same words as Dominic.
"No, I demand a proper interview and recruitment process." said Nathan with a firm attitude.
"Aww... Okay then, let's start our interview." said Maria. Nathan nodded with a serious expression.
"So, following our original procedure. Let's start with your self-introduction and why are you applying for this position." said Maria as he switched his tone to a more serious tone.
And so, Nathan properly introduced himself and repeated the reason he applied for the interview for one more time.
"Okay. Tell us why you think you are qualified for the mentioned position. Or rather, tell us what you are capable to do for this position." said Maria.
"Well, Brother Chris once told me that he thinks I can take over Brother Dan's position. He even taught me everything I need to know to be His Grace's personal assistant, like how to sort out documents by the level of urgency and importance, helping His Grace to handle and reply to some simple reports and letters, ensuring his desk is always neat and clean, and most importantly, how to makes a cup of good tea." said Nathan, who sounds rather serious.
"Heh? Chris-chan actually told you all these?" Maria exclaimed, rather surprised when he heard Nathan mentioned about Chris.
Blair who is interviewing the other applicants is intrigued as well.
"Mhmm... He told me something like eighty-five degrees Celsius for black tea and seventy and below for green tea and white tea. He also told me that it's best to use distilled condensate water to brew tea. Oh! And if we make tea with teapot, we need to give one extra portion of tea leaves to the pot." said Nathan, who is trying hard to memorize all the picky details from Chris about tea.
"Ah... That certainly sounds like something Chris-chan will say. But I do I have a feeling that everything that boy had told us is actually Chris-chan's standards for his personal assistant." said Blair who had done interviewing the current applicant.
"Mr. Blair, we are still in the middle of the recruitment session, please don't leave your post just like that." said Maria, in a reprimanding tone.
"Aww... Miss Maria, you can be quite tensed sometimes. But don't you think that there isn't any reason left to continue this interview? It seems like Chris-chan had personally chosen this boy as that angel's personal assistant since the beginning." said Blair.
"Ah... You are right. It definitely feels like Chris-chan's style. Are we really going to halt this interview, I mean everyone is still waiting." said Maria.
"I guess that's the only way." said Blair.
"Not really. Brother Chris said that we still need to recruit about ten more basic clergies to replace those who got dismissed during Brother Dan's incident, and His Grace is planning to reconstruct the shadow punisher group as well." said Nathan.
"Ah... I see... Damn it! I thought I was the planner of this whole event." said Maria.
"Uhm... I guess, you were." said Blair, trying to be as inoffensive as possible.

Secret Base. Infirmary.
Ben had returned to the infirmary and is busy with his work as usual.
"You leg had been recovering well, by right, you should be able to get up from the bed within three days." said Ben as he was done examining Junior's leg injuries.
"Thanks, Dr. Ben, you had been working days and nights for my legs, you are a really responsible doctor. I actually feel quite bad about it... You don't really need to sacrifice your sleep and check up on me every three hours, even at midnight." said Junior.
"Well, you should thank Chris, he tried his best to save your legs, I am just making sure it's recovering well... And where the hell is that Earth Deity? I am running out of some medical supplies again here, I thought I told him to refill everything this morning." Ben ranted, yup, he is getting himself a free slave again.
Junior can't help but laughed out a bit after listening to Ben's rant.
Suddenly, Silvia ran towards Ben from the other side of the infirmary that is separated by a folding screen.
"Dr. Ben! Dr. Ben! That blonde hair lady is showing signs of regaining consciousness!" Silvia joyfully exclaimed in excitement.
"What? Marco is regaining consciousness? I'll be there in a minute." said Ben, who surprisingly sounds excited...
At the same time, the duo who are sitting at the lounge heard the commotion as well.
"Ah... So she finally awoke huh? I don't know if it's a happy news or not." said Sky.
"Mhmm... I have the same thought as yours." said Chris.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
