When I was working as a civil servant, I was found out to be a muscle-brained knight by the princess knight and got sent to the front lines - Episode 53

Episode 53

“When you go to report to your boss or someone important, you make sure to prepare thoroughly and attend the meeting in perfect condition, right? That’s what they call a Full Armor Bureaucrat. Sometimes bureaucrats literally arm themselves completely.”

“That’s absolutely wrong.”

“And the official attire is the second generation, you know. So, it’s the Full Armor Bureaucrat Mk-II. How about that? Pretty cool, huh? When I came up with this, I was awestruck by my own genius.”

“Yeah, yeah, you’re a genius.”

Jez replied with an air of disbelief at Victor’s ridiculous explanation. But well, it was indeed something useful to break through this situation.

“And here, you can use this too.”

From the pocket of his lab coat, Victor pulled out a mysterious potion shimmering in seven colors. At first glance, it didn’t seem like something one should drink.

“…Drink this?”

Jez asked with a very reluctant expression, placing a glimmer of hope in his inquiry. Victor, with an expression of “What are you talking about?” replied,

“Of course, potions are meant to be drunk. Even if you just watch, they won’t have any effect. Hmm? Even if you don’t drink it, you might absorb some through your skin by wearing it on your head, maybe?”

“That’s not it.”

Jez was hesitating to drink the potion, looking at its absurd color.

“A cold, inorganic, large-scale structure towering up to the heavens, made entirely of concrete. It’s like a dense jungle of artificial and inhumane environments.”

Victor began speaking with a serious face and a distant look in his eyes.

“The bureaucrats there are busy with office work, wearing the same clothes and strangling themselves with mysterious strings. Recently, they’ve been staying up all night drinking dangerous drinks,” Victor continued.

Jez listened quietly, wondering what Victor was talking about. Victor’s explanations were sometimes convoluted, but since they often contained important information, Jez had no choice but to listen, which was frustrating.

“This potion hasn’t been reproduced yet, but it’s called Seven-Bull, with respect for the heroes from another world. Apparently, in the other world, drinking it gives you a refreshing feeling as if you’ve grown wings.”

The alchemist said so while adjusting his glasses meaningfully. Come to think of it, was he wearing glasses before? And what’s with heroes from another world? Jez was too tired to even comment, almost slipping into a fake Kansai dialect.He felt like this guy had completely crossed the dimensional barrier. Could those glasses actually observe other worlds? Or did he seriously make another dangerous concoction with that potion?

(Note:The Kansai dialect is often associated with humor and comedy in Japanese media)

Deciding that all comments could wait until he knocked down the golden, shining, fifty-year-old (king) who was quietly waiting for the situation to unfold in front of him, Jez asked again, “So, I just have to drink it?”

“That’s right. Just drink it already,” Victor urged.

With the Seven-Bull handed to him by Victor, Jez gathered his courage and gulped it down in one go.

…

After gulping it down for a few seconds… Huh? Surprisingly, nothing happened. Is it just a regular potion? Jez relaxed slightly, just at that moment.

Boom!!! With a pounding sensation from the depths of his stomach, the bureaucrat’s eyes widened in shock.

Power surged from within his body. His mind sharpened even further, as if he could understand the truth of the world now. …A mysterious sense of omnipotence. And just as Jez realized this discomfort, regaining his senses,

“Hey! Is this really okay!?” Jez panicked, feeling the surge of magical power wanting to overflow from the depths of his body, he asked Victor for confirmation.

“It’s fine, it’s fine! Everyone’s drinking the Red Bull and working high, aren’t they?!” Victor replied with an answer that made no sense at all. Amidst such a ridiculous exchange, as the waves of magical power rising from the depths of his body began to run rampant,

“Guh!?” Jez, unable to withstand his own magic power, squatted down, clutching his own body,

“Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”

With a scream, a pair of rainbow wings unfolded from Jez’s back. Victor’s specially made potion, Seven-Bull. It shall grant you wings.

(Note: Lol, get it? The commercial)

“Damn iiiiiiiit!!!! That doesn’t mean I’ll really grow wings!!!”

Amidst the overflowing magical power, Jez, unable to bear it, inwardly cursed the insane alchemist.

“Jez! Quickly deploy conceptual armor!!! If you stay like that, you’ll explode!!!”

Jez internally cursed the insane alchemist for not saying it sooner.

Enduring the pain of magical rampage and the rainbow wings sprouting from his back, Jez swiftly dons the new official attire. Note that the mysterious wings permeate through the official attire, having no tangible form.

Furthermore, he attaches arm covers to both arms and holds a pen in each hand. It’s already chaotic.

“Ugh, seriously!! Damn it all!!”

Jez, now at his wit’s end, shouts the words that come to mind.

“Voices engraved in the flow of time, listen to my call! Let my voice resonate to every corner of the world, showing my will to the heavens!”

With Jez’s incantation, the Mk-II official attire activates, with patterns glowing and lines of light running.

“I am the seeker of truth, the ruler of civilians. Born from chaos, knowledge resides within me. Let my words become power, harboring civilization’s light in the darkness, the journey seeking truth is endless.”

Furthermore, the Mk-II official attire transforms. Various slits open up, rapidly absorbing the overflowing magical power from Jez.

“Guided by the principle of control, the light of wisdom, I confront my enemies with two forces. The utopia of deception is contrary to the principles of this world.”

Following that, a massive amount of magical power flows into the arm covers Jez wore on his arms, changing their shape.

“Crystallization of ancient wisdom and newfound knowledge. Gather in my hands and become my strength. Oh chaos, shapeless entity, heed my command.”

As the arm covers emit an exceptionally bright glow, they transform into massive gauntlet-like arm covers that extend from fingertips to elbows.

“Guided by the light of reason, become a star that illuminates the darkness. Unveil the root of my enemies and reveal the truth to this world. Unleash the source of power and overcome all obstacles standing before me.”

And finally, as two pens dance in the air,

“I inquire. What is true freedom, true order? Let me show my answer to this world. The will of civilians, the light of reason, the order from chaos,” Jez’s shoulders are equipped with giant cannons (pen).

(Note: The fuck is this? Kamen rider!? Lol)

“World, sink into silence. My will is the light of order, piercing through the darkness to illuminate reason. Oh wheel of governance, rotate. Oh wheel of destiny, alter its course.”

Rainbow wings, shining armored official attire Mk-II, massive gauntlet arm covers extending to the elbows, and cannons on both shoulders.

“I challenge the foolish rule standing before me. What is true freedom? Behold, the light of enlightenment, the sea of chaos. Now, let the creation of a new order begin! Activate Extra-class Conceptual Armament. Civilian Control – Enlightenment Leviathan – Chaos Gate.”

A seven-colored light shines brightly illuminating the world. And across from it, stood an equally radiant golden light.

Absolute Monarchy Arcadia
Civilian Control – Enlightenment Leviathan – Chaos Gate
Supreme concepts that can’t be reconciled is now colliding
