“It’s been a long time, Manager Stero Conto. Is there any part of your body that is bothering you?”

“If you asked me back when I was just waiting for the day I’d die in a corner, maybe I’d say yes, but I’m about to face a major task, and I can’t afford to be sick. These days, I’ve even been taking health supplements along with some exercise that I didn’t usually do, and I feel like I could fly.”

Stero, who is over 60 and considered elderly by our empire’s standards, waved his arms around as if he could run a full marathon right now.

“You have a mountain of work ahead of you. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Stero slapped his fist against his chest and said confidently.
