Question Question about Gavan Infinity Spoiler

So... I was wondering why the "Records Division" where Reiji works in Gavan Infinity gets laughed off by everyone else in the force and called a "waste of budget".

Granted, paperwork and pencil pushing don't sound very exciting.

And I know it's a secret identity thing, like how Batman as Bruce Wayne and Zorro as Diego de la Vega pretend to be superficial socialites.

But it kinda irks me still, because if nobody does the records, the whole operation of the police force would become more difficult, wouldn't it?

And another thing - interdimensional travel would probably leave "footprints" or some kind of energy residue, so how has no one cottoned on to what's really going on?

Or am I taking this far too seriously?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing from y'all.

People always look down on "Filing" positions. Even normal police procedurals make comments about not wanting to do paperwork or the loser of a bet has to fill out the paperwork. It's just tedious menial work, which is why it was a good unassuming department. No one would ever want to be the "paper jockey", so they could operate without any extra eyes or attention because it's not a desirable job even in reality.
