10-9: Mansion Residence
Currently, two days after we installed the carving seal board on the new hunting grounds of area 74, we decided to return to the mansion…
I returned to the mansion once every day with [Return] to see the situation there, but since Tiane and the others wanted to see Bu Miteruna, they would currently return through area 4…
The reason why they didn't return the day after tomorrow was to hide space magic…
It would be strange if they returned earlier than the explorers who exterminated the Maze Cockroaches when they should have been behind, so we delayed it by a day…
Cronoa and I immediately teleported to the mansion first of them…
We teleported to the cage…
I have confirmed that there is no one beside the horse…
They were good horses for not being surprised at us who appeared all of a sudden…
I have decided to give them specially made food in return…
This is a new one added with crushed corn…
We left the cage and headed to the main building…
The girls working in the garden seemed to have noticed us and came to us…
They're Roji and Annie if I'm not mistaken…
"Welcome home, same Chevalier…"
"Welcome home…"
"Ah, I'm home…"
I detected it in Bu Miteruna who seemed to have noticed the cheerful voice of the two and then went to the front hall…
I have confirmed the situation of the children and Miss Miteruna with the magic [Clairvoyance]…
Although I can't say that they have opened their hearts, they are getting better…
"Welcome, master…"
"I go home, does anything happen as long as I'm not around…?"
"Yes, two letters have arrived…"
In the living room, I listened to Ms. Miteruna about the visitors and events here as long as I wasn't around…
His letter was from Viscount Shimen and Marchioness Ashinen…
It seems that Viscount will be returning to the capital Duchy tomorrow the day after tomorrow, so he invited me to dinner tomorrow…
Marchioness Ashinen invited me to a tea party at noon tomorrow…
It seems that the wives and daughters of the influential Nobles in Selbira regularly attend tea parties…
Since personal connections helped me a lot in the capital Duchy, I wrote a letter of acceptance and gave it to Ms. Miteruna…
Oh right, I remember about the letter…
I hand over the rest of the greetings letter I wrote last night to Ms. Miteruna…
He looked a little surprised because of the thickness of the bundle…
This is for my acquaintances in the capital Duchy and the dwarves in Bollhart…
Of course I have written the part for the princess Menea in the royal capital, and the daughter of Viceroy Ririna as well…
I also wrote down our current condition in addition to giving formal greetings to Sera and the people close to me…
Unlike in faraway places like Muno Baronetdom, there are caravan traders who regularly go to the royal capital and then the airship can go from the royal capital to the capital Duchy, which is the capital of Duchy, delivering the letter was easy as well…
The dwarf-born city was a little too far away, but since there were caravan merchants who regularly went there from the capital Duchy, it should be fine…
The children we have saved have recovered enough to perform simple tasks, thanks to nutrition and magic potions…
After they recovered their muscle strength later on, they should be fine…
At the suggestion of Ms. Miteruna, the children's bed had been moved to the maid building from the main building…
The reason why the children were in that place was because they wanted some kind of grass that grew in the cage…
The fruit of a grass called Tami Poppy seems to be very bitter, but it can be used as a painkiller…
However, it contains few toxins, so when a person ingests it in large quantities, their consciousness will become hazy and lethargic…
They needed such painkillers because of the injuries they had gotten in the labyrinth…
For [Baggage Carriers] who had broken bones especially, their only option was to sell themselves to slave traders or die like dogs…
The slave merchant had given up on these children…
Since being saved as in this case seems to be quite rare, the children are very grateful…
That's not the reason I want to hire these kids as the mansion's servants…
This mansion requires a variety of reliable hands because there is a magic tool this dimansion is not like. Nobles mansion in the capital Duchy, so this is appropriate…
"Then, are you going to let them stay in the mansion…?"
"They don't seem to have a purpose even if we let them go…"
"Can you teach them how to work little by little@?"
"I accept it…"
"I'm going to make them wonderful maids…"
Miteruna calmly accepted it…
Very reliable…
"True, how much do people usually pay children to work…?"
"You don't have to pay them if they stay…"
Instead of paying them until they grow up, you have to guarantee their food, clothing and shelter…
If you're going to hire them after they're grown up, the common payment is one silver coin, though that also depends on their abilities…
The payment is not for a day of work…
It's for a month…
Of course the numbers will go up as their job descriptions improve, or their abilities improve…
By the way, Bu Miteruna's salary is one gold coin a month…
"Master, please buy the kids clothes and shoes if you're going to hire them…"
"You don't have to give them anything expensive, but if you let them wear old clothes and no shoes, people will doubt the status of the family of the House of Secilia…"
Worrying about the family status of a house that has just been established for a few months is one thing, but I want to give them clothes and shoes…
"I understand…"
"Buy 2-3 clothes including for a change of clothes…"
"If the money I gave you before wasn't enough, should I add it…?"
"No, if the master allows me to use one silver coin of the money that has been given to me, it should be enough for the old clothes and ropes…"
"Replacement for underwear is needed, but it is enough to give them one outfit for each…"
"If their treatment is too extravagant, the attitude of the servants will become arrogant…"
Ms. Miteruna gently reprimanded me…
I intend to adjust the maid uniform for them later, is that also bad…?
"Adjust a uniform suitable for the servants…?"
It just didn't exist, it wasn't forbidden, so I decided to give the maid uniform to the children when they could work independently…
Lina and the others have returned. For some reason, he contacted me with [Telephone] when they had just exited the labyrinth gate…
It seemed like they were surrounded by explorers and could not move…
Looks like they'll handle it properly and come back here…
Lina and the others arrived an hour later…
"We're crowded, it's terrible, you know…"
"They're going to have a safe return celebration party at the tavern tonight, they said…"
"You are invited too…"
"Understand…"
"I'll go with you because I don't have plans tonight…"
He gave me a small sack with cash while grumbling…
The payment from the sale of magic coredan materials was a bit much…
It seems that the leader of the Maze Cockroaches extermination party has given the magic core payment for the Maze Cockroaches that we destroyed…
"He apologized because he couldn't return most of the Maze Cockroaches materials because they didn't carry [baggage carrier]…"
"What things can be made from Maze Cockroaches…?"
"Don't know…?"
"Maybe the armor of Maze Cockroaches and helmets…?"
It seemed like he wasn't too interested, Tiane dazedly answered him…
Right now, I gathered Tiane and the others and the servants in the hall and let them introduce themselves to each other…
By the way, the dying children are all human girls and their names are Yuni, Aina, Kitona, Suna, Teriona and Hoho from oldest to youngest…
I thought that they were ugly because the slave traders abandoned them, but every girl looked normal despite being innocent…
Their hair is cut short or bob cut because the treatment is difficult, it is a pity…
"Then, everyone other than Cronoa is the same, Ciel the same and Mia the same is a slave…?"
"Yes, I want to let go of Lina and Tiane but I can't because there's a bit of circumstance…"
"I'll release Totona and the others immediately if they want to…"
I answered Ms. Miteruna's question with a bitter smile…
They had obtained the Red Iron Plate, they were already good enough to be released at any time…
I have to seriously research a way to let go of enforcement (Geass) after Lina and the others have levelled up enough…
"Master, our wish is to repay the favor to the master…"
"Please use us as slaves like that…"
"A child not needed…?"
"Please don't leave me…"
They said the same thing as when I was going to take it off in Muno city that time…
What about followers, not slaves…?
"You're not an unneeded child…"
"What about being my follower, not a slave…?"
"A quilter…?"
"Everyone becomes a follower…?"
"Tiane and Lina have to wait…"
"Can we do it together…?"
"Then we do it together…"
Lina placed her arm around Pochi and Tama's neck and shouted “Mut ~ mou!” while swinging…
Tiane also looked very pleased…
"Yes…!"
"Since they will be employed here, how about teaching them the letters…?"
"You're right, can you lend them that learning card…?"
I agree with Tiane's suggestion…
The next words came from Ciel…
Since they agreed with that, I asked Lina and Tiane to teach the children and Ms. Miteruna how to play the learning cards…
Bu Miteruna looks very confused when saying “Taught letters to ordinary children.?”.
"That's true.All team members can read, write and count…"
"A-these kids, too…?"
Ciel appointed by Bu Miteruna replied “Of course ” and started reading the picture book aloud…
They should really stop at punctuation…
I asked the other groups Totona, and Cronoa while Lina and Tiane were teaching how to play the learning cards…
I read a book in the chair I put under a tree in the yard…
This is a dummy…
Actually, I'm currently investigating the experiments for the Living Armor's power source…
The main candidate is a container of magic power (battery) like the one used by scarecrow, but since it requires a special material like world tree sap, I want something more common…
Suddenly, I thought about the holy sword and the magic sword wood that had been filled with magic power…
True, filling an object with magic power itself is possible even without using special materials such as world tree sap…
The problem is storage capacity, period and also efficiency…
Well then, let's find some circuitry that can be used for it…
Totona called out to me as if she saw that I had decided on a rough destination…
"Secilia same, how about a cup of tea…?"
Lulu carries a goblet glass with blue tea in it. It's a cold tea that goes with the TPO(Time Place Occasion).
"Thank you, did you cool it down with life magic?"
"Yes…!"
"Using magic is really convenient…"
Totona who spoke to me while smiling with her whole face was dazzling…
His magic capacity had increased by his level so that he could freely use magic…
It may be a good idea to teach children life magic and compounding after they learn to read and write…
While thinking about such a thing, my mind returned to the study of magic tools…
