Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta

New Year's Work

"That's it all, keep selling our products to earn cash until the auction time after the Royal Conference." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Tell the nobles without any money we can discuss to sell their goods on credit next month." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

After getting the kids to sleep, I went to the Echigoya Company and reaffirmed the directions and policies for the new year.

The people gathered on the top floor of the main building of the Echigoya Company were former daughters of explorer nobles who ran the company including Manager, Porina and other workshop Managers, as well as slaves Kuro, Nell and Tifaliza, respectively, in total six people.

"Kuro similarly some of the letters came from nobles who were impressed by Nanashi's recent efforts, they wanted to meet in person." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"There are letters from the three Duke and eight Marquises that require a quick response between them." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"I won't meet them." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I trust the Manager." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Tell them I'll go to another country with my master, Nanashi the same." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"certain." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"For the order of visitors." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"I'm handing it to you." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

The manager solemnly nodded without any sign of dislike on his face even though I had already handed everything to him.

This girl was well versed in the balance of flow power from the nobles and the negotiations, so she was more reliable in the annoying negotiations than I was.

"Kuro equals, we're short of employees for accounting and paperwork on the secret division." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"In addition, there are more spies trying to disrupt the residence, so I would like to request an increase in personnel who can handle it." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"okay." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I'm allowing you to hire more." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I'll leave it to the Manager for the election and the wages." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Report only a summary to me." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Thank you so much for your trust." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"However, since this is a secret division, I thought of buying knowledgeable slaves rather than employees." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

Fumu, slave, yes.

I looked through the inventory of the slave traders on the map.

It seems there are quite a number of people in the slave merchant where I bought Nell and Tifaliza.

There were many noble houses stripped of their noble titles for the crime of treason, so perhaps the followers of those houses were sold as slaves of crime.

"Alright, I allow the purchase of slaves." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Deploy payment for the end of the month." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"There's no problem with the payment, but we can't make a master servant contract if Kuro similarly doesn't go alone." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"You are the master." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Is that okay for me?" Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

I was planning to use the Echigoya Company budget to buy it, so there was no problem and I confirmed it.

"Last, there is a demand for our cooperation in the revival of the royal capital from the Prime Minister." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Cooperation?" Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"Yes, even though they say cooperation, it's about ordering raw materials from the Echigoya Company." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

I saw the documents presented by Tifaliza who was next to the Manager.

The price in the contract is five times the market price so it is quite good, but the time limit is very limited.

"Alright, accept that." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Kuro sama, about..." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

The manager told me that obtaining raw materials would be difficult even for five times of the market price because there was currently a rush for the purchase of building materials around the royal capital.

"No problem." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Order materials from the Capital of Duchy, the Muno region, and the Kuhanou region." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"However, then the cost to bring them would be ..." Porina said in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"Have you forgotten the Manager?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

It doesn't matter if I just bring them myself.

I might be able to secure them at a market price of 20% if I bought them directly on the spot.

It shouldn't be tiring if I only have a local merchant to prepare the ingredients.

Once the work talks are over, we'll have a new year's party.

With the Manager's instructions, the lavish dishes and liquor prepared downstairs lined up on a large table in the strategy meeting room.

Right, I have to tell them one more thing before they all get drunk.

"Everyone, listen." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Tomorrow night, I give you special duties after night time." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Night time is about six o'clock after sunset.

After confirming that everyone had heard me, I continued.

"It'll be over for a while, but there's a good chance you won't be able to work afterward." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Finish the work for the day before." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Compared to the commotion when I told them about Special Tasks at first, this room has become quiet now.

I thought that there would be some complaints because they would be working late at night so quickly in the new year, but the atmosphere was not like that.

If anything, it seems to be profitable.

Geez, you guys are too crazy to work.

The manager asked me which clothes were good for it, so I told her to wear whatever she liked.

The clothes would not have much effect during work, he must have asked strange things.

At that moment, a blue light point was detected on the radar.

In front of my mansion.

I told everyone that I was going to leave early because some business came, and returned to my Mansion with the speed I had.

I realized that I forgot to say the important thing, “I brought management-level people to the labyrinth for leveling”, but since there was no danger to them, it was not, telling them on the appointed day should be fine.

"Master, there's a guest." Said Lulu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Ah, Lulu."

"Sorry to wake you up." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

I changed my clothes to Quick Dress after returning to my private room.

Everyone had woken up from the knocking sound of the entrance, but I told them that they could sleep again, and then I went downstairs while bringing only Lulu and Liza along.

When I opened the entrance, a soft light from golden hair entered my view.

"Se... San secilia!" Said Zena san with a slightly stuttering tone in a soft voice.

"I'm glad you're okay." Said Zena san with a slightly stuttering tone in a soft voice.

Zena san who was supposed to be in the Labyrinth City embraced me.

Hugging me with trembling hands, she kept repeating, “I'm happy. I'm really happy.” with the sound of crying.

Behind him were Lilio and two other girls from Zena Squad.

Apparently, they rode some horses, both the girls and the horses were breathing weakly.

“Burun”, I heard a snorting sound, so when I saw the horses, there were two horse carriages with dignity among the warhorses and passenger horses.

They were the Gii and Darii we left behind in the labyrinth city mansion.

When I took a closer look, the other horses were also horses from our mansion.

Bu Miteruna who is guarding the mansion might lend them.

"Yes, please don't worry." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"None of our girls got hurt." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Now, everyone, you must be tired." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I'll prepare the guest room, so please wash your sweat and relax." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I'll be preparing the guest room soon." Said Lulu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Then I will take the horses to the stable." Said Liza in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

Reacting to my words, Lulu and Liza started acting before I ruled them.

I invited three people from Zena Squad while calming down the crying Zena san while still hugging me.

"It looks terrible, but there's no casualties around this area, yes." Said Iona in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Yes, luck blessed us." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

I guided four people into the living room while answering Miss Iona.

"Did the demon lord appear?" Said Lilio in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"No, it's just a pink great demon and a lot of monsters." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Greaters?!" Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

When I answered Lilio who was joking honestly, beside her, Zena san who was drinking Lulu tea turned her head away as if she was about to jump.

"Ah, you don't have to worry." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"They were all defeated by the Hero Nanashi, and his Order of Golden Knights." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"We didn't get a turn to come out at all." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Really relieving..." Said Zena san in a happy tone and in a loud voice.

According to the Zena Squad, a priest who was training together with them in the labyrinth city suddenly received an oracle that conveyed about the crisis in the royal capital.

"Geez, Zena chi suddenly stopped using magic, going to run very hard, you know." Said Lilio in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Mo-mou, Lilio!" Said Zena san in a slightly irritated tone and in a loud voice.

"I've said so much to keep it a secret!" Said Zena san in a slightly irritated tone and in a loud voice.

You can definitely run faster than a horse with Wind Walk from wind magic, but the muscle fatigue from using it is very bad, so it is not suitable for long distances like a marathon.

"And then we asked Miteruna dono on our consent to borrow the mansion's horses and trouble everyone on it." Said Iona in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"We forcibly and without reason borrowed a horse, so please I ask for your tolerance for Miteruna dono." Said Iona in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"It's okay." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I've given her a lot of wisdom." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Miss Iona apologized for Bu Miteruna's assessment, but since there was no particular problem about it, I smiled back.

Lulu came to say that the room had been prepared, so I let the girls whose stamina gauge was almost dry to sleep.

"Zena chi can sleep with girls, you know?" Said Lilio in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Mou!" Said Zena san in a slightly irritated tone and in a loud voice.

"Lilio's stupid!" Said Zena san in a slightly irritated tone and in a loud voice.

My bed is wide, so adding just Zena san is not a problem, but since everyone will be together, ero things like Lilio imagined will not happen.

Before parting with the girls in front of the living room, I told Zena san, “Thank you for worrying about me.”

"Eh?" Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"You attended the Royal Conference?" Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"Yes, I was appointed Viscountcy during the Great Meeting Ceremony yesterday, so I am obliged to attend the conference." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

I apologize to Zena san and the others who ate breakfast with us for not being able to accompany them around the royal capital.

I guess it was unavoidable because Zena san muttered, “V-Viscount ?!” while his face hardened.

Although I had been a Chevalier of honor when we reunited in the labyrinth city, I leapt three levels into a Viscount when we were reunited in the royal capital.

I waited for Zena san to calm down and then continue the conversation.

In public, it becomes an Inspection.

"Then maybe I should ask Liza to guide you?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Yes, sure." Said Liza in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"Zena similarly, I am not worthy of being a substitute for Master, but I will guide you with complete sincerity." Said Liza in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"Please, I'm sorry to bother you." Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

Liza is ready to agree to my request, she will guide Zena san and the others.

"Make the Baroness the honor of guiding you really fancy." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"Hey, Arisa." Said Lulu in a firm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Lulu's denouncing voice towards Arisa's seductive words echoed in the dining room.

"Baroness honor?" Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"Yes, I was knighted yesterday." Said Liza in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

Liza solemnly replied to Zena san who was shocked.

"No way!" Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"A lizardkin is a noble?!" Lilio said in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"Is it because he's a mithril explorer?" Speak Ruu in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Liza san's performance isn't just that." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

Arisa answered the slightly rude Lilio and Miss Ruu who was very surprised by the bragging.

"You know!" Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.

"He defeated the living legend, Zeff Julberg the Unfalling of the Shiga Eight Sword!" Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.

"That's amazing!" Said Zena san in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"You're serious?" Speak Ruu in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"Shiga Eight Sword is the strongest group of knights in Shiga Kingdom, right?" Lilio said in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

"I can't just believe that he was raised all of a sudden, but if that was the truth, I can understand how he was granted the title of Honorary Baroness' noble." Iona said in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

The girls from the Zena squad each reacted differently to Arisa's exaggerated comments.

Only Zena san honestly praised back.

"In addition, he declined the invitation to become Shiga Eight Sword, and chose to become a follower of the Master, you know." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.

Arisa puffed out her flat chest.

Lastly, he told them, “We all also became Chevalier Honor you know!”, But the impact of Liza is too great, their reaction is just like, “Hm ~ m.”

I called Arisa to change the topic.

"Arisa, sorry but can you attend the Job Academy until we return to the Labyrinth City from now on?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

I actually had to go to the Job Academy alone to check the contents of the lesson and head hunting people, but since I was unable to leave due to the Royal Conference, I thought of making Arisa as my replacement.

However, Arisa's reaction was slightly different to my expectations.

"Awright!" Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.

"It's a school arc, isn't it!" Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and with a loud voice.

"Disturbing the school arc, in the encounter of the armed battle, the labyrinth explorer and the triumvirate!" Said Arisa in a happy tone and with a loud voice.

"Wooooo, I'm boilinggg!" Said Arisa in a happy tone and with a loud voice.

"Arisa, bad manners!" Said Lulu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Lulu rebuked Arisa who was standing on her chair.

"It's inevitable, it's." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"We're in front of the guests, you know?" Said Lulu in a calm tone of speech and in a relaxed voice.,

"Please forgive." Said Arisa in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

Arisa who was in the contemplation pose was scolded by Lulu in a soft voice.

"School?" Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.

"Training School, nanodesu?" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.

"I think it's the same." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"There are classes for literature, and magic other than the labyrinth." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Does everybody want to go too?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Go." Tama said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.

"I want to go, nanodesu!" Pochi said in a happy tone and in a loud voice.

"Yes!" Said shiro in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I want to." Said Crow in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Only four people answered excitedly, Tama Pochi, Shiro, and Crow.

If Shiro and Crow leave, then Nana should go as their guard, but I wonder what about Lulu and Mia?

"I've been given an invitation letter from the royal palace chef, so I'm thinking of visiting there." Said Lulu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Come to think of it, Lulu and the royal palace chef did some kind of cooking battle during the year-end night party.

I'm worried about letting Lulu go alone.

"Nana, sorry, but can you go with Lulu as her bodyguard?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Receive Master's orders." Nana said in a flat tone and in a calm voice.

Nana nodded easily, so I checked Mia's plan.

"Mia, what are you going to do?" Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Go." Mia said in a somewhat vague tone of speech and in a very slow voice.

Mia had a difficult face, but she decided to go to the Working Academy together with Arisa and the others because being alone in the mansion would be meaningless.

I rode with the four people from the Zena squad on the carriage going towards the palace, and went towards the mansion of Earl Seryuu in the royal capital.

As expected, they couldn't really not check on Earl Seryuu's safety when they came to the royal capital.

When we told the guards the purpose of our visit, right at that moment, the carriage that was carrying Earl Seryuu's party went to the royal palace came.

Zena san and the others got off the carriage, and knelt beside Earl Seryuu's carriage.

"Zena from Marientail's house, yes." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I remember seeing the girls behind as well." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"We have rushed to the royal capital of the labyrinth city after hearing of the disaster that happened here." Said Zena san in a nervous tone and in a soft voice.

Zena san nervously replied Earl Seryuu.

"Your, good work." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Earl Seryuu rudely replied with appreciation and turned his gaze towards me.

"Then, what reason did you come from Miss Secilia's carriage?" Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Earl Seryuu asked Zena san but his line of sight wanted to turn towards me.

Right at that moment, another carriage from the mansion came.

"Earl alike, is there a problem?" Belton said in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

A thirty-year-old noble with red hair came down from the carriage.

The nobleman smiled widely when his eyes met mine.

"Ooh, isn't that Secilia dono?!" Belton said in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Viscount Belton is the same, it's been a long time." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

He is the noble that I saved from being eaten by spiders during the disturbance of the Seryuu City Labyrinth.

"Belton, are you two acquainted?" Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Yes, he's the benefactor who saved me and my daughter from danger in the labyrinth." Belton said in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Hou?" Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I have not received any reports regarding a retainer from Earl Muno who was involved in the case from before." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Earl Seryuu rubbed his beard as if recalling it again.

"Does Secilia dono serve Earl Muno?" Belton said in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Not completely." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I was appointed to be an Honorary Chevalier by Earl Muno after the incident." Speak to me in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Hou, isn't that good enough!" Belton said in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

Viscount Belton misunderstood and patted me on the shoulder, bang bang, congratulating me.

This person was supposed to be a magician, but his way of rejoicing was like a knight or a soldier.

I wonder if the people who use fire magic are all kind-hearted?

"Not wrong, Belton." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Miss Secilia was picked up yesterday, she's a Viscount like you now." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"What-what?!" Belton said in a surprised tone and in a loud voice.

Viscount Belton let out a surprise sound as Earl Seryuu corrected him.

Apparently, he did not relate that Miss Secilia and Secilia were the same person.

Well, there was no way he would have thought that the traveler he knew would become a Mithril explorer.

"Master, we have to leave immediately." A male servant greeted us in a relaxed tone and in a calm voice.

"Your, right." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

An old man like a butler who was in the same carriage as Earl Seryuu warned Earl Seryuu while holding a watch magic tool in one hand.

"People from Zena Squad." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Given your loyalty, I won't question the actions of those of you who left your post without permission." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"I'll provide a room in the mansion." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Just relax for a moment before returning to the labyrinth city." Said Earl Seryuu in a calm tone and in a relaxed voice.

"Yes, we want to thank you." Said Zena san in a firm tone and in a loud voice.

The army mode of Zena san was very gallant.

Since Earl Seryuu and Viscount Belton went to the royal palace, I also went there after leaving Zena san and the others in the Earl Seryuu mansion.

After the carriage brought me to the palace, he would return to bring Zena san and the others back to my Mansion where Liza was waiting.

Today is the Kingdom Conference.

This ended after the election for the people responsible for the rise of the Royal Capital, and the reports of the three order knights who set out to go to war with the Bishtal Dukedom.

There were three breaks, but at that moment, many nobles came to promote their daughter and the daughter of their family, so I was annoyed.

The nobles who did so were not only the upper class people attending the royal conference, but also the lower class nobles who deliberately came to the conference for the sake of it.

The nobles of the Marquis Lloyd and Earl Houen faction protected me during the second break, so it was peaceful, but they came asking what dishes I would bring in the cooking contest with a joyful face, so I can't rest.

I was thinking of having a banquet at the guest house where Earl Muno stayed once, to change their target.

As expected, my Mansion is too small to invite top nobles.

After I returned to my mansion, there were 2 women who were standing there and looking right and left.

The first woman was a silver-haired woman and her hair was up to her feet long, dressed like a servant, however it is very different and with the chest part slightly open at the top and with a very long twintail hair model.

And another one was a woman with straight white hair along her legs as well with unraveling hair, and she wore a navy outfit complete with her hat like a commander.

They were both like 16-year-old teenage girls with beautiful and charming faces, looking at me and with a glance they saw me and...

"Secilia is the same." Tell them both in a happy tone and in a loud voice.
