Marquis' Express Butler

As I roll my head, I hear scratching at the door outside. I open the door and look down, and the white cat looks up at me.

“Meow.”

“Come on, man. Why.”

“Meow.”

Not at all communicative

Are they hungry? Or do they want to get out? I heard cats don't like going out, but this one's a little different. He was running like a dog in the garden in the first place.

Maybe I should ask Chris if he has any magic to talk to animals.

“Are you asking me to play? ”

As I sat squatting and trying to touch the cat, I heard a sound coming down the stairs. It was Selina who took the girl.

“Oh! I'm sorry. I couldn't catch the cat because it was so fast. Am I interrupting?”

“Since when did you become a cat? ”

“It... feels like a little sister. There's no name yet. ”

I feel like I'm not the only one with a second phase.

“Maybe we should just let him walk around. Is something wrong? ”

“The lady wants to go for a walk. I want to take a look around town. ”

“I'll get right on it. ”

“No! You asked me to get Lord Arthurs, not Lord D-Dylan!" ”

I stopped to turn around and get my weapons. Then I turned around again.

“Why?”

“That...... is not the Guardian Knight here, but the Lord. I can't ask you to do that." So he asked me to call Sir Arthur. ”

That's why I can't help but fall in love. It's as safe as a small town, so it doesn't matter if you put Arthur on it. And then there's Adeline's regular army.

“There should be a barracks in the back. Find Sir Arthur there. ”

“I understand.”

“I'm preparing dinner, so don't stay too long. Tell the lady well. ”

“Yep.”

Selina bows her head and goes out. The cat settles down on one side and starts grooming. I closed the door and came back inside.

An infant went for a walk, and a guest came while she was preparing for dinner.

It was Chris and Calmond. I sat in a rocking chair on one side, resting and punching them in the face.

“You're on your own. It was the car I was going to call. ”

“Very good. Looks like a job for the lord himself. ”

Chris throws a grumbling word, and I get it with a chuckle. But it didn't happen on the spot.

“I saw her on the way over, and I was surprised that you weren't there. It won't be that dangerous... But shouldn't we be next to each other? ”

“I have to work, too. It's my first time here. The lady took care of me first. That's why he took Arthur out. ”

“Is that how you work now? ”

I said, tapping my head.

“Work with your head, not your posture. ”

“You speak well. ”

“Don't worry, I've got good friends. They're very generous. Everything okay?”

“I would advise against the bad timing of those who are trying to attack us. It's all about morale. ”

“That's great.”

Eating and drinking excitedly in Zeke territory before leaving helped to restore morale. In addition, since the Baron's quest was successful, he gained a reputation and increased his sense of belonging and pride.

Later, I heard that the mercenaries who saw Arthur and Chris as well as Calmond's undocumented position paid their respects.

Well, what's important about the commander's toughness in the mercenaries? You're good.

“I'm sure Sir Chris would appreciate your help. I didn't know tactics could be so different before. ”

That's what Calmond said.

I nod, but I still add a word of advice. It's awkward to use honors, by the way. It would be too sudden if I asked him to let go of the horse.

“I appreciate your honesty, but you'd better not just watch and learn. Isn't that why Lord Soo-hyun didn't worship? ”

“Hahaha. You're right. I still have a chance to get help from Sir Chris. I'm just worried you'll be bothered. ”

“You're doing great. ”

Chris interrupts. Calmond nods, relieved.

I had already asked Chris to transfer the troops to key personnel. He asked you to teach him various knowledge required to operate the Merchant Guild and Mercenaries as well as the Soldiers.

Chris happily said yes.

I don't know if it's the ties of fate or a company worth investing in, but apparently Calmond is teaching me enthusiastically.

I told you.

“A good chef is preparing dinner, so eat while you're here. Calmond, come with us. ”

“Thank you for inviting me. ”

“But is there a chef here? ”

Chris, who also has a keen sense of taste, will be taken away.

“That's what I'm saying. I told you to put up the traditional Tordanese food. Isn't it delicious? Since there's one tricky Baron, he's risking his life right now. ”

“Is that really me? ”

“Why do you need an explanation? ”

I've moved on to getting to the point. Although not even a couch, three chairs were seated with cushions.

“There's something I want to do at the Tor 'Dang. There are three big ones. I need your opinion. ”

“Let's hear it. ”

“The first is the education business. This is a little bit more experimental than business. ”

“To set up an academy? I wouldn't recommend it much. ”

That's Chris. He seems to have figured out my plan.

“I know. What are you doing setting up an academy in this small-town village? I just think of it as a small school where you can teach people about writing and the world's objects. You can teach martial arts by putting a pen on it. If there are any conspicuous children, we can take them straight to Mathis. ”

“Hmm...... So you'll build an academy somewhere else later with that knowledge? ”

“I intend to. By then, we won't be able to afford it. We're gonna need a lot of talent. The people we raised will be a lot more helpful than the people we bring in from the outside. ”

Chris nods to make sure he's fully understood. Establishing an academy to build a workforce I can trust is a reasonable investment.

“Are the establishment and maintenance costs invested in Mathis? ”

“Since Mathis Academy, I'll have to invest in Mathis. You can persuade the other lords to put the Academy on a spectacular territory, but a lot of people will just try to put up spoons for nothing. ”

Chris tucked his chin into the closet. Even a plan that looks good needs to be approached carefully.

“Depending on the size of the Academy, you may need to be established at the top. The Lord of Adeline will have no problem, but what if he has to go to the Royal Kingdom? ”

“What makes it so hard for you? You can take a bunch of money and go. ”

“…… do you think money solves everything? ”

“Isn't that right? ”

I smiled and looked at Chris. It was the same with the eyes of anyone who could buy anything with money.

He clears his throat and avoids gazing if Chris knew what it meant.

“Very well. We'll have to find out over there. You'll need Experience Advice to get the first button right. And the second?”

“This is the mining industry I told you about before. And we're going to drive forestry there. ”

“What's wrong with forestry, even with mining? ”

“We're going to need a lot of trees later. To do that, we need to start by figuring out how lumbering works, improving lumbering tools and methods to make them more productive. ”

“I don't know what you're up to. I don't think they're going to sell firewood because it's winter soon. ”

I smiled. A tree is inevitably needed to produce quality paper. That's why it's a good idea to do the work underneath.

Chris turns his head to the next.

“And the third? ”

“Tourism.”

“Tourism...... is quite a surprise. Isn't tourism an adventure after all? ”

In this world, it can only mean the same thing. There is no such thing as a package trip, so just packing up and leaving is a tour.

However, there are many monsters and dangers in this world. That's why we can't travel in peace.

“So we're going to have to step up and fix the hard stuff. I'll show you the way. I'll beat up the monsters. I saw it on the way here, but the Tordanese area is worth a try. They call it Heaven's Nature, but they don't have much color. ”

There's no concept of disposables there, so it should be easy to manage.

If there are many mountains and trees, there is inevitably a lot of water. It would be helpful if you could use the valley or lake to make it a resort.

I used to know how to have fun in places like that.

“I'm going to make a theme dungeon. It's a comprehensive retreat where people can enjoy themselves for a fee. ”

“Isn't this a big dream? ”

“There is a saying that there is no future for those who do not dream, my friend. ”

Chris expressed a negative opinion across his head.

“The education business alone will be enormous to me. Tordand is not very accessible. ”

“That's why I'm going to build a branch of Mathis here. I can't do this alone, so I'm gonna have to change my staff. ”

Suddenly, I was talking too unilaterally. By possession of Suhyun.

“Calmond. Don't get me wrong, I didn't decide this by myself, I've already finished talking to Soo-hyung. ”

“Yes? Oh, yes. ”

Calmond wakes up from his dazed talk. Chris sighed and said Nausea.

“It's ridiculous that you haven't taken care of your territory after such a grand plan. I was so anxious to have a bonnet. ”

“I can't do everything on my own. I'm just gonna draw a big picture. We'll take care of the rest. ”

“The world is at ease. So what's the verdict? ”

“I would like to appoint Miss Eluna to be my Station Head and raise her. ”

Chris greets you sharply.

“What about Turret's production base? ”

“I'll leave that to Calmond. It's a noisy place. You're gonna need a lot of muscle. ”

“Then I'll take care of Soo-hyung and you. Is it going to be like this?”

“That's right."

“Sounds like a plan. Obviously we're shorthanded after all these games. We need to get some decent people in here fast. ”

“Don't worry about it. It's a matter of time. ”

Then you hear a knock outside. We paused.

“Come in.”

The door opens carefully, and the bear-boy Wolf comes inside wearing an apron.

“Stir, my lord. You said you were done cooking. ”

“Yeah? You guys hungry? Let's go taste Senior Chef's cooking in the Territory. ”

I headed to the restaurant with the famous baron and the commoner who eats anything with difficulty.
