Think about how to kick off rivals
Leon's collation of the maid's information revealed that there were more subordinate nobles than Viscount Ustein who were planning to replace Elwin with the House of the Winheels.
In addition, the worst situation is that the Axmia family of the same lord is supporting this.
I can't say that it doesn't matter what the other family says. The Three Houes support the kingdom. It is the kingdom's power that the royal family and the three princes have together.
When it comes to succession, it is not unusual for the royal family's intentions to influence, rather than just the matter of one's own.
And the opinions of other princes influence the judgment of the royal family.
If the Axmia family had a problem with the successor to the Winheels, the king could not ignore it. It's really going to be checked, and if it's really undesirable, we'll pass it on to the Winheels.
Despite his doting, Leon is wondering how Marquis Winheel can ignore the intentions of the royal family. It was Marquis Winheel who instilled Vincent with the idea of taking care of the Kingdom as a Marquis.
In the current situation, it can be said that the groundwork for replacing Elwin with Vincent has already been completed.
This isn't enough to boost Vincent's reputation at the school. He was even in a situation where he had to somehow prevent the enemy offensive.
It wasn't going to be a problem, but he wasn't going to give up without doing anything. Vincent is a benefactor for Rion. And Leon was one of the few people who really thought Vincent was worthy of the lord.
Rion is still worried about how to resolve the situation, but no matter how much he thinks, there is no wonder.
So I asked the surroundings for hints.
"Ain. Are you not aiming for the boss?"
"Well, no, it doesn't matter. I should aim for the position of a general."
If such a thing is told by the person, the person who is said to be decided to be upset. Ein also feels danger to herself and is impatient.
"Oh, that's not it."
"... So what?"
"There is a guy who is aiming for the boss, who has a higher reputation than the boss. In such a situation, what should the boss do?"
"I will kill you. The dead cannot be the boss."
"that's true"
Rion wasn't convinced of killing, he just thought he would get the answer. It is wrong to ask the villain villain.
It's not just a wrong answer. Dead humans are certainly not successors.
The reason I can't jump on this idea is because Lion has the head to think about the consequences of doing so. If a competitor who is rapidly threatening their position is to be killed, then naturally Vincent is suspected. The reputation around may fall to nothing more.
If the King or other Marquis is suspicious, his succession is just waiting. The influence of the Winheal family will be greatly impaired.
That is not what Leon wants.
"What if you don't kill me?"
"I threaten you"
Ein's answer is that he never leaves crime.
"... If you don't hear what you say? か な い You don't?" He's trying to be the boss.
"Yes ... I'm threatening enough to give up my boss."
"... If there isn't?"
"No, every human should have this much."
"If not as a tentative story?"
"It's a troublesome opponent ... I'll make it if I don't have it. If I'm a man, I'm going to get trapped in a woman's relationship or go into a gambling and let me borrow."
Ein's answer was an outrageous idea. Still not wrong. They want to kick people off. It's not just beautiful.
"Thank you. It was helpful."
"No, so that ..."
"what?"
"It looks like we're ready."
"Oh, I see. Then put it in the room."
"Yes"
With the permission of Leon, Ain calls in those waiting outside the room. Entered were women and prostitutes in colorful dresses.
That is why Rion is coming to favela today. Aeriel was no longer wearing it and brought the dress he had just thrown away to the favela.
I wanted to put it on a prostitute and try to get a sense of quality just by the atmosphere.
All dresses were fairly expensive because they belonged to the daughter of the Marquis, Eriel. Obviously prostitutes are losing their costumes.
"... a little?"
"That's right. I understand."
"Well, can you use it?"
"No ... if I do that a little more"
"What is that?"
"Because I'll take it off anyway, don't stop smashing. What makes you wear only the top transparent fabric?"
Ein's proposal appears in Rion's head as an image. A woman wearing a transparent dress on her bare skin.
"... isn't that disgusting?"
"Because I'm a prostitute, it's okay to be nasty."
"That's it. Who can dress it?"
"I'll do it."
"That's right, it's good that you can make many with one dress."
"Yes, so this is my costume."
"Oh"
We told the end of the dress announcement and ordered the prostitutes to go down, but the prostitutes did not leave the room.
The purpose is obvious at a glance. Everyone is making a appeal to Rion, making a chord. It is a place where bosses like it and have good thoughts.
It will not succeed. They don't know, but Rion is a disgusting nature of women's explicit invitations.
Without turning his eyes, Rion frowned, and the prostitutes seemed to have noticed, and went out of the room with a regret.
When the prostitutes disappeared, Rion breathed lightly, relieved. That's why the attitude of the whores was a burden on Rion.
"Check how long it takes to process the dress."
"Yes"
"The building was cleaner than I expected. Try to keep that. Keep the towels you wash often and keep them clean."
Towels were also brought from the Winheel House. It is already garbage at Hou's house, but when you bring it to favela, it becomes a good towel.
"Yes. I've secured the role."
"It's early"
"That's right. Everybody raises their hand if they ask you to clean and wash and get paid."
"So, could you pick a good person?"
"Well. I chose a rare and serious person in the favela."
"That's fine. Later, what about the kettle?"
"It's almost time, but ... no ..."
"What is it? If you have any concerns, say it."
"... isn't it extravagant? て Using hot water for anything"
It's really luxury. Wash your body with hot water. Anyone who has done this, apart from the aristocracy, should not be in favela. It is the same for the main street residents.
However, Rion believes that this luxury is the service. And there are other purposes for the kettle.
"It would not be a luxury if we could secure places and people to boil hot water.
"Oh dear"
"The amount of garbage is reduced, and the water is disinfected. It should be all good except for the hassle.
The environment of the favela is the worst for Rion, who has memories of another world. I don't think it's a place where people live. This is what I wanted to do with it. The water heater is also a garbage incineration plant.
"Yes. I dig a hole in the soil, and dig a hole, and surround it with stones. Is it possible for fire to leak out?"
"Yes, it's a tedious job, but I'll try to keep it going."
"It's no problem"
"Is that so?"
"If you get the money, you will have no trouble."
"... I don't have a job"
If you can get money from hard work, nothing is better. After all, there is no danger of being caught by a police officer and no danger of life.
For residents of the favela, Rion's job is always a good job.
"After that, is it customer service?
"Is it pretty good?"
"What do the people you teach say?"
"Everyone doesn't have to pass. Many prostitutes hate it if it's troublesome."
"... Is it a matter of motivation? I can't wait for everyone to pass. Let's make a difference between allowances for successful and unsuccessful people.
"Position?"
"Would you like to rank them by popularity based on the number of nominations and display them at reception?
I wonder if there is no photo, if there is a picture, I thought about the part that was Ryo in my heart. It is the knowledge of Ryo who was a minor. Everything was terrible, but for the people of the favela, they were all new ideas.
"So what?"
"Allow customers to choose. Of course, there is an extra charge for choosing."
"……I'll think about it"
The idea is good. But there is the problem of how to get an unpopular prostitute to attract customers. Such fine-tuning is the work of Ein and others.
"When we're ready, we're ready to go. At the same time we renew, we have word-of-mouth staff."
"Yes. Just before that."
"something?"
"It's better to manage the quality of the whore a little more. Even if it takes time and spread a good reputation, if the customer says that he is a lie, then ..."
"Isn't that happening?"
"No, it's not a discipline but a look."
"... Is it still useless?"
It was Rion who was not good at judging human beauty. If you ask Ryo, you know, but he won't do it. Because he hates judging the appearance.
"Everything compared to my boss ..."
Immediately, Rion's gaze turns cold. I hate to be told this.
"Excuse me"
"... What do you do?"
"I have to think about buying a new woman, and some of them as well."
"……scout?"
"Yes? What is that ska something?"
"Find a beautiful woman and ask her if she wants to be a prostitute ..."
"Oh dear"
"Then you can't pull it out of another store ... it's no use. It's not time to mess with it."
"Yes"
"So what do you do?"
"If you allow me to spend money, I will buy it normally."
"Oh, yes. Can you buy it? By the way, how?"
"Would you buy it from a house that is in need of money, or buy one already enslaved?"
"... I see. It looks expensive."
Forcing Ryo's morality to the bottom of his heart, Rion continues the conversation.
"As such. Well, depending on the quality. Is it good there at first?"
"Is that so?"
"Customers don't expect that from a shanty town whore. That's the only reason it's cheap."
"So, if it's OK, will the evaluation go up because I didn't expect it?"
"Yes"
"I see. I'll allow you."
Forgetting what the original purpose was, Rion was seriously working on boss employment in the favela.
◇◇◇
The main reason why Leon seized control of the favela was to not bother Vincent for himself. If you know that you are a Marquis and also serve a legitimate child, someone will come in to try to drink delicious juice.
The fact that Rion, a full-time servant, was an orphan in a former favela, could also ruin Vincent's reputation. It was to prevent such various risks.
But if that's all, show off your power and hold it down. Leon is working on expanding his influence for another reason.
Build public opinion. The reason is to use the residents of the favela.
This is a far-reaching plan. Still, if there is a possibility, Rion has to do it.
He knows what he can do. Contradiction to what he was doing, his thoughts on Rion had to do with any difficult plan if there was little possibility.
And Leon is also taking one action. Seeking clues to break through the situation.
The Royal Mansion of the Marquis of Winheels has a vast site.
It is a fairly large building for the family of the Marquis, but there are also a number of buildings on the premises, such as the Knights of the Marquis and the residence for many servants and their families. .
Even so, the forest is exaggerated, but the size is large enough to give you the illusion of a large garden full of trees.
Rion is slowly moving through the garden. Surrounded by tall trees, it doesn't seem like a royal city.
The path that runs through the garden is well-maintained, and it tells us that this is not a natural forest, but now Rion is walking far away from the path.
The place, which is accessible only a few times a year, has a natural height, with grass growing to a reasonable height.
The purpose of Rion cannot be a natural walk. The purpose is to check the building ahead.
Eventually, the target building can be seen from between the trees. It was a much larger building than Rion thought.
I thought I would go to the break in the garden, check the appearance, and then go back.
"Who!?"
Suddenly nobody's voice comes out. It seems that some people were hiding behind trees and could not see them.
"I'm sorry to surprise you. I've never been around here."
Answer it with words prepared in advance. I made a conscious and calm appearance and stepped forward.
So I saw a woman hiding behind a tree. She put out a table in the garden and seemed to be drinking tea gracefully.
Although he doesn't show up in his face, he deeply reflects on his own mistakes that he didn't notice.
"……Who are you?"
The tone of the woman has changed a little.
"My name is Rion, my servant."
"……Why are you here?"
"That's just a walk."
"walk?"
"I have time, so I decided to take a walk in a place I've never been before."
"... So from this place?"
"... Ah, yes, of course, suspicious. Naturally, I avoided the road, as I was wandering around and thought that others could see it with white eyes. Other people are at work."
It is acting like that, but this is also a line I prepared.
"Yes. What's your name?"
"I'm Lion"
"What is your job?"
"I am a follower of Vincent."
"Well, that's right. That's ... it's hard, how can I get angry?"
The woman showed her innocent laugh with her head tilted a little. Even though she is much older than Rion and has a well-defined face, she feels lovable when she does this kind of gesture. If it is an ordinary person.
"No. Every job is hard work."
"You're serious. Do you know me?"
"Sorry, I don't know."
"Don't be afraid"
"But it's not a servant."
"Why do you think so?"
"No servant enjoys tea in the garden during the day."
"... Yeah, but Rion is a servant, but he's strolling around during the day."
"……I agree"
A woman's attitude that makes her feel really familiar. This is the first time Rion has been treated in this manner.
"Sit next door. I'll prepare tea."
"No, it's fine."
"I want you to talk a little bit. I'm boring alone ..."
This time, she tends to look down and look lonely. A woman is wearing a fleeting atmosphere, which is the opposite of loveliness.
"I can talk while standing"
"That's hard for me to talk to.
"……Understood"
"That too. Can you speak a little softer?"
"……I understand"
"Drink if you like. If you're walking, you're thirsty, right?"
Saying so, the woman gives out the cup she was drinking. As far as Leon knows, it's pretty insane.
"It's okay"
"It's what I put on my mouth? I can make tea."
"No, it's fine."
"Now, this is an order. Go for my tea."
"... I can roast if it is absolutely necessary."
"Can you roast?"
"Because I am a servant."
"... Is it your job as a squire?"
Normal servants do not. Because Vincent couldn't get the maid closer, Rion had to do it.
"I just have to prepare hot water and tea utensils. Is it OK to enter the mansion?"
"... That's right, so I'm telling a maid."
"Are you not there?"
"I want to spend this time alone without disturbing anyone."
"It was rude."
"It's good, because it's rare to be able to talk to someone at the home."
Also, the woman wore a lonely atmosphere.
The atmosphere changes depending on your mood. I am puzzled by the change and am attracted to the atmosphere that I show. If it is an ordinary person.
"Have you ever met Erwin?"
"No."
"so……"
"Calling Erwin like that means maybe you are Elwin's mother?"
Asked what, Rion knew who she was from the start. Marquis concubine Julia. I came here to see her.
"Yes, that's right."
"It's rude"
Rion stood quickly while saying so. Looking at it with a lonely expression, Julia opens her mouth.
"Can't we talk to the concubine?"
"No. I stood at the same table because I thought it would be rude."
"... I'm really serious."
"It is a matter of course as a servant to the lords."
"I wish someone like you would be Elwyn's servant. He seems to be a good year to talk to because he seems to be close."
"It would not be possible"
"Do you hate Elwin's followers?"
"No matter what I think, people don't allow it."
"... are you trusted?"
While a little vacant. Rion considers the meaning in between. On the surface while continuing the conversation normally.
"No, I don't think that around Elwin-sama would be more forgiving."
"so……"
"Erwin must have an experienced and excellent servant who cannot be compared to me."
For now, this is a dislike of Wal, but it is not transmitted to Yulia.
"Wol may be excellent ..."
"Any problem?"
"... I'm not talking to Rion. This is my problem."
This time, he made meaningful remarks. It is a place where you are worried about what is normal.
"I see. I'll forget."
"forget?"
"Extra information creates prejudice, which I think is not good."
"... Yeah"
Rion ends the story without any signs of concern.
"Then I'll be back soon."
"Yes ... hey?"
"Yes. What?"
"Even if the servant is impossible, why don't you come here sometimes?"
"I can't make a promise. I'm going to Kingdom Academy with Vincent now. I can only stay in the mansion on vacation."
"That's right, so it's okay only on that vacation, I've been here all the time, so I want to know a lot about home and outside."
"... if I have time like today"
Thinking a little, pretending, Rion answered.
"I'm too serious. I want you to be Elwyn's follower. I want you to get along well if you can't. Elwin is also a school next year, so help me out."
"I see. I don't think I can help, but I can."
"That's fine, please."
Julia stood up and approached Lion, suddenly holding her hand and telling her with a serious face. Yulia's blue eyes stare at Rion.
"To the extent possible"
Leon did not respond to this action.
"... yeah"
And again, there is time. Leon observes each and every reaction of Yulia. I had the opportunity to speak, albeit unexpectedly. We cannot help taking advantage of this opportunity.
"Now I'm sorry."
"my name is"
"I know"
"Yes. I don't ask."
"No, it's rude to ask your name indiscriminately."
"Is that so?"
"I remember that there was such a description in the servant's knowledge."
"Yeah ... maybe you call your name?"
"Isn't suddenly calling your name a bad feeling?"
"Yes, but I'm fine with Lion."
"... I see. Then Julia, I'm sorry."
"Yes.
Without replying, Rion returns to the path she was facing back.
The look he has just repaired has been erased, and his face has turned into a fearless look, as if he were in a slum.
Rion was acting, as was Julia. Shortly after meeting, Leon knew it.
Rion now has a black eyepatch. How can you immediately understand that such a suspicious person is a servant? It is decided from the beginning because he knew about Leon. Nevertheless, he pretended to be unknown and was talking to him.
Why do we do that? As we continue the conversation, we also understand. The reason is to get Rion into a basket and bring it to Elwin's ally.
Julia understands her charm. I understand and use it.
Rion never overlooked the intricacies of emotions that seemed to despise and despise the opponent floating in his eyes. That's because Leon has seen it over and over.
The remaining sympathy for Julia in Rion has disappeared. Yulia wanted to find out that she was in her current position and was working to achieve more ambition.
Yulia is the enemy. In Rion, so decided. If so, it will be necessary to look for Yulia's weaknesses. Rion thinks that is not going to be difficult either.
Julia is trying to take advantage of others. There must be evil there. Leon knows that. Because Rion is doing the same.
