A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 497: Lack of Human Resources Part 2

The day after arriving in King's Landing. On Natalia's proposal, Reurus and the others moved into the area lined with large stores in the King's City.

The purpose is to buy maids' clothes and butlers' clothes, but unlike the last time I visited King's City, this time I plan to buy something that is already available, not bespoke.

Of course, I buy something that suits each person's body shape, but it's still brand new, so it's expensive enough to require small coins.

The quality of clothing should be so clean that the servant is not more conspicuous than his master, but it should be so clean that it is not difficult to see. “The line” was around one small gold coin, a fine category for Natalia, a baron who had just become independent if he was a great nobleman.

Natalia started teaching Sharon as Baron Amondola developed, but she thought it was still too early to actually need maids and butlers.

There are no mansions for maids and butlers to work in the first place, and it is basically enough to have Natalia as far as administration is concerned. Even if it was necessary, it would have been better to leave it to Bartolo, who had been president of the Adventurers' Union for many years, with low priority given to the training of maids and butlers.

It came here, and with Reus' narration the problem surfaced due to the need to stay in King's City. Even Natalia's was an unexpected event when it came to the narrative of Reurus, and it was painful that the maids and butlers had not been secured.

In the first place, it takes time and labor to train maids and butlers. It is desirable to have not only common sense as a courtesy but also various knowledge and education as an obedience to the master. If possible, it would be a lot of trouble to bring “fighting magic” there, but it would be too much hope to get there.

(But I've never seen you make such a clear mistake....)

As he approached the garment shop by carriage, Reurus thought as he watched Natalia riding in the carriage in the same way. Because of yesterday's noise, we can't just walk out the front door. However, Eliza and the others are walking outside the carriage, so those who notice will soon notice.

Natalia noticed such a realuse's gaze and sighed as if she had read the thought.

"Did you say something, Reurus?

"No... I just thought you might be doing something like this."

Natalia from Reurus is a masterpiece without shame in her position.

He used to lead an army in King's Landing, and if he could command it, he would be very strong alone. I had no choice but to take off my hat as a realuse after all the high specs that I had to say to politicians that there was a ploy and a ploy.

"I dare not ask what you think of me, but I am also a human being? I'll make a mistake."

"Of course, but...."

"Even if I had to, Sharon was all I had. When Sharon became somewhat“ seeable ”, I thought the butler would be next...."

Natalia was originally a quasi-bar and quasi-aristocratic lineage, but there were no maids or butlers because she was the administrator of the abandoned town of Laval. As long as they owned villages and small towns as lords, they did not need maids or butlers in office.

For this reason, Sharon's guidance is only roughly complete, and he hasn't even been able to get to the butler. I had enough time to rent a butler from another house and wonder if a young man in the abandoned city of Laval should behave as a butler.

However, the development of Baron Amondola's territory was proceeding at an unprecedented pace, so he was busy turning materials around and interacting with neighboring aristocracy and merchants to attract assistance.

"There are a lot of people living in the abandoned city of Laval, and some of them have potential.

"I have a lot of learning, I can learn etiquette, I have a personality that is suitable for serving others... I think it would be better to be as young as possible from now on. Do you think there are people who meet those conditions early?

"... you're not here?

"If you're willing to learn, you can relax the conditions a little bit. Judging by those conditions, you're a good butler, too... but you can't be a butler to be a quasi-bar, and you can't be too wary to choose. What will happen to the education of the children of Speranza when it takes shape....."

Natalia put her elbows on the edge of the carriage and sighed deeply. I'm happy to be independent, but the problem is piled up when we run our territory in different forms.

"Um... can't you hire maids and butlers from elsewhere?

Corona, riding in a carriage, asks modestly. Bringing him from somewhere else, if he's not here, would be the truth in a sense.

"Whether you can trust me or not is huge. Even though I hired you, it's not funny what happens... Corona, I'm trying to get you to behave like a maid just in form, but are you willing to learn to do it?

"Huh? Am I...?

"The cook and maid... in the current state of low manpower, there is enough“. You have a good memory, you're good at serving customers, you have a good personality, and above all, you can be trustworthy... oh, you might surprisingly be a natural. "

Are you really in a hurry, Sebastian?

To Natalia, who begins to recommend Corona to become a maid of honor, Reurus worried half as much as he worried. Then Natalia becomes a real face.

"I see something... missing for Baron Amondola's family. I'm in a hurry. Besides Corona, I think it's Eliza who changed her tone... and then maybe Meer? But I can't let them get away from you, can I?

"If Eliza and Meer want it..." I'm just saying, "I have a contract." In a situation like this, it is difficult to separate the town of Laval from the town of Speranza...?

"Isn't it? In the meantime, I bought Corona and Eliza's maid's clothes this time, and then... here we are."

That said, Natalia ended the conversation.

There are various shops in King's Landing, but Reurus and the others stepped into it for the nobles - to be precise, a large shop specializing in the goods used in the nobles' mansions.

We deal with clothing, accessories, and condiments, but we have a range of “as good” quality and price items as Natalia wanted. In the first place, there is no need to come to the big shop because there is a merchant in the case of the big aristocracy. Among the aristocracy, the small ones are targeted and the products are arranged.

It was about an hour after shopping at such a store. Reurus himself was very generous because he didn't have anything to buy, but he was called by Natalia and moved to the corner where many clothes were arranged.

Natalia took Eliza and Corona and talked to the clerk about something, and Reurus watched the rest of Sarah not to “play games” on the store's merchandise.

"What do you think...?

"Well, what do you say?

--There was Corona and Eliza in maid clothes.

What Corona and Eliza are wearing is a maid's dress in black. It seemed to be using a fine cotton cloth, like the one worn by Anemone, the maid Reurus had seen before.

Long skirt with buttoned cuffs and ankles. They are wearing leather shoes and have white brim on their heads to prevent hair disturbance.

…………

Reurus, who saw the two maids dressed up, suddenly silenced. The other day when Corona showed off her personal clothes, but seeing her dressed differently makes her feel strangely emotional.

Regardless of what to say, as Reurus twirled his thoughts, Natalia, who stood behind Corona and Eliza, moved her hands silently and sent some gesture to hurry.

"... you two look great together. It's cute and beautiful."

Not because Natalia rushed him, but Reurus praised Corona and Eliza in a straight ball. It was only true, and it was true without lies or lies.

"I see...."

"Hahaha... why does it shine...?... yeah, it shines."

Corona and Eliza lay their gaze down and dyed their cheeks into the dust so as not to fill them up. Reurus scratched her cheeks in trouble at the reaction, and Sarah next to her raised her right hand at a speed that made a sound.

"Yes, yes! If Reurus is happy, I'll wear this too!

"... I'll wear Neddy, too.

"Eh? Look, if everybody wears it, I'll wear it too...?

"Stop wearing maid clothes because it sounds like a hobby..."

Neddy and Meer talked about getting caught by Sarah and trying on a maid's clothes, but Reurus takes it seriously. If rumors spread that the Spirit Man likes maids' clothes, he would be unable to approach the King's Capital for life.

Corona and Eliza's maid's outfit was a blessing, but it was also a realuse that looked like a double-edged sword.

"Hey Mister, why do you have to dress me up like this..."

Nicolas's heartfelt voice reaches her ears. And then I looked at Nicolas in the butler's clothes.

Like Corona and Eliza's maid's clothes, this dish is based on black. Whether it was by Natalia's hand or by the clerk, Nicolas had red hair all back and looked strangely good on the butler's clothes.

"Reurus is going to be a Baron. You can't dress up as a butler and make him look like a butler, right?

"That's right... you look good as usual. I mean, if you needed a butler, you should have brought a young man with you..."

"It's the king's capital, and I have to dress up."

"You didn't listen to me, and I didn't tell you to dress up..."

Nicolas murmured and dropped her shoulders, but Natalia smiled when she heard it.

"In the meantime, I'll buy three each and go home. Then, when you get back home, you can practice your technique with a baked blade."

"... are you serious, mister..."

Corona and Eliza seemed unsatisfactory, but Nicolas, who had heard Natalia's words, was so depressed that she could barely reach her knees on the spot.
