Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World – the Apostle of the Gods Who Know No Self-Restraint
Twenty-sixth Episode: Drintor's Welcome Party 5
Cain was knocked when he slept slowly in a luxurious special room. The day was already up and people were starting to move outside.
"Good morning!"
After knocking, Enak rushed into the room. Cain woke up from the bed, still lying asleep.
"Good morning Enak ..."
Cain crawls out of bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"I'm already having breakfast so come down!"
Enak said that and went out of the room.
"Enak is fine from morning."
Cain muttered and changed clothes. I had to go to the lord house today, so I changed into plain clothes. Himika seemed to be well when he got down to the dining room below and was already working.
"Good morning. Are you alright?"
When Cain called out, he stopped working and returned with a full smile.
"Thank you very much." "Thank you very much." "That's good. I'll do a recovery spell if there's anything else." "I can't afford it.
Himika guides me to sit at the counter where I ate dinner. Immediately served breakfast. The menu is bacon and scrambled eggs, then soup and bread. I was soon hung up because I was hungry.
"It's a feast. I'll return to the royal capital once I've done what I do today, so I'll come back soon."
Cain told Himika after finishing her meal.
"I see ... I feel like I've missed Enak and I'm lonely."
A dash came out of the kitchen.
"Thank you, Cain, and when you come to the city of Dorintl, please stop by just eating."
"Of course. The food was delicious and I'll be there again."
And Enak is looking into the corner of the kitchen. He had a slightly crying face.
"Enaku-chan, come here."
Cain beckons Enak with a gentle voice.
"Oni-chan, please come again! When you come to this city, it's a must!"
Enak hugged Cain. Cain strokes Enak's head.
"Of course. Whenever I come to this city, I always come to eat. I'll help my mom properly."
"Yeah! I'll help you properly."
Cain left the inn while being seen off by the three. Then, I headed for the lord house for a meeting in the future. At the gate of the lord's house, there was a guard who was there yesterday, and he was immediately taken to the office.
"Good morning, Cain."
Ellieb, the deputy, greeted me.
"I still have time, do you want to change to aristocratic clothes?"
"That's right, first, I'll dress it up."
Cain enters the office and takes out noble clothes from the item box and changes clothes. Check yourself in the mirror. Sitting in the office chair, aware of the innocence of being ten years old.
"How do you change this town? Guilds are useless, churches are outrageous, there are slums, and the problems are piled up ... just piled that stone in front of it The outer wall of the building will be a hindrance to the future development. I have to return to the royal capital today and come back next week ...
Cain had read through the city's income and expenditure documents given by Elive. It was clear that the government was subsidizing the operation of the deficit to the utmost. Cain was a high school student in his previous life, and his numbers were stronger than those in the world. As I read through the Japanese, I came up with a number of questions, and summarized them in a bulleted list. Of course, I wrote it so that others would not know.
On the way, lunch was prepared, and Elive and I talked about the work.
"This city has a lot of adventurers, so it is difficult to collect tax revenues. We operate only with sales tax from hotels and shops, but with church subsidies, adventurer guilds, etc. I will definitely be in the red. ''
In response to Elive's explanation, Cain asks a question while looking at the bulleted documents.
"First of all, about the church, when I asked the folks, they seemed to be paying too much more than the royal capital, but it was too expensive to give it. Call a new priest from the royal city? "
"Oh, that's ... oh, there aren't many people who receive recovery magic in the church, so it's going to be expensive ..."
Elive explains that she is a little upset while sweating on her forehead.
"That's why it's different. You don't come because it's expensive. If you make it cheaper, you should have more people and more donations. I guess I'm also checking the balance of this, but what's going on? Of course it's addressed to this lord. "
Cain continues to ask questions, thinking about the generals of the past.
"No, no, no ... I've never been paid by the church ..."
Elive answers the questions, turning her face paler.
"Will you come again next week, will you let me out by that time? If you can't, please cut off the subsidy."
Cain goes further.
"... Yes ... I will tell the church about that ..."
"After that, as in slums, if you recruit jobs, the number of slums will decrease. I think it's useless because it's an industry that only relies on adventurers until now. I'm planning on expanding the outer wall because I can't afford it inside, so I'm thinking about it. is"
"... Cain is knowledgeable ... I don't think she's ten years old ..."
Elive responds to Cain's question, wiping her forehead sweat, behaving suspiciously.
"Well, today is the guild first. Will it come some more?"
"Yes, the guildmaster Rixets and the subguildmaster Betty will come."
Cain learned for the first time that Betty was a subguild master. That Gilmouth was brainy, but as I heard from the guy at that skewer, I thought he was doing a lot and put it in his belly.
After eating, Elive left once and told the adventurer's guild, Gilmas and Submas, that they would be called when they came.
Cain lists what he wants to look for and puts it in the item box.
A little over the afternoon, one of the civilians came to call.
"Cain, the guildmaster Liquisetsu and the subguildmaster Betty are now visible. Elive is now available."
"Okay, let's go now. Is it reception?"
"Yes, we are waiting in the reception room now."
Cain recalled that she was a guild yesterday and left the office looking forward to what she would look like.
Elive is talking to two people from the guild earlier in the drawing room. And a loud voice of Rixets can be heard outside the door.
"So yesterday the guild's training ground was destroyed, including the auditorium. So I'm busy and a new lord has come and I can't see my face! There's no time to do that!"
Cain realized that he did what he did yesterday. The secretary entered the room after the knock.
"Visit Cain came."
The two representatives of the Adventurer's Guild are not polite, but sit on the sofa. Cain enters there.
The moment they saw Cain's face, their faces were frozen. Yesterday, there was an opponent in front of you, who broke the training ground and incontinent and stunned adventurers and submass.
Cain sits on the facing sofa.
"Hello, I'm Cain von Silford Drintl, the lord of the city. Thank you."
Cain greeted normally. Rixets and Betty were solidified with their mouths open.
