Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 388: Work is in numbers.

The named plan that I was able to do so looked like considerable improvement had been made.

But Sarah was somewhat uncomfortable with that.

I can't say where, but I don't think something's the same as what Kenji was doing.

"It's different somehow..."

That didn't seem to be Sarah's only mistake, as did Scion, who had seen Kenji build the plan.

"That's right. Something's different."

Endorsed. Powered by that opinion, Sarah put her finger on her temple and tried so hard to recall Kenji's behavior at that time.

"Uh, I don't know what it was... but it's like saying something when you vertical the board..."

"Right there. I was certainly wondering there. Making the board vertical does make the plan shorter, but what's the point of that? What kind of work did you do then?

"Uh, you hired a lot of adventurers anyway when you were in shoes. So, I finished in about 3 days..."

When Sarah was troubled with Rodolph, Paperino suddenly had a full smile with her eyes shining.

"Ha. I see! No, indeed, that's amazing!"

"You got it?

"Yeah. That means thinking about effort in counting! I understand."

"Counting...? What's this all about?

"I mean, a job that takes 10 days for three of us would be done in three days if we did it for 10 of us, right? I mean, the amount of work is the breadth of the board,! No, this is amazing!

The rest of the officials gather around the excited paperino.

Paperino lowered the arm he was shaking up, coughing lightly with Cohon before starting to explain.

"Oh, excuse me. Finally, I know what the deputy was doing. You think about how hard it is to work when we write a job out of the board. I think the deputy was trying to represent that in numbers. And on top of that, I thought we should step in and improve on whether it's a job that takes ten days alone, five days for two people, how we plan to do it the shortest, and whether we should improve the plan with that in mind."

"Wouldn't that be nice if the ten of us did it in one day? I want to keep it short."

Paperino answers the question, Luc answers.

I'm only from a merchant on a boulder, and I'm quick to think of things in numbers.

"Right. Maybe that's fine if you just think about the period. However, in relation to other jobs at that time, it is possible that you will not be able to secure all that manpower, and you will have the hassle of teaching a new job, right? If you want to hire someone elsewhere, you may also need to arrange wages, accommodation, and meals. So I think it's hard to keep all the jobs short."

"I see."

Rodolph understands, imagining his parents' territory. How troublesome things can be when you put the rest of us in the territory.

That's about it, you should just do it from the realm.

Sarah adds her opinion there.

"That's right, Kenji, he said something about shortening the longest place, or something! This way, make the whole plan a single line, so that the whole thing is shorter, or..."

That's what they say, everyone sees a plate cut arranged on one side of the floor.

The work is diverse, where it begins and where it ends.

Which is the longest line. In my current state, I don't completely understand.

"Short...? With all this work, I have no idea which one to shorten."

and Rodolph is blurry.

"Right. In the meantime, why don't you write a number on all the board cuts? I'm going to write down how many numbers one person can do in one day, using a job as one. If you add all that up, don't you think the amount of work this whole plan can do in numbers?

"Hey, you, I thought you were just saying hard things, but you're smart!

I say to Paperino that Sarah can take both a compliment and a condemnation of her previous attitude.

Paperino smiles bitterly at Sarah, while he puts his doubts into his mouth.

"No, there's a clear right answer here, so I can manage to understand it, too. But assuming that the deputy devised this, it is also understandable that Priest Nicolo will pay attention. Really, who is the deputy...?

But Sarah answers Paperino with a strained chest.

"Kenji, it's Kenji! That's all right!

"Ha... shall I put the numbers in anyway"

Poisoned Paperino and the newcomers began the task of putting numbers in one job at a time, one job at a time, out of board.
