Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 737: Let's lay a beautiful road. And then the church.

Pave the way with the help of the Church. Then the road becomes wide and clean.

"Ha..."

"Uh... yes"

"Is that what the shoe factory" We "do?

It is expected that, if road works are started, there will also be various impacts on the work of the workshop.

So when I gathered the people who were the owners of the shoe factory to explain the road maintenance plan, it was indifference and perplexity that came back from the craftsmen.

"When the road gets too good, won't you be able to sell shoes from our shoe factory"

Some said so.

"Already! I don't know why!!

And so on and Sarah was a crown, but I guess it's more normal for the artisans to react.

Humans, it's hard to imagine specifically what you've never seen or experienced.

"Kenji, why are you laughing!

"I'm laughing...?

When Sarah tells me to be aware of her expression, she does have an elevated mouth angle.

(Right, Am I Fun)

It's been a long time since I've had this feeling.

"With Sarah, I remember running around setting up the workshop with only the prototype shoes in one hand."

"Oh, yeah. You had a rough time then. If you Kenji, it's hard to say, and you're just so heartless..."

"I didn't have any money then, and my life was on top of it, and I couldn't afford it anyway."

Launching the first shoe factory was a struggle.

At any rate, the craftsmen were nothing more than a collection of half-hearted young craftsmen, and the way they made shoes was a tool that they were completely unfamiliar with, and a management method.

I remember it took a while to explain and persuade anyway because common sense was different in the first place.

Why you shouldn't make shoes by yourself, what this tool is, why you have to clean, etc...

We repeatedly and gutsily explained the rationale for each and every operation we took for granted, the use of tools, and how to store them, creating mechanisms according to the skill and knowledge of the occasional craftsmen.

Nowadays, the young craftsmen are also perfectly proficient in the way of shoe factories, making and sending out tons of shoes every day.

Proud employees.

But even with such a track record, it seems difficult to accept new ways of thinking.

I noticed something once and asked the craftsmen.

"Who of these has been to 2nd class neighborhoods?

About two-thirds of the craftsmen raised their hands.

"Who has ever walked a second-class neighborhood on a rainy day?

Continuing to ask, the hand that was being lifted was halved.

Craftsmen have never experienced the comfort of not getting muddy when it rains.

Come to think of it, the shoe factory craftsmen have their workplaces and homes in 3rd class neighborhoods.

What that means is a glance at events like city festivals and coronations, and their lives are complete within a very narrow range.

The only exceptions are those who live freely in and out of the city and the neighborhood, like adventurers like me and the Swordtooth Corps.

On the other hand, it was easy to persuade about the significance of clean construction of a leather street road.

Rather than, they didn't even need to be persuaded, they were enthusiastic.

"The performance of the shoes delivered to the Cardinal was recognized, and it was a carriage for you to build a new church at the entrance to Leather Street"

Just saying so, the artisans changed the color of their eyes and shouted delightfully at their mouths.

No one has heard my explanation or anything about "... I've been asked to prepare the way as part of that preparation" anymore.

"He said the church could be built!!

"Wow... what an honor"

"The Cardinal..."

"I have to let my father know about this."

"Who can the new priest be..."

As a less punitive person of faithful mind, the craftsmen are only bewildered by their enthusiastic reactions.

"... what, this"

It was Claudio, the priest present, who relieved me of my doubts who was half-hearted.

"Nor can we force them to rejoice. Captain, you've created a new parish."

Build a parish?

I did ask you to "build a church," but I didn't make that demand.

"A new church will be built in the name of the Cardinal. It is also a church for those who were traditionally driven off the outer walls as city troublemakers. Their work and way of life is, so to speak, a testament to the recognition of God and the Church."

The ensuing narrative of the young priest gave me a headache.

It would reduce crime if we built it in alternation, and what we requested in a degree of significance is giving us momentum to build it in the saint's secret.

Because of my mind, I thought I heard the distinctive laughter of Priest Nicolo.
