Isaac

“Let's cut to the chase, not curse. ”

- I'll be watching you.

“Go, thank you. We'll reconnect you directly from the private room. ”

The communications director thanked him repeatedly for coming back from the dead to show Isaac to his private room, but he said with a annoying look.

“I don't know what's going on, but if it's going to spread, just do it here. ”

Magellan sighs as she ponders over Isaac's words for a moment.

- Well, everyone knows what's going on. You do know that Fort Cigar has a complicated relationship with the Tributes, right?

“I've heard that before. ”

- Simply put, the founding issue at the top of Port City today is not just a matter of offsetting, but a miniature version of the central political power struggle. If the Fort Cigar Merchant Guild is founded, some of the Coalition may go bankrupt. The problem is that there are many places that are intertwined with the Colored Gang.

“So I hear you can't set up a merchant guild? ”

No matter how defensive the entire lobby is in Fort City, there's not a lot of contacts in the Colorado.

“But what's the problem? ”

- Earl Mills got in the way.

“Outside of Kainen? ”

Earl Mills said he'd help you set up the League if you cooperated.

“Is that how you want to deal with me? ”

- Taking care of you is collateral income, which is actually to put a little bit of a stake at the top of Port City. Once the Merchant Guild is established, the profits will be clear.

“The others won't stand for it. ”

- That's why you're important. It is forbidden by Imperial law for a noble family of more than one who is not in commerce to establish or invest in merchants. There is a concern that if a higher rank is involved than the Earl, he or she will violate the Fair Trade Act in any way. There are dirty fights where there is profit. That's what the Administrative Office of Revenue always says.

“Well, that's the first I've heard of it. ”

- Well, that's why we use a low-ranking noble family that's tied to blood ties, but not many families succeed because they're so constrained.

“What does that have to do with what's important to me? ”

- Earl Mills, just like Fort Shi, has attempted to go into the offshore business, and only half of it has succeeded.

“That means I'm the other half. ”

When you're gone, Earl Mills will be able to start by putting his shares at the top of Fort City. Well, the others know that, so they're trying to protect you. He is the rightful heir to the baron of Rondat, but as long as you remain indifferent to him, he will not have the baron of Rondat.

The conclusion was that no matter how much Isaac tried to escape, Earl Millos wanted him dead. It's the cleanest and most unlikely way to say it.

“Shouldn't you have stopped this? ”

- That's why Earl Mills dragged Fort Shi into this. Fort Shi poured out enormous sums of money, but nothing worked, so neither did those who took it. Earl Mills, however, tripped over you as he drew in Fort Shi.

“Well, aren't you the one who sent me to Newport City? So what are you gonna do now? ”

- I have good news and bad news. What do you want to hear?

“Let's hear it from a good reject. ”

- Soon there will be a formal order. Immediately after receiving the order, I hereby appoint Newport City as a special administrative district and appoint it to the first class knight, Isaac Rondart.

“ ……. ”

In Magellan's words, Isaac gives a slight impression, and the operators look at Isaac with their mouths wide open like they were hit by a bomb.

“What's the bad news? ”

-The deadline is three years, and if you fail to drop the unemployment and crime rate in Newport City below a decimal point or raise the income level of citizens to the average middle-class level of the Empire, you will forfeit all positions, privileges and property, delete the fact that you are from the College, and enforce a repayment to the principal price.

“Well, let me put it this way: you're going to die in three years, and you're going to spend the rest of your life courtesy of a king. ”

- Does that mean...?

Magellan nods at the thought of refusing Isaac's brief conclusion.

‘By the way, this guy's straightforward. ’

Magellan said, clearing her throat.

- If you succeed, you will be recognized as an heir to the Londat family.

“Failure will kill you, and success will not be your reward. That's a real motivational mission. Would you be willing to do the same? ”

Isaac, who has been singing the countryside clerk since we first met. Even if Isaac succeeds, Baron Rondat doesn't want Isaac dead, he doesn't want Isaac alive.

- But I can't help it. It's so sudden. This is what Fort City-style lobbying has been all about. This is an official order from the Administration, and I can't help it. Still, the Resistance made me acting Lord for the urgent empowerment force. Where have you lived like a king for three years?

Isaac stares at Magellan blankly, not comforting her, as if it were absurd.

“An order is an order if you have one who obeys it. Don't you know it's only a laughing matter if he's cut off his hand and his foot as king? ”

-... I'm sorry.

With a bitter smile and an apologetic attitude, Isaac sighs for a moment.

“No. It's not that I don't know what you've done for me. By the way, how much authority does the Lord have? ”

- On behalf of the lord, but as long as the lord can't be on his side, he's like the lord. The lord has the same authority as the king.

However, there are some limitations to that authority. Although administrative, legislative, and judicial reforms can be used to operate the territory, residents of the territory can appeal to the administration as a group and vote against the entire population if the result is reasonable.

In other words, the king is a king who needs to pay attention to the inhabitants. However, no matter how much I calm down, I do not pass the judgment unless I commit a cruel tyranny.

There are also several devices to amend the law to prevent the genuine blockade of the source, a representative of which is the guarantee of freedom of assembly assembly. Attempting to prevent this is crucial to passing the judgement.

Isaac nods, listening to Magellan's explanation.

“In other words, if the lord's pranks that the residents won't be able to live because of him, the central government will say," Oh, what a jerk. I'll switch you to someone else. "Either that or it's not enough to change. If you seduce him, you can go live somewhere else. You mean this? ”

- It's an affordable interpretation, but you're right.

“Hmm……. ”

As Isaac folds his arms together, Magellan looks at him with a slightly anticipated gaze.

- Is there some kind of breakthrough?

Not as many cities as Newport City, but as many cities as Newport City. Unemployment and crime rates are not only a problem for the Imperial Administration, but also for public institutions everywhere. If Isaac can reform Newport City with his brilliant ideas, he can use it as a role model to improve other cities as well.

“No, I just thought my debt was funny. Five years on campus and now three years in Newport City. It's a very limited life. ”

Oh, sorry. Funny thing to say, it's a limited time life. That's what I heard. Heheh heh. It looks good on you.

Isaac asks as Magellan laughs as if it's funny.

“Then why am I still alive? ”

Magellan coughs as if she could hear Sareh, smiling and coughing. She barely said with a calm expression.

What are you talking about?

“I'm incompetent, but I'm not an idiot. ”

- Yeah, it's not stupid.

“ ……. ”

Isaac scratches his cheek, momentarily losing his word for Magellan's consent to feel something different.

“My first thought of getting a college diploma was to try and use me everywhere. ”

- …….

“Giving a college diploma to someone who's not naive and who needs to get off campus is worth it. And then I understood that I had to go to the infamous Newport City on my own. If a college graduate dies in Newport City, the Central will flip over, and that will take care of two problems at once, so it's an efficient way. ”

-... misunderstood.

“No way. Isn't it cheaper to lay down your life and clean up a city? ”

- You think I'm gonna stand by and watch that happen?

As Magellan grunts, Isaac shrugs.

“I know you're great, but Central doesn't seem to notice you. ”

- …….

“That's why I don't understand it any easier. I've been waiting for someone to come and kill me all day, and I haven't heard from them. I was the only one left, so I kept thinking about it. Is he important enough that I can't kill him in Central? ”

- So, what's the verdict?

“You're asking because you don't know. Am I worth more than a city? ”

- Self-value is self-generated.

“I don't know. ”

In Isaac's wake, Magellan sighs and sighs.

- Hnng... Damn it, I told you to keep it a secret, but you figured it out, so it doesn't matter. Honestly, Central has nothing to do with it. It's just that you suck.

“That's a sad thing to say, but there's no denying. ”

Isaac shrugs and nods at Magellan's confession.

- The beginning was Earl Mills. Dean Coduroy saved a seat in a peaceful and idle countryside for you to graduate from. But no matter how rural the countryside is, the bailiff is a public servant. I have no choice but to enter the HR office. The largest faction in HR is Earl Mills.

“You disagree? ”

- That's not enough, not the other way around, but to keep the public out of it. I was going to summon you to the mainland somehow and take care of you, but once you get into office, that's impossible.

“What does that have to do with me taking my college diploma? ”

- Given the impact of college and campus, it's not that simple. The HR office opposes what the Dean of the College is leading, so if you skip it, the College will be swayed by HR.

“So you gave me a diploma in college that I had no choice but to go public, not on campus? ”

Earl Mills has sent you to Newport City in defiance of him.

“You played a fucking political game with me? ”

- Still working on it. The HR offered me an official statue on ridiculous terms because I didn't want to see you survive surprisingly well in Newport City. The city of Newport is more complicated and more troubling than you know. There are administrative agencies, including the Supply and Legal departments, but the General Administrative Department is the Administrative Office. But since the HR office, who doesn't care, tied you and Newport City together and tripped, the Administration, who was furious, accepted the HR agenda, gave you the most authority.

“Turning Newport City into a normal city was an offer from the Human Resources Administration, and because they didn't have a reason to reject their own agenda, they made it easy to move around? ”

- That's right.

“ ……. ”

Smells of unpleasant emotion bloom. You notice how Isaac feels, and Magellan says in a soothing tone.
