Isekai Apocalypse MYNOGHRA ~The Conquest of the World Starts With the Civilisation of Ruin~

It's been about two weeks since Dragon Tan was assigned to Minogura.

Although there is still some confusion regarding the transfer, the personnel in charge have finally gotten used to it to some extent, and it is about time for them to get back on track.

The city's mayor, Antelize-Antique, who has been deemed the most important person in the city, is still struggling with his work today at his desk, which is more organized than before.

'City chief, I have your documents. It's a draft on the basic education of the city's inhabitants.

Thank you. Put it there.

A civilian apprentice enters the vacant city manager's office without knocking and places a stack of clear white papers on his desk.

After pausing his work for a brief review of the documents, Anthelise, after confirming that there are no urgent matters, tosses them to the bottom of the box labeled "outstanding" in a corner of the desk.

The man who was watching, pitying the poor case that was promptly put off, interrupted the question.

'Good so?'

"Hmm?　Oh, it's a draft for the education of the residents. The construction of the learning facility has been decided, so I'm going to make a system to raise the basic level of education in the future. Well, it's not something I want to work on right now, so I'll put it on hold for now. Oh, I have some documents that I need you to submit to another department.

As he says this, he starts pulling out some bundles of papers from the cupboard.

In contrast to the messy office of the past, the current city manager's office is well organized, so there is no hesitation in its movements.

The civil servant who brought the papers. This man is a former guard who was selected as an employee of the city hall because of a conversation he had on the city watchtower the other day.

Although it was an unorthodox appointment, there are many examples like this in today's Dragon Tan.

The defense of the city is currently undergoing a major personnel reorganization because it has been able to leave the defense of the city in the hands of Minogura's deformed units.

Right now, no matter what, we need the brains to run the city. Therefore, if a person can read and write, he or she is being pulled as a city clerk.

An ex-guardian is one of the people involved in this major reform. He seems to dislike the mind-numbing job, but no matter how arrogant and unprecedented the appointment is, the hardest part of serving at the palace is that you have to shake your head once the order is given.

It's not just a matter of how many times you've been in the past, it's also a matter of how many times you've been in the past.

Although the salary can be expected to increase, there is still a lot more to learn compared to the previous job.

I can't help but feel resentful of my former colleagues at my current job, which requires me to turn my hitherto half-dormant brain into full gear.

While painting over such a small internal dissatisfaction with his loyalty to his new master, Mainogura, the former guard, now a civilian apprentice, is doing his best to help with the reforms Mainogura is pushing for.

However, in an unfamiliar job, everything is hazy, and every day there is a constant stream of mistakes and confusion, with some of the tasks being the opposite of what they are used to.

I'm not sure how much priority and importance Anteliese's pending projects have on them.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're going to do with the ...... draft on basic academic skills. I'm sure you're talking about teaching the public a lot of things, right?　I thought these things were more for the big guys: ......

You have to have a minimum of knowledge. You should know at least a little bit about what you're doing, and if the people who are the king's vassals can't read, it's unfair to them. You should know enough about it so that you don't rub the king's face in it.

"But I'll do my best. ......

That being said, I certainly can't argue with that. However, there is a part of me that does not feel comfortable with it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun," he said, as he glanced at the man who was wavering between loyalty to the king and an indescribable look on his face as he struggled with his studies.

It's a good idea to have basic academic skills, no matter what industry you'll be working in in the future. (It's hard to even get them to learn to do their job smoothly if they can't read and write at a minimum).

It's no secret to anyone involved in city management that the home country of Minogueura has been giving various leverage to Dragon Tan.

The scope of the project is diverse and involves a lot of money, people and materials.

This was understandable to some extent, but what particularly surprised me was the strong push to educate the population, albeit in the future.

This is spreading to the working class, which until now was not considered particularly necessary, to the point of confusion and bewilderment from most of the old-school thinkers.

The growth of the intelligentsia, in other words, leads to the acquisition of new concepts and breakthroughs.

This is evidence of the importance Minogueura places on the study of new technologies, and at the same time, it is proof that she is rich and powerful enough to devote her national power to education.

Of course, the size of the home country of Minogueura as she knew it seemed a bit reckless to implement such a grandiose measure.

So what transforms that recklessness into a possibility?

There is one answer. Ila-Tact, the great King of Doom.

It was all due to the profound wisdom and power of their new leader.

(I mean, I've received all kinds of knowledge from the home country of Minogura, and I'm reminded of the importance of education, especially for Fawnkavn. Especially since Fonkavn is not as technologically advanced as the northern continent states, it is very understandable why the king places so much importance on education.

The harsh conditions in the southern part of the continent were the reason why the Fawnkavn lagged behind the northern states in terms of technology.

The land was barren, crops unprofitable, and rampant with vicious barbarians seeking to take away lives. This land was such a dangerous place.

Education eats money, time and labor. In the former homeland, during the time of the Fawnkavn, even children were an important labor force.

Once they could speak the language, it was common for them to help their parents or family members with their work, and the apprenticeship guidance they received would produce the next generation of artisans and workers.

For this reason, education for the citizens of the city was probably a form of hedonism reserved for the rich and privileged, and most people were just trying to survive in this harsh land.

However, that has changed with the protection of the nation of Minogura, or the benefits of Ila-Tact, the King of Doom.

In a sense, it could be said that for the first time, Dragon Tan and its inhabitants were able to lead a civilized life.　

But everything is moving so fast that it's hard to keep up with it.

Nevertheless, the changes are in one word: rapid. Every day is a shock.

The part of the city you were looking at yesterday is completely different the next day, and the procedures and ways of working that you are accustomed to are changed to something else the day after tomorrow.

The current Dragon Tan was in the midst of so much change that the expression "born anew" could not have been more appropriate.

With an endless supply of food and materials from home, and an endless supply of bullshit abilities, it's hard to believe that Dragon Tan is now in the midst of a transformation. "Endless amounts of food and materials supplied by our home country, and most importantly, a troop of people with those bullshit-capable guns, that's what makes this possible.

One of the factors that have made it possible for the Anteliese to proceed with this radical measure, while half agreeing with the words of the Apprentice Civilian. Think about the musketeer unit.

The city's gunmen, already made up of selected elite, have completed a minimum of proficiency training and are responsible for guarding the city's periphery as well as exterminating the barbarians who invade the country.

The power of the gunmen is immense, and the fields are not being razed to the ground as they were in the past. On the contrary, it has the power to eradicate the barbarian nests that exist in the surrounding areas.

At this rate, it would be possible to build a village with a large farm outside the city.

But for now, though, it's a matter of rebuilding Dragon Tan's urban functions first.

Anteliese divides the already settled documents into different departments and puts sticky notes on them.

At the same time, she remembered the important task she had asked the man in front of her the other day.

Now that you mention it, how would you feel about collecting information from other countries?

Although the city of Dragon Tan is in the midst of turmoil and chaos, it is not closed down like a closed country.

It's not just a matter of how many times I've seen it, it's also a matter of how many times I've seen it.

Information is sometimes worth more than gold.

Anteliese had ordered the collection of information from other countries with a budget and manpower, even though they were short on manpower.

Of course, this was a direct order from the home country of Mainogura, and by extension, King Ila-Tact.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to find out what you're looking for.

'We're getting together nicely, although we're only gossiping about the city over there.

Wow. Surprising. I thought it would be more difficult. Is your source of information a peddler or a mercenary?

You're right. They come out of nowhere when they think they can make money. And the prices are much higher than usual. They are completely watching their step.

Even though the support from home country of Minogueura is generous, there are of course things that are missing. Fortunately, you have the money, so you can buy them, even if they are a little more expensive.　It will make it easier for your mouth to slip, too.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

As an evil nation, I thought that peddlers would be wary of it, but apparently that was not the case.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that they are in some sort of transition.

Although there is a possibility that it will have a more fearless appearance and atmosphere in the future, the current state of affairs shows that it is still very much a shadow of its former self, despite the fact that it is undergoing a major rebuilding process.

In a sense, such a half-hearted state of affairs may be loosening the vigilance of their peddlers.

But what they will do in the future, considering the state of affairs in their home country, remains to be seen.

I agree. Then I will ask the person in charge to bring an inventory and estimate of the goods to be purchased from the peddlers later.

Anyway, at present, we can gather information and buy supplies without any problems.

And that's an important matter for Dragon Tan and Mainogura now.

Anteliese nodded at the civilian's words and told him to give priority to the process.

But the inventory and estimates ...... hey. These little details have really increased.

"Isn't it a cheap operation to go through all that hassle of talking about what you said or didn't say, whose responsibility it is?

Certainly. It's nice to have an organization that is so well managed and structured that there's not much hassle. My signature for approval is getting better every day, I can't complain about that.

So, it's time to send that wonderful signature written by the city manager to those who work hard day and night?

"Here you go. Here, please take it.

It seems that I have been indulging in a bit of banter. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.

You'll be able to get your work done. I'm going to work while drinking alcohol.

[Notes on the Dragon Tan Urban Development Project and the Cursed Earth]

Progress in urban development is largely on schedule.

Vacant houses with unknown owners, which have increased due to the exodus of residents, will be confiscated by the state and offered to residents seeking housing after appropriate repairs.

In addition, buildings in danger of collapsing, such as the former slums, will be destroyed.

Because of the high possibility that the land will be altered in the future due to the inherent nature of Minogura's "cursed land," the strength of the houses will be increased.

At the same time, they will continue to produce unique buildings such as the Magic Laboratory, Marketplace, and Training Center.

Since it will take some time for Minogura and Fawnkavn to investigate and verify the Dragon's vein cave, and to decide on a future policy for its operation, it will only be classified as an off-limits area for the time being.

Food Production Plan.

The existing food production capacity of the Dragon Tan is extremely limited to the demand of the city, and there are many residents with nutritional and developmental problems.

Therefore, for the time being, the king's priority will be to supply nutritious food produced by the king.

At the same time, as a measure to improve the food situation in the city, it aims to popularize the use of human flesh and actively seek the cooperation of bars and other places in the city in adopting dishes using human flesh so that citizens can become familiar with the new food culture.

Plan for the construction of national roads and the development of distribution networks for allied countries

Establish a road to the capital city of Minogura and Dragon Tan to facilitate logistics.

The main focus will be on the development of the Great Conjuring Realm, which is highly undulating and difficult to maintain with giant trees, and this will be carried out by the home country's maintenance team.

The Dragon Tan side will also dispatch personnel to collaborate and study the matter, but the priority will be basically the maintenance and reconstruction of the city.

At the same time, they will also develop and maintain distribution routes to Crescent Moon, the capital of Fawn Cavern.

[Information Gathering]

All the bars, restaurants and inns in the city will be under the direct control of Mynogura and will serve as the key information gathering point.

In addition, shopkeepers and employees will be given simple professional training and trained to become capable of gathering higher quality information.

The goal is to collect domestic information and trends in the Holy Kingdom and the Spiritual Contract Federation, which are virtual enemy countries. The next step is to collect information on Fawnkavn and other small countries scattered across the southern continent.

Information gathering will be under the direct control of the home country, and Dragon Tan will be responsible for collecting information based on the orders.

◇ ◇ ◇

There is a wide range of work going on in parallel.

We will be examining and sequentially processing the information given to us by the home country of Minogueura.

Nearly all of them are new projects that have a new look and feel to the existing operations of the city, and none of them are important matters that cannot be taken lightly.

In addition to these, plans for the construction of recreational facilities and the strengthening of the city's defense equipment, such as exterior wall extensions, are also on the agenda.

However, these are a step down in priority and are currently on hold with the establishment of educational institutions.

There's a lot of work to do, but it's a lot easier when you have hope!

It is fortunate that they are not worried about their own future as they once were.

The king of Minogueura's power had given the inhabitants of Dragon Tan a sense of indescribable relief, even a sense of narcotic euphoria of some sort.

Is this what it means to be evil?　I focus on moving forward with the task at hand while wondering.

It's going to be busy for a while.

Although Dragon Tan is still in the process of transferring, and although it is still a minogra in terms of affiliation, it still takes a little more time to truly be under its control.

'Let's see. Where is that directive?　--There it is.

And that day will come in the blink of an eye, considering how busy this is.

Antelise confirms the directive she received from her home country.

[Dragon Tan Transfer Ceremony and--]

...... one month to go, huh? I've got to work hard to be ready to go safely~

You have been given a reward to be satisfied. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

The first thing I did was to peach the peaches.

Anteliese also pulled himself together once again to prepare for a day that would probably mean a great deal to the world, let alone Minogue.
