It Seems I Came to Another World, Now What Should I Do

Episode 68: Talking to the Viscount

It was a well-made boxcarriage that picked me up. Your man is dressed properly, and his crest is decorated on the side.

Customer treatment? The first thing I felt was uncomfortable. Only the crusade of the commanding individual gave me a clear assessment.

To that extent, customers are not normally treated. As an adventurer, this is what I'm asking you.

In the first place, there is dissatisfaction in this matter regarding the King's response. Together, I didn't understand the meaning of this hospitality.

I'm also concerned about what's going on in the town that passes, but I can't afford that when I think about the time ahead.

The Lordship Hall was a stone building of considerable size. Since there is little war between the two communities, moats and other defense equipment were only minimally secured and weighed heavily on the center of government and residence.

I guess during the night it will rise, through the jumping bridge and into the building. The samurai is directed straight to the corner of the reception room. The Viscount wants you to wait a long time because he is in need.

Sit on something like a sofa in the reception room. Inside there was cotton stuffed in the wooden skeleton, or it was made firmer than I thought. It was also tea that was served.

I knew the tea trees lived in the south woods. Fermentation during transfer, and I wonder if a culture of tea has emerged, makes my thoughts about convergence stronger again.

Photography dominates the hanging of paintings. Still, I guess there's not enough room for painting to specialize in civilization. However, there is a demand to replace photographs, so the birth of a photographer is unknown.

Furniture, forehead and other decorations are also largely naive given the Earth's past. The product feels good, but it is really rough to make. Even where God says that we can't afford humans, we realize that.

Waiting for a long time to enjoy his tea, he was called out by a magnificent man who looked like a butler. When I said I would guide the Viscount as he was ready, I started leading the way.

Honestly, I don't know how to manners a place like this. I can't believe it, is that the most salute? The weapon class could not be taken away. Well, I'm a magician, so I don't care if they take my weapon away.

Enter the back room of the butler's knock, lay down his weapon, kneel, and raise his hands, looking down and out of sight. Keep your head drooling and look at your opponent's feet.

"You don't have to go that far."

Makes a gentle impression, I heard a soft voice.

"Keep your head up. I can't even talk."

As I was told, a gentle man in his 40s or so stood when he raised his head.

Stand up again and approach slowly.

"I hear the name. Akihiro, is that you? I'm Norwe. I'm doing the Viscount in this territory."

"Nice to meet you, My Lord Viscount. My name is Akihiro."

Deeply bow your head and say hello.

Norweh, with a slightly troubled face, talks.

"I'm glad you honor me. But only His Majesty the King pays the most tribute. Enough courtesy for our ministers. Besides, I have done nothing to be called Your Excellency. Same age. By name, please."

"Now, with Master Norweh,"

"Well, that's good. I heard he was an adventurer, but even a merchant seems to be dealing with him when he gets so thankful. Surprised in a good way."

It is natural to pay respect to the learnings or the eyes of society, but this happens when there is no information. I regretted that I should have asked the butler's person.

Norweh laughs bitterly and continues.

"Hmm. Are there parts of it that are not well explained? Regarding this summons, it is not reprimand. It's a completely different story."

"Is that another story?

"In conclusion, I will state it in a straightforward manner. Why don't you do the baron?

"Yes? Are you the Baron?

Honestly I was surprised and took a rude response. It's unexpected. I have no idea what that means.

Upon hearing the story, the title of each kingdom shall be the Marquis at the top and, in the case of kings involved, the Duke. Below that, in the order of the Counts, Viscounts and Barons. There is no Sir. Because of the disconnection between military and political positions.

Also, basically, the title does not inherit. Because the title itself is a position. The king is inherited. Though he who was dutifully educated by the ruling God endured.

Norweh was a child of the Duke, but he came up from the Baron to the Viscount on his own.

There are few words that can be taken very positively in Japan today. However, in a world with few educational opportunities, it is possible to inherit education and ideas from within the child. The benefits are huge.

It is the king's right to give the title again.

So, it's this title, but in fact, it's not very profitable. At least there is no absolute right, like the past titles of the earth.

I have a lot of freedom in my position, but I can't move for my own benefit. If you do that, you will be disposed of by the King's direct audit team. I can't even corrupt.

If you try to make a financial benefit, you will raise taxes in excess of your sales budget with new development, etc., to the extent that you will receive a portion of it as a bonus. Whatever you think, I see the shadow of God presiding over the rule.

As a public impression, humans with titles are respected. I don't mean to be unconditionally respected, but to say thank you for such a difficult job.

That's all, it's a lot of hard work to continue the aristocracy, but there's no profit. However, it can also be said that the salary is good, that the discretionary power of the job is extended, and that the position recognized by the state is a stable one.

So, I'm talking about this baron, and it seems that the goal is to expand the survival zone, which is the grief of the people.

For a long time there has been a frame on the budget like 'Beginner Baron Set', and if you find the right person, they will rule the new area with that budget.

Finally, he also showed us a simple map of the continent. Borders are painfully present, but the actual survival zone has not reached that point in each country. It is only in the sense of the division of responsibilities as a delimitation of responsibilities.

If I took up my post as a baron, the scope of governance would be around about the size of the North Forest, mainly about two days by carriage to the east of the current village. There are mountains to the north and forests to the east and south.

"In the mountains of the north, there is an open-air deposit of iron"

This baron set has a budget of about one large village and one small village, including the Lords' Palace. The point is that it is hoped to create a village in the heart of the territory and a village producing iron on the side of the mountains.

Still, about half of Tokyo, we have to manage a larger area than Sado Island, and we're not talking about results in five or six years.

"A 10-year tax exemption is a right. Except for the taxes on each guild. Only taxes on the harvest."

If we increase the harvest once and for all even in agricultural reform, the benefits will be greater. Turn that to capital investment and it will be bigger......

"In terms of personnel, there will also be a more appropriate transfer of personnel from the bureaucracy. Turn a person whose identity is also apparent with regard to the inhabitants. Until the initial response around here is on the budget."

If there is a human being, then let's not talk about it... Only policy development if the bureaucracy moves decently, and I can continue to be an adventurer. In other words, in order to defend the village, we have to.

"Why me?

"Hmm. Adventurer Guild and Blacksmith Guild recommendation. I know the details of the upside so far."

Refers to a thick pile of documents on the desk. No matter how poor the paper quality is, that thickness is unusual. What reports have been made?

"Pump? Was it? What made you develop that one?

"To streamline well water intake and generate excess time. With less effort, you'll be able to do other tasks."

Honest thoughts. If we don't reduce the hard work, that work will always be the norm. If you increase your work efficiency, you can do something else in your spare time.

"People can't afford to go around those thoughts in this harsh environment. That's the perspective of the exchangers."

Japanese society is extremely efficient. For this reason, a point of view arises to make it more efficient. I can't think of that in my work.

"So is the upside of this case. The military of the country sees talent as a general, but I want to prioritize the expansion of the living area as a hope for everyone to live"

I know this guy's struggling, too. It was also this man who made him approve of the budget for the construction of stone walls around the church as a refuge in the village. He's pretty much interacted with the country.

"We have a budget for a few places, and there are other candidates. I just want you to think about it. The talent should be kept alive. I'm also comfortable with people from close villages becoming nearby lords."

territory scheduled for me, but worn partly with the Viscount Territory. This is dangerous if the distance is too wide when thinking about moving, so let it operate on a rental basis once it is free. When the territory has been expanded and maintained, it is said to return it.

"I would also like to think with my wife, is there any problem if I am a little late in responding?"

"It would help if you could think about it. The beginning of budgeting begins at the beginning of the year. If you can decide by then, there will be no problem. Beyond that, there will be less budgetary freedom for the coming financial year. Adjust that when you're ready."

"I will consider it positively"

"Now when I ascended to the Viscount, it seemed helpful that both the little sparrows of the court were peaking about whether I could find the Baron either"

You don't suspect Norwe will take it. Aristocrats. As long as we live in Japan, it's a totally frivolous story... I was going to start in commerce as a stable position but also appropriately......

Dare not, promise a close reunion and exchange farewell greetings.

Deacon takes me to the entrance to the hall.

Ha, I wonder what Liz thinks...

The unexpected, full of heads, couldn't afford to think about what to do with today's inn or return home.
