- Thus, we, the White Wolf Knights, are to receive two new knights.

Silver Wings (Garnet), Neon Scale (Hild), Purple (Mark), Blue Peacock (Sofia), Golden Fang (Lionel).

If we add the Knights of the Dragon King, which has been declared to drop off the dispatch for the time being, half of the existing twelve Knights will express their attitude and the other half will have yet to react.

Should I still say half or the other half?

Personally, I feel the latter way.

Even though it's a new knighthood for the Knight's Symphony, I was wondering if, given the time it would take to prepare, it would be a long way before full activity could begin.

Yet, if you realize it, you already have nearly half the knights you plan to send.

Earlier, I had just guided Sir Lionel to the base, even though the base is not yet complete -

- That's it, and I'm going to do my weapon shop job without delay.

Sure, the Knights are forming faster than expected, but the truth is, the busyness itself is so much better than it was around the time of the Demon King War.

The main role assigned to the White Wolf Knights is to mediate with adventurers exploring the dungeons and the Royal Palace and other Knights.

So like the one where Roy and the others reached a deeper realm than "Demon King's Castle Realm," it's about time we got busy with new discoveries on the Adventurer's side or if new decisions were made on the Royal Palace side.

Although I have been ordered to conduct various other investigations, it is difficult to make significant progress if no new reports are forthcoming, as that presupposes based on the exploratory results of the adventurers.

So I can usually focus on the White Wolf store too - at least for now.

"... Hey, Store Manager. That guy, he's really been sitting there since just now, can I just leave him alone?

I sew between the usual customer service and Erica sneaks up on me.

At the end of the gaze thrown sideways, Sir Sophia, dressed in private clothes, sat in the chair behind the accounting counter and laid eyes on a bunch of documents.

They probably use [quick reads] or similar skills, and even though they don't look like they're in an extreme hurry to get ahead, the time spent reading one is surprisingly short.

"... I see... this is good too..."

The reason I'm bothering to work behind the counter is because I want to get it done where my eyes can reach the person responsible.

Not much visible position from inside the store, but still not completely hidden, so occasionally a regular customer tips his nipple wonderfully when he realizes the presence of a strange woman.

Incidentally, it has not yet been revealed to anyone other than Knights officials that Green Hollow and its surroundings are about to be allocated as a territory.

We're waiting for an inquiry to be answered, so there's a lot of trouble leaking information outside the Knights.

"For once, it seems to be part of the public service..."

"I wasn't sure what the hell kind of work you were doing when I asked you for an explanation... hey, Mr. Alexia you're back"

Alexia comes back from the back of the store to Sophia, who doesn't even care about her surroundings, grabbing up with her big crotch.

In his hand was a thick document bound by a large mess.

"Uh, was that Lord Sophia of the Peacock Knights? That's all the paperwork you need. Budgeting for product development will be white in every corner. Are you convinced?

"It's the Blue Peacock Knights. As I said, funding for weapons development seems extremely sound. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Sophia answered while remaining calm to Alexia, who looked calm.

Sneaking a sneak peek at that, I'll explain again to Erica the purpose of this visit to Sofia.

"Our shop had a lot of deals with the Golden Tooth Knights, didn't it? Including a weapon development request from the Knights. I wanted to make sure there was no strange flow of gold in the process."

"Uh... money that the common people could play with and live with, they were gunning from right to left..."

Sophia's explanations I just received had many minor and difficult expressions, so I tried to reword them in as plain a way as possible, and now Erica seemed to understand them immediately as well.

A mythrill product I make, a bunch of noir-made magic tools, and weapons and tools created by Alexia's ingenious technology.

They all have a lot of orders from the Golden Tooth Knights, and yet all the things that make the unit price quite that much.

As a Blue Peacock Knights serving as an audit, I guess we couldn't possibly have lurked in fraudulent funding moves or left them unchecked once.

Of course, we can stand up and claim our innocence.

As much as I'd like to get a thorough look at it once and get ink with no problems.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I need to fill out some paperwork, so are you sure you want to lend me a place for a while longer?

"Be my guest."

Alexia replied on my behalf and came right back to us.

"This is why it's so hard to do business with you. This time it was in the name of the store, so I'm still fine, but if it was a job I took personally, I'd be alone in preparing all the paperwork..."

You were saying it yourself and you were getting disgusted, and Alexia cut off the words and shook her neck sideways along the way.

The majority of the paperwork that Sophia was looking through was what Noir had finished with his [quick pen] skills.

If you even do that task on your own, it will take a lot more effort.

"Well, the benefits are just enormous for the hard part... whoa, yeah. Mr. Luke, this is going to change a lot, but aren't you going to hire a new staff?

"You suddenly skipped the story. Is there someone you want to introduce me to? Or it's getting harder to turn the store around."

"There's no such thing as who. Noir came to mind with the paperwork."

Alexia continued her words with her hands on her mouth.

"You're foolish that lately it has become difficult to reconcile the work of making magic props with the work of customer service. It's tough because you can't outsource some of them like me."

"I hear that, too. I've been trying to get a lot of handouts to see if I can hire someone who can use their [magic prop making] skills, but I can't help it."

"On the contrary, I wondered how it would be for Noir to concentrate on the manufacturer, with more clerks in charge of customer service. Of course, his hopes come first."

"I see..."

Sure, that's one of those options that seems to work.

While the demand for magic items handled by Noir grows.

I knew it wouldn't last long with the job allocation as it is, and I was looking for an increase in the number of people who could manufacture magic props myself, but it would also be a hand to increase the number of store staff.

"... I really think it's going to be the end of the next good, but if you're not going to find someone who can make magic props, it seems like it would be a good idea to try that as a response for the moment"

When Alexia and I were talking about the store personnel, there was an unexpected sign that someone was coming in.

"There you are... oh, my God, Natalia"

"Good morning, Manager Luke. May I have a moment?

There was Natalia, the branch manager of the Hollow Bottom branch of the White Wolf store.
