My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

248 My sister's unexpected stunt and Mr. Listella's salary.

In the carriage to the former royal palace, the making of a book (chabo) to show Mr. Listella began.

Hurry up and compile a list of expenditures and amounts.

"Yoichi, what's the cost of this one?

"Uh, I thought you said, please, for 30 million."

"No, brother. It's 33 million astols."

"Is that it? Well, I guess the cost of building five buildings over here was 30 million."

"That's 25 million astr. 30 million astr. That's the price I paid for two barns of wheat."

"Oh well... you remember me well"

"It's like a habit to look closely at prices when shopping. I don't have my household book on because the paper is expensive..."

"Oh, I see.... Kaori be a good daughter-in-law.

Right. "

――――

I praised her a little and her sister turned bright red to her ears. What is this, my sister is so cute......

"... Kaori, this one?

"- Yeah, yeah. I ordered 4,000 of those for 10,000 astols one at a time. The price is half paid. So, 10 million Astol is ready as a price to buy vegetables from a nearby village over here. Buying meat and cheese from nomads…"

And it looks like Eina decided to collect the data from her sister, not me.

I guess I found it faster and more accurate that way. That's right Eina, it's a really sensible and correct decision......

"... add to this sum the amount spent on buying up slave elves... I see your income and expenses are perfectly balanced. Excellent."

Eina's cooperative play with her sister and her ability to calculate like Eina's calculator allowed the bookmaking to go well and complete the books in critical condition while she arrived at the former royal palace and Listella was taking a bath.

And me, you didn't need anything else...

It makes me a little dent, but that, anyway, makes me feel like I've had a terrible chore with His Majesty the King when I think about it.

... Well, let's not worry about it because you don't look angry.

More than that, there was one thing that bothered me.

I had nothing to do, so I was staring at Eina running the pen, but after spending a paragraph asking me about my income, I felt I was writing down numbers faster than I could answer.

And that number was perfectly accurate to 10,000 astre digits, both for last and previous months.

... this means that my income is completely grasped, right?

Much of the income is from the use of the knowledge previously provided, which is naturally what Eina has received, but there is also income from other sources.

But Eina knew it exactly as far as 10,000 astols.

... maybe, but this doesn't mean you don't trust me, but you don't even fail to be vigilant.

Money moves are one of the first places you get signs (like this) when you try to do something.

It's a little sad that we're all together and we're still on guard, but when you think about it, even I'm actually keeping secrets about my sister being a brave man or something from another world, so when it comes to each other, it's mutual.

Besides, I'm a demon king and I can follow dragons, so it's only natural for Eina in the position of king to be on guard.

Conversely, if you are now alert, you are at a level of anxiety to rely on in political terms, so let's rather think you are reliable.

... with that in mind, ask Listella to look at the finished book in the bath a little glossy.

With her body dirty and dressed in clean clothes, and her hair done, Listella had returned to her beautiful sister she had seen before, but she had made her (or her) rather thinner than she remembered.

Water and dried grapes alone from the king's capital to this point. I feel a little sorry for being responsible for one end of the cause because of the difficulty of sparing a month and a half of my sleep.

And I guess Eina is even more awkward than I am. It's kind of funny how you subtly look away and make it look cozy.

Mr. Listella frowned a little everywhere, but he looked through the books quite quickly, but when he read to the end, he turned to me.

"There are some places where the amount seems a little high, but it's generally healthy. I'm curious that it's written in a letter I've seen somewhere..."

Whoa, speaking of which, Listella and Eina are your old best friends. Then I'll find out in my handwriting.

I found out that I had not kept a record and thought that I would be angry that I was spending a lot of money, but the contents seemed to be generally fine.

Regardless of the amount I didn't remember, I was going to do the best I could with my head for the individual deals, so I'm also a little happy that it was appreciated there.

I guess the reason why there is a higher amount is because I took into account the other person's circumstances.

When the dragon broke down the city walls and stormed the aristocratic neighborhood, giant stone fragments flew and damaged homes and shops...

"... So, as far as my job is concerned, should I just take this over and do it (like this)?

"The basics are right. I may ask you to do something new, but I think the main ones will be the protection and care of the Elves, relocation and construction of bases, migration and support for their lives. Ah, life support includes the discovery and development of traded goods"

"I see. The current situation is small, but you have one basic place to go. If it means we just have to expand it as it is, I wonder if my salary is worth 250,000 Astras a month."

"... eh, isn't that too cheap?

When I trace my memory, I remember hearing about the labor costs of this world when I first opened the Chamber of Commerce: 'From 1.5 million Astres a year for an employee of an elementary school graduate who can calculate basic reading and writing, and from 3 million Astres if you want to hire an intermediate school graduate as a future executive candidate'.

Two hundred and fifty thousand a month, three million a year. It's not enough to make me the biggest chamber of commerce on a very former continent and hire the best merchants in this world as far as I know.

Eina also has a complicated look on her side. Just the Commerce Minister's salary. Maybe this many times. I guess there was more than 10 times that.

But Mr. Listella speaks in a pale tone.

"It's a reasonable amount if you consider the content of the job. Besides, I betrayed Yoichi and lost my credibility as a merchant. With that in mind, if we were to re-establish our relationship from scratch, we would think it would be a reasonable place to start."

Oh, Listera, it's you. I care about that...

Speaking of which, I think the amount of 250,000 astols a month was the same amount as when I first hired Mr. Listella.

As for Mr. Listella, he's probably determined to start over again because he's lost all the credibility he's ever gained from me.

Personally, I'm just saying that you chose Eina over me, and it didn't hurt anything, and I think you're exaggerating for betraying me...

... Well, what should we do here?
