Daytime.

Beglitz.

In the morning, I studied cadre Emui training, and now I'm back in the city for lunch to go to the government in the afternoon.

Anyway, the Knights' work, now that there's no Mizuchi, my burden in the administration has increased considerably.

In addition, since Cunningham has firmly manualized various administrative processes in the banking government, it is possible to throw more and more details to the middle management.

Even so, Mizuchi hasn't been able to touch much on administrative processing since about a year ago due to Arson's birth, so I don't feel that the amount of work itself has decreased at all, but rather it has increased.

I'm used to not being able to get help from Mizuchi, but I think the most important reason is that I've been away from Beclitz for a long time due to the rattling of the Second Lady (Mi Mi Mi) and the construction of the fortress.

No, that's not all.

... after all, the city itself, called Vegetarian Glitz, has grown.

As the scale of railway track construction increased, so did the population, and simultaneously the number of problems that arose.

Even now, when I'm at Beglitz, I interview about ten people a day.

Interviewees often have a mix of barons and associate baron class sons and daughters who own a slightly larger city.

Such people may bring in slaves to take care of themselves, and some may bring in spouses, their candidates, and sometimes their families, including children.

And from the nearby territory, the second son of a civilian family has come in a large number and started to settle down.

Oh, I don't think the proportions of drifters and claw bouncers are that high.

Most of the civilians who have family businesses such as merchants and craftsmen have been sent from their hometown to divide their homes after their second son.

In anticipation of this, last year we conducted a "no name" sweeping operation centered on Kendall Street (so-called slum city), and landed a large area of small, dirty, and shabby wooden huts.

Of course, there were complaints, and some voiced their opposition that it was mandatory even within the government.

But whoever lives on this land, no matter how noble, belongs to the lord, and everything on this land belongs to the lord.

I need to do something radical here, and if I have a complaint, I tell them to come up with an alternative, and they all shut up.

In addition, in the process of turning it into land, all the "nobody" who had been running away from the investigation until now were captured and made all of them into my slaves.

And on the site, I built my own longhouse (also known as the estate).

Of course, we also created a real estate business unit (essentially an inn in Auschwitz) at the Greed Chamber of Commerce for management purposes.

The main house is made of stone and is three stories high.

The number of rooms on each level is eight, with three room types (with an area of about 20 tsubo) on the first floor for families.

The whole house has a garden of about the same size as the floor area.

The number of units on the second floor is the same size, but this is not as big as a Japanese apartment, but there is a raised veranda.

The third floor is for small families or singles, and there are 12 units of one or two room types (the area is about 10 to 15 tsubo), and as with the second floor, there is a veranda that is stretched out.

In fact, each floor is made separately, and the lower floor is fixed with a dowel in the wall and a hole in the receptacle, so it can actually be a little higher.

In addition, the sewage pipe (even if it is a hole in the stone) is passed through the dowel so it does not leak.

They build five of them, and then they build an additional one when they feel like it.

Now, this type has increased to a total of 15 buildings, and the rent is low at about 1,000Z a day, so there are few available rooms.

Well, construction costs are almost zero, except for some metal parts such as shower heads, rubber hoses, faucets, hole-opening plates for drains, rubber products, and wood products such as windows and doors.

It should be noted that the rooftop of each building has about half as a cistern, and the other half can be used as a drying space.

Although it may have been imagined in the cistern, the whole house is equipped with a shower room and flush toilet, and even has a simple faucet and sink that can be used for hand washing.

The work of storing water is mainly done by the Knights' Servants, but even if you add the old killer (Slotters) and Purgatory Flame (Gehenna Flare), such as those who have special skills of water magic at a high level, there is only a handful of them, and still no one can fill the cistern with one shot.

So, in the end, I and Mizuchi often go to resupply.

Only when I'm at Beglitz, especially me.

I can't wait to get past it.

Especially it is difficult to go up the stairs to the rooftop one by one.

When it happened, I thought about using geomagic to build a platform higher than the cistern of the long house, and building a huge cistern on top of it to supply water to each cistern with a siphon, but I gave up in two seconds because quite a lot of the land died and it was too durable to make a long rubber hose.

Well, if the usage is as expected, the cistern is deliberately stupid, so if you fill it up at one time, it's a salvation if you say it's a salvation for more than half a month.

However, it should be said for sure that at the beginning, the idiot continued to leave the water out.

I was really angry about this, so I said, "This building does not supply water for a week because of this guy." After gathering all the residents, I declared that I would name the culprit, and if I did not supply it, I would settle down immediately.

Depending on the building, they pumped water from the above-ground well and tried to inherit it to the cistern on the roof, but they realized that it would take too much effort, and they blamed the wasted person.

I even considered adding water to the accommodation cost (which is also called the rent) temporarily.

If you attach a water wheel or a screw to the main pipe that supplies each house from the reservoir, you'll be able to attach a meter.

But when I thought about the structure, I gave up because it was too troublesome to make one door at a time.

I could make a lot more useful things if I took the time and effort to do that.

It's a real hassle for now, but I think time will fix it.

That said, it's probably faster for more people to be able to use water magic properly than to be able to use a power pump.

Yeah, I didn't even think about building a reservoir on the ground and letting the residents pump it up with a hand pump.

It was just too high to be possible.

Of course, it is assumed that water supply and sewerage will be ready in the future. There is also a considerable space in the wall separating the roof and each door. The foundation of the foundation is also excavated at a depth of about 1 m, and a thick and huge stone slab with a hole for sewage that has been carefully calculated is placed on it.

Because of this, the floor is about 1 meter above the ground, so even the residents on the first floor can't go to the garden seamlessly.

Well, now that there is no sewerage, I have no choice but to store the sewage in a fertilizer tank, but the bad smell does not flow back into the room due to the toilet with the water covered.

Once a week, the Fertilizer Division of the Greed Chamber of Commerce collects it and takes it to the suburbs for fertilizer.

Since there is no civilization tool like a vacuum car, there is no better way to deal with it than with it all with manpower, but it is a big deal to be able to give decent work to former "unnamed" slaves -- that is, children before adulthood, women, the elderly, and other powerless people.

By the way, the sewage from the shower and sink is separated from the toilet and is usually discharged outside.

In particular, it had its flaws.

Because it is made of total stone, summer is hot and winter is cold, but it is still somewhat better than the digging huts that used to be lined up in disorder.

It seems that the intelligent resident who has a little gold is trying to make it a little more comfortable by attaching boards to the floor and wall.

At the moment, there are no glass windows or glass doors in the boulder.

The windows are only fitted with floor-to-ceiling planks, and the doors to the garden and veranda are made of doors that look like rain doors that can be seen in Japanese houses.

The door was also made of wood, just sliding.

However, it is not uncommon to say that it is similar to an ordinary private house in Beglitz, so I think this is enough for now.

That's why the experience of building this longhouse has been used everywhere in the construction of the fortress.

While looking at the square long house lined up a little distance away, I entered the rice shop thinking that it was not in line with the landscape.



When I finished my meal and went to the government, my first visitor was waiting for me today.

It's a little earlier than we promised, but this could also be the effect of a sun clock.

The visitor is called Betley Lakshaz.

He's a shrine on the outskirts of the Beglitz, where he acts like a representative.

I'm calling you today.

Finish greeting each other and get to the point.

We've been talking about this for about six months.

"Seven people is the limit..."

"I'm sorry. I've hit a lot of these, but I don't know what else to do..."

The shrine is next to an orphanage and a nursery, and Lakshaz is entrusted with its operation.

Of course, there is no rule that a cleric should not have a deputy position.

It is here that I am simply asking him to imagine that the religious is also a serious aspirant.

Even Lakshazz seemed to have no resistance, and this proposal was accepted by Osuji at the same time as the proposal.

Especially since Mizuchi was the first to say that he wanted to build an orphanage.

With that in mind, I just thought it would be good to act as a nursery for my slaves at any rate.

There are many orphans among the "nobody" who lived in Kendall Street.

Originally a serf, most of the owners were listed in the status, but the orphan's parents died, and the toddlers were abandoned because they couldn't sell first.

They come from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from the village where my immediate servant was a short distance from his owner to the abandoned one who was purposely brought to Kendall City.

Of course, there are parents who have settled in Kendall City, and there are not any people who have eaten and flown somewhere or fugitive slaves, but more than half of them are from abandoned children.

Most of the abandoned children are abandoned before the age of five from the baby.

If you grow up more than that, you won't be able to count it as farm work or strength.

Anyway, such a person can't survive without being taken care of by an elderly person who is "unnamed".

More than half of them die before they grow up satisfied, but they still survive quite a bit.

No, it seems cold, but it's amazing how much you survive.

Most of the time, I didn't do anything busy, but if I tried to do it to them, I had no choice but to do so in order to live.

The newly discarded "nameless" was often cared for by elderly people who had settled in Kendall City.

As a person in the same position, you were probably not abandoned.

Even Thor was doing something similar.

Well, he wasn't abandoned, he was just a fugitive slave.

Let's get back to it.

Lakshazz said that seven people are the number of people I can work for the orphanage and nursery.

Of course, the article "at the moment" is accompanied by the article.

I'm working with Lakshazz as an associate in the charity department (laughs) of the Greed Chamber of Commerce.

Lakshazz accepted to take on the task in itself.

However, as a matter of course, there were conditions.

That is, for every 10 children I look after, I want at least one person to be employed as his assistant (in short, a nanny).

Honestly, I don't know if that number ratio is reasonable.

Considering the nursery school and kindergarten in the previous life, I thought that the number of people who take care of each nanny (father) may be a little larger.

However, Mizuchi was told, "I'm not satisfied with the tools, toys, and equipment, and it might be reasonable."

The total number of children I'm going to ask of him now is about 90.

About 50 of them are the children of my slaves. Of the children who are about 10 years old, mainly Samantha with bad legs, four people who do not have any work have to take care of them.

The remaining 30 or so are the children of my servants and their slaves.

When I opened a nursery, there were so many applications when I recruited applicants.

And the last few are "unnamed" under the age of eight at the moment.

I managed to find two more people to run around and take care of the children, but Lakshaz said it wasn't enough.

I don't know the request, but the sleeve that doesn't shake.

After explaining the current situation thoroughly and gaining an understanding, we will have to promise to increase the number of staff as soon as possible.

"I can't help it." Well then, from next month on.... "

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

As for the work I'm going to ask Lakshazz to do this time, the nursery is an experiment anyway.

Recently, she said that she wanted to marry slaves she had bought from Ronslie, or that she was beginning to have an atmosphere in which some people were about to turn out.

Because I was originally aiming for it, I think I should stick to it quickly. Sometimes there are more people who have reached adulthood, and I even feel irritated.

Especially in the Ronslells, the oldest couple, Marl and Rimby, are even seriously thinking about forcing them to marry.

It doesn't make me feel like I'm going to stick together, have a child, and contribute to my wealth increase... I guess my education is bad, after all.

Of course, I'm going to build a separate nursery for the children that the Ronslells give birth to.

For this reason, I would like to accumulate and incorporate collective childcare know-how as soon as possible.

And please take care of the building.

"Oh, I know. Don't worry, you'll build it by the end of the month."

The orphanage must be designed differently from the longhouse.

Well, there are things that I thought were for Australian merchants and lower-ranking aristocrats, so it would be possible to divert the size and floor plan of the room around the water, including the toilet and flush.

A bath?

I feel lavish with orphans, but I was wondering if I could make it at the same time.

Besides playing with mud, toddlers often get dirty with excrement (only aristocrats with higher incomes can luxuriously use cloth for things like diapers. I think it's just me at Beglitz), but I think I need a place where I can wash a whole lot of people efficiently.

After that, we consulted on scheduling the excavation to put in the foundation in the same way as the long house, and it was time for the next meeting.



September 19, 7451

In the evening.

The Balladique family.

Claw and Marie, who had finished their training for the day and had finished their dinner, were at ease.

On the floor, a puppy with brown hair and a puppy with black and white hair are cheering each other up.

Hahaha. Tallow's fine.

"So is Mick. He's like a brother to me."

The two are smiling at the state of the playing puppy.

The puppies are their companions.

They teach students to connect with their desk legs with short leads or hold them in their pockets, but they do not lack exercise because they exercise in an enclosed place like a dog run during afternoon strength adjustment training.

Feed was also provided, and it only seemed to be a little bigger than when I first received it.

Tallow, come here!

A brown puppy turns to Claw's call, but he doesn't follow the call and keeps swimming with the black-and-white puppy.

"Let's do this..."

With a bitter smile, Claw lifted up the puppies and gave Marie the puppy.

Ahhh, you've been pulled away by force.

That's what Marie says and burns her cheeks.

The puppy licked Marie's face like that.

"I'm tickling you already."

Marie doesn't feel bad either, but she's having fun getting her face dirty with saliva.

Ahahah, stop talking about it. It's gonna stink.

It doesn't seem to be fuller or fuller.

In addition, the parents of Claw, who lived with them, both said, "How dare you let a dog into your house. I can't believe it."

When they first brought the puppies back, they said, "What a dirty dog. Why did you pick it up?"

In contrast, Claw said, "They're training partners. Sir, I'm keeping it as part of my mission. If you get injured, it will be our responsibility, so don't touch me, don't talk to me."

The parents looked at the puppy hatefully and said, "Hmm. I can't stay with a dog." They retracted to their room and only came out at mealtime.

To this, both Claw and Marie thanked the puppies for the unexpected effect of having their parents cage them, who spoke to them no matter what, and were even more cute.

My mind is resting a lot.

In addition, the puppy, covered in fluffy soft hair, feels good, and can only hold and stroke it to soften it.

Hey, Claw.

What?

Claw replied as she stroked the dog to Marie, who spoke lightly.

"When Mee is finished, let's go..."

"... yes..."

Noticing that Marie's voice had slightly changed, Claw replied, shifting her gaze to Marie's face.

……

……

They tangled their gazes with each other and fell silent.

The hand that strokes the puppy stops.

The puppies twisted their bodies away from the two hands and started jumping on the floor again.

"It's about time we..."

"Yeah... that's right."

When buying this house, Claw wraps around his bedroom and doubles the walls of his parents' bedroom.

The effect had already been demonstrated.
