Price of Management

This summer will be remembered as a stormy time.

He met numerous giants, including Grand Duke Duron, and sold more than 30,000 Sachets earning a total of 60,000 Redinas and won over a dozen military deals.

They got rid of all the hard work in the summer, even though other people spent their whole lives doing it.

When I finished selling Sachsel, I spurred on the establishment of a very large armory.

The armory hasn't even started construction yet, but I've signed over a dozen military contracts. I've lived one more life, and the momentum has increased greatly.

When the architect Laban completed the blueprints of the very large armory, he entered the construction.

I put 4200 Redinas and Arthur put 2800 Redinas into the family fund because Arthur and I decided to make it six to four.

“The blueprints are here. ”

Laban gives out the completed blueprint. Me, Julia, and Goose looked at the blueprints.

“Hmm, Goose inspiration. How does it look?"

When I asked, Old Gus nodded satisfactorily.

“Excellent design, Baron. This structure is comfortable for craftsmen to work in. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“I've given it a lot of thought. ”

Laban proudly said.

Julia also seemed to like the design.

“There are two separate workshops and offices. I was worried about the noise in the workshop, and I'm glad. ”

“Oh, you recognize it. I've also taken that into account, and I'm going to set up two separate buildings, and I'm going to put a binder in between, and I'm going to silence them. ”

Indeed, Laban seemed to be skilled as an experienced architect.

“Good. Let's get started, shall we? Noum!”

- Did you call him?

A gnome protruding from the ground like always.

It was cute whenever I saw a 12-year-old girl holding a shovel bigger than her size. Julia continued to lift her head and stroke her head.

I showed Norm the blueprints.

“Noum, we have to make this. ”

- What the hell is this?

“This is a blueprint. I painted it before I made the building. ”

- Is this a picture?

Noonum stares at the blueprint with an interested face. It seemed to be aroused by a curiosity that was spiritual.

But Noonum tilted his head.

- Master, I don't know. What the hell is this?

Laban answered the question instead.

“The Spirit... No, Master Noum. This is a pillar, and the number next to it represents the size.... ”

Laban explained things with his blueprints. It's a little funny that he respects gnome.

However, it was not easy to recognize the blueprint at first glance for Noon, who had no knowledge of design at all.

Seeing Nova tilting her head in Laban's explanation, I thought of a good idea after thinking about it.

“Norm, shall we go clay? ”

Yeah, I want to play with the owner!

Whatever it was, it was all good to play.

“Let's make this building small out of clay. ”

“Oh, that's a great idea. I'm going to preview the model and point out what went wrong. We'll just have to practice a few times. ”

The Lapan agreed with my opinion.

I summoned Wounded.

As soon as Woundee was summoned, she kissed my cheek.

“Woundee, sprinkle water on the ground and make mud. ”

- …… Yes.

Woundee creates a puddle of mud. Then Norm began to build a small size building, touching the mud with his loving hands. Woundee was also curious to see if she was doing it.

- Sis... what are you doing?

We need to build the same thing as that blueprint.

- Me too...

Looks like Wounded wanted in, too.

Norm strokes Wounded's head.

- Okay, I'll let you do the same. Woundee continues to spray water so the mud doesn't dry up.

- …… Yes.

How cute are the two spirits playing with impure mud? We watched them with a very contented expression. Ah, those pretty things!

Noum quickly completed the building. It was the design of a staging point consisting of two buildings.

Laban points out a few things while looking carefully at them.

“This column needs to be thicker and the roof has an arch to hold the weight... Ah, do you know what an arch is, Norm? ”

As he listens to Laban's story, Noonum continues to wiggle through the mud.

About 10 minutes later, a supermini-sized armory was completed.

“Yes, it's perfect. ”

Laban said, startled. I didn't expect to learn so soon.

I stroked the gnome.

“Phew, my gnome did a great job. I feel like a genius. ”

- Am I a genius?

“Of course!”

- Heheh heh, I'm a genius.

Norm liked it with pride. Then Wounded circled around me. It was also an expression of something that asked me to praise him.

“Yeah, Wounded did good, too. ”

-... Yes!

I also complimented Wounded her.

Anyway, after the warm-up, I decided to build the building.

“Noum, this time we need to build it to the size of the blueprints. And we need to make buildings out of stone, not mud. ”

- Master's tired.

Norm was worried about me.

He also said that no matter how much spirit affinity I had with the Intermediate Spirit, I couldn't build a building this big at once.

I stroked his head and said,

“It's okay. You don't have to make it all at once, you just have to finish it over a few days. ”

- Yeah, I got it.

I was nervous and swallowed my saliva as I twisted my shovel with my pointy hand.

He should be prepared for the agony of spiritual affinity being consumed in a heartbeat. I'm going to lie on my back tonight.

At last, Norm dips his shovel into the ground.

Kuku Ball Bow!

The rising walls of massive rocks on the earth were truly spectacular.

“Th, my God! ”

“That's the power of animosity...! ”

What a miraculous sight! Neither Julia nor Goose could keep their mouths shut and looked at the scene.

But I was a desperate party.

“Grrrgh!"

It was painful to feel a large amount of spiritual affinity escaping. In other words, the pain of a sharp scream, a tearing of your eardrums and a ringing of your head?

Spiritual affinity was consumed as if the water was leaking from a bottomless jar.

By the time Noum had completed about 30% of the massive armory buildings, I was staggering into exhaustion.

Then Norm stopped working.

- Master, are you all right?

Norm and Woundee stare worried at me, stumbling.

“Yeah, I'm just a little tired. I'll call you again tomorrow. Go home today. ”

-Yeah.

Norm and Woundee go back to that.

I whispered to Old Gus.

“Old Goose, give me a boost. ”

“Fourth!”

It was not Goose who hugged me, but Julia who shouted vigorously.

Old Gus, who tried to support me, looks at Julia with a flaw.

“Will the boss take care of the baron? ”

I was already the Goose inspiration who called Julia the boss. Julia nods vigorously.

“Yes, master craftsman. Leave it to me.I 'll take our Lord with me. ”

No, I think he ate something wrong. And since when are you "we" short?

“…… dear. ”

“Yes, shorty. ”

“Can you straighten it up for me? Don't hug me.”

“Uheeheehee, okay. ”

Julia lifts me up and closest to me. I feel more uncomfortable walking on Julia's back. Moreover, I was embarrassed that her breasts touched my side.

“Joe, do it right. ”

“Okay, hehe. ”

“I can't. Hey, Goose Young... ”

“Come on, let's go! ”

Julia starts walking me around screaming.

Thanks to my fatigued stomach, I reached the inn room as soon as I arrived.

I was so tired that I couldn't wake up until after lunch the next day.

As soon as I awoke, I summoned Norm to rebuild the massive armory building, and as I ran out of spirit friendliness, I went back to the inn and fell out.

After doing the same thing for four days, the facade of the building was barely completed.

“Ugh…. If there were so many Spirits, all the builders like me would starve to death. ”

Laban looks at the finished building in just four days and mutters in disbelief.

In front of us stands a very large armory. It consisted of a workshop, an office, and two buildings.

Of course, it wasn't finished.

There were no doors, windows, window frames, roofs, etc. but only a rocky building exoskeleton was completed. Of course, that was great. I did more than half the construction work on my own in four days.

I asked Laban.

“How long do you think it will take for the armory to be completed? ”

“The building is almost finished, so a full day should be enough to complete the other small construction. However, installing bellows, furnaces, and silverware in each workshop takes longer. In fact, most of the 7,000 Redinas are spending money on making those facilities. ”

“You just have to complete it by the end of the day. ”

“Very well. Let's hurry. ”

After the story, I called Julia apart.

“Julia, you're the boss of the armory now. You know what you have to do. ”

“Yes, I will hire ten general craftsmen, 30 pottery workers, and 10 office staff and start producing the weapons to deliver as soon as the armory is complete. ”

“You know that. Now, I'll leave the rest to you. ”

I gave Giulia the 10,000 Redyna royal bills in my arms.

“Ugh! Just doing my job! ”

Julia shudders.

Tsk, tsk, you've never touched a note labeled 10,000 Redina before.

But her eyes are upside down, so I'm a little nervous. You're not gonna bounce off that bill, are you?

At that moment, I had an ominous imagination in my head.

Julia Lauren, with the 10,000 Redina bills I gave her. It is used as capital to raise a merchant guild to exert its dominion and to shake its name by being called the "Lady of Gold"....

Hahaha. No way.

But I was scared because I imagined it so realistic.

“Joo, it's Julia. ”

“Yes, shorty. ”

“Hmmm. Can't you just bounce with that? ”

“What?! ”

Julia's furious.

“You don't trust me now? ”

“Oh, no, it's not like that. ”

“That's too much! ”

Julia looks sad.

Ugh. What's wrong with him?

Surprised, I had to appease her.

“Well, I'm just kidding. ”

“ ……. ”

Julia bows her head and says nothing. I was sweating cold.

“Okay, I'm sorry. Huh?”

“… then buy me a gift. ”

“Huh?"

“You bought Cis a present before. Buy me one too."

He seemed to be referring to buying a blue summer robe when he was reunited with Sis at Ledon Castle.

“Okay, I'll buy you one. ”

“Is it true?"

Julia starts laughing as if she was hurt. I realized that I had been deceived by that disgusting smile.

“You, you! ”

“Heeheehee. Shorty. Short Lord, when it comes to business, he speaks like a very skilled giant, but he seems to have a crush on women. ”

“... Hnng. ”

Yeah, it is.

Because I once tasted the bitterness of a bad marriage.

I was fooled, but I made a promise, so I had to buy a gift. I'll buy you the right one when I get a chance. Ew.
