Price of Management

Sis is an incomprehensible child, so even so, this Julia...... she doesn't really like me.

Oh, right.

Come to think of it, Julia is the number two of our merchant guild.

The original organization's second act is to fart in order to be seen by the first to protect its position.

I'm sure you're just trying to impress me. Yes, of course.

“Honey, let's eat. ”

And I took Julia away.

“Tsk.”

Julia backs away with a piercing face. But Sis still does not leave my arms.

Sis is cute, so she doesn't have a thumb to pull off. Julia flinches.

“Mr. Wooey! Why is it always me?! Sis, come out here. The Lord said he had something to eat. ”

Julia took cis away from me.

You scared me, second-rate jealousy.

My Caroc Merchant Guild operates two businesses.

One is Caroc Weapons.

The other is the Caroc Pharmaceutical Award.

The grain business is not so big anymore, so I folded it up.

The Caroc Armory entrusted to Julia and the Caroc Pharmaceutical Chamber to Hansen for business.

Hansen was originally a fool, but he seemed to be doing well because he had a wife's mother in the son of a pharmacy house.

And Julia...

He grew up a Caroc Weapons Depot just like a fish that met water.

My role, of course, in promoting the Meutt Duke was great, but I moved quickly, including hiring more artisans and pottery in response to spilled orders and expanding production facilities.

Sis, an accountant, handed it over to Julia.

It was because the Caroc Armory was so big that they also needed more secretarians.

With Sis helping Julia, Julia's work has gone much faster. One calculation was an extremely fast sheath, I don't know what else.

Is it me?

Play.

The crisis, such as the Great Plague, the Territory, and the Black Plague, was over, so my family no longer needed my help.

The Merchants Guild is very good at what they do.

Of course, I'll play hard to get, so I'll leave the work to you! ’There are some people who will get up. Like Julia, the complainer.

So I started playing at the mansion with an excuse to come up with a new business and plan ahead.

No one argued because my business achievements for two years were significant. You all think I have a lot on my plate about my business, right?

But I sat down on a chair in the courtyard in front of the mansion and read for free.

Norm and Woundee play with the dirt. The gnome makes the castle out of clay and the moat is flooded by Wounded water around the walls.

Ah, is this a relaxed and happy retirement life?

I kept reading after taking my eyes off the cute spirits.

It's called "The Ride of the Horn Empire," and it's quite interesting because it explains the history and customs of the Horn Empire and it's also accompanied by pictures.

But then they came around me, poking around to see if they were tired of each other's gnomes and undees.

- Master, what are you doing?

“Let's read a book. ”

- You having fun?

“Yes, moderately. But of course, it's no more fun than playing with our gnomes! ”

Then I lifted my gaze and kissed him. Noum I like with a smile.

Undine swirled around my head.

“Yes, we like our oudines too! ”

Wounded also hugged and kissed me. Undine has now grown to the size of gnome.

Spirits and spirits influence each other's growth. I, the intermediate spirit, was influenced by Wounded's growth rate very quickly. At this rate, Woundee seems to be evolving into an intermediate spirit soon.

Phew, grow up, my cubs.

But I heard a voice disturbing my rest.

“Baron!"

“Why?”

A family soldier came with a middle-aged man dressed in shabby clothes.

The soldier points to a shabby middle-aged man.

“This man is looking for the baron. ”

“Who is it?”

“The baron's territory.... ”

“My territory? Where is my territory...? ”

“You know what? You were sergeant in Vatan last year! Heheh heh. Have you forgotten? We were just waiting for the Lord Ominous to join us.... ”

A middle-aged man suddenly began to burst into song.

Oh, dear.

I was in the camp.

A title and territory awarded for selling 35,000 sacks of wheat to the royal court. It was the territory of Vatan. I forgot because it was only a small population of soybeans.

“Yes, now I remember. I was the lord. Why is that? ”

“I was wondering when you'd come to the territory.... ”

“Yes, I'm sorry I forgot about you. But if you come, do I have to go? ”

I said the middle-aged man was flawed.

“Oh, no. It's not like that... ”

“The Royal Administration will continue to take care of it before I receive it. It shouldn't be a problem after all this time. What brings you all the way out here looking for me? I am busy in many ways. ”

“My lord. There was a problem, so this humble thing came all the way here.... ”

The middle-aged man cried.

In fact, I was playing idly with the spirits, so I was stabbed in my conscience.

“Problem?”

“The Royal Attendant got caught running away from work. ”

“…… Huh? ”

What the hell are you talking about?

Why would a royal official in charge flee and be captured by someone?

A middle-aged man said.

“We caught you trying to escape and locked you in the Oval Office... No, you brought me here. If there is no one to rule us, how can we live? ”

…… ugh.

* * *

The middle-aged man's name was Hans. Such a plain and innocent name. Hans was among the Dean mercenaries.

Hans explained:

Baron Deckard, a Royal Conservator, said he's been able to manage the territory well since he was a young man.

It seemed quite competent because the territory that had been destroyed since his commission had become more prosperous.

However, I began to lose more and more. During the crisis, such as the Great Plague and Black Blood, many people fell overwhelmed by fatigue. Whenever I have a chance, I drink alcohol and 'It ends soon. When the lord joined them, it would be over... "

However, even after a year had passed, the Lord (I) never came to receive the land.

Moreover, when the new crisis hit the territory, Jeron said that his patience had run out.

“I'll get rid of it all! I don't give a shit! This isn't living! ”

Jeron, who was packing his bags and sleepwalking around, was caught by the colonists who were usually detecting strange spikes.

He is currently working in an office with an annuity. Stubborn because he doesn't want to work. If he doesn't work, he's taken extreme measures that won't feed him.

Thus, I was continuing to work on eating the mustard while crying, but everyday Jeron's body was destroyed, so Hans came looking for me.

“ ……. ”

I feel very sorry for that fellow, Jeron Deckard.

But you know what?

I don't want to be part of the ruling group if it's such a tough territory.

“Jeron, tell him to work hard, 'cause I'll confiscate the territory's financials, but I won't tell him anything. Well, aren't you eager to work hard? ”

Hans looks at me like I'm crazy.

“Jeron would never do that. And what's with the outfit and all the people in the territory are gonna die, and you care about that? ”

“Yes? Everyone dies? Why?”

“The Orcs have settled in our territory. ”

“Ah……. ”

I understand you were trying to escape. I want to run away too.

If it's an Orc tribe, there must be at least 300 of them, but it won't be easy to handle in that small territory.

“If I had 300 of them, I would have done it by now. They say it's more than 1,000 tribes. As soon as I heard the news, Jeron got caught on the run.... ”

I really don't have an answer.

I don't want to go to that area.

I turn my head away from Hans and say,

“I wish I could, but I'm so busy right now... ”

“My lord! ”

“Oh, not yet. I haven't received my handover yet. ”

“Please don't do that and save us! ”

“I think he's really talented. Tell him to work hard, because I will post a letter to the royal court to give him a promotion. ”

“That's why! A promotion isn't the problem when all the Orcs are about to kill them! Ugh!”

Oh, let go.

I've been working really hard this year.

I was about to take a break. What's all the fuss about? I need time to recharge, too.

And 1,000 Orcs?

“Actually, I'm very unwell right now... ”

“Hehehe! Lord, please! ”

Oh, come on!

* * *

In the end, I was so kind that I decided not to turn my back on the crisis of the colonists.

If there were 1,000 Orcs, we would need mercenaries. So I asked you to go to the mercenary guild and call Dean's mercenaries. Because Dean's mercenaries were the most reliable.

Yeah, Dean's mercenaries might as well settle on our territory.

Dean was quite a useful talent. I thought I could make it work if I appointed him a knight and let him manage the army.

“Uh-huh, it was really good of you to give Dean some money for his investment. You can use it in times like this. ”

Dean will accompany me to the territory of Vatan where the Orcs have settled, even because of his debt or loyalty.

And did you say Jeron Deckard?

That Royal Attendant friend seems to be quite talented, too.If we can overcome this Orc crisis, I'll make it easy for him to equip us. If I made Jeron my lord's successor and knighted Dean to rule the army, the two combos would take good care of my territory.

My fists were clenched because it was a great combination, even though I thought of it.

If there was anything I had learned in my past life, I didn't have to do it.

There is a lot of talent in the world, and I am just an ordinary person with no talent.

Of course, hiring talent is an effective judgment.

Look at Julia Lauren!

How well do you run an armory now that you're sitting in the chair of Caroc Armory? The better Julia does, the more money I have.

I was going to rule my territory with talent like a Carrock Armory.

Dean's mercenaries arrived a week later.

Director Dean and Deputy Director Rex.

And there are 50 members under the command.

He was a highly strategic mercenary, with a unified arsenal and well-formulated training.

“Baron Caroc! I heard that he was calling me and came in a hurry. ”

“Since we've met, should we have a drink first? ”

Good to see you, Dean and Lex.

I was happy to see you too.

“Okay, let's harass Max again in a long time. ”

“Haha! That's good! ”

“The baron will shoot. Rumor has it he's been making a lot of money lately. ”

“Don't worry about the money. I have money! ”

I shouted curiously and Rex cheered.

Dean told his crew.
