Price of Management

Chapter 7. Caroc's minions

After the party was shut down, my family had a long time to come together and enjoy the dinner. Arthur, who was appointed as a Gaza, had a son, so he was truly a single face all the time.

“Arthur. For the record, I will teach your son. He will be the direct successor of the traditional knight family, Earl Kunt, so this is not conceivable. ”

According to the father who was sitting on the table because he was the eldest, Arthur nodded his head.

“Of course I agree. However, I also cannot concede the issue of naming my son. ”

“Tsk, do whatever you want. If you fight with your name again, the name of the Kunt family may have a tradition of getting a royal pedigree. ”

Everyone laughed at that.

Eleanor, a craftsman named after King Eric, was eating on the lap of Noon. When Norm teased the fork and knife with his Earth hand and brought the food, he opened his mouth like a bird.

Oh, that's cute.

I'm already three. Kids grow up really fast.

Eleanor was very happy to be with him. Noum was also fond of Eleanor, who had a spiritual affinity.

As soon as you saw me, "Uncle! Spirit, Spirit! ’It was Elene. Like a child born of Spirit Affinity, the spirit was very good.

Elena said as soon as my eyes met mine.

“Uncle!”

“Huh?"

“Can't I just have one spirit? ”

“…… Huh? ”

Elena hugs him.

“I want my gnome. Don't take Noum, okay? ”

“Elena, the gnome is inseparable from me. ”

“Then don't go. ”

“I want to, but I have to go to work. ”

“No! Don't go! ”

Elena starts to cry.

I looked at Arthur with an embarrassed look on my face.

Arthur turned away, shaking his head in embarrassment. Arthur was also very fragile to the weary Eleanor. You stupid little girl!

Luckily, his brother-in-law Leyra left.

“Elena, I told you not to take it out on me, right? ”

“Ahhhh!”

Cough.

Elena starts to burst into tears.

“I can do anything for my beloved granddaughter, but I can't do anything but the spirit. I wish I had mastered spirituality... ”

Even my foolish father cried and mourned.

As I grew older and didn't listen, Rey asked me with an embarrassing look on his face.

“Earl Ligand. ”

I don't call you Young Master because I've become the owner of a new family.

“Go ahead, sir. ”

“Can't you teach my elene spirituality? ”

“Of course I can teach you. You can also learn Spirit Affinity without the herd of highly born elennae. ”

“Then teach me. He usually asks when he'll be back. The spirit seems to be in good spirits. ”

“Of course, I'm willing to teach Elene generously. But I'm only three years old, and that's the question of whether it's a good time to get into animosity. ”

“What does that mean? ”

Arthur asked.

I sighed and explained.

“Summoning a Spirit will consume Spirit Affinity. When I was a minor spirit, I had a limit of about three hours to keep summoning. Spirit Affinity is a kind of mental energy consumed, so you get tired and you fall asleep. Now do you have any idea what I'm worried about? ”

Arthur nodded.

“You're worried that Elena will lose her spiritual affinity without restraint because she's busy playing with spirits. ”

“Yes. If you spend all your spiritual affinity, you should get a good night's sleep. It's a crucial time to learn and learn, and there's nothing to do but play and spirits. ”

“Can't we just adjust it properly? ”

Leyra asked.

I shook my head.

“No one can interfere in the relationship between a Spirit and a Spirit. I don't want you to think that you can properly control the two of you sharing a soul. That's why most of the original spirits were not very good at social activities. You don't want to come out of the spirit and your beautiful world. ”

“Then shouldn't we be teaching them spirituality? It's a shame you have that talent. ”

“If you make a lot of friends and clearly know your obligations, maybe you should teach them. ”

If I learn spirituality already, I won't even try to make friends by being distracted by spirits.

“That would be nice. ”

Arthur accepted and nodded.

“Uncle, the Spirit! ”

Elene stopped crying, and Arthur and Leyra said at the same time.

“No! ”

“Ahhhh!”

Thanks to this, the dinner ended in a rather rowdy atmosphere.

After a long time, the men of the Kunt family, my father and my three brothers, drank beer outside.

“Rick, is the Royal Special Forces doing all right? ”

“You must be doing well. ”

Rick drinks a big beer and behaves irresponsibly like everyone else.

“The Commander is your brother. As expected, you're leaving everything to the deputy commander, Count Bautel. ”

“Didn't you tell me that before? My motto is to play a good role with each other. ”

“Do you know how many letters of authenticity come from him wanting to retire? Since His Excellency Duron retired, his appetite for retirement has increased. ”

“Huh? No, what am I supposed to do when he retires? ”

“So get a grip on yourself and build some leadership skills you don't need. ”

“Anyway, why don't you retire the Bautel until I say I'm done? ”

“Phew, what if there's a real war…. ”

It only sighs at Rick's unanswered attitude.

When Arthur saw this, he smiled and said.

“But don't worry. He's doing his job even when he sees it. The Royal Special Forces have also made military arrangements with ligand territory and are training with our Kunt family. At least I don't think the Horn Empire has to worry about invading the route to the Baden River. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Don't you know yet? ”

I was surprised by Arthur's continued explanation.

Ligand territory, the Kunt family, Rick's Royal Special Forces, and the Condor Corps have agreed to form a cooperative system to repel the invasion of the Horn Empire at the same time.

“I'm the only one who didn't know. ”

“You put the lord in charge so that you wouldn't care about the work in the territory anyway. It seems to me that your lord, the Vale, is quite a man. If the strategy works, the Horn Empire on the Baden River will have nothing to worry about. Oh, of course, your consent is required to participate in the Condol Cavalry. ”

“Of course I'm in favor. I was surprised that I had come up with such an amazing strategy without even knowing it. ”

I can't believe this veil was just a bandit monster. Scouts surprised me more.

I just appointed a lieutenant because I wanted to do something about the territory. I did not expect anything more.

Suddenly, Vale has gone above and beyond the boundaries of its work, and has established a countermeasure to my only concern, the threat of the Horn Empire invasion. This is a really, really big feeling.

Arthur smiled at me when he was surprised.

“I know you carry a heavy burden as a treasure trove. But don't think of yourself carrying that burden alone. Leave the Horn Empire army invading the Baden River to us. ”

That's what Rick nods.

“Of course! Above all, there is this body, the greatest genius error master. What are you afraid of?”

“If anyone's listening, I think he's the best. ”

My father, who was still drinking beer, murmured. Then he starts fighting with his dull brother Rick.

Arthur and I laughed joyfully to see those two.

Three realizations.

I'm sure I have a family.
