Since I’ve Reincarnated as the Villainess’ Father, I’ll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love
70 Excavation of Deacon Candidates
I was bringing Laurier to the territory today. Sasha left a message at home because of the distance. I was only a little obstinate, but when I left, I told her that I loved her for the first time. The purpose of going to the territory is the same for work, but also to thank Mint and Basil for their birthday celebrations. Well, it seems pretty odd that a lord would thank a resident for a gift, but that's what I would do because it's natural.
When I go around a few places of destination and then get to the orphanage, I am greeted by a man dressed like a priest.
"This is Lord Fall. Well done."
"Long time no see, Father. Thank you for your birthday."
Saying so, the priest, the head of the orphanage and the church, bowed his head respectfully.
"We are helped by the Duke of Fall in a variety of things. The kids came up with the idea that they wanted to give me back my gratitude."
"Really... how are the kids?
"Yeah, let's do that. We'll see you, won't we?
"Yeah, Laurier doesn't just talk about adults, she wants to stretch her feathers between kids, and I'm gonna let her come over."
"Then come here."
That's what they tell me. It's a small orphanage built next to the church. Are you just teaching reading and writing now? The kids are indoors. I don't know why you're teaching me to read and write when it's an orphanage... because, in terms of results, I brokered a teacher.
Knowledge is something that I don't have any trouble with in order to prepare various options after I grow up.
"Ah, it's the Duke!
With that in mind, an indoor child gathers to see if Laurier and I have noticed the existence of each other. The teacher bowed his head to me, smiling bitterly at the way things were going.
"It's been a while. Lord Fall."
"I'm sorry to interrupt your class."
"No, it's okay because it's just over."
"I see... Laurier, then play with everyone."
"Do you mind?
I said with a smile to Laurier leaning my neck.
"I don't mind if you don't get hurt."
"... Yes!
Laurier left the place with several girls after saying so. The priest said with a smile as he watched the condition.
"You're still good friends."
"Because she's a pretty girl. So... isn't there anything missing right now or something?
"Monthly assistance from the Duke is too much, so it's okay."
"Really... don't hesitate to say anything if there's an emergency."
When he said that, the priest laughed with relief before answering.
"There is no such thing as generous assistance outside our territory. Too much."
"I hope so. I want to do what I can to make my kids happy."
"I think we'd all be happy to just say those words. By the way... do you have enough manpower at the Duke's place?
"What happened to you suddenly?
The priest said with a laugh as he leaned his neck to the sudden question.
"In fact, there were several children who wanted to work in the Duke's house in the future. I'm still young, but I've finished my basic classes here, and I'd like the Duke to hire me if he likes it."
I think just a little bit when they say that. Since this orphanage offers education that will be needed in the future, from reading and writing to calculating, general common sense and manners, it is certainly likely that it can be used as a force of war...
"By the way, can I see those kids now?
"Yeah, of course."
After saying that, the priest sent a signal to the teacher and immediately brought four children. There are 3 girls and 1 boy. Besides, boys have different colors with both eyes. - Is that the one with the odd eye? But I don't think the boy looks familiar to me, but, yeah, I thought maybe it was because of me, so I talked to the four of them.
"The priest told me you guys wanted to work at home, but... is that true?
"Yes! We want to help the Duke!
"Hmm... are you sure you want to go home? If there's anything else you want to do, don't hesitate."
"The Duke has done us a lot of good... so I'd like to repay you a little!
What a special concern, but no matter how you look at it, he's only about 10 years old... well, should I accept this as a social study too? Fortunately, the children's background checks (albeit mostly orphans, so there are limitations) should be done to a certain extent, and if there is no problem, will you hire them?
I've been nervous since I laid eyes on the kids. I asked them nicely.
"May I ask your name?
"Mi, it's Miriam!
"... it's Yuri."
"It's Raina."
It's Miguel.
"Okay, so Miriam and Julie, Rayna, as a samurai, will be briefly trained first before they work... but Miguel, I'm sure you'll be asked to come in as a butler apprentice, but is that okay?
When I heard that, they all nodded, and then Miguel gave me a good glance and said:
"I would do anything to help the Duke. Leave it to me!
I'm glad you're well, but... now, do you want me to put you in Zeke's glasses for our Deacon? Well, as far as I'm concerned, if that's all you're willing to do, I'm going to leave the rest to Sieg's discretion... but I feel like I'm not going to do anything to be appreciated, and I was going to talk to those kids until Laurier got back.
