The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

He reported to the store that he had returned with his face on and received a report of his absence.

As usual, there didn't seem to be any problems, but they have two things to contact today apart from work.

"This is Weitzen sending you"

Mr. Callum sends out a letter and the desk in the clerk's office is loaded with two framed letters.

Weitzen... I think I heard it somewhere... Ah, the name of Mr. Fina's village! I totally forgot what it said on their resume. That's right, that was the name...

"Is the sender the village chief of Weitzen?"

… report on the decision to manufacture and sell wheat tea in the village and thank me.

Apparently, the unity of will of the village and the cooperation with the Sionji Chamber of Commerce are going well, and the processing of the barley stored in each household is flourishing, and the construction of a processing plant capable of working for a larger number of people and the production of barley, which will become materials, is also being planned in consultation with Piolo.

Received my references and samples, and it looks like the head of the meeting gave me a lift. At that time, he also bought the excess grain, except for barley, and so on... Anyway, it is conveyed that he is pleased.

And as a token of my gratitude, they're giving me a letter of thanks and my status as a "consultant" at the Weitzen Village Wheat Tea Factory, with two framed contents.

This advisor seems to be treated like an honorary position and has no job, duties or responsibilities. There is no reward, but you can send me tea leaves made regularly in the name of consulting on flavour and quality.

"Congratulations on your appointment as a Consultant"

"Thank you"

It's not like I'm gonna do anything, but if I can get it for now, I'll take it.

"Another contact."

"Yes, I've heard a few rumors that bother me… There seems to be a rumor going around these days among slum dwellers that they will" crush slum streets to build new ones "and" kick out residents ""

"That's not peaceful, is it?"

What do you mean? No, I know what you're saying. I don't see why that happens.

That's the same with Mr. Callum, who immediately investigated the matter.

"I checked through the commercial guild that the bureau does not have such a plan. But... before we took office here, there was a bureau scandal, wasn't there?

"Yeah, so we talked about the new head taking office... not trusted?

"It seems so. Things seem to have ended for the first time with the disposition and replacement of those responsible, but I guess we have not been able to regain the credibility we lost there. You look suspicious."

I don't know...

A man face-to-face at the inaugural ceremony floats in the back of his brain.

It's tough on that guy who was entrusted with the aftermath of his predecessor...

"Does that affect anything, the store of the house?

"Nothing so far. But I also heard that people who have lived in slums over the past few days are looking for work and visiting stores that are actively seeking jobs. This store is not currently offering jobs, but it could push you to hire one. If so, we should decide what to do."

"Right...... so far, do I need to refill my manpower?

Though I can afford to pay my salary, the store is circling enough even with current personnel. Is there any reason why we should rush to more people right now, even if we are going to have more shops in the future? I can't think of anything.

But our store has been helped by the slums since the beginning of its opening. Many of my acquaintances are from slums. If you're in trouble, you want to help.

"I know it depends on people, but I've worked with you guys so far and I'm not so bad impressed with the slums in this city"

"At first, I imagined something more dangerous."

"I think the majority of them are just like that imaginary. It's not uncommon for a place to not even get into the guard if it's a big city. If you think about it, the slums in this city are safe enough to go into environmental research."

Really... well, that's what we talked about.

You could carry baggage about your job, but even if you have too many hands... a lot?...... Can I get more manpower during busy hours with a lot of customers? You think you'll hire that time only part-time? That reduces the burden for one person, and if it's anything, you can add more contact points. If the rotation rate increases for that amount, the customer's waiting time will also be reduced.

And I'll suggest what comes to mind.

"What do you say?

"We need to make direct contact with the prior interview and the prevention of kidnapping of cleaner slimes...... it's not like we're going to waste more people, and I was wondering if it's bad. If you have a prospect, you can be a full employee candidate."

"So can we please do that policy?

"Yes, I did. That's all for today."

"Thank you for everything. Thanks again in 5 days"

"I'll take care of it. By the way, manager, can we do this today?

"Right...... just go home and check the scrap pit. Because if you live in something while you're away, you have to get rid of it."

"You've just returned from your journey, so take a good rest"

"Thank you"

At the end of the report, Mr. Callum goes to the table. I decided to let you leave early because I was sweet with your words.

"Whoa."

As I walked down the road along the residential street towards the North Gate, I smelled refreshing and sweet.

The scent originated in... this house?... Is that it? Shop here?

“Coffee shop/cat forehead opening”

I thought it was a wooden house with a plaque size sign next to the entrance.

Speaking of which, it's time for noon... shall we eat something? Or can I come in?

It says it's open but there are no customers in or out, and the letters on the little sign are cluttered...... there is no denying the possibility of children playing with each other.

"What are you doing in that place? Dear Takebayashi,"

"Hmm...... ah!

He is a neat figure in the direction in which his voice was heard, a figure of a man with a little tired little bag on his side. The current director of the bureau was there.

"Hello"

"Yes, hello. Is Master Takebayashi eating too?

"I stopped by this scent, wondering if it would be good to come in"

"I see. Because it does look like a private house here. I got lost at first too. How would you like to join us, if you don't mind?

I was invited to lunch. I'm hungry, and because of that, let me come with you.

"There you are."

"Same tea and daily sandwich as usual. Lamon pie after dinner, please. There's two of us today, so double the usual."

"Sit down."

When you step inside the store, the counter is on the front. Ahead sat an elderly Cat woman, who disappeared behind the store after receiving an unscrupulous order from Master Bernheid.

"Come on, this way, please."

Guided by the way he was used to it was a seat for four people installed on the wall to the right towards the counter.

There's another identical seat on the left, but these two are in the store. Looks like all seats for eight.

"This store is not as big as you can see. There are also only three types of menus that I ordered earlier. But all the flavors are pretty good."

"Heh. Can you come here well?

"Right. I've been there about 5 days a week lately."

That's pretty much every day...

"I will buy the rest of the two days near the bureau. I can't cook myself."

"Looks like you're busy. I heard you're building a new city to the south."

"Did you know? But now its preparatory phase. We're going to be busy."

I saw the look on his face when he said so, wearing it with a colleague from a previous life.

"... sorry if it was different. Aren't you a lot tired?

"Was it on your face?

"No, I used to see people with similar vibes there, so somehow"

Then he looked at me and he sighed one loud sigh.

"Apparently, there's no point in fixing it."

"How are you?"

Then I listened while eating the sandwich that arrived.

It was understated, but to sum it up, “problems pile up." I'm done with this one word.

First, the current bureau was the pus of the organization. A large number of humans were disposed of, headed by the former director. This leaves me feeling a little understaffed. We are replenishing new staff, but it is hard to say that it is instant combat.

Officials of ancient ginseng who were spared from firing can do their job, but they could not defy the former director by being wielded power. Though there is room for circumstantial discretion, few seem to atrophy and lack aggressiveness.

"... it's tough, isn't it? Really..."

"Do you have an official like that there?

"Oh, no, I'm happy with those who work in the store. A little before that."

Well, if we keep talking about this, we're going to lose it.

... Speaking of which, you didn't talk about slums just talking about the bureau. What do you think, actually?

I'll swing by.

"Did you know that too...... the new city's construction plan does not include anything like evicting the residents of the slums. I don't mean to either. But..."

He frowned and drank tea.

Something seems to be causing this. Probably a complicated, headache problem.

"There are people in that area who don't have a house and who make a living on the street. And a large number of roads are obstructed from passage by their temporary dwellings, as well as those living in ruins that obviously do not meet safety standards.

… we are asking those people to remove, transfer or make appropriate repairs to their possessions. This is a law-abiding measure, and failing to do so would be a dereliction of duty. "

... has that become a rumor of being "kicked out of the city” at some point around?

"I checked the records for accidents caused by house collapse or damage. And in winter, the number of frozen deaths of street dwellers has been on the increase over the past few years. It is not preferable to leave it like this"

But he also doesn't believe that slum dwellers can request immediate relocation or repair. I understand their nostalgia is painful. So also taking into account the reactions of the inhabitants, we do not consider forced evictions, and the current situation is only reserved for requests. Currently, they also have a specialist countermeasure department, which may also have the purpose of preparing a receptacle for job seekers for city building.

But it would be another difficult issue to handle with street people.

"Right. But it is our duty and duty to do everything possible to reduce it in a way that is not an exclusion."

"I admire you"

... or was there no such problem when the previous rep?

Could that kind of work have been out of hand...?

"Ramon pie."

"Oh, thank you!?

What is this? Pie on a plate. But why is there one whole hall cake on it? This for two?

"I'll clean up the empty plates."

And another plate of ramon pie will be placed in the empty space, one for one!

"This is..."

"... sorry. It seemed bad that I ordered the usual double."

"As always, the whole thing for dessert every time?

"I can't do it at once, so I'll take the rest back to work breaks. When I get tired, I want something sweet."

I look embarrassed in front of the pie, I'm laughing for the first time today, but isn't this guy, Diabetic Totally What...

I take a sip, too, thinking.

... exquisitely delicious with the warmth of the rustic dough and the cream with the refreshing aroma and acidity of the ramon. They seem to have less sugar, but I have enough for a couple of pieces... let's bring the rest back.

……

Arnold Bernheid.

He keeps carrying pie into his mouth in the most relaxed way he's ever seen.

... I guess it's a slight healing between harsh tasks, and I don't want to imitate watering down the fun because of it.
