The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

"I know very well that you don't like your cramped position. I'm not trying to force you either."

Why don't you be a technician? Immediately after the solicitation.

Mr. Reinhardt tells me he understands that before I say anything.

"For the same reason, I don't think you will ever try to serve another nobleman. But the problem is, if you listen to your knowledge, serum, etc., there are definitely (...) aristocrats out there who want to hold your feelings without even considering the fine dust. You know that, don't you?

Nod silently and respond.

Even if you take one curse wound special effect, if it spreads to the public, it's only natural that patients and their families want it.

There will also be merchants and aristocrats who sell to such people at high prices and seek to profit.

Unfortunately, it's weirder that there aren't people out there who don't choose the means to take away their rights.

"If that happens, we're going to help you, but it's hard to do as it is now."

My position at the moment has been better for the Duke's family, but “civilians".

Not even a minister in the Duke's house, but, if I say so, "a child who is just a little blinded”.

Especially since, still, there would normally be less extra handouts.

In case anyone is stunned by the Duke's house of immense power, I want to avoid it.

A boy who is one adventurer, owner of a small shop and entrusted with the management of abandoned mines.

Even if I had a slightly different idea or knowledge, that would still seem enough (...).

"But I have the knowledge to make" curse wound special effects, "so it's a different story. Even though we have great power, there's no way to defy it."

I only have a premonition of a plot...... my wife seems to have guessed and laughed bitterly.

"I probably won't deny what you're thinking, but think more simply. Right... Lyoma, you're in a position to decide whatever you want about your store, and you have the right to do that, right? But if you try to be too rude, people will stop you, won't they? It depends on what it's about, and once or twice you might miss it, but if it goes on and on, you could lose the credibility of the people around you. Same thing. We have strong powers, but we can't shake them all we want.

In this case... Lyoma, if you're going to be our engineer, this kid is our engineer, and I refuse to pull him out because he doesn't feel like it either. I can strongly say, if it stays the way it is, it's not my men, and I'm not willing to subordinate you, but don't pinch your mouth! That's what they say.

Of course, we'll fix it on the face of it, and I don't think it's easy to pull it off, at least, for a good reason to give merit the status it deserves. That's all it's worth. "

If we didn't talk about this here, and keep the serum in secret, we might not have a problem.

But it will live with the risk of leakage to the outside world for the rest of its life.

It also has the potential to spread knowledge of bloody slime and serum and to cope with other diseases as well as curse wounds if research flourishes. I can't predict how big this will be either, but it could save a lot of lives that are supposed to be lost. Hiding it is very hard to describe without a body.

"… technician, can you tell me a little more about the position of What exactly would be the change if you were told?"

"Right. As I said earlier, technicians can be held by nobles. I ask you to do your job when you need it and show your skill. Or get a technical consultation. If you can do that, you're free to work. Many highly skilled craftsmen have a hard time understanding.

For example, in our case… "Pharmaceutical” technicians work in dwellings, but “Blacksmith” technicians usually do business by setting up workshops and shops in the town's civil districts. I don't mean to be able to hold them, but I'm not going to keep and kill the craftsmen with a monopoly on superior technology. "

If you can reach me, I don't even need to be in this city where I usually have a Duke's mansion.

This means that we will be able to live in abandoned mines and focus on Gimru as before.

"Yeah. Lyoma, you'll be contacted if you send a letter to the store, and I want you to let me know your plans in advance if you leave Giml for a long time, or so. Well, he's been sending me updates from time to time, so I don't think there's a particular problem there.

And then... what I'm going to give you, Lyoma, is the status of "third class engineer", and as a technician, I'll be at the bottom, but the conditions are also loose. At the bottom, technicians are basically under my command, the Duke, so I don't get orders from any other technician. "

"... May I ask for some more details?

Specifically, the "third class technician” and “basically Mr. Reinhardt's direct reports” sections.

I know it's a class about third-class technicians, but isn't that basically an exception?

"Lyoma, as you can imagine, the engineer has a third class at the bottom, and there's a second, first class on top of that. My background, accomplishments until I became a technician, accomplishments since I became a technician, and contributions to my home determine my class. And the treatment is roughly determined by class."

In common, the only thing given is the security of identity and the assistance of research funds, which is basically all third class technicians do.

The second-class technician is also given a manpower or location that is easy to experiment with, and a small number of escorts if necessary.

Being a first-class technician adds to that the right to have troops..., the wife says.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the knowledge and skills of first class technicians are“ treasures ”. It will take a significant number of people to protect such engineers and their research facilities."

"By the way, if you say it on merit, Lyoma, who found the curse wound special effects, is even a first-class engineer. Uh, Wye thinks. It's just that first class technicians are in a really great position to speak, and they can sell their names. I have a lot of trouble with that. Think of it as a third class."

Mr Serge and Mr Piolo gently added a supplement, convinced.

Furthermore, since the technicians have different fields of expertise and different places where they can demonstrate their abilities, the detailed conditions are determined individually after consultation. Isn't it therefore more liberal and suitable for me than other positions? That's one of the reasons Mr. Reinhardt recommended a technician, he said.

And the key, if you become a technician, is that you belong.

"This was not my way of saying it."

Because technicians exist in more than one person in each area of expertise, technicians may end up in a mentorship relationship with each other, or they may welcome people who are originally in a mentorship as technicians.

I mean, it's a good story if I don't have that kind of relationship with someone who's a senior engineer myself.

"When you work as a technician, I would be more absent from the scene. In that case, I'm sending an agent, but I'm not an agent's subordinate. You have the right to talk to me on an equal footing, to have an opinion, and to sue me directly if you really want to."

Considering that technicians are nobles, technicians contracted here with Mr. Reinhardt, or advisors...

"So far, honestly, it's not that bad of a story.... sounds rather favorable, but it still doesn't work the way it's always been, does it?

Mr. Reinhardt nods quietly.

"First and foremost, technicians must prove their ability to deserve our technicians every few years. Submit some research results for this or get the technology to help for the territory"

In my case, it has the effect of cursing wounds, so it's not a problem to enroll as a technician.

Depending on how you work afterwards, however, you may also be stripped of your position and authority as a technician.

"... that's right"

"Once we consider the magnitude of our achievements, we can grant respite, because our money was collected as a tax by the people. Money and status cannot be given to those who do not deliver results on boulders. I know you can keep your position as a technician, but you will be asked for a certain amount of labor and bound.

Of course I'm not going to make unscrupulous demands, and I don't mind continuing my current job or adventurer. You're just going to be busy, and I can think of the possibility of having to shrink any job.

... and one more thing "

He speaks with a serious expression.

"Beyond giving me the status of engineer, where and from whom have I learned and mastered the technology? I need to know your background (...). I don't want to listen to you outside, but I want you to be prepared to spread it to all parts of the world if necessary."

At that moment, I felt the temperature in the room drop significantly.

Mr. Reinhardt, who told the words, of course, the other three have not been able to hide their facial stiffness.

"... Anything else"

"Others?... There's nothing else in particular. If even the third class is a technician, we can also tighten the solicitation of nobility. If you want it, I'll take care that the name spreads to a minimum among ministers. The way you work… I think technicians are free to do so if they produce results in their research. This is a knight's duty to participate in daily training. There's so much else out there, but technicians don't have it."

It seems beneficial that there is no obligation to serve. They're stable now and there's no war, etc., but it's not necessarily that there's anything left to live with for the next 10 or 20 years. And it's an important point that you have the right to choose what you do when something happens.

The other contents should be enjoyed as a Duke's technician if it is normal, rather than in favor of the house, and it should be an undesirable event if it were to be used by the civilian population. It is also natural in some ways that the conditions are broken compared to the average technician, and I don't think it would be strange to jump thankfully without worrying if it were normal.

I don't know about the others, but maybe this is how I'm more of a minority worried.

"... Well, it's a sudden story. It'll be hard to come up with an answer right now, and would you take the time to think about it? Which curse wound's special effects are not yet at the completion stage?

Thoughtful and silent, Mr. Reinhardt spoke with a slightly soothing voice.

"Until animal experiments. We still don't know what happens when we actually give it to humans."

"Then you don't have to rush anything else. Applying to a technician is my opinion given the value of the serum and its effect on you. If we don't let the world out, we still have respite. As for these two points, as a limited-time story, I think we can wait for the time of year, but what do you think?

"I agree. I'd love to be a technician, but that choice will be a huge problem for you, Lyoma, and it will affect your life ahead. It's a big choice for adults, so you should think about it without regret."

"I agree. Aside from the serum, Rheuma also has the results of a study of slime that is likely to be the spring of business. It won't be too late to consolidate the ground there without hurry and think about it. I tend to forget I'm talking like this, because I'm a kid who hasn't even reached 15 yet."

"As well to the right. Only skilled craftsmen with many years of experience are employed in technicians, or all the touching talent who have left Wangdu's school and laboratory for outstanding grades. 20 or 30 is normal beyond. I admit I have the skills, but I'm too young to compare to those people. A boy who became a Duke's engineer in 10 and a little. Is this going to be a rumor regardless of the serum?

"Uh... if you ask me, will you draw attention in terms of rarity (...)? I'll protect you, though. Yeah......"

Your voice is getting smaller and smaller, Mr. Reinhardt.

I look him in the eye and tell him if his wife had not noticed.

Mr. Serge and Mr. Piolo laugh in a frantic manner as they drink tea with disappeared hot air.

If you noticed, the cold air you felt earlier was warming up at some point.

And

"And you, Lyoma"

"Yes."

"You were careful what you said and what you said to them."

Mr. Reinhardt, who escaped his wife's gaze, began to say things that didn't make sense.

"You said this was the first time we talked about the serum. He said he found the curse wound serum in training where a lot of adventurers were nearby, and even though he had a lot of time after that, he knew it was dangerous to tell a bad opponent and kept it a secret, didn't he? And it wasn't even written in the letters I got regularly."

Naturally. Write it down in a letter, in case anyone else reads it, it's a big problem.

"I'm glad you understand... because I didn't think you were too generous or attached to your skills and knowledge"

"I'm going to have some understanding of the bad stuff when I put it out lightly..."

And if you look closely at it, your wife, Mr. Serge, even Mr. Piolo. All adults have a subtle look on their faces.

... Could it have been thought so careless? Well, I may be indifferent to trivial matters, but I'm just not that careless.... and I think to myself...

We laugh bitterly at each other and time passes without some strong denial.

Eventually,

"Yeah, I contacted you earlier, but I forgot to tell you one thing, Lyoma. It's a wedding venue for Hughes and Renaissance, but I hear we've got a bunch of requests from our servants."

"Okay. We'll start construction tomorrow."

"How much manpower should we have?

"Right...... someone who is good at hard work for now and asks for help in their spare time. I would like to start with the foundation work, so there will be jobs even if the number of people is large"

"Okay. When it comes to hard work... can we start work in the afternoon? Though I think it's easy for people from the security department to get together after training."

"No problem. Thank you."

A new topic is available and the conversation continues as if nothing had happened.

Everyone must have given me respite for thinking about my feelings.

... I want to believe they think it's careless and they didn't stab me in the nail.
