The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

Randolph has a job as a Lords surrogate.

I can't act with Claude or Bridget all the time.

So Isaac had left it to Isaac to mix common sense with the Claudes.

But......

"Living with Elves...... But there's nothing unusual about it."

"That would be so. We used to live together, so basically we should stay in similar habits and practices."

After about three days, Isaac and Claude couldn't find a place to be extra careful.

There are lifestyle differences because of the different places you live, but there's nothing you can call contraindications that you shouldn't touch.

Even if there is, it is only a difference to the extent that "Kantos like natto, Kansai don't like natto".

In fact, there are people in Kanto who don't like natto, and Kansai people who like natto.

As much as I might be inclined to do that somehow, it wasn't like this to take it away.

"In the first place, even I lived with humans when I was your age. I think a guy of some age could live without a problem. Well, it wasn't such a splendid mansion to live in."

Claude said as he looked around.

Life is a strange thing.

Though I didn't think my relationship with humans would improve, if I realized it, I would be invited as a guest to my upper-class home.

It is uncomfortable to be surrounded by gorgeous condiments, as they are common people who lived among the civilian population before the severance of national traffic.

"Uh, right. Two hundred years after the war, more people lived with humans. hahahaha......"

Isaac scratched his head, laughed and deceived.

To interact with the elves, Glenn, who has a relationship with Isaac, was officially appointed as Isaac's secretary.

That he's holding a pen and paper so he can write it down whenever he has an opinion, but he hasn't been able to play his part in the last three days.

What came up was about ordering sweets and drinks.

Isaac was feeling awkward about Glenn when the idea of "the elves might be used to human life" was missing.

"If Grandpa told me about the difference in price from the two hundred years ago, maybe I could do it right away in human society"

Glenn quickly writes down Claude's words, "It's my first decent job."

I don't know if there's any material left of the prices from two hundred years ago, but it should help if we table the differences between the old and the present prices.

But Isaac caught something in Claude's words.

"Hmmm...... Ah! Maybe I wasn't thinking about the current price when I decided that my earnings per day would be good for 30,000 leads..."

Isaac was in a hurry when he didn't notice and realized it was a good place.

Glenn also panicked greatly, "We have to teach Master Morgan as well as Master Randolph".

"Don't worry about that. You were shopping before the meeting. Exactly. The village chief should have figured out and signed about 30,000 leads worth. It's a mistake to sign and complain that you didn't know about it later."

Claude calms them both down.

Even Elves naturally know what it means to sign a contract.

Aloys doesn't really understand either and he shouldn't be stupid enough to sign with the atmosphere.

There seems to be no problem with the contract.

"But even if the village of Morane is good, it could be problematic if we start officially contracting other villages as well. Explain it by mouth, or let me shop first, like we did. It's easy to understand and helpful."

"That's true."

Glenn rushes to write down his opinions on the paper for an exchange of views on the interactions that have progressed on the third day.

I can't rest because I have nothing to write about.

When Isaac talked to Claude or Bridget, he didn't know when or what he was going to talk about.

I was so tired that I couldn't get distracted.

Still hitting and changing from chatter to important topic.

So much so that you can concentrate on your work so that we can move on.

"Once you have an exchange, you can think in the direction of accommodating a certain amount of shopping money from village to village."

As far as human beings are concerned, households are created to take up taxes.

But there is no means on the human side to prove who anywhere when it comes to elves.

Instead of giving money to individuals, I thought it would be better to "give money for △ names because ○ villages have △ names".

"I want to ask you something, too."

Glenn pinches his mouth here.

As a secretary, my husband's supplement is also a fine job.

"Don't you have the old currency? In some cases, you should also consider calling an exchange."

"Old currency..."

Claude closes his eyes and tries to remember what's going on with the currency.

"I don't think there's any left. I should have used it to buy salt and iron products from Dwarves because they can't be used by human opponents anymore. Instead of a change, I get it with an arrow butt, and I think it's a small amount."

"I see. So far, we don't have a money changer, so we can leave it to the discretion of the local chamber of commerce."

Glenn wrote down Elf's possession as a caveat.

It seems to be of low importance.

This would be okay just to notify the Chamber of Commerce.

When we talked about gold, Isaac's thinking also turned to nature and gold.

"Money... Street maintenance is good now, but you have to think about what happens after more people work for a living and the maintenance goes on all at once."

We can't just let them do street maintenance forever.

There are limits to the road.

Exactly because there is resistance to letting you expedite to other countries, you have to think of alternatives.

"Elf magic isn't just about making a path. Even injuries and illnesses can be cured. If he's good at healing magic, he's amazing enough to fix a thousand broken limbs."

Claude answered the troubles with a bitter smile.

Isaac is too conscious for civil work.

It's good not to think about using it for war, but your thoughts are too biased.

Elf magic can do other things, so I need to get flexible thinking.

Because Isaac is expected to act as a bridge of friendship between humans and elves.

"That's amazing! As much as I want a few people stationed in each city once the AC progresses!

Improving health care is one of the key challenges.

They have a bunch of people in church who are good at therapeutic magic, but they don't seem to be numbered enough for the number of sick people.

Besides, no one can cure a thousand chopped bodies like an elf.

If we could deploy a medical professional named Elf, we would have the support of nobility as well as civilians.

Looks like I dug an unexpected gold mine because I went out hunting for pine mushrooms.

"No, Master Isaac. That's not possible."

But the idea is denied by Glenn.

"Why?"

"Because it takes away the work of existing doctors and pharmacists. Besides, church officials won't look good either. The things you get are huge, but so is the rebellion for that matter. I strongly recommend that you give up on this matter."

- vested interests.

It is more of a problem that arises somewhere than society is forming.

Street maintenance was like a tax on labor, so I left it to the elves and they didn't complain.

However, medical activities step into the realm of the existing profession.

Naturally, those in that profession will rebel.

Especially the presence of a church.

It penetrates human society and is good at manipulating people.

Usually you preach charity, but if you have someone you don't like, stick a rettel called "God's Enemy" and let someone crush you.

I didn't have any power. Now I wasn't the person I could think of fighting, etc.

"If Glenn says so, there's no choice..."

Words are backwards, and Isaac distorts his face uncomfortably when he is crushed by a story that feels good.

But there was calm enough to accept Glenn's prophecy.

He is a common sense man, good or bad, with no pointy points in his personality.

For Isaac, who cannot yet be said to be completely accustomed to the common sense of this world, Glenn's advances cannot be ignored.

Moreover, he says, "I highly recommend (...)".

It's essentially the same thing you're saying, "Don't do it because it's dangerous."

It is the strongest word that a secretary without authority can give to one who serves.

If Glenn says so much, Isaac can only accept it a lot.

(I knew it, but it doesn't make sense to have inheritance rights other than first place...)

If you are a clear successor like Randolph, you can use the power of the Marquis.

But if, like Isaac, you don't know which will succeed Nathan in the future, the power you can use will be very limited.

I don't have the authority to turn the church or all medical personnel against my enemies to fight, and I'm not even allowed to try to turn them around.

If we want to carry out these reforms, we will have to do so after we take away the country.

"There's nothing we can do about doing something anyway unless we get the full cooperation of the elves. Now we just have to wait and see if the people we actually meet in the field can do well and come and make some money from other villages."

Isaac said as if to tell himself.

There are many things I want to do.

But it was an elf.

It doesn't make sense to force me to hate you.

"To be honest, a group of nobles who come to greet me is depressing. But there is no dissatisfaction with living. This is probably what the earners should think. I think the reviews will gradually increase your earnings, so just wait for the temper."

Claude comforts Isaac.

"Yep... I can't fit the spirit of an elf."

At first, it seemed to have had a consoling effect.

Isaac jokes back.

It's not that long.

In humans and elves, the feeling of time is different.

Isaac seems to understand that, but I'll make it up to you just in case.

"We won't be doing winter activities this year, will we? If the earners return to the village in the winter, they will tell the others. I think there will be more people out there making money starting next year. You just have to add a little more work to it."

"Next year. I can't wait."

Isaac tries to convince himself in Claude's words.

Glenn also follows Isaac.

"Even if it's not a medical relationship, there's still something to do, like curing water. Let's do that, you don't have to rush to do this"

"Yeah, you are. Let's start with what we can do."

I was dissatisfied. I fix Isaac's mood.

I originally thought, "Build up the little things in the tunnels and one day we'll go for the top."

Just because you held a joker named Elf doesn't mean you need to break your starting hand and aim for the big guy.

Isaac's mood was fixed and he went back to chatting where the air was soothing.

"Oh, this is delicious."

"You like the aroma of almonds, don't you?"

"I was tired of eating almonds, but eating them like this makes you feel fresh."

Next to the three of them talking, Lisa and Bridget are pinching almond cookies.

Yes, they were there from the beginning.

But I couldn't get into their story, so I was naturally enjoying my tea while the two of us chatted.

Bridget asks Lisa a question when she sips tea and pours in cookies.

"I don't know, it's just a little hard talk. Is that girl always like that?

Bridget's gaze is toward Isaac.

Lisa answers with an indescribably complicated look.

"It's been like that for a long time."

"You're a really weird kid."

Lisa seems to agree unexpectedly, but she just hesitates to put it in her mouth in front of herself.

"Right," the words poured into my stomach with tea.

----------

A month has passed.

Claude and Bridget also began to get familiar with the mansion to some extent.

Neither did the earner elves have any particular problems as much as there was a drunken beating fight.

Speaking of unusual things, Isaac also started showing his nobles their flirty faces.

- Even if there is a difference in the mother's home, won't she win the right of inheritance on her own merits?

Because that's what they started to think.

Isaac has always taken Claude and the others with him, not just the rights brought about by the elves.

If you were an ignorant child, you would have been ridiculed for ”not knowing the fear of an elf”.

But Isaac is smart enough not to think of him as a child.

"Knowing the power of an elf, it combines the audacity of being able to relate to each other equally," he began to appreciate highly.

And most importantly, when various chambers of commerce, including the Braak Chamber of Commerce, visited the mansion, it was big enough to apply to see Isaac.

They're here to talk about something to do with the exchange with the elves, but the bureaucrats and servants didn't think that was all.

The merchant is resourceful.

I assumed that Isaac was more advantageous to me than Nathan to take in.

This day, Henry, the head of the Wight Chamber of Commerce, and Jacob of the Reid Colour Chamber of Commerce, had been visiting Isaac.

In a bid for this month, the Braak Chamber of Commerce wins the bid with 5.5 billion leads.

They lost because they were bidding around 4 billion leads.

I got in line for the same two times with the number of bids I won.

There's a fire in their ass. I guess they have somewhere to think about.

"So what's the question?

Isaac asks straight in.

If you're noble, you seem noble, and you should warm up the place with chatter at first.

However, it had become a habit for Isaac, who had been rushed and kept working in his previous life, to rush to conclusions.

"The first question I'd like to ask you is, for example, when the Wight Chamber of Commerce becomes a merchant, can I turn my work around with the Reid Color Chamber of Commerce as my partner?"

Henry opened his mouth first.

"An area still not dealt with by the Braak Chamber of Commerce. Orders are placed with the Reid Colour Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce for ornaments etc...... The Wight Chamber of Commerce takes on all the ornamental related work to be ordered from the Marquis House and turns the job over to the Reid Color Chamber of Commerce. Can I be a substantial merchant?

"Exactly."

It is said that the taste of the merchant can be contracted as a priority at work.

However, the Wight Chamber of Commerce focuses on groceries.

In the future, we will be expanding the products we handle like the Braak Chamber of Commerce, but not right now.

So partnering with the Reid Color Chamber of Commerce to entrust the field of decorations doesn't mean we lose our interests.

I guess we're going to join hands with someone who doesn't constitute a conflict of interest.

I agree with that idea.

"Of course, I don't mind. The reason I spoke to the Chamber of Commerce in a different field like yours was because I was going to bring it up after the most successful bidders had made their decision. Because I was going to give you some kind of reward when you took part in the bidding."

- Give the loser a chance to spill too.

I've been thinking about this since the beginning.

There is no reason to disagree with a recommendation that a cooperative relationship be established by promising to share work in advance.

"So is it okay to borrow money?

Now Jacob asks questions.

Perhaps this is the main question.

"It's okay. But I think stopping lending just before bidding, while I say lending money, falls under the category of obstruction. If we work together, we work together. If you're going to cut your hand, cut your hand and tell them to spare time."

Listening to Isaac's reply, the two had a hospitable look on their face.

I don't just hang my fingers around and watch the Braak Chamber of Commerce win the bid anymore.

I said goodbye and they exited satisfactorily.

Isaac looked bored at the appearance.

"Dear Isaac. What's wrong with you?

I was curious. Glenn asks a question.

"... I thought I was going to give them my bids, so I thought it was a slap. Even if you're a merchant, the roots are serious. I'm a little disappointed."

Movies and dramas, a merchant was all about the role of a wicked, skilled bad guy.

I don't mind being directed at myself with mean means, but I'm bored with all the non-toxic people.

Isaac was looking for talent from among the merchants that he seemed to be able to rely on as his shadow staff.

But I'm a little discouraged because I was just a legitimate merchant.

"I see. There are some ways to break the pattern like that..."

I guess it was an unexpected idea.

Glenn seems to be losing his temper, too.

"I want you to realize that's the way out, and I've minimized the restrictions on the rules,"

Isaac exhales once.

(After all, cunning characters aren't there because they buy the user's hates because they are originally in the world of maiden games? But Son is a pretty bad guy, so it doesn't mean he's not here...... No, because most people are sweet, conspicuously conspicuous plotters born very rarely? Or does it exist because it's a pre-game setting?

But I didn't get that answer.

It's too early to decide that you're not in this world because there's no cunning around you.

And I also thought that if there was no one I could count on as a shadow staff member, I should think for myself about falling into a person.

At least because Isaac has a dirtier heart than those around him...

"Speaking of which, did you have any contact at Glenn's from the Braak Chamber of Commerce or anything?

Isaac changed the story.

We gave priority to resolving questions rather than continuing to worry about unanswered matters.

"... there is. But I haven't divulged any information. As a secretary, I'm not acting embarrassed."

I guess Glenn thought he suspected something.

There's nowhere to hide it, deny it grandiously.

To Glenn like that, Isaac denied the idea by gesturing "no, no".

"You can talk about this bid. I'm not restricting those things either. So, I have one favor to ask you."

Isaac laughs nicely.

A cute childish smile, but Glenn only had a bad feeling.

"The next time you get a chance to meet someone from the Braak Chamber of Commerce, tell Isaac that the Wight Chamber of Commerce and the Reid Colour Chamber of Commerce are all here to see you."

"What, are you going to teach it here!?

Instead of "don't divulge information," Glenn is baffled by daring to be ordered to "tell me."

Because I don't know what the advantages of such a thing are.

"That's right. So you know what you want to be sure of. Oh, you'll get your reward in return. Because it's a lie to provide information free of charge. You can make that reward your own for the rent, please."

"Even if you ask me not to... I'll try, but I can't take responsibility for failing."

"Fine, just give it a try"

Glenn took it upon himself, bewildered.

That's what you have to do from the standpoint of secretary.

But when I thought, "What are you going to show me this time?" I saw something scary and I gave him a hand.

This will be my tenth bid in the next round.

So if the Gray Chamber of Commerce wins the bid, it ends.

If the Braak Chamber of Commerce wins, the showdown with the Grey Chamber of Commerce in the eleventh round.

Or will the Wight and Reid Colour Chambers appeal to its existence?

their fateful bid.

Carelessly, Glenn was looking forward to seeing what the bid would look like next month.
