As we approached the Lords' Hall, one of the officials noticed.

Go get a deputy in a hurry.

Not long ago, a deputy comes out of the Lords' Hall looking anxious.

"My Lord Count. Today the hell..."

"Ha-ha-ha,... uh, ha-ha"

That cruz was out of breath, too.

I've been with Fem and Morphy and I've been calling faster than a horse.

"Ha ha."

"Ha-ha."

Fem and Morphy have rough breaths, too.

Has it been fun at the end of the day or was it like competition?

I was running pretty hard. Naturally this happens.

"Femme and Morphy did their best."

"That's just great."

To restore your strength, me and Vivi will come down and stroke the beasts.

Keeping it that way, instead of the breathing cruz, I explained to the deputy.

"I've got a metamagic team today,"

"When it comes to transition magic formation, is that transition magic formation, between a big city and a big city?

"Yes, it would be convenient if His Excellency the Count could move around immediately."

The deputy was very surprised.

Typically, the Transfer Magic Team is placed state-owned between large cities.

Even lords are not so easy to install.

It cannot be installed for legal reasons. It can't be installed mainly for economic reasons.

Transition magic formations are so expensive.

"By the way, if you'll excuse me...?

"I've been here before, it's Arla."

Cruz introduces me. He's already breathed.

Even though Fem and Morphy's breath is still rough, they recover quickly.

That's brave.

"Excuse me for leaving my mask on the other day"

"No, Master Arula. Best regards,"

The deputy and I bowed our heads to each other.

I didn't take a wolf mask before this, so this is the first time I've shown my deputy my face.

Afterwards, deputies are sent to the reception room.

Morphy and Fem naturally followed suit.

"Uh..."

"What's wrong, deputy?

"No, nothing"

The deputy looked at Fem and Morphy and said something. That's what I was doing.

Cattle and wolves are not allowed in the Lords' Hall normally. I know you're confused.

But Cruz, the lord of the hall, is flat, so he seems to have accepted.

Officials other than deputies take their seats off and introduce themselves again.

"Arla is not a mistake. It's commonly called Viscount Alfred Lindt."

"Oh! Even things like me, I know your high name. You're the famous Wizard of the Wizard who was organized with His Excellency the Count. How did you get a fake name?

"Arula... doesn't mean it's a fake name, does it?"

I told the deputy that I got the name La from an ancient dragon and that I was hiding it.

The deputy was nodding with a serious face.

"You had that situation. I understand. I'll keep it a secret that Mr. Arula is His Highness the Viscount of Lint."

"Thank you for your attention"

"Holy shit!

Sigishoara makes a face out of my nose.

Looking at the deputy, he's buttering his feathers.

Sigishoara is not the first person to meet a deputy. But I didn't make an introduction.

"This child is Sigishoara. He is the son of the archduke of the ancient dragon. I plan to visit the Grand Duke soon."

"Well, that's... Congratulations"

"Ria!"

Sigi nodded in a good mood.

I was watching that, Vivi says with her chest up.

"By the way, the name of Straw is Vivi Lindbal."

"Regards, Mr. Lindbal"

"And this pretty cow is Morphy, and it's Femme who's got that unafraid face."

"Also, Mr. Morphy and Mr. Femme. Best regards,"

"Nice to meet you."

"Rokuro"

"Huh!"

I guess you didn't think the reading would fly. The deputy was frightened.

Cruz was drinking tea hanging around while introducing himself all the way through.

I guess I'm thirsty because I've been running from the village of Murg.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck."

"Mo fu fu fu"

Femme and Morpheus also get water out in about. I drank a lot of momentum.

After a cup of tea, Cruz takes a breath and says:

"Speaking of which, isn't it in the lord's hall, like the lord's office?

"There is once. It's a small room that's not supposed to be used..."

"If it's not used, it's just fine. Install the magic team there!

The deputy will guide you to the Lords' Office.

It's a small room with only one desk. It doesn't seem to be used, but it's not dusty.

It must be cleaned regularly.

"That's big enough to put the magic team down."

"Right. We'll install it here."

Cruz removes the carved shield of the transfer magic formation from the magic bag.

And start the magic formation quickly. Cruz can only activate the Magic Formation.

"That's it. Shit!

"For once, draw a defensive magic formation in this room."

"Vivi, please."

Don't worry about it.

Vivi carves defensive magic formations into walls, floors, and ceilings.

This made me less at risk of getting my room destroyed. It also makes sense to prevent deputies from destroying their magic formations in an attempt to make them unusable.

"Oh, yeah. Because of this, we'll carve a defensive magic team into the Lords' Hall."

"Uh, okay?

"Mm-hmm. I'm not ready, so I'm gonna be weaker than the guard cabin."

"That still helps!

Vivi will carve out the defensive magic formation at best.

This would make a museum unbeatable to some disaster or bandit raids.

"What if"

Morphy follows behind such a vivi.

Leaving the defensive magic formations to Vivi and Morphy, Cruz starts a meeting with deputies.

"I also thought I had to decide on a replacement for the alternated assistant deputy..."

"Your Excellency the Count is right. We need to start over with the tax assessment."

"It's normal to pick assistant deputies from the local area, isn't it? Are there any candidates?

"A few of us have candidates, but we can't decide. So I thought I'd take over the duties of the alternated assistant deputy directly this year..."

I am sure I cannot afford the time to appoint a new assistant deputy.

That's why it's also physically challenging for deputies to concurrently serve as deputy assistants.

Worried, I ask.

"Are you all right?

"It's an emergency, and if it's just this year... Besides, I thought I'd use the auxiliary candidate as a subordinate to see his personality."

"I see, that may indeed be efficient"

Cruz hears it and thinks with a serious face.

I've been thinking about it, and I've been scratching Fem's head off.

"Wahoo?

"Hmmm......"

Femme was confused, but Cruz was confused.

And I open my mouth as I scratch.

"If that's the case, I'll do the proxy work!

"Huh? Cruz what?

"So I'll be the deputy!

Originally, it is the deputies who act on behalf of the Lords.

So it's just that the lord does his job himself.

But I get anxious.

"Cruz, are you okay?

"Yes! I'll do my best!

I don't think Cruz can handle the assistant deputy's work. I don't even know how to assess the fields.

And I don't think the deputies' work can be done by Cruz either.

"Cruz, can you work as a deputy or as a lord?

"Yes, I'll do my best!

Anyway, Cruz seems motivated. Motivation is fine.

But even if he is willing, he cannot do what is impossible.

There are things that can't be done with hard work.

"The deputy is a professional. We should hire a former bureaucrat temporarily from the center."

"My lord, I think so too."

"... ok. If that's what Mr. Al and his deputy say."

Cruz seems convinced.

It was decided to hire a bureaucrat in Wang Du to represent me in a great hurry.
