How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

- Episode 5

“Haa… … I understand. It makes sense that the place where you live now is more important than the land where your distant ancestors whose faces you can’t even remember lived.”

Above all, there will be fear.

Of course it was expected. That's why I tried to change my mind through persuasion and support over several years.

… … however.

“Did you hide them?”

I gave him a half reproachful look. They, too, were speechless as if they knew what their situation was.

“We feel keenly that this is our business.”

They also readily admitted that it was their reality.

Surprising.

“then… … what? You mean you kept hiding here with them after that?”

“That’s how it is.”

It's amazing.

It's not that I don't understand the sentiment, but simply holding a sit-in here must be more arduous than I imagined.

It is not simply a matter of life.

Since the structure as a city has already completely collapsed, it can only meet the minimum standard of living.

It won't be raining, though. It will be difficult to properly supply food, and other difficulties abound.

“How the hell did you hold on?”

“… … At first, I managed to survive by stealing the luggage of the investigation team or tricking them. To be honest, I didn't think we would last too long.”

However, the patience of humans was more tenacious than they thought.

It must mean that the obsession that he couldn't leave this place was so strong.

I'm embarrassed

“no… … Rather, why the hell did you guys help them?”

What I'm most curious about is the true intentions of these guys.

Most of the reincarnated people resisted after the collapse of the Caduceus and either got kicked out or disappeared without any regrets.

I didn't care because I wasn't free enough to chase after those who had disappeared, and I wasn't interested.

“No one is giving you orders. Even so, you voluntarily helped.”

“Is it mere sympathy? Or is there another reason?”

listen to it first

Every action has a cause and a motive. Of course, I don't help others without thinking.

That I am no exception.

So I definitely want to hear it.

“Why?”

“Yeah why. tell me from that So I can decide what to do.”

The guys exchange glances with each other as if they were thinking a lot. It's not that I'm thinking about an excuse, but maybe it's because I'm anxious about how I'll come out after hearing that.

“It's really not a big story.”

“I need to listen to something even if it’s not a big deal.”

I decide whether to listen or not, not you to judge.

“… … From the beginning, we were in charge of giving instructions to humans and fulfilling their requests here.”

In short, among the reincarnated people Hariel had brought in at the time, they were in charge of humans.

It's not particularly combative. Because there are no other specialties. It is their main job to listen to human grievances and solve them.

Of course, it's not that I don't have complaints, and it's not that I don't consider it an annoyance.

they said so

“however… … I watched over and over for a long time... … It became impossible to look away.”

Even if it was a stranger, I watched them go through the generations.

Although not blood related. Even in meaningless circumstances, they were not sober enough to watch them fall.

In short, that's the logic.

“To sum it up, it’s fine. Are you saying?”

“Don't you understand?”

“hmm… … Which is why I can understand it.”

can't stay away Surprisingly, it's also a desperate reason.

“So what were you going to do next?”

“That is… …

“We also plan… …

don't you?

Their complexion darkens. It wasn't because I was caught and beaten.

From the beginning, the future was not so bright.

Even if I don't notice, there's a high possibility that someone else will find out or I can't stand it anymore and will self-destruct.

“I was trying to establish a foundation somehow.”

“No matter which continent I went to now, it wasn’t easy.”

“It was difficult.”

Now, no matter which continent you go to, there are people who make a name for themselves in it.

No matter how you negotiate with them, it's unclear how you'll be treated afterwards.

Even if you hide and carve out a place, it probably won't work out.

Not to mention, they don't seem to have much talent there.

“Then, if I kick them out like this, I’ll leave you second and those humans won’t be able to last.”

Their complexions changed at the words I casually muttered.

“ruler. Wait! Throwing away is too much!”

No, someone threw it away.”

sad. Did you really consider me a monster on the same level as him?

“There is no such thing as blood and tears. … … maybe.”

“… … Please give me a confirmation.”

“You talk a lot.”

In return, I squeezed one of them in moderation, and I thought about what to do with them.

It's not something to simply ignore.

‘To proceed with my plan, I have to demolish the whole place and build a new one... …

I'm not a vicious businessman, and I can't push people away.

Of course, their treatment must be taken into account.

‘Even if I send them to another country, they won't follow me... … It takes time to persuade.'

These are the ones who were stubborn even though they had the opportunity in the first place.

It's not that they're bad, but it's probably almost impossible to convince them.

‘But I think there will be a backlash if I take it.'

In their position, I am one of the culprits who destroyed the base overnight. That's how it actually is.

Even if this side is right, it's the winner's logic, and it's a luxury to think they'll understand.

‘I want to solve it without any trouble... …

A peaceful resolution is important.

The means to see blood is not worth considering, and the side effects are not easy.

‘What should I do... …

I pondered and looked around at the second nuisance, these reincarnated bastards.

‘… … Then should I rather use these guys?'

You have to use the resources you have. Anyway, these guys are the end. Even if you have a stupid thought, it's easy to step on it if you're not vigilant.

And these guys are no exception when it comes to seeking a possible peaceful solution.

“… … hey.”

“Answer?”

“to… … Old hear!”

When I deliberately spoke casually, they listened with their backs erect as if they were nervous only then.

good night. Posture is set. At first, it's a position that was established due to the power gap, but it's not bad.

The order of power is the basic of the basics that can't be ignored even if you're ignorant anyway.

Even if it seems like extremely wild logic, the effect is sufficient.

“I can give you a choice.”

“Is this a choice?”

“First of all, it's about the treatment of you.”

I emphasized the treatment of gnomes before humans.

“Get away like this and don’t buy and hit in a place where I can’t reach you, and live on your own. Or, if you don't like it, you'll be kicked out by my hand.”

get kicked out That means seeing the complete end. Naturally, their eyes shook at that point.

“Of course, this is a story when there is no consensus.”

“then??????

“I say it on the premise that you agree. I can suggest another way.”

Of course, except for accepting it, your heart. I leisurely offered them a compromise.

“I will arrange for you to re-employ.”

After completing the investigation and rough ‘negotiation', let's return to Fahilia and take care of the rest.

At some point, without realizing it, Dia took up a corner of my office and asked if she had any questions while peeking through the past documents.

“I see changes in the plan. Mr. Arell.”

What she has doubts about is the construction plan for the Second City.

There was a description of various things, including the necessary material budget.

The detailed plan is still in the works, but the rough composition is drawn to some extent in the document.

Dia who saw that tilted her head.

“The citizen recruitment plan is empty.”

“ah… … that?”

I can't help but wonder because there is one important thing that should be left out.

To build a city, of course, you also need to consider the citizens or the workforce there.

But it suddenly fell out of my revised plan.

I'm just wondering

“are you okay. not an error As for that, um... … It should be said that it was resolved unexpectedly.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Well, roughly, that's it. You will find out later.”

“… … All right.”

Dia understood whether or not she had sincere doubts as well, and put down the document in question that she was checking.

“Is there anything you need help with?”

“hmm… … There is nothing right now.”

“… … Is that so?”

Somehow, rather than thinking that I am glad that there is no work, I let out a sigh of regret.

… … Why is everyone in this family diligent except for me?

“No, I don’t know what could happen. When that time comes, I'll rely on you right away. Calm down.”

“I will be waiting for you.”

After coaxing Dia out with appropriate words, I picked up the document a moment ago and stared at it.

There is nothing to worry about.

“… … Shall we check it from time to time?”

First of all, you have to take responsibility. If you keep it, you have an obligation to watch it.

I sighed lightly and got up from my chair.

courtesy island.

An island that was the home of Caduceus in the past and is now the island where I will build my tourist city in the future.

‘Come to think of it, I have to think of a name here too.'

as soon as you get there. The guys who had negotiated with me last time jumped out and greeted me.

Be fast too. It's kind of a surprise visit... … .

The desperate survival instinct of the guys is well conveyed.

“Are you here?”

“Currently, the results of this investigation are favorable.”

“There is nothing to worry about.”

Even without being told, they report the progress and chatter without rest.

Each one is properly held. It's like a pro end after all.

There is no place to criticize the work process.

“hmm… … How will the residents react?”

“For now, I accept the negotiation itself and am satisfied with my current life… …

As I listened to the explanation, I took a peek and saw… … .

The simple buildings built to allow people to live in moderation are built in the shape of a village, and the residents seem to be living as if they are already accustomed to it.

First of all, I'm glad it seems to have been accepted. In that respect, I was relieved.

“Fortunately, you seem to have evaded it as instructed, right? Are you the mayors of the new city?”

When I gave a half-teasing smirk, they hesitated as if they weren't sure what to say.

“Are you really okay with this?”

“yes? You mean leaving you guys as the managers of this place?”

The deal I offered to these guys.

It promises them a place to stay and a position.

in short.

I tried to use these guys as managers of a new city to be built here.

“Anyway, this place is quite far from Ernesia Kingdom.”

As for the means of coming and going, if you use magic, you will install a very simple and sufficiently convenient means.

“So we should apply a slightly different management system from the existing territory.”

Anyway, if you put it on your ear, it's an earring, and if you put it on your nose, it's a nose ring.

To avoid interfering with others, I decided to give them management positions here and pamper them.

Now, it feels like a village head of a moderately sized village, but wouldn't it be possible to take on a fairly plausible appearance when the construction of the city is finished in the future?

‘Well, at least it's actually nothing more than a position to follow my instructions.'

Even so, there will be no regrets. At least you won't have to worry about starving, and you won't get beaten anywhere.

If something goes wrong, it might be right for me instead.

“Aren’t they understanding and following by setting you up above all else?”

Thanks to these people, those people trust them meekly and follow my policy.

The basic research here or various small tasks are already helping by hand.

After that, you can look forward to the role of a decent villager. I'll guarantee you that much right.

“… … It's called fraud.”

“How are you?”

Names are sometimes like that.

At least that would be enough if no one became unhappy.

“Anyway, please take good care of me with this, mayors?”

Anyway, I'm going to pamper you!

In any case, it is true that we are looking forward to our own results.

… … Even after that, various minor commotions and problems arise over the newly built city.

It will be explained later when the opportunity arises.

Anyway, with this, the pioneering of my desire begins again. How
