Chapter 168 – What to do from now on.

After talking to the maids, things started to get ready, the maids who would stay at the house went back to work, and the women who decided to leave were already packing up.

It was decided that the women who left the mansion would receive a job outside the mansion, as salespeople, and cooks in restaurants that will be opened by the city itself.

Also, all the unnecessary expensive vases and things in the mansion would be sold to other nobles, there would be practically an "auction" within the city in the coming days, it would be interesting.

The room where the mayor died was the room he normally used to be in, but now it was all clean and the mayor's body was no longer there.

There was also a large painting with the mayor's face and the maids also removed it, when Syl entered the room she started to show a sad face, but I approached and started talking to her to calm her down.

There would still be a lot to be done, like rebuilding the city's buildings among other things, but first, we need money for that.

Things will not be sold so quickly, so the last thing to do was use the money reserve the mayor kept, how much money did this guy have in hand? Isn't that an absurd amount?

Apparently, he was a nobleman of low rank, but he has a lot of money, besides the luxurious mansion and the money used to buy the drugs, he still had money kept in some kind of safe.

Of course, Syl was the one who showed the place to us, at first she was a little uneasy, but soon she opened up and told where her father's money was.

It didn't have the same absurd amount that he paid for the drug, but at least he had the amount needed to start doing some reconstructions.

"First, I'm going to start rebuilding the adventurer guild and also building an inn in the city. We need more visitors." The first thing he thought about was the guild, it was a little obvious.

But his thinking is correct, adventurers usually travel to various cities, but because of the quality of life here, the city had no missions, and also did not receive any adventurers.

'In other words, the city's economy did not increase at all.' If the mayor had used his budget to build the city, none of this would have been the case.

"Don't forget to build a restaurant, just imagine having no place to eat?" I don't remember seeing any restaurants in that city, just small markets, and clothing stores, so a restaurant would be great.

"Of course, I won't forget that."

"You'll forget, right? I'll punch you."

"I told you that I won't forget, I have Marcya with me anyway."

"She's not here, and don't count on her to solve everything, you're the mayor now, useless old man."

"Could you stop talking like that? It hurts my feelings a little."

"No, you're useless, I'm just telling the truth, now let's get on with my business."

Lutz swallowed and said, "I hope it's not absurd."

"Well, my request is simple, and you said you would help me with everything necessary, right? Now you can't go back."

Haa ~~

Lutz sighed and just sat right there to start listening to what I had to say, don't worry, it won't be absurd.

'I have to take advantage of this, he said he would help me before, now he can't go back, I said this is not a nice phrase to say to anyone.'

"So, what do you want to order?"

This time we were alone, I left Syl with Lincy so we could talk in peace, it wouldn't make a difference if she overheard this conversation, but I preferred to talk like this, it's calmer.

"So, I'm thinking of opening a store in Grenrok, or rather, a restaurant."

"Wait, do you know how to cook?" Is he mocking me? Of course, I know how to cook, I lived alone for a while, I was forced to learn how to do it, so I have confidence in my cuisine.

Okay, I never cook for anyone before, but I thought my food was delicious, isn't that the most important thing? Or I think it is the most important.

"This is rude, of course, I can cook, how do you think I survived?" I put my hand on my waist trying to look a little mature, but my appearance didn't help at all.

"I see you holding a laugh."

"Sorry, it's just that you look more like a spoiled girl, I would never imagine that you had ever cooked in your life." Well, my appearance also says that what I have left is to accept.

"But aside from that, I need your help with this."

"My help? I'm sorry, but I don't know how to cook and I'm not good at anything related to cooking."

"Listen to me, you idiot, I don't want you to cook, I just want you to help me find an ingredient supplier since you know this world well."

"I don't really know what you meant by 'This world' but I think you're right. So you want me to help you find the ingredients, but do you have the money?"

He has a point, I don’t have the money to run a store yet, maybe I’m rushing too much? No, I’ve had too much time, I need to start doing it fast, that way I’ll never have my home.

Wait, but wouldn't it be better to get a house before the store? Oh, forget it, let's focus on what matters now.

"Well, I don't have any money."

"I imagined..."

"But look, I just want you to find the supplier and send me news about it, I'll get the money over there."

"Really?"

"I'll fix it, I already said." I started to get a little irritated because I was also worried about it, but I think everything is fine, I'm sure I can get the money by then.

"Okay, I'm going to do this, but now I have more to do."

"Alright, Mr. Mayor, pfff"

"Why, you ... Okay, well, I think you'd better go back to Syl's side."

"Yes, see you later."

I left the new mayor in the room and went out to get Syl, and also to get Lincy who might be traveling with us from now on.
