537 Episode 527: The Council of Lords is in progress. (Can I hire a heterogeneous race? )

Meetings are also being held today in the halls within the Royal Castle between members of the Royal and Noble Councils and civilian executives.

"Hmm.

Then the requirements for the establishment of this laboratory and the items of authority to the director and the method of cost settlement at the time of entering the war shall now be adjudicated.

Well, if there is any deficiency in implementing it, we should all talk about it again.

"" Ha!

Everyone on the spot responds.

"Ha... it was kind of long...

Oh, Alcott, you're handing this set of materials to Takeo and Alderson this evening, aren't you?

"Yes, I plan to invite you both to conduct a pre-workshop.

"Actually, Takeo's early personnel are gathering at the Royal Castle after noon.

"I see... shall I then give this dossier to Lord Kitamizato and Lord Alderson before noon?

Lord Kitamizato is likely to find deficiencies, so he will be able to make further corrections.

"Right, tell me you want me to come to the meeting after you get it through your eyes.

"Yes, I'm in awe.

By the way, where is Lord Alderson?

"Ah, he's in our civilian quarters. Um... was it Inn 3?

He's accompanying the Wang Du Tour this time.

"Really, I'll ask you later.

Where is Lord Kitamizato?

"Did Leila say something about coming to visit with Alice today at the Queen's post-breakfast tee time?

"Hmm... so shall we go to the kitchen later?

"Orcott has come to understand Takeo's behavior, too.

King Azpar laughs bitterly.

"Well, there's no way the princesses won't ask you to cook even though Lord Kitamizato is here.

"Well.

Well, what's next?

"Yes.

Er, since the selection of the new nobility has been consolidated, this is the final confirmation before the dispatch of the notification to each nobility.

"Uhm."

"Let's start with Count Godwin territory"

"Four more will be awarded the title as barons.

This will be combined with Baron Babington, Baron Alderson and Viscount Kitamizato for seven.

"Well... you're all in your 30s.

"Yeah, maybe you're just the right age.

"Um, I think this is a good idea.

Anybody got a problem with that?

No one makes a statement to King Azpar's inquiry.

"Your Majesty, I will now inform all nobles and civilian and martial officers here.

"Uhm.

Next is the ceremony of Cliff and Neil and the awarding ceremony of the new nobles?

"Yes.

His Royal Highness's ceremony and the award ceremony are adjusted to take place on consecutive days, as decided at an earlier meeting.

The award ceremony is January 16 and the ceremony is January 17.

"Hmm... are we going to make it?

"Yes. In the first place, the award ceremony will take the form of an increase in the number of people and an addition to the ceremony that His Majesty decided to return from Elvis territory.

As Directorate-General and General Affairs, I recognise the extent to which it has grown in size.

I am also thinking of convening all the nobles in this period.

"Hmm... so all the winners will have..."

"Yes, but there will be circumstances in each territory as well.

I thought I'd ask you to join me or the next one.

"It's been a long time since we all got together. When's the first time?

"I thought since the ceremony between His Highness William and His Highness Alma.

"Will it be that much already?

I've seen him individually.

Hmm? Neil, what's up?

King Azpar sees and hears Neil secretly gasping.

"No... I was wondering if it would be an opportunity to deepen my intimacy with a nobleman I don't normally see.

"Right.

Especially since Neil will also look at the Katlanda Empire after Cliff moves to the King's Capital, so he should make a solid pass.

Neil and King Azpar both make surfaces, but in their hearts they say, "Can't this ask Takeo for Smith to come? This is a good opportunity! He thinks," And King Azpar says, "Neil's going to let Amy see Smith, isn't he?" and we both think about something completely different.

"Do you have anything else to decide?

"There's nothing else... not today, is there?

"Hmm. Then I have one request for consideration from everyone.

Everyone but Orcott on the spot gets nervous.

"No... it's not that nervous... well, okay.

Some will see and hear, but Takeo... became the carriage of Fae into Sir Kitamizato's subordination.

You're the sister and brother of an elf child to the butler and the beast man's parents and children to the subordinate.

Yesterday, William, Orcott and Clark were interviewed individually.

"Your Majesty, I remember that as a result, there was no problem if we had a firm contract of employment, both for beasts and elves.

Clark also nods at Orcott's words.

"Uhm.

As for the Takeo individual, yes.

I guess Takeo only subordinated him from being capable (...).

This is also the way we think about our country. It's a good idea to recruit people who are capable and enhance their national power.

So I told Takeo to close his contract.

But on the other hand, everyone here knows the racial ratio of martial arts officers in our country, right?

Everyone nods at the words of King Azpar.

"I don't know, I'm thinking that we're going to have to take in the Fae as well... if the country is to develop when we think about decades ahead.

"Sire, what does that mean?

Clark asks.

"I'm not willing to at least expand the national territory.

So we are not willing to enslave demons, nor are we deliberately willing to create inequalities and sow the seeds of strife in the country.

Development is simply population growth. Can we do it by human species alone to aspire to population growth?

Besides, now this country is about to put in a new breeze, reposition people and walk out towards a bright future.

What is a bright future?

It is my belief that all citizens (...) will sincerely think, 'It is good to be able to live in this country and be born in this country'.

What about the situation where there are only human species on the rulers' side today?

Are we really in a situation where we can say that all the people were happy to be born in this country?

Isn't it turning into a country where only the human race benefits?

"Your Majesty, we do not exclude certain races from recruiting soldiers!

The military commissioner stands up and says:

"I know that. We've all made up our minds about that.

But... why aren't they even applying for recruiting (...)?

Secretary of Military Affairs, why are you only applying for a human species? Say it.

"It's... I don't know.

"Is it only their fault that you recruited them and they don't apply?

Are there any flaws on this side? Is the Director of Human Resources here?

"Ha!"

"What do you think?

"May I take this as my personal opinion rather than the Human Resources Bureau?

"I don't mind, say it.

"I was wondering if it was because the recruiting side would not recognize the Fae race.

"Nah!? Are you saying our military service is racist!?

"Is it not?

There is a situation in which not one person of a different race has applied under the recruitment requirements of the same conditions as a human species.

If you don't do the selection and recruit because your abilities don't meet the criteria, I understand.

But it's like eliminating from the start situations where they don't even apply... because they incorporate conditions that they can't drink?

"Let me tell you I didn't say no to that.

We are capability doctrines. Recruits those with individual force, and promotes those with leadership and judgment.

We do have the status quo of not being applied. But I am proud that I am widening the gateway to the Fae.

Isn't it more a matter of the attitude of our own civilians than of giving them something to do that doesn't come to us?

"That was a long time ago... we had an argument when you were military commissioner two generations ago.

We should be talking about 'hiring Fae first with martial arts officers before hiring them in civilian, making sure they know how to determine their abilities, how to develop them individually, how to act collectively, and how to be prepared to be equivalent to the laws of the kingdom'.

Yet I still don't think it's normal to assume that we're obviously doing something on the part of the martial arts officers.

"Damn... but!

"That's it!

King Azpar speaks up.

"Director of Human Resources, Director of Military Affairs, don't.

I understand what both sides are trying to say.

No further conclusions will be drawn.

"" Ha!

The two of them sit in their seats making a difficult face.

"Military chief, reconsider the recruitment requirements once and for all.

Maybe there's a condition in there that the Human Resources Director says the Fae can't drink.

"Ha!"

"Director of Personnel, consider the recruitment requirements as you look at what you reconsider with the Military Director.

Of course there is no need to favour the Fae.

Only equally.

"I'm in awe.

"Well... I don't know what's going on... don't feel like we're still recruiting like this.

King Azpar said with a sigh.
