Takeo and the others were returning to their rooms to heal the fatigue of the day.
Yu Ami just finished, put the little ones to bed, and now in reversing before bed.
"... you're done with everything today.
"Right. It wasn't big, was it?
And it felt kind of unusually long.
Takeo and Alice say as they reverse.
"For now, Master Takeo is officially an aristocrat, isn't he?
"Yeah, you got a plate for nobility.
Oh, you kept the paperwork from Victor earlier.
Takeo takes it out of the backpack and reads the documents on the spot.
"... Dear Takeo, you can afford it.
Heh heh, I'll win.
"Well, what about that?
Hmm?... title reward??
"Dear Takeo, what is it?
Alice asks.
"No. They're going to reward you according to your title, apart from your aristocratic reward... oh, you're strictly forbidden to anyone else.
"Really?
How much is the increase?
"They increase it in the form of a title reward (...) in order of baron, Viscount, Count, Marquis, and Duke.
This time he's a Viscount, so he's gaining 100 gold coins. You didn't write any other increases, did you?
It says otherwise that the Duke is a former royal family and the Marquis is absent.
"Really?
Was it true that the Counts were three counts facing the demonic kingdom and one next to the First Crown Territory and one next to the Second Crown Territory?
I wondered if the Viscount was one of the two next to the 1st Crown Territory and the second Crown Territory.
With its territory, the Baron is said to be the Wall of the King's Capital and this time a rookie nobleman, isn't it?
Alice says.
"Is there a clear provision for the title?
"You don't know that by me.
Smith said it before, because it's a big territory, and it's not the Count, so...
Isn't there something on the Wang Du side to appoint?
Besides, if you do good to the king's capital, the others will hear his name.
You don't hear those who hear rumors are low.
"Well... if you want to be up there, I guess that's still good.
"Right.
Does Master Takeo want to be an Earl or Marquis?
"Mm-hmm... even the Viscount isn't used to saying...
Well, more pay is comforting to my ears, but it also means more responsibility and more chances to make decisions for that matter.
All I have to do so far is focus on keeping the institute on track.
If it's going to be raised as a result, I'll accept that, but I don't think you need to worry about just going up and down the throne even though you haven't achieved anything.
Takeo says in a flamboyant manner.
"Right.
I thought Master Takeo would say that.
Alice says happily.
"I don't think you have to think about it yet because I wonder what people will think about me later.
And... you're done with a few more hands.
"Oh! At some point, there's less black!
Mmm... here... no, I think I can go win this one!
Takeo and Alice were exercising their heads before going to bed.
------------------------
This is Victor and Gina's room.
During pre-bedtime tee time.
"Father, what I was giving your husband earlier was a document I received in advance from the General Inspectorate, right?
"Right.
That one said something about noble remuneration and how to report your income and expenses.
"I saw it there.
You get a different aristocratic reward when you become a Viscount.
"Don't take it for granted that the title makes a difference.
I was an Earl too, so I wasn't like the others, was I?
"Really?
"Oh well. You didn't teach Gina.
In the demonic kingdom, the tax rate on the king's capital is changing depending on the title.
"Tax rate?
"Ah. But it's not uniformly about money or crop tax rates.
The neighbor Barni was the same Count, so the tax rate on the King's Capital is the same, but you don't have to worry about that neighborhood.
Well, the title also means an external rating.
"Really?
So the Earl's remuneration is different from that of your husband and Wang Du?
"Don't be.
Besides, the Count runs the territory, and the Lord personally receives the price of knowledge.
There's supposed to be income from it on both sides, so there's a whole lot. I wouldn't be able to say much less.
"You did.
Master, are you thinking of something again?
"Well... you seem to have the talent to commercialize things that nobody sees.
I guess I'll still come up with something.
"Ships on crops, liquor, cooking, clothing, writing fixtures, toys, weapons, aquaculture... your husband's ideas work in every area, don't they?
"You're a total... genius.
Furthermore, the Wang Metropolitan Guard, who is responsible for the battle to his men, assists in the research in what is known as the Suzune lord of the same town and the royal exclusive magician.
Networks to His Majesty, royalty, cross over to each other with the directors of the Wang capital we just met. I guess we'll continue to talk...
You're building connections with people that nobles like you won't be able to fathom.
"... but your husband is the one who doesn't know the most about the awesomeness around it.
"... right.
That's the biggest problem and the reason we're hired to be comfortable, but it seems like the Lord or something... "
Victor and Gina make a subtle face.
"But you can't even imagine your prestigious husband.
"Right.
I guess the Lord will go on like that.
I don't think anyone who's so prestigious can come up with an idea.
"Your husband is basically humble, but sometimes it's very rare to say it, isn't it?
"I'm saying that at the right time.
It is not an effective hand, especially when negotiating threats.
You're powerful because you don't do it every time.
"Really?
"It doesn't work every time I do.
Well, I don't know. "
Victor sighs.
"Do you want your men when your father was Earl?
"I don't know how to handle it... it's easier for my current boss to follow me, but when I'm a subordinate...
Hmm... that's hard... "
"In that sense, the Count is a big measure, isn't he?
"We were only together for a few days, but that Goren was driving and judgment, a listener to the Lord's opinions, and loyalty from his men.
The Earl would be the Count he deserves.
Victor nods.
"... the relative is pathetic.
"... you'd be different in character.
Victor and Gina thought they were related to running the territory on their own behalf.
