91 Episode 91: Joint Management

In October, Allen is now 12 years old. I have been in this museum for four years this month.

A major event in the past five months or so has been that the Knights control the nests of armor ants that Allen has defeated. Around September, the Mithril Ore Mining, the northernmost part of the White Dragon Mountains, has just started operation. The armor does not turn to the nest of armored ants obtained by Allen.

It is said that allen's defeat of the queen armor will allow mines to be mined next year. At the moment, a specialized miner has been dispatched to confirm that it is a new mithril ore. The survey found that there was a great deal of mythril ore.

After that, they wiped out two more armored ant nests. Unfortunately, however, the Mithril ore could not be found. Still, I did not think sorry unexpectedly.

Recently I have something to think about.

You gained shared skills and have more time to hunt. When the Knights helped me in Oak Village, I knew I was in a fairly free environment. Next year, Mithril's mining rights will become unprofitable incomes, and she will be able to live without any inconvenience.

I recently realized that something was missing.

There was something missing in the village of Krena. It was a status. He desperately hunted Albaheron to make his family a commoner, leading the way in boa hunting. I couldn't get out of the village but it was very fulfilling.

How about now? Maybe the situation is like desperately hunting slime around the castle. Keep hunting slimes until the level is over. They have enough money and do not worry about the enemy. I just do my routine every day.

(Mine right? Why is this meat useless?)

I feel like carrying unnecessary meat that I don't need to carry. I came to this world to get involved. I don't want to live a safe life.

This is not the kind of work that I do.

When I came to the museum at the age of eight, I was thinking of becoming an adventurer. Mihai asked you to protect Cecil. Replying to Mihai's last wish, "Yes." I want to respond to that wish.

I am 12 years old. It's time to take the next step. Life hunting slimes around castles is definitely not the answer.

"Hey, is that a thought?"

I can call Rickel.

"No, no"

A four-year chat with my servant, Rickel, during breakfast. Rickel will quit his servant next year and become a master or cook. It seems that the servant is not a profession for decades, but has to give up to his successor. They are consulted in the usual light tone to find out which job is easier.

I think that idea is also Rickel. Perhaps you're watching Rickel and you're probably thinking too much.

"It looks like another royal messenger is coming. Mithril, Mithril.

"That's right. What is it for just recently came?"

The royal family has used Baron Granver many times. However, over the past year or so, I feel that the frequency is increasing rapidly.

The requirements include checking the schedule of mythril mining and the current progress. Mithril can no longer be obtained from Viscount Carnel in the White Dragon Mountains. He comes to the museum with a very similar dunning attitude to see if there is not enough mithril in the kingdom.

In the early days that came the other day, the date and time were specified, but we did not tell us what to talk about.

Allen also had a royal messenger coming after noon, so the butler was told to stay in the dining room on the second floor after the baron had lunch.

Two men came to the hall just after 13:00.

The baron breathes when the butler guides him into the dining room.

One was a royal messenger. There are many royal messengers, but the royal castle department determines who will come to the palace. So it was a familiar royal messenger I had met before.

And the other was a man who couldn't be helped just because he was familiar.

Coming with the royal messenger was Viscount Carnel.

"Well, come here"

The baron pretends to be calm and speaks. The Baron also wondered if the messenger came today because of Mithril. Therefore, the baron's wife and children are also present in the cafeteria. If Baron Carnel came, he would have been alone.

"I have heard that Baron Granvert is actively working on the development of the territory. It is an example of a nobleman."

The royal ambassador speaks as he looks down at the birthday seat opposite the baron. Allen sees that and still thinks that the royal messenger is quite arrogant.

Viscount Carnel, without sitting, stands just behind the royal messenger, just like an aide. Just like a butler standing behind the baron.

"So, how did you come today?"

Then the royal messenger says, "Hum," and announces after enough silence.

"Today we have one offer for Baron Granvert."

"Proposal?"

"That's right. There may be some notoriety among the nobles in the kingdom. It's a proposal to solve it."

"Is it a problem?"

The baron looks around to see if he was fighting. I can't think of anything.

"Yes, it's a big deal between Baron Grande Vermont and Baron Carnell. I wonder if we need a solution to this problem that can't be overlooked as a royal family."

"Oh, that's ..."

There is only one large piece in the Baron Grande and Baron Carnell. Mithril in the White Dragon Mountains. Certainly, generations have always had problems. Both territories have repeatedly prospered and declined while being tossed by the White Dragon.

"Well, I brought this today."

Viscount Carnel, in response to the words of the royal messenger, brings a rounded letter to the baron's seat.

The butler reacts and receives Viscount Carnel's letter with both hands. Place the letter on the baron's seat.

"Th-This is?"

"Read it"

Read first without asking. Spread out the parchment wrapped and tied with strings and start reading. The face of the baron who started reading suddenly changed.

"That's like this ..."

"Well, are there any problems? Did I move to solve the problem?"

"No, joint management of the White Dragon Mountains. This is it."

"What is this ?? This happens because the territory is divided at the top of the White Dragon Mountains. The White Dragon Mountains are managed jointly.

(Joint management? Baron and Viscount co-manage the White Dragon Mountains? Seriously, so is the Viscount grinning?)

Viscount Carnell smiles behind the royal angel. She seems to be shaking her shoulders and laughing desperately.

The royal messenger brought a contract for the Baron and Viscount to co-manage the White Dragon Mountains. It states that both aristocrats share the burden and profit.

"No, but"

"Are you dissatisfied? I asked the Deputy Minister of Justice to make a contract to solve your problem."

"But ..."

"It's good. Viscount Carnel is already famous."

The royal messenger tells the confused and confused baron that he should only sign the contract without saying anything more. It seems that the contract is over.

Silence is born. The royal messenger looks at the baron glaring.

"... I'm sorry. Even if you suddenly say something like this, can I check with the royal family once?"

The baron finally squeezes words out of thought.

"What? I couldn't sign a contract that I had to dedicate to the Deputy Minister?"

"No, no. I only need to check it once. I would like to go to the royal capital to check it."

"Well, I can't trust you. It seems like you've become arrogant because you can take mythril.

Then the royal angel rises and heads for the exit quickly. Viscount Carnell follows behind like an aides. When the butler tried to follow him, he shut down the door strongly, saying no need to send it off.

A dining room where the royal family has lost use. A contract is thrown out in front of the baron.

"There's no such ridiculous contract. Sebas, I'll go to the royal capital once. Did the commander of Knight two days later?"

"Yes, we are returning from the White Dragon Mountains, so we should be back in town two days later."

The time stopped by the royal messenger begins to check the situation as if it had advanced. As soon as the Knights return, they will be on a magic boat to head to the royal capital.

It is said that both barons and servants who have gathered in the cafeteria have been dissolved.

A few hours later, Allen is engaged in an afternoon job. Even when it comes to work, I help people who aren't enough except for waiters. I cook and do garden work. I do laundry, but today I use the cloth to clean the silverware used by the baron.

(Co-management, it's awkward enough to hear)

I remember what happened earlier, wiping the silver tableware with a cloth.

Co-management, peaceful operation, equal distribution without conflict

I think it is difficult to refuse this because the words are beautiful. If you refuse, it means why you refused. You may be deprived of monopoly. I was wondering what I could do when I went to the capital city.

It was that time.

Gasha Aan

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa !!"

A woman's scream resounded in the hall from the upper floor.
