121 Lesson 4: We'll build an orphanage (2)

In front of the former illegal slave women, I explained what I wanted Bell to do.

"... so I'm going to build an orphanage in this city. I don't know what I need, so I asked Bell to build it."

"Is that what you mean? Then I'd be happy to help. How big are you going to build an orphanage?

"I'm trying to remodel Gotz's house and turn it into an orphanage. A lot of people can live there, right?

"Do you build an orphanage that big? Who the hell takes care of so many kids?

Sure, it's big, but given the population of this city, I think it's a reasonable size, huh?

"In the newly built orphanage, the maids who used to work at Gotz's mansion decided to work for them."

True, I'm glad the maids agreed immediately.

When it comes to recruiting new people, it will have been difficult over time.

"Really? I see. Shall we head there, then? I'm going to go over there and say a lot about what I need."

"Yeah, thanks. I'm sorry everyone took Belle out."

I apologized to everyone before I transferred.

Since Belle and Leena are the only bases of everyone's hearts, it sounds cute to take Belle...

Oh, yeah. Before you go, would you ask Leena to stay with everyone?

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about that much. More than that, I'm talking about the orphanage we were talking about..."

"Hmm? What happened to the orphanage?

Was there something wrong with her or something?

"Will you let me work there, too?

Huh? Oh, you mean that?

"So, are you okay? Well, there's only women there... right. Yeah, maybe it's better as a working environment than I thought. All right. Try working."

No man but a child will come in there.

Later, let's turn the gatekeeper into a woman too.

"Is that okay!? Thanks!

"Oh, um..."

"Wow, so are we..."

Seeing that Mr. Anne was allowed, the others have offered as well.

"Everybody? Okay. So, shall we all go now? Then you can touch me anywhere."

Well, if it was just the maids, they would have been understaffed one day if they had more kids, so it would be perfectly fine to have about twenty more.

With that in mind, I transferred with everyone.

"Here we are."

The transfer came from a large garden in the former Gotz mansion.

"Outside."

"Long time no see..."

"The wind feels good"

Until now, Anne and the others, incarcerated and even after liberation, had closed their curtains and caged themselves in their rooms, rejoicing in each and every one of them outside for a long time.

"Everyone seems happy."

"Yes, I've been caged in my room freaking out."

I saw the Annes, and Belle seemed happy.

Well, Belle's been with them the whole time, so you'd be happier than me.

"It would have been hard before...... I hope it gets better from now on."

"Right."

"So, shall we start remodeling the mansion? Look around the mansion and tell me if you need anything."

If it wasn't time to start renovating, I moved the story that way because the orphanage wasn't going to be finished by the end of the day.

"Okay."

As he walked out toward the mansion with Bell's reply, Mr. Anne and the others followed him in a hurry.

"Hmm? You can stay here. When you're done, I'll be back here."

When I said that, Anne looked so sad.

"No, because I'm anxious we're still the only ones..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's right. Then let's take a look around the mansion together."

On second thought, right?

Though it's something to be aware of when you think about it, I'm a real idiot.

As I entered the mansion with reflection in my head, the maid chief here came out.

"Ah, Master Leons. What's wrong with you people?

"Eh...... Let me explain this to you first. This child is my exclusive maid… the others are the ones who will be working here."

"Really, I get it. My name is Camilla and I am the maid director here. Thank you very much."

Upon hearing my explanation, the maid chief immediately introduced herself to Belle and Anna.

"Regards"

"Nice to meet you"

To Mr Camilla's greeting, Belle and Mr Anne replied.

Others still seem to have difficulty talking to their first person, even a woman.

Little by little, get used to the maids here.

"Then I'll remodel Bell and this mansion. Mr. Camilla, will you stay with everyone? And gather the other maids here."

"Yes, I understand"

"Everybody's a work buddy from where we're going to work, so stay close now."

If we're going to work here, we have to get along with Mr. Camilla and the maids here.

"Yes, sir"

Yeah, it's gonna be tough, but come on!

"Well, I'll be there."

Where the maids came from, me and Belle started looking around the mansion.

"First of all, I think it's about securing a place to sleep. What do you say?"

That's how many beds we need for a lot of kids to live here, right?

"Yes. If you're going to use this mansion for the first time, I think you need a lot of beds. And I think we need a dining room where everyone eats."

Sure, we all need a place to eat.

"Right. The dining room has a party venue, so let's turn it into a dining room. And if I don't use the maids' room other than the one connected to the safe, I'll make it all my bedroom."

Gotz was the only one who lived in this large mansion, so it looks like there were a bunch of rooms he hadn't used. Truth is, you're wasting your taxes.

"Right."

"Anything else you need?

"Uh... I wish I could... I want a room to study or read a book."

Oh, I forgot! You can't just build a bed!

"Speaking of which, you are. Without learning, you can't stand on your own. Ok, I wonder what the teacher who teaches to study... as the book comes to buy up a lot in Imperial Capital..."

From now on, do we have to recruit teachers?

"One of the maids here, I think, has someone to teach. Besides, I think Anne and I can teach you magic and physics."

"Sure, if you're an elf, you're good at magic, and if you're an animal man, you're good at physical surgery"

If you think about it, it's a great luxury for an elf to teach you magic from childhood.

"Yes, I think you can live as an adventurer, even if you can just learn how to fight here"

That's right. Better to be an adventurer without even knowing how to fight, because you'll have an extraordinary chance of success, survival.

"Sure. And if you're strong, you can join my Knights."

I guess I'll add you to the Knights I might build in the future.

All you have to do is study hard and be my civilian.

All right, we need to improve our education.

"Nice. Why don't we ask Anne and the others when we get home?"

"Yeah, why don't you ask me when you're done remodeling. All right, then we'll start modifying!

With that said, I peered into the first room.

"You start on the ground floor. We don't need a big reception room for this waste, so do we make this a library room?"

I used the desks and chairs in the reception room as materials to create a lot of bookshelves.

With all this, you can buy a lot of books.

"Next thing you know, the kitchen... has to cook a lot of food, so let's go through"

Originally it's big, so it'll be fine.

The next room was a bath.

"This bath... let's not break it. The bath will heal your body and mind."

I remodeled only the magic fixture where the hot water comes out, and the bathroom later.

"Next thing you know, it's the maids' room around here. Don't touch this place, let's move on."

It's a place I've lived in, so it would be better to stay like this than to change it weird.

"So, behind the maids' room, there's a hidden staircase where you can go to the basement of the example. Let's make this a room for me, Belle and Leena to use when they stay."

Let's keep it off-limits and make it a room where we're the only ones who can get in.

"All right, we're going upstairs!

When I went upstairs, there was a line of rooms that nobody was using.

"Let's start by turning wasted rooms into bedrooms."

Inside the room, I go around creating two bunk beds.

I made it a bunk bed so I could play in my room properly.

If the room was just filled with beds, it would be like a hospital.

"And let's get rid of a desk or something and make this awfully wasted Gotz room a free space to play"

The tall desks and chairs in the room were used as ingredients to create toys that could be played indoors, such as building blocks and dolls.

"Finally, Gotz's wastefully large bedroom... let's remodel it and turn it into a classroom"

Large beds were used as ingredients to create desks, chairs and blackboards.

"Ugh, it's over. Can I look like this?

After all the room remodeling, I checked with the bell I'd been watching behind.

"Yes. I think it's okay. After that, I think we should change it if necessary."

"Right. Then hurry back to everyone."

They're all waiting for you in the front door.

"It's over. What do you say we get along a little?

When I came back, Anne and the others had a normal conversation with the maids here.

Yeah, the others are getting along with what I saw with the maids.

"Yes, I'm fine"

"That was good. Oh, I just want to ask you one thing, is there anyone in here who can teach the kids how to study?

"I can do it."

With that voice, several maids, including Mr. Camilla, raised their hands.

"Oh, I did. Can I teach my kids how to study from now on?

"Yes. Okay."

Yay!! True, the Gotz maids were excellent and helpful ~.

"Okay. And then, who can teach you magic?

"Yes."

Three elves raised their hands, along with Anne, who replied.

"Good. Can the four of you teach your kids magic from now on?

"Yes, I'm fine"

"Good. And then... can anyone teach you how to use your body technique, swordsmanship or bow?

'Yes!'

A lot of people raised their hands to this.

You're all wearing some kind of escort.

Well, you're anxious when you think about the security of this city.

"It's good to be around a lot. Well, I asked for it."

"Yes."

"Okay. Then I'm going to explain the room where the remodeling is done, folks, follow me!

Then I explained it to everyone as I showed them my room.
