Chapter 744

It was more like a briefing

I looked at the people who had gathered and spoke loud enough for all of them to hear.

“You will be working in a village that is a little far away from Ractos. It is called Range village. I’m sure that you have heard of it...”

I said and waited for a moment. There were murmurs as they nodded their heads.

“There we will be growing fields of herbs. And so you will be working in these fields. Though, some will be helping to concote the medicine or manage the others.”

“May I ask you a question?”

“Yes. Number 4. What is it?”

A woman had raised her hand.

Sebastian gave his permission, and so she stood up.

She was middle-aged and had short hair. I got the impression that she must be a housewife.

“These herbs. Are you certain that you can even grow them? It is possible that the temperature and soil will not be right for them.”

“Hmm... That is a good question. Mr. Takumi?”

Said Sebastian, and I thought about how I would explain it.

This was not something that I had done before. And besides, herbs were usually something picked in the wilds. So she was right to be doubtful.

Of course, you could not judge people by appearances alone.

“You said that you would build a wide sales network in the duke’s lands. But surely that would be difficult when it’s from just one village? Even if you could grow herbs, it would need to be done in vast farmlands, or it would not be enough.”

Hmmm. Number 17 must have a good grasp on the size of the lands and the population.

That was promising.

“As I said before, there is no problem when it comes to numbers and types. As the duke’s butler, I have made calculations, and the conclusion was that there would be enough. It is just a matter of whether you trust the duke and Mr. Takumi.”

“The duke...”

Sebastian answered for me. And since he brought up Mr. Ekenhart, there was a lot of murmuring among the crowd.

“You are right to be concerned. Normally, such a thing would be impossible. However, the duke believes that it will be possible through Mr. Takumi’s methods. However, we cannot reveal that to you until you are officially hired.”

“I understand. I am satisfied with that answer for now.”

“Thank you.”

I probably should have answered it, but since I didn’t know what to say, I was grateful that Sebastian answered for me.

Besides, he enjoyed doing it so much. He looked more lively.

Really, he was so reliable in these moments...
