Chapter 139

3rd Person POV

Well, in her previous life, she was an employee who died from exhaustion after being overworked to death. Even though she was thinking about it in the corner of her mind, for that reason, she would like to try to create an organization that strikes a work and life balance in this life.

I’ll avenge Edo in Nagasaki! Though it’s much further away!

This world favors the employer more than those in her previous life. Even in that one, her previous world was one in which disgruntled employees and unions established workers’ rights over a long period.

However, that doesn’t mean that employed people have no rights whatsoever. As she was doing some work in the office, she heard that some laws and conventions protected them to a certain extent. She would like to ask the experts about that in this world.

“Do as you wish. Lord Vassily will admire it, and I’d like to know what results you get from your attempt. Your ideas are truly brilliant.” (Alexei)

Alexei smiles.

Sorry, it wasn’t my idea, it was something that was discussed in a previous life, sorry.

“…Even though you’ve only been out in the world for about four months. You’ve become an invaluable member of the duke’s family, not to mention me. Not only have you contributed to our work, but your love and compassion have given me so much joy. No amount of gratitude will ever be enough.” (Alexei)

“…” (Ekaterina and others)

Oh, no.

It caught her off guard, and she was so moved that she started to squirm…

Oh, the joy!

“Big Brother…I’m more than happy to hear that.”

“I’m glad you said that.”

Alexei said with a new expression on his face.

1st Person POV (Ekaterina)

“It’s been less than a year since I took over the title of Duke. There are still many things yet to be done, but there is one thing that I would like to work on as soon as I get settled. My grandfather once tried to start this, but he passed away before it could take shape. It is his legacy. I would like to take over such an endeavor. Eventually, this may become a major project that will require the full power of Yurinova… Will you lend me your strength?”

“Of course, it would be a pleasure to be able to join you in what you want to do, big brother. It’s a pleasure to help my big brother do what he wants to do, and it’s something he inherited from his grandfather. I’ll do anything I can to help.”

If it’s something my big brother wants to do, I’ll support him unconditionally. Moreover, it’s a big project that can be said to be grandfather’s legacy… I have a feeling that it’s going to be a project filled with romance again. I love it.

“Aaron.”

Alexei made a summon, and the mine manager, Aaron Kyle, stood up quickly, replacing Halil, who entered the office with a fine leather folder in his hand.

“Young lady, please take a look at this first. It is a paper written by your great-uncle, Professor Isaac.”

The way he held it out was so elegant. Aaron-san, who looks like a scholar, was a mineral enthusiast and seemed to worship our great-uncle Isaac, who is also a mineralogist. Great-uncle Isaac’s papers may be like a holy scripture to him.

But first, he told me, that this paper was a major piece of work….

Oh, and the contents were serious, too. It had a lot of technical terms.

But I will try my best. I picked up what I could understand and managed to figure it out.

At any rate, the title of the paper is [Continuation of activated magic – Use of magic power contained in rainbow stones and magic circles].

There was a theory that the rainbow stone is a mineral that contains condensed magic power.

And a magic circle! It was a romance topic in my previous life, but in this world…. They were academically studied many times, and you can find them in most books on magic control. However, it was concluded that the effect of amplifying magic power was not that great for the amount of time and effort it took, so it was almost completely abandoned now.
