Before Kriemhild’s arrival, the original proposal to add personnel to the representatives’ meeting was presented to me.

 

 

I made it clear that I would accept the proposal.

But I did not say that I would accept it without saying anything.

 

 

There was one condition, though, that I wanted them to be aware of.

You must be able to give reasons for your selection of personnel.

 

I did not say that I would accept them just for some reason or to admit some unintelligible reason.

I would accept the conclusions they came to after thinking about them.

 

This was not a problem since Mil and Kiara were holding the reins.

Thanks to them, they were all on their toes.

 

 

The selection of Mil and Kiara’s assistants was almost complete.

We need about three people each, but they want to make the final selection after Kriemhild’s group arrives.

It seems they would like to pay attention to those who have had unfortunate experiences with the apostles.

I just told them that I had left it up to them and they didn’t need my permission.

 

 

As for the increase in the number of the Elite Guards, it was a difficult task.

It was fine until we added the winged tribe, the cat tribe, and the demon tribe.

Jules asked me for advice on how to balance the tribes of the rest of the personnel.

 

“My lord, I would like to increase the size of the Elite Guards from the current four to about twenty people. I’m having a hard time figuring out what to do with the race composition …… How should I do this?”

 

You’re being dragged down by the fact that you’re advocating for race equality.

 

“There should be a minimum of two people from each race to avoid alienation. Other than that, we can use any composition that will help us achieve our goal.”

 

“Yes, sir. Would it be all right to make the three current vice-captains and assign personnel to each of them? Or is it better to keep the vice-captains equal as well?”

 

If you insist on equality to that extent, you will end up with inequality.

It’s all about a sense of balance.

This is something you need to accumulate experience with.

 

I shook my head.

 

“As for the quota of the Elite Guards, there should be a minimum number of seats for each tribe. As for the ranks and assignments within the Elite Guards, please make sure the right people are in the right places. As for the meaning of the right person, I’ll leave that to Sir Jules’ judgment.”

 

Jules seemed to tense at the mention of deferring to my judgment.

 

“Yes, sir …… So I have to think of it myself.”

 

I don’t want to him go too far, after all.

I spoke to Jules in a casual manner.

 

“You don’t have to think about everything on your own. You can consult with Sir Rossi and the current members of the Elite Guards to determine the criteria for your decision. Sometimes it’s a good insight to ask for the wisdom of others.”

 

Jules seemed to realize that he had been exerting himself, and scratched his head and smiled shyly.

 

“Yes, after all ……”

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“You can’t claim to be 17 years old, my lord.”

 

Hey.

 

“I’m 17.”

 

Mil and Kiara, who were working, looked at each other in astonishment.

 

“Al …… You’d better stop your futile resistance.”

 

“Brother, it’s unseemly.”

 

What terrible people.

I exaggeratedly looked up above.

 

“What are you going to do if I become a demon?”

 

The three of them, Mil, Kiara and Jules, had a subtle expression on their faces that was hard to describe.

As if to break the delicate atmosphere, Delphine came rushing in.

 

“My lord, w-w-what should I do?”

 

“What’s wrong? I’ve heard that your marriage is going well.”

 

Delphine’s cheeks flushed a little and she almost swooned, but she seemed to come back to reality quickly.

 

“No, it’s not! …… What do you mean by suddenly establishing a Ministry of Education!”

 

Delphine had been absent from the representatives’ meeting yesterday due to illness.

At yesterday’s meeting, I ordered the establishment of a new Ministry of Education.

It’s not that I was trying to take you by surprise, it’s just that I genuinely tried to declare it and forgot ……

Delphine’s absence only reminded me of it.

The ill-natured grandma Magali grinned at the thought of being released from babysitting the children, but then turned white eyed at my pronouncement that ‘you will also serve as an advisor there.

Robert was happy to hear that his wife was being appointed to a key position ……

I guess that means he was appalled.

 

“It’s not out of the blue. I’ve been talking about it for a while, haven’t I?”

 

“N-No, that’s right, but… Why now? I don’t know why being the minister is good!”

 

I shrugged my shoulders.

 

“I’ve heard that many of Miss Kriemhild’s group can read and write. If we have a Ministry of Education, we can argue with other ministries for human resources.”

 

If it is a subordinate organization of a ministry, it will be less persuasive in securing human resources.

People who can read and write are especially valuable, and there is a battle for them.

We need to erase the handicap.

Delphine, who didn’t know what I was thinking, put her hand in her head.

 

“I understand that, but …… what should I do! I don’t know what kind of organization I should create, it’s like you’re not even listening to me!”

 

“It’s a first for you …… So I’m sure it is.”

 

“There’s no way everyone can organize themselves as easily as you, my lord, with brains of unknown age!”

 

Hey, haven’t been treating me badly lately? The other three are holding back their laughter.

 

“It’s because you’re trying to do it all by yourself that you get so overwhelmed. You should consult with Ms. Ardelheid, who recently created a new ministry, and Madam Plunkett, the all-purpose advisor.”

 

She stiffened for a moment, and then looked as if she had just had an epiphany.

 

“Y-You’re right …… I’ll consult with her!”

 

“Why don’t you consult your husband too? I’m sure Sir Melchiorri if you rely on him.”

 

Delphine nodded her head.

 

“I think so! I’ll consult with him!”

 

Delphine went out in high spirits. 

After seeing her off, I sighed.

 

“It’s good that they’re all thinking independently. But they seem to be putting too much effort into it…”

 

Mil looked at me with a frown and sighed.

 

“After all that blasting, everyone’s going to be overwhelmed.”

 

Is it me? Is it because of me?
