After watching Charles leave, Kiara looked disapprovingly at him.

 

“That was …… very rude to brother, wasn’t it?”

 

I’m glad you’re angry for me, though.

 

“He’s been on the short end of the stick for a long time. he can’t help but be sarcastic.”

 

Kiara is pouting.

 

“Maybe, but ……”

 

“He’s the kind of guy who, once you’ve established a trusting relationship with him, is very reassuring.”

 

Kiara looked a little unconvinced.

She tilted her head with a pouty face.

 

“Is that so?”

 

“He’s the kind of person who blames irrationality and inconsistency. How would you feel about …… being given all the power there? If you do something wrong, it will come back like a boomerang. And he’s a proud man. He’s not going to let anything ugly happen to him like being hit by the boomerang he threw. So he’ll do his best.”

 

Before I was reincarnated, there were a lot of people who were masters of hunting themselves with boomerangs ……

There was even a performer who would hit himself the moment he threw it.

This makes it easier to tell them apart.

 

“He’s the type to be enthusiastic. Although he doesn’t look it.”

 

Kiara sighed with an air of disapproval.

 

“If that’s what your brother says, then …… I agree.”

 

This kind of overconfidence is very dangerous.

 

“I don’t want you to be overconfident in me.”

 

Kiara turned her head to the side.

As if she didn’t want to hear about it.

 

“It’s not overconfidence. It’s a natural trust.”

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

While I was having an idle conversation with Kiara, I heard the sound of footsteps.

Without even knocking, the door was thrown open and the teacher came running in.

 

“Hey, kiddo! Is it true that you’re going to kidnap me to an uncharted land as your advisor!”

 

Did the word just get out?

 

“Huh? Did you just get the word?”

 

“I’ve been on vacation all this time!”

 

You said something like that.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

 

“Oh …… I see. Please pack your bags as soon as possible. We’re scheduled to leave in a month.”

 

The teacher seemed to be upset, as if he had been taken by surprise.

I told you I was going to overwork you.

 

“Wait a minute! I didn’t say I was going!”

 

I give him a blank stare.

 

 

“Huh? That’s funny. I thought you agreed to go.”

 

“No, I didn’t!”

 

Kiara approaches the teacher with a black aura around her.

The fact that she is smiling and laughing adds to her power.

 

“Sir. Fabio …… May I have a word with you? I’d like to ask you a few questions about your behavior during the pilgrimage.”

 

The teacher backed away as if he had seen Sadako for the first time through 3D glasses.

 

“Wait a minute. Miss Kiara, where do you get such power from ……”

 

Kiara smiled quietly.

You can see it from a distance.

This is quite a bit of pressure.

 

“You know what? It’s because you have a guilty conscience. You can see things you shouldn’t.”

 

The teacher retreated further.

 

“Brother …… I would like to have a word with teacher for a bit. Can you give us a moment? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. I will also reconfirm that he is willing to do so.”

 

I winked at Kiara.

For some reason, Kiara’s cheeks flushed a little and she covered her cheeks with her hands.

The teacher tried to run away, but he was too late.

When Kiara gave him a glare, he stiffened like a frog stared at by a snake.

 

“Yes. Please take care of it.”

 

The teacher looked like a shipwrecked person who was swept away without being put on a lifeboat.

 

“Kiddo! Wait, wait a minute. Mercy! Don’t you have any mercy!”

 

I pretended not to see him and whistled lightly.


 

It’s the Beatles’ HELP, but no one will know.

Then I leave the room and close the door.

I don’t want to say the same thing over and over again.

 

 

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

In the meantime, I’m holed up in Papan’s study.

This is to confirm the technology that can be realized in this world.

Research the basic technologies of urban development to see what is possible and what is based on them.

 

I guess reinforced concrete is no good as a building material.

Of course, the level of technology has not yet caught up.

 

Based on their experience, Roman concrete would work.

Leave that to the engineers.

There was a precedent for it.

The materials in question are volcanic ash, lime, and crushed stone …….

I think I can manage this.

 

After all, the infrastructure of a city can be realized if it is based on ancient Rome.

""

Originally, I was planning to use only local materials.

Only the glass will have to be sent to me ……

 

The next problem is where to get the engineers.

If we’re going to try something new, we’ll need mid-level engineers.

It’s hard to get veterans unless they are good enough.

Such veterans are surrounded by people somewhere.

 

I’ll let the mid-level people gain experience and I’ll take the long view.

 

For now, I should ask Mario about it.

He’s the head steward of the Scala family, so he should have a lot of contacts.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

As I wandered out of the library, Mario was just there.

 

“Mario. Can I have a word with you?”

 

Mario reacted as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.

What did I do to you…?

 

“Yes, sir. Young Master Alfred. What is it?”

 

“In fact, we need engineers to build the infrastructure for our territory development.”

 

Originally, you could call them craftsmen or engineers.

Since the apostle called them engineers, they can’t communicate unless they are called by this name.


 

The apostle’s influence is terrifying.

 

Mario blatantly showed a look of relief.

What the hell did I do to deserve this?

 

“There are many different types of engineers. Do you have a specific job in mind?”

 

“Someone with experience in building concrete structures and aqueducts. If they have the spirit to challenge new things, it is more preferable. At any rate, there will be a lot of local procurement. I don’t want to be told that I don’t have this or that, after all.”

 

Mario thought for a moment as he rubs his mustache.

 

“I see. If that’s the case, I have the perfect person for the job. It’s my brother Ludvig. He recently started his own business …… He wrote to me and complained about the lack of work.”

 

Ludvig …….

Luigi for short.

Were these brothers in a previous life a florist?

Anyway, he fit the bill I gave him.

 

He’s also Mario’s brother, which is a relief.

I’m sure he won’t run away.

That’s the advantage of nepotism.

If you run away or have a bad attitude, the person who recommended you will be in trouble.

This world is a connected society.

In other words, it’s suicide.

 

“I see. We are developing a city out of nothing …… Is it possible to have a general manager? Of course, we don’t want to be perfect right off the bat. I’ll take the long view.”

 

 

 

It’s difficult if you’re just the end of the line.

If you don’t have a certain amount of management experience, you will end up in a goofy position.

The biggest assumption is that I can’t interfere.

If I do, it will be a pattern of oblivion after death.

The people of this world have to do it by themselves.

 

“That’s right …… I don’t have any experience as a general manager. But I do have experience as an assistant. If you can give me some direction, I think I can do it.”

 

Oh, …….

I’m really thankful that we can solve this problem here.

It’s going to be a good start.

 

“That’s great.”

 

Mario shrugged a little at my beaming face.

 

“But Ludvigot can’t do it alone. We’ll need to hire his associates as well.”

 

 

Of course.

We definitely need people to be our hands and feet.

The problem is the number of people.

If we don’t have enough, we’ll consider adding more.

Too many is a problem.

 

“That’s obvious, isn’t it? How many companions does he have?”

 

“Ludvig’s group was about twenty, I think. The world thinks that the apostle’s descent is coming soon. That’s why there is no new construction. Thanks to this, architects only have repair work to do.”

 

When the apostles come, they will be building all over the place.

If we were to build on our own before that, it would be a waste of money.

As a result, everyone will not do any big projects.

It’s that ……

It’s called an apostle recession.

 

 

 

“We’ll hire them all together. Tell my father about it and the change in the budget.”

 

For some reason, Mario straightened his posture.

 

“Yes, sir! Don’t worry, Ludvig’s people are all men!”

 

I don’t understand.

 

“Why does gender matter?”

 

“Well …… as soon as a woman is involved with Young Master Alfred, Miss Kiara becomes …… Hiiiieeeeeeeeeeee”

 

Mario suddenly collapsed.

When I turned around, Kiara was behind me.

Kiara’s face became surprised.

You’re too bad at acting.

 

“Oh my …… I wonder if Mario is tired.”

 

Hey, hey, …….

 

What are you doing?

I couldn’t help but sigh.

 

“You know that you shouldn’t put pressure on Mario.”

 

Kiara had a sparkling smile that stinks of acting.

I’m sure you did something…

 

“I didn’t do that. Don’t you think he suddenly remembered a very painful experience?”

 

I asked a nearby servant to take care of Mario.

However ……

If I leave Kiara at home, there’s going to be in a lot of trouble.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to take her with me, though.
