Chapter 88

The decision to deal with the three races was made, and the implementation of everything was left to my subordinates.

In the midst of all this, the physical strength of a sixteen-year-old started to go out of control.

 

I feel like doing whatever comes to my mind.

The idea was to talk to the children who wanted to work because there was little entertainment.

 

An entertainment where everyone is enjoying it is impossible, but …… 

If they like it, they will be into it.

It’s the kind of thing that, if developed, will be useful for the future development of the territory.

 

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

 

It was a good day when I thought of it.

Kiara asked me.

 

“Where are you going?”

 

“In search of a man’s romance.”

 

Putting aside the question marks in both of their heads, I headed for my destination.

 

“I’m not working, so I’m going out alone.”

 

I asked Ludvig to get me a map.

On my way, I stopped by Onyxim’s workshop.

 

I then asked Onyxim to do a little work in exchange for a drink.

The empty building will be dedicated for that purpose.

 

“So, my lord. You want me to build a square frame here so that the water won’t leak out?”

 

“Yes, please. I also want to be able to use the clay here.”

 

“Give me some more sake. Then I’ll give you the clay. But that’s quite a lot …… a clay for a 1 frame five meters on a side.”

 

“One barrel …… I’ll give it to you with lord’s authority.”

 

“Hoh~ …… You can take as much as you want from the workshop, then.”

 

“We have a deal. One barrel a month.”

 

“So …… what is it you’re up to?”

 

“It’s just a pastime, a man’s indulgence.”

 

Onyxim looked interested.

 

“What’s with that most fascinating word after alcohol.”

 

“I’m trying to present a new hobby to the children.”

 

“Hmm, I’ll be happy to help if I find it interesting.”

 

“It’s very reassuring.”

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

After a firm handshake, I headed to the wolf children.

I was instructed not to work, so I had a lot of free time on my hands.

 

“Ah, my lord?”

 

They all gathered around.

Really, I’m treated as everyone’s entertainment ……

 

“I need your help with something.”

 

“What’s that?”

 

All of them looked at my request for work with expectant eyes.

 

Uh, it hurts my heart a little.

 

If they’re not interested in this, it’ll be very boring…

Feeling a little guilty, I explained.

 

“If it’s not boring, do something else you want to do. I don’t want you to be forced to do this just because I ask you to. If you enjoy it, please continue.”

 

“The preface is too long.”

 

The children booed.

I scratched my head.

It seems that the preface was too long.

 

The bossy wolf girl stepped forward and peered at me.

 

“Just tell me, my lord.”

 

This girl is rather in charge of the kids.

Women are so strong ……

 

“Then please follow me.”

 

With curious glances from those around me, I led the children to the empty building.

If I was blowing a pipe, I’d be the Piper of Hamelin.

I’m the one leading the way, though, so everyone is at ease.

Then, even the children of the humans who were playing gathered.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

When we get to the building, I put the map on the wall.

In front of a square frame and a lot of clay, the children have a question mark on their heads.

 

“We have a map here, right? I want you to recreate the same thing here with the clay.”

 

A diorama is a man’s dream.

I don’t have a castle or anything, so I’ll use a map instead.

The girl who was the leader earlier asked me.

 

 

“My lord, what is this for?”

 

Because she’s a child, she can’t be fooled.

I explained as carefully as I could.

 

“Rather than looking at a map, you can use a model that looks like a real terrain to help you think. And this will help us when we develop our territory in the future.”

 

Keep the geography in mind.

Simulate the development of your territory in advance.

If you learn it as a child, it can be useful in the future.

 

“I don’t understand.”

 

I guess so.

It’s hard to explain in concrete terms.

 

“When adults want to build a town, a road, or a harbor. They think of a model in their mind …… and build it here.”

 

One of the children asked a straightforward question.

 

“Then why do we need it?”

 

“The thing is. The model in your mind is different for everyone. That’s why, when you start building, you often find that it’s not what you expected.”

 

One child said.

 

“Oh, when my dad builds something for his master, he gets angry and says, “This isn’t it!”, I wonder if it’s the same as that.”

 

“Oh, that’s clever. That’s fine.”

 

Forgive me, unknown father.

 

“Also …… if you can do this, it will help you when you build your town in the future.”

 

Another child raised his hand.

 

“Isn’t a town decided by the lord?”

 

“It’s true for other places. But this town needs to be decided by everyone.”

 

“Ohhhhh!”

 

Some of the kids were excited.

Thank goodness …… there were like-minded people here.

 

“Don’t tell anyone about this, but the truth is ……  not many people, even the great ones, can draw an accurate map in their heads.”

 

One of the kids tilted his head.

 

“Is that so?”

 

“Yes. If you can do this model, you will be smarter than most adults. You will be a great person here in the future. It’s just for fun, but it will help you in your future work. But it’s a game, so if you find it boring, I don’t want you to force yourself to continue. Only those who find it fun should continue. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not continuing. I’ll think of something else that is fun to do.”

 

In my previous life, I learned about society through collaborative work, just like I learned in school.

I want you to learn how to work with people.

It is the duty of the lord to provide that opportunity.

That said, I started playing mud with the children.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

And in the evening, I was covered in mud as I returned to my office.

Kiara furrowed her brow.

 

“Brother …… Is the romance your talking about mean getting covered in mud?”

 

Mil looks worried.

 

“Al…… is something stressing you out?”‘

 

A man’s romance is not something a woman can understand.
