"Phew, finally ......."
In the few days since Chris's letter arrived, the preparations for accepting the beastmen children were going smoothly with the help of everyone in the mansion.
Incidentally, the room I am in right now is the office in the dormitory where we are going to host all the beastmen.
This room, which will likely be my workplace from now on, is built the same way as my father's office, with a desk for office work and a sofa and desk for talking with others.
I sat at the table and read over the letter I had received from Chris the other day.
The letter also mentioned the number of days it would take to transport the beastmen from Barsto, and based on the information in the letter, Chris and the other would be back here today at the earliest, or within a few days at the latest.
"I'm sure it will be fine ...... because I'm getting the cooperation of all the Bardia maids and I've informed Sandra and Capella and the others."
I muttered a few words to overcome my indescribable sense of uneasiness.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door and Diana's voice echoed through the room.
I answered, the door opened, and Deanna looked at me and bailed.
Rid-sama, Chris-sama has returned. I'll show you to the guest room now, would you like to come in?"
"I'll be in the guest room as soon as I can. I"
Chris, she came back.
That meant that the beastmen's children were finally arriving.
I rushed to the guest room with my heart racing.
◇
When I arrived in front of the guest room to which Deana had led me, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
After hearing her answer, I opened the door to the room, entered, and looked at Chris.
When she saw me, she stood up on the spot, smiled at me, and bailed out with a beautiful movement.
I couldn't help but run up to her and smile with full of smile on my face.
"Chris, thank you for what you did this time. , I think we can get a number of things in motion thanks to you. I really can't thank you enough for your help ".
Chris looked a little surprised at my attitude and words, but immediately smiled.
"I am merely fulfilling a request from . . Besides, if it weren't for the knights and carriages that Master Rid arranged for me, I don't think this matter would have gone so well."
She was modest, but without Chris' help in setting up the groundwork and sales channels, things would not have proceeded as smoothly as they did.
I accepted her words and again conveyed my gratitude.
"I am glad to hear you say that. but I'm sure it was all thanks to you. So thank you so much .......""
As soon as I finished, I suddenly held out my right hand.
Chris noticed my intention, and with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, she shook my hand firmly.
But her face immediately changed and she looked at me as if she was nailing me with a strong gaze.
"But the hard part is just ahead,. I came back first to confirm the arrangements, but after this, the beastmen's children will be arriving in droves.'
......⁉ Okay. Can you let me know what's going on right away?"
I sat down on the sofa so I was facing Chris and began to quietly listen to her explanation.
She told me that the beastmen this time were finally from six to ten years old, and she also gave me a detailed description of the children.
Cat tribe - 13
Werewolf tribe - 12
Fox tribe - 34
Bird tribe 16
Horse tribe 11
Ape- tribe 14
Ox-tribe 12
Bear tribe 12
Rat tribe 12
Rabbit tribe 13
Raccoon tribes ・12
Total ・162 (105 girls and 57 boys)
......That's all for the breakdown. I returned first on my horse, but the carriage is being transported while escorted by a group of knights led by Dinas-san. Emma has taken over the coordination between my trading company and the knight order, so there is no problem on this point either. Now all we have to do is accept them."
Chris laid out a dozen or so papers from the purchase of the beastmen's children on his desk and gave me a breakdown of them.
The letter I received earlier didn't go into this much detail, so I put my hand over my mouth as I read through the papers thoughtfully
......I see. But still, there are a lot of "fox tribe" people.
"Yes,. I was also surprised to learn that it was a tribe of fox people who were in charge of this slave auction. So it seems that there were a lot of children from the tribe of fox people. ...... I am concerned that many of the children from the tribe of fox people are little ....... As for them, I think it would be better to let them build up their strength without pushing them too hard in the beginning".
When she finished, Chris looked worried.
She has actually observed their condition.
As long as she then says that it would be better to let them build up their physical strength, the children from the Fox people tribe might have to be a little more attentive to them.
Besides, it is a pleasant miscalculation that there are so many fox people.
They are the ones Ellen said she wanted.
I understand. I'll tell everyone to be as hospitable as possible to the tribe's children.
Thank you, Master Rid for that .....
When Chris heard my response, she went from a worried look to a happy smile and bailed.
I shook my head and smiled.
". Chris's advice is always right on the money, and it's great that he told me first this time, too.'
"I'm glad to hear you say that. ' ......
Chris smiled a little shyly when she heard my response.
I continued to ask questions of her.
"By the way, when I look at the gender ratio of the beastie kids, it seems like there are more girls, but I feel like there's a reason for this too.'
"...... Yes. The beastman tribe doesn't seem to give out many 'boys' because of the strong belief that they are 'weak and strong,' or because they are likely to become stronger in the future. ...... later, it seems that it is also simply because they can be used as laborers as well."
..."...I see."
I nodded quietly when I heard Chris's story.
The fact that the world has not developed magic and technology, a strong male hand may be connected directly to the labor force and productivity.
But I think that what I am going to do from now on will also be an opportunity to break the 'weak man, strong man' system.
What would they think if they saw the children of beastmen, who were forced to leave their country, playing an active role as the weak? It may be inappropriate, but I might as well look forward to their reaction now.
When I was thinking about this, a question suddenly came to my mind and I asked Chris,
"Chris, by the way, do the beastmen children also have a strong 'weak vs. strong' attitude?"
"Well, yes. I have that feeling, to be honest. ...... If it had been just us in the business meeting, some of them might have started a revolt. Even though they are little, the physical ability of the beastmen race is not to be underestimated.' ......
"What ...... riot?"
Chris's unexpected response made me look at her with a puzzled expression on my face.
The riot is indeed not a very peaceful thing to do.
If there are a lot of tough kids, maybe we should think of some way to convince them.
I continued to discuss with Chris about the possibility of accepting the program, thinking about that.

"Deanna, give my regards to Marietta, the head maid, and Frau, the vice head maid. Also, give my regards to father and Garn. Also, please contact the head cook, Arly. Here are the orders".
"Yes, Master".
After the meeting with Chris was over, I put the information into a paper.
I called Deanna and presented her with several papers.
Deanna received the papers politely and left the room
With this, the preparations for welcoming the beastmen children were complete, and all that was left to do was to wait for their arrival.
I looked out the window and whispered in my heart, while my heart leapt with anticipation.
(Well, what kind of kids are coming?)
