The day after accepting the beastman children, I was assisted by Capella and Deanna in my office at the inn to complete the paperwork as quickly as possible.
Most of the paperwork that comes to me is related to business with the Christie Trading Company, the construction of the new mansion, and this dormitory.
Most of the paperwork that comes to me is related to the Christie Trading Company.
I finished looking over the documents in my hand and muttered to myself as I stretched out.
'Hmmm. Well, I guess this concludes today's paperwork."
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Rid."
Deanna answered my words and carefully placed another cup of tea on my desk.
"Thank you, Deanna."
"No, not at all".
As I sipped my tea while thanking her, Capella approached me and bailed.
"I've just received word that the Foxmen and Birdmen children who had been suffering from mild illnesses have awakened," she said. How would you like to explain the 'Battle of the Bowls' to them?"
" I will explain it to them. Can I ask them to come to the conference room?"
"Yes, sir."
Capella bobbed his head to me and left the office.
The accommodation has a "conference room" and a "large meeting room.
The conference room is used for small groups of people and the large meeting room is used for large groups of people.
As I was leisurely sipping the tea that Deanna had brewed for me, she looked at me with concern.
Rid-sama, with all due respect, are you sure about Nanalee-sama's matter? If you mean that the fox people are important, I am prepared to force them to cooperate."
As she finishes, she shows me a large number of dark weapons out of nowhere.
I was so shocked by her unexpected behavior that I started coughing and choking on my tea.
'Gohohohoho⁉ That's okay. But I'm very glad to hear your feelings. Thank you.'
:No,...... I know that you, Nanalee-sama, are the light of the Bardia family. If there is anything I can do for you, I will be at your service, so please feel free to order me to do what you need."
Deanna bows to me in a beautiful gesture as she answers.
She was not by my side when I decided to give the last of the werewolf tribe a prescription for the same magic depletion medicine as your mother.
Perhaps she is concerned about that.
I'll ask for your help when I need it. I will ask for your help when I need it.
Yes, anything you need.
I sipped my tea again as I thanked her.
At that time, there was a knock on my door and when I answered it, I heard Capella's voice saying, "I have gathered the bird people and fox people in the conference room."
" I'll be right there."
I answered through the door in a loud voice and moved toward the conference room.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone."
"You're late, big brother. Everyone has been waiting for you."
When I entered the meeting room, Aria, a bird tribe member, came running up to me with a slightly puffed up face.
I smiled at her.
"Sorry, I've been a little busy with work."
'Hmmm, I see. I'd like to introduce you to my sisters.
"Yes, thank you."
Aria's expression changed from one to the other as she looked at the bird tribe girls in the conference room.
I followed her gaze and was a little surprised to see the girls standing in a row.
" They all look a lot like Aria."
"Right?"
The girls are all very similar to each other, although there is a slight difference in height and facial expression.
I've been thinking about it since I was sick in bed, but now that I look at them like this, they really do look alike.
They seemed to notice the way Aria and I were looking at them and bowed their heads toward me.
Then Deanna, who was standing behind me, cleared her throat.
"Aria was it ......, didn't you? You are a little too close to Master Lid, you know. Please go over there with the others and listen to what I have to say."
"What is this ...... mmm⁉?
Aria's cheeks puffed up.
And then, as soon as I felt her about to say those horrible words, I quickly covered her mouth.
Aria rolled her eyes and blinked, as if she was about to say something terrible.
I smiled at her.
"Let's see, her name is Deanna. Aria, she's your new big sister."
"Oh, really? And this one isn't going to leave us or be nasty to us?"
She removes my hand as she replies, surprised at the suddenness of the situation, and I can see the anticipation in her eyes.
Aria is preoccupied as the eldest daughter of the Bird People, but she is really a lonely girl at heart.
I am sure that a woman like Deanna will be of help to her.
I nodded to Aria's words.
'She is a very strong and kind person. She would never leave you or be nasty to you. Isn't that right, Deanna?"
'What ? Yes, of course I would never do such a thing. ..
When Deanna nodded to my words in confusion, Aria jumped to Deanna with a sparkle in her eyes.
", I'm Aria. Nice to meet you."
Deanna was surprised at the suddenness of the greeting.
But, in addition to Aria's happy expression, Deanna noticed that her sisters were also looking at her expectantly, and she muttered to herself as if she had given up.
'Hah ...... Aria, I understand. But as long as you look up to me as your sister, you will learn proper manners."
"Yes, I've always wanted a big sister too. "
I don't think Aria heard Deanna's words right now.
But her smile looks really pleased.
I think Deanna knows that too.
Shaking her head slightly, she gently strokes Aria's head as she hugs her, and turns her gaze to me.
"I'm going to ask you to explain this matter to me later, Rid-sama".
:I will explain it to you properly."
I nodded my head in agreement with her words, and Capella gently told me
I think it's time to get down to business, Master Rid.
'Yes, yes."
As I nod, Deanna walks up to Aria, who is hugging her, petting her and her sisters.
I move to the front where I can look over everyone.
Then, I took one look at all the bird people and fox people, and I cleared my throat to get their attention.
"Once again, my name is Rid Bardia. Welcome to Bardia territory. Everyone here was in the medical office yesterday, so you haven't had a chance to hear what I told the other kids in the large meeting room. So I will explain it to you now."
After that, I give the same explanation to everyone here as I did yesterday.
I will then tell the same story as yesterday to everyone here: everyone's situation, their position, and what they want. I even finish explaining about the "Battle of the Bowls.
"... and well, that's about it. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them, and if it's something that's hard to say here, you can talk to the maids and I'll ask them later."
Aria raised her hand and stood up at the same time and said energetically, "Brother, you don't have to do that.
'You don't have to do that, we'll follow you, big brother. Right, everyone?
She turned back to her sisters as she answered.
The girls nodded their heads to follow her words.
After confirming everyone's intention, Aria looked back at me, but with a sad expression on her face.
"Besides, we don't need anyone but you and big sister,' she said.
Aria...... doesn't have to be like that. You have such great power, and I would love to have your help. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get the most out of your time here. Yes, from Aria and the others' point of view, you can think of it as a kind of game. Of course, if there is anyone who doesn't want to participate, they can decline.
Hearing my answer, Aria and the other girls' faces lit up with happiness.
I think they are very scared of not being wanted.
Perhaps they are feeling a little nervous now that I have made it clear to them that I want their help.
"Then I'll talk to everyone else later."
Then I'll talk to everyone else later.
'Yes, please. I don't want you to have to do too much.
'Yes.'
Aria replied cheerfully and sat down on the spot.
Soon after, this time a girl from the Fox tribe stood up and raised her hand.
"You are ...... surely a Noir of the fox tribe, right?"
"Yes, I am. I am honored that you remember me. We, the fox people, would like to stay here. ......"
Noir's answer surprised me a little.
I knew that might be the case, given their circumstances.
But I didn't expect a general consensus so soon.
With a thoughtful expression on my face, I nodded thoughtfully.
"I see. ...... I'd like to know a little more about that. I'm sorry, but could you pick a delegate to come to the office?"
"Yes, I'll do that."
She bowed her head in response to my answer.
I'm quite grateful that all the fox people are already willing to 'stay around'.
I had something I wanted to ask them to do as soon as possible.
I'm going to cut this off for now and ask for more information in the office.
"Well, that's all I have to say. Also, as I said before, until the "Battle of the Bowls" is over, our first priority is to get you accustomed to life here, so you can relax and do what the maids tell you to do."
I could see all the bird people and fox people nodding their heads with various expressions on their faces at my words.
At that moment, Aria ran up to me and gave me a carefree smile.
"Brother, can I come to the office later too? I want to tell you about something we talked about a little while yesterday.'
'Yesterday ......?'
Aria reminded me of what she told me.
I remember that she told me that she was going to teach me the secret of sound in addition to the bird tribe.
I smiled and gently answered Aria.
I understood. Then, can I ask you about it after I'm done talking with the fox people?
"Well then, brother, I'll see you later."
After that, Aria, Noir and the others left the meeting room with the maids.
And so we too returned to the office.
