107 Lesson 6: To inspect the site (1/2)

As I told Mrs. Arianna, I'm going to unpack what I brought in the morning. I didn't bring that much. I don't think that's how the opportunity comes to put a dress through my sleeve, and my usual knightly clothes one-piece dress is becoming synonymous with me.

With the help of Priscilla and Charne, it was more or less cleaned up in the morning. So as planned, I was ready to go out for an inspection of the construction site in the afternoon.

”Sister Wang, I will stay here. Bring escorts and Charne to your side. I still have some fine luggage left, and I'd like to have a meeting with the Earls of Cyan.”

”Really? Then I'll leave it to Priscilla to coordinate with the Count Cyan family. Gakkun, Navr, Charne, let's go inspect.”

”Yes! Here you go!

Pimp, her cheeks loosen unexpectedly at Charne, who stopped to bounce cheerfully. Gakkun smiles at Sharne's appearance. Navre looked a little uncomfortable, but he nodded quietly when I glanced at him and shook his neck left and right.

You also blame the kid who admires you so much. I want you to calm down a little bit more in the official setting, but I guess it's easy to take Priscilla with you at that point. I'm also asking Priscilla for Sharne's education.... We need to be careful not to let them give us even extra knowledge.

Take the three offerings and I'll head to the construction site. The construction site is not so far from Count Cyan's residence. There he raised his voice as loud as an anger and gave instructions, overflowing with the vigor of those who worked stiflingly.

”Ever since we built the streets, I've been feeling this vibrant.”

”Oh, Master Anisphere was the director of major street maintenance.”

”That's right. It's been quite a while.”

While returning the gavel to Gakun, I look at the people who work in the field.

The construction site will first dig back into the soil to build the water supply, and build trenches and tunnels that will serve as passages for the water. For this reason, the movement of the site is not busy when the foundations are consolidated, materials are brought in, or the scratched soil is carried in reverse.

”We have heard that the sewer is going to be created so that it can be stretched over the planned construction site…”

”Yeah, you are. In the future, there's talk of whether we can apply it when building land like this in a land that seems to be able to settle. If it works out here, it's going to be applied to something else.”

”I see...”

Navre nods intriguingly and stares enthusiastically at the people working on the construction site. Gakun doesn't attract that much interest, or he's devoted himself as an escort to spying on the signs around him.

”It's going to be a lot of work to build a water supply so we can stretch it around the city...”

”Yeah. In fact, I'm talking about a lot of people being sent by Wang Du, and I think the effort is amazing. He said he had a lot of manpower, but he seems tough to say it's just manpower on the boulder. You know, maybe it would be early if you could do it magically.”

It would seem sooner if we could magically dig back the dirt or go ahead and dig the tunnel. Navre looked at me with a groan when he whined about it. And immediately he tightened his expression and opened his mouth.

”... Her Royal Highness Sister Wang, may I have your word”

”... oh, yeah. I know. You mean, it's not what nobles do, right? If it had been a while ago, I would have rebelled. If it's convenient, you can do it magically. In fact, that's what I thought... you can't sell magic cheap. If the wizard talks about doing anything, we're all in trouble.... It was my fault, Navre.”

”No, Her Royal Highness Sister Wang seemed to have noticed without me having to point it out. Instead, I imitated my past.”

Watching Navre give a thank you, I'm a little sorry and scratch my cheek with my fingers.

I wish I could use magic to help the people's lives. But now I don't think it's a good idea to make magic athe anyway, if you want to do it voluntarily, than it is a limited number of people: nobility who can use magic.

But the original personality of wanting to make the most of what's convenient to stick with doesn't heal. It's a different story to push the nobility to suddenly work at the construction site and use magic to shorten the construction period.

... If I tell you, it's all like saying to someone who can use magic, and then leave it to Ufi. That's definitely not true, and you can't admit it.

Now that the magic props are beginning to spread, the attitude of the aristocrats who can use magic must also change. But don't imitate it so carelessly that it will devalue you. We need to strike a balance.

”Oh, what Navre looks like a nobleman...”

”I almost agreed with Her Royal Highness the King, but wouldn't you grow around if you relied on nobility for anything?... That's a little earache”

”Gark, you shut up. And Charne, there are words about you: time and case. I've heard a little bit about you, but sometimes nobles have to take the initiative and take responsibility. That depends on the situation, and I'm sure you've seen a lot of things you should have magically solved. If you act with Her Royal Highness Sister Wang, she will grace you with the opportunity to provide for your eyes so that you can make that discernment. I should serve you with all my heart.”

”... Dear Navre. Yes! Okay! This means study, too! For your information!

Ugh, uhm, I accidentally roared at Navre's words. You have a solid idea about these places. I may have switched my mind from that one case and come to acquire my mindset as the next Count. I can't blur this either.

With that in mind, one of the men who was working on it called out to us.

”Ooh, noble ladies there! If you're standing there, it's dangerous!

”Oh, I'm sorry! I'll be careful not to get in the way of your work!

”... hmm? That!? Could it be... Her Royal Highness King Anisphere!?”

”What? No!?”

To the stunned voice of the man who spoke to me, the people who were working stopped their hands simultaneously and looked back at me. I try to wave my hand flickering as I almost take a step back to the gaze I gathered at once.

”Ho, is that real?

”No doubt, it's definitely Her Royal Highness Sister Wang who waves so casually!

”Oh, you guys! Don't stop! Don't show yourself to His Royal Highness the King of Great Grace! Work!!”

He scolds the workers who deliberately began to make noise like a leader and a man panicked. If the anger echoes, everyone returns to work like they panicked.

... Are you out of your mind? I feel like I have no heart or am working faster. Besides, what are you talking about?

We will resume our journey even if we stop our legs any longer, it will only interrupt our work. I found Uncle Drags ahead of me.

”Uncle Drags. Thank you for your hard work.”

”Her Royal Highness the King. Have you already come here? I'm sorry I couldn't welcome you.”

”You don't have to worry about that much. Regardless of the guidance, I have someone I can trust enough to escort. Besides, I wanted to see the scene's natural appearance. I've been involved in building streets before, so I miss this vibrancy.”

When I said with a grin, Uncle Drags softened his eyes and smiled bitterly as if he saw someone he had no choice.

”Oh, Her Royal Highness the King. This person is the person who has been asked to act as the person in charge of the construction site. Let me say hello.”
