Chapter 299. Completion of trade ship (7) + Become an explorer (1)
“The trip is over. If I ask to go to the hot springs, will Pena get angry?”
“no way? Anyway, it’s not like that.”
I know. So don’t be serious
Do I really have that level of consideration?
This is why people have to do what they normally do.
While playing around with Seina, I seriously contemplated again.
an exploration
Is there anyone who is full of exploration?
Is there anyone who will sign a contract with me to become an explorer under my sponsorship?
Sign a contract with me and become an explorer!
However, unlike other projects so far, there was no way to see an applicant or a suitable person who stood out.
It’s a business, as long as I’m involved, it’s profitable somehow.
As long as other businesses are managed somehow, even the most incompetent can work safely.
It can also bring out abilities that you don’t have.
It’s because I’ve gone too far to get things done.
But exploration is different.
It’s not about making money right away.
Of course, if you succeed, you will get honor, but what percentage is that success rate?
It would be more likely that you would accidentally pick up a mithril while walking.
In fact, in aristocratic families, a child would say, ‘I will become an explorer in the future!’
If you say that, it is said that you will dry it even if you slap it on the cheek.
Well, there are still people who come out.
It’s not that kind of problem.
It’s that dangerous.
‘Hmm… should I consider another method?’
If I push ahead with the work, only my position may be difficult.
I don’t feel like forcibly pushing someone out.
It is impossible for anyone to do it there.
I don’t know what kind of accident I’ll get into if I ask a guy who couldn’t eat properly to open a new route.
Even looking at the history of the earth, the tragedies caused by reckless pioneering are immeasurable.
In the end, I have no choice but to be careful.
A person who has a genuine spirit of exploration and a conscience that will not cross the road.
There’s no way a guy like that could be easy, right?
‘Unmanned exploration… Or, like last time, I sent out my alter ego…
Either way I thought of an alternative was overwhelmingly annoying.
Is it technically annoying to develop or my body is annoying.
Oh, everything is annoying.
The world is made of troubles.
So I’m bothered
I’ve been thinking about it the whole time, but I can’t think of a number that points out that this is all.
‘Why on earth does this continent not have a proper land route?’
If there is a god, there must be something wrong when writing the map.
Didn’t you cut it wrong?
Did you accidentally apply force?
There must be something wrong with the continental divide here.
“So, is there any talent that can be used?”
“…Are you talking about talented people?”
When I returned to Fahilia and spoke only close to the communication tool while lying on the bed, a man with a familiar voice pondered over it.
He is the Marquis of Caret.
I wondered if he would know better than I about the talent situation among domestic aristocrats, so I asked him just in case.
But even he doesn’t seem to have a particular figure.
“It is a difficult problem.”
“What is it?”
Marquis Carret also understood what I was worried about.
First of all, I hid my true intentions from him and just said that I was looking for a more efficient and more profitable route.
No matter how much I want to find a kola tree, I can’t say I want to request an expedition.
I have that kind of conscience too.
Yes, yet…
“There are many who claim to be explorers, but I can’t think of anyone who can achieve that level of achievement.”
“Then, are there any talented people who can do it?”
“If you simply ask for money, there might be applicants.”
“I don’t want to review that as much as possible… but I think there might be a quality problem.”
There is also the problem mentioned above.
Usually, the people who bite the bait by betting huge amounts of money are the ones who didn’t eat properly.
Would you entrust the work knowing what you would do across the continent?
Maybe what I’m asking for is too unrealistic.
“Shall I find out?”
“No. Let’s just push it forward as a project promoted by the kingdom.”
Talented people, well, I’ll have to look and select them.
Also, if there are no people in Ernesia Kingdom, you can ask the Empire side as well.
Pena will actively look into it.
The moment you decide to cut off communication.
Marquis Carret made a strange voice.
“…Arell-sama? Actually, I just remembered it a little while ago.”
Marquis Carret said something incomprehensible.
“Yeah, is there something?”
“Rather than… I heard this from my daughter.”
“. Oh, that S little girl?”
” S?”
“No, that’s just bullshit. don’t mind.”
Hey, was it Karet? The little girl who had her eyes on Asha’s younger brother, Aimet.
yeah i remember
It’s not that I remember it because it’s a similar wavelength to mine.
….Come to think of it, are those two kids doing well?
What kind of relationship would it have developed into?
What are you doing?
Ah, I’m just curious about children’s love stories, not out of curiosity.
Whatever they do, that’s not what I need to know, is it? yeah right?
Ah… I was thinking about something else for a while.
So what’s that tough-looking little girl?
“Actually, while we were talking about classes at the academy when we returned to the mansion for a while before, we talked about something that bothered us a little.”
The reason Marquis Carret’s words sound a bit perplexed is probably because he’s talking while recalling memories.
At the time, it might have seemed like a trivial conversation, but now that I think about it while consulting with me, something must be bothering me.
“….say it.”
He’s not the type to talk nonsense.
Knowing that, I urged him to listen to even the unspoken words.
yes tell me anything
I make my judgment.
Become an explorer (1)
After a while, I visited a place after a long time.
It is the Royal Academy.
“Come to think of it, I came to play once before.”
“…Did you come to play then?”
This time, as before, Asha, who accompanied me, narrowed her eyes.
It seems to bring back memories of that time.
“Yeah, Asha was really violent back then. Perhaps they summoned the knight who arbitrarily quarreled with them to a place where everyone could see them and beat them up there?”
Yes, it was a beautiful memory.
“…Something is strange, isn’t it? I didn’t.”
“I don’t remember the person who hit me in the first place.”
Just kidding.
I remember it well.
Yes, I remember correctly that Asha blew the opponent’s knight away and put it against the wall.
It was from then.
The students enrolled here said that Ilet’s sister was a person who would knock a man bigger than herself into a wall without batting an eye.
Of course, Asha herself does not know.
“Come to think of it, was that kid, Iret, a graduating class this year?”
“Yes, I was anxious at one time, but somehow time passed like that.”
Asha was relieved as if she was genuinely happy and at the same time proud.
He was a boy with a weak impression, even I was confused for a moment to see if he was a boy or a girl.
Anyone other than Asha would have been worried.
Is that kid graduating after this year?
“What will happen when you graduate?
Are you going back to the manor?”
“I do.”
It is said that Iret wants to rebuild her family as a nobleman in place of her busy sister.
So, did you say that after graduating, you will go back to your hometown and start all over again?
It’s extraordinary.
Later, when the time comes, I’ll have to look after you properly.
I have to let you know the true taste of Baek.
“…Arel-nim, don’t blow strange winds on Aimet too much.
It gets bad.”
“What is strange? It just teaches you life. It teaches you that life is a back and an investment.”
“Please be considerate.”
Even if I didn’t use my hands, there wouldn’t be a problem with that little boy.
According to my eyes, yes.
If anything, that girl from the Karet family is holding out.
Even if I don’t have to say anything, it seems that the lady is educating Eyelet firmly.
Really…. Are you saying that your man takes care of the sprouting stage with his own hands?
The young ones are very good.
“I see… Shall we take a look at that little boy before we go to business? It seems like there will be a lot to talk about openly after a while.”
I’m Asha’s younger sister, and I’m bored.
Well, you’ve grown quite a bit now, so you won’t have the same impression of a girl as you used to.
I can talk more openly than before.
“Really… Please don’t bring too much strange air.”
“It’s not a strange wind.”
I clicked my tongue and said.
“Sometimes there are things that only men can talk about.”
“…Is that what you’re worried about?”
So I went to the dormitory where Ilet was to pass the time before business.
And this time, as soon as I saw him, I was at a loss for words.
“ah! welcome! Prince Arell!
It’s been a while since I saw you last time, sister!”
After being contacted in advance, I came out of the dormitory and came running from the other side.
To see a guy who can’t tell if it’s a girl or a boy running up to you…
“Asha.”
“Does your family have any background in raising girls in boys’ clothes? Can you be honest with me now?”
I looked sideways at Asha and asked.
“Is she a girl?”
“Arel-sama, Airett is definitely a man no matter who sees it. Please do not misunderstand me.”
“Where are you looking?”
Nya looked into Asha’s eyes, tilted her head, and asked again.
“Where are you looking?”
“….yes. No matter where you look, yes.”
It seems to be stubborn until the end.
Even if I asked you that?
In a sense, the grown Eyelet looks more elegant than Asha?
Are you a real boy?
The clothes she’s wearing are definitely men’s, but maybe that’s why she looks strangely sexy.
“…I can’t. It is a planned change. Before anything else, you have to take it off and check it…
“…So please refrain from doing anything strange! Eyelet is a boy!”
So while we make a fuss over useless things.
“Why are you both like that?”
Not hearing our conversation, Iret tilted her head.
The moderately grown bobbed hair sways, so that doesn’t look like a man, does it?
Over my confused head, for some reason, I had the illusion of hearing the cry of a strong girl.
‘That’s good!’
Only this time, I shuddered at the big picture of the girl who flirted with Aimet in the past.
Indeed, this is an investment that must be recognized from the bud.
For this, I decided to acknowledge Heia Karet.
Your foresight rivals mine.
The girl who wasn’t there like that was recognized by me at some point.
