Chapter 86: New Recruit
40 days after the wedding
“Shiro-sama, please check these documents.”
"Alright"
I'm doing my job as a lord.
"But it was a surprise."
Firance speaks
"What?"
“The king told me you were a commoner and an adventurer with no experience as a leader.”
"That's true though?"
"It doesn't look that way to me. I can't say that the paperwork is perfect, but I can say that it's quite good."
Really?
I'm trying to lead in a humane way.
The trick is to think about how you would want to act if you were in that role.
"But I'm stuck in the mansion and doing paperwork. I want to go outside."
“Please do your best for the next 40 days. This city has just been built, so there are many decisions to be made.”
"That's why I'm doing my best right now. Okay, this is what I want you to do."
"Yes, then I will do so. The next documents are those of the candidates who are expected to arrive today... oh?"
Firance looked at the next document with a strange expression on his face.
“Shiro-sama, I found something in one of the documents."
"What is it?"
A letter was handed to me
It is neatly sealed in wax. The seal is...
"The king......"
“If it's sealed in wax, does that mean it's important?”
We don't know, do we?
He's an old man who pushes through even the most ridiculous things with a single sentence, "It's the king's order".
"What is it, what is it... Firance. Call Wince, right now."
"Yes!"
-How are you-
-Druknen is now under Quies direct command-
-However, those two are making a big publicity about your leadership-
-The military has decided to entrust you with the training of the new recruits-
-For the time being, I sent 500 new recruits to you-
-I'll leave the rest to you-
"No more... I want to go on a trip..."
---------
"All right, stop!"
The boy in the middle of the front row shouts.
And so, 500 recruits stop in front of the city gates
Maybe that was the plan
In fact, it's hard for them to stop.
Some people talk.
Some have bad postures
Some wave their spears around
Some give Wince a nasty look
At this point, I've already decided what to do
"Are you in command?"
"Ha! 500 recruits enlisted this year! I have been ordered to receive guidance from Count Edgeworth-sama!"
"How old are you?"
"I am 15 years old!"
"And the others?"
"The remaining 499 people will all be 15!"
"I see"
Adults.
Then there was no problem.
Good thing I brought my great sword.
And with that great sword, I slashed the ground as hard as I can.
Boom*! A loud sound and vibration are heard.
The movement of the new recruits stops.
"I am Edgeworth, your mentor from this day forward."
"......"
"Answer me!"
"Y-yes!"
"Yours voice is too small!"
"""Yes!"""
"Did you guys come here to play!?"
"No!"
"Why do you deny it! Are you here to play!"
"""No!"""
"Then stop immediately when the commander tells you to stop! Stand up straight with your feet together! Do not move your spears! Don't waste time talking! Don't let women distract you! Those who cannot do so, return to the Royal Capital now!"
No one seems to be going back.
Well, they are useless to us if they went back now.
"Listen! I'm going to beat you into shape as a warrior! I'm going to teach you the basics of being a warrior! When it's all over, you're free to go! You can be soldiers or adventurers, or you can quit and go back to being commoners. Decide for yourselves!"
"""Yes!"""
"If you have any problems, ask me! I will take care of you as long as you don't disobey!"
"""Yes!"""
"First, train your legs and hips! Everyone go around the outer wall with that equipment! Don't stop until I say it's okay! Don't talk! Go!"
I knew intimidating them with a great sword would work.
Everyone act immediately
"Wince"
"Taking care of the dropouts?"
"Go with Firance."
"I'll get someone who can use healing magic."
Firance understood.
"Fufufu, it's nostalgic, isn't it?"
"You mean Quies and the others?"
Wince looks so happy
"Everyone admired Shiro-san and chased you recklessly."
"I remember that."
How long ago was that?
"Then I'll go after the recruits."
"Yeah"
Now, will they be like Druknen and the others?
