Jonen Dracquel
Ever since the day Shiro went to talk to Britney, the pressure of being the lord of Sussex has been pressing on me.
"Lord, we don’t have enough food!"
"The village to the west is being attacked by bandits!"
"Captain! What's on the menu for the lunch kitchen?"
"Ojisan! Mana-chan's diaper is missing!"
"Eeeehh! Pochi is gone!"
"Captain! There are so many petitions coming in! What are we going to do?"
A low-ranking member of the Golden Skull Pirates arrives with his hands on his head.
Without Shiro, things are hard!
Even though it's only now, I can feel my gratitude towards Shiro in my bones.
I'm not a skeleton now, I have flesh on my body.
Hmm?
By bone, do you mean bone and flesh?
Doesn't that mean it's a body of bones?
Well, it doesn't matter.
"You and you, take Ori Hime and defeat the bandits in the west village!"
I gave an order to Ori Hime, who was playing with the low-ranking pirates and the orphan children.
""Yes!"" "Kyui!"
The low-ranking pirates and Ori Hime reply with great enthusiasm and depart.
"What are we going to do about food?"
A young local woman who had come to make a plea approached.
"Please take the food out of this magic bag and serve it!
You are the Minister in charge of food from today!"
"Eh! Me!"
"Just try it for about three days, and if it doesn't work, find a white little girl with pink hair and tell her!"
"But, only me..."
A young woman is confused when she is suddenly asked to become the food minister.
"You can hire orphans and homeless people who are wandering around the area without permission!
You can ask the pink-haired white girl for your salary later!"
I persuaded the young woman using the [Charm] skill that I had acquired but never used.
"I’ll try somehow ♡"
For some reason, the young woman whom I had pushed to become the Food Minister seemed to blush and get excited.
"Captain! What's the menu?"
"Consult with the Food Minister and make a decision!"
"Please leave it to me!"
The Food Minister shook her big breasts.
"Eh... hey!"
The lowly pirates who came to ask about the menu were a little put off by the Food Minister's enthusiasm.
"Ojisan! Umーー!"
One after another, they ask impossible questions.
Was a lord supposed to be this friendly with his people?
Well, I'm a new lord, so maybe I don't have any dignity at all.
"Hey, girl over there! Have you ever made diapers?"
I called out to a young woman who happened to be walking in front of me, who seemed to have lost her home and took shelter in the temporary housing.
"Eh...I guess I can, but..."
"Then I’ll put pure white cloth and sewing tools inside this magic bag, so make lots of them!
You are the Diaper Minister from today!"
"D... Diaper Minister!?"
"Claim your salary from Shiro!"
"Where can I make diapers?"
I take out a gel-type camping tent from my magic bag.
"It’s quite spacious inside, so use it as your temporary Sussex operational headquarters!"
"Ojisan... Pochi is gone..."
"Hey! You! Find this child's Pochi together!
From today onwards, you are the Dog Hunting Minister!
As for the salary, here, I'll give you dried meat!"
I stopped a boy who happened to be walking by and handed him about 5 slices of dried meat from inside my magic bag.
"So much!"
"Yeah. Every time you find a dog, I'll give you some dried meat, so do your best!"
"I understand! Lord!"
Okay. My work is now finished.
I'm the lord, so there's no problem as long as I leave the work to the people of Sussex.
Well, even if I mess up, Shiro will wipe my ass later!
Being a Dog Hunting Minister is a mess, but he was like an orphan who lost his parents in this war, so if I give him a job, he'll become obsessed with his desire for dried meat, and it'll be a great distraction!
I'm a former orphan, so I'm kind to orphans.
Well, time passed and Shiro returned from the southern continent.
"Looks like Master is doing better than I expected!"
Shiro is impressed when she sees the citizens of Sussex working so energetically.
"Yeah. I’ve always been a man of the lord’s caliber, after all!
I've always been good at using people!
After Bruce-nii left, I also took on the role of managing the children at the orphanage!"
"I see."
While listening to me, Shiro sets up a teleportation magic circle inside the tent of the temporary Sussex management headquarters.
Then, once she activated the magic circle, she teleported somewhere and disappeared, and then she returned with a young, intelligent-looking dwarf.
"This is my first time meeting you. I am Jonen Dracquel, and I am in charge of the dwarves living on the southern continent!"
The young dwarf bows respectfully.
"I... I'm Cedric. Thank you very much!"
On the contrary, I feel humbled when people come to me in such a respectful manner.
"This person is the prince of the dwarf kingdom and Anne-san’s younger brother, who was introduced to me by Britney Anee-sama!
He's doing business on the southern continent!"
"Yes! I'm the general manager of the Dwarf Kingdom's directly managed store at Wolf Department Store, an ultra-luxury department store on the southern continent!"
"Hey, Shiro-san... Can a businessman build the Great Sussex Fortress?
I whisper to Shiro.
"It's okay! Jonen-san is an amazing person who was one of the designers of Mofuufu Royal Palace and was in overall command of the construction!"
"Eh! He's one of the designers of that amazing Mofuufu Royal Palace and the general manager of its construction!"
I was so surprised that I repeated Shiro's words.
"That's right! As long as we leave the construction of the Great Sussex Fortress to the Dwarf Kingdom's store manager, there will be no problem!"
Jonen Dracquel is proud of the fact that he is Anne's reliable younger brother.
I mean, Jonen-san looks young, but how old is he?
I don't want to know the man's age, so it doesn't matter.
"Jonen-san came here by yourself, but there is no manpower in Sussex territory, you know?"
I try to ask a question.
"No problem! I'll send my craftsmen on a business trip!"
At the same time as Jonen spoke, a large number of short and stout dwarves with mustaches that looked like they were suffering from teleporting from the magic circle that Shiro had set up.
"What... how many people came?"
I scream at the unstoppable short and stout group.
"This time, it's a major construction project, so there will be around 800 people."
"H... hey... Shiro-san... is it okay?
Hiring so many people... Don't you know that if you hire someone, you have to pay them their wages?"
I thought Shiro didn't understand monetary economics, so I asked.
"Excuse me! I'm a monster, but I can see Master's memories, so I understand the concept of capitalism!"
"Cedric-san. There’s no problem!
I have signed an exclusive contract with Shiro-san to have her regularly sell swords to the Dwarf Kingdom's directly managed store, and she has given me 5 swords as a down payment!"
Jonen explained with a smile on his face.
Or rather, I'm too curious about the price of Shiro's sword.
In fact, with the money from the sword that Shiro sold, Cedric thought it would be better to build a harem in the countryside and live a slow life, or rather, a s*x life.
