I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability

There’s a thing called carelessness, right?

When you’re busy, things get messy.

It’s messy to the level of why you did that when you look back on it later

And my subordinates are heartless.

They’re happy when I make mediocre mistakes.

I’m not a tool for entertainment, you know.

I’m still piling up my workload.

I need a secretary.

What did I do, you say? It’s the letters! Letters! The kind you send to Kiara.

I didn’t give her the proper writing.

The bullet points in the rough draft.

And the one with the note at the end that says I need a hooker.

I’m afraid of the next reply.

I’m afraid he’s going to come directly to me.

But I’m not going to look back on the past.

I don’t care what happens now.

◆◇◆◇◆

Thanks to the 400 or so werewolf immigrants, our labor force has improved considerably.

In order to promote assimilation as much as possible, I myself have been actively interacting with the wolf children.

The werewolves won’t feel alienated if the head of the settlement is unarmed and comes to live with them.

Thanks to this, assimilation is progressing smoothly.

The previous battle had destroyed our fighting force, so we calculated the labor force only.

With a fighting force of 70 people, if 20 people are missing, the organization is no longer viable.

If almost half of them are out of combat, including the injured, it would be even worse.

It would be a game over or the Shimazu soldiers.

The only ones who can function even with 90% of their numbers reduced.

Oracio told me that the beastman tribe could fight, so I should calculate them as a fighting force.

However, considering the population balance between men and women, it would be bad if the number of beastman’s men decreased any further.

I refused to do so.

“I don’t want any more beastman without father. However, in the future, if the children want to help us as a fighting force …… we will welcome them into the Knights of Ravenna.”

When I said this, everyone was stunned.

Apparently, there was a stereotypical notion that a knight is something that a human being do.

This unexpected and usual break with the norm made Oracio back off.

However, he offered to be a force to protect the town, so we decided to give the volunteers military training and count on them as a defense force in case of emergency.

They also began to build the infrastructure at a rapid pace.

In the midst of all this, there was something I wanted to confirm with Oracio.

“Does Sir Oracio know about the hidden village of the elves in the vicinity?”

The teacher started to grin.

Oracio twisted his head.

“Oh …… I’ve heard rumors, but I’ve never actually seen one.”

Hmmm, I guess it won’t be that easy.

If this is the case, we will have to expand the area of influence to include inland areas.

Oracio, in all seriousness, asked me for a favor.

“In addition, the children are clamoring that they want to help the lord. Can you let them help with something?”

I shook my head.

“No, children play when they can. Don’t you think so?”

“That’s true, but that’s part of the reason we moved here in the first place. They want to help the town in some way, even as children.”

“No, what do you mean by “reason” …… We’re the same citizens now. I don’t think you need to worry about it.”

Oracio cleared his throat.

“That’s just a pretext …… My lord is popular with our children, after all.”

Charles gave him an amused look.

“Oh, …… popular with the children? Is that it? The kind of thing like the grandfather being loved by his grandchildren.”

They all burst out laughing.

Aren’t their treatment with me getting worse by the minute?

For now, let’s ignore the issue.

“That hurts as much as when my teacher was called unattractive.”

The teacher protested.

“Why do I have to come up there!”

I reply bluntly.

“Something like a sense of duty has descended upon me.”

“Get rid of that sense of duty!”

“But there’s nothing safe to ask them to do, is there?”

Oracio answered immediately.

“They can do some hunting. We werewolves are trained to hunt since we were children.”

“Hmm, if that’s the case. The shoulders of other playing children may become narrower, which can be a source of trouble.”

Oracio said with a sigh.

“I understand the children’s feelings, but I also understand what my lord is saying. It’s a difficult thing.”

I guess it’s difficult because of my age, too.

The borderline is sixteen, I think.

“Should we make it a rule that no one under sixteen is allowed to work?”

The teacher said sarcastically.

“I’ve heard of letting them work. But …… I’ve never heard of not letting them work.”

Charles chuckles and says.

“I’ve heard so much here …… that I’ve got calluses on my ears.”

Even Oracio laughed.

“Sometimes I think I’ve wandered into a different world.”

The conversation was going in a suspicious direction again.

I decided to change direction.

“Originally, they were supposed to read, write and study until they were sixteen. If that’s the case, we’ll need a teacher or …….”

While looking …… The teacher, who felt my gaze, became upset.

“Wait, wait, wait! We’ll definitely never get around it! You’ve got to get an expert in here!”

“Well, yes. We’ve got about forty kids, after all. We’ll never get around to it, so let’s ask for help on the next flight to and from Kiara. As for the children wanting to work, you can convince them like that. After all, if they study, they’ll be useful to the town in the future.”
