The Other World Con Artist's Management Techniques

She and Estella go side by side to the river.

Jeanette is supposed to return to Yodamari-tei, tell the Magdas what's going on, and then go after them. Magdas must be concerned about a lot of things.

go beyond the church and further down the highway

"You've gotten really pretty, haven't you?"

"Is it me? Thank you."

"I don't think so... It's the way."

"Are you still saying that? It's been a long time since the road was built."

"But I'm happy."

a wide road lined with shiny bricks on each side There are many traces of wheels, but they remain as flat as a rail. Thanks to the hard work of the hamsters under the leadership of Umaro, the road won't get rough no matter how heavy a carriage passes. ...but we're constantly maintaining it regularly.

By the way, we receive a small donation from the Woodman Guild and the Hunting Guild for road maintenance.

They offered to each guild head directly because they were using it a lot.

"It used to be muddy when it rained, and cracked when it cleared."

"And you fell down a lot because you were so messy."

"Well... I didn't fall so far,"

As far as I know, I've fallen several times and got all wet.

"Do you remember that the road to Yaplock's house wasn't well-developed?"

"Oh, I feel sorry for the lord's negligence."

"...I'm really amazed at your good memory and wickedness."

The small, light yaplocks, the Ocojo family, were unable to stamp the ground and overgrown with weeds.

Was it raining so hard that my feet got muddy?

"At that time, Omero helped me out."

"No, that's not true. They accepted Omero's request and got it back in labor in return. It's like a commission, so you don't have to thank me at all."

When Delia, who had been unable to fish after a spell of rain, was about to sink Omero into the river -- I didn't say anything wrong -- I arranged a part-time job at the Yodamari-tei for Delia. Omero, whose life was saved at that time, worked hard, thanking me.

"Well, I don't think this year will be as good as last year,"

It's not raining, and Delia will have savings, unlike last year.

Forty‐two wards have generally become wealthy in the past year.

nevertheless

Dozens of men in the river-fishing guild, including Omero, hung around gravely on the way from road to river.

Even in the distance, there's a blatant air of "something's gone wrong."

"Whether it rains too much or not, they seem to have some trouble."

"What do you call it... I feel like I'm always in this kind of trouble with you?"

"I'll give you exactly what you said. It is common sense among the 42 wards that 'there is trouble where Jiro goes.'"

No, no, I'm sure you've brought more trouble.

I'm always a poor victim.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

As we approached, the river-fishing guilds looked at us all at once and Omero began to cry strangely.

...what, with a sour face. What a creep!

"Brother!"

"Oh, here we are!"

Omero rushed on like a broken sprinkler from his eyes.

Other bosses follow suit.

I'm caught by Omero because I can't even escape to such an extreme density. Or rather, Omero, sitting on his knees about two meters before me, thrust himself into the ground. I'm scared!

And catch me by the waist. That's why I'm scared!

"You're late! You're late, brother! How long have we been waiting for you?"

"What's wrong with you!? What's wrong with you?"

"Come and see me sooner!"

"Don't cry and throw up words that you're not happy to hear from Ossan!"

`Well......but it's nice to see you,'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"

"Oh my gosh! I'm not happy to hear that from Ossan! Don't cry again!"

Omero clinging to me and crying bitterly.

The river-fishing guilds lined up around it were all weeping with their faces buried in their arms.

What is this strangely hot sight!?

"Yasilo".

Estella calls my name in a clear voice in the weeping of a thick boss.

As I turned around, he sent me a short word, "Don't you?" with a light wink. And

"You're always in trouble, aren't you?"

He skipped it with joy.

...No. I'm obviously a victim, and I'm the only one who's attracting you, but in the end I'm always being pushed on.

I mean... why... I wonder... I wonder when I've fallen in love with these old men.

"...I really don't want to hear it from the bottom of my heart, but...what happened?"

"My stable master is in a terrible mood..."

"Do something for yourself, that's about it!"

"If you can do that, you'll have no trouble!"

You have to be able to do it there.

"Is the lowering of the water level in the river affecting fishing?"

an estella that questions Omero from safety

...you come here, too. Step into this circle of bosses.

`I've been in a bad mood all the time, I said, "Well, that's it, too."

So, they couldn't confirm the reason with their grumpy leader, and they were exposing their sunken faces in a bunch here. Do you know the word "spirited"?

"It's dangerous to see my stable master now, so I was here and persuaded him to go home if there was a guy who was going to the river."

"And you were in front of the road,"

The fact that the Omeroes can hang around here probably means that there is no river fishing going on.

Delia must be feeling frustrated without any hope of course.

"Why didn't you go to see Jiro if you were so worried?"

"Wait, Estella. If there was any trouble, I would go to the lord first.""It's closer to Yangdalitei,"

"Yodamari-tei is a place to eat! It's not a place to worry about."

"Well... there was a reason why I couldn't go either way."

Breathe out deeply, and Omero shrugs his shoulders.

You're burning up, this guy is always burning up.

"My stable master... don't go to see my brother and lord..."

"What feudal society is your guild?"

Is it absolute what the king says?

Are you going to face capital punishment if you go against it?

"If you break my boss's orders..."

"'Washed......'"

"Isn't that just Omero?"

The river‐fishing guild's bosses are all frightened.

What exactly does the river fishing guild say to be washed...

"That's why we stood here every day, and we kept reminding ourselves to the Yodamari-tei. `Come on brother!'"

"Oh, that's too bad. I didn't get it at all, that feeling."

I haven't heard anything from you yet.

"Omero doesn't understand," If you wanted to call Jiro, you should have shaken the giant milk here."

"No, no, no matter how far away your brother is, you can hear that kind of sound.........are you?"

Why are you looking like, "This guy can't even say it's impossible!" Hey!

"Anyway, brother," Please take care of the rest!"

"No, no matter what you say..."

"'Thank you!'"

"Hey, come on..."

What, this inescapable mental attack!

If you refuse here, wouldn't these guys stand in my sleep in a soaking wet manner every night?

And, like a willow leaf, you can dangle from both wrists and say, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

So I woke up every morning and found my bedside was soaking wet... oh my gosh, cleaning is a must.

"... I see. I'm here to see Delia anyway, and I'll listen to her."

"Brother! I love you!"

`I'm not happy at all!'

"'I love you!'"

`So you're not happy!'

I don't feel any emotion other than fear and discomfort when I'm surrounded by such a hot Ossan!

"Well, I'm going to evacuate as far as possible from now on." I hope you will do something about it by the end of the day."

"... you know,"

"If you can't, I'll shut myself up at home, so if you feel better, come and call me."

"You're too scared!"

"It's only natural to stay indoors when a storm comes!"

"Is Delia a natural disaster?"

Where did the bitter faces of the first wake go and the river-fishing guilds break up with a very bright look on their faces. Why don't they look like they've already solved it?

"You're trusted."

"Oh... I'd like to charge you a fee."

Wouldn't I make a fortune if I started 'Delia Insurance' or something?"

"For now, shall we go see Delia?"

"Why are you tired before you go?"

"What are the bystanders going to do... you cold-hearted fellow?"

"Ah! I just thought I shouldn't disturb your friend's play."

`Oh, he's a very thin fellow!'

"...where else is it thin, what about me? Tell me.

Hmmm. No matter how hard you look at it, it's cute compared to the Ossan rays of the Omeros.

Rather, keep glaring at me!

Look at it more!

It's 100 times better than Ossan!

Estella is like an angel compared to Ossan!

No, no! Yes, Estella!

"Oh, Estella is cute..."

"What!? What, all of a sudden!? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

"Aestella is cuter than Ossan."

"I wonder if you'll mind my feelings a little more.

Emotional ups and downs, sometimes suddenly screaming.

Isn't it better to go to the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine?

You must be stressed out. You're a modern man, aren't you?

"Astella, you shouldn't be stressed out."

"I think you'll be able to get rid of a lot of stress just by learning common sense thinking,"

With a heavy, deep sigh, Estella begins to walk towards the river.

I followed her back and discovered Delia at a great salmon fishing point upstream of the river, where I first met Delia.

After all, Delia likes this place. I'm pretty much here.

"Oh, Delier!"

From about 50 meters away, wave and call out.

--and Delia's body bounced.

Delia is so upset that you can see from afar.

"...what?"

"Anyway, let's go."

"Ah,"

Doubtful of Delia's suspicious behavior, Estella and I quickly head to Delia.

After recognizing us, Delia pretended to run away for a moment, but stopped, looked alternately in our faces, looked for someone behind us, and shrugged her shoulders as soon as she saw that we were the only ones.

And from then on, he kept looking away from us until we got to Delia.

"Delia, what's the matter?"

"Ah... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...

There's clearly something wrong with the situation.Delia is very rare with its dark ears hanging down.

"Hey, Delia. May I have a word with you?"

Estella's words make Delia's tail a little bigger.

Then, his fist clenched.

".........are you here to be angry?"

"He?"

a raving Estella

Delia still looks sunken when she sees Estella with a rather interesting expression.

Then, slowly, he looked at me.........no. I've stopped halfway and won't go this way.

But my lips are tightly tied.

What should I say...

It's like a girl holding back tears. It also makes me feel sad that I'm not bad, but I feel frustrated that adults don't understand it.

"Delia".

`--?!?'

When I called, Delia bounced her shoulders and took two small steps away from me.

...as I expected.

"It was hard,"

"To………………?"

Maybe it took a long time to understand what I said, but Delia slowly turned around.

"Are you okay? Were you not crying?"

The muscles around the shoulders which had been stiff and stiff with force slowly relax, and the sharpness of the facial expression also diminishes.

"Don't look like that. You're not wrong at all right."

"... oh, my God... oh, my God!"

Delia jumps at my neck. with all one's might

"Hey! It's hard! Hold on! Break! Scratch your neck!"

"I don'

"I'm going to die!"

"d*mn it! Be strong!

"You're the one to take it easy!"

Without the touch, elasticity, or time to enjoy myself, I released Delia's restraint for my life.

... how many times have I been strangled by Delia here?"

Pulled away from me, Delia slumped into the spot, covering her face with her hands.

sob like a little girl

"... Jillo. What does this mean?"

"We were scared."

"Were you afraid? ... Is that so, Delia?"

When asked, Delia responds with an affirmation; she's probably too crying to speak out.

"Why again..."

"I told you before,"

Before I came to the river, I was talking to the Omeros, and before that I was talking to Milly.

"Who are the people of the 42 wards to turn to in case of trouble?"

"Yasilo".

"...you're the lord,"

Well, I'm sure I'm among those who can rely on me, but... I'm sure that's what Deliers think.

"Delia thought, because they came to see each other alone. "I'm going to get in trouble."

"There's no reason for us to be angry with Delia,"

"Even if we didn't have one, Delia was going to get in trouble... there were times when I was worried, 'What should I do if I get in trouble?'" Look, Omero told me that there was a ban on contact between you and me."

"Oh... what, did that mean that you might get in trouble if you touch us?"

"That's what Delia thought, I suppose,"

For example, Omero reports the current situation to me and Estella.

Then I and Estella would come together and say, "What are you doing, Delia?" to get angry.

"Why did I think that again..."

"You said that, too,"

"Huh?"

Estella bends her head in a way that she doesn't know what it means.

It's easy to see what's going on in a different light, not in front of you.

Besides, I think you have experienced it.

"Did you get a lot of advice from agricultural guilds and others?"

"Huh? Oh, yes. I want you to do something about the waterway."

"What do you think they will do before they go to you?"

"Before you come to me?" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."

Thinking of the situation, I seem to have somehow guessed it.

Estella looks at Delia. What a sad, pitiful stare!

"Even if you have faith in yourself and you are confident that you are not wrong..."

"...yeah. If many people object, you're very worried that you're wrong."

Delia took reasonable steps to protect the river and the fish it lived there.

It was an absolutely imperative action for a guild leader in a river-fishing guild.

however

If many guilds and many people keep asking me, "Why don't you stop the river?" I'm wrong not to stop myself... I'm engulfed in fear that I'm to blame.

No matter how strong a guy is, he or she will be shaken by the opposition of the majority.

What's more, the people who come here want us to stop the river and let the water flow down the channel.

People like Yodamari-tei who don't need waterways never come to this river in the first place.

If you keep meeting people who contradict your opinions and deny your way of doing things... the whole world may see you as a bad guy... it's no use falling into that illusion.

"And when you see us, you say, 'You might get in trouble'?"

"Oh, perhaps he thought he had come to persuade Delia at the request of Mormat and Milly?"

"... yes... I thought I was going to scold you and stop the river."

Delia says weakly, rubbing her red eyes.

"...if I could come to Jiro and Estella... ...the river would be dammed... ...and I was scared... ...and sad."Up until now, Estella and I have reformed many things.

At the heart of all the changes in the 42 wards were always me and Estella, the lord of the manor.

So Delia feared that if we came, her opinions would be twisted and the river would be dammed.

That's probably why it was a ban on access to Jiro & Estella imposed on the Omeros.

I guess it wasn't because I was too busy to come and buy popcorn, but because I didn't want to see you.

"Just a while ago... Jiro and Estella came together... ...and if there was a manager, it might be a different matter... ...but there were only two of us..."

Estella has a complex expression on her face as Delia overstates.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

"It's because of the situation,"

"Even so, Jeanette is amazing. Just by being with them, they can dispel people's anxiety."

He seems to be slightly shocked and is trying hard to appeal "I'm not scared."

Your smile is cramping.

But the smile never returns to Delia, who has been worn out, frightened and haggard all these days.

Even though he found out that he was not hostile, he still doesn't seem to feel safe from the bottom of his heart.

"Delia. From Magda and Loretta."

"...what?"

If you don't cheer me up for now, it won't make sense.

hand Magda a bag of honey popcorn

The sound, the volume, the feel and the scent seemed to tell Delia what was inside, and she hurriedly opened the bag.

`...why...it smells sweet,'

I started crying...

"Is the popcorn you've stocked up on already?"

"...yes. So, I didn't sleep yesterday...

Oh my gosh!

The fact that I didn't sleep yesterday probably means I ran out of bed the day before yesterday.

It must have been hard not to be able to go buy it.

"You could have asked Omero or something like that.

"No! ... he cries as soon as he sees Jiro and everybody talks..."

As expected of Delia. That's a good idea. That's quite right.

"Then it was quite hard,"

When I said that, Delia nodded her head and... she burst back into tears.

"Uh... I'll eat..."

Crying, carrying honey popcorn to your mouth, crying again at the taste.

"Oh my gosh... oh my gosh... oh my gosh... I didn't!"

After all, the popcorn I bought out seemed to have run out.

It wouldn't have been delicious, would it?

Delia, who really wanted to eat every day, was cornered to the point where she had to put up with it.

The illusion of being the only villain in the Forty-two Wards must have been quite painful for this weeping Delia.

"I'm sorry. I should have come earlier."

"No! You... but courageously... to see Jiro... ...I missed you, Jiro!"

Sitting on the riverbank, holding a bag of popcorn in my left hand, picking popcorn in my right hand, mouthfuls full, tears splattered... burying my face in my stomach.

press one's face hard and snort

".........head.........."

And it's really rare......

"Patting..."

I'm getting spoiled.

Unlike Magda, Delia doesn't take it easy.

Even though I was big, I was like a child when I was crying... I patted my hair gently so that it wouldn't touch my ears.

Over and over again until Delia stops crying...

"I haven't a long way to go..."

You'll regret that you didn't notice it. Estella mutters vexingly.

"Don't be silly,"

Do you look like you're going to cry?

Jeanette and Milly alone are enough to make me cry in these situations.

...I'm really glad they're not here this time. It would have been out of hand if the three of us had cried.

So, Estella, don't cry.

It's not good for my mental health is bad.

"There's no such thing as a perfect man," If you think you can do everything well, it's your ego. He is a dangerous man who has the will of a dictator."

No one can fail, no when they fail, lose when they lose, cry when they cry.

"Of course there are some things that don't go far. If not, on the contrary, it's creepy, isn't it?"

He's probably not a human being if he's perfect no matter what he does.

It's a creature of a different dimension, such as the incarnation of a spirit god.

"You have only to do what you can, man,"

"But as a lord, I want to protect as many people as possible."

"So!"

It's too early to argue back.

Listen carefully to the end.

"You're a lord, and you're a good-natured person who wants to help others, so you can do more of that 'can do' than other people, try so hard that others can't imitate you when you're in trouble and crying."

"... "I'll do what I can"......and the range is infinite, isn't it?"

If you want to do it, you have to do it as much as you want to do it.

I won't stop at all. It's up to you to take any pains to convince yourself.

"In the end, human beings are 'only able to do what they can.' And if you're dissatisfied with it, why don't you at least do what you can?"

Then I bury my face in my stomach and look down at Delia crying.

Estella's gaze follows my gaze on Delia.

Help the guy who's asking for help like this. With the open heart of the lord.

"All right. ... Thank you, Jiro."

Estella's face had vanished her gloom and a smile of mission, embarrassment and joy.

Uh-huh, I'm sure you're M-like.

You're laughing happily at me being burdened with trouble.

I can't imitate you.

"Then I'll do my best,"

"Oh, go for it.""Yes, I'll do my best. with Jillo."

"Hey!"

Why do you involve me?

I'm sure you've said over and over again that it's the lord's job to work hard.

"Because, you know,"

He often points to my abdomen.

There's Delia who cuddles with me...

"You're so dependent on me, but you can'

...... oh my gosh.

If Delia had been in her best form and full of energy as usual, she could have said, "What can I do?"

"I'll lend you a hand this time."

I was originally going to do that.

Besides, if I abandon Delia here, I'll be tossed every night by the river-fishing guild Osans. I don't even want to dream about them.

"I think I'll get you to work hard this time."

"I'll charge the lord for the expenses,"

"There is no guarantee that the application will pass,"

Taemae...

"Good job, Delia," Jiro will solve Delia's problems."

"Hey, don't go that far! I don't know if I can do it or not."

"Yasilo! Thank you! I love you so much!"

「………………」

Delia, with her arms outstretched, clinging tightly to my waist.

press one's face against one's stomach

My ears are twitching.

Oh,......well, that's it.

I'm sure this exaggerated emotional expression is in vogue in the river fishing guild.

I was told the same thing by Omero and other Ossan.

…………………d*mn it! I don't know the situation yet.

I can't refuse it anymore.

"The cause and effect of trouble is deep-rooted,"

Oh, come on!

Yes, chrysanthemum!

"Delia was worried, Milly was depressed, and Jeanette lost her energy... because of that, sales at Yodamari-tei have been adversely affected lately."

You must not overlook the loss of profits, even if it is a slight decrease.

If you underestimate it as "this much," your profits will drop in no time, and then it will be difficult to make up for it.

Rather, we have to do something about it while it's going down slightly.

"I'll take it off to protect my interests... I can't help it."

Yes, this isn't really helping others.

Volunteer? No way. I'll get a decent reward.

Even if you don't have a partner, I'll take him to the point where he's making a profit.

As we've been doing that all along.

"Yasilo... That's enough."

"Oh, my God! There's a line I can't give up!"

I'm not good-natured!

It's different from you and Jeanette!

I love money! It's so pleasant to deceive people!

………………………… I suppose you'll never be able to get rid of the aura of Jeanette's good-natured personality until you leave the house for about a year."

I don't smell money yet, but... I'll listen to Delia for now.
