Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

"Are you listening?"

"Duh!

I was suddenly missed do-up in front of me, and I was about to flip.

Hall of sight, in the middle of an executive.

Mistakes suddenly loomed right in front of me when I was reporting something hard until just a moment ago.

"Hey, what's up, Mimis?"

"Did you hear the report?"

"I was listening, I was listening."

"Then tell me what I just said."

"Huh? Uh..."

I couldn't answer.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Mimis sighed as I couldn't answer.

"You have no choice. I repeat, it's important. This is the estimated tax revenue for Salt Lake, please listen carefully"

"No, I'm not sure if they say the numbers, just compare them so you know something."

"Hmm. I'll paraphrase it, but it's twice as good."

"What?"

"The Canoe family's tax revenues, that doubles."

"So much!?

That's just amazing.

"Not so much."

"Well, I hear salt taxes are delicious (,,,), but they're true."

"What did you say?"

Mimis looked at me with a cold eye, as if she were frightened.

"Huh?"

"It is only with the efficiency of the purification method that you have knitted that you have achieved this amount. More recently, we've found a magical user of salt refining, and it's expected to become more efficient and pure."

"Oh, wow."

Mimis said, then became an impressed eye.

The other ministers holding back behind them looked at me with the same respect.

God's mercy for doubling tax revenues.

It's going to be another nasty story to leave alone, so I decided to turn the story away.

"I remember with money, Kicking Princess Festival, that's a lot of money."

"Hmm? Good to see you. But for the prestige of the country, you have to do it every year."

"Don't you oppress your finances?

"Even if it seems like it, it's something you can do and open, and that's royalty's … well, it's like working."

"Heh."

Royalty is tough.

"Isn't that what nobility is?"

"We have something similar."

"Oh?"

"My Canoe family has something similar in the past. Every month, we invited the kids to have a treat."

"Have a child?

"The first generation is on record as a big child lover."

"Heh."

That's unexpected.

From what I've heard, the first generation was a swordsmanship idiot with strong swords, but the image is going to change.

"Even if it is a child...... do you want to try it?

"Say?

"That's what our past owners used to do, isn't it?

"Yeah, right."

"Then I'll do it, too. It's a treat for kids, isn't it?

My boom is "normal".

The Canoes were barons until I succeeded them.

I mean, he's mediocre among the nobles.

Doing the same with those mediocre ancestors is the first step towards "normality".

In this case, it is important to say that normality is normal, even as a nobleman.

All right, I'll take care of it.

Mimis slapped Don on the chest and answered reliably.

A few days later, similarly the hall of sight, the time of the clerk.

"About your order the other day."

"Yeah?"

I was half listening for the usual, but I put my consciousness back in the misses.

"What order?

It's about inviting kids.

"Oh, or"

"About a thousand people from the territory, we were to invite children. This is a list of what's come up from all over the place."

"Right - a thousand people!?

I nearly received the list and stopped by surprise.

"Ha."

"Why not?"

"It's the name of the past when the owners actually went, but I made them recommend kids who excelled in studies, or purely good kids, etc., to villages in the realm"

"Hmm."

Well, that's a natural condition.

"Then you came up a lot. Conditions are conditional, and if you're invited, you'll be honored to say you'll be recognized by your lord."

"I see."

"So because of this, I tried to invite them all. It's because of this, and I was wondering if you could show me that your husband is fat."

"Something extra. No, I don't mind."

"By the way, as in the past, we put it in the form of your pocket money."

"Pocket money?

"That's in the form of inviting the kids for a dime. It was the second generation that started it, because it was still before I took over the house."

"So a penny."

I opened the list.

Besides the name, the list says where you're from and why you're so sloppy.

I read it appropriately because it is a good way to praise a child that most of the time comes.

"This honors you all."

"... what? Why?"

"It's fat of you to invite 1000 kids in your pocket money to behave like a treat. And every month."

"... no, no, it's tradition, right? You have a precedent, don't you?

"But it's been a long time since we've had an interruption. It's no longer an event in history, and for the majority of the people, we honor you as what you came up with."

"Ooh......"

Is that what's gonna happen...... hah.
