I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability - CH 273

The next day, it was time to get up to head to the Office.

I stopped Mil from getting up with my hand.

“You get some rest today. You must be tired.”

Mil looks quite sleepy.

I thought she would nod, but she looked a little sulky.

“I can’t just sleep alone.”

You want to be with me, that’s very nice to hear, but it’s indeed not good.

I shrugged my shoulders with a wry smile.

“Kiara is leading the tour, so it’s not good to have no one in the Office. After the inspection, we can take a break together. So, just relax and take it easy today.”

Mil looked like she wanted to say something, but she just pulled the covers over her head.

“I’m off then.”

Mil only took her hand out from under the covers and waved it.

I guess she needs a Mind massage.

It’s just me and the assistant aides in the Office.

I quietly look over the documents the aides gives me, ask a few questions, and then approve them.

The aides are growing up quite well.

It’s about time to increase the number of aides.

I guess I’ll make the two of them increase the team…

The day’s work ends rather peacefully, and dinner time arrives.

The whole family is here.

Today, they’re guided by Kiara, but there seemed to be no problems.

While making small talk, Maman looks at me.

“It’s soap, but I wonder if you could make it smell like perfume.”

Oh, that reminds me… I had completely forgotten about that.

“I understand. I’ll direct the research.”

This time, brother Amilcarre leaned forward.

“Alfred, the civil engineers here are amazing. I’ve never seen magic used like that before. They are also very good at other things. I would like to send an apprentice engineer to work for you, but I wonder if that’s all right?”

I let them experiment and see if they could apply their magic to civil engineering, after all.

“I don’t mind.”

Brother Baldassarre chuckled.

“It’s amazing you have done all this in three years. However, I’ve received criticism from people outside. “Even after three years, not much has been accomplished. If we just send the knights to conquer, it will be over quickly”. Those kinds of people have been saying that here and there. We’ve come here to inspect the place in order to silence them.”

Oh, that’s one reason.

Kiara and Mil looked indignant.

I chuckled and stopped them from saying anything.

As a matter of fact, it was an ideal development.

“If that’s how they see it from the outside, that’s very fine. If things are going well, there will be some unscrupulous people who will try to drag our family down. Just give the people outside a good excuse.”

“”

Maman gave me a curious look.

“That’s right, Alfred should concentrate on consolidating the region. We’ll deceive them well for you. But I’ve heard some things I can’t ignore. “He’s been collecting useless junk from all over the country and playing at developing his territory. It’s an extravagant toy for a third son”. I shut him up about this one, as expected. The people Alfred invited are not active where they used to be. So they assumed that they are useless.”

Junk? Don’t be silly.

I’m very offended.

If you create the right environment, people will perform accordingly.

It is the superior’s job to create that environment.

First, create the environment.

Then you can judge if it’s not good enough.

The more incompetent people are, the less they can utilize people, and the more they label them.

I know there is no point in explaining things to people who label people like that, because they don’t understand it.

However, I am very angry at this statement.

Disrespecting someone will never make the person insulting competent.

“They are very competent, far from “useless junk”. I assure you. If they say such a joke in front of me, I’ll definitely not let them go.”

The air around me hardens at my uncomfortable expression.

Brother Amilcarre, who had been staring at my face, suddenly became aware of what was happening.

“Hey, Alfred. Is it popular to work out in your territory?”

Yes? I was suddenly drained of all my venom.

“I don’t think it’s popular…”

Kiara started laughing.

“I took them to the training grounds during their inspection. There was a group of people there, mainly the tiger tribesmen, who were training hard. They were shouting not to lose to the Rabbit tribesman, Rui.”

What a fad… why is that the entertainment that increased!

Mil began to laugh as well.

“They seem to be getting excited for next year’s Carnival. Ardelheid seems excited about having a contest for strength as well as physical beauty.”

T-That woman… she really might make it a specialty.

However, I can’t just stop everyone from looking having fun.

The only way I can do is… make them stick to one place and keep me out.

“Let’s build a venue outside of town. Something that can double as a theater…”

Brother Baldassarre chuckled.

“The Alfredo’s town is interesting in many ways. We are almost at the end of our inspection tour, but there is a hot spring as a place to recuperate, isn’t there? I would like to end my visit with a visit there, is that’s all right?”

Oh, it’s almost over.

“No problem. Please take all the aides with you, Mil and Kiara, while you show them around. If the aides want to call their families, that’s fine too. Let them have a little relaxation. I’ll take care of the urgent business. Other than that, we’ll deal with them when you get back.”

Mil is a bit frustrated.

“Why isn’t Al coming?”

“There may be an urgent report related to the demon tribe. I’ll stay here alone.”

Kiara nodded grudgingly.

“I have no choice if brother’s request. It might be a good vacation for the aides.”

They look a little mentally fatigued, after all.

In such a state, they may make unnecessary mistakes, which is not good for us.

It is not in anyone’s interest.

However, brother Amilcarre did a good job of changing the atmosphere…
