Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World Chapter 73: Kuro Allegan

Kuro spent his ti observing the ant colony. What was so funny was that he didn't even seem to notice that soone had approached him.

I made a slight noise.

Rustle!

"Hello?"

A stranger suddenly walks into his backyard, and he says hello first.

Clearly, this one wasn't normal either.

Or maybe he's an extraordinary person.

I was trying to get to the main point quickly, in case there was any misunderstanding, but it ended up being aningless.

"I ca here on the recomndation of the Hojein Butler. I heard you used to run the upper company."

"There was a ti like that. It was going well until so thugs ruined it."

Since the war had caused the Three Kingdoms to decline, the thug bastard was probably the Empire.

Then wouldn't the atmosphere beco really strange?

I am Dukeke of the Empire and a governor dispatched by the Empire. Of course, I didn't feel bad or anything. I'm not a very patriotic person.

Still, I have to say what I have to say sothing.

"I'm sorry. I'm with those thugs."

"Are you from the Empire?"

"Yes."

"What do you do?"

"I'm a Governor."

Kuro's face distorted without rcy. I was about to hit him, but he suddenly fell flat on the floor.

"Oh my! A thug bastard in a great empire. The reason I went under was because I used a loan shark wrong. Are there a lot of usurers in Deliat? Yes, of course there are."

This was such a huge change of scenery, he seed more interesting than I expected.

I didn't really like the talk about exploitation.

'Then where should I take a look at his personal information?'

****

**Na:** Kuro Allegan

**Status:** Viscount (vassal state)

**Position:** None

**Relationship:** No acquaintance

**Status:** Aspirations for new heights, pessimism about the empty reality, severe lethargy.

**Skill:** Employee Exploitation

**Overall Ability:** A

----

'Not bad. But what is that?'

The information window was no different than usual. But, isn't the word skill sparkling? This seed to be the reward I received this ti.

'It would be nice if you could copy the skill. Princess's 'One Who Is Followed by Fortune' is said to be very coveted.'

I focused straight on the glowing letters. Then a new window suddenly popped up.

****

**Title:** Employee Exploitation

**Effect:** Can draw out 150% of employees' capacity. Can be done simply by instigation.

**Side effects:** If used too often, may cause riots.

---

"Ohh?"

Unfortunately, this reward is just for confirmation. It didn't seem like it was copying skills. Still, it was a good skill that made exclaim in admiration.

So can make his employees more energetic just by talking?

There are side effects, but where aren't there? Just adjust it appropriately.

In that respect, Kuro was truly the best middle manager.

'I can't miss this guy.'

I imdiately handed over two pieces of paper.

"What is this?"

"The organization chart and contract. I'm going to organize the top. You see it at the very top?"

"Yes, the head of the company…"

"Can you take that position? I'll pay you well."

Honestly, the odds were fifty-fifty. Because He may not want to work under soone else, or he may want to have his own top.

"Are you saying I am the top manager?"

"Yes, just follow a few rules and the rest will take care of itself."

"What is that rules?"

"The minimum wage law must be followed. Do not do anything unjust."

"… Is that all?"

However, Kuro's answer was sowhat unexpected. A minimum wage law was already in effect in Delaware.

Because I issued a decree that the monthly salary should be at least 1 shilling.

But I heard that there are people who knowingly or unknowingly violate the law by tricking them, like firing them the day before payday.

The administrative power of the Governor-General's Office is still in shambles, so we are just going to wait and see, but we plan to strike it down all at once. Anyway, I thought Kuro was thinking similarly.

"They were talking about exploitation or sothing. I thought they didn't even consider the governor's proclamation."

"Oh, that's right. It doesn't an I won't give you money."

"What?"

"Should I say that I exploit my employees' passion? I'm good at motivating them."

Now I get it.

This guy was a natural cheerleader. It wasn't really exploitation, it was just supporting them so they could work hard.

'If that's the case, then that's good.'

Kuro imdiately stamped his seal on the contract. It looked like a seal made when things went well, decorated with sparkling jewels.

Besides, he's a freeloader living off his brother's family, but isn't he still a baron?

Of course, there would be sothing like that. The recruitnt process went smoothly. But then suddenly Kuro's question continued.

"If you do that, you won't be doing business with people, right?"

"Slave trading? Well, if necessary, I can do it."

It may seem absurd to modern people, but this was a world of extre dark fantasy.

Even in the empire, aren't most of the people serfs?

Here, calling for the abolition of the caste system was nothing short of crazy.

Moreover, Deliat was even incorporated into an autonomous territory.

Prisoners of war were plentiful, and many escaped and were enslaved.

How on earth can you stop sothing like that?

The reality is that administrative power does not even reach half of the country.

But what Kuro said was sowhat different.

"Not just a simple slave, but sothing a little more expensive."

"Yes?"

"Well, you know? Sotis even noble people fall."

"...Ah!"

It was only then that I realized the aning of human business.

Didn't I have a similar trial just before I took office as governor?

Skyler Sierra used to kidnap noble ladies of the Western Confederation.

"I guess that's common here."

"Originally, when public order is unstable, all sorts of things tend to happen. Anyway, since you don't do business with people, I guess you just have to watch out for the Freta guys."

"Freta?"

"They call themselves the underworld, but they're just a bunch of people who have a terrible life. If you don't give them a good woman, they'll retaliate like crazy."

"Huh! Are they asking for sothing like that from above? What have they been doing up until now without subjugating?"

"They are very secretive, and surprisingly, they pay well. Everyone tends to keep quiet."

It just felt like they were avoiding it because it was dirty. Plus, it would give them extra inco, so they would just throw away the slaves they got.

"But what if they kidnap a noble lady? Do they collect ransom from her family?"

"Probably so. First, hand it over to the Empire…"

I couldn't help but frown when I realized that such crazy talk was real. But then suddenly there was sothing quite refreshing.

"Just dispose of it here. Why are they handing it over to the Empire?"

"There must be so people watching over them. They must be people of considerable power or a fairly large group. Huh!"

Kuro suddenly covered his mouth with both hands.

It was a look in his eyes as if he had said sothing unnecessary.

But why is it like that? He already said it all.

'By the way, isn't this very suspicious?'

I had a feeling that the organization called Preta might have so kind of connection with Skyler. I curled the corners of my lips and reached out to Kuro.

"I'll take care of the rest. Kuro, please take care of the upper part. It would also be nice to et up with old acquaintances."

"Of course. I will show you the results soon."

"Okay. See you then."

The steps returning to the Governor-General's Office were extrely light.

Because I got the clue to counterattack from an unexpected place. If i can wipe out those Freta guys, i might be able to uncover Skyler's other cris as well.

'This ti, I'll catch you and put you in a perfect position, basterd.'
