Chapter 103: Completion and First Vassals
「To really be able to do it in three days....」
「That’s the power of [Workshop] ~dearimasu!」
*Mufuu*, Rosetta puffs her thin chest with pride.
Looking at [Workshop]’s monitor, a pure white, small (although I said that, it is by far larger than Belfast’s residence by far) castle showed up in front of my eyes.
Because it was said that the strength of fabrics that got dirty or got worn out wouldn’t be restored even if disassembly-reconstructing was done, brand new ones were prepared. If I went back to the extent of getting sothing like silkworm’s cocoon, I might have gotten it free of charge, but it was faster to buy it. Frankly, things such as making sothing from raw materials is the pinnacle of difficulty. I am not inconvenienced in regards to money.
Ma, I was able to cut hinoki cypress and evergreen oaks for lumber. This way was faster than buying.
In regard to glass, in order to make it at the ti of Empire’s rebellion, I thought about changing the transparency of iron plates in that situation; however, if I kept making those with [Workshop], magic would completely vanish from it, and I would get stuck with applying magic on all the iron plates after construction was done. Well, I was able to do it in one shot with my smartphone, but still.
After this and that, the castle was built.
After raising it over the big moat, we crossed over the big drawbridge yet again and advanced towards the inside of castle walls. The water in the moat is perfectly clear; it appears that it was being pulled from the nearby river. The purification system seems to be similar to the one used in the canals going around the Babylon. By rging the floodgates upstream and downstream, at tis when it seems that a flood will occur after heavy rain or sothing, it is also possible to alter the flow’s direction.
When we enter the inside of castle walls after passing through the splendid castle gates, there are defense facilities composed of side towers and ramparts and so on, as well as the gatekeepers-san’s guardroom, and then there was also a large garden spreading out. And the back of the house lead to the training field.
Furthermore, when we ascended the spacious stairway built with splendid marble inside, a gorgeous water fountain at the center of the garden beca visible.
When we proceeded further, crossing the garden, the gate leading inside of the castle finally ca into sight. When we opened the large double doors and entered inside, an unbelievably high open ceiling with wonderful chandelier and a big staircase leading to the second floor lay before our eyes. The staircase with the laid out red carpet divides to the left and right midway, and connects towards the second floor.
That shape of a drawn gentle curve–when I thought where have I seen that, I rembered, no way, it resembled Belfast’s castle. When I think about that seriously, isn’t that natural? After all, this castle is using Belfast’s castle’s design as the foundation.
「It is lovely. It is sohow soothing」
It seems Yumina feels similar as well. She felt so since it resembles the place where she was born and raised, you know.
Ascending to the second floor, when we opened the big door of a secluded room, an extravagantly wide place with high ceiling ca into view. Furnished with a big skylight in the ceiling, the room had shining light downpour on a gorgeous chair which is raised above the floor. Is this the audience room?
「Isn’t that a little too gorgeous? This thing.......」
Who will be the one sitting there? ?
「It is surely the place to receive the visiting ssengers of the foreign countries and others, thus if it isn’t at least this extravagant, you will be made fun of. Touya-sama’s magnificence has to be shown off」
I understand what Ruu says as well, but...... I am still embarrassed, sohow. After being asked to try to sit on the chair by everyone and then coerced, I tried to sit down for the ti being, but it was the most uncomfortable. However, everyone said things like [Ooh~] and [quite good] at their own convenience.
First of all, there will be no ssengers or such in a country where there is still nothing, I think. And even then, there are no vassals as well. It will be unnecessary for a while.
After that, everyone, wondering about their own rooms and so on, looked around the facilities freely. I as well tried to visit reception hall, dining hall, library, concert hall, drill ground, courtyard, but I was not able to bring myself to see them all. As I thought, isn’t it too spacious? Rather than Belfast’s castle, the plan was to make it considerably smaller, but still.
When we finished looking around to so extent, everyone ca to sit and relax on the sofa at the big room facing the large balcony.
「Weeell, it is spacious ~degozaru. Cleaning it will be dreadful ~degozaru......」
「Well, since the castle is bestowed with [Protection] as a whole, I think neither simple dirt nor cracks won’t attach. However, because the dust will collect.......」
As I answered Yae and turned my head to the balcony, I saw Yumina and Ruu making rry while gazing at the outside scenery. What energy..... That’s youth, isn’t it. Or rather, that makes sound like an old man.
Coming to the place where we relax, the maid corps of Lapis-san, Cecil-san, Rene, and Shisuka brought black tea and tea cakes. Li-san is waiting behind as well.
「A wonderful castle, Danna-sama. By any ans, I didn’t even think that without passing even one year since since I started working, I would be serving in the castle once again」
「Forgive . Li-san originally stopped serving at the castle, returned ho and yet... 」
「No-no. The blood of youth these days seems to be boiling. Since after this, it seems like it will beco even more hectic.......」
Saying so, Li-san laughs. Because the person himself doesn’t mind it, it will be better for not to mind it as well.
「Master, there surely is a garden with a fountain in it, but is it fine to revise it a little bit again?」
While pouring the tea, Shisuka asks such a thing. Since she was managing the sky garden of Babylon, I guess gardening is her forte. Apart from Julio-san, who is in charge of courtyard, it has been decided that Shisuka may do as she likes in regard to garden.
「By the way, the training room in castle...」
「There is one ! ! 」
(TL: I assu it is so kind of euphemism for S&M play. UP: after googling the kanji, I am now sure of it. NSFW)
She truly does not behave, this fellow!
When I picked up the tea cup, Rene placed the bowl with tea cakes for . After that ti, Rene heard about her own origin from Carol-san. However, instead of returning to the Empire, she announced to continuing to live here. And promised to et with grandmother eventually when she sorted out her feelings.
Rene too, got used to the maid appearance, and it seems that she grew accustod to everyone’s help as well. Sotis she makes a mistake too, but her level isn’t bad.
「However, Danna-sama~. If cos to us living here as well, won’t it be a little inconvenient~? It will be a hard ti as well to go to buy things, you know~? 」
Cecil-san asks with the soft sa as usual tone. Certainly, with there being nothing but the castle in this country, it isn’t possible to even do shopping.
「Tentatively, the plan is to connect this place and Belfast’s mansion with [Gate], you see. It is indeed inconvenient 」
I considered that since before, and thought about making an authentication type [Gate]. By making a [Program], it will be prepared so that only the people I authorize could pass by. After all, it is better to be cautious.
「Let’s request Tom-san and Hack-san to be the mansion’s gatekeepers as is. Thus if sothing happens on the opposite side, they could contact this place. The defense on this side..... That’s it, should we put Cerberus or sothing in garden? 」
「The strongest watchdog, right」
Elsie laughs. Hell’s watchdog is the watchdog of my castle. His nose is good too, if there are intruders, he will imdiately notice them, I think.
It should be fine as well to summon werewolves or lizardn as guards, but as one would expect, if I go that far, it seems like it will be called monster castle or sothing, which I am a bit hesitant about.
「Are? What could it be...... a puppy.... Not. A bear.... A teddy-bear?」
Ruu who was at balcony raised her voice seemingly wondered. A Bear? Could it be.....
Quickly going to the balcony, I concentrate my eyes in the direction where Ruu looks in. Over there walks a stuffed bear with small steps, passing through the castle gates together with its master who opened her black parasol.
===============================Scene-Change=======================
「Good grief...... when I turned my eyes for a mont, you beca a king or sothing... what a promotion, you know. Rather than surprised, I am shocked」
While sitting on the sofa and drinking black tea, Rin declares to so. Opposite from her, after kneeling down, Pola rubbed her hands together as she drew close to . What is the purpose of that [Program]...?
「Moreover, you received a Regulus Empire’s princess among other things? It is good be without worries, right?」
The phrase containing sarcasm sowhere ca flying. Well, accurately speaking, because I received princesses, I got stuck with receiving the country......
「Well, my bad about the place being occupied with nothing but founding a nation, however it was decided that I will co to this country as Misumido ambassador. Please take care of while living together」
「Ha!? Wait a minute, if i rember correctly Rin is an ambassador staying in Belfast, right? 」
「I passed that task to different person. Here seems to be more interesting」
Are you serious..... Well, I don’t really mind but is it fine to change (your work) with reason being that it is interesting or sothing.... Still, if it is His Majesty Beast King of Misumido, he seems to permit it easily.
「And then, there is one personal discussion. There are children saying they want to work here, and I wondered if could you hire them ?」
「Saying they want to work... in this country?」
「That’s right. In Brunhild Dukedom」
N~... Though there are hardly enough assistants, I don’t wanna thoughtlessly employ soone as well. Even if soway or another a scheming fellow doesn’t mix up among them, they won’t be restricted. N? Aah, there is Yumina’s magic eye, right? If it is that, she will be able to see through the person holding an evil intention or malice, I think.
「Well, if that’s the case, for the ti being I will only et them. Where are those people? 」
「They are waiting outside of castle gates」
Taking Yumina and Ruu along, when we moved to the other side of drawbridge, over there were three young lads. Rather than them being young lads, and apart from whether I am the sa as well, they are slightly younger however. When all three of them saw my figure, they lowered their knees and hung their heads. Aaah, stand up, stand up. If you do such a thing, that will be uncomfortable.
Etto, all three of them are beastn, right. Rabbit boy, wolf girl and... fox boy, is it. Are? That rabbit boy.... Where did I.... Ah !
「Etto, you are Rain-san, aren’t you?」
「It has been a while, Touya-sama」
Redheaded short rabbit boy smiles with a grin. That’s right, that’s right, during the travel to Misumido, he was a subordinate of wolfman officer Garun.
Are? Still, if that’s the case, shouldn’t he be the soldier of Misumido?
「I have retired from soldier employnt of Misumido. Please employ in this country sohow」
「Still why... Garun-san was surely pleased with you, and you would be able to get promotion too」
「At the ti when Touya-sama brought down black dragon, I was deeply moved by what a truly amazing person you are. Because of that person founding a nation, not being able already to even stay or stand, depending on request towards Rin-sama...... 」
That’s more than I deserve. Don’t wanna feel that responsibility..... While listening to that, the wolf girl standing next to him giggled.
「Rain-chan. Calm down. Touya-sama is pulling back」
「Ah... for~, forgive 」
Becoming bright red, Rain-san hangs his head in sha. Glancing sideways, the wolf girl with pin-up styled silver hair bows her head a little.
「I am called Norun. You have looked after my older brother」
「Older brother?」
「Norun is a younger sister of officer Garun」
Rain-san gives an explanation to who was looking dubious. Aah, because of that....
The left-over fox boy quickly bowed his head to , who was consenting. He seems like a boy with serious, stiff look. I wonder if he is a few years older than ? He is also tall. His fox ears stretched over his blond hair and fluffy tail are shaking quickly.
「Nicola Strand. Nice to et you. Heika(king)」
Saying so, he takes an upright standing posture with a snap. I would like for you stop with Heika, but..... I am a king of dukedom, appearing to beco a formal king, but it seems that in my forr world there was no such position. It seems to exist in ani world. Though it was destroyed by colony laser (TL: I guess, gundam reference?). Well, it is nonsense to bring up the the common knowledge of the other side. Since it seems to be certainly different still from the [Duke] as in Duke Ortlinde. It seems to not be very good thinking much about it. More than that, what I am wondering about....
「You say Strand..... Do you have any relation to the house of Olga-san?」
「Olga-san is a cousin from father’s side. Trade rchant Orba Strand is my uncle 」
Ah, as I thought. What’s this, doesn’t that make it so that all three people have a connection with after all? When I tried to think about that, this makes sense. Since the nation was just founded, unless it is the people who are sohow personally related to , it won’t likely to be known.
「Those three people are also skillful as it is, I think they are fit to guard this castle」
As I hear Rin’s recomndation, I switch my line of sight to Yumina. She quietly smiles and gives a small nod. It seems like, they passed the judgent of magic eyes.
「N~... I have not yet decided anything, however. Since there is no work resembling that of Knight Order or an Army, I might have you replace it with odd jobs or sothing. If it is still good then」
「「「Please treat well」」」
A nice reply. For the ti being, about the place to live, there is said to be a guardroom as well. n and won should be in different ones, I think. Maybe I should have them live in the main castle. Let’s think about that after the number of people increases.
When an organization similar to the Knight order is made eventually, should I construct a building for that as well.
「Then, two n and one woman, it is still not the number of the Knight Order still. Since it might properly beco one eventually, then....... N?」
Rain-san put on heavy atmosphere towards my words. Norun-san makes an awkward cramped smile, Nicola-san plainly turns away his eyes. Eh? What is it? Did I sohow say sothing bad?
「Baka. Rain-san is the girl, you know」
「..............................wha？」
The words were thrown in from behind by Rin, and looking at the behavior of Pola, who is holding back her face to such impression underneath feet feet, the sweat started running from all of my body. Eh? Are you serious....?
Rotating my face with [gi-gi-gi-gi-gi], I am facing towards Lane-san, who is feeling despondent and dangling her rabbit ears. Eh, short hair, the sense of handso youth is indeed felt... Certainly, If I look properly, neutral-like features, or rather, a woman’s, are visible....right. I can see it.
「.......a woman」
「Forgive for my mistaaake ! ! 」
It is unheard of for an official king to prostrate himself, but the history of this country started just like that.
(TL: there you have it, should we change Rain-san na to Lane-san? Let us know in the comnts)
