Work

　When I moved to my office, the beastman maids were already working there.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry I'm late."

"No, I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about."

　The fox-eared beastman Byaku, who was sorting out the documents, said so and smiled. The White Rat Beastman Mito and Weasel Beastman Fei, who were also sitting at the desk, shook their heads as if they were saying not to worry about it. The three of them are in charge of the brain labor of the beastman maids, or rather, in charge of the documents. Only three of them can read, write and calculate at a level that can be entrusted with paperwork.

"What about the other children?"

"Yes, Luna and Lana are working to exchange documents with Melty-sama. Shen and Olivia are going to the commercial guild to run errands. You are doing

"I see, I understand.

　Check the request first. This is mainly related to the manufacture and sale of new preserved foods such as canned foods and canned noodles.

　Well, it's not a world where there's a fixed template for this kind of document, so to be honest, the format and the written content are all different. There are requests, or even ordinary letters that start with seasonal greetings.

"It's a lot of work to go through each one and classify it... No, thank you for your hard work."

"No way"

"To be honest, it's troublesome"

"It's pretty fun. Some of them are like this... poetic."

　Byaku, Mito, and Fei responded with their own responses.

　Byaku is serious but a little stiff. I would like to get to know him a little more and open up to him. Mito doesn't try to hide his open-minded and lazy nature, but he does his job well. As far as I'm concerned, it's easier to get along with her if she's this fragile. Fei has a good sense of balance, or you could say she has a good sense of things.

"What do you mean by poetic?"

"It's in that other box over there. It's decorated with gold leaf, so it's easy to find."

"Which one... Eh?"

　It started with a seasonal greeting, followed by a text that seemed to praise me, and a strangely poetic feeling that asked for His Excellency's mercy and grace to be given to my territory.

"The place is... near the western border, isn't it? There are many places I haven't been to yet."

"Can you stretch your legs?"

"No, I just came back and I want to take it easy for a while without moving. For the time being, I can't judge this guy by myself, so let's turn it over to Sylphy."

　I don't mind going there, but I've just returned from the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom and would like to relax in the castle for a while, so wouldn't it be risky to build my own farmland near the border? Attach a memo to that effect and put it in the box for Sylphy. If I do this, Luna and Lana, the canine beastkin twins, will carry me.

　With that kind of feeling, I look through the documents that have been sent to me as appropriate. The content is really mixed. I'm starting a new business, so please lend me some money, or, as I heard about in the research and development department earlier, I want to increase the number of lines in the canning factory, so I'd like to ask you to expand and renovate the factory and procure equipment. Do you want me to hurry up?

　There is no attached plan that summarizes detailed data such as how much it will cost and how much profit can be expected, including the expansion of the canning factory line. . None. Do you want to pass requests and petitions? It's a situation that makes you want to say that, but it seems that there is no one in this world who prepares such a thing and sends a request.

　For the time being, the content is to write specifically how much money is required for all projects, and how much monetary profit and other benefits there are for me, or rather, the Merinard Kingdom, as compensation for that. I will send it back with the document attached. I mean, even though I've been asking you to lend me money, are you underestimating that there's no proposal for a repayment plan or how much profit to distribute? Shall I punish you? And for those with too cruel content, I will also add a threatening wording.

　picture? Can I write something like that and send it to you? I'm the prince? Are you the queen's companion? In terms of status, you're number two in the country, right? This kind of behavior would be unheard of. But for the time being, I decided to ask Melty to check it. Because I'm cautious

　When I was processing the documents from right to left like that, Luna and Lana, who are dog-type beastkin twins, came back.

"Ah, Master"

"Came back"

　Praise, praise me, come to my side and stroke the heads of the two wagging their tails. It's a little funny to see Byaku looking at me enviously. I'll pat Byaku's head later.

"The documents to bring are ready, so take them with you. Don't drop them in a hurry or bump into someone."

"Yeah, leave it to me."

"See you"

　I will go directly to Sylphy and Melty, and since there is a department that collects and processes the documents to be delivered outside the castle, I ask them to bring them there. If I want to order express delivery within Mellinesburg, I'll ask Shen and Olivia to run errands for me like I'm doing now.

　After working for a while like that, before I knew it, Lyme and other slime girls were springing up. No, these kids are in trouble because they really come out.

"What's wrong? All together."

"Hello and how are you?"

"I'll take you when you've settled down."

"It's a set-up."

"Ahaha"

　Come to think of it, last night, Sylphy told Lyme and the others. I'll leave my body free for the day tomorrow, or something. As soon as they wake up in the morning, they don't kidnap me to the basement.

"Wait a little longer. We have a few more documents to process today."

"I understood"

"I'll help you."

"It can't be helped."

　Beth and Poizo started writing the attached document for me. Yeah, it's my handwriting. Great reproducibility. It's painful to have to handwrite everything even if it's the same letter, isn't it? I want a computer and a printer.

　Ah, it looks like it will be difficult to use a computer and a printer right away, but I wonder if letterpress printing technology or a typewriter will work? The standard characters in this world are phonetic characters similar to the alphabet, so I feel like I can use a typewriter.

"That's bad, but I'll go to the basement after finishing this area."

"Yes... Um, are you okay?"

"Probably fine. Not life threatening. At least until now."

"Never again. Unless Poizo goes too far."

"At that time, is it okay to do it?"

"Lime is dead, so it can't be used as a pun."

　Knowing it's not going to be a pun means that you've been 'destroyed' at least once, right? picture? Could it be that I've been in danger in the past? I honestly don't remember much.

"Are you safe?"

"Oh, oh"

　I nodded to Lime's words for the time being. Well, it can't be helped to be wary of Lime and the others. It's useless to be vigilant or resist anyway, so it's wise to trust them completely. Yeah.
