127 CHAPTER X NEXT PLANS (1) (1/2)

Two weeks after building the orphanage, the slum's orphan problem has been solved.

There are no more children sleeping on the streets of the city, so they should be OK for now.

Bill and the others are living in the orphanage with an open mind.

I'm impressed that they're all working hard at their studies, swordplay and magic.

Well, that's thanks to Anne and Camilla and the others.

And now that the military police have been recruited and security has been strengthened, the city is starting to become safer.

So, let's move on to the next plan.

Mr. Fleur, I'm free to use the place where the black market district used to be, aren't I?

'What?　Ah, yes . It's okay, but ...... what are you going to do?

Yeah, it's all right to use.

I'll put it to good use. I'm out of here.

”Hey!　Detailed description: ......

Before Miss Flare could finish saying anything, I had shifted to a place.

”Okay, I'm here. Maybe it's supposed to be a holiday today. ......

While saying this, I was at the mansion in the imperial capital .

''Yes . Ah, Mr. Leons. What's going on?

I rang the doorbell, and a butler came out.

”I'm here to see Miss Elsie. Are you here?

'Chairman Elsie?　If you're the Chairman, it's your day off and you're resting in your room. Shall I go and let you know?

Oh, you're here. Good.

No, no, that's okay. I don't want you to leave your room and come all the way up here, so I'll go to my room.

The house is huge, and it's hard to get from one room to the other.

I've been here a few times and I know where Elsie's room is, you know.

'All right. Well, I'll go ahead and tell the chairman.

Oh, nice to meet you.

Come to think of it, I didn't tell him anything first: .......

Well, it looks like the butler is going to go ahead and tell him and come over, so it's okay .

Then I slowly walked to Elsie's room and knocked on the door.

Knock.

Miss Elsie, can I come in?

'No!　Don't go in yet!　When you're ready, I'll open it for you, so you'll just have to wait a little longer!

Uh-huh. Okay.

I knocked on the door, and when I heard a loud voice, I let go of the doorknob and grabbed it.

I'm sorry. I knew I should've called first.

Then, a while later.

Click.

We're ready to go: ....... If you're already coming, go ahead and call me!

Miss Elsie, who was sweating, opened the door and complained with a disgruntled look on her face .

'I'm sorry . I'll be more careful next time.

Well, okay. So what's up with you coming to see me after all these years?　I thought you suddenly stopped coming to see me, but you haven't come for a year, it's terrible. I've missed you so much, you know?

Oh, by the way, I haven't been here that much already ...... I should have come by once in a while .

I felt terribly sorry for Elsie, who looked really sad.

I'm sorry ....... I'm sorry the school has turned into a dormitory ......

The truth is, it's because I couldn't leave Belle and Shelly and Leena alone to come here: .......

'Yes, I know . So I gave up on it, too . But the school's been on a long vacation and no matter when, Leo-kun hasn't been here.

'Sorry, I'm sorry ....... I've been busy running the estate: ......

I've been in the territory since the day of the holiday. .......

'I know that, too . It's not an exaggeration to say it's a sacred place for merchants, Muldean . You were made lord of the city there, weren't you?　I know you're busy. But!　Then you can rely on us for extra help!

Ummm, yeah, .......

Huh?　Didn't Elsie have this kind of personality?

Maybe it's just a hazy memory because I haven't seen her in a year, but wasn't Elsie more mature?

'Our Chamber of Commerce would bring it to the development of the city, right?　If you want, I can turn Leo-kun's city into a city full of magic tools.

'What?　Ah, yes ....... I'd like to ask Elsie to do something about that: ......

'Really?　What do I have to do?　I'd love to hear it!

Hey!　Let me talk!

There's nothing to explain.

''Umm, yeah ....... Well then, I want to explain it to Master, and let's go to Master's shop.

Once I explained it to Elsie-san, I was going to ask my masters to help me, but I decided to ask my masters for help because I was going to have a hard time explaining it .

''I understand!''

When I held out my hand to make the transition, Elsie happily squeezed it with both hands .

Really, did I have this kind of personality ......?

Master!

Hmm?　What's that voice?!

When he arrived at Master's shop and called Master, a surprised look on his face came out .

''Long time no see!''

Hey, you!　Get your face out!

When I said hello, he came very close.

Are you happy to see your apprentice for the first time in a long time?

”I'm sorry... I live in a dormitory. ......

I made the same excuse as Miss Elsie.

”Hmm?　Hey. Hey, come here. Elsie, I need you to get in here. Just give me a minute.

No, it's been so long. Enjoy your time alone with your master and brother.

Master suddenly grabbed me and asked Elsie for permission to do something before he took me into the back room .

'Oh, um, ...... what's going on?　And ...... did you have a personality like that, Elsie?
