Chapter 49 – The sirls
“Rebecca-san, we still haven’t greeted the villagers yet afterif I could hire available villagers who can help clean the mansion, cook and such” [Jirou]
“Greetings? Ah, that’s right Actually s about Jirou have already becouess it would be polite for you to go greet them” [Rebecca]
Those ords that I couldn’t possibly ignore
“R-Rumours…?” [Jirou]
“If you were to head towards the forest froht? It’s been really lively there recently, so that’s why” [Rebecca]
Indeed That was true Not only were there construction workers being seen heading towards the forest to transport e that was travelling back and forth every day… All that coers’ curiosity, I suppose…
But well, at least on't haveto them All's well that ends well!
“Then let’s just tell the villagers that the residence is ‘built’ in the forest since no one could identify that mansion As Diana had said before, that place is ‘protected by a barrier’, so it would be troublesome to explain” [Jirou]
“Hht be a better idea But, if that’s the case then, probably…” [Rebecca]
“Probably?” [Jirou]
“Nn, well it’ll probably be alright Let’s go greet the village chief” [Rebecca]
Somehow Rebecca-san seeht, it should be alright
It would not have been a problee chief, but it seee instantly
I have heard of it before, that news usually travels at an abnore like this, but that was further proof of how a the power of the word-of-mouth can be It was a relief since it would, indeed, be a pain to assereet them
“I want to choose soe to be a maid!”
This was the contradiction that had been -term maid is not just for fun Therefore, it was only to be expected that I would like to select from as many choices as possible
“It doesn’t irl” The thought had once never crossed my mind at all Truly
“By the way, for umm a maid, ould be the rate to hire one? On a monthly basis…, Well, I think I can afford to pay to soh If the approximate price is…” [Jirou]
I don’t know the general concept of the 'day off' in this world, but for a general weekly day off job (1 day off per week), they will need to work fro that lunch is provided, and a uniform is loaned to them, the amount needed for them to support themselves is quite low
If ere to estie, 8 hours of ould be 6400 yen There will be no transportation fees incurred as they will be travelling by foot Considering that they will be working for 5 days a week, and there are 5 weeks in a month, the total amount after calculation would be 25 days x 6400 Yen = 160,000 yen (1)
If I were to convert it to the amount here then…
“About one gold coin, then…” [Jirou]
When I presented the aed looks
dah the fact that I am actually a miser!!
“Er that I was only offering one gold coin H-Haha As I thought, it should be around 2 gold coins…” [Jirou]
”That's not it, Jirou… One gold coin is tooa professional steward, but you’re just looking for soht? If that’s the job scope, then it is not related to vocation at all Anyone in the village would be able to do it So, wouldn't it cost only 3 to 5 silver coins?” [Rebecca]
“As expected of Erishe If this were the Iet lots of applicants pouring in even for 1 silver coin” [Hetty]
“Ah, it still seems to be that way there” [Rebecca]
“Still, it has become much preferable than a contracted one” [Hetty]
Rebecca-san and Hetty-san were discussing about the differences between Erishe and the Iher because Erishe is more prosperous than the other towns? Even so, it would seeh
The front of a huge house cauided us Despite its size, it looks similar to other one-storey houses e chief-sa for When Rebecca-san called out the village chief’s name, the door opened and a white bearded oldlooked at hiet was that, “Yup, this person is definitely the village chief”
“…Oh, so that’s the reason I had never expected an influential merchant like Jirou-sama would set up a e, would absolutely love to extend our friendshi+p to you” [village chief]
When Rebecca-san briefly introduced e chief replied with such exaggerated words Since when did I give people the impression of an influential merchant?
“That’s because you said you ‘built’ your mansion It’s the norm that only wealthy merchants would build aefficiency into account” [Rebecca]
Rebecca-san explained in a whisper I-I see… He thought it was so like a villa, I supposed…
True, it would be easier for ers were to think that I'uess it's fine
My greeting was carried out s ait to the reliable Rebecca-san to break the ice about it, but since they had ht that I was an influential merchant, it would be okay for me to do it too
“Oh, if that’s the case then…” [village chief]
The village chief suddenly began gathering people after listening to my story Before I had realized it, it had already developed into a situation in which there were nearly 50 villagers asseether
I should have sed my embarrassment and said that this job was restricted to only teens!
Based on what Hetty-san said, a live-in job in which the job scope includes only housework and horse care, that pays not only 5 silver coins, but also provides meals, would easily attract at least 1000 applicants in the Imperial Capital
First of all, I would naturally pass on the second sons, third sons, fourth sons, and young faruys co to hire a maid?!
As for the aunties or young wives, there shouldn’t be any probleht be too blatant if I were to disirls)
The nuht
Although, even if I did say that they are country girls, they are naturally not japanese, but western country girls They have darkish red hair with braids, and straw hats perched on top of their heads They remindedtio There were some of them who appeared to have oriental looks too, but I wasn’t sure which race they were from
“…Well, Rebecca-san, the nuathered was ht I would like to interview them one by one before I decide What do you think?” [Jirou]
“Sure, why not? I’ive some advice to a certain extent” [Rebecca]
Thus, I ended up borrowing the village chief's house to give them individual interviews
