Chapter 188 The Job Of The Head Manager
"What do you need?"
Corbett asked right away.
"Oyakata-sama has become the acting head manager of the Adventurers Guild, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"In that case, I'd like to borrow one Attribute Display Assist Board Magic Tool. And if possible, I'd like permission to dismantle it as well."
"Oh, that thing. Do we have a spare one?"
"When you say 'spare,' you mean a backup, right? If so, Niavarma nodded discreetly."
Niavarma-san is probably taking care of things in place of Kumeiriana-san.
"Does that have something to do with what I'm asking for?"
"Yes. There are some parts of Hifumicho (flying bird) that I am still unsure about, and I want to analyze what attributes it has. So, I thought of using that Magic Tool."
"I see. Okay. I'll ask mother about it first. Is that okay?"
"Yes, that's fine."
"Maya will talk with Alesion-tan and the others here."
"Okay, okay."
"Have a safe trip, big brother."
'Guu'
'Kuu'
"I'll be back."
Just as I was about to take a step, a carriage stopped in front of me.
"What's this?"
"Oyakata-sama. Long time no see. Well then, I'll leave the rest to you, Corbett-san."
With that, the stable manager Orvitta-san waved goodbye and left.
"Um, Oyakata-sama."
"Yes?"
"You are the heir to the Ensgard Kingdom Duke family. Don't you think we can't let someone like that walk around?"
"Whoa, seriously?"
"Hahaha."
"In that case, will Berberi-san be there?"
"...There is no way. There is no way he will be there."
"I see. I was going to ask for an escort if he were there... Oh well. I'll just have to wait until Rosalier-san's units are ready. Patience, patience."
"Take care!"
'Guu'
'Kuu'
Reluctantly, I ended up traveling this short distance by carriage.
I'm riding in Mother's carriage. It feels so nostalgic. The horses pulling it seemed to remember me too.
With a clatter, we arrived at the back of the Guild Headquarters building. The double doors opened, and the carriage went in.
"When you return, please contact Maya-sama."
"Alright, alright."
"Don't even think about walking back. If something happens—"
"Corbett-san, you're jinxing it. Well, I won't die, so it's fine."
"It's not about that. It's about dignity."
"I'm in a tough spot now, yes."
Corbett-san chuckled and turned the carriage around. When the back door opened, Niavarma-san was there.
"Oyakata-sama, sorry to bother you so soon."
"Good job, Niavarma-san."
"Thank you. Actually, about that..."
"Oh, sorry for cutting you off."
"No, it's just... When will Kumeiriana-san be back?"
"Oh, she was fired recently."
"What?"
Niavarma-san looked surprised.
"My mother fired her directly."
"Why, again?"
"About Kumei-san, she became the queen of Wareels."
"Oh, really?"
"Anyway, let's talk in the head manager's office. Is the reception okay?"
"Yes, it's okay, but..."
We walked through the hallway to the head manager's office. We opened the door and entered a splendid room. I sat on the chair placed by the desk in the middle of the window.
"Wow, it's quite big, maybe it's the size of mother's."
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, I became the acting head manager."
"...Huh?"
It seemed like Niavarma-san was confused. There were too many things happening, and it seemed like she couldn't keep up.
I moved to the sofa and briefly explained. Finally, she seemed to understand.
"...Am I going to manage it alone?"
"Yeah, in that case, it's okay to call someone from the Black Forest Human tribe."
"Then, let's bring Brigitte-neesan here."
"Is that okay?"
"We women, even though we are the ones who organize everything, end up doing mostly odd jobs and don't really have any specific tasks assigned to us."
"Oh really?"
"Let's leave all the reception and administrative tasks to Brigitte-neesan. I think that way she can really showcase her skills."
"Well, if that works, then it's fine."
"Yes. I'll inform her tonight as 'Oyakata-sama's orders'."
"Oh my..."
I tapped on the item in my inventory. A Magic Tool shaped like a bird appeared in the palm of my hand. It had a beautiful form resembling a hawk, but it was palm-sized. The fact that it's a hawk and not a dove might be different from the other world's norms? It could just be the preference of the creator though.
Ah, it's definitely here. This Magic Tool contains Space Magic that can store letters on both feet parts. It's such a small tool, yet it can fit a whole piece of paper. It's truly a mysterious Magic Tool.
Oh, I see. So it's the same theory as that pouch Rosalier-san has. I get it now.
Can I dismantle one Attribute Display Assist Magic Tool for this? I want to create a new Magic Tool that allows long-distance communication through writing, so I'll write that down. Finally, in the drawer of this desk, there it is. Feed the magic stone the size of a grain of rice and place it on the palm of your hand to open the window.
"Wow, it really flew off. It can reach there in about half a day, which is quite something."
From there, it was kind of like hell in a way. In place of Mother, my job is acting head manager's. The main tasks include reviewing documents for pending approvals and making decisions on whether to grant permission or not.
And there's so much of it. Time passes when you go over there, so the documents pile up and it takes a while to review them.
"Maybe Mother, did she know about this?"
I looked through the documents and stamped either approval or disapproval. There must have been about 200 sheets. There were quite a few things that were difficult to decide on and I couldn't do it carelessly.
In the meantime, lunch was delivered and it made me feel nostalgic for Rosalier-san's cooking. It's only been a few days.
In the afternoon, I continued to look through and stamp the documents. When I was about halfway done and taking a break, Niavarma-san called for me. There, I met Maya-chan, who had come for treatment for Oso (Dreadful element) poison.
"Sorry, big brother, could you do this for me?"
"Sure. 'Dis Recover,' 'Full Recover,' and how many more?"
"Um, about 50 more? I'll ask you later."
"Okay. I'm going to be buried under this mountain of paperwork."
"Take care."
"Got it."
