Volume 3 Chapter 58 Grandmother's Request V
Cain and his friends went straight back to the mansion from the magic tool shop. At the door, the Third Butler, Nikolai, greeted them.
"Welcome home, Sir Cain."
"I'm back. Mr. Nikolai, is there something you need from me?"
Usually, a maid greeted them, so Cain was curious why Mr. Nikolai was there.
"Yes, suddenly, but the Lord had time, so please come to the bathhouse. Sorry for the trouble right after you returned."
Mr. Nikolai bowed sharply at a 90-degree angle.
"Got it. I'll change first, so come pick me up later."
Mr. Nikolai simply replied, "Yes."
Cain rushed to his room to change. Just as he finished, someone knocked on the door. It felt perfectly timed, like someone was watching.
"Grandfather, it's Cain. Excuse me."
Cain knocked on the office door, said his name, and heard, "Come in."
"Grandfather, I'm back. Thanks for your time today. I'm here to ask permission to build the bathhouse."
Cain walked to the desk, greeted, and explained. Nikolai handed over a proposal, and Margrave Shield checked it.
"Hmm, Cain, sorry about this. Aisha really pushed for it, especially after Lydia's letter. She's been envious. I was planning to ask you soon."
Margrave Shield looked sorry as he asked Cain for a favor.
"It's fine. What matters is that Grandmother will be happy."
"Sorry. The plan in the proposal is good to go."
"Thanks a lot. Once it's done, let me help wash your back."
Cain smiled kindly and said this.
After that, they talked about when to start and how to arrange the workers. Cain would make the foundation, bathtub, and walls, while the workers would do the roof and windows. Cain was also in charge of drainage.
Cain felt relieved, thinking it could be done in about 2 weeks. He'd only be in the Margrave Shield territory for another month, so he was busy.
After dinner, Cain went to his room and thought about future plans. Since he couldn't organize his thoughts, he grabbed a pen and parchment and started writing.
"Ah, writing it down shows how tough the situation is... but why did it come to this?"
After dinner, he wrote down his plans and saw clearly what he needed to do.
~~~
1. Pave territory roads with cobblestones.
2. Build a bridge.
3. Teach shortcake making.
4. Build a bathhouse.
5. Visit Zain's hometown.

"I wanted to enjoy my stay here without rushing, but if I do all this, everyone will be happy, so I'll push through?"
Cain muttered, scratching his head with the pen.
"Hmm, I'm bad at scheduling. What should I do? ...I should ask for help! Alright, I'll talk to everyone after work tomorrow. And since tomorrow's early, I'll sleep now."
After deciding, he got sleepy and went to bed.

"Today's work is done. Mr. Doughton, everyone, thanks for your hard work."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
When Cain finished speaking, everyone replied cheerfully.
"Sir Cain, what's next? Since we finished early, want to check the general store?"
Doughton asked kindly.
"Thanks, Mr. Doughton. But I need to discuss future plans today, so let's do it another time."
Doughton said, "Got it. Definitely next time," and they parted.
After reporting back, Cain and his friends met in his room. Barvish, Gardy, and even Lala were there.
"Thanks for coming despite being busy. I wanted to talk about future plans, so I gathered everyone."
He spread the to-do list from last night on the table.
