How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Gaiden episode 80

Gaiden chapter 12. The spiritist calls the spirits. The sight of the old man flattering him is truly heartbreaking. Are you really going to do that? don't make me think

“Ho-ho-ho-ho! Arell. I want you to see this.”

For example, like that old man in front of you right now.

He is the dean of the Royal Academy, newly appointed the year before last.

They rub their hands together and talk softly to get my interest even a little bit.

I'm so desperate to the point of tears.

“This is a list of the recent achievements of teachers, research students or students working here at the academy.”

“where??????

Pretending to be aloof, I unfold the thick list and leaf through it one by one.

This is an educational institution managed by Ernesia Kingdom.

Royal Academy.

In the past, Asha's younger brother Aimet and young nobles attended the kingdom's educational institution to build learning and networking.

“If they are, they should be able to meet Arel-nim’s request.”

“What are you expecting?”

Responding moderately, I continue to look through the list.

“hmm… … You seem to be studying pretty hard.”

“That's right! No way!”

“But why is it so subtle?”

I frowned and read it aloud.

“The design theory of magic tools that steam potatoes without applying heat.”

“hmm… … It must be convenient.”

“… … A storage method that does not sprout potatoes.”

What is the wisdom of life?

“Easy cooking of potatoes… … It's just cooking!”

Seeing it makes my head hurt. potato. potato. Potatoes anyway.

Well, it's mainly a research project for students.

“Why is potato the subject of all research?”

“Because potatoes are cheap.”

“… … Is it a budget issue?”

Guys, potatoes are cheap.

“For future budgets, at least students will not be allowed to choose such absurd research.”

One of the reasons I recently visited this place. Because he decided to invest in the Royal Academy.

The academy's finances come mainly from the patronage of nobles.

Although the operating expenses come from the royal castle, I can't even say that it's very leisurely.

In such a yard, I stepped out with a big hand.

The dean shook his shoulders as if he was sincerely moved.

“When Arell Ernesia-nim said he was coming, it felt as if I had been saved.”

“Your flattery isn’t normal.”

“no … … In fact, the operating expenses have been tight lately, so not only me but also the professors welcomed it.”

“… … oh my.”

Running this place is hard work.

“Come to think of it, to what extent have the academy expansion plans been sorted out?”

And another thing I'm promoting is preparing a plan to completely overhaul the academy's iron rules.

It has to be modified from the very beginning so that it can perform its role as a purely educational institution and research institution.

Accordingly, a large-scale investment was made and a full-scale expansion work was ordered.

“That's still... … Because it's such a big deal... …

His troubles are for a different reason.

“Did you hear? Originally, the academy was a magic research facility in the early days of the kingdom of Ernesia.”

“I heard the rumors.”

Before the Ernesia Mage Tower was officially created. At the time, this was the place where the first Mage Tower Master did his research.

“Accordingly, there are dozens of rooms in the underground warehouse where the objects of the time are sealed.”

Originally, I had to move it, but I was so busy with work that I couldn't move it.

After the death of the first tower master. The next generation should have followed it, but likewise, it was left alone due to insignificant circumstances, and in the end it is now.

Did you seal it tightly afterwards?

It must be painful to have to take it all out.

“What do you call me… …

“No, it doesn’t matter if it takes some time, so just be meticulous.”

The dean solemnly bowed his head in agreement.

“… … But will you really accept the commoners once this construction is finished?”

“I think so.”

We are looking for a way so that anyone who has the status of Ernesia Kingdom can attend.

“Above all, even His Majesty actively supported this plan. I do not accept disagreements.”

“Is it possible?”

He has no reason to be displeased. The academy's land grows and the amount of support increases. If the number of graduates increases, it would be nice if the weight of the dean's commitment would also increase.

“The problem is about the newly established department. Haven’t you decided on a specific plan for this one?”

“It is the same. There is a mountain to learn, and it will be difficult to divide it.”

In the case of commoners, it would be desperate to be directly connected to livelihood.

commerce or industry... … In some cases, agriculture also wants to be guided by the kingdom.

“Well, we're going to do something with other facilities apart from agriculture, so let's start with the important things.”

“All right. Well then... …

It is to elicit the understanding of the nobles.”

“ah… … Was there that too?”

Even though I personally took over, I did not completely abolish the existing donation method.

I don't think it's something to keep pouring my money into.

Those who want to stand in line, take your money and take turns! It would be desirable to lead with the same feeling.

“To get their attention… … Wouldn’t it be better to show something better than simple persuasion?”

“What are you trying to do?”

“hmm… … As a commemoration, shall I give a special lecture here for a while to attract attention?”

It's an impromptu comment, but it's not too bad.

The flower of society is also called flattery.

The truth of this world is to come to flattery without saying anything.

“Probably most of the nobles don’t even know I took over this place yet.”

” indeed??????

So if I'm sitting here, I'll naturally notice and pay attention.

There are also guys who have a will to study.

It might be an opportunity to teach them a lesson.

“That's it, so let's schedule it yourself.”

“All right.”

It's cumbersome to move it yourself, but it's clear that it will be of great value in the future.

‘Come to think of it, the reason why I dared to reach out was because of that.'

The reason why I dare to touch the education system in the kingdom.

The real reason not to tell outsiders. I gently remembered it.

Recently, the proportion of people living in Etelpaina has increased.

Well, I have no intention of abandoning Fahilia, and half of it is here. The other half of the fall and winter are spent there.

Yes, I'm having a really leisurely time.

“Ah~ it’s sweet.”

The taste of carbonated drink while admiring the scenery of the sea on a clear day is exceptional.

“yes?”

“huh. Sweet!”

And next to me, a child who is relaxing with a similar feeling to me.

Our mischievous Arna, who is now six years old.

These days, as if they want to imitate me, when I leisurely goof around, they come and lie down like this.

Of course, what Arna drinks is not Coke, but vegetable juice for babies. It's still too sweet.

Well, Arna also seems to like the summer scenery of Etelpaina, and it's worthwhile to build this place.

It's peaceful. Peaceful.

As I was enjoying my laziness with a double, I heard a sigh from nearby.

“Ugh… … Both of you are doing the same thing.”

“Mom!”

Pena spotted us and gave us a stunned look.

“Anyway, lately they're both the same.”

“yes! Just like Dad!”

“… … I hope it doesn't happen yet.”

it's still It's sad.

Don't worry. Blood is thicker than water.

yes?

“huh. I want to be a slacker like my dad!”

“omg!”

… … no this isn't it?

It's true that I'm a lazy person, but hearing this troublemaker directly from the mouth is strange.

Umm... … Should I pretend to be more diligent?

But it's still 10 years before Arna understands what I'm doing, right?

“ruler? Let's play here, Arna.

Lazy people get it.”

And in the meantime, Pena used a trick as if to make Arna play.

Pena flicked her finger as if asking Arna to see it, and Sele, the fire spirit, came out.

“government ordinance!”

Arna suddenly got up from the spot and ran towards Sele, as if she was immediately interested.

Sele waddles as if running away from such Arna, but is bound to be caught soon.

“Yes, yes, let’s play with Sele over there.”

“… … Wow, without hesitation, they sell spirits as bait for children.”

The effect is so good.

Animals are popular with a child like Arna, but real animals are dangerous.

No matter how well they are tamed, it is not very good to leave children and animals together.

Spirits, on the other hand, are different.

It's because they follow the order of the spirit sage.

Not to mention, Pena has a considerable advantage among the Elemental Spirits, so she can never disobey her orders.

Above all, if you leave it to the spirit, the spirit sergeant can check the child's condition in real time.

in short.

“Recently, Arna likes it.”

The spirit means that it is a good thing to take away children's attention.

Even more so, if the spirit sees the child, the parents can naturally save their stamina.

That's because the spirit can do the hard work.

“It’s the end of babysitting, that… …

“Whoops. how is it?”

“… … In a way, I don’t think Pena and you should be scheming and arguing with me.”

“What's up? Whoop whoop. It happened because Arna likes it.”

Rather, what about the suffering of the spirits? Can the spirit sage be like this?

Sele, who has already been captured, is sending a surrender sign while hugged by Arna.

3. 2. 1. End of round. Selene slumped.

Arna's victory.

“I won!”

“… … What were you trying to win? Rather than that, why is the hugging form strangely hard?”

“I learned it from Aunt Kania!”

“… … I guess I'll have to say something to Kania-nee later.”

what will be ok Because it's a spirit. Even if it looked like that, it was just fitting Arna.

It works better than that. Isn't that a number that can hit the jackpot?

Between children and spirits, he reflexively rolls his hair.

Dia came to see us about what was going on.

“Arel. Mr. Pena. Were you here?”

“Dia?”

“ah… … Is today the day?”

“aha… … Is that what you said a while ago?”

Pena also understood right away that he had already heard it a few days ago.

“Arna! Let’s stop playing and go.”

It seems a bit sad, but Arna runs straight ahead and stretches out her arms towards me.

“dad!”

“This is such a spoiled brat.”

I smiled lightly and picked Arna up, put her on the wooden horse, and headed in the direction Dia was guiding.

“But Dad? What are you doing?”

“ah? It's a simple test.”

It's still a little annoying for Arna to understand, so I'm just talking about it moderately.

What is an inspection?

A swordsman that every aristocratic family should do at least once at this age.

The time has come to check things like Arna's mana affinity and mana reserves.

“The kingdom of Ernesia also undergoes inspections at this time... … Are they similar?”

“Perhaps they are similar no matter which kingdom they go to?”

When a child from an aristocratic family reaches a certain age, their magical power and other qualities are tested.

“Well, personally, I don’t like it very much.”

“… … me too. A little bit like that.”

Pena also made a slightly blurry expression as if she didn't have a very good memory.

Did he remember what he did when he was younger? Come to think of it, since she realized the qualities of spiritism when she was young, she had a hard time because it didn't fit the Empire's policy, right?

“Apart from that, it is a necessary procedure for a noble child.”

Dia, who was instructing the land mage to prepare, spoke quietly as if she had heard our conversation.

I know.

“It doesn’t matter if you have normal talent. Even if you don’t have talent, it doesn’t matter too much… …

“But if it's dangerous, it's right for the child to know and set a policy at an early age.”

It has become customary to conduct tests at a young age not simply to identify and use talents, but for the safe growth of children.

“Basically, nobles inherited superior qualities.”

That's the problem. How
