I would also pay him transportation fees
“It’s good that you’re enthusiastic, but don’t be reckless, alright? Ah, also…since the travel distance will be longer, and it will be hard for you…I’m going to give you a raise.”
“Huh? But you give more than enough already… Are you sure!?”
“Of course. You will be busier with more to do. I can’t pay you the sa amount. Well, we’ll figure out the amount later. As for transportation fees, just let know how much it will cost, and I will cover it.”
“Huh? Really?”
“It is a much longer journey, after all.”
He would also have to buy food… In Range village, he could stay at the new house, but he would still have to spend money on other things.
Though, it seed like such expenses were generally not covered in this world.
“In that case… How about this amount?”
Mr. Kalis then made a suggestion for the percentage that he would be paying Nick.
However…
“Since he will be here for fewer days, I think it should be more like this…”
“Well, if you insist, Mr. Takumi.”
“Yes, thank you.”
I increased the amount that I would pay so that it would be seventy-thirty.
“…It’s a little awkward to have this discussed right in front of .”
Keith had said sothing similar. I suppose Nick felt the sa.
“As for the precise amount for everything, we will discuss it later and tell you the results.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Keith would handle the rest.
“Alright, Nick. I want you to co with now.”
“Huh? Are you going sowhere, brother?”
“Yes. After this, we’re going to et the people I’m hiring to work in Range village. Of course, you’ll stay in Ractos, but it would be best for you to know them, right? The other servants will be there as well.”
Nick looked rather intimidating, so the people of Range village might be suspicious of him… No, that was going too far. However, it would be best for him to properly greet anyone he would have to work with.
“Also… How are things in the slums recently?”
“There are a lot of people who want to work… This is a little uncomfortable to say, but… You know how the duke’s daughter charged in there before?”
“Charged in… Well, I suppose she did.”
“Ever since then, so people have beco afraid. And they want to avoid doing any work that is related to the duke.”
“What about the roads then?”
“I heard the numbers have gone down… Well, I suppose it also ans less people who would work mischief.”
“Hmm…”
Fewer criminals was a good thing, but people wanting to avoid working for the duke was not.
If Tilura wanted to take so kind of action in the slums now, there would be less support from the people. Perhaps there might even be opposition.
Or maybe I was overthinking it.
“Nick. Could you spread the work…that the duke will not do anything to those who are peaceful… Let them know he has no intent of forcefully driving anyone out?”
“Yes! Understood! I don’t know if anyone will believe , but I’ll do my best to help you!”
Nick nodded happily.
In a way, he was my go-to person for dealing with people from the slums now. And I relied on him more than anyone.
“…Well, you’ll be helping Tilura more than . Ah, that’s right. When it cos to the slums, the duke’s second daughter, Lady Tilura… She will probably do sothing in the future. So please help her.”
“Tilura… Ah, yes. I’ve seen her at the house. Is everything alright?”
He was understandably concerned.
“I think so. She is surrounded by brilliant servants. And a bird monster called Rahle… A familiar equal to any fenrir.”
Sebastian would not allow Tilura to be put in danger, and would offer good support.
And Rahle would also protect her from any physical threats…
