So roads were safer than others
“I suppose the nobles are not aware of such places. Even in Ractos, there are slums that are less safe.”
“Indeed… It is the duty of the landlord to ensure that people can live in peace. However, there is a limit to how much you can do. And there are those who escape detection.”
A matter of safety. Even in Japan, it was difficult. So I could only imagine how it was like in a world where information did not move as quickly.
Besides, there were also monsters in this world…
“I traveled alone. Of course, sotis, I would travel with rchants as well, but… That was only temporary. I could travel without worrying too much on the duke’s lands, but it was rarely the case elsewhere. That is why I tried to stay here while traveling, as much as possible.”
“Well, my father has no control in other lands.”
“Here, soldiers patrol the area regularly, and deal with monsters and bandits. However, nobles with less…resources may not be able to maintain their own army.”
“Still, my father said that things have improved greatly compared to how they were in the past. Of course, there is still room for improvent…”
“Regardless, there are few monsters on the main road here. And for that, I am grateful.”
“Grateful… My father is rely doing his duty…”
“And so, when I heard that his daughter, Lady Claire, was going to start this new business, I thought that I could be of use. I was able to acquire this much knowledge and travel safely because of him, after all.”
“I see… Mr. Takumi?”
“Uh, I don’t know if I should answer this… Um, still. Why didn’t you apply before? Like Ms. Delia? Surely you would have heard about how we were hiring?”
It was not that I thought he was lying to us. I’m sure that he was very sincere about his gratitude.
Besides, Claire and Sebastian were very good at telling when soone was lying.
As for … I was not confident. But I felt that he was not the kind of person to do that.
“Well…at the ti, I did not really understand what was wanted. No, I still do not… Of course, it is not that I was suspicious. But when you are as old as , you do not act so boldly…”
“Hmm. Now that I think about it, there was no applicants that were as old as Mr. Peter.”
Sebastian had chosen the people from a list. I had just assud that he excluded people that he thought were too old.
Or perhaps only young people wanted the job.
“Sebastian. I know that I just left everything to you. But how did you spread the news about the recruitnt?”
“Well, this is not sothing to discuss publicly… However, I suppose Mr. Peter is not going to spread the news everywhere…”
“Sebastian seems to be enjoying this…”
After pondering it for a mont, Sebastian made up his mind and then cleared his throat loudly.
As Claire said, he was clearly enjoying this mont… He was now able to speak and be the center of attention.
I suppose it was what he did best…
