Preparing for the First Departure
“What? Some territories have already responded?”
“Yes. We’ve received a reply from Galette County. They’ve also specified the exact number they’d like brought over.”
About a week after the Lumite Star Tiara arrived, Marquis Vardmoi summoned me.
It seemed that Young lady Conniette from Galette County had sent word.
As expected of Young lady Conniette—she made her decision immediately.
“How many are they requesting?”
“They want three for city security and about ten for development work.”
“That’s… less than I expected.”
“Galette County isn’t a particularly wealthy territory. They’re concerned about whether they can provide enough vegetables to feed the Kiblinki Saltas.”
I see, so that’s why they’re prioritizing development.
I wonder how the ones we sent there earlier are doing.
“So, when will we be departing?”
“I plan to leave within the week. Can you negotiate with the Kiblinki Saltas?”
“Understood. I’ll find suitable candidates.”
So, we’re choosing which ones will go to Young lady Conniette’s domain.
Since Galette County has some recognition, they might be more easily accepted.
In any case, I need to select the candidates.
I wonder who will volunteer.
(Hmm… The territory where our seniors went, huh? Is there anything unusual there?)
“Well, rather than something unusual, the climate is different, so the crops grown there are also different. It’s not the same as where you all used to live.”
(I see. That sounds interesting. Would it be a problem if many of us volunteered for development work, even if we aren’t needed for security?)
“Eh? I’d have to check on that…”
(Then please do. I’m interested in these different crops.)
Hmm, their interest is going in an unexpected direction.
Development has to be done in a structured way, so sending too many might not be ideal.
I should check with Marquis Vardmoi.
… Wait, am I doing middle management work now?
Is this what Alizée deals with all the time?
I should find a way to show her some appreciation.
What do you think about this chapter?
