How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

- Episode 31 of Gaiden

When I gave the order to come in, Mileus came in hurriedly. First of all, as if he hadn't forgotten basic manners, he greeted me first and then asked the dwarves in disbelief.

“… … Why?”

“What do you mean?”

“I can not understand. Why did everyone decide to make a deal with Fahilia without hesitation?”

Perhaps he was simply questioning rather than disobeying the outcome.

The appeal elements must have been similar. If so, he would have thought that he would hesitate a little more.

However, the Dwarves chose our side without hesitation.

It wasn't even something to worry about.

Is that resentful?

“Certainly, what you proposed was also interesting.”

“Then why?”

“Rather than that… … hmm… … I had a rather pressing problem.”

“… … what do you mean?”

He gave me a puzzled look.

I quietly cleared my throat and joined the conversation.

“Well, the technique you proposed was quite good. I'm sure some of the dwarves were attracted to it.”

“… … But you all chose to make a deal with Ernesia-sama.”

“What are you looking for? Specific benefits and welfare are the problem.”

“Profit and welfare… is it?”

He opened his eyes wide as if he didn't understand.

“What does that have to do with… …

“Of course it matters. did you forget

What do you think caused this to happen in the first place?”

“… … So, aren't the dwarves unable to satisfy their technological needs with the existing Kelia system?”

“It is a matter of artisan spirit. A more fundamental and urgent problem than that.”

“… … It can be.”

he shut up Perhaps there is a corner to catch.

“It’s an environment where you can work satisfactorily.”

The Dwarves readily admitted it.

“hmm… … something like that Anyway, shouldn't we also eat and live?”

I can't say that I've been hooked on alcohol.

“That’s right.”

I shrugged and mentioned it again.

“In short, good technology is good, but what a great working environment it is.

Milleus McFaquell. Neither you nor the other guys talked about the treatment of dwarves.”

Is that all? It was blatantly exposed that they treated them as labor force.

After all, money and welfare.

So, while appealing to Pahilia's technical level, I sneakily suggested the possibility of what kind of good environment I could provide to the dwarves right away.

“Only… … Is that why? Even if you can explore more technologies by trading with us?”

“… … You are misunderstanding something.”

I calmly pointed out that fact.

“Only scholars live by their intellectual needs. No, even scholars starve to death without money.”

It sucks, but that's realistic logic.

“Above all, technology… … It's a bittersweet story from your point of view, but technology exists to use and make a living. If you just seek... … If there is no convenient place to use it, it will rot.”

can't object

maybe that's what i realized

“indeed… … That's it.”

did you admit it? You thought you'd struggle a bit more?

As if bitter, he muttered similar words several times before politely apologizing for being rude.

“Concerning the rudeness earlier, I ask for your generosity.”

“doesn't care. It's not that I don't understand.”

I'm not interested in it in the first place.

“surely… … I got it.

Please, I want to thank you for giving me that teaching.”

“I don't care about those details, so go back and look at your business. Aren't you busy?”

“of course.”

He spoke cheerfully, as if his face, which had been confused a moment ago, had quickly regained calm.

“Thank you, I realized. What is really needed?”

“hmm… … That's good.”

Did you really realize it?

I tried to talk to him again just in case, but he had already left the room.

“… … You are a strange person.”

Aah... he's a bit of a weird guy.”

What effect did the mistake a little while ago have on that guy?

“What a strange guy… …

… … Please don't forget my advice last time.

I sighed and resumed talking about the contract with the dwarves.

Anyway, with this, I got a lot of muscle craftsmen in my hands.

I'll have to think of a way to eat it in advance.

Great welfare comes with great labor.

I'll pamper you very much.

The Dwarves who accepted Arell Ernesia's offer were decided to be formally hired by Pahilia after going through several external procedures in the future.

There were about 250 Dwarves from the Dwarf Territory.

They will first become acquainted with the atmosphere of the workshop in Pahilia.

And when the adaptation is over, he will show off his skills for the development of the Kingdom of Pahilia and Ernesia in earnest.

“Don’t humans talk a lot among themselves?”

“don't mind?.”

Representative of the dwarves... … No, I have to say I'm a representative. I shook my hand lightly as I chatted with him moderately.

“At best, the results are unfair, so they whine while talking about monopolies.”

“… … Humans are very troublesome.”

“Is it only humans?”

He, too, was immersed in his work again with few words to see if he was stabbed.

Several other dwarves piled up a desk full of old books.

“Is this all?”

“All that remains is this. It's difficult to take it out, so I'm only showing it here.”

“I know.”

Today's topic is to discuss the dwarves' migration procedures, but there are also things I want to see.

‘The Dwarf of the beginning... …

A record of the pioneer who established the concept of today's dwarves and the things he left behind.

It seems that most of them have been lost, but from time to time it seems that some of his notes or records have survived.

“Even so, most of it is still full of things you don’t understand.”

“It's literally a dwarf's black box... …

“hmm?”

“No, no. I'll see you soon. Don't worry, I'll see you soon.”

“It doesn't matter. Rather... … Can you really decipher this?”

“You should see that too.”

maybe once Although it gave me hope.

‘I think it's possible, but.'

There is something I can guess about the origins of the dwarves.

There are suspicions that he may also be a reincarnated person. In the era when he was active, it seemed that such guys were in full swing.

There is nothing to reveal your identity again.

‘Then what about him? Because there's no way I can't do this... …

And if I can decipher this and give it to you even a little bit, it will play a part in gaining the trust of the dwarves.

With that in mind, I asked to see this material.

Of course, if you feed them blatantly, it will harm their autonomy, so you should make them roll their heads in moderation.

“hmm. hmm. Well, if I have time, I'll be able to do something.”

“Is that really?!”

“of course. huh? But I think this is less content than some of the materials I heard?”

I nodded and looked around, feeling a sense of incongruity. The content is somehow less than what I heard in the first place.

“You forgot?”

“No way… … I'll see you in a minute!”

He looks at it as if that couldn't be the case, but as expected, he widens his eyes when he sees that there is less data than he had grasped.

“… … Are you sure you lost it?”

“Hmm… … Apparently, there was a mistake in the amount of data you grasped.”

I can't say that I've lost it, but I'm coughing and look around anxiously.

“Tell me to look again.”

“… … If something doesn't come out, it doesn't matter.”

I answered coolly and looked at the rest.

lost data? Did they really miss it?

‘That's probably not it. At least it's that kid's work.'

I have a guess.

Milleus McFaquell.

‘In the first place, I went around more than necessary.'

He was evasive, but at a glance it was obvious that he had another purpose.

But now stay still.

Because you can still see it.

‘Should I just pretend I didn't see it?'

Above all, I have no intention of stepping on Mileus McFaculg beforehand.

If he doesn't go wrong, it might be an opportunity for him to develop independently without relying on people like me.

Watch if there is a possibility.

Because that's a guy with manners from ancient times.

I didn't do anything evil in the first place, so why would I hit you?

‘So please don't go wrong any more. bantling.'

Do not repeat the mistakes that have been proven throughout history so far.

Mileus is silently reflecting.

Admit mistakes.

“That must have been the blind spot.”

He had no particular resentment for making mistakes.

There is a certain degree of resentment. But that's a natural improvement.

It is true that some skills and skills fall behind in the first place. how can i not accept

After that, the heads of foreign countries who entrusted him with work exploded in anger and shouted something, but it's okay.

If you want to break the deal, just cut it.

It will be them who will regret it anyway.

“It can still be improved!”

I was behind because I didn't know.

Let's just admit it.

Arell said. If you only pursue technological advancement, no one will accept it.

Well, it doesn't matter if it's Arel's opinion or the opinion of the person behind him.

It is also a weak point.

“… … I will have no choice but to accept the criticism.”

rather cheerfully. With a face as if he had attained enlightenment, he opened the door to his workshop.

There, there are overflowing research products being reproduced based on the knowledge stole from the Caduceus.

Other than that, hints of the techniques obtained while going around each place. Or, there are overflowing studies on clues about the traces left by those who were reincarnated.

Normally, I'd look at that right away as soon as I get back.

I didn't even look at it right now.

The important thing is that I realized that it wasn't.

A new mindset is needed.

“Certainly Arele Ernesia. If you just pursue knowledge according to his word, you will not be accepted by the world.”

Admit it. don't admit it

so i was sure Doesn't it feel like you've attained enlightenment?

“then… …

He wanted new knowledge. However, we do not want simple technologies or new theories as we do now.

Clearly, there is a purpose.

“Then the world will need my skills.”

There is no law that the intention of the speaker and the understanding of the listener do not coincide.

“new… … You'll need a theory. okay… … It should be accepted more clearly. Otherwise, you won't be able to surpass it.”

For now, I have other goals in my hands.

Among the hints about his skills left by the beginning of the dwarves, he stole only a few of what he wanted.

“It is still not enough… … .

Originally, this was enough, but I will need more to achieve my new goal. Then next... …

He didn't even realize that he was completely mistaken.

To obtain more knowledge. To pursue a more advanced technology.

It burns only that desire. How

a former pro

sucks honey
