by fnovelpiaFinally, I was able to rise to the position of head of a newly established department called the Black Death and Pregnancy Countermeasures Headquarters at the breeding company.
Oh, of course, I wasn’t doing any breeding work. Even now, after dealing with five people a day, I was preparing a method to counter the Black Death. As for the pregnancy countermeasures, I didn’t have to worry about it because I just had to tell them a simple method to find out if they were pregnant.
“Are the staffing levels still not sufficient today… .”
“Don’t be too disappointed.”
But there was a problem. Because this department was newly established, it was short on both budget and manpower.
‘Wellington, you little punk!’
The swearing comes up naturally. I also knew that since it was a feudal society, this territory was like a small country. That is why every year, the budget for each department is allocated and the personnel are supplemented.
That’s why we knew that our new department wouldn’t be given a generous budget and manpower.
But I still thought that they would allocate the budget and personnel to some extent within common sense. But… .
“Huh? Budget and personnel allocation for a new department? You have to make sense!”
“… … .”
During the meeting, Baron Wellington seemed to be going crazy and dismissed all of my requests for budget and staffing.
An even bigger problem is that Melania, who was watching the meeting from behind, seemed to agree with Wellington’s words.
“As the Baron said. There is no budget or manpower to organize a new department right now. However, I will provide some money for the budget. As for manpower… Bring in as many breeders as you want. For now, be satisfied with this and come back with results.”
It makes me even angrier because it’s not wrong, at least on a common people’s level.
“Erica, could you please call the breeders together?”
“Okay.”
I had no choice but to make a living with the small budget and useless breeders that Melania had given me.
“Excuse me, what should we do?”
“Heh… Heh… Just leave it to me.”
The breeders that Erica had brought in had just finished work, perhaps because they had dark circles under their eyes and their cheeks and stomachs were so thin that it wouldn’t have been strange if they collapsed at any moment.
All the other breeders except me are like this.
It seems like they’ve gathered together the beta mails with the strongest stamina, but it must not be easy to ejaculate 5 times a day without a day off.
I understood that something that was simple for me was difficult for the beta mailers.
I didn’t look down on them because they were like this. They are one of the few beta mails that don’t show hostility towards me. We should get along well.
“Alex… That kid, he used to beat us up whenever he had time. Alpha, thanks to you, I can sleep soundly these days… Hehe.”
The only flaw is that it is a bit lacking.
So now we have to achieve results with a small budget and useless manpower.
I held out a few bottles and spoke to the breeders.
“First, please come here and collect the women’s urine.”
As my first achievement, I need to show the performance of the pregnancy test I mentioned.
A pregnancy test with the essence of ancient Egypt.

Wellington’s daily pleasure was listening to the maid’s reports to Alpha.
Black Death and Pregnancy Response Center.
A newly established department in the Viken Territory with Alpha as its head.
Wellington has not allocated any budget or personnel to this department. All the department currently has is a small amount of money given to them personally by Melania and breeders summoned from another world.
Could this be the solution to the Black Death? No, before that, what about the solution to pregnancy? Of course, the solution to pregnancy was not to make women’s bellies bloated, but the discovery of the pregnancy test.
Still, the budget and manpower were woefully inadequate.
“That’s ridiculous.”
Pregnancy test? Even the testers who tasted women’s urine could only predict pregnancy with a rate of less than 30%. If we brought in a high-circle wizard to do some detection, we could definitely determine pregnancy, but there are no such high-circle wizards in this territory.
And it was a waste to spend that level of magic just to find out if you were pregnant.
“Yeah. What is he doing now?”
So there’s nothing Alpha can do now. They can’t even make a pregnancy test, let alone the Black Death.
In fact, he has been unable to do anything for the past few days.
“It collects urine from pregnant and non-pregnant women.”
“What? Puhahaha-!!”
Wellington smiled broadly. As expected.
Even the Alpha who was so arrogant eventually had no choice!! It was just a ridiculous measure to escape from the hardships of being a breeder!
“Ahahaha!! Is this the method you came up with to train appraisers? Phew. Okay. Just get out of here.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Wellington, who had sent the maid out, lifted his glass and looked out the window. The sun, which seemed as if it would remain in the sky forever, was setting and the time of the moon was approaching.
“Alex. I will avenge you.”
Wellington smiled wryly as he toasted Alex’s memory toward the window.
Wellington, who wanted to dance at the failure of Alpha, a person from another world, whom he had disliked from the moment he first saw her.

Regular meeting time.
“Okay. Then let’s start reporting from the alpha of our new department.”
Wellington finally pointed me out first and made me report, as if the time had come. His intentions were so transparent that you could see right through Wellington’s bones.
“You haven’t made any announcements for the past few days, so I hope that won’t be the case today, right? If so… Melania, what will you do?”
“I’ll have to kill him or be punished accordingly.”
Melania said without even thinking about it.
I have no say in what I say since I was the one who decided to risk my life in the first place, but still, you expect results without providing ample support in terms of budget and manpower!
“I heard that these days, they are collecting women’s urine.”
“Yes, that’s right. We were collecting women’s urine and conducting a pregnancy test using barley and wheat.”
“That’s right. Raising appraisers… Huh?”
But who am I? I am an alpha male.
I am the one who achieves results even with a non-existent budget and trashy manpower!
“Melania, can I show you what I prepared?”
“Allowed.”
“Erica! Come in!”
As I shouted loudly, Erica, who had been preparing outside, came in dragging ten bottles of yellow liquid, a tray containing wheat and barley seeds, and soil.
“This is women’s urine, wheat and barley? You can use this to determine pregnancy!!”
Wellington exclaimed in disbelief. Of course he would.
It may seem absurd and ridiculous to make a pregnancy test with an accuracy of 70-80% using wheat and barley. But it is really possible.
This method, discovered in ancient Egypt, was surprisingly excellent. Considering that modern pregnancy tests boast an accuracy of 95-98%, the accuracy of this method, discovered thousands of years ago, was nothing short of crazy.
“Let me tell you the results first. With these wheat and barley seeds, you can determine pregnancy with a 70-80% accuracy.”
Groan, groan.
There is a stir among the staff present at the meeting. In this world, the only ways to detect pregnancy are through tasting a woman’s urine, which is done by less than 30% of the examiners, and through the use of detecting magic by high-circle wizards.
The former method was too inaccurate and the latter method was virtually impossible.
But a pregnancy test with an accuracy of 70-80%…!
It is a well-known fact that women’s bellies do not appear until 15-16 weeks after pregnancy, or about 3-4 months, thanks to the magic of detection.
In other words, it was the same as saying that you wouldn’t know you were pregnant until then. It means that there are women who enter the mating room without any reason even though they are already pregnant!
But if you have this pregnancy test that I made, you can find out as early as two weeks after you’re pregnant. That means you don’t have to call pregnant women to the breeding room unnecessarily.
For practitioners, it will allow them to recoup wasted performance by putting pregnant women in the breeding room.
“I can’t believe it.-!! Melania. This is a lie! Barley and wheat. There’s no way you can detect pregnancy with something like this!”
‘I told you you can do it~’
It was funny to see Wellington, who denied reality, going crazy. Cross-validation had already been completed. It was confirmed that wheat and barley, which normally take 7 to 10 days to germinate, germinate in just 3 days when sprinkled with the urine of a pregnant woman.
On the other hand, wheat and barley that were sprinkled with urine from non-pregnant women also grew normally.
“You can find out if it’s true or not in just 3 days. Would you like to check it yourself, Melania? Wheat and barley that are sprinkled with the urine of a pregnant woman will germinate in 3 days, while those that are not sprinkled with urine will germinate normally. It doesn’t take that long.”
“You little punk!! Do you think I don’t know that you’re just trying to kill time!!”
“Stop! Let’s try it out like you said… But if this is a lie, you’d better give up on dying nicely.”
“Yes.”
Oh my, that’s scary.
“If that’s true… we should treat him accordingly. Wellington!”
“Yes! Yes!”
“If this is true, allocate budget and manpower to the Black Death and Pregnancy Countermeasures Headquarters.”
“… . Okay.”
Wellington clenches his fist, but there’s nothing he can do. He just nods.

A few days later.
“Alpha! Good news! We finally have new personnel joining us! With this, we can come up with a plan to deal with the Black Death!”
Erica walked down the hallway as if she was happy to see me finish my work as a crossbreeder. She looked so happy.
Well, it was fun for Erica.
“You don’t know how to write?”
The senior breeders who were summoned to another world before me don’t even know how to write, so I wonder what they’ve been doing all this time. The only thing they can do is physical labor!
If there is a problem, administrative work is essential, as is the case with any government department. And of course, the only people in our department who can write are me and Erica, who are in charge of that essential administrative work.
However, Erica, being a knight, seemed to not like administrative work, so she kept asking for an administrator. And finally, it seemed like a new person had arrived for us who had successfully created a pregnancy test.
“Hello. My name is Elisa Soryu, a new recruit to the Biken Territory.”
A woman with blue bun hair who greets politely as if she was prepared to enter the department of the Black Death and Pregnancy Countermeasures Headquarters.
Are you a noble since you have a last name? In this world, only nobles have last names. In principle, even those who were nobles cannot use last names.
So, there is a high probability that our new recruit who has just entered our sight will be a noble.
It’s probably out of the question to bow down to a female, but there’s no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
“I am Alpha, the head of this department. Please take care of me, young lady.”
“My name is Erica and I am a member of the Knights Templar and am currently on assignment here. Please take good care of me, Miss Elisa.”
“At…, really…both of them are commoners?”
what…?
“Heeeet-!! It’s unclean, it’s unclean! Get away from me by at least 2 meters right now! You might catch germs! Men, stay away from me by at least 5 meters! You might get pregnant!”
This, this… I guess Wellington has thrown a big sack at me again… ?
