Helen’s words were absurd.

What is a road?

It is a concept similar to a network that connects villages and even cities, and is like the blood vessels of a nation.

Of course, it costs a lot of money to build roads. It is not for nothing that roads are considered a national project.

But you’re making that?

From the Holy Kingdom to here?

“Is the Holy Kingdom so overflowing with money that it’s almost rotting away?”

“Not that much. It doesn’t cost much since we’re only building new roads where the roads aren’t being maintained.”

“No matter what, it won’t be easy.”

According to Elsia, the western region of the empire itself is less developed than other regions.

Because there are a lot of monsters and, unlike other regions, there is no regional loser.

The reality in the West was that it was more important to worry about defense than building roads.

That’s why there are more small groups of peddlers like Catkit Sanghoe than large-scale merchants.

And the village of Lugeron is at the very tip of the western region.

Connecting a road from the Holy Kingdom to here? At least the cost would be equivalent to one unit of the national annual budget.

“The Holy Kingdom is amazing.”

“That’s also true, but most of the technicians in the Holy Kingdom are working for low wages.”

Camilla revealed the dark and unpleasant truth about the Holy Kingdom.

“This incident has further reduced Bonita’s sleep time.”

“The Holy Kingdom is disappointing. I didn’t know they would abuse their workers like this.”

“That’s not it.”

Seeing Camilla’s playfulness, I said it jokingly. Helen was so cute that I wanted to bite her while she was flustered.

“The people of our kingdom serve only for the future of our country with deep faith.”

“Wait a minute, isn’t that possible because she’s a nymph?”

Nymphs are a fraudulent race.

Aside from the disadvantage of not being able to engage in direct combat, they are a superior race in every way.

She is a natural at heart and boasts a goddess-level beauty.

You don’t even need to eat separately. They say that you can last for months just by drinking a sip of water.

So the three nymphs who live in our house are being exploited for almost no pay, and it seems that the Holy Kingdom exploits its nymphs in a similar way.

But, they are applying that method not only to nymphs but also to other races…

“The Holy Kingdom is truly an evil nation… ”

“Huh, that’s not true. The Holy Kingdom is… ”

Helen, who was sobbing at my prank, started a lecture on the Holy Kingdom for several hours to clear up the misunderstanding.

Of course, there was no change to the fact that the Holy Kingdom was an evil nation.

Are you okay, dwarf?

. . .

“I keep taking these three with me?”

When I was prevented from going to the Holy Kingdom.

The positions of Helia, Fores, and Ravi, who were dispatched from the Holy Kingdom for Ciel, became difficult.

From their perspective, it would be best to go back to the Holy Kingdom, but I couldn’t give up my hexagonal all-purpose babysitter, so I insisted on it with Helen.

“I said I wouldn’t go, but you guys broke your promise first, right?”

“Yes, I will do as you said. But does it have to be these kids?”

“Well, there’s no particular reason, but Ciel got used to these guys.”

While I was busy, three nymph friends, including Helia, took care of Ciel in my stead.

Naturally, they also had an attachment to Ciel.

If we break up now, wouldn’t Ciel be very sad?

“It’s an honor.”

“I will support you my whole life.”

Even though they could not return to the Holy Kingdom and had to remain in the village of Lugeron, the three nymphs were very happy.

Contrary to my expectations, they didn’t really want to return to the Holy Kingdom.

As expected, the Holy Kingdom…

“Cheet.”

“Helen?!”

As I watched Helen clicking her tongue, my suspicions gradually grew stronger.

“shi, Mr. Sian, that’s… ”

Perhaps embarrassed by the fact that his true feelings had come out, he blushed and started to panic.

You look so sloppy today.

Camilla, who was like her own daughter, explained the situation on behalf of the bewildered Helen.

“For a nymph, it is an honor to be the leader of a household. As a representative of the gods, they carry out the main text.”

“Really?”

“Yes, he would be even more honored if the family he was in charge of was a god’s family.”

“Oh, I see.”

So, for the nymphs, Bay City, where they take care of Ciel, is a dream job.

“Then, I guess it’s okay to use it as much as you want.”

“Do you have no conscience, sir?”

“Your conscience doesn’t fill your stomach. And Camilla, if you’re bored, help me move too.”

“Me?”

“Yeah, we need materials to build a house, so let’s go over there and take the kids and cut some trees.”

Camilla blinked at my request.

He didn’t seem to understand why he was being ordered to do something as simple as cutting down trees by a third-rank knight.

“Why? You don’t want to do it?”

“No. It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated like this.”

“It’s a shame it’s not the first time.”

Camilla answered with a faint smile, wondering if my joke was funny.

“Okay, I’ll just go over there and cut down some trees, right?”

“Okay, Tom will teach you the rest.”

“I’ll finish it quickly and come back.”

After saying that, Camilla headed into the forest with a few knights.

Since they are talented people who can freely use Aura, it would be a good idea to use this opportunity to heavily cut down black trees.

“Mr. Cyan.”

“Huh?”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Nothing in particular.”

It was a job that required a lot of manpower to rebuild a house, and a mansion at that, but there wasn’t really anything that required the help of the nymphs.

Among the nymphs in our house, only Fores, who can communicate with nature, is occasionally called out to work, but most of them take care of Ciel in the house built with their power.

“Oh, I see.”

“If you’re bored, take care of Ciel with the kids.”

“I want to do something more helpful to you.”

“There’s no need to go that far… .”

I was grateful to Helen for just saying that she would pave the road.

But if I insist on giving more here, I can’t help but feel burdened.

‘That’s why you’re like my mom.’

Helen, as if trying to take care of one more thing for her child, put her hand on her forehead and thought deeply, then clapped her hands and said.

“I forgot something.”

“What?”

“I will now give you the expedition reward that I promised.”

“You’ve already paid the amount.”

He received a significant amount of money as expedition reward.

So our accountant, Elsia, was busy organizing things right now.

What I’ve been thinking lately is that she has too much work to do.

Her growing fortune became too much for her to handle on her own.

He’s also my personal secretary… I’ll have to supplement the staff later when I get the chance.

​

“Not a reward, it’s a treasure.”

“Ah.”

One of the three promises.

He said he would give me the secret news of the Holy Kingdom.

“Clark said he’d pay you back twice as much, so you’re giving me more than two copies of the Holy Kingdom’s Secret Treasure?”

“That, that’s difficult for our kingdom as well. And wouldn’t it be burdensome for you, Lord Cyan, to have so many divine legacies?”

“If it’s dangerous, I don’t like it.”

“So, we have prepared a secret treasure that can be called the essence of the Tower of Wisdom in our Holy Kingdom.”

“What is that?”

“This is an created by appropriately utilizing the divine heritage and subspace magic.”

“Inventory?”

I was a little confused when a gaming term suddenly appeared.

As Helia said, it seems that there really are reincarnated people in this world just like me.

​

“Hoohoo, don’t be surprised. This little bracelet holds a lot of stuff, and it doesn’t even weigh anything.”

“How much does it cost?”

“Can store approximately 5 tons by weight.”

“It’s the same as the payload of a large truck, good… but why doesn’t your empire use the yard-pound system?”

“Yes?”

The most troublesome concept in the world was that of all units.

There have been more than one or two times when I suffered because of a unit that was completely different from my previous life.

What on earth is the criteria for creating an acre?

But the Holy Kingdom uses familiar words.

“As you know, there are several reincarnated people in the Holy Kingdom.”

“Like me?”

Helen answered my question by turning her head from side to side.

“Even if they have black hair, not all of them remember their past lives. There are only a few people, including the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom in our Holy Kingdom, who remember their past lives perfectly.”

“Really?”

I was excited at the thought of possibly meeting someone of the same age as me, but it seems it was a vain dream.

“And not all black-haired people are reincarnated like Sian. Those who intentionally revive or reincarnate using necromancy also have black-haired souls.”

“That’s amazing.”

According to Helen, just because someone has black hair doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a reincarnated person.

​

“Anyway, the secret treasure that the Tower of Wisdom owner put his heart and soul into making will surely satisfy you, Sian.”

“Hmm… Let me check.”

Leaving aside the detailed explanation, I put on the bracelet Helen had offered me.

​

Then a blue shade appeared before my eyes.
