Chapter 109 – Teacher Roxy

The breakfast was already prepared when I joined Shara in the dining room. Apparently, Aaron had breakfast with the others while waiting for me to wake up.

The dining room had been partially renovated with warm colored walls and tiles to better accentuate the warmth of the food. We thought to use marble tiles to invoke a sense of luxury, but refrained due to our limited amount of money. Most of the family wealth had gone towards reconstructing the territory after all.

Fortunately, there were a lot of high quality halite in the mountain near our territory that we could sell to other places as a source of ine. Also, we're trying to cultivate various spices in order to prepare more stable funding.

The cultivation method was based on the knowledge that Seto had acquired after travelling across the country. The land in the territory seemed to be suited for planting spices. Capsicum, pepper, and turmeric were said to be in high demand around the country, so we’d start out with those. Since there were no stable suppliers just yet, we can expect huge profits once our products hit the market. I remembered how Seto enthusiastically explained this to me.

Before I left the territory, I took my time to visit the plantation. The spices were growing well. If nothing went wrong, we'd be able to have our first harvest without a hitch. When that time came, Seto said that he'd be joining me at the capital to deliver the spices.

I could only hope for a good news now.

Once the agriculture sector was on track, we’d proceed to the industrial sector. It's but the first step, but we mustn't make any mistakes.

Roxy would teach us how to cultivate grapes. It'd take some time, but eventually we'd be able to develop our own winery there. It may not be on the same level as the Heart's family wine, but it's still worth trying.

Seeing me deep in thought while eating in silence, Shara chuckled.

[Fate-san must be really happy since you'll be meeting Roxy-sama today.]

[Uh….cough, cough, cough]

Involuntarily, the bread that was already inside my mouth got stuck in my throat.

[Thank you for the meal]

Shara put down the dishes as she had finished eating.

I also hurriedly finished my bread and soup.

[What will you do today? The usual?]

[Yes, it is. I'll be helping out on the orphanage.]

Even after being the maid of Barbatos family, Shara often visited the orphanage where she was raised. Although they weren't blood related, she still took care the other orphans like they were her own siblings.

Personally, I wanted to move these kids to Barbatos territory. But unfortunately, this current environment isn't suited for kids.

[In that case, I'll take you there. The security around the capital has bee better, but the same thing cannot be said with the slums.]

[Thank you very much]

I took my dishes and headed to the kitchen with Shara. After putting them into the sink, we washed them side by side.

The kitchen was very large, it's almost as wide as the house I used to live in back then in the slums. Of course, the sink was built as such that it could be used by five people at the same time.

This place was too wide, as I feared that even me, Aaron, Shara, and Mimir bined couldn't use the entirety of it.

Aaron laughed at me. At first it would indeed be like that, but as the family members and the number of servants increased, it'd eventually be difficult to fit everyone in.

I couldn't even imagine that at the moment, but Aaron said that it's something that I'd understand eventually.

After the dishes had been cleaned up, I headed back to my room to retrieve Greed.

[Sorry for the wait.]

『How long were you going to make me wait?』

[Don't be like that. Today we’ll be surveying the hobgoblin forest. I'll be able to fill up my stomach.]

『Is it Gluttony?』

[That's right. e on, Shara is waiting at the front door.]

My equipment was badly damaged from the battle against Rafal, but the crafter Jade Stratos who I met back at the Fortress city Babylon had repaired it for me. Since I had a personal contract with him, I was given priority regardless of the state of my equipment.
