Chapter 159 - A Brother and Sister-in-law

 

"I had my misgivings, but it seems to be going well, Eira-neesan."

"Of course, Ars-kun. We haven't had any trouble so far, so I think we'll be fine."

"All right. But if you have any problems, please call me or my elder brothers. Or even my dad, if it calls for it. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Thank you, but don't worry that much. We have our own people, so we'll be fine."

　A new gambling house in Barcania.

　That, a Valkyrie race track, several betting complexes, and the management of the surrounding accommodations.

　I was wondering who I should entrust them with.

　The easiest way to do this would be to ask one of the old man's acquaintances, a merchant who might be familiar with this kind of work.

　But I decided not to do that.

　This is a facility that has to do with the financial resources and security of the Barca Knights' Domain.

　I was afraid that if I left it in the hands of someone strange, something would go wrong.

　But then I had a problem deciding who to leave it to.

　Most of my acquaintances were villagers who could not read, write, or calculate numbers.

　Even if I had to choose one from among my trusted acquaintances, it would have been very difficult.

　The one who was chosen was Eira, who was married to my eldest brother, Hector.

　Eira was originally the daughter of the village chief of Barca.

　She was married to Hector-niisan before I became a Barca Knight.

　The reason she married him was largely due to the influence of her father, the chief of Barca village.

　When I was still a small child, he wanted the forest land that I had cultivated, and in order to eventually acquire it legally, he married his daughter, Eira, to my elder brother Hector.

　However, thanks to the fact that I had a fight with the Fontana family soon afterward, the goal was shattered.

　Still, despite the village chief's intentions, it does not mean that Hector-niisan and Eira-neesan were not on good terms.

　Rather, they were living in a very good and harmonious family.

　It's not that they are not good friends, but more so that they have a very good and happy family.

Hector-niisan was not so keen on going to the battlefield like Baito-nii and I. He was a man who wanted to live a leisurely life cultivating farmland.

　In contrast, Eira-neesan is a little different.

　First of all, the chief of Barca village had only one child, Eira, and she had been educated from a young age so that she and her husband would eventually work together to develop the village.

　As a result, Eira can read, write, and calculate numbers.

　However, there was something else she wanted to do.

　She had a somewhat girlish dream of going to the city, getting married, and living a lavish life.

　Of course, this dream would never come true because she was already destined to marry the next village chief.

　She could only hope it would come true.

　However, that situation has changed.

　The younger brother of the man she was marrying became a knight and was put in charge of a territory, and even married a real ojou-sama1Young Lady of a family with high-standingwho was related to a nobleman.

　Moreover, they came to live in the same land.

　Eira must have felt that her dream had suddenly become a reality.

　After I built Barcan Castle, she went to the castle frequently and tried to communicate with Lilina and Clarisse.

Eira was smart in the fact that she didn't just want to live a rich life.

　In other words, she wanted to improve herself.

That's why she started a kind of apprenticeship with Clarisse at the castle.

Eira said that Clarisse had taught her how to behave so that she wouldn't embarrass herself in front of an important person.

　I was surprised when I came back from Fort Einrad and saw Eira again after a long time.

　In the past, she had seemed like a country girl, but now her movements were less cumbersome and she was able to behave with a certain amount of care and elegance.

　The fact that she changed so much in less than a year must have taken a lot of effort.

    Why was Eira-neesan chosen to be the manager of the gambling house?

　The reason is that the gambling house was designed to be a clean place that attracts people from other countries.

　Initially, I was thinking of entrusting my sister-in-law with the accommodation of a slightly more luxurious style, but in any case, I selected her to be a kind of manager for the entire Northwest District.

　She hopes to be like Clarisse, who is working for Lilina at the castle, and raise the level of customer service in the entire Northwest District.

"But is this really a good thing, Ars-kun? I'm a woman and I've been given magic, you know."

"Isn't it good? Eira-neesan can read, write, and calculate, so if she can use Kyle's magic, she'll be able to get even more done. I don't think it's an inconvenience to have it."

"Yes, of course. Kyle-kun's magic is very helpful. But I don't think nobles usually give magic to women."

"I heard that. But we are short of talents. I don't think there's any point in being so obsessed with gender like others."

"Yes... If that's the case with you, then it'll be strange to oppose it a lot. Rest assured, Ars-kun, I'm going to do my best to make this area more exciting!"

"I'm sure I'll be happy with the results. But if you really need anything, just let me know."

　Eira-neesan was worried that she, a woman, was given magic.

　Well, that'd usually be the case.

　In the customs of this world, magic is basically the result of a man's work and success on the battlefield.

　As a rule, women are not given magic.

　And yet, even though it's not offensive magic, Eira-nee may be wondering if it's okay for her to be given magic.

　But just because it's not common, it doesn't mean that it's forbidden for women to receive magic.

　Rather, I would like to see women and men alike, if they have the ability and motivation, use their power to work for the good of the territory.

　And it's not like the church refused to perform the ceremony when Eira-neesan was named by Kyle.

　So I can probably interpret that the church has no qualms or concerns about genders.

　In this way, the first female wizard was born in the Barca Knights' Domain.
