Chapter 160 - To Work

"Women are so motivated, aren't they?"

"After Eira-jouchan received the magic of the Reed family, many women followed suit. Did you see this coming?"

"Well, I thought there might be a few, Maddock-san, but it seems to me that while the men are playing around, the women are on the verge of becoming independent."

"Fufufu. It is indeed difficult for a woman to live independently usually. However, their position in the family may become higher. It will be difficult for the men who are getting married or want to get married."

"Well, it's okay. I think it's not a bad environment for women to work in. I didn't think that Maddock-san would give up the surname. I was more surprised by that."

"I'm sorry. I am grateful to you for gifting me the name Barca. But I am getting too old for this. I am too old to go into battle again."

"I know, Maddock-san, and I'm grateful to you, but even if you don't go into battle, you will continue to work here, won't you?"

"Mmm. If you are the lord of this area, it is better to stay here and work than going to the battlefield. But still, there's too much paperwork! As a lumberjack, it was hard for me to even read the words!"

"I see... Kyle's [Speed Reading] means that you won't get tired from reading but it's still hard. I'm really grateful to you, whether it's from the point of view of the Barca family or the Reed family. I have no complaints if you continue to work for the Barca Knights' Domain even without going to battle when called."

"Thank you. I guess I'll just have to work my old bones out for this young lord, eh?"

"Don't push yourself too hard. You're getting old, you know?"

"Fufufu. Even though I'm old, I won't be defeated by the young people!"

After Kyle finished naming her, he went with Eira-neesan to help her run the newly established gambling house.

　Because of the naming, a female mage was born in Barcania.

　That was quite a novel incident, apparently.

　Until now, women had been forced to live a life of poverty, marrying dull men in rural areas and working in the fields while doing hard labor.

　They were in a position where they had no choice but to indulge in such a situation, unable to go out and wield weapons on the battlefield, but one day that suddenly changed.

　If they studied hard, they could receive magic, though not offensive magic, and even have a place where they could work.

　There were a number of women who would not sit still when shown such a story.

　Not all of them, of course.

　There were those who believed that women should support the family according to the traditional values that their parents and grandparents had passed down.

　But there were also women who were struggling to make their lives better on their own.

　When they heard about Eira-neesan's story, they went to school and started studying to learn letters and math.

　And when their efforts paid off and their academic abilities were at a reasonable level, they were able to truly receive magic from Kyle.

　It seems that Kyle made it fact that the school in Barcania had a policy of granting magic to those whose efforts were recognized.

　After that, women were able to get jobs at the gambling house, and then at the Barcanian racing area.

　By their own efforts, some of them began to succeed in making a living without the help of men at other jobs.

　Seeing this, more and more of them decided that they would be next to step forward and learn.

　On the other hand, there were those who tried to teach their own children instead of themselves.  1Author used a word that could be translated as "kill" but also "teach". xD

　'I'm too old to remember things, but if my child is still young, he/she can learn magic if he studies.' is what they thought.

　Moreover, there was a possibility of obtaining magic without risking one's life on the battlefield.

　A mother sends her child off to school with such passion that the father shrivels up in the corner.

　It was when the situation around me was changing like this that Maddock approached me.

　He asked to give up the Barca surname I had given him and wanted to receive magic from the Reed family.

　Maddock-san was originally a lumberjack from Barca Villiage and was also the eldest member of the village, as well as a person that I had been trading with for years for things such as logs to grow magic mushrooms.

　When I was cultivating the forest years back, he had let me know that the lumberjacks were becoming dissatisfied, and prevented any conflicts from occurring.

　Because of this, when Carlos entrusted me with the Barca Knights' territory, I asked Maddock-san to be a judge.

　I thought that an elder like him would be able to deal with any problems that might arise.

　This was not a mistake.

　As a judge, Maddock worked together with the other judges, village chiefs, to resolve any problems that arose.

　However, it seemed that this job was becoming more and more difficult.

　The reason for this was that the amount of paperwork was increasing.

　Up until then, whenever there was a problem, the village chief or an elderly person would listen to the opinions of both sides and mediate to make sure that both sides were satisfied.

　However, I had ordered the judge to transcribe some matters into writing so that they could become law.

　In addition, they had to deal with the problems of the merchants and rate them based on them.

　Every day, a certain amount of paperwork was needed to be transcribed.

　Maddock-san learned the letters from the other village chiefs and managed to create documents with words by forcing himself to memorize them with [Memory Preservation].

　However, he had reached his limit.

　That's when Kyle's magic of 【Speed Reading】 and 【Automatic Calculation】 came into play.

　After much deliberation, Maddock-san decided to abandon the Barca surname and take on the Reed surname.

　But the more I listened to him, the more I realized that he had decided to work for me.

　It wasn't that he didn't like me or didn't like his job.

　If that was the case, there was nothing for me to object to.

　I quickly got the money needed for the naming ceremony and Kyle, the I took Maddock to the church to perform it.

　In this way, a relationship that had existed until then gradually changed, and the season of sparkling white snow came to Barcania once again.
