Chapter 124: CH 124

I Thought Of What I Should Do With The Man

“Mr. Kalis. Do you have enough people working here?”

“Indeed… If we are going to start selling herbs like this, then perhaps we could use more help. Though, it depends on how they sell from here on… But, why do you ask, Mr. Takumi?”

“Well, I was wondering if this man could work here. He seems to be in desperate need of money.”

“That…”

If they were going to sell my herbs, then they might need some help.

However, Mr. Kalis did not seem like he wanted to hire someone who had caused such a scene right in front of his eyes.

After all…he had broken the table and made threats.

Well, what about this, then?

“What if he was hired by me? His job would be exclusively related to herbs.”

“You, Mr. Takumi?”

“What are you thinking, Mr. Takumi?”

“I don’t understand the meaning of doing things like that…?”

Not only Mr. Kalis, but Ms. Claire and Sebastian were also surprised by my words.

Well, this guy…had attacked me with a knife. Wanting to hire such a person was surely not normal.

“Sebastian, Mr. Kalis. When I make herbs, they will have to be delivered to this store, yes? And regularly.”

Sebastian and Mr. Kalis nodded.

I could just make a lot of herbs at once and deliver them, but Ms. Claire and the others would be so worried, and probably won’t let me do it.

There was the chance that I could faint again… Besides, I also wanted to make herbs for my training, so it was best not to push myself too far.

In that case, it was necessary to make smaller and regular deliveries.

“Obviously, it would be quite a hassle to deliver them here regularly.”

I doubted that I, Ms. Claire or Sebastian could deliver them each time.

I had my training, and Ms. Claire and Sebastian were busy with other duties.

We only came today, because it was the first day that they were being sold.

“In that case, I thought I could hire this man to pick up the herbs from the mansion and deliver them here. And I suppose he could do some chores around the store when not making deliveries…”

“I see… So you want to make this man deliver them… But do you really think that he will deliver them as you say?”

Mr. Kalis understood my intention, but still didn’t look convinced.

Indeed, while fear might insure that he didn’t go against us again, he still might try and run away.

I wasn’t exactly sure what to do about that… I had just said what was on my mind, and perhaps needed to think about it more.

“Hmm… Mr. Takumi. What will you do if this man escapes?”

“Well…I’m not quite sure…”

I admitted to Sebastian that I had not given it enough thought.

And he was only right to question me.

“I see… Well, perhaps I can make a suggestion?”

“What is it?”

“I am not completely against your plan, Mr. Takumi. After all, you will be able to keep a direct eye on him if he is working for you. However, he might still run away… And so you could use magic.”

“Magic?”

What was he going to do with magic?

Surely it wasn’t an attack… Though, I wasn’t really sure what you could do with magic in this world…

What kind of magic was Sebastian going to use?

“There is a spell that allows you to track people. If you use it, he will not be able to run away. It’s usually used on criminals.”

“It prevents them from running?”

“It doesn’t prevent them, but allows you to capture them easily if they do… I think this man was able to escape before the guards cast the spell on him.”

I see. So if we used this spell, even if he ran away with the herbs, it would be easy to find him again…

Though, that in itself was rather troublesome…

“Wuff. Wuff.”

“Hmm? What is it, Leo?”

As I thought about the magic that Sebastian told me about, Leo put her face close to mine.

“Wuff. Wuff. Grr!”

“I see. That just might work.”

“What did Leo say?”

“She said that we should cast the spell on the man, and leave the chasing to her.”

As Leo was faster than any horse, it would be easy for her to catch him as soon as he tried to run away.

“I see… In that case, I will make it so that Leo will be informed if he runs.”

“You can do that?”

“Yes. With this magic, you can make multiple people aware of the target’s whereabouts.”

In that case, Leo would be able to detect it immediately and catch him.

“…And what do you think about that?”

After I finished talking to Sebastian, I turned to the man who was sitting on the ground.

He would have been listening to the conversation. With this requirement of having the spell cast on him, I would be able to hire him.

If he accepted it…that is.

But if he wouldn’t repent and agree to it, then I would have no choice but to leave him to the guards or Sebastian.

“…Uh, what do you mean?”

“It means that I’m going to hire you. Don’t worry, while I did say that I’d put you to work, I do intend to pay you.”

“You’re going to hire someone like me?”

The man could not hide his surprise at this.

Indeed, it was quite abnormal to hire someone who had attacked you with a knife.

However, in spite of the fact that he had done something bad, I didn’t know if I’d be able to sleep well at night if he was executed immediately.

In this country, such insolence against the duke might be worthy of a harsh punishment, but I was born and raised in Japan.

I wanted him to have a chance of reform before something irreversible happened.

…That being said…I would have to ask if he had any other criminal record as well.

“It really depends on whether you want to reform and live a proper life. Also, we will cast the tracking spell on you. And should you try to run…”

“Wuff!”

“I-I won’t run! I promise!”
