All right, I'd better get back in the field. Quickly, or you're going to lose your precious lunch break, okay?
d*mn it!
Kamul spat and ran towards the coal mine.
'Huh. ....... I thought all adults were supposed to be just like their dad. In fact, they're just kids in adult clothing. If you spoil them a bit they complain, skip work, make excuses. We can't afford to let our guard down.
Anna let out a deep, stunned sigh.
She didn't look like a ten-year-old.
You've been working hard. Working as a foreman in the mines, repairing damage to the village from the last typhoon. And lately you've been running a tavern, haven't you?
So--.
Anna, the second daughter, was a skilled manager and motivator.
She was involved in countless businesses that doubled their profits through her involvement, and any disputes were quickly settled when she interceded.
Anna was also well-liked by her elders.
She was the master of the mines, the village chief and the tavern master. She was very good at tapping into the pockets of her elders.
Elsa had a different kind of promise.
I help out because the other side asks me to. The experience will help when I join the guild in the future.
'Anna's dream is to be a guildmaster, isn't it?
Elsa said she wanted to be an adventurer. He's never been anything but a good swordsman. I'm going to have to manage him.
Wow, I can do a lot more than just sword!
Yeah. So, do you keep track of your household expenses and stuff? Do you have any idea how much money you need to live on in a month?
............
Elsa's eyes were glazed over.
She seemed to have overheated.
Apparently, she's very bad with numbers.
There you go.
Anna smiled triumphantly.
'And I also want to support people who are adventurers like my dad. I thought the guild master position would be the best for me.
I knew .
To achieve her goal of becoming a guild master, Anna makes a dream notebook of what she'll do when she's __________.
She's setting goals year by year.
I'm sure her dream will come true.
Are Dad and Elsa coming home now?
Yeah. Bake an apple pie.
'Apple pie! Is that your dad's handiwork?
Of course. I'm gonna take my sweet time with it.
Great! I'm coming with you!
Is your job good?
There's nothing like a job to take precedence over daddy's apple pie.
Anna's face lit up and she wrapped her arms around me.
The adult-like nature of her earlier days is gone, and she is spoiling you to the hilt. ...... This is the kind of place where she is still an innocent, innocent child of ten years old.
