Chapter 10: chapter 10

 

When we reached the basement, Sebas opened one of the five doors with the key given to him by Father.

　Beyond the door was a room about 20 tatami mats in size, and in the middle of the room was a pile of coins.　

　Quite a lot of coins.

　The top of the pile of coins almost reached the ceiling, which was nearly three meters high.

"It''s money, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is money. These coins will be the salaries of our servants."

The salaries of sebas and others?

 why did  he bring me there?

　Oh, maybe it's .......

'I'm in charge of everyone's salary?'"

'That is correct, Master.'

　I've been assured.

Managing the servants means I have to manage the salaries as well. ......

Do ordinary people let a 2 year old kid do that much?

　I don't know what's normal in this world, but I don't think it's a job for a 2 year old.

"Do you want to give up your rights?""

　Sebas advised me as I was standing there again, stunned.

"I'll do it. I'll do my best."

　"Then let's move on."

　Sebas closed the lock on the room he was currently in and now opened the door at the far end.

　Inside the room was the same as the previous one, a 20-mat room with a pile of coins piled up.

　However, unlike the previous room, there was not one pile of coins, but two, one on each side.

"These coins are for Master Luke and Elina."

"'Coins for me and Elina?"

"Yes"

　That's a lot of coins.

　The coins on one side of the pile are as many as the coins in the previous room.

　The color of the coins in the pile is different, so the amount of money itself is probably different.

　Does it mean that this much money is needed to raise the lord's children?

'Then, Master Luke, what  will  you do?"

"What?"

What do you mean,  by "what  will  you do?"

　he don't explain, so I don't understand.

　I didn't understand and was about to ask back when I suddenly remembered what Sebas had said earlier.

'You will think, learn, and know from now on.'

　He may be saying this in a roundabout way.

　I might also be being tested.

　He may be testing me to see if I am the right person to be the next lord.

　It is natural to ask questions about what you don't know, but it is undesirable for a lord to not think things through.

Sebas probably dares to leave out the explanation.

Well, that's just my own guess.

　Either way, it's a little uncool to keep asking back.

　Let's assume that my guess is correct.

What would you like to do?  with  the indicate the coin in front of you.

"Since it is money, of course it has no other use than to be spent."

　In other words, 'How will you use these coins?'

And the fact that he took the trouble to lead me to this room with the key means that he has already  know how he is going to use it.

It is, of course, to pay for the support of Arche's child.

　Money doesn't come from nothing.

If bring Arche's child to the house, it means to pay for the upbringing of Arche's child yourself.

I know he has already given the money to the person who is taking care of Arche's child, but I can't ask him to pay it back now because of my selfishness.

　Well,  I certainly have to think about it before you make a move.

　I didn't think about that until I saw the child support payments for myself and Elina.

Now that we know what it's for, let's tell Sebas what I' m going to do with it.

"Sebas, let's take all the coins we have here to the room we were just in."

"All of them?"

　The poker-faced Sebas, who had never lost any of his facial expressions, was surprised.

　The fact that he is asking about the amount of coins to be moved, rather than denying it, suggests that I was right.

　The reason he is surprised is because it was more than he expected. Maybe.

Yeah, all of it."

...."

　Sebas and I spent about an hour moving the coins around.

　After that, Sebas gave me the keys to the two rooms, and I asked him to take the key to the room where my coins and Elina's coins had been placed and leave the other key and coins to Sebas.

　I thought he would refuse, but Sebas gladly accepted.

　It seemed that Sebas was originally in charge of this job, and he was willing to take it on if I asked him to.

I had never worked before, and managing the salary was still too much for me.

　I was relieved that he accepted the job.
