"Gran, please teach him well."

　I looked at Gran's back from a distance and mumbled a prayer.

　Right now, Gran is at the vocational training center we built in the southeastern district of Vulcania.

　Naturally, Gran is not the one being trained, but the one teaching.

　This vocational training center, which was built together with churches and schools, was supposed to teach manufacturing.

　There is a reason why we decided to build such a thing.

　It was to give jobs to those who had moved to Vulcania.

　Originally, this new town of Vulcania was built on the land I had cleared in the northern forest, and the only proper inhabitants were myself and a few of my family members.

　But after I took over the rule of the knights of Vulcania, the other inhabitants were allowed to live there as well.

　The inhabitants who came to live inside the fortress city of Vulcania were those who had lived in the village of Vulca and those who had fought alongside me in the neighboring villages and bore the family name of Vulca, but had no land of their own.

　They earned a good income as a result of my advice to make hardened bricks and cultivate magic mushrooms.

　And because more and more people had money, some merchants started to buy and live in the houses they built in Vulcania.

　However, it was the rest of the population that became a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, there were poor and illiterate people who did not have the family name of Barca, and therefore could not use magic, nor did they have a good amount of savings like the merchants.

　The reason why there are such people is simply because those who are in need of food have gathered in Vulcania.

　Once I fought a battle in the field against the Fontanas and won.

　Some of them came to me at once and joined me and gave me their magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were very lucky to have been able to agree to a truce without ever having to fight, even though they were given the surname Barca and could use magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The story seems to have gone down the wrong way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For some reason, it seems that the story has spread like an urban legend that if they go to Vulcania, they will be able to use magic themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, people who were in need of food in other towns and villages came to Vulcania with a gleam of hope in their eyes.

　But, however....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had no intention of giving them the family name of Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had an amicable agreement with the Fontana family, and I also had a debt to the church for giving the surname without their permission.

　Forgetting these facts, he could not act to give magic to a new human being at will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that would be "not what I heard" to the people who came here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could only be stunned that I had come all the way to a place so far away from home and had nothing to gain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Speaking only of my feelings, I don't give a d*mn about those people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they say that the story is different from what they had heard, I did not spread such a story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you find out that it is not true, please leave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is what I thought, but that is not what they wanted me to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people who came here originally were people who had nothing to eat, no land of their own, and could not find work in the city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When they found that they could not get magic, it was no reason for them to turn back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without magic, let's make a living here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that in mind, they began to settle down on their own outside the city walls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was impatient when I heard this report.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course you are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What will happen if we leave them to settle here on their own?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's scary to imagine, but a slum will surely be formed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no way I can allow the outside of the city I worked so hard to create to quickly become a slum.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something had to be done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I was hesitant to eliminate them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not that they are doing anything wrong now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I do not feel comfortable forcibly removing them by force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I do not want bad rumors to be spread about the newly established Barka Knight's Domain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to give those who tried to settle outside a simple job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was building with hardened bricks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since the problem of immigrants had started just when I was working on the outer walls, I had them help me to renovate the walls using hardened bricks magically made by those with the family name of Barca.

　He forced his brother Bite, Vargas, and others to do the work and gave them wages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He also gave them permission to live within the city walls if they performed the work diligently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of them listened to these conditions and worked diligently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to this, the renovation of the outer walls was completed without any problems, and over the winter, they were given help in building the castle, which was also completed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But here was the problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could not continue to work as a day laborer doing nothing but building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because there was no work to that extent here in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We need them to get a job while they still can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why we decided to build this vocational training center.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are many things we want them to learn how to make.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furniture making with wood from the forest reserve.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Charcoal making could still use a few more hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Saddles and stirrups for Valkyries also need makers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The items we want to see made are not limited to woodworking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I also wanted glassware.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Window glass has become so spellbinding that it is not necessary to make it by hand, but it would be nice to have a maker for glass plates, glasses, etc.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The stained glass in the castle of Barca has given Barca a good reputation for its glassware.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what I would like to see more than that is someone who can make glass lenses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of this is Grand's fault.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a very good maker, and he has made a number of things that I have asked him to make, which has been very helpful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Gran is the type of person who is passionate about making new and difficult things, and he had no intention of continuing to make what he had created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was a person with high development skills, but no production skills at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, this vocational training center wanted to increase the number of people who could make new products, even if they were inferior copies of Grand's creations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I watched the immigrants listening to Gran talk about his passion for manufacturing, I continued to pray that they would learn the skills and take root in this town without dropping out.
