"Welcome back, Mr. Ars. I have heard rumors of your exploits on the battlefield.

"I see. Well, it's a blessing that you made it back in one piece. I hope you can take it easy from now on.

"Hmmm, yes. But, Mr. Ars. You seem to have a lot of work to do. As soon as the knights of Barca were established, the main men left for war and those who stayed behind have had a hard time.

"Oh, I see. I saw when I came back that there were more merchants coming towards Vulcania and more people in Vulcania. I mean, how did they hold out? Even though I and my old man weren't there."

"I think it's really tough because the number of immigrants was increasing day by day. Besides, there are checks on the free market, merchant ratings, and so on."

"I have to thank my Graham family connections. I'll thank them later."

Yes, I think everyone will be pleased. But the hardest part was Kyle. Please make sure to praise him too, Mr. Ars.

"Kyle. He's got to stay here and do paperwork. I get it. I'll be sure to thank Kyle.

　Carlos called us up and we took our men to the battlefield with us.

　Of course, we could not leave the territory completely empty.

　But I can't have anything happen to me by taking with me men who can't fight properly.

　So the main members had mobilized and gone off to the battlefield.

　Then, the management of the territory would be done only by the remaining members.

　The main part of the work was done with the help of people related to the Graham family, but even so, there were far too few people for the number of jobs that needed to be done.

　In particular, the only people who are directly related to me are my mother, my eldest son Hector, and Kyle, but Kyle is the youngest and the only one who can write and calculate properly.

　In short, the responsibility of managing the estate fell on the shoulders of Kyle, who was still in the single digits in age as an agent.

　I really wonder if he will be okay.

　Kyle may be dying in his black job of running the estate.

　I went to my office as soon as I greeted Lilina on my return.

"Mr. Kyle, please check these documents."

"Automatic operation. ......Oh, there's a calculation error here, here and here, and also here. If you make a mistake here, in particular, the whole calculation will be greatly affected.

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

"Yes, sir."

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

"Mr. Kyle, please check this as well."

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

"Yeah, okay. Quick read. ...... I thought this merchant was supposed to be in trouble for something else before. Not good enough for this rating. Everything else is fine, so just fix that."

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

Yes, thank you.

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

"Mr. Kyle, thank you very much for your help."

"Yeah,...... that's my brother Ars. I thought you went to see Master Lilina."

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

"Yeah, I'm back, Kyle. I was talking to Lilina and she said you're having a hard time with the estate. I thought I'd come by and see how you're doing.

"I see. Well, can you give me a minute? Oh, yeah. I have some documents that need the signature of the head of the family.

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

"Oh, oh. Okay. Which one is it?"

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

"Here it is. I'll need all of this by the end of the day.

"...... this pile of papers?　Do I have to do this today?"

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

"I don't have a choice. You've been gone for a while. Nice to meet you, brother Ars."

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

　I entered the office and was surprised to see Kyle and the others working busily.

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

　It looked like a lot of work, but Kyle's dependability was not half bad at all.

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

　He is going through the documents one after another.

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

　I mean, I think he is doing his job much better than when I was there.

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

　I checked the stack of papers Kyle had given me and signed them.

"Thank you, Brother Ars."

"I'm tired. Why do you have so much work to do?"

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

"Why would I want to do that? Because you and the others have increased your territory with your success in the war. And that's why there's more work to be done.

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

"Well, I saw in the documents that you have already made land inspections in the newly added territories. I mean, Kyle. What the hell is that?"

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

"What's that?"

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

"No, you were reading papers and doing calculations at a very high speed. It's not unusual for you to grasp the contents of any document and calculate them in a flash.

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

"Oh, that. Actually, you know that spell you asked your brother Ars how to make? As you can imagine, I had a huge amount of paperwork to do every day, so I created a spell to make it a little easier for me, to increase the speed of reading and calculating.

"......What did you just say, Kyle?"

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

That's why I made magic. Speed reading and automatic arithmetic. How's that?　Isn't that great, Brother Ars?"

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

　...... Seriously?

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

　No, I've been hearing that word a lot at work, so I thought it might be a possibility.

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

　But I must have heard it wrong.

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

　Apparently, "speed-reading" means that you can understand the whole text of a document the moment you see it.

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

　It is also said that [automatic arithmetic] can produce correct calculation results in an instant.

　Magic is not something that can be easily created, since it was originally developed into a technique that can be activated by mumbling the key word "spell" through further training by a sorcerer who is skilled in the use of magic.

　In fact, even though we taught them how to do it, Baito and Vargas have not succeeded in creating magic to strengthen their bodies.

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

　And yet, Kyle, my younger brother, who is only eight years old, has succeeded in doing so.

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

　Oh, come on, Kyle.

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

　Are you a genius?

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

　You're too good!

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

　And so, Barca has a magic that I never expected.
