173 . New system



 Biblina starts working today as the new Deputy Lordship.

 I walked into the lord's office.
Oh, Safate. Morning.
 Biblina was sweeping inside the lord's office.
'Safate,' she said, 'I just wanted to make sure the lord's office was cleaned up so that he could start working comfortably.
 She said, and Biblina smiled.
 Upon closer inspection, the room left traces of what appeared to be freshly cleaned, from the windows to the desk tops to the glass of the bookcase.
''Vice principal, I should be able to do this,''
 Biblina was flapping her chest as she said that........no, I don't think that's the job of the Deputy Lords.......
 When I think of it that way.
"...Good morning, Second Vice Lord.
 While saying that, Eldena came into the lord's room.
 At her words, Biblina gave a drawn-out smile as she watched.
'Well, well, well, isn't this the same Vice-Lord, Eldena? From this day on, we are the same Vice Lord, Biblina, and it's a pleasure to meet you.
 He held out his right hand to Eldena as he said that.
 Eldena smiled back at Vibrina and smiled at her.
Well it's my pleasure, my second vice lord.
 While saying that, they clasped hands back.

 In front of me, the two of them are shaking hands harmoniously on the surface, but.......needless to say, the air in the lord's room has become very tense.......

 Once I brought them back to the Vice Lord's office, I sat down on a chair and sighed loudly.
''Little girl, it's one thing to go through and another to go through.
 Unja chuckled and offered me a cup of tea.
 I sipped it as I drank it down.
(I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of extra work...)
 That's what I was thinking.

 After taking care of the matters that had been passed around to us last night, I once again asked Eldena and Biblina to come to the lord's office.
 Erdena had Yome the Owl as her secretary.
 Biblina had Faran, one of the GDM squad, the Gelter Destroyed Maid Squad, who used to be an escort and maid under Gelter, as her secretary.

 I've been keeping Unya as my secretary, but I've decided to add Aura as my new secretary starting today.
 If Liberty is promoted to a frontier city, the number of trips to the royal capital will certainly increase, and the frequency of visitors is expected to increase as well.
 The other day, when we held a summer festival, there was an incessant stream of visitors, so our secretary, Unja, had to spend all her time answering them and had to ask the deputy lord, Erdena, to help her with other duties, so this is a personnel move to prepare for such a situation.
 Aura has been following Eldena while I've been in the capital for training, so she should be able to understand the workings of the town hall to some extent. I'm hoping that she will be able to help me while learning more about Unja from now on.

 I sat down at the conference table with Eldena and Biblina and we began to talk.
 We're going to discuss and decide again on the division of roles in the future.

 Up until now, I've been in charge of the overall administration of the city and Eldena has been assisting me, but I've decided to have Eldena and Vivaldi take on some of the tasks I've been taking on.

 First of all, Eldena is responsible for planning and organizing the festival, as well as managing and operating the regular magic ship.
 As for the summer festival, the summer festival was very popular, and we'd like to hold this kind of festival on a regular basis, so I'd like Eldena to be the main person in charge of planning and running it.
 Naturally, I'm planning to work with her on this matter, but at the last Autumn Festival, I was too busy with the visitors and ended up having to have Eldena take over most of the management of the festival in a hurry, so I've decided to leave Eldena in charge from the start so that she's ready to be flexible in the event that such a situation arises.
 As for the regular magic ship, there is a high possibility that I will be away from Liberty more often in the future, so from the beginning, Eldena will be in charge of it to prevent it from becoming a situation where it has to take over every time I am away.

 Next, I decided to have Vibrina take charge of the city's security.
 Until now, Biblina had been cooperating with the Liberty Guard unit led by Gugs as a friendly ambassador from the frontier city of Batcombe, but now that Biblina has officially become a deputy lord in Liberty, the Knights of Batcombe who had been stationed in Liberty will be sent back to Batcombe. This is expected to be the case. For this reason, I'm going to have Biblina work with the Googs from now on to maintain security within the city.
'That's the thing,'
 When I had spoken that much, Biblina raised her hand.
The knights who have been following her as a member of Batcombe have asked me to hire them to be part of the Liberty Guard along with her.

 It was a long time ago that Biblina and the knights under her command were sent to Liberty.
 At that time, it was a time when Batcombe was controlled by the anti-Gelter faction, but at that time, an underground labyrinth was opened here in Liberty. There was a system where you could get rare armor and battle ornaments as drop items in the maze, but when the knights of Batcombe heard about it, they asked Gelter to arrange for me to join the Liberty's underground maze. I was consulted by Gelter and I agreed to it, but Biblina and her knights were sent to keep an eye on the Knights of Batcombe so they wouldn't cause a disturbance in Liberty.
 Most of the knights still staying in Liberty are all those who have been following Biblina since this time, and they are very fond of her.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to find out what you're looking for.

 According to Biblina's story.
"I told them that my mistress had been made deputy lord, and I also said a few words of thanks to those in the Order, telling them that you should return to Batcombe...
 He says he doesn't want to leave his beloved Biblina, and that he is already used to life in Liberty and has established friendly relations with the guards led by Gugs, among other things, and that he wants to stay on.

 I've heard that some of them have had lovers while living here in Liberty for a long time.
 I also overheard a knight who tried to mess with the young elven mistress of the hot spring village and was shot by the young elven master with arrows....

 The cost of maintaining and operating the guards is partly due to the fact that if you become a frontier city, you will receive a significant amount of subsidy from the royal capital, I decided to take this story.
 I'm rather grateful to everyone who is already familiar with Liberty.

 In exchange for a large sum of money, they will have to take on the responsibility of guaranteeing the safety of the surrounding villages, so in that sense they are very grateful.

 
 When I was talking with Eldena and Vrina, I noticed that Aura was taking notes with her shoulders very straight.

 This is the only member of this group who will be involved in administrative work for the first time in earnest, so it's not hard to understand how she feels
'Aura, you don't have to be so nervous, we can all just work together.
 When I said that, Aura got a nervous look on her face.
Yes?
 I said out loud.
Well, you can leave Safate to her, can't you?
 Biblina laughed at that.
That's non-negotiable!
 I responded reflexively.
 Everyone was surprised at Aura's sudden and clear statement, but after a while, Aura herself finally seemed to realize what she said.
No, I mean...
 He sat back in his chair with his face red...

 This is how Liberty's new regime began, albeit with some slapstick.
