It's been a while since the frontier city of Liberty Combe was established.

　Although there were more than twice as many documents as there were in the frontier cities, the amount of paperwork seems to have finally settled down, and it seems that the amount of documents circulating has decreased considerably.
　I guess it's just after the transition from a small frontier city to an outlying city that the paperwork was so difficult.

　I decided to establish a new department at the town hall.
　I decided to name it 'General Affairs Planning Division'.
　The department will be under the direct control of me, the lord, and Eldena Vibrina, the deputy lord, and will assist the three of us in our work.

　In a manner of speaking.
　For me it's Una and Aura.
　Yorme for Erdena.
　Farang for Biblina.

　We each have a secretary to assist us in our work.
　Even at the recent inauguration of Liberty Combe, a frontier city, the

　I'm doing the paperwork for the transition to Liberty Combe, a frontier city.
　Erdena is in the process of negotiating with surrounding cities.
　Biblina will meet with the security system and prepare the venue.

　I was so conspired up with those tasks that I could hardly do anything else.

　The General Affairs and Planning Division was set up as a department to follow up on the work of the Lords and Deputy Lords by having all of the staff support these tasks as a section and have them inspect the territory for me and report the results of their work.
　For the staff, I had a few aliens working in the Accounting Department and a couple of guards who also helped me out.
　The guards were mainly tasked with inspection duties.
　I'm hoping that the ants will be able to give me an immediate estimate of the maintenance and repair of the facility or the need for new construction if the inspection results in the need for new construction.

　Among the members who had been mediated as guards were Cornes, Chias, and Dodona, the three men who had recently accompanied me to Urinacombe as my escort.
'It's an honor to work with you like this,'
　Cornes said with a slightly nervous look on his face.
'It's nice to meet you too,'
　I said this with a smile and shook hands with everyone.

　Initially, I was thinking that I was going to give the head of this general affairs and planning section a chance to get Foldente.
You can join us as an employee, but he's usually out somewhere, so you can't be Chief.
　Then he chuckled as usual.
　
　As for the section chief, since there is no one suitable for the job for the time being, it has been decided that I will take over the role of section chief as a temporary measure.
　The number of staff members is still small, but I'm hoping to eventually welcome the former sub-human maids of the Greed family who are currently working at the Gehmose branch to this department.

◇ ◇ ◇.

　It was at that time that Kilistique arrived as a messenger from Ereborcombe.
　I had sent an invitation at the recent inauguration ceremony, but at that time I was absent from the ceremony, and only a congratulatory letter and a congratulatory gift should have been delivered.
　
　This kilistick.
　He has the appearance of a man, but is originally a woman, and his real name is Minisminck.
　In order to train as a lord, Minismink dares to pass as a man to prevent suitors from coming to him, but when the originally beautiful Minismink dressed as a man, his beauty was highlighted, and now it seems that he is receiving an incredible amount of marriage proposals from women.
''I'm really sorry for being rude during the memorial ceremony because there was a matter that I just couldn't refuse,''
　The minisminck entered the lord's room and bowed her head deeply as she said so.

　Now she was standing before me as a minisminck in a woman's dress, not as a male figure, a kiristic, but as a minisminck in a woman's dress.

'You came all the way down here to tell me that?　I knew what was going on in the letter, and you didn't have to go this far...
　When I told Minis Mink that in the midst of the chatter, she turned her gaze to me with a frown.
''Brother Safate it's true that I came to congratulate you once again, but I actually have one more request to make.

　According to Minnis Mink....
　While working as an assistant to the lord in Elevacombe and assisting him with his duties, he continues to receive matchmaking offers from women, and he has even been asked to marry the deputy lord's woman....
"Well to be honest, I'm not able to settle down and study my lord in Ereba Combe, so I'm wondering if you would be willing to let me work for Brother Safate in this frontier city of Liberty Combe.
But you're the Assistant Lord of Liberty Combe, are you sure you want to work there?
I've already got my father's permission. As a matter of fact, my father has already obtained permission for me to meet with him and sometimes he's the go-between for influential people in King's Landing, and it's getting to the point where he can't do his job these days.
　According to Minnis Mink, the reason why he was absent from the inauguration ceremony was because he was set up for an arranged marriage meeting with a nobleman from the royal capital as an intermediary for a dinner party, and he and his father, the lord, were unable to escape.
　Minnis Mink had also brought a letter of introduction from his father, the lord.
　The letter of introduction stated that he wanted Minnismink to allow her to study in the frontier city of Liberty Combe, as Minnismink had said.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that we have a formal letter of introduction, and that's just the way things are. And if you're a minismeinck, I'm a kindred spirit, so I'm very grateful.
　With that said, I decided to officially welcome Minis Mink as a staff member of the frontier city of Liberty Combe.

　Because working as a male Kiristic, his identity might be immediately exposed, I decided to have him work as a female mink dispatched from Ereba Combe and ask him to join the newly formed General Affairs and Planning Division, and I immediately asked the two deputy lords of Erdena and Vibrina to come over and introduce Kiristic and Mink to them and explain the situation.
''........That's why I'm thinking of having you join the General Affairs and Planning Section, which has just been established and is lacking in human resources. It's a department that assists the work of the lords and deputy lords, and I thought it would be a good learning experience for her.
　When I said that, Erdena and Biblina made a strangely complicated expression.
''........We have no objection to hiring you as an employee. We have a letter of introduction........
I can't help but feel that I'm a childhood friend of Safate's...
　Erdena and Biblina said that, somewhat crudely.
　In front of them, Mink has been smiling peacefully throughout.

　Afterwards, with my intercession, both Eldena and Vivaldi agreed to the Mink's case.

'Well, can you come over when you're ready?'
　When I say that, the mink
'Oh, I'm getting ready to go. I've got a carriage waiting outside with a load of luggage, so could you direct me to the room we'll be using?
　He said and smiled again.

　The preparation is so good that Biblina couldn't help but giggle.
You've prepared so well, what are you going to do if Safate rejects you?
'I had no doubt that brother Safate would listen to my request. He's always been a very kind man....even if he's super slow....
　At the end, Mink said something in a blur.
　I couldn't hear it well enough, but Erdena and Biblina seemed to hear it and nodded repeatedly.
　After that, I didn't feel like the three of them went into a one-color inspired state... what the hell...

　After that, they decided to let Mink use an empty room in the staff dormitory.
　Mink immediately brought his luggage into the designated room.
　I never thought I'd end up working with Mink like this....
　As I was thinking about that, Erdena was beside me.
...really, super dense...
　I thought I blurted something out...
What's the matter with you, insensitive?
Well, what are you talking about?
　Erdena was just dithering from start to finish in response to my questions.
