A messenger came again from Green Convoy.
　It was yesterday, but I suppose that's why Greencombe wants to move forward with the expansion of the stagecoach network as quickly as possible.
　
　The messenger, who met with me in the town hall reception room, greeted me and Vivalina, the deputy lord I was meeting with, and then immediately got down to business.
''As a matter of fact, there is a regular meeting tomorrow morning at Greencon with representatives of the remote small cities and settlements in the south at Greencon. I apologize for the short notice, but I was wondering if you would be willing to come to this meeting...
　I had to check all my plans for the end of the year before I came here, but I should be able to find some time tomorrow.
'Vivalina, I think I'd like to go out for a visit,'
　When I said that, Biblina nodded her head as she checked the material at hand.
I'm sure you can handle the guards tomorrow, so there's no problem.
　He said.
　Erdena was also scheduled to be present at this meeting.
　Originally, she was supposed to attend this meeting as well, but she suddenly had other commitments to attend, so she's going to a different department now.
　However, Erdena has also confirmed in advance that her schedule is open tomorrow, so I promised the messenger that I would go to the meeting tomorrow.
　The messenger thanked me and Vibrina repeatedly as he climbed into the carriage he'd gotten in and headed back to the green combe.
　Biblina saw the messenger's carriage off with me.
'Then I'll go to the Chief of the Guard, Googus, and arrange for the guard for tomorrow.
　After saying that, he smiled and waved his hand towards me and left quickly.

　I returned to the lord's office with that foot and decided to deal with the documents left on my desk for now.
　I knew that there were many documents that came back to me even when I was a frontier small city, but since becoming a frontier city, I feel that the amount of documents has increased in a circle.
　This is also what a lord should do, I told myself as I checked the contents of the documents.
　Just as I finished looking at the documents left on my desk, Wunya and Aura came into the room.
　They both acted as my secretary.
　First, Unya stepped forward.
Hey, little girl, I'm just going to send the completed paperwork back to the relevant department.
　Then he reached for the wooden box on my desk labeled 'processed'.

　On my desk, there were two small boxes on the entrance side.

　For one, the 'unprocessed'
　The other one is marked 'Processed'.

　The documents that come around to me are first put in an unprocessed wooden box.
　Of course, if I'm present when the document comes around, I pick it up on the spot.
　I take care of the documents in this unprocessed wooden box.
　When I finish processing them, I put them in the unprocessed crate, except for items that I want to give direct instructions to someone in a hurry.
　When I put the unprocessed documents in the box, my secretary, Una, will return them to the relevant department.

'Thank you for everything, Una,'
No, no, no, it's just another thing for a secretary to do.
　Unja said that with a smile and lifted the unprocessed wooden box with a flourish.
　It's a good thing that the contents of the box are quite packed and it's rather heavy, but Unja is able to hold it lightly.
Then I'll put it back here again when I'm done processing it.
　As he says this, Unja takes a step back.
　Then, as if to replace her, this time Aura steps forward.
　Aura is holding a pot of tea and a tray with a cup on top.
'My lord, would you like a cup of tea?'
　Aura approached me so with a slightly nervous look on her face.
　Aura, who has only been my secretary for a short time, still looks nervous when she brings me tea.
　Maybe she was a little traumatized by her fancy fall the first time she was here.
　I smiled at Aura and smiled at her.
Yes, please.
　I returned the words.
　Aura smiled and nodded, then moved to my side and poured a pot of tea on my desk.
　Meanwhile, Unya bowed and walked out of the room, holding the crate in her arms.
　I walked away from Unya and sipped the tea that Aura had made for me.
　I sipped the tea in my mouth for a bit.
My lord, do you have a moment?
　Biblina, who we had just parted ways with, walked into the lord's room.
''Oh, no problem. I was just catching my breath.''
　I said to Biblina.
Now that we're here, why don't you have a cup of tea, Biblina?
　I said those words.
　I turned my gaze to Aura, and she
Yes, sir. One more cup or so will be ready soon.
　He nodded as he said this.
'Mmm, shall we have some then?
　Biblina replied with a smile at me and Aura.
　As Aura went to get her cup of tea, Biblina handed me the papers.
'I'll let you know tomorrow's security arrangements are in place. The paper is, well, a reminder. That may change tomorrow, but just take a look at it.
　I nod to Biblina and look over the document.
　
　The guard of the carriage was to be taken care of by three people, Cornes of the bird race, Chias of the leopard race, and Dodona of the golem race.
　Dodona was also to be the carriage operator.
　Since my last visit to Urinacombe, I feel that these three have had more opportunities to serve as my bodyguards, but since the chief of the guard, Gugsu, went out of his way to arrange it, Gugsu must have that much faith in these three men.
　I've been working together with them in Urinacomb, and the fact that they know each other helps me not to have to worry about them.

　As I was looking over the paperwork, Aura came back into the room with an additional cup.
　Aura quickly brews a cup of tea from the pot and offers it to Biblina.
　Aura tried to place it on the desk of the reception set in the room, but Vibrina controlled it and asked her to place it on my desk.
　When Aura did as she was instructed and placed the cup of tea on my desk, Vibrina stood and sipped it.
''I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll have to leave you dressed like this.''
　As she said this, Biblina took a quick gulp of her tea.
'Not too hot ... but not too warm ... but not too wet ... hmm, aura, it was a good tea.
　Biblina said and smiled at Aura.
　Aura smiled happily at Vibrina's words.
Oh, thank you.
　He bowed deeply.

　In fact, I think Aura is getting better and better at making tea, and although she is not yet at the level of a wuña, she is under the tutelage of this wuña, and I am convinced that she is getting better at it.
　She is not yet at the level of a wuña, but she is under the tutelage of that wuña, and it is no wonder that she is getting better at it.

　Biblina thanked Aura for the tea
Then I'm going to the repair job site.
　As he said that, he left the room.
　
　I had told them that they could use the extra budget to handle the urgent matters.......but when will Sarah come back.......
　It's already been more than half a month since I attended the wedding reception of an acting lord of a certain frontier city instead of me, and I still haven't heard from him.
　I asked him to go and tell Foldente that I want him to come back as soon as possible, but he hasn't even come back to that Foldente.
　
　Sarah's lack of direction is beyond my imagination, so....

　With that in mind, I went through the security paperwork for tomorrow once more.
