After his errands in Drintru were over, Cain transitioned to his mansion in the royal capital.
　He sat in a chair in the empty office room and stretched out his back.
　After relaxing for a bit, Cain left the office and announced that he had returned to Coran and asked Sylvia how the White Fox sisters were doing.

''My sister Lula, she seems to have settled down and I think she can already do well as a maid. I think she has enough knowledge of the subject. The younger sister, Lola, is still an apprentice. She has been brought up to be an apprentice. Thanks to her education in the slave trade, I think she's decent for a long period of slavery.

　I listen to Sylvia's report as I drink the tea she has prepared for me.

'Can you invite me to talk to Lula once, please?'

　At Cain's words, Sylvia nodded and left the office to call Lula.
　Not long after, there was a knock on the door and Lula entered the office when Cain gave her permission.
　She seemed to be already learning her job as a maid, and she was dressed in a maid's uniform. She seemed to have already gotten used to walking and seemed to have no problem with it.
　Moreover, she had eaten, bathed, and her complexion had improved, which made her even more beautiful.

''Master, I heard you wanted to see me: ......

　He is waiting at the entrance to the office with an anxious look on his face.

'Yeah, I didn't tell you last time because I'm only new here, but I thought I'd continue what we talked about yesterday. For now, sit down.

　Cain urged Lula to sit on the couch in front of him.
　'Yesterday,' she heard, and Lula sat down face-to-face with Cain, a little fearful.

'As I think I told you in the carriage, I've been appraising the two of you. So I wanted to ask you something.

　Cain said, and once he did so, he stood up and pulled out a notebook from the desk drawer in his office. He then places it in front of Lula and encourages her to look inside.
　Fearfully, Lula opens the notebook that was placed in front of her. And when she looked inside, her eyes widened.

　Then, as she stares at Cain, tears begin to fall raggedly down her face.

'I knew it. I was hiding it under cover, but since the title said 'reincarnated', I thought it might be. That's why I was able to purchase the two of you. I also had the blessing of a divine beast, though.

　I showed Lula a summary of the internal politics that I will be conducting in Drintoll when I have time. Of course, it's written in Japanese (...) so that others can't read it, in order to make use of the knowledge from my previous life to conduct internal politics. The fact that she is reacting to something written in Japanese confirms that Lula's previous life before her reincarnation was Japanese.

'Master could possibly be ......'

　Cain nodded silently at Lula's question.
　Seeing Cain nodding, Lula sees more tears in her eyes.
　Lula then gets up from the couch, hugs Cain and begins to cry.
　Cain strokes Lula's head and talks to her.

'It was hard being a slave with the memories of the Japanese, wasn't it? You don't have to worry about that anymore. I'll take care of you and Lula from now on.

　Lula nodded repeatedly as she cried on Cain's chest.
　For what must have been a few minutes, the whole time Lula was crying, Cain was stroking Lula's head.


'I'm sorry, Master. I'm sorry for lending you my chest. ......'

　After Lula calmed down, she sat back down on the couch with a bright red face, embarrassed that she had cried on the child's chest.

''No matter. Can you tell me a story about Lula's previous life?　I'm governing a city called Drintle right now, and I'm short on personnel, and if I can make use of Lula's previous life, I'd like your help.

　At Cain's words, Lula's face tightened and she stared straight at Cain.

'In my previous life, I studied architecture in college, studying infrastructure and building design. I think I was hit by a jaywalking car when I was twenty years old and died. That's the extent of my memory. After my reincarnation, I was baptized when I was five years old, and that's when I regained my memories of my previous life. In the fox people, white foxes were persecuted as ancestors, and since I lost my parents early on, I lived with Laura, who was also born a white fox, all the time. I've learned a bit about architecture, so maybe I can help you out.

　Cain was surprised to learn that his past life was older than he was. Cain also told Lula about his past life. Since neither Coran nor Sylvia knew about this matter, I made sure to remind them that it was a secret.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has to build a school, an orphanage and many other things in Drintoll. I'm sure you'll be able to help me with the building system as an internal affairs officer, although my brother is acting as my deputy.　Of course, you can bring Laura with you if you want. And you don't have to call me master. Just Cain. And I think it's funny considering we're both Japanese in our previous lives.

　Cain told him, but Lula shook her face.

'I can't do that, not with the stones. We live in this world now. There are other people to face. Just let me talk about my past life for a bit when we are both together. Talk about cartoons and stuff like that. ......

　Cain nodded at Lula's words.
　He then proceeded to talk about Drintle and told Lula about his plans for the future.

'Then I can be of service to you. I will also tell Sylvia to go to Drintle this weekend as well.

'I'll talk to Sylvia about that. Once the school is up and running, I can send Laura there too. I'll look after her.

　Lula nodded at Cain's words.
　After the conversation was over, Lula left to help Sylvia.
　Coran came in to replace her and told her that he was taking both Lula and Laura to Drintle for the weekend.

'Master Cain, that's fine, but would you be comfortable leaving Lula in charge of the internal affairs?

　Corran was doubtful about leaving it up to Lula, partly because he didn't know about Lula's previous life.

'That's not a problem, I'll see to it. I can't wait to build the school and give Lula and the other orphans of Drintle a place to study.

''All right, if you say so, Master Cain, it should be fine. His Royal Highness Princess Telestia and Mistress Silk came to see me today, as I was absent from the school. They have left a letter for you to review.

　I received a letter from Coran and opened the sealed wax to read the contents. It was an invitation letter inviting you to a tea party at the castle tomorrow after the school day is over.

I'm going to go straight to the castle tomorrow after the academy is over. It was an invitation from Teres and Silk.

　Corran nodded at Cain's words.

'Well, Master Cain has been very busy lately, and I have had little opportunity to meet with your fiancé. I think it may be necessary to socialize with you when you have the time to do so. Oh, and I'm almost ready for dinner.

'Yes. I've got a few more things to think about, so call me when you're ready to eat. I'll be working here until then.

　Coran agreed, then bowed and left the office.
　Cain leaned back against the couch.

'I didn't know there were other Japanese people reincarnating ....... I wish the gods would have told me .......

　Cain made more additions to the notes he had shown Lula earlier about the future.
　With dinner ready, they headed to the dining room as Sylvia came to pick them up.
　Everyone was already seated and waiting. Lula and Laura were dressed in their maid outfits and helping Sylvia. Lola was ten years old, so she was still unfamiliar with her hands, but she seemed to be doing her best.
　After the meal was over, Cain holed himself up in his office and made a note of the future of Drintle.

''Yeah. That's about it. Now we need to discuss the rest, including brother Alec and Lula.''

　He tucked his scribbled notes away in his desk, yawned loudly once, then got dressed and went to bed and let go of his consciousness.
