All right, boys!　As of today, I'm your employer!

　Einhorn is going to study abroad. In front of the eight people with deck brushes on that deck, Rion was shouting loudly.

　Luxion watched the scene from the shadows.

　It was Jirku who was unhappy with Rion.

''What kind of intentions do you have, such as hiring your highness!　Aren't you flirting with the idea of being an earl?

"Shut up, nigger!　The queen has instructed me to be strict with you. She says you can be treated with respect.

　When Leon showed Julius and the others the letter from the queen, Milene, Brad protested violently.

'Wait a minute!　We didn't hear this stuff. We were just told to study abroad and learn about the world.

　Leon snickered at such opinions.

'How are you guys going to make a living over there with no money?　Remember, we don't feed or pay people who don't work!　Come on, get on with it and start cleaning the deck!

　The five of them complain and begin to clean up.

　Marie, Kyle - and Kara had a look of relief on their faces.

'Yay. Now we won't have to worry about food tomorrow.'
Good for you, Master.
'Miss Marie, it looks like you'll be able to eat lunch every day from today.

　At Kara's happy voice, Rion hid her eyes with her left hand.

　For Rion, whose roots were kind, it was impossible for him not to feel sorry for Marie and the others who couldn't eat lunch.

　It was too lenient a treatment considering what Marie had done so far.

　One of Luxion's eyes goes to the five of them.

　Julius was annoyed and kept complaining.

'They made me work from morning to evening and the amount of money I get is two hundred dias. 'Are you kidding me?'

　Two hundred dias.

　If converted to yen, it's about twenty thousand yen.

"Master's a sweetheart.

'How is this allowed to happen?　What in the world can you do with two hundred deer? We can't treat it like this, we can't allow it.

　The fact that they could earn more money by taking on dungeons as adventurers also hindered Julius and the others from changing their minds.

''Shut up, High Nomads!　Get on with those useless values!

　Rion kicked Julius from behind as he complained.

　It was Jirku who approached Julius as he rolled on the deck.

'Your Highness!　Count Baldfalt, this is too much of a pity for His Highness!

　Ignoring Zirk's statement, Leon looks at the deck.

'You're just brushing against the same spot!　Are you guys going to clean it up properly?　When you're done here, the next step is to clean the ship. I'll have you clean the lavatories, too, so be prepared for that.

　Chris was biting his back teeth.

'Are you saying this kind of unfair treatment is acceptable?

　From Julius and the others' point of view, this kind of treatment seems unacceptable.

　However, Luxion confirms the terms and conditions of employment.

''Working hours from eight in the morning until five in the evening.

　Food, clothing and shelter are taken care of by Leon. They don't have to worry about food, a place to sleep, or even what to wear. Although money is paid out of the kingdom as a necessary expense, it is Leon who is taking care of the eight people.

　From Luxion's point of view, this treatment is unfair.

　He could have been harsher.

　Greg held up his deck brush and stood in front of Rion.

'Baltphalt, play fair. If we win, you'll get this unfair treatment again!

　Rion covered his face with his hands and was very sad.

'What are you guys really?　It's not funny if you're serious about it. Please, please tell me you're joking.

　Greg swung the deck brush around dexterously.

We're serious!

　The other four people also saw the deck brushes at the ready, and it was Marie, with her light gone out of her eyes.

　Mumbling.........

'Work that much. You don't have time on the ship anyway. You have to clean up, for God's sake. I'm asking you to work. You've got to earn your own pocket money.

　He was beginning to rattle and shake as he remembered something.

　Leon was shaking his head in front of the five men, deck brushes at the ready, and he was shaking his head.

'I hope you guys don't have dessert for lunch.

Why?

　To the dismayed Julius, Rion smiled helplessly.

'It's because you disobey your employer. You can resist more, you know. I can make you work an hour of overtime if you keep skipping work," he said. Or, starting tomorrow, I'll have a list of things you hate for breakfast.

　Chris releases his deck brush stance.

'It's not fair, Baldfalt!

'It's fine to be cowardly. But I guess I'm kind-hearted enough to have workers like you guys on my payroll.

　Luxion, who is watching from a distance from all of them, said about the five of them--.

''It's different from the life we've been living, and can't we adapt to it so easily?　I can't help it if we have different values. You don't understand the current situation correctly'

　-- a tough decision, but I have an idea why.

　Until now, even though they were abolished, they were still cheered by those around them because of their birth and appearance. They don't understand their situation, partly because Marie has been supporting them in their lives.

　Therefore, they think that they will be able to handle it in the future.

'When you think about it, Marie is just like the Master,'

　I made the decision that Marie is a useless man-making machine.

　At the same time, he thought he was very similar to Leon.

　While the five of them looked frustrated, Kyle grabbed his cleaning tools and headed elsewhere to clean.

'Master, I'll clean this one first.

Please. Kyle and Kara are the only ones I can count on.

　Cara, who was relied upon by Marie, was impressed by the glint in her eye.

'Yes, Lady Marie!'

　Luxion can't help but think.



　No matter how you think about it, these were faces that were enemies in the beginning.

　If Livia and Angel were there, but these eight faces were still unexpected to Luxion.

　While looking at Rion, who was monitoring the five of them, Luxion muttered.

''I hope it will be a fun study abroad experience, Master.''
