Chapter 322
Chapter 322
'What ...... um, is it an 'accommodation' on this scale ......?'
'Haha, it's still surprising, isn't it? I didn't think at first that I could build this 'accommodation' myself."
I replied to Fara, who could not hide her surprise and bewilderment, with a smile.
Then, after a pause, she tilted her head.
'......? What do you mean?"
'No, actually, .......'
I begin to politely tell her what happened in the construction of the new house and lodgings.
After the meeting with Fara in Renalute, I went to her room and asked her 'what kind of mansion' she wanted to stay in.
Of course, I also asked the opinions of Asuna and Diana, who were in the same room.
At that time, Diana advised me that I should 'also listen to the opinions of the people who support the mansion in the Bardia family'.
I was convinced by her opinion, and as soon as I returned to the Bardia house, I actively took in the opinions of the maids, Garn the butler and everyone else who worked there.
As various opinions came up, I discovered that the problem was that a large number of maids were leaving the workforce due to marriage, childbirth and childcare.
I thought about what I could do to improve the working environment and came up with the idea of a day-care centre.
By employing new people who have experienced births and childcare and putting them in charge of the crèche, it would not only create new jobs, but also prevent the release of talented people.
Thus, the original proposal for the day-care centre was included in the new premises.
But at the time, I didn't think the original proposal would be accepted as it was.
By making an unreasonable request at the beginning, I was hoping to increase the budget of the new mansion as much as possible.......
However, when I presented the original proposal to my father, he passed it by surprise.
There were some minor design changes, though, such as the fact that the crèche that was originally planned to be built inside the villa was now built inside the dormitories from the perspective of visitors and security.
By the way, the day-care centre is open to anyone who works in the Bardia household.
Surprisingly, there have been many applications from maids with children as well as from members of the Order.
If this day-care centre's structure can be reviewed a little more and generalised, it may lead to the development of the territory.
When I had finished explaining the rough details, I smiled.
'So it's ......."
'I see that ...... Master Rid has great ideas. But I think it's wonderful that you've set up all these facilities for the people who serve you."
"It makes me happy to hear you say that."
Farah looks up at the mansion, initially surprised but now in admiration.
Suddenly, looking around, it seems that the dark elves who came with her also have a twinkle in their eyes.
Since it's a good opportunity, I should probably explain the facilities at the inn a bit more.
'Oh, and you know what? In addition to the nursery, the accommodation is also equipped with a hot spring, dining room, sauna, rooftop and exercise area, but please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see. I may not be able to accommodate everything, but I will try to meet your requests as best I can."
However, contrary to my expectations, the Dark Elves turned pale and shook their heads vigorously.
When I was pouting because I didn't understand their intentions, Farah began to giggle.
'Hmm, I can't say that I have any concerns about the 'lord' who has prepared such wonderful accommodation for us.
'He...... is that so?'
Looked at the dark elves, this time shaking their heads vigorously, while looking at the dark elves, while looking at her words.
I just spoke normally, but apparently I unintentionally intimidated them as a result.
'Of course. 'Hey, Asuna."
'It is as you say, Highness. I have never heard of such a mansion ...... or even accommodation being prepared for those who serve in it. We, for our part, cannot thank Master Rid enough. We will do our best to repay this favour by serving you."
When Asuna said this, she bowed towards me.
The dark elves also bowed to me as if in concert with her movement.
I had a puzzled look on my face at the unexpected event and desperately asked everyone to look up
'It's all right, there's no need to be so awe-struck. I'm glad that everyone was happy. I'll show you around the new house next.
"Yes, thank you."
Fara, who had been watching what I was saying and doing, nodded with a smile.
With the introduction of the accommodation finished, I started to move to show everyone the new house.
Well, it's just around the corner.
◇
When we arrive in front of the new mansion, Fara and Asuna are stunned.
So are the other Dark Elves.
...... something I saw just a few minutes ago.
'Well, this is the new mansion where we will be spending our time from now on.'
'Oh, ...... it's a big house.'
'...... I feel a little embarrassed that I was so surprised earlier at the accommodation.'
I approached Farah, who was rolling her eyes at something.
Then, after a short pause, she muttered a potpourri and Asuna shook her head a little.
By the way, the new mansion is near the accommodation, but it was hidden in the shadows, so everyone at the front of the accommodation didn't see it.
Of course, the new mansion is easily recognisable up close, but it is bigger than the inn.
In terms of scale, it is probably bigger than the main house where we live.
So I think it's understandable that you'd be surprised, but I think you're indeed too surprised.
To change the atmosphere, I cough out a 'gohon'.
'Well then, I'll show you around."
Yes.
As soon as I said that, I began to show and explain to Farah and the others, who were still unable to hide their surprise.
The new house is a three-storey building with a basement and a rooftop.
When we enter the new house, we are first greeted by a lobby with sofas and tables like those in a luxury hotel.
A large chandelier hangs from the ceiling, giving the interior a luxurious and elegant feel.
This is so that guests can rest during the short time it takes to show them around.
In addition, it is also meant to show off the wealth of the Bardia family and to intimidate them.
In diplomacy, it is also necessary not to be underestimated.
And, unfortunately, people tend to judge by appearances.
Therefore, the interior and exterior of the new mansion has been built with a great deal of consciousness for the future.
However, perhaps the effects of this have now become too apparent, as Fara, Asuna and the Dark Elves all seem to be gazing at the interior with a light of emotion and shock in their eyes.
Eventually, Fara lets out an exclamation as she is entranced.
'Wow ...... what a wonderful house, it's like another world.'
'Hmm, I'm glad you all like it. But it's not just about looks. There's a lot more to it than meets an eye".
Seeing how happy the girls looked, I smiled and continued talking.
