My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Ms. Claire and I would have separate roles

---

“Mr. Takumi should be the one responsible for managing the herb fields, as well as growing them. Of course, you will have to look over the field and the employees that are hired…”

“Yes, that is fine.”

Basically, I would be working behind the scenes.

Well, even if Leo wasn’t with me, it would be difficult to suddenly be expected to be able to negotiate with people.

I had some experience with that kind of work in my previous world, but things were different here, and there was so much that I didn’t know.

But Ms. Claire was the famous daughter of a duke, and knew much more about the industry.

So Sebastian’s suggestion made sense.

…It was a good thing that I had insisted the Ms. Claire would be a manager with me instead of an employee.

“As for the people to be hired, some will have to accompany Lady Claire. So we will have to hire people who we can help with the transportation. While Mr. Takumi, you will choose the people who will help you in the fields.”

“Yes… So my role is to deliver the herbs and medicine to other towns and villages. Aside from stores that our family owns, we will have to find other places that will buy from us.”

“Indeed. Perhaps we should consult Mr. Kalis about that.”

Mr. Kalis was currently in charge of one of their stores.

We didn’t have to worry about those places, but other stores would require some negotiating. And much would have to be discussed in terms of regular deliveries etcetera.

“Yes, I shall go to Ractos soon and speak with him.”

“Would there…be anyone that I could consult?”

While Ms. Claire could always consult Mr. Kalis and ask for advice on the selling of the herbs, what about me?

It would be nice if there was someone for me to rely on…

“Mr. Takumi… Well, it will have to be me and the butlers for now. After all, what you are trying to do is without precedent. And so I doubt there are many people who could give you good advice.”

“I suppose…”

Hmm… I really would have liked to have been able to rely on someone.

It wasn’t that Sebastian was useless or anything. If anything, I relied on him quite a lot.

However, I wanted to talk to someone who specialized in that field.

Well, apparently, Weed Cultivation was a rare ability. So it could not be helped.

As for unprecedented, I suppose he was talking about using the Gift for mass production…but it sounded like an exaggeration.

“Uhh, but since I am growing the herbs in large fields, surely there is someone I can talk to in regards to farming?”

“Yes, while I do have some knowledge on such things, I am no expert. However, there are people with such experience within that list that I gave you before. Of course, we will continue to be hiring other people. Perhaps you will find someone there…”

“I see. So my consultant has to be hired then.”

“While I’m sure you wouldn’t do such a thing, you cannot be too demanding, just because you are an employer.”

“Yes, I understand that very well.”

Superiors who asked too much from their subordinates… I experienced too much of that already.

I was a little anxious about hiring people, but at least I knew how not to be a terrible boss.

In a way, that previous experience should come in handy.

Well, it wasn’t exactly the same kind of situation, so I couldn’t be too sure. However, I would be careful so that I’m not the type of person they would hate.

“Mr. Takumi will surely be fine. After all, both Milina and Nick are very fond of him.”

“Indeed. I can see by the way he treats the servants as well. He will not force any impossible tasks onto them.”

“Haha…I will do my best.”

Milina seemed to take to me just because I said something obvious. As for Nick, he likes me because I was the only one to give him a job.

As for the servants, I was not really used to dealing with them. In spite of being the kind of person that found it difficult to say no to others, I didn’t like to ask other people for help.

“Mr. Ekenhart, aren’t you busy?”

“No, it is fine. While I do have some work, I feel sluggish if I don’t move around like this… Hah!”

“Ah…”

“See? You better move too, or you won’t get stronger, Mr. Takumi.”

“…Yes.”

“I will work hard too! So Rahle won’t be disappointed!”

After speaking with Sebastian and Ms. Claire, and eating lunch, it was time for sword training…
