Chapter 348: Things Begin to Move
“I have returned.”
“Brother!”
“Kyuu!”
When I arrived at the entrance of the Heine Frontier Count’s household, Rosalia and Mira rushed over. I managed to catch them with both arms outstretched. Rosalia has grown quite a bit, and it seems it will soon be difficult to catch her with just one hand.
“Did both of you behave and wait patiently?”
“Of course, we did.”
“Kyuu.”
We then headed to the salon to report to Mother that I had returned. Father and Brother seemed to have started their work and were not there at the moment.
“Don’t you think Julius might be feeling lonely?”
Mother’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. She was probably worried about Fabienne’s absence. And I’m sure Mother is also feeling lonely.
“That’s true, but we’ll meet again tomorrow. Mira, I’m counting on you.”
“Kyuu!”
“How nice. I also wanted to ride on Mira-chan’s back.”
“It’ll be just a little longer, I’m sure.”
Just because Fabienne returned to her family doesn’t mean my work is over. First, I need to head to the Heine Trading Company to check the stock and see how the employees are doing.
The number of customers has increased, and the stock of products is probably running out faster than before. I hope they’re not pushing themselves too hard.
“Welcome back, Julius-sama. Everything is ready for you to leave.”
“Alright, then let’s head to the trading company.”
This time, I took a carriage with Nero and headed out to the capital. Gyle and Christopher are probably training with the knight’s order at this hour. Now that the snow has melted, real training has likely begun.
Cain and Mika, my older brother and sister-in-law, had mentioned they wanted to join. Well, once they graduate from the academy, they’ll be able to do it every day whether they like it or not.
We arrived at the trading company. As usual, it was bustling with people. I wonder if the number of people will keep increasing.
Since Brother seems busy, I decided to postpone greetings. So, I headed to the workshop.
“Hello. Is there any trouble?”
“Ah, Julius-sama, hello. Everything is still fine for now, but I feel like the stock is decreasing faster than usual. At this pace, I think we’ll run out of stock by summer.”
“I see.”
Every year, the Heine Frontier Count’s territory gets busy during the summer. It’s famous as a resort. Additionally, the popularity of horse racing contributes to a synergistic effect, and every year more people come.
It would be bad to run out of stock before the peak season.
“I’ll consult with Brother. Make sure not to extend working hours under any circumstances.”
When I said that, the craftsmen smiled wryly. I’m glad I gave them a warning. They might have tried to do it.
The workshop’s working conditions seem good. The cooling and heating system has been installed, so the room should be the perfect temperature whether it’s winter or summer.
“By the way, I brought some low-grade stamina recovery potions as a gift. Drink them when you’re tired.”
“Thank you very much!”
The low-grade stamina recovery potions are quite popular here. I didn’t expect them to become this popular. This might even become the trading company’s flagship product.
The consumption of medicinal herbs will likely skyrocket. For that, we need to hurry up and build the greenhouse.
“Alex-niisan, I’ve checked the workshop.”
“Ah, Julius, you’ve returned. That’s a relief, thank you. I didn’t expect it to get this busy just from Daniella-sama’s absence.”
Brother was smiling wryly. It seems like he’s already feeling the pressure, even though it’s only been half a day. I wonder if things are pretty tight?
“Niisan, we might need to move up the plan to hire more people. The people in the workshop are also concerned about running out of stock.”
“I see. More people have been coming to the trading company, so I guess I’ll put up job postings.”
“Was that something Sister-in-law Daniella had prepared?”
“Yes.”
Alex-niisan answered with pride. As expected of my sister-in-law, it seems she had prepared for this situation.
He showed me the poster, and true to her style, it was written in elegant, graceful handwriting. There were also cute drawings. She’s more talented than I thought.
“With this, it looks like people will gather quickly.”
“I hope so.”
It seems Alex-niisan is also optimistic. There’s a confident smile on his face. It looks like the Heine Trading Company will be fine. Once summer arrives, sister-in-law Daniella will come back, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
“I want to hurry up with the construction of the greenhouse. It seems the low-grade stamina recovery potions are quite popular.”
“Did you notice that too, Julius? The low-grade stamina recovery potions on display are quite popular. I was thinking of asking for an increase in production.”
“In that case, we’ll need more medicinal herbs. We’ll have to expand the herb garden as well…”
It seems that just the greenhouse won’t be enough. I’ll need to consult with Mother about expanding the herb garden. Should I ask her for help? Though, it might be a bit much for her.
When I returned to the mansion, I immediately had the discussion. Of course, I was given permission. And since we’ll need that much, it was decided that we would hire a dedicated gardener.
“We decided to ask the current gardener’s son and relatives for help.”
“That’s a relief.”
At dinner, I reported to my brother. This should have eased some of his concerns. Father is probably also worried. He asked me a few questions, and I responded with nods.
“Starting tomorrow, we’ll be welcoming Fabienne. Julius, make sure to escort her properly. Don’t be rude.”
“Of course. Just because she’s my fiancée doesn’t mean I’ll slack off.”
“How nice. I also wanted to ride on Mira-chan’s back and go with you.”
“Three people might be too much, right? I’ll try asking if I can have Mira carry me during tea time.”
“Kyuu.”
Ad
It seems like it’s okay. I’ll gradually get her used to it, and in the end, I want Rosalia to be able to ride by herself. There will be times when Mira’s strength will be needed when I’m not around.
