“Huhhh~ You want to bring back the guys who used to be under me?”
Kaneff asked back with his signature languid look.
Andras answered with a nod.
“Sihyeon has been under a lot of pressure lately because he’s been taking care of Lord’s work along with the farm work. We can help him with the farm work, so,  we need someone who can help him with the estate work.”
“I know that
”
Kaneff scratched his head, blurring his words.
“Why don’t you ask Castle for help?”
“I thought about it first and asked for help
 but I don’t think it’s going to be easy.”
“Why?”
“That’s
”
Andras continued his stuttering explanation, looking at me.
“It’s a new estate, and most of the included areas are slow to develop
”
Kaneff asked directly, interrupting the words that sounded like excuses..
“To put it simply, they think this estate hopeless, so no one’s willing to come?”
“

Yes. Instead, Demon Lord Castle promised to provide additional financial support,”
Andras replied a little bit bitterly.
Well
 even if I were a job seeker, I wouldn’t want to get a job on this estate.
From the lord who’s a novice, to the piled-up problems to be solved in the territory, anyone would think it’s hopeless.
The moment I got a job here, it was obvious that I had to endure intense labor.
Andras deliberately opened his mouth again, brightening his voice, as if to reverse the slightly subdued atmosphere.
“Didn’t a lot of people with outstanding abilities follow Mr. Kaneff when you were the leader of the Black Hawk unit?”
“Is that so? I think everyone, including you, was nothing but troublemakers.”
“What do you mean by troublemaker Mr. Kaneff? When did I ever give you trouble?”
“When did you give trouble
 In your first battle you
.”
“Arghhhhh! Why are you bringing that now Mr. Kaneff?”
“Hahahaha.”
At the word ‘first battle’, Andras screamed and stopped the story.
Kaneff giggled looking at the embarrassed Andras.
I was curious because an interesting episode seemed to be hidden, but I couldn’t hear the details because Andras desperately changed the topic.
“Everyone may have seemed insufficient to Mr. Kaneff, but the Black Hawks were amazing at that time. That’s why even today the word “the strongest” follows whenever someone speaks about the Black Hawk unit.”
“Hmmm
”
Kaneff’s eyes briefly had a sentimental feeling in them.
It seemed to have reminded him of the past when he was with the members of the Black Hawk unit.
But the feeling soon became overshadowed by a languid and troublesome look.
“But how are you going to get them? I haven’t heard from them since we all split up. I have no idea where or what they’re doing right now.”
“That’s fine. There are people Ryan has been in touch with until recently.”
Kaneff looked surprised at hearing the information.
“Was Ryan doing such a thing?”
“Yes. He lost contact with most, but he said he was still in touch with some people from time to time. One word from Mr. Kaneff and they’ll be there in a minute.”
“Hmmm
”
Kaneff was lost in thought for a moment.
Then, after a while, he opened his mouth again looking at us, who had been anxiously waiting.
“What are you going to do for me, if I call them?”
“What?”
“You have to give something to have something! You’re not asking me to do it for free, right?”
Andras looked very flustered as if he had never expected this kind of reaction from Kaneff.
Realizing it was my turn now, I stepped forward in front of the flustered Andras.
“Boss, you want something, right? Get straight to the point, I’ll do it no matter how complicated it is.”
“Hahaha! I love that attitude. I like it.”
Kaneff laughed loudly saying he liked my attitude and began to talk about his needs.
“What I want is simple.”
“

?”
“Build a Honey Beer Brewery!”
“

”
“Ha
 you’re still saying that.”
Andras and I looked at Kaneff with a pathetic look.
He raised his voice in a fit of rage.
“What do you mean ‘still’? Honey beer is so important. You guys too enjoyed it, right!?”
“Honey beer is definitely delicious.”
“It is nonsense to stand still while being able to make such a delicious beer. It’s like abandoning your work ethic!”
Suddenly something snapped when I heard Kaneff, who sits idly all day without doing any work talking about work ethics.
“I’ll think seriously about building a brewery.”
“You can’t just think about it. Promise me right now that you’ll build it.”
“I promise.”
“Promise on Speranza.”
“I don’t like using my daughter for the promise. Instead, I will keep my promise to avoid being a bad role model for Speranza.”
Kaneff smiled and nodded with satisfaction hearing my words.Ever since I made my commitment to work as Lord Cardis,  I was working non-stop on the problems of the estate.
First, the two villages that were damaged by the Selberg family were quickly supported.
We provided sufficient food and daily necessities and sent agricultural equipment necessary for farming.
It was hard to say that the fundamental problem has been solved, but the dissatisfaction of the villagers has subsided to some extent.
The security problem in the Elden village, which was caused by the influx of outsiders, was overcome for now by the selection of additional vigilantes and the employment of mercenaries.
In particular, by preventing the illegal activities and homelessness of outsiders, the anxiety of the villagers was reduced.
In the process of solving the problem, it cost a lot of money, and the extra funds I had, quickly decreased.
Right now, we can’t even think of clearing forests and building basic facilities in the village.
Won’t I end up going bankrupt in less than a year if it goes on like this?
I was worried.
Thankfully, the Demon Lord Castle gave me some financial support, so, for now, I could breathe a little.
“Phew
”
“Sihyeon, what’s wrong?”
When I sighed deeply thinking about the Estate, Lagos, who was checking the documents next to me, asked anxiously.
I could feel his sincere concern on his face, so I replied with a smile.
“Oh, no. I just sighed thinking that maintaining an Estate isn’t easy. I’m also worried if I’m doing everything correctly.”
“Is that so?”
Lagos smiled pitifully as if he sympathized with me.
He was struggling as hard as I was.
When we were sympathizing with each other’s hardships, I heard someone smacking their lips from the side.
“Tsk tsk
 If you youngsters had time to whine, how about cutting some slack for this old fellow.”
Lagos frowned slightly at the remarks of Raccoon grandpa.
“Elder Raccoon, the Lord is here. Please mind what you’re saying
”
“What if you’re a Lord or Village Chief? Is it okay to bring such an old man and make him work without giving him rest?”
He complained, displaying papers piled up in front of him.
I soothed Raccoon grandpa with an apologetic look.
“I’m sorry, grandpa. There’s no one in the village who’s good at reading and calculating
 Please help me a little more until I find someone.”
“Huh.”
Raccoon grandpa couldn’t complain anymore and let out a groan.
He was naturally annoyed because he was brought in and forced to work.
But I had no other choice.
The only people in the village who can help with the work are Lagos and Raccoon grandpa

– Tatatatat!
As I felt sorry for Raccoon grandpa, a cat girl appeared with cheerful footsteps.
“Don’t be annoyed, grandpa, eat this.”
Miru skillfully handed the snacks and drinks on the tray to Raccoon grandpa.
“Hehe! Enjoy your meal!”
“Um. Thank you.”
Looking at the bright smile, Raccoon grandpa couldn’t stay grumpy.
Miru immediately brought snacks and drinks to me and Lagos.
“Here you go.”
“Thank you.”
‘Thank you, Miru.’
“Hehe!”
I put down my pen and pat Miru on the head.
The cat girl’s pleasant smile made me feel like my head was clearing up.
While I was taking a short break eating the snacks, Miru stood close to me and looked at the documents on the table.
I asked, wondering why she was looking at the documents so seriously.
“Miru? What are you looking at so hard?”
“This paper that Cand Uncle is looking at. These are the things you need to govern Uncle’s territory, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Um
 There’s still a lot of things I can’t understand, but I think I’ll understand it completely if I do a little more.”
“Really? You must have studied very hard.”
I thought she was saying it just for compliments, so, I praised Miru with admiration.
Normally, she would have been very happy, but this time, she mumbled without releasing the serious expression on her face.
“I still have a long way to go. I have to work harder.”
“Huh?”
I got flustered at her unexpected reaction.
Raccoon grandpa who saw it said with a smile.
“Hahaha! I told her that there was no one in the village who could help you with your work. So, she’s studying very hard these days. She comes to my store every day and bothers me for hours asking this and that about reading and calculating.”
“Miru, did you
?”
I asked in surprise, and Miru muttered with a shy look on her face.
“Un
 I want to be of help to Candy Uncle. But, I can barely read and write, and I’m not very good at calculating 

”
I was so happy that I hugged the cute cat girl tightly.
The cat girl snuggled in my arms.
“Did you study so hard to help this uncle?”
Nod.
“Haha! Thank you so much, Miru. Just listening to it gives me strength”
As I expressed my pleasure, Miru, who kept looking at me with sparkling eyes asked.
“If I became good at writing and calculating, will you let me help you, Candy uncle?”
“Of course, dear.”
“Hehe! I’ll study hard and will come soon to help Uncle.”
I was so proud looking at Miru, who was trying hard for me.
I decided to buy school supplies that would help Miru study when I returned to Earth.
BANG!
“Sihyeon!”
Someone hurriedly opened the door and called my name.
“You scared me! Why are you in such a hurry?”
He came to me in a hurry, not paying any attention to Raccoon grandpa’s grumbling.
“Reville?”
“There are people at the entrance of the village who seem to have come to see you.”
“Me?”
“Well, they seem to be looking for someone called ‘Leader’.”
As soon as I heard Reville’s explanation, Kaneff’s image came in front of my eyes.
“They don’t look normal. Do you happen to know them?”
“They’re not someone I know, they must be my acquaintance’s former colleagues. You said they were waiting at the entrance of the village, right? Let’s go right away.”
“Okay, I’ll show you the way.”
I left the work for a while to Lagos and Raccoon grandpa and headed to the entrance of the village with Reville.
