Looking over the documents handed to me this morning, an confirming that there were no problems with it, I signed them to begin my today’s work. If there were any unclear points, I would call the person in charge and ask for an explanation. After the Demon God’s subjugation had been completed, I, Utano Yuuko took a job in Imnesia continent that made me a superior to others. Even I myself think that it really doesn’t suit me though.
Recently, I have been spending everyday like this. While rubbing my eyes, I breathed a sigh. When was the last time I left the castle town even?
No, when was the last time that I simply relaxed all day as well? Thinking that, I looked up to the ceiling wondering what the hell was I doing with my life.
Even though I am praised as a Sage, a Hero and whatnot, inside I’m still a normal human.
I get tired when I use my brains too much, and I get irritated if I don’t get to move my body much. But now that the Demon God had been killed, what was necessary was not brawn but brains. And ability to guide the people.
Unfortunately, I was given the job to deal with domestic affairs, or rather, to give others various jobs. One year after the subjugation of the Demon God, I was appointed as the Municipal Head of this country—-the Imnesia Kingdom. Rather than saying that I had talent for this, this worlds domestic and diplomatic policy levels were so much lower than modern society that my ideas seemed extremely novel and revolutionary to them.. Being continuously threatened by the Demon God, only their military and war related skills developed. There was no kind of activities made for pleasure or fun, and most of the land was in control of nobles and not put under the management of a farmer who could work on it.
Production and manufacturing is mainly related to weapons and armours. Other things like stylish clothing or ornaments were made only for the noble brag about them. Though the price of such articles was one of the reasons why they were not popular with commoners but above all, they simply did not have the time to waste on such things.
The threat of monsters was still there, even the demons were still alive. Though the people were given a temporary sense of freedom with the subjugation of the Demon God, it’s not like their lives completely changed. There were too many people who had lost their families and place to work due top monster attacks.
Though I have knowledge, I don’t have the experience to manage such jobs properly. Even if I want to open up a orphanage, I don’t know what things are necessary. Thanks to all that, I am spending everyday where my head hurts constantly. I am clearly not suited for this. Shouldn’t these guys pick a better experienced person for this? Well, at least they help me when I ask for advice in such matters.
Recently, I do feel that I’ve gotten a bit used to this job as well but still I have a long way to go.
There are a lot of things to do at the royal capital. Maintenance of the highways, repairs of the city walls etc. We still have to shift homeless to permanent houses, distribute provisions to orphans and also collect reasonable taxes from the surrounding villages as well.
Right now there is one in the capital only but sooner or later I want to set up orphanages in the villages as well. Not just farmlands, I want to create mills and factories as well. There’s a huge availability of land and personnel so I have to try that.
Today as well, I’ll have to face off the huge amount of documents. Thinking that I felt like crying a bit.
“I should have also left on a journey like a certain someone……”
I muttered but there was no response to that.
The office I have been provided with is huge but I’m the only one here. My thoughts were too unique for the people of this world so there’s no one who could converse with me.
No, I don’t lack communication skills, the people of this world are simply that thickheaded. Thanks to that, not a single man tries to even flirt with me. They simply don’t have a good discerning eye in my opinion though.
A few bookshelves and a work table. A sofa and table for visitors. In the simple kitchen, only a teapot with tea leaves had been prepared. Maids would keep the room clean but documents scattered around the table were a bit too much. It’s not like I’m bad at keeping things tidy but when you have to deal with so many documents everyday, it becomes like this normally. I’ll say this again but I’m definitely not bad at keeping things tidy alright?………I’m not good at it either though.
*snap* As I snapped my fingers, a book flew out from one of the bookshelves and floated down into my arms. It was the magic [Float]. My cheat is [to be able to use any magic from any manga, anime, novel or games]. It’s super convenient but because it is so convenient I feel like I’m not getting enough physical exercise nowadays. Insufficient exercise is the arch enemy for a woman. Especially for your weight and body figure.
