Saying that, I dragged over a stool from the corner of the workshop and sat on it.
"So, Shishou, what brings you here today?"
"Umu."
Of course, I didn't visit Zanoba just to chat with him.
I've entrusted Zanoba with the production of the magic armor, but there's one other job I'd like to entrust to him alongside that.
"Actually, Zanoba, today I came to deliver to you a notice of personnel change."
"Haah... A notice of personnel change?"
"Yes, a notice of personnel change."
While saying that, I took out a piece of paper from my chest pocket.
I held it out to Zanoba reverently with both hands.
"Oops, excuse me."
Zanoba hastily set aside Julie, brushed off the shaving dregs from his chest, and respectfully received it.
He's a man of etiquette.
"Fumu... 'Zanoba Shirone has been appointed to the position of marketing supervisor for the Ruijerd figures' is written here."
"Umu, accept it modestly."
"I'm fine with accepting it, but...... wasn't that project postponed?"
In brief, this notice signifies the start of the project to sell Ruijerd dolls that has been planned for some time.
You might ask why now, at this particular time.
But the current circumstances are exactly why we must do it.
To elaborate.
From now on, we'll be winning over powerful people from each nation,
and at the same time gathering comrades to fight against Laplace.
But there are several people whose whereabouts we don't know.
For example, that's right, Ruijerd.
In the original history, he'd be in the demon continent,
but in this loop he traveled together with me to the central continent.
Recently there haven't been any letters, and I don't know where he is.
Since it's him, I don't believe that the unthinkable happened to him, but he's in a situation where I can't immediately meet him and request his help.
Well, it's not like he's in hiding,
so while searching around, we might find him.
But to be frank, he's the first person that I want to ask, "Please cooperate with us to defeat Laplace."
That's how I feel.
I want to do whatever it takes to find him and directly ask him.
I want to give him the chance to exact his revenge on Laplace...
That's the public half of it.
I simply want to meet Ruijerd after a long time.
It would be nice to meet him and once again work together toward the same goal.
That's the other half.
