「レオルド様。こちらの書類に判をお願いします」
「レオルド様。こちらが今月分の税収になります。確認の方、お願いします」
「うむ」
「レオルド様。住民から魔物駆除の依頼が届いております。急ぎの案件を纏めましたので、ご確認願います」
「ご苦労」
「レオルド様。私へのご褒美は?」
るな!」
先日、レオルドは騎士団の雑用係となっていた五人に試験を行い、三人採用した。能力は高くはないが、やる気はあるし、何よりもレオルドに忠実であった。
不採用になった二人は落ち込んでいたが、レオルドにはどうする事も出来なかった。剣の才能も無ければ文官としての才能も無かったのだから、二人の落ち込み具合は相当なものだ。
が見える訳では無い。だから、不採用の二人が何が得意か不得意かも分からない。故にレオルドは結局、不採用にした二人を救う事は出来なかった。
慰めようとしたが、二人から向けられる視線にレオルドは耐え切れなかった。不採用になった二人も自分達が悪いと知りながらも、僅かにでも希望を見せてくれたレオルドが憎らしかった。
どうせ落ちるなら、最初から希望を持たせて欲しくなかったと。頭では理解していても二人の感情がレオルドを拒んだ。
最後に向けられた目がレオルドは忘れる事が出来なかった。
ちなみに不採用になった二人は雑用係ではなくイザベルが育成した使用人と同じ扱いになり、給金は騎士団にいた頃よりは上がっていた。
現在、騎士団には元々の雑用係の二人とイザベルが育成した使用人を合わせて二十人が雑用をこなしていた。そんなに必要なのかと思われたが、交代制にしており何人かは休日を得ることが出来ており、思っている以上に改善された。
レオルドが持つ真人の記憶から抽出した成果だ。人は毎日働く事など出来はしない。いや、出来たとしても効率は落ちていくだけで、最終的には損する。
だから、休息を挟んで肉体的な疲労を癒す必要があるのだ。運命48は無駄に中世ヨーロッパ風なので、毎日働くのが当たり前になっている。日本人が作った中途半端な中世ヨーロッパ風なくせに、変な所は史実を再現してるのだから困りものだ。
だからこそ、レオルドの改善策は劇的なものであった。一週間のうち三日も休みを作ったのだ。そんなに休んだら、仕事にならないだろうと思われたが、意外にも上手くいった。
最大の理由はイザベルの指導のおかげであった。イザベルがいなければ破綻していたと言ってもいいくらいだ。
イザベルはたった四日で最高のパフォーマンスを維持して仕事を終わらせる技術を新人達に叩き込んだのだ。適度に肩の力を抜く時と、ここぞと言う時には本気を出して働く事を覚えさせた。
そして、もう一つ意外な出来事もあった。それは、騎士団に雑用の為に派遣していた使用人と騎士が婚約を結んだのだ。
それを聞いたレオルドは最初こそ驚いたが、よくよく考えてみれば騎士団は基本男所帯だ。仕事は治安維持、魔物駆除と言ったもので出会いの場などない。
そこに使用人である女性が騎士団に出入りするようになったのだ。飢えた狼の群れに羊を投げ込むようなものだった。仕事中の使用人を口説いたりする様子が見られたそうだ。
基本的に貴族は貴族と結婚する。だが、家督を継がない三男や四男は家を出る事が多い。だから、平民と結婚することもある。
これが本物の中世ヨーロッパなら有り得ないだろうが、この運命48の世界は日本人が考えた、なんちゃって中世ヨーロッパ風な世界だ。細かい事は気にしなくていいのだ。
こういう所は中途半端に真人の記憶が邪魔をする。真人の記憶では中世ヨーロッパがどのようなものかを中途半端に記憶しているからだ。
逆にレオルドの記憶だとこういうものなんだと認識している。そのおかげで偶に混乱してしまうことがある。レオルドに真人の記憶が宿り新たな人格になったはいいが、こういう時に二つの記憶があると不便である。
「ふむ。キリがいいから今日はこの辺でお終いにしよう」
元気な返事を耳にしながらレオルドは机の上を片付ける。他の三人も机の上を整理して午前の作業を終えた。
レオルドは執務室を出て食堂に向かい昼食をとる。昼食を取り終わると、レオルドは午後の日課になっている
ちなみに文官の三人も書類仕事ばかりでは身体がなまっていけないだろうと参加しているが、レオルドと比べたら可愛いものだ。レオルドがギルバート、バルバロトにしばかれてる横で軽く運動をしているだけなのだから。
勿論、強制しているわけではない。三人がレオルドを見習って自主的にやっているだけだ。ただ、レオルドがギルバートとバルバロトから罵詈雑言を浴びながら鍛錬に励んでいる姿に、三人はちょっとした恐怖を感じていた。
頭から地面に落ちて意識を失う寸前、レオルドは運命48にあったイベントを自分の手で起こすのだと決めて意識を手放した。
Ch 79
Master Leolde . I need your signature on this document.
"Master . leolde. This is the tax revenue for this month. Please check it for me."
"Mm-hmm.
Master Leolde . We have received a request from a resident to exterminate a monsters . I've put together a list of urgent matters, so please check it.
"Thank you."
"Master Leolde. What's my reward?"
"Don't go begging in the middle of the night!'
The other day, Leolde tested five of the knights who had become scullery maids, and hired three of them. They were not highly skilled, but they were motivated and above all, loyal to  him .
The two who were rejected were depressed, but there was nothing Leolde  could do about it. They had no talent with swords and no talent as civil servants, so their depression was considerable.
He wanted to do something about it, but he couldn't see the numerical parameters like he could in the game. So he didn't know what the two rejects were good at or not. So, in the end, Leolde could not save the two rejected people .
He tried to comfort them, but he couldn't bear the stares they were giving him. The two who had been rejected knew it was their fault, but they hated him for showing them even the slightest hope.
If they were going to fail anyway, he didn't want them to have any hope from the beginning. Even though he understood it in his head, the emotions of both of them refused to let him.
He couldn't forget the last time they looked at him.
The two who were not hired were treated like servants that Isabelle had trained, and their wages were higher than when they were in the knight order.
In addition to the two original scullery maids, there are now twenty people in the knight's order, including the two original scullery maids and the servants that Isabelle trained. It seemed as if they needed that many, but they were taking turns and some of them were able to get days off, which was an improvement over what they thought.
This was the result of extracting from Leordo's true human memories. People can't work every day. No, even if they could, their efficiency would only decrease, and in the end they would lose money.
That's why it is necessary to take a break and recover from physical fatigue. Destiny 48 is  based on a medieval European style, so working every day is the norm. It's a problem because it's a half-baked medieval European-style game made by the Japanese, but the weird parts are based on historical facts.
That's why Leolde 's improvement plan was so dramatic. He took three days off in one week. It seemed that if he took that many days off, he would not be able to work, but surprisingly, it worked.
The main reason was Isabel's guidance. Without Isabel, it would have been a disaster.
In just four days, Isabel had instilled in the newcomers the skills to maintain peak performance and get the job done. She taught them to relax their shoulders and to work hard when they needed to.
There was also one more unexpected event. It was that the servant who had been sent to the knight's order for chores and the knight had become engaged.
At first, Leolde was surprised to hear this, but when he thought about it, he realized that the Knights were basically a man's family. Their job is to maintain security and exterminate demons, so there is no place for them to meet.
But then a woman, a servant, started to come and go in the order. It was like throwing a sheep to a pack of hungry wolves. They were seen hitting on the servants while they were working.
Basically, nobles marry nobles. But the third and fourth sons, who do not inherit the family, often leave home. Therefore, they sometimes marry commoners.
If this were real medieval Europe, it would be impossible, but this world of Fate 48 is a Japanese idea of a kind of medieval European world. You don't have to worry about the details.
This is where Masato's memory gets in the way halfway. This is because  his past life memories  has a half-remembered of what medieval Europe is like.
On the other hand, in Leolde's memory, he is aware that this is what it is like. Because of this, he sometimes gets confused. It's a good thing that Leoldo has his true memories and has become a new person, but it's inconvenient to have two memories at a time like this.
"Hmm. let's calle it a day "
!" Hearing the cheerful reply, Leolde rose  from desk. The other three also cleared their desks and finished their morning work.
Leolde left the office and went to the cafeteria to have lunch. After finishing his lunch, he went on his afternoon routine of training
Incidentally, the three civilian officers also joined in, as they didn't want their bodies to get too tired from all the paperwork, but compared to Leolde, they were pretty cute. While Leolde is being tortured by Gilbert and Barbaroto, they are just doing light exercise.
Of course, He not forcing them to do anything. It's just that the three of them are following Leolde's example and doing it voluntarily. However, the three of them felt a bit of fear at the sight of Leolde working out while being abused by Gilbert and Barbaroto.
Just before he fell head first to the ground and lost consciousness, he decided that he would create the events of destiny 48 with his own hands and lost f his consciousness.
