“We become residents of this village?”

“Yes, if you guys are okay with it, that is. Of course, if you want to return to your country, I will help you. You don’t have to answer right away either.” said Jin.

After thinking a bit, Barou replied,

“I see… This village is a really nice place. I had opportunity to observe the study meeting the day before yesterday. Although they were still teaching things we already know, I heard from Elsa-sama that they were planning on introducing many more different things.”

Jin nodded.

“Yeah, that’s right. Although it is progressing little by little, I do wish to complete the education system here.”

“A village like this, it’s my first time seeing anything like it! I like these villagers!”

Belle said full of spirit.

“If it’s okay for me to live in this village then, I want to live here.”

To Belle who had already made up her mind, Barou asked,

“Belle, you’re okay with this, right?”

“Yup, Barou. Unlike you, I don’t have any family anymore so I wouldn’t have anywhere to go even after returning to Magiruts.”

Looks like Barou was the only one who had a family in the Shouro kingdom and Belle didn’t have a single relative.

Although Jin had left the questioning to Mine and Elsa about these, he forgot to listen to their report. It was a point he thought he had to reflect on, as he was the one who brought the two kids.

“Jin-sama, could you let us live here, in this village? My country… I don’t really have a reason to return there soon or anything. At that time… we were really grinding with our last ounce of strength and thought that if we were to die, it should be on the soil of our own country.”

Barou faced Jin with his back straight.

“Got it. I will also tell Gibbeck-san about it. About your job… hmm, how about castle management?”

br>They would normally have to do cleaning and receive guests if there are any. Jin also said that he would like to entrust them with one end of the management tasks one day.

“Su-such a big role?”

Barou was getting slight cold feet. On the other hand,

“Yes! I will do my best!”

Belle replied positively. Although it can also be that she didn’t quite understand the details of the job.

“Alright, then your salary will be 10 silver coins a month, the food will be served from here and we will also provide the necessary clothes. For your house, how about inside the castle for the time being? You will get about 1 day off a week at first. I will think more about it later.”

Normally, butlers or lady attendants in learning while living in don’t really get paid. 10 silver coins a month was an exceptional offer. There’s also no other place which gives a whole day off every week. At the very least, not at Serroa kingdom, where they had been working.

“Y-yes, thank you very much!”

After being elbowed by Belle, at last Barou also replied.

“Alright, then it’s settled. Let’s talk about the details again tomorrow. I have somewhere to be after this.”

Saying that, Jin was about to leave but then he stopped and looked back,

“Really, I would consider it if you guys wanted to return to Shouro kingdom once.”

Having said that, he went back towards the castle.

Hanna, who had just come out of the house, saw Jin off like that.

At the time Jin got out from the carriage’s warp-gate, the group was about to reach the city of Kram. It was about 30 minutes past noon.

Jin had perfectly predicted the timings as he knew the time difference.
