Seventh Daughter 4-40 part 2

 

Chapter 4-40 : Dignity Is Important For A Feudal Lord (part 2)

 

「Hello, Aria-san!」(Mylia)

「Mylia-san, Chloe onee-sama, welcome!」(Aria)

After Mylia and Chloe waited for about a minute in the drawing room, Aria came and greeted them with a big smile on her face.

「Long time no see, Aria-san.」(Chloe)

「Yeah, it’s been a while, Chloe onee-sama. Since you came here that means the immigrants have almost arrived in Lavender Town. Am I right?」(Aria)

「Yes, and we need the documents with their data.」(Chloe)

「I see. The documents are in my office. Let’s talk there.」(Aria)

Mylia and Chloe nodded and followed Aria to her office.

There were a lot of piles of paper here and there, but the room looked tidy.

「These are the documents containing the data of the immigrants in the first wave.」(Aria)

「Th, this many…?」(Mylia)

「Well, there are more than two thousand people in the first wave. We still have the second and the third wave waiting, you know?」(Aria)

「I see…」(Mylia)

Seeing the huge pile of documents on Aria’s desk, Mylia suddenly looked somewhat apologetic. She scratched her cheek with her index finger and glanced at Aria.

「Aria-san. Umm… I’m sorry for making you work so hard… It must have been tough registering thousands of people…」(Mylia)

「Fufu. What are you talking about? I told you I wanted to do this. Mylia-san, I’m happy to help you.」(Aria)

「Aria-san…」(Mylia)

（Ahh~ Not only is she cute but she’s also smart and diligent. How lucky I am to have a wonderful friend like Aria-san!）

「Besides, I don’t work alone. Chris onii-sama helps me most of the time.」(Aria)

「Speaking of Chris-san, I haven’t seen him in a long time. Where is he now?」(Mylia)

「Unfortunately, he’s working in the castle now.」(Aria)

「I see.」(Mylia)

（To be honest, I don’t want to see him, but I should thank him for the fake engagement idea. It helped me chase away those merchant father and son pair.）

TL : She was talking about Jalda and Jabel (ch 4-31)

「Aria-san, can I check the documents?」(Chloe)

「Of course, Chloe onee-sama.」(Aria)

Chloe approached Aria’s desk, took a few documents from the pile as samples, and briefly checked them one by one.

「Hmm, hmm… The information provided in these documents is very detailed. Great job, Aria-san!」(Chloe)

「Thank you!」(Aria)

（As expected from Aria-san! I will never be able to do as well as her. I hate office work after all.）

「Mylia, can you put these documents in your magic bag?」(Chloe)

「Okay~」(Mylia)

Mylia stretched her hand toward the documents on the desk and put them in her magic bag.

「Well then, shall we go home now?」(Chloe)

「Eeeehh…? Isn’t it too soon to go home? I still want to talk with Aria-san.」(Mylia)

「Mylia, we still have a lot of preparations to do before the immigrants come.」(Chloe)

「Mylia-san, Chloe onee-sama is right. I still want to talk with you too, but those immigrants are not going to wait for us. You can come again after your work is done.」(Aria)

「Alright… I’ll bring Jasmine onee-sama’s chocolate cake next time. It’s delicious! Let’s eat it together next time!」(Mylia)

「Un! I’m looking forward to it.」(Aria)

Mylia and Aria nodded and smiled at each other.

Mylia then grabbed Chloe’s hand, and then they both teleported back to the Atwood Territory.

 

〇〇〇

 

When they arrived at the Atwood Territory, they didn’t land right away, but they were floating in the air a few hundred meters above the Lavender Town to observe the town for a while.

「Hmm… Deforestation has progressed quite a lot, and we have plenty of empty areas now. We can use them as residential areas. I think it will be enough for the immigrants.」(Chloe)

「Thinking that a lot of people will be living on the land we created makes me happy. But… Onee-chan…」(Mylia)

「What’s wrong?」(Chloe)

「Why do I think that this town looks like me from above…?」(Mylia)

「Eh? Th, That’s probably just your imagination… Y, Yeah, I’m sure of it…」(Chloe)

「Is that so…? Butー」(Mylia)

「ーMore importantly, Mylia, we should get to work! There’s still a lot to do! Anyway, let’s go to the square first to tell everyone!」(Chloe)

「O, Okay…」(Mylia)

After Chloe suspiciously changed the subject, they both descended and landed in the town square.

Little did Mylia know that Chloe planned to build the town with the structure resembling Mylia’s body.

The lavender fields looked like the hair since they had the same color as Mylia’s hair, and the areas with buildings looked like the body.

The main street extended from the tips of the right foot all the way to the top of the head.

By the way, Mylia’s new mansion was on the right shoulder, next to the lavender fields that were designed to act as hair.

As for the town square, it was in the stomach, which was in the center of the town.

When they landed in the square, they saw Bonnie talking with a worker. They approached her and called out to her.

「Bonnie onee-sama~!」(Mylia)

「There’s something we need to tell you.」(Chloe)

「Mylia, Chloe. Please wait a second… Do you still have anything to report?」(Bonnie)

Noticing her two sisters, Bonnie waved at them and returned her gaze to the worker.

「No, that would be all.」(worker)

「Alright. Thank you for the report. You can go back to your post now.」(Bonnie)

「Yes, Ma’am!」(worker)

After the worker left, Bonnie turned to Mylia and Chloe.

「What’s wrong?」(Bonnie)

「How are the preparations to accept the immigrants going?」(Chloe)

「It’s been going smoothly so far. Will they arrive soon?」(Bonnie)

「Yeah, a Duke Griffith’s knight told us they would arrive tomorrow at noon.」(Chloe)

「I see. So we need to finish the preparation today.」(Bonnie)

「That’s right. We will need an open area, a lot of tables and chairs, and enough manpower to register more than two thousand immigrants.」(Chloe)

「Alright. I can gather the workers to make tables and chairs, and I think I know some people who can read and write to help register the immigrants.」(Bonnie)

「That’s great! I leave it to you then.」(Chloe)

「You can count on me.」(Bonnie)

When Chloe and Bonnie were done talking, Mylia saw the perverted lolicon, Alex, walking sluggishly while carrying some heavy clay bricks.

「Aa!」(Alex)

「Geh!」(Mylia)

Alex dropped all the bricks on the ground and ran toward Mylia as soon as he noticed her.

「Mylia-chaaaaー Gohe!!」(Alex)

However, Bonnie quickly grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him away from Mylia.

「Nope! No Mylia-chan for you! You’re going to make hundreds of tables and chairs, and you won’t get any food for dinner before you finish it!」(Bonnie)

「Noooooooooo!!」(Alex)
