How a Hero Lives as a Writer

25 – Full winds and storms

When I returned to the castle, it was already past mid-June.

With July approaching soon, I began to think that Oaklia, which has a long winter, is quite a place for people to live.

Of course, that is my point of view, having been in a poor environment.

It must be different for nobles who have lived in a warm place without lacking anything.

For the academy to succeed, it is necessary to raise the level of food, clothing and shelter.

Aside from that, I also need to find an artist that suits the manga style in order to carry out my plan.

“Is it still?”

“Ummm… It was not as easy as I thought.”

Don’t! Regarding the territory, Mithril mines and dwarves in the back mountain, elves in the next mountain, and dragons in the front mountain are the national rules!

If the other requirements are bad, even talented people should roll around!

ㅡ The outflow of talent is serious.

Haa….

“Can you tell me what to pay attention to?”

“First of all, I am not familiar with selecting a site or building a building, so I am not sure. But other than that, there were a lot of things that I was concerned about.”

“For example?”

“First of all, food, clothing and shelter. In Lady’s worldview, students attending the academy wear a uniform called a school uniform.”

To make the uniform, craftsmen and equipment are needed to produce similar clothes like a factory.

However, there is no such craftsmanship or equipment in this country.

“Food is also a problem. The food here is so poor.”

Comparing food on Earth to food here is pretty harsh.

But shouldn’t it be at least on the same level as other territories?

“The nobles will take care of the living environment, and even those who can’t find a villa will stay in the dormitory, so I don’t think it’s an issue for me to get involved. But I have to think about what to do with the firewood in the winter.”

Because the heating issue is very important.

“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.”

That’s exactly the situation.

“However, the clothes problem seems to be resolved somehow.”

“… Is it so?”

“I heard that Viscount Leonard and his party, which you mentioned earlier, are negotiating with the Golden Ear Company.”

Viscount Leonard.

He was definitely the person who came to me asking me to write a play.

But the clothes problem?

“Did you bring up the condition that the school uniform issue could be resolved?”

“Yes. The troupe that Romeo and Juliet promised to go to see a play in the story. Viscount Leonard came with a bargaining card called school uniforms on the condition of being in the extreme position.”

Is this what it means to ride with the flow?

ㅡ He was a troublesome person, but he was a necessary person.

I will.

Viscount Leonard is said to have boasted that he could prepare school uniforms for The Lady.

When you said you were suddenly withdrawing quickly, you left to prepare tools to negotiate with us.

As much as his head was fast, his feet were quick as well.

It’s a wood more suited to merchants than nobles….

Anyway, since it’s supposed to solve our most pressing problems, I guess we have no choice but to make a deal with Viscount Leonard.

“I need to talk to Viscount Leonard first.”

“Please.”

I still have the issue of ceremony and state, but both of them are currently unsolvable agendas for me.

So I guess I’ll go do what’s possible for me.

I decided to visit the inn where Viscount Leonard is staying with Sir Louis.

“… It is still a strange feeling.”

“It’s pretty, what?”

“Don’t make fun of me.”

Sir Louis kept frowning, as if wearing a skirt like the village women was awkward.

I should be able to get used to it now.

“Bright Ball.”

“Yes.”

“Would it be all right if I take a little time off from work?”

“A monastery?”

“That, I have other business….”

Sir Lewis said as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Ah, it looks like I’m going to go to a beauty salon.

“Sure. I will be at the monastery in the meantime.”

“Thank you, Lord Bright.”

I am more grateful.

Even though I bother to ask for an escort every time, they follow me without muttering.

I went to the Golden Isaac Company and asked for a room.

“This way!”

Shanghoe treated us as VVIPs beyond VIPs.

I just needed a small room, but the owner gave me a room that seemed to be used for entertaining guests.

I decided to wait for Viscount Leonard and his party while drinking the tea provided by the staff.

After a very short time passed, Viscount Leonard and his party came.

Viscount Leonard is a costume that makes you feel like an aristocrat unlike before.

There was an article I had seen before, and a man and a woman I had never seen before.

“It’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while.”

Viscount Leonard sipped gracefully from the tea in front of him, then drew a small arc around his mouth.

“I think it is a condition that you cannot refuse.”

It’s an irresistible condition….

“I don’t want to pretend to be with you. I just want to talk in terms of common sense.”

“Common sense?”

“The troupe that Romeo and Juliet go to. I want to take advantage of the position and name.”

“Like Aucklia became Auckland?”

Nodding.

ㅡ Is this it?

Yes. You’re asking for PPL.

The name of the troupe that Romeo and Juliet visit does not have a big impact on the work.

So give me an advantage.

For example, in the case of Leonard’s troupe, in the Lady’s view of the world, they would ask for it to be ‘Levard’s troupe’.

It means that they are aiming for permanent indirect advertising effect.

It’s like a clever human being.

“Instead, let me make you an offer you cannot refuse.”

It is already an offer that cannot be refused just by solving the school uniform.

But if you put something on it, I’ll be grateful.

Viscount Leonard turned his head to the side, and the man who had been silent all along opened her mouth.

“This is the troupe Mike.”

The man who introduced himself as Mike laid out the advantages that would come to me after the troupe joined.

If I provide a play to a theater company, I promise the best treatment in the industry.

Usually once a play is provided, the writer can’t get involved after that, but I’ll let you comment if I wish.

Some of the proceeds will be used in a way that helps the state of Oklea, etc.

Most of the deals were on good terms.

“This is Venus, the chief designer.”

Next to Mike was a woman named Venus.

Perhaps this is the person who will prepare the school uniform for Viscount Leonard.

She introduced herself, saying that she can make all kinds of clothes, from aristocratic dresses to ordinary people’s everyday wear.

So, I want to lead not only school uniforms, but also trends in this country called Oklia.

Unlike the grave tone and facial expression, these words conveyed a sense of great ambition.

“Then, please take good care of me in the future.”

“Please take care of me.”

This is the man who recognized my potential from the beginning and came to me.

For some reason, I had a feeling that this was going to happen.

I decided to finish the contract and have a little chat over tea.

“The conditions are so good, can we proceed with the negotiations like this?”

Even as a novice in negotiations, I think Viscount Leonard’s proposal was very advantageous to me.

“Because you deserve it.”

Even if the negotiations were successful, the reaction would be the same.

Then we should do something.

“A draft of a novel for a play has been made.”

“Yes?”

It wasn’t Viscount Leonard who reacted, it was a troupe named Mike.

Anyway, Viscount Leonard is likely to say, “I see,” Even if the world were to be split in two tomorrow.

“Drafts for publication, even revised drafts to be used in theater companies.”

“Yes?!”

Then my eyeballs will pop out.

“When shall we talk again?”

“… I’ll be waiting for you.”

As expected, this is a normal reaction.

ㅡ If you have a laptop here, it will be faster, right?

Don’t drool on your lips with such a meaningful expression.

Writers are people too, people!

After negotiating with Viscount Leonard, we set out for business.

“Then please wait.”

“Go slowly~”

I decided to spend some time in the abbey after Sir Louis.

“Who?”

The children started to be wary of me when they saw my changed appearance.

I immediately released the magic of the bracelet and revealed my true self.

“Writer!”

When my appearance changed, the children started running around and making a fuss.

“What about the next volume?”

“What happens next?”

“Hey! You said you shouldn’t ask about that!”

“It was so much fun!”

“Can I be a writer too!”

Wow, that’s dizzy.

Dark Horse: Energy Drain!

It’s a feeling of speeding up.

I listened roughly to the children’s stories and moved forward.

Then the children started clinging to me like monkeys.

Help me… !

“Dragon… Author!”

Father Simon, who found me, came running in a hurry, contemplating.

Ah, thank you so much for a person with common sense.

I decided to spend some time chatting with Father Simon.

“You say kids these days study so hard?”

“Yes. A lot of kids who want to become writers after reading your novels have increased.”

“Oh….”

That’s a good thing.

“Are there any works written by children? I want to read it.”

Maybe you’ll find the genius of the century, so you should check it out.

“Oh, thank you.”

The priest brought a lot of recycled paper that I sent for the children’s study.

And it was a bonus to explain who wrote this and what genre it was.

It must be proof that you are watching over the children well.

ㅡ He is a good person.

I will.

The children’s story was there.

Because all kids of this age are like that.

But there was a novel that strangely caught my eye.

“This is….”

“Oh, you drew well, right? This is the cover that Marie drew.”

“Are you good at drawing?”

“Did you not know? It was because of Marie’s painting that Sir Lewis came into contact with this place.”

This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

The priest said that Marie had never learned painting from anyone.

Still at this level….

That’s it.

This isn’t a red light district, and I’m not a sword master….

ㅡ What do you mean by that?

“Oaklia san rejeondeurigoa….”

“Yes? What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

ㅡ Legendary Orphan from Oklea… ? You are really trash….

No, this is a joke.

Marie is the artisan we’ve been looking for!

Hitomi, a legend, not a legend of Hinamatsuri, swept the business world while still a middle school student.

My Marie can be that kind of being!

ㅡ Since when did you become our Marie?

From today!

Ah, this is a spiritual property.

Aucklia has no mithril mines, no dwarves, elves, or dragons, but there are Mari!

Oh, Ave Maria!

“Can I talk to Marie for a minute?”

“Maybe….”

“Yes. I think Marie’s talent is definitely needed.”

You still have this kind of talent, but if you polish it, you’ll be Mare’s first and best manga artist.

“Thank you, warrior!”

No, I’m rather grateful.

Manshin Gettodase!
