Chapter 720


    There were problem with the plan


    “However, even if the issue of expenses is solved, it would still be difficult.”


    “What other problems are there?”


    “First, there are the horses. It will take time to gather enough horses to place at each station.”


    “That is true.”


    “But Sebastian, can’t we just buy some from other nobles?”


    “That is possible, but it will not be cheap. Still, it is worth looking into.”


    Sebastian then told one of the other butlers to make some calculations regarding the cost of securing the horses, and hiring personnel.


    While nothing had been decided yet, he liked to act quickly.


    I suppose it was the way that Mr. Ekenhart liked to do things.


    In the end, he was the one who would decide whether a project was worth doing. So we just needed to gather information as much as possible. In preparation for a presentation...


    “Aside from that, there is one other problem, Mr. Takumi.”


    “What is that?”


    “Monsters. The villages and towns have guards, and so monsters usually stay away... But if there is a post in a secluded area...there will be no way to protect yourself.”


    “We could station some of the duke’s soldiers there. But they are limited in number.”


    “The fenrirs?”


    “Well, they are stronger than most monsters. But would they really do that?”


    “Wou. Wuff-wuff!”


    “Uhh, she says they will do it if she asks.”


    “But we are already asking the fenrirs to hunt orcs in the forest and to not hurt humans. Surely we cannot ask them to do more...”


    “Indeed, Lady Claire. Good Leo, we are grateful, but we do not want the fenrirs to be pushed too hard. After all, we are trying to build a good relationship with them.”


    “Wuff? Wuff-wuff. Grau!”


    “Uh, she says they would be happy to do it if you gave them hamburgers.”


    “Wuff-wuff. Wou!”


    She was saying that the point of working was to eat good food.


    Hmm... Well, it could be one reason. But I wasn’t sure if it would really persuade them.


    If Leo asked them, it would be an order that they could not refuse.


    But if they didn’t want to, it could cause trouble in the future...


    Though, perhaps it was a strange concern coming from me, since I had been thinking about using them to pull carriages.
