A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 94: City Development is Troublesome

When it was early morning, wearing a blue casual dress, Luna relaxed on the balcony on the second floor directly opposite the backyard overgrown with green grass as well as a beautiful flower garden.

Accompanied by Mana who was wearing the same Maid uniform as her sister, Luna enjoyed morning tea while watching the two people who were together in the backyard.

"Good morning"

Joining Luna is Dara who only wears a plain white negligee with a Nun who plays her Servant.

"Good morning too, how did you sleep?"

"Thank God, I slept like a baby"

Sitting together with Luna, the two of them started chatting casually while Mana prepared tea for Dara. Seeing the sight of those who chatted like this, it was hard to imagine that they were actually in a love triangle with a Prince from a Kingdom.

Cring... Crangs...

Fun chatting casually, Dara's attention was distracted by the clashing iron sounds coming from the backyard below them.

"Oh, they..."

What Dara saw was the sight of Lavender dressed as a swordsman with a sword in his right hand and a wooden shield in his left.

Swinging his sword, what initially looked like an ordinary short sword suddenly extended until it looked like a whip that was swerving like a snake that was eyeing its prey.

Welcoming Lavender's sword swing was Prince Draco who was also dressed as a swordsman complete with a Longsword he held with both hands.

Snake Sword, as the name suggests, is a sword that has segments on its blade that can extend like a snake. The main drawback to this type of sword was that it was difficult to use it to defend but instead this sword attack was also difficult to fend off.

Even so, Prince Draco could easily fend off an attack from Lavender and even counterattack at full speed.

"!" with quick reflexes Lavender successfully raised her shield to greet the sword slash directed at her. However, the attack from Prince Draco did not arrive. Right after the attack

the first one was successfully caught, he continued with a second attack directed right towards Lavender's stomach.

Dodging by jumping backwards, Lavender managed to avoid it. Only to be met by a third strike that targeted his neck from the right side.

Dara who saw the sword ability of Prince Draco could only be amazed by him. Simultaneously he also praised Lavender's reflexes being able to continuously dodge all the attacks directed at him.

Not to mention his skill to use the unpopular Snake Sword as it was hard to use. The fact that Lavender was able to swing the sword so well proved that she was used to it

that sword.

"What an incredible sword art. Master Leaf's abilities were equivalent to or even surpass that of a Royal Knight"

"Honestly, I was surprised because of that. That's why after Big Brother found out that Mr. Leaf is an expert in swordsmanship, he immediately asked her to become his sword instructor"

"So that's the case, so Mr. Leaf isn't an ordinary business associate either"

Still drinking tea together, the two of them relax and enjoy the morning while watching Lavender and Prince Draco exchange attacks.

Although they attacked each other as if they wanted to kill each other, but the smile on their faces both showed that they were both having fun.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, something flashed through Dara's mind.

"They... Don't they look very close?"

Answering this, Luna could not answer him. He could only be silent while giving an expression as if he was in distress.

Seeing this, Dara seemed to understand the situation and chose not to ask any further.

After that, none of them spoke. They just stayed there while enjoying the tea until finally the breakfast time had arrived.

Huh... I didn't think Prince Draco was that strong.

It was so strong that I had to willingly spend a total of 4SP to obtain the [Whip] and [Shield] Passive Skill to hope to compensate even a little. And look at that, they instantly leveled up in just one match practice!

Furthermore [Footwork] has finally leveled up and even leveled up. I had to spend another 4SP to get the [Nimble Movement] that made my movements more agile.

Alright, after taking a shower and breakfast, I suggested that Luna take Dara for a walk around the city before I finally allow them to play on the beach with the other Nobles children.

Don't worry, of course I've prepared swimsuits for both of them.

And do you know? Apparel stores that have recently opened have also sold various types of swimwear that are immediately popular and only a day they almost run out of stock.

Well, I guess their reaction was only natural considering this was the first time they had seen such clothes. If there was a new fashion model, it would be impossible for the citizens of Narsist Kingdom to miss it.

Returning to the original topic, after sending Luna and Dara away, I returned to my office to take care of some things.

One of the things I have to take care of is the cost of building a housing complex that I did not expect would exceed the budget that had been determined.

Well, how else.

After the Alliance forces managed to squeeze into the Narsist Kingdom territory, making them focus resources especially building materials to strengthen their defenses. That is why the price of building materials is now rising and difficult to get.

If the problem of wood I can still outsmart it by cutting down the nearest forest (Do not imitate), sand does not need to be asked again, but if other building materials such as stone and cement are difficult to get it.

I had to ask Dean for help to help me get the building materials that of course he was happy to provide with some conditions. Fortunately, the terms he gave me were very cheap so I agreed.

After all, if they dare to mess around I just have to tell them that clogged sewers are prone to flooding.

Although all building materials have been successfully obtained. Now it's a matter of cost.

It is true that almost half of the workers are Golems that I made myself as well as cheap slave laborers. It's just that it doesn't take away the fact that there are still human workers who have families

to be blessed and the architects who have been to be replaced. Especially because I have to pay overtime until my expenses become swollen.

I could have reduced the cost by having them make the original building. But because it will later become the residence of the people from the upper class, I so should not be stingy and should decorate the housing

it was with a wide variety of decorations and other decorations which of course was far from cheap.

Although it is true that the economic condition of this city is getting better, but there are limits.

Not to mention because the war also makes the price of basic goods also go up.

If I have fish, it's just that the people of this city also need wheat and rice and other vegetables that I have to import from other regions.

What makes it worse is the refugees who began to arrive who of course even added to the weight of the burden that this city had to bear.

For this one I had to ask for help from Prince Argenti who of course was immediately granted on condition that he wanted to spend the night together with Luna. I had no reason to refuse so I just accepted.

Well, for now it feels like that's all I have to think about.

Seeing Meno with disheveled hair thinking about the accounting of this city, I became grateful and relieved to have given the job to him. Sitting in his usual place, there was the usual Prince Draco now relaxing while drinking tea but now he was also busy with some documents before him.

Fortunately, he was willing to help me, even though technically this city issue was not his responsibility. I am also grateful for having experienced people to help ease my work.

Really, I'm a witch, not a government employee. Why do I have to take care of a city like this?

If only I had more experienced and trustworthy subordinates... Problems can be trusted or not can be handled later, provided I have competent subordinates I am grateful.

Oh yeah, speaking of subordinates...

"Prince Draco, if you don't remember wrongly, haven't you recently cleared out some Nobles in your Kingdom?"

"It's okay, it's just that I'm curious. Have you prepared their replacement before?"

"Well..."

Stopping his work, Prince Draco began to explain.

"I have prepared their substitutes in advance. I choose them from the competent people I trust. Although some of them did not have any real achievements, but their abilities were still more

good than fat Nobles who are only competent about their own stomachs"

"So, so, do you have any advice on how to find competent and trustworthy personnel?"

"Oh, so that's what you want to ask... For that matter, I don't have good advice. That's because competent and trustworthy people are actually hard to find. To get it, you

must have the ability to judge a person and the hard work to be able to find him. The rest is a matter of luck"

"So in short 'Usaha itself' well..."

It's troublesome....

Although for now I myself can still take care of this City regularly, but in the future when this City is getting bigger, then adding personnel becomes inevitable.

"By the way, Lavender Witch. I heard you own a Dungeon and open a business in Gata City?"

"Yes, that's true"

"If you may ask, if you're here, then who takes care of all that when you're gone?"

"I'm handing it over to my Servant. By the way they are the Golems I made as well as the Devil (Devil) I summoned"

"Then, why don't you make a Golem or summon another (Devil) Demon to help you take care of this city?"

For that, of course, I have thought about it too.

It's just that's impossible!

The first reason is that I need the magic circle in the Ibis Dungeon to be able to do both! I could have built a teleportation portal to go back there to create or summon a new Servant.

It's just that the second reason keeps me from doing that.

"...If this city is my true territory, then I have been doing it for a long time. It's just that I'm going to give back this land to Meno"

Surprised when his name was suddenly called, Meno who was dizzy himself immediately stopped his work and stared straight at me.

Oh, my gosh. After this I had to force her to sleep for a while.

"I knew that you would hand over this territory to Miss Meno. Just what does that have to do with not calling a new Servant?"

"That's because if it was my own Servant, when I left then they would definitely come along. If I told them to occupy an important position, then after I left then that position would also definitely be

directly empty!

There was indeed an option to leave them to continue taking care of this city when I left. But it was tantamount to spoiling Meno that made him never able to become independent"

"Ah, so... It would be hard if that was the way"

After further discussion, I could find no solution but to wait for a miracle to happen.

...

While Lavender is dizzy from her work, Luna and Dara are having a good time touring the city which is gradually becoming more and more beautiful.

While escorted by Percy and Zweite they are both free to walk wherever they want as long as it is still in the city area.

Although the architecture of the building here is still far less than those in the Capital, but the clean and garbage-free streets make many people to feel at home in this City. It also looks like some new shops are open and crowded with visitors.

Curious, Dara who came to the store was amazed by the various souvenirs on display there.

From wood carvings, accessories from shells, to paintings that show views of the ocean on sale there.

"This is a gift shop that sells products that you can only find in this region. The wood carvings that are there are made based on the legend of giant creatures that are said to inhabit the ocean and have a large

like an island. If the painting is there..."

Giving an explanation like a professional guide, an explanation from Luna successfully made Dara become interested. As they went from the store to look elsewhere, the shopkeeper waved his hand at them with a wide smile on his face while tightly hugging the bag of money in the other hand.

After leaving the gift shop, they walked for a while before finally arriving at a clothing store. Although the clothing store was crowded by visitors, but they were both immediately allowed to enter because

their arrival was already anticipated by the store clerk.

"Whoah..."

Seeing the various models of clothing on display in the store, successfully tickled the soul of Dara women.

Since then he has never stopped observing and asking about the clothes he saw both in terms of design to what type of fabric is used. Since Luna did not know much about the clothes, then she left everything to the shop clerk who faithfully answered all the questions from Dara with a smile on her face.

"If you look around, the accessories on all the clothes here are not like those in the Capital..."

"That was caused by Mayor Malika who wanted to popularize the new dress model that she named as 'Simple but luxurious'. Although initially quite a lot of people who scoff at this dress model,

but gradually began many people who follow the model dress 'Simple but luxurious' after Mayor Malika many times seen using it when she was doing a routine inspection"

"Simple yet luxurious..."

Being interested, Dara also bought some of the best clothes that this store has and immediately paid for it in full.

Little did she know the reason why this dress model existed was because Lavender was fed up with wearing festive clothes just to go for a walk.

She even protested to Princess Margarita because all the fashion models she created were too complicated and difficult to wear.

Just before the two of them left, the store clerk handed over two parcels containing orders from Lavender addressed to Luna and Dara.

Along with the parcel there is also a message that reads "Happy fun at the beach♪" which makes the final destination of their sightseeing event has been decided.

After that they returned around the city while Luna gave an explanation of all the facilities available. When it was noon, the two of them stopped for a while to one of the restaurants not too long ago

opened.

Recognizing as the best student of Koki Jun, the restaurant has always been crowded by visitors since opening day.

After being full, they finally walked to the beach which has now been opened as a tourist attraction.

"Miss Selene, if I may ask. What is that building in the middle of the ocean?"

Just as they were about to pass through the pier to go to the sandy beach area, Dara was astonished by a half-finished tower-shaped stone building built right on a large rock in the middle of the ocean.

Seeing what Dara meant, Luna immediately gave her explanation.

"It was some kind of watchtower. Later after so there will be a large torch that will be lit at the top at night to tell the Fishermen about where the position of the Pier at

the dark of night. The brother built it because of the many complaints about the Fisherman Ship that was shipwrecked because it hit a rock at night"

"Ohh..."

After being satisfied to hear the explanation from Luna, they continued their journey to the beach.

...

While Luna and Dara were having fun, the two nuns who were in charge of escorting Dara were now in a precarious situation.

His reason? Should I say it?

"Let us go!"

"Are you not afraid of His Majesty's wrath?"

For the first time I would like to thank his uncle Meno for bothering to build a dungeon complete with torture sites ready to use.

Really, even all the equipment is still there and asked for me to use it.

Successfully preventing them from escorting Dara today, I again successfully made them eat food that had been seasoned sleeping pills so it was easy for me to bring them to this place.

After stripping the two of them and tying them to the torture table with their body positions forming the letter X I took out a whip placed on the wall of the room.

Seeing this, their cries to me became increasingly.

"Well, I'm under stress today because of all the work... So, can you two accompany me and tell me some things about you and that girl named Dara?"
