Hearing the sound of the waves in the morning accompanied by a cold breeze that feels salty is indeed a very new experience for me.
If the scenery here could be even better then maybe I could enjoy this supposedly beautiful ocean more.
"Really, it is true that the port is very dilapidated and dirty. But with this beautiful view of the sea, as well as the beach with white sand there, would no one want to come to see it?"
Damn, even I see there are many small islands in the distance that can be easily utilized as a tourist attraction.
Glancing at Meno who was beside me, she no longer wore the village girl-like clothes she wore when we first met. Now he was wearing a Maid uniform with an innocent mask covering his entire face.
Okay, I know there's a lot you guys want to say.
It's true that I originally planned to make Meno and his sister back into Nobles. The first step I took was to take over the territory that had been abandoned by their uncle who had now moved to the territory that their parents had once controlled.
To be able to take over the territory that has the only Port in this Kingdom peacefully and not attract too much attention, I intend to ask for help from Prince Argenti who happens to be
it has been lured by the charm of Luna.
When I asked for this at our previous meeting, Prince Argenti easily agreed. It's just that Princess Margarita said something else.
"If you want to ask for a territory, then you should take care of it yourself. It's not just that this girl from the Avanzado Family is young and inexperienced, if you take care of the territory and
being a Noble along with your 'Sister', then this one Brother need not be humiliated for marrying a commoner"
That was a valid reason he gave. To the point that I don't know how to deny it.
Princess Margarita also added, if foreigners take over this region then Baron Monaco as the original owner will be happy to release it. Because if he finds out that his nephew will
taking his territory, there was no doubt that he would do everything possible to complicate their lives. On the other hand, if the one who would take over his territory was the family of a girl who was assessed by Prince Argenti. Not only Baron Monaco but also the other Nobles who saw this would surely think this was just the wits of Prince Argenti to seduce a commoner. Which is a pretty reasonable thing to do among Nobles.
"In exchange, the Princess of the Avanzado Family will come with you in disguise as a Servant so that they can learn directly from you how to take care of a territory"
And for the reason why they had to disguise themselves, it was to prevent their Uncle from knowing the whereabouts of his nephew who should still be alive was lying outside the walls of the Capital.
That's the short story of why Meno wore a Maid uniform and why I'm now in the Mansion which is the residence and office of the Mayor in this nameless Port city.
Huh... Really, really, even from the outside of this Mansion is quite luxurious and can even easily compete with the other Nobles residence in the Capital even though in terms of size this Mansion is much smaller by only having two floors only.
Even so, if you compare it to housing... Or rather the scenery around this Mansion as a whole. Then this Mansion will look like a lump of gold in the middle of the pile
garbage.
I'm not kidding!
The area around this Mansion was so slovenly that even Undercity literally lived inside a sewer!
I've decided. The first step I will take to fix this city is to clean it up.
"Penetress... Master, are you sure that this city is capable of being restored?"
"Oh, Meno. It will take effort and hard work. But I promise that within a month this city will look new so that even the citizens of this city will feel that they have just moved to another city"
Leaving the silent Meno on the second-floor balcony, I entered the Mansion to make all the preparations I needed.
...
Port Town. That's how people call this small, nameless town. With a population of only no more than 10 thousand people, the economy in this city is fairly lacking, especially in terms of food availability.
The main cause of this problem is the Port city area which consists mostly of rocky land that is not suitable if made as agricultural land. The best thing they can do is to give back
livestock in grassy areas that are quite far from the city or fish in the ocean.
More than half of the residents of the Port city work as fishermen who always go to sea at night and only come home in the morning.
Although their catch every day can be fairly abundant, but the income they get is still not much because the price of fish is very cheap.
The fishy smell of fish and the many small bones in the body of the fish make the Nobles and other rich people refuse to consume it.
The only people who still enjoy seafood are those who do not.
If it were not for the absence of other work they could do, then the existing Servants would have long stopped going to sea because their daily income was often not enough to make ends meet
they're everyday.
The situation became worse because the Baron who ruled in the Port City was a greedy person and liked to squander money.
He unhesitatingly raised the tax just for the sake of being able to build his mansion which was on a small hill overlooking the city. Seeing the striking Mansion every day makes the hearts of the residents hotter.
The unkempt city became increasingly slovenly and began to be uninhabitable while the Baron's house grew larger and larger.
Even the dock where they were leaning their little boat was now getting weathered and covered by slippery moss. If only the fishermen did not take the initiative to fix it, then the pier would have long been destroyed by the waves.
Until finally the nobles who had been ruling and torturing them had left this city and settled in a new territory. Not long after that news was heard that there was now a new Noble who occupied the position as the owner of this region.
"Hey, have you heard? We're gonna have a new mayor"
"Of course I heard it"
"The new "mayor is a woman. Does he know how to take care of this territory?"
"Allah, want men and women all must be the same. No matter who owns this territory now, our lives will not change"
News spread throughout the city that the reason why the new Mayor could get his current position was to seduce the Second Prince, which made the population not to speculate anything to the leader new them.
Until that morning comes...
When the sun had not yet appeared, the Fishermen who had gone to sea the previous night had now returned while carrying an abundant catch. However, given the price of fish that is not how much, there is only a sour face that is displayed on the face of every Fisherman.
While daydreaming about how they could survive this month, the Fishermen steered their ship towards the dock.
Upon arriving at the dock, they did not find any officers who used to help them in unloading their cargo. In fact, the usually busy dock now looks deserted to jump without anyone in sight.
Astonished, they sent one of their colleagues to check into the dock attendant's house. Not yet reached the dock attendant's house, he accidentally saw other residents who were crowding in front of the bulletin board placed near the entrance of the pier.
"Is there another tax increase?"
Considering that's all that's been on display lately, the fisherman with heavy steps approached the growing crowd. Although he did not like it, but every information displayed on the bulletin board would always have a big impact on their lives.
Be it a good impact or a bad impact.
With great difficulty the fisherman made use of his small body to sneak amongst the crowd. His hard work was finally imagined after he arrived right in front of the bulletin board and was able to read the paper on display there.
"Huh?" the sound of astonishment came out of his mouth when he saw the paper that was usually on display only in the form of brownish shabby paper now changed into a smooth white paper with beautiful writing written on the paper with a teak the bright purple one.
And what was written there further shocked the young fisherman.
"O dear citizens of the Port City, as your new ruler and Mayor. I intend to make a big change in this city.
1. Using the 'Gift' of the First Prince\, Prince Argenti ol Narsist. All the streets of this city will be cleaned by the (Metal Golem) who will obediently clean this city to clean from all kinds of 'Dirt'. If you really love this small town\, please show it by cleaning your own house and the area around it.
2. To boost the city's economy. There will be some training that will teach you everything you need to be able to improve the quality of your work many times
it will lead you to open a new business. The training will be held this morning at 08.00 am until 11.00 am at the dock.
3. Remember that fish and other products are not very popular. There will be a course that will teach you how to process fish and all kinds of other seafood until it becomes
a dish that even deserves to be served on the table of a King. The course will be held in the afternoon today at 15:00 pm to 18:00 pm in the town square.

Hopefully this program will make this city a new city that is liked by everyone.
A sign, your new mayor.
Baron Malika Von Verloren"
Reading the announcement, the fisherman immediately rushed to tell this to his colleagues who were still waiting on board.
The metallic figure had no face. Instead in the place where the face should be located there is a round 'Eye' located right in the middle of the head that gives off a purplish light
brightest.
While carrying a broom and other cleaning supplies, the metallic figure, totaling 50 units, simultaneously cleaned the city streets of mud and moss.
The mothers who were afraid of the foreign figure immediately hid their children so as not to meet or find the figure. As for the children who have already seen the figure immediately on pull
their parents to enter the house.
Seeing that figure was only focused on cleaning without caring about anything even when a brave young man who was awkwardly trying to touch the figure. The citizens who saw this began to think that the figure was not a dangerous Mobs.
And when someone tells you that the figure is actually (Metal Golem) under the control of their new Mayor. Then they lowered their guard. Although there is still a fear of the unknown, but the citizens of the city will not disturb the (Metal Golem) when they just do their job.
After all the townspeople read the contents of the announcement scattered throughout the city, the optimistic citizens immediately intend to follow the program planned by their new Mayor starting from
cleaning their own house. Those who are actually pessimistic but also curious still intend to follow the program of the Mayor even if just to try it. They are truly
the pessimist rejected the program and had no intention of following it.
After being betrayed and treated improperly by the previous Mayor, many of them thought that the new Mayor would do the same.
But, not a few of those who still put hope in the new Mayor because a much better life must be dreamed by everyone.
With the contents of this announcement as the main topic of conversation, the entire townspeople began to get impatient about what their new Mayor was really planning.
...
Not yet the day shows at eleven in the morning, the citizens who are enthusiastic to follow the lesson program planned by the Mayor are already crowded on the dock. Precisely in a large workshop that is usually used to make or repair ships to sea.
Seeing the residents who had gathered, Zweite who was assigned as the supervisor of this program observed the residents who had gathered from behind his mask. Beside him was Meno who was there because he was
ask Lavender as part of his training to be a good Ruler.
Together with them were two other people.
One man was a burly man wearing typical Fisherman's clothing complete with a straw hat on his head. Beside her was a young girl with long blonde hair
the undulating whole body is decorated by a wide variety of fashionable accessories of various shapes.
The burly man was named Mania while the young girl was named Asesori.
The two of them were not Locals but Otherworlders from the third wave that Lavender had brought (kidnapped) all the way from the Sanguine Kingdom.
The main reason why the two of them were brought to the Port City was none other than to become teachers tasked with teaching the citizens of the Port City about various things.
Mania is chosen because it is inversely proportional to its muscular stocky appearance, the main value of him is his brain is diluted and full of knowledge. What he will teach is the topic of business and economics to be able to make the most of the oceans.
While the reason why the accessory is chosen is because of its expertise in making beautiful and valuable accessories. In hopes of making souvenirs typical of the city of Port, he was brought here along with Mania and one more person.
"Hey, Accessories. Do you have any teaching experience?"
"If it's kindergarten then I have a lot. But if the moustache fathers are the same Mothers of the complex I never... You you?"
"Only classmates when studying groups"
Whispering to each other, the two of them looked nervous given the huge responsibility handed to them.
In the end the time showed exactly at eleven.
Going up on the stage that has been provided, Zweite's appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone.
"Consideration, thank you for taking your precious time to participate in today's lesson.
First, please note that we will not force you to follow every lesson. You're free to want to or not follow the lessons we're going to teach you"
His subtle voice made all the citizens who heard him get swept away with every word that Zweite spoke and subconsciously made them focus on listening to the explanation from Zweite more carefully.
"On this occasion, there are two lessons to be learned. That's how to produce salt and how to make accessories and other crafts"
Zweite then asked the two people behind him to come forward.
The mania that was first in the limelight looked extremely nervous which was shown by her sudden movements just becoming stiff. In contrast to Mania, Asesori seemed ordinary when all eyes were on her. In fact, he felt happy when he found out that the mothers who came to glance strongly at every accessory he wore.
"This honorable man is named Mr. Mania. He is the one who will teach you how to produce salt that is useful for preserving food makes your cooking more delicious"
When you hear that salt can be used to preserve and make food more delicious, most people get excited. Especially when they are bored with the taste of food that is so-so.
"Then, this esteemed woman was named Miss Asesori. If you want to learn how to make accessories like the one she was wearing, then Miss Asesori will be happy to teach you how
way to make it"
Just contact all the women of all ages present today showed a burning gaze.
As true Narsist Kingdom citizens, it was impossible for them to miss the opportunity to beautify themselves.
"All right, one more time. For those who want to know how to produce salt, please come to Mr. Mania. As for those who want to learn how to make accessories, please
come to Miss Asesori"
At the direction of Zweite, the residents neatly split in two.
More than half of them came to Mania. While some of the others, mostly from women, came towards Asesori.
With those who had gained their own students, the lesson began.
The accessories remained silent in the ship's workshop because all the equipment needed to make accessories were already there. The accessory only has to distribute equipment and materials to his students and
just demonstrating how to make an accessory in front of them all.
With his experience when teaching kindergarten students, the explanation given by Asesori is very easy to understand and the citizens who follow this lesson are very fond of teaching style
Assessors.
On the other hand, Mania brought the citizens who wanted to study under her towards the vast coastal area. Because it is rarely visited, making this beach is not maintained and full of garbage that is washed away by the waves
sea.
Fortunately there was already a section that had been cleaned the previous night so they could hold a lesson in that section.
It is also seen that the land there has been dug up to become plots of land that some of the plots are already filled with sea water, some of which are dry and leave only white crystals, and some of which are already dry, the rest is empty.
With all eyes on her, Mania who suppressed her nervousness tried to do her best.
...
"The response from the citizens who studied under Miss Asesori was excellent. Many of them have been able to make their own accessories and even can not wait to participate in the next lesson.
As for the citizens who studied under Mr. Mania, for reasons of difficult explanation, many of them still did not understand what he explained. But fortunately there are still residents who understand and understand the explanation given and even have been able to practice the lessons given to them"
"Good, with this morning study session is over"
Listening to the report from Zweite, I was very satisfied with the results.
Although quite a pity because there are only a few people who understand how to make salt, but it has entered into the calculation. I was surprised to learn how to
make the accessories run very smoothly.
As expected of the citizens of this Kingdom.
Satisfied with the report that Zweite gave, I turned to the figure of the woman standing next to him.
"This is a really good start. Now only cooking courses in the afternoon. Are you ready, June?"
