Chapter 205: Francois's Visit

I bought goats from the Southern Ducal family, the family home of Francois-san, who will become my sister-in-law.

With this, I can make chèvre cheese.

I loved goat milk cheese in my original world, too.

The Southern Ducal family is rare among Albion nobles; rather than overemphasizing swords and magic, they have originally placed importance on commerce.

Therefore, they seem to have many connections with producers as well.

Tracing back history, the Siltikheim family, the Southern Dukes, was originally the royal family of another small country.

That’s why their names sound French, speaking in terms of my original world, and they have their own unique culture and ways of thinking.

Due to that background, it seems that someone blessed with the Commerce Skill, rather than swords or magic, sometimes appears in the Siltikheim Ducal family.

Recently, Francois-san confided in me that she herself is one of them.

In the Siltikheim family, when a child was blessed with the Commerce Skill, they apparently used a magic tool obtained from ancient ruins to use attribute magic and claimed it was a Magic Skill.

To prevent that secret from being exposed, if the one blessed with the Commerce Skill was a daughter, they basically did not marry.

Francois-san told me, “The reason I am able to marry is because the Fairchild family has no prejudice against the Commerce Skill, and it seemed like they would keep my secret.”

But recently, at long last, Production Skills and Commerce Skills are coming to be evaluated highly in the Albion Kingdom.

Thanks to that, it might no longer be necessary to hide it in the future, Francois-san told me happily.

Today, my brother Eddie and his fiancée, Francois-san, are coming to see the goats being raised at the farm in the undeveloped lands.

It seems Francois-san asked my brother because she wanted to see the undeveloped lands.

When I teleported to the Fairchild Margrave’s residence in the Royal Capital, the two of them were waiting for me in the reception room.

“Hey, Will. It’s been a while. Thanks for taking care of us today.”

“Brother Eddie, it’s been a long time.”

“Hello, William-kun. I’m sorry to take up your time when you’re busy.”

“No, no, you’re welcome anytime, Francois-san.”

“Well then, right away, let’s go to the farm in the undeveloped lands.”

Having the two grab the hem of my clothes, I activated Teleportation Magic.

The next moment, we were at the farm.

“Wow, it really is instantaneous. I had heard about it, but I’m surprised.”

“I was surprised at first too, Francois.”

Brother Eddie quickly supported Francois-san, who swayed the moment we teleported.

Yeah, it seems my brother and his fiancée get along well.

“Hello, Thomas. Pardon the intrusion.”

“Welcome. William-sama. And Edward-sama, Francois-sama.”

Following Thomas, who came out to greet us, we headed toward the ranch.

The goats purchased from the Siltikheim family were bleating lazily, baa~.

“The goats we purchased are doing well.”

“It seems so, William-kun. More importantly, could that be a Golem?”

At the ranch, Wood Golems were taking care of the livestock alongside sheepdogs.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Amazing. Golems can not only fight but also take care of livestock.”

“That’s right. It seems Wood Golems like taking care of living things.”

“Could you come here for a bit?”

When I called out, the Wood Golem came trotting over.

“This is my older brother Eddie and his fiancée, Francois-san.”

The Wood Golem gave a small bow to the two of them.

“My, how cute!”

Francois-san hugged the Wood Golem.

I was surprised that Francois-san, who is usually low-energy, would have such a reaction.

As expected, the Woods are cute. With this, we might be able to attract tourists.

After that, I was bombarded with questions about Golems by Francois-san.

“I see. Golems are also a valuable workforce. Even if they only listen to the instructions of William-kun and the Apostles, there seems to be no problem with them working on the farm.”

Francois-san nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“Golems are truly a revolutionary existence. If they become able to operate in various parts of the Kingdom, productivity will surely improve greatly.”

Then, while drinking tea, I talked about the town planning concept as I was asked by my brother and Francois-san.

When Francois-san heard that I would do things like relocating houses, building a cafe, and developing a sewer system using my Production Skill, she was impressed.

“It’s going to be town planning completely different from anything before. Your Production Skill will surely change this country.”
