Royal Capital Ribek south side.
I was walking along with a young man and looking around the area.
This man's name was Erasto (TN: this is an actual name). He was a citizen of Ribek and someone who lived around here.
Soon after I returned to Ribek I had accepted Erasto's petition and came here.
「Certainly, this place has become disorderly.」
The sight before my eyes were buildings that looked like they were placed haphazardly.
The street between them meandered pointlessly.
If you entered from outside of Ribek you'd end up twisting and turning so much you wouldn't know where you had been and where you had to go.
At this point it nearly had the feeling of a slum.
「Yes. This region is mostly from before you began your reign. These buildings are new constructions from Your Majesty, but they were constructed in the exact same places as before. Furthermore, they were built quickly one after another so it turned out like this.」
「I see」
「This is very troubling. If people enter from the south and attempt to reach the center or the north…they'll get lost for sure. Plus transport will take more time than necessary.」
Erasto spoke youthfully with unpracticed polite speech.
I could easily imagine what he was saying.
In summary…there was no main road.
There were many winding paths and it became easy to get lost.
In the early days where even obtaining food was difficult it didn't matter…but in current times it had become an issue.
We reached a small plaza where a number of citizens were waiting.
I looked over.
「These are the people living around here?」
「Yes」
Erasto spoke as their representative.
「These are the people who wish to request help from Your Majesty.」
「I see. We need to redevelop it, put it on a grid, and name the road. Oh yeah, we recently developed an asphalt like thing so we'll used it.」
「I don't know about the last thing, but thank you very much!」
「「「Thank you very much!!!」」」
The citizens all spoke up.
「We're always grateful for your work Your Majesty!」
「「「We're grateful!!」」」
「Don't worry about it. They're homes that we made with the DORECA so redeveloping is easy. I'll send my slaves over here. So we can finish things quickly you'll need to take the things not made by the DORECA outside.」
「Understood! ……..umm, Your Majesty?」
He'd spoken up spiritedly but soon after he spoke with hesitation.
「What's wrong?」
「It's about the slave-sama…….but could you possibly send your First Slave…..please?」
「Risha? Why?」
「Please!!!!」
Erasto said with incredible force as he bowed.
Why all of a sudden? I wondered when…
「「「Please!!!!!」」」
