Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

Chapter 83: Kiss Of Death [1]

Actually, I had no intention of returning either.

If I hadn't found evidence of Skyler's crimes, he would have been held back for at least another half a year. Deliat still needed my touch.

Isn't that true? Imagine a new governor taking office in this situation.

"If I don't put some safeguards in place, things will go back to being a mess like before," I thought.

Now that there's a lot to exploit, they're going to want to make a good living out of it.

I can't allow one of my accomplishments to be treated like that.

I had to put the system in place so that it could run properly no matter who sat in that seat. Of course, that would require the Emperor's help.

"The governor's powers must be limited."

That can be done after everything is in place. For now, it was important to increase the capacity of the Deliat Autonomous Region.

"Come to think of it, there was a problem with the Duke's order too?"

As I sat in the carriage, lost in thought, a memory from a while ago suddenly came to mind. I think it was when I was looking at the employee management window.

Didn't more than 30% of people who went to work during the day take a break?

It has since recovered somewhat but is still frequent. About 20% of the time is always spent playing.

"How can that be?"

If I move according to the work schedule I created, there will be no loss of manpower.

The problem is that I can just go and check. But I still checked the staff management window. Because of the Emperor's orders, the situation in Deliat also became very critical.

"Kuro should do well."

When I first met him, I thought he was some kind of empty-mouthed dreamer. Why aren't there people like that?

This is the talk of a fool who blames his own failures on external factors.

But Kuro was the type who was ruined because the world was so cruel. No one knew that the country of Deliat would be so obsessed with the empire.

"Oh? He's already gone south?"

Stay connected with m-v l|e'm,p| y- r

Currently, Kuro has arrived in Lapitan, a small kingdom in the southern part of the continent.

It's similar in size to the Duchy of Crawford, so you'll be able to see some nice gains. Wherever you go, health supplements and toys are in the spotlight.

"Brothers are more capable as a pair."

I closed the staff management window with a satisfied smile. Because I had finally arrived at my sweet home, the Duchy of Carriers.

"It's been a long time, Your Majesty."

As soon as I got off the carriage, I heard a welcoming voice. It was the general butler, Miller Xavier, who came out to greet me at the entrance of the mansion.

Looking at his brightly smiling face, he seemed quite happy. I shook his hand briefly and looked around.

"It's so quiet. Where did everyone go?"

"Ah, that's... There's something you need to see first."

The face of Butler Miller Xavier darkened for a moment. It wasn't hard to guess that something was wrong. Because I had already noticed some strange movements in the staff management window.

"Let's go."

"Yes, please come this way." Butler Miller Xavier guided me to the staff quarters.

It was originally a small communal house built near a barn. But the size of the place had more than doubled from before.

"I guess you've been working hard."

"Haha! It took longer than expected to meet the requirements Your Majesty mentioned."

I asked for a sturdy brick house with no noise between floors or walls. Although it is public, it is equipped with a neat back room and bathing facilities.

Typically, the houses of the common people of this era were made of rough, low-quality wood. In addition, livestock was often raised on the first floor. It was to prevent theft and share body heat.

"There are many people who don't even have that."

In fact, even if you only had that much, you would be considered to be living quite well among the common people.

Most of them lived in shacks that were barely large enough to lay down their bodies.

Homeless vagabonds would buy coffins and sleep in them with their sleeping bags. It was much better than being homeless.

If it's so cold that you freeze to death, you'll be buried there.

So the Duchy of Carriers was like heaven.

Although they don't own the property, i provide such great accommodations. But why on earth do 20% of workers keep taking breaks?

"A few weeks ago, one person started to get sick, and the disease spread quickly. So for now, we just quarantined them."

"Ah...."

As the weather gets colder and drier, our immune systems tend to weaken.

Just because the accommodations were so nice didn't mean they wouldn't get sick.

On the contrary, these types of communal housing were vulnerable to infectious diseases. Because we constantly encounter people as we live.

It could be said that the homeless people living in coffins were actually safer. It's a life that is automatically isolated.

"What disease is it?"

If it was just a simple cold, it would have gotten better in a week or so. But it's been like this for three weeks already.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was almost like a plague.

"Do you know what the disease is?"

"It's called the kiss of death... There are all sorts of symptoms, but the chills are particularly bad."

"Is there a cure?"

"Maybe because we kept them warm, they didn't die. The problem is that no one has fully recovered."

"What did the doctors say?"

Doctors in this era were either priests or magicians. But the latter case was extremely difficult to meet.

This was because the location of the tower was far from civilization. Midway up the snow-capped mountains of the northern continent, beneath the thousand-foot cliffs of the southern mountain range.

This is the representative place, but how can you get there?

Of course, the church took priority. Because it's much more accessible. Butler Miller Xavier shook his head with a bitter expression.

"All the priests are out of town, so they said they can't send any priests here."
