I Received the list of potential employees

“Mr. Takumi, here is the additional list.”

“Thank you. But why are there two?”

After we finished eating dinner, Sebastian approached me and handed me two stacks of paper.

They were thicker than the list he gave me last time. One of them was almost the size of a book.

“One is a more detailed version of the previous list. And the other…the larger one, is a list of the people you will be interviewing. Of course, keep in mind that some people are on both lists. You don’t have to look through the entire thing, but I would appreciate it if you gave it a look before meeting them.”

When I looked through the pages, I saw that it contained some of the servants, like before. But there were also others as well. Also people who couldn’t come to the interview.

There seemed to be a hundred pages in all. And each page was filled with information on the person.

Though, things like their age and gender was one thing. But why did it have their height and weight as well? That did not seem necessary.

As I looked through the list and drank tea, Sebastian brought out another stack of papers.

“This one’s for you, Lady Claire.”

“Me?”

“Of course. As you and Mr. Takumi are in charge of different things, you will also be hiring different people. So you must also consider what kind of people to gather together.”

“I see. Thank you, Sebastian. Still…surely this is too much?”

Her list was even thicker than mine. I wondered where it had even come from. And then I saw that one of the butlers was rubbing his wrists. I suppose he had been holding it.

“And yet I have done my best to narrow it down. Still, when a duke decides to hire employees, it attracts a lot of attention.”

“While I have hired from the orphanage, I have never done anything like this before. It is quite refreshing.”

“As you will be negotiating, you should have people to help you. I think you should ask Mr. Kalis for advice later on.”

Claire was the duke’s daughter and had a good reputation, so it was no surprise that people would want to work for her.

It would probably pay well, and she was so pretty.

Wait… Speaking of pay…

“…Excuse me, Sebastian. I was wondering…how much should we be paying these people?”

“Hmm…I was thinking that you would decide that yourself, while discussing it with your butler. Still, I suppose I should explain it to you simply.”

“Yes. I already pay Nick and Milina, so I understand the system. But I am not sure how much would be best…”

Nick was working seriously at Mr. Kalis’s store, and even helping customers. And so I was paying him a little extra.

As for Milina, she was mainly working for Claire, but she also helped with the medicine as part of her training. And so I paid her a little as well.

Once she started her work officially at Range village, I would pay her a proper salary…

Sebastian said it was not necessary to pay an apprentice too much, since she had a free room and meals.

Still, when it came to hiring other people, I did not know how much to pay. There would be various jobs, some more demanding than others.

And I was going to have a butler too.

I did not want to be stingy, or act like a black company.

…They should not have to feel anxiety about being paid for overtime, or being worked at the expense of their health like I had…
