My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 767

I talked to Ms. Anna about hiring

“Uh…you seem to know a lot about bestkin, Ms. Anna.”

“No, not at all. It’s just that you hear things when working in this place for so long. Ah, sorry for getting side-tracked.”

“No, it’s fine. Uh, I know that not that much time has passed since we last visited. But are you still full here?”

“Well… A few of the older ones have finally left after finding jobs. But we are still quite full. Of course, there are also more children being sent here. We do our best to accommodate them, but…”

“Children come here?”

“Yes. They often come from the slums. …Ah, thank you, Lyra. Yes, one day, I wish to see them all doing well, like you.”

“Oh, I have a long way to go. But I will work hard for Mr. Takumi and Liza.”

“Thank you… Yes, Ms. Lyra is doing very well with us.”

Ms. Anna looked at her with kind eyes. I suppose she was like a mother…

“Hmm, Lyra? But shouldn’t you say that you are working hard for Lady Claire? You are a servant of her house, after all.”

“As for that, it is fine. Lyra is now working for Mr. Takumi. Though…they are still living in the mansion.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. We are going to be starting something new in Range village soon. And I asked Ms. Lyra to come with us.”

“I see…”

Ms. Anna smiled at the news.

I was surprised that she wasn’t a little more concerned about me being a reliable employer.

After all, working for Claire would probably be a big priority for most in that position.

Regardless, it did not mean much at the moment, because we were all still living in the same house.

“On that note… We were thinking about hiring a few people from here as well.”

“Hiring children?”

“No, not children. I assumed there were people here who are adults but have not been able to leave yet…”

“Yes. There are a few… Right now, they help keep the place running. Which is a big help, since there are so many children…”

“I see…”

So it might be rather difficult then.

“Well, you wouldn’t want them to leave then.”

“I am sorry. But…if it was just one or two…”

“I suppose that will have to be discussed carefully? Also, how do you feel about having a few children working as well?”

“Indeed…”

Ms. Anna thought with a serious expression.

“I understand that you would be concerned with the idea. However…”

“Mr. Takumi. It is not like the people here are strictly against it.”

“Is that so?”

It seemed like getting some of the older ones out in order to make room for new children would be preferable.

Sebastian then added his explanation.

“It is not very common within the duke’s lands. But it is more common in farming villages. Obviously, it is only light work, and nothing like what adults do.”
