"What do you think, Myrd? How long will it take you to build an office belonging to the Department of Population?" Ask Ars.
After a long wait Rin judged the design Ars gave him. Rin finally decided to use the design as an office building belonging to his Department of Population. This is also why Ars has asked Hashirama to start cutting trees according to the size of the area where the building will be built.
"How long? Hmm~" Myrd muttered under his breath, "The time used varies quite a bit, Ars" Myrd paused and looked at Ars, "If I just use the labor of the workers who build one warehouse, it will take 3 days of work, if using the labor of the workers who work in the two warehouses, it will take 2 days of work time, while if using the labor of all workers, at least tomorrow it can be finished with a note I have to start today's work"
"Don't arrange all the workers under you to do this construction" Ars said, "Let the warehouse workers do the work. As for the workers who are currently working in cages. Let them stay focused on doing the work there."
Myrd nodded and then asked again, "When can I start?"
"When are you going to finish building the warehouse today?"
"This afternoon can be completed" Myrd said calmly.
"Then, after your workers have completed the construction of the warehouse, you help them to study the building of the population department so that they already know the construction design and various other things"
"I see." Myrd nodded.
"You can go back and continue your work"
Myrd nodded and immediately left the location. Ars' gaze then turned to Rin, "How many workers do you need?"
"How many? Hmm~ Wait a minute" Rin thought for a while and said, "25— No, I want 50 people working within my department"
"50 people? Are there too many?" Ars asked while frowning, "If you recruit a large number of workers, Rin. There will be workers who don't have jobs or will just be lazy. It is better to recruit the right amount so that every worker is not lazy and can do their job."
"Who says 50 people is too much?" Rin asked while hugging her hands, "That's a small amount, Ars. The building that will be used by my office has a very large size. Among the 50 workers that I want to recruit, there will be 10 of them who are tasked with assisting in building cleaning or clining service work. While 40 other people will work on the documents and others. 20 of them will work on the first floor while the other 20 will work on the second floor. That's the right amount in my opinion."
"Is that so?" Ars asked while thinking for a moment.
"Why are you being so stingy with me, Ars?" Rin asked with a frown, "Kaguya, you gave her such a great assistant. Robin has a very high intelligence and also excellent workability, Kaijin and others get 125 subordinates each who are ready to follow his orders, Isshiki and others get 225 subordinates. While me? I'm only asking 50 people you don't allow it. What-"
"Enough, enough" Ars immediately raised his hand and said, "Alright. You can recruit him. However, only 50 people. No more additional workers"
"No" Rin immediately refused, "What if there is a situation where my office has a lot of visitors who want to take care of documents? With only 40 workers there will not be enough to take care of all that. I will definitely ask for additional workers later"
"But for an office with document management like you. 50 people is quite a number, Rin" Ars said with a sigh.
"That's very little, Ars" Rin said again with a frown, "On the first floor which deals with documents belonging to the natives, among the 20 people will have their own duties, such as recording, shooting, filing, administration and others. They have many tasks. Also, in addition to having fees in the office, later there will also be workers who take care of matters outside the office, such as socialization and matters relating to teaching and promotion and others. Those 50 workers will not be enough if our kingdom is to be opened to the public. I don't agree with not adding more employees to my department."
Ars paused for a moment and said, "How many additional employees do you want later?"
Rin's eyes immediately got excited hearing this, "50. I want to get an additional 50 people later"
"That's too much" Ars immediately rejected it, "Reduce. At least 25 people. It still works"
"That's impossible, Ars" Rin said again with a frown, "25 people is too few, at least add a little. Our kingdom has an abundance of funds. In addition, later we will get an increase in funds that will be obtained through extortion against the World Government. Don't be so stingy like that, idiot!" Rin paused and continued, "I want 50 points. Otherwise, I will never move from your house and will stay at your house even if I get mine."
"This will be troublesome" Ars muttered while looking at Rin, "30 people how about?"
"Not! 50 people! It is my decision and will not be replaced!" Rin refused again firmly.
Ars sighed and knew the argument with Rin wouldn't end if it continued, "Alright. You win. 50 extra people"
Rin was very excited to hear this.
"However, with a note that you will recruit employees when your department really needs them. Otherwise, I will not approve the recruitment."
"Hmph! Don't worry, I know about it" Rin said with a smile.
"Well, apart from that too. The first type house for the current wave will be completed soon. You will get-"
"Impossible!" Rin immediately rejected him, "I won't move. Besides, right now wasn't my time to get that house. There are still people who came earlier than me. I will not move!" Rin suddenly realized with his face immediately reddened, "Don't get me wrong, Idiot! It's not that I don't want to move out of your house. It's just that, there are parties who deserve to get it first like Gin and others. You're cheating if you do that. Don't ever expect me to be happy living in your house"
"If you're not happy, why are you staying at my house?" Ars asked with a question using logic.
"You stupid! That's my business! Why are you taking care of it?" Rin asked with a frown.
"You two are like a husband and wife who are fighting." Hashirama suddenly came towards them while laughing.
"Who is a husband and wife couple?!" Ars and Rin shouted in unison.
"Wow, you two are even in unison. You two really make a perfect match" Hashirama said while laughing with excitement.
Rin's face immediately reddened upon hearing this but was quickly concealed while shifting her gaze to the side.
Ars sighed then asked, "I guess your work is done?"
Hashirama nodded, "Yes. You just need to level the ground again and then take the trees to the wood department to be processed into spa wood for use."
"Did you bring a storage capsule?"
"No" Hashirama shook his head, "I have asked my clone to go get it"
Ars nodded and immediately took out his den-den mushi then called one of them. Rin and Hashirama were quite interested in who this Ars contacted.
Communications are quickly interconnected.
"Hello, Elizabello II is here"
"Elizabelli II, it's me, Ars"
"Oh? Ars" Elizabello II's voice sounded very excited when she found out who was calling her, "What's the matter with calling me, Ars?"
"I'm sure you've heard from Rin about the construction of our kingdom's population department, right?"
"Yes. Miss Rin once said that before your departure. Has the Population Department been completed?"
"Not yet. Only the area that has been determined for construction. Tomorrow the construction of the department building will begin and will probably be completed within two days of work."
"2 days? That's pretty fast" Elizabello II said, "Do you need help with recruiting?"
"Yes. That's what I wanted to call you. Can you help me spread this information?"
"Hahahaha… That's a very easy thing to do" Elizabello II said with a smile, "When are you going to recruit and how many workers does your kingdom want to recruit?"
"Arrange recruitment on February 22nd. You have things to do tomorrow, don't you? Together with the Ryugu Kingdom and the Amazon Lily Kingdom. I don't want to disturb that time. Help me to arrange the recruitment on 22 february and the number to be recruited is 50 workers. 40 people will be recruited by assessing their academic ability while the other 10 people will be judged on home-based ability in terms of cleaning things."
"40 people? Isn't that too much?" Elizabello II asked strangely.
"I don't think it's much. I thought so too before. However, after thinking about it for a while and listening to Rin's words, I think it's a pretty good amount to operate a population department office."
"Well, if you say so. Okay. I will help to take care of this matter"
"Okay. That's all from me, you can continue your work. I know you must be quite busy right now."
"Hahaha… Don't worry. As long as you contact me, I will definitely take my time."
Ars just smiled then hung up the call again and looked at Rin, "Recruitment time will be on February 22nd. You must prepare yourself immediately."
"Hmph! Stay cool. I will definitely do it" Rin said proudly, "I should get the business trip fee as well as the payment fee, right?"
"Yes" Ars nodded, "You tell this to Kaguya and ask her to arrange your travel financing matters"
Ars then looked at Hashirama, "You help look after him, Hashirama. He will be quite troublesome later."
"Hey! What do you mean I'm quite troublesome, Ars?" Rin asked in a displeased tone.
"Hahahaha… You almost seem to have become the husband of, Rin, Ars" Hashirama laughed then said, "Don't worry, Rin is my friend. I will definitely protect him."
"S-husband?! Stupid! Who also wants this idiot to be my husband?!" Rin asked with her face red from embarrassment.
Ars just chuckled and didn't really mind Hashirama's joke.
"Well, Hashirama, Rin and I's business here is done" Ars said, "We will head back to the royal palace first. If you have any news regarding the location of the Ancient Weapon - Uranus from your clone, please tell me immediately. So that we can arrange an attack plan tonight."
"I understand." Hashirama nodded.
"Hey, Rin. Let's go back" Ars said then started walking away from the location leisurely.
"Wait fool!" Rin immediately caught up with Ars and started walking together. The two then started arguing with each other.
"The two of them are really a perfect match" Hashirama muttered, "I'm quite interested, who will be Ars' partner in the future? Rin, Kaguya, Shiina, or Iowa. Among the four of them, who will win Ars' heart? This is worth following along." Hashirama ended those words with a small chuckle.
Red Line, Upper Sky 7 kilometers from the right side of Marijoa.
"Wow! The World Government actually put ancient weapons out in the open like this? Are they really not afraid that this weapon will be discovered by the other party? I don't think that's possible. Because the World Government will definitely not allow anyone or any group to go on adventures down this Red Line area other than them" said Hashirama's clone while staring at the front where there was a very, very large iron object.
The iron object has a length of about 1500 square meters with a width of 500 square meters and the height of the iron object reaches 750 square meters. The iron object was like a large space warship.
"Is this really the ancient weapon - Uranus? It's really huge" Hashirama's clone muttered with a surprised face, "At the very least, it would take a lot of paper bombs to destroy this weapon and the bombs would have to be destroyed from the inside in order to maximize their explosive effect"
Hashirama's clone walked over to the weapon then touched the outer wall and tapped lightly, "Steel? Luckily this object was not made using sea stone. If you use it, it will be very difficult to destroy. Since it's base material is steel, it will be easier to destroy just using paper bombs especially the inside of this thing is definitely the most vulnerable part and easy to destroy."
"It's best to tell the boss about this immediately. His Majesty will definitely want to get the information right away in order to devise a plan to destroy this thing."
Hashirama's clones immediately disappeared and all experiences and things he saw were immediately sent to Hashirama.
