After the arrival of my family, some time has passed. My territory is growing more and more every day. With the help of the villagers, the plantations are already finished, and the only work present in that place is the watering of the crops. A good number of people have already been selected to do these tasks. Roads are also starting to be made to help the movement of carriages.
Apart from this, I am also renovating the villagers' houses. My plan is to make their houses look like apartments from my past life. When I told them the method I would use, the villagers didn't seem to be against my idea, so the houses are already being built. There is a lot of work to be done, and I had little rest in that time, but in the end, it was worth it.
To tell you the truth, it is quite fun to see the territory taking the shape I have in mind. If I had to describe the feeling, then it would be quite similar to the management games I played in my past life.
Of course, the difference is that this is the real world, while those were just games. But overall, the territory has been growing steadily and without problems. We have enough money to afford the buildings, and I also earn money steadily from my store, so we probably won't be short of money.
While I was thinking about this, I continued to sign and review documents that were on my desk. Oliver was also with me, looking at the less important documents or simply giving one last review to some that I had already looked at, trying to see if I hadn't missed any mistakes.
"All the documents are in agreement, Ren-sama"
Said Oliver after he finished going through the documents. As I had also finished signing most of the documents, I decided to take a break. I had promised Anna that I would spend the day with her, so it would be good to keep that promise.
"Thanks for the hard work, Oliver. You can rest now"
I said with a soft smile on my face. Hearing my words, Oliver nodded and stood up, leaving my office. Opening one of the drawers of my desk, I kept some documents inside before getting up and heading towards the door that led to the hallway of the mansion. As soon as I opened the door, I was met by Oliver and Anna outside. As soon as they noticed me, Anna came running towards me, hugging my waist.
"Brother, are you done yet? Can we go now?"
Anna asked excitedly while giving little jumps. While this was happening, Oliver looked at us with a soft smile on his face. This time I spent with Oliver and Hana was enough to understand their personalities. Although Oliver seems cold normally, he is quite noticeable and helpful.
"What happened?"
I asked in doubt as I looked at Oliver. Hearing my question, Oliver put a composed expression on his face before answering.
"Anna-sama was probably waiting for you to finish your work, Ren-sama"
Said Oliver. While it is true that I had promised Anna that I would spend this afternoon with her, I didn't know that she was waiting for it that long.
"Well, I have finished work, so I guess we can go now"
I said with a soft smile on my face as I looked at Anna. Hearing my words, Anna put a smile on her face.
"Oliver, prepare some cookies and some milk for Anna and take them to that place in the garden"
I said, turning my gaze to Oliver. Hearing my words, Oliver nodded before starting to walk away down the long hallway of the mansion.
"Understood, Ren-sama"
After that, Anna and I started walking toward the back of the mansion, heading towards the garden. As soon as we opened a white door made of glass, we entered an open area surrounded by flowers. A path made of stones was laid on the ground, indicating the way to follow.
"Wow, it's so beautiful"
Anna exclaimed.
As we walked, Anna always had a surprised and happy expression on her face whenever we discovered a new plant or a sculpture made of plants. She was smiling all the time, showing how much she was enjoying the place.
"Did you like it?"
I asked, looking at Anna with a gentle smile.
"Yes, everything is so lovely"
Anna replied with a big smile.
After that, Anna and I continued to admire more flowers before we reached a small open house. This place seemed to be built for enjoying snacks while surrounded by flowers. Once Anna and I sat down, we began to discuss various topics.
Anna seemed very interested in what I do, and whenever she asked, I tried to explain my jobs in a simple way. Every time I introduced something new, Anna's eyes would light up as she talked about how amazing it was.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, Ren-sama, Anna-sama. Here are the cookies and a glass of milk"
Said Oliver, placing a small plate of cookies on the table and handing a glass of milk to Anna.
"You don't have to worry about that"
I said with a soft smile. Anna happily enjoyed the cookies while sipping her milk, although it was more like hot sugared milk. As I watched Anna eat, Emi's face came to mind. It had been quite a while since I had seen her, so I was curious to know how she was doing. Classes would be starting again soon, and I would probably see her at the gym, along with Eric and Flora.
"I can't wait for classes to start again"
I thought as I gazed out into the garden with a soft smile. The cool breeze added to the pleasant atmosphere, and in the background, I could hear Anna munching on her cookies.
