The next morning.
Renata and I returned after touring the territory. When I showed Min Jiyu a good spot, she was incredibly happy.
But my work wasn't over yet.
"Haa, why isn't reality like COC?"
If it could be finished with a few mouse clicks, my life would have been a territory management story, not a Debauched Hero story.
I headed to the training ground near the Lord's manor. There, several people stood, short like me, or somewhat lacking in appearance. All of them were people who wouldn't receive much attention in society, only negative attention. They were the kind of people anyone would ignore and pass by. But.
"That's unexpected?"
On each of their chests, four or five auras of light were shining. It meant they were individuals with this level of skill who had yet to be recognized.
I went up onto the platform and asked solemnly.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Lucian Vane, the Lord and Baron of Weaverpool, and a Hero. I have one question. Why are you here?"
