Chapter 128: Sofia’s Day (City Management)

Hello, Sofia's here~

I know you guys will complain again today, why a Master mistress and an unimportant character like me, suddenly taking the spotlight today?

Ma~ Ma~

Take your snack, enjoy your hot tea, and relaxes~

The next day, after master and the others, left to go to the Dungeon city Alabatrost, I woke up early in the morning like usual.

I clean myself and take a shower, changing into my working suit like I usually do.

'Umu~ perfect~ kunkunkun~'

After finishing my preparation, I left my house and walked to the Bus stop, nearby.

Yes, since the people already build public transportation, isn't it a waste if we not use it? 

Thus, the people in this city usually used public transportation to work or sightseeing rather than walking(as we had our status enhanced, walking from place to place isn't consumed that much energy).

Before long, a red bus appeared and gradually comes for the distance before stopping at the bus stop, as scheduled.

For your information, it's just an ordinary magic bus, not the levitating one.

Master said, he still can't mass-produced levitating magic car, so he just placed magic-powered ordinary buses, as a means for public transportation. 

I entered the bus while humming a cheerful tone, with a bright mood.

[Good morning~]

I greeted the driver who wore a black driver uniform. 

The driver just nodded its head- I mean its red skeleton head in return for my greeting.

What? You guys asked why I'm not surprised after seeing an undead driving the bus?

Kunkunkun~ at first, the inhabitant in this place was really surprised after knowing Master using this undead to take the menial job in the public service department.

After all, Necromancy is considered a taboo in this continent.

But after seeing that these red crystal skeletons behave docilely when seeing a living being, unlike the usual undead, the inhabitant of this city gradually accepted it and treated them normally.

These guys, they really docile and hard working.

With this guy working all day in this city we belong to, without rest, so of course, we gave them the respect they deserve!

Furthermore, with these guys' help, we can manage the city better and filling the lack of manpower to maintain the city properly.

In the end, since these guys make the life of all inhabitants in this city easier, people stop minding them being undead and accepted their existences.

But this acceptance is of course because we believe in master.

We believe he used this undead for our sake, that's why all we can do is being grateful and accept this helpful undead as part of this city inhabitant.

Anyway, there's already goblin working in the orchard and field, so mere skeletons is not surprised us that much.

Leaving that aside, after greeting the skeleton driver, I take my seat and rest my back.

Since the bus was empty like usual, I can take any seat without worry.

Ma… there are not many people living in this Grand and an Odd city which has a lot of unusual facilities in it, so we already used to this desolate feeling.

However, I believe, before long this city will be crowded with an influx of new people, and became a magnificent and grand city in the near future~

If it wasn't the case, then why master built this big magnificent city like this, right?

As I thought about this stuff, before long, the bus already arrived at its destination, the Management Office vicinity.

After paying a couple of iron coins in the box placed near the driver's seat, I get down from the bus.

Ah, maybe you guys wonder, how can I pay the fee? didn't I just a slave?

Even if I'm a slave, I still get my salary every month here.

And the sum is… extraordinary if I could say it for myself.

Even if I was free and become a commoner, I can't get a big salary like this everywhere on this continent.

Master said he planned to free all of us in the near future.

In fact, he already asked my consent about freeing me before, but I refused it.

I don't know why, there's an unsettled feeling inside my heart when he said he wanted to abolish the slave contract.

If that really happened, I feel like, a string that connecting me and Master will suddenly disappear… so in the end, I choose to keep this string for the meantime, until I was ready to face master equally.

That's why I must work hard and showed him that I'm a dependable woman that can stay side by side with him!

Not just a useless, pretty decoration.

With this conviction, I take a step and head to the grand and tall high rising building, the Management office in front of me.

Upon entering the vast and beautifully decorated lobby, I took my smartphone and opened a special app that master made, that only a management staff had, to have the symbol on the apps get scanned by the special device near the door.

With this device, we can check the attendance of the people who work at the management office.

After getting my attendance, without further ado, I take a lift to go to the most top floor, where the true management office is located.

Like usual, even though I was already used to using the Lift, but I couldn't help to admire the wisdom of the people who create this useful stuff.

Ting*

The sound of the bell from the lift woke me up from my engrossed state and made me back to my sense.

With the lift door slowly opened, I walked to the hall beyond the lift, before entering the office room with high spirit.

[Good morning~]

Seeing that there are already people who arrived in the office, I greeted them with a bright mood.

[Ah, leader, good morning~ you look bright as usual~]

[Kunkunkun~ stop with the sweet compliment and let's prepare for the morning meeting~]

[[Yes!]]

With my shout, the people started taking their own respective reports in a form of a document before entering the meeting room one by one.

Thus, the morning meeting commenced.

Inside the comfortable meeting room, the people already take their respective seats to start the meeting.

However, there's one seat with a person missing, that made me slightly frown.

[Hm? Did she take an absence?]

When I questionably said, one of the women on the nearby seat, stood up and answers me

[Report to the leader, lady Christina seems busy with the installation of slime farm on the waste station as well as the city drainage for today]

[Ahhh~ did she already begin the Slime wastage system that Master and lady Chali proposed before? Umu, I will check the progress of her work later, for now, let's begin the meeting~]

With my opening speech, each person started giving their respective report about the situation inside the city, on their respective work field.

Energy consumption report, the public service sector condition, the agricultural as well as the food and daily goods big market that master built for us to sustain, the city maintenance, the school, as well as the factory condition that master temporarily asked us to check, and many other.

For your information, in this city, the people already begin to work in a specific field depending on their specific talent and abilities.

We already have 4 blacksmiths, 6 engineers, 4 magic engineers, 4 researchers, 10 managers(like me and some of the people who work in the management office, we blessed with a side job called manager that assist us a lot to do paperwork easier), and 5 farmers who oversee the agricultural district.

Maybe it looks too few compare to the size of this city, but there are also young adults, as well as Master red skeletons that assist these people.

During the meeting, the representative of people who manage these talents as well as the people who oversee the maintenance of the city will give me a report.

If by chance there's a problem in one of the sectors or fields, we as the management office will allocate people to solve the problem, depending on the need of the talent to solve it.

Anyway, since there's no problem with today's morning meeting's report, I decided to end the meeting.

[Thank you for the respective representative for the report, since the respective field is working smoothly as usual and no problems are found, we end the morning meeting here~]

[[Thank you for your hard work!]]

The people started bowing into each other shout their grateful feeling in high spirits.

Master said we should keep the positive energy in check to make the people work with high spirit and positivity.

Thus, we created this way of a culture where people must thanking each other for the job they do.

After all, getting your work appreciated by others will make you happier and boost your confidence.

After ending the meeting, I plan to go to the Agriculture district as well as the new processed food and beverage factories.

Checking that all the people started leaving and doing their own work, a nodded in satisfaction and decided to leave the Management Office.

Taking the bus, I head to the MRT station.

Upon arriving there, I buy the ticket at the counter near the station entrance, attended by a skeleton worker.

Master said, since there are still a few people who use public transportation, he temporarily set this traditional method of buying tickets.

Even though I don't know what he means by that, I just take it that Master already planned far ahead to deal with the situation where a lot of people will live here in the future.

'As expected, Master is an amazing young man!'

With this thought, I rise my spirit once more and take the stairs up to wait for the monorail train to arrive.

In there, I saw some of the teenagers waiting for the train just like me.

By just looking at them, I know that these teenagers going to go to their part-time job in the factory.

I know their feeling well.

In this world, it's a rare that place will hire young people like them to work with a decent salary.

So I know really well, why these young-uns are this hardworking to do their part-time job.

Ah! it seems the train has already arrived.

I enter the train and take my seat near the train door.

Since there's still a time before I arrived at my destination, let's arrange the work for today!

'For today's schedule, I have to check the Agricultural district which was working on cultivating special spices that lady Chali found inside of the forest, then go to the Soft Drink Factory as well as Food processing factory, before checking the Slime farm installation project'

'If the slime is really worked at devouring the waste cleanly as Master said, then the next is the factory wastage that needs this slime farm installed'

'Kunkun! Let's work hard for today too!'

I clenched my fist as my tail unconsciously swaying in high spirit.

Looking at the fast-moving scenery from the train, a smile suddenly formed on my mouth.

In the deep part of my heart, I believe that this city will bring more happiness to the future inhabitant and being the only paradise for the unfortunate people in this cruel world!

That's why my journey is far from the end!

This is just the beginning!

I will work harder to get the place beside Master, and creating the dream place together with Master!
