With a chuckle, Aragon snapped his fingers causing things clinging to the plane’s entrance to fall off.
Even if the outside is corroded, if it’s tightly secured and nothing can penetrate inside, then everything else must be fine.
Opening the plane’s door, Aragon immediately approached the sitting skeleton.
He paid no attention to the mountains of luxurious jewels and gold coins that grace his surroundings.
“Ah, sorry. I was commissioned to do this.”
As he arbitrarily touched the quill on the desk, the skeleton turned its head with a snap.
There was a blue aura in its empty eye sockets. It was the power of someone he knew.
Perhaps the reason this person was able to amass this enormous wealth was because she made a deal with him in exchange for her soul.
So what remains in the skeleton is just evil thoughts.
Aragon aimed the tip of his quill at the skeleton, which began to rattle as if trying to stop him.
“Shh. I have to write a letter to my client. Don’t be noisy.”
Then the movement of the skeleton suddenly stopped.
Attack the intruder.
It had no other thoughts than that, which is why it was trying to move, but it couldn’t.
It was because of a much thicker, heavier, and darker energy than the blue one.
A darkness thicker than the pitch-black night slithered down and encroached the inside of the plane.
It immobilized the blue energy.
Then Aragon finally finished writing the note and tied it to the ankle of the disgruntled crow.
“Deliver it. Don’t worry, you won’t get rained on.”
Caw, caw.
A crow as huge as an eagle roared and went out through the open door.
Then, like the one around Aragon earlier, a thin film blocked the rain for it.
Aragon watched the crow disappear into the dark clouds before turning away.
“I even do the cleaning, wow, my service is truly good.”
Following Aragon’s gestures, intangible energy moves.
It was a curse to kill intruders horribly.
If he hadn’t opened it first before giving it, the first person to enter it would have died with their blood pouring from every pore of their body.
Aragon hummed happily as he cleaned it.
He was excited to see that interesting lady again.

It was a fairly peaceful day, with the vassal families of Crisiona gradually disappearing out of sight.
“They are your new co-workers who will be in charge of our underwear brand, Oberon.”
In the office next to the store.
Except for the few employees that had to be in the store, everyone else congregated here.
Madame, assistants, staff, accountants and cleaners. Even children helping with chores.
I looked around my family and introduced the new members.
“She’s a designer who has worked for the Latrus and Redding families. She was fired unfairly while being held accountable for the ruined lingerie show. She worked for them for ten years but received no severance money.”
My explanation sparked a wave of rage.
Working at one place for ten years was equivalent to dedicating your life to them.
But evicting such a devoted worker for ruining a show?
It was truly morally repugnant.
“Hello. My name is Lisa. I made corsets not too long ago, but from now on I plan to devote my soul to making comfortable underwear.”
I stepped aside to allow them to introduce themselves to everyone.
The short and chubby Lisa was still grinding her teeth at the Latrus family.
“You have no idea how much verbal abuse I get from them while working there; being fat and being good at making corsets are two different things, right?”
“Yes.”
“However, every time Viscount Latrus saw me, he yelled at me to lose weight.” But he never gives me the opportunity to lose weight!”
Lisa was a very lively and funny person.
It was evident that she would become the madame of the underwear company ‘Oberon’ and get along well with the existing madame who controls the clothing line, ‘Titania’.
When I announced it subtly, madame seemed much happier, saying that she was busy just making dresses and everyday clothes.
It’s probably unreasonable to ask that underwear be added to her work. Furthermore, division of labor is necessary to live and work like a normal human being.
If so, the ‘Oberon’ line also needed a person in charge, but it couldn’t be just anyone; it had to be someone with experience.
Coincidentally, I heard that the Latrus family, who we were paying attention to, had fired their chief designer.
After consulting with madame, I quickly went and brought the fired designer to the store.
“Congratulations on becoming a madame.”
“Thank you.”
The hierarchy in a traditional clothing store was as follows:
The lowest position was an assistant. Next were the designers. Above them were senior and chief designers.
Once someone became a chief designer, their salary would change. They would become responsible for everything.
The position of “Madame” was, of course, the highest.
A position where you can open a boutique in your name.
It was at a level where everyone in the industry recognized your skills.
“This is your budget for a company dinner. I put in enough, so I hope you all enjoy your time after finishing work today.”
The boss should leave at this moment.
I took a heavy bag from my pocket and set it down on the desk.
The two madames can go out and have a meal together with the employees.
It is the virtue of a good employer to put in as much as you can and leave them all to enjoy by themselves.

On the way back to the mansion. A crow looked right at me and crowed.
“Huh?”
– It’s been like that since earlier, I tried to catch it but I can’t.
“… Really?”
-I’ve been trying to catch it since earlier, but it won’t let me.
“Oh?”
The crow slowly approached me as if it had been waiting for me. Cat, who always sat on the carriage waiting, stared at the crow with a very mischievous look.
-It’s not even worth a bite.
He must have been angry because he couldn’t catch the bird. But there was no bird that Cat couldn’t catch. I cautiously looked at the possibilities.
“Is it a crow made of magic?”
I was just talking to myself, but the crow cawed as if telling me I was right.
Then it landed on my shoulder and stretched out its foot.
