81,

In the 501st year of the Atarsis calendar, at the beginning of winter.

After the alliance between Arlen City and the City of Dusk, the northern regions of the continent began to move towards a more peaceful and stable development.

Previously controlled by the Grand Chancellor, Arlen City had become stagnant in terms of technology and academia, deliberately restraining its rapid development.

In fact, this foresight was quite remarkable.

The death of the Grand Chancellor resulted in Arlen City regaining its freedom from the shackles of oppression.

In just a few months, thanks to the decisive and swift chain of plans set in motion by King Allen, the influence of Arlen City started to expand gradually.

Trade collaboration between the two nations had already begun to bud, but academic exchanges showed even more satisfying results.

With the assistance of Allen's advisor, Daniel, numerous scholars from the City of Dusk began to journey to Arlen City, engaging in a series of academic symposiums.

Purely academic research alone was not enough to significantly enhance the nation's strength. However, it seemed that every scholar brought to Arlen City was carefully handpicked by Daniel, and their practical technological knowledge and basic magic teachings allowed Arlen City to gradually garner a group of ambitious individuals.

Want to study new technologies?

Want to explore the world of magic?

Come to Arlen City!

This became a consensus among ordinary people.

Suddenly, Arlen City became the ideal destination for young people pursuing their dreams.

However, while every young person was diligently searching for their dreams, there was one young man lazily passing each day.

After attending the early meeting in the throne room in the morning, he tried the new dishes at a newly opened restaurant with Daniel.

Later, Daniel made an appointment with a scholar that he couldn't identify and left the young man behind.

As a result, the young man spent the day in leisure.

This young man's name was Mr. Cyclone. He was a young man later known as "the hero of Allen."

As Allen's diplomatic ambassador, Mr. Cyclone had grown accustomed to his official duties.

Because he had nothing to do most of the time, his duties involved receiving visiting dignitaries. However, whenever national-level dignitaries visited, preparations would be made throughout the entire country.

Daniel had already prepared a team of staff to take care of these matters. Although Mr. Cyclone was technically their superior, in reality, he delegated all the work to Daniel and his team.

If you ask how he could do nothing and live a life of false power every day, wouldn't he feel ashamed?

The answer is yes.

Mr. Cyclone had tried personally directing the team, but after a short period, he gave up.

Handling a large volume of paperwork and resource allocation was not something that a farmer's son who had never read a book and couldn't even write can do.

Finally, even King Allen said,

"Don't add to the problems, you fool~"

"..."

"The tasks I want you to do are not these. Just obediently go slack off for me!"

And so, Mr. Cyclone became the most idle existence in Arlen City.

"...Ugh! How boring!!"

Finally returning to his own residence, as soon as Mr. Cyclone opened the front door, he saw three maids waiting for him.

"What!? Did it arrive?!!"

One of the maids with golden ponytails answered.

"Mmm ♡ Husband~, the maid outfit you ordered... how is it?♡"

Speaking was one of Mr. Cyclone's wives, a young wand maker named Eileen.

"I didn't expect the maid outfit you ordered to be so normal. I thought there would be some lewd designs."

Beside Eileen, another girl with purple hair in a maid outfit chimed in.

"Tsk!! This outfit is for the mansion's maids, Little Dragon..."

Little Dragon, as one of the wives of Mr. Cyclone, is an Auron girl with the power of dragons.

"Master, the box you personally packed is here."

The one speaking is a true maid, a girl named Joshua, who also works in this mansion.

"Hehehe~ It hasn't been opened, right?"

"Yes, it was the master's order. The ladies are not allowed to open it."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Mr. Cyclone's two wives started to redden.

"Haha~ Your maid outfit is in here~ From tonight onwards, we will have a lot of entertainment waiting for us~ hehehe~"
