update icon Updated at 2023/6/25 0:10:12

"Alice, which aspect of reform do you think we should focus on first?" Rayshui asked, taking a sip of the freshly brewed tea, to Alice who was still eating her cake on the opposite side.

"Ugh... I'm sorry... Lord Rayshui, I don't really understand these things." Faced with Rayshui's question, Alice bowed her head in shame and whispered.

She was not proficient in managing a city at all... If she rashly proposed ideas, she might disrupt Lord Rayshui's plans...

Rayshui was so kind to her, but she couldn't help him with his troubles.

Alice... you really are useless.

"Then let's start by improving the environment," Rayshui pondered for a moment before saying.

Well, Alice is a knight. It's a little difficult for her to think about these things.

"The environment?"

"Yes, let's first improve the environment of East Tower City by building restrooms."

In this world, there was no such thing as a restroom. People would relieve themselves on the streets. The more well-mannered people would shovel the remnants to the side of the wall, which led to the roads being filled with stench.

Although the people of this world might have become used to this terrible smell, Rayshui had not. Every time he went out, he felt an urge to vomit.

For this reason, Rayshui chose to build restrooms first to improve the city's sanitation. With a good mood, he could continue doing other things.

"Restrooms?"

"It's a place specifically designed for people to solve their needs for urination and defecation."

"Oh." Alice nodded somewhat understandingly.

"I'll visit some craftsmen right away and have them start working today," Rayshui said.

At the same time, he also decided on one thing - he must recruit a few people to help him, preferably those who are familiar with East Tower City. This would save a lot of trouble.

After all, he couldn't do everything by himself.

"Okay. Please wait a moment, Lord Rayshui." Alice quickly finished her cake and then stared blankly at the fork and knife... She wondered if she should...lick the utensils clean since there were still remnants of the delicious cake on them.

But with Lord Rayshui nearby, would that be too impolite and damage her image?

"Are you finished?" Rayshui laughed. He guessed what this food-loving knight was thinking.

She is really adorable. A gluttonous, slightly foolish young girl would be quite popular in his previous world.

"Uh..." In the end, Alice gave up the idea of licking the utensils clean.

Compared to that, Lord Rayshui's matters were more important. She didn't want to delay him.

"Here, let me clean that up." Rayshui took out a napkin, went to Alice's side, and gently wiped the red lips, removing the white cream left on her mouth.

He couldn't bear to see Alice's mouth stained with white cream when they went out...

"Lord Rayshui...you've really troubled yourself..."

Lord Rayshui, a baron, was wiping her mouth for her as a knight. He even used a very expensive material for the napkin, which felt soft and comfortable.

"Let's go," Rayshui said.

He felt like he had adopted a daughter as he taught Alice about the use of utensils and wiped her mouth for her.

"Okay."

......

"Lord Rayshui, I will return your utensils after washing them," said Alice, who was closely following Rayshui on the not-so-glorious streets of East Tower City.

"No need, I'll give this set of utensils to you. It will be your exclusive set from now on," Rayshui replied after a moment of surprise.

"No! I cannot accept such a valuable gift. Lord Rayshui has already taken great care of me. If I continue like this, I will be too ungrateful." Alice waved her hands and firmly expressed her refusal while stepping back."It's not valuable at all."

"Lord Rayshui is deceiving us! Even the best blacksmiths in the Fran Empire might not be able to produce such exquisite craftsmanship."

Lord Rayshui always likes to deceive me with these gentle lies.

I may not know much about other things, but I do know about ironware like knives and forks.

Alice puffed her cheeks slightly to show her displeasure.

"Alice, do you believe me?" Instead of directly answering Alice's question, Rayshui raised his head, gazing at the clear blue sky with a sigh.

"Of course I believe in Lord Rayshui." Alice answered anxiously.

"In less than a year, I will make sure everyone in East Tower City is using these utensils."

"This..." Alice subconsciously thought Rayshui was joking, but his tone and facial expressions were extremely serious.

It seems that Lord Rayshui is really serious.

If things really turn out as Lord Rayshui said... wouldn't it leave a significant mark on Fran's history in his name?
