章節 52: Gresvin's inevitable participation

"Lord Gresvin, I understand that you do not wish to partake in the management affairs of the village but I feel that it is important for me to at least report on the situation of the village." Bran tried to reason with Gresvin on the matter.

When Gresvin heard the word 'management,' he could not help but feel a headache about to creep in. It was not that he was unaware of how management works, but he found the process rather tedious. Alas, it seems that even if he did not wish for it, he would not be able to exempt himself from these tasks.

With a bitter and helpless sigh, he spoke, "Very well. I am all ears." 

Bran was pleased, and he continued to speak with glee, "Mm, well, as you may know, the trade in the village has increased by a staggering amount, and we have made more profit than ever before as a whole. Of course, 80 percent of the money will stay with the traders, but the remaining 20 percent is more than the village storehouse has ever had."
