It had been almost two weeks now since we’d first come to Dolkness County, and I was spending the majority of my time flying around the territory, exterminating monsters with Ryuu. I’d felt bad leaving the maintenance of the roads to Daemon, but when I’d told him that he’d just laughed and said that everyone had been assigned the jobs that most suited them.

Does that mean he thinks I’m best suited for monster extermination? I wondered. If so, I can totally get behind that.

Other than that, we’d been focused on executing expensive charitable policies, one of which was opening our food reserves to areas that were running low on supply. I mean, if they couldn’t eat bread, why not let them eat cake? Okay, we weren’t actually feeding them cake, but we could certainly pour out some money to buy them more bread. I figured that if we ran low on funds, I could always just earn more money dungeon crawling.

As a result, I’d decided to take some detours to the Dolkness County dungeon in between exterminating monsters. It was a dark-type dungeon—in fact, it was the very same one I’d used in the past to help Alicia grind experience. It was pretty unpopular, since dark magic put the other four main elements at a disadvantage, but since I used dark magic myself, my spells had always been just as effective. To put it more simply, the dungeon was close and convenient.

The same cycle went on for so long that I began to think that my job as the countess of Dolkness was just to hunt and defeat monsters—that was, at least, until another job was finally sent my way. Or rather, shoved my way by Patrick, who presumably was feeling uneasy over my being assigned monster hunting duties for so long.

My new assignment turned out to be making courtesy calls. Basically, I was to visit the towns and villages of Dolkness County and introduce myself as the new countess. There was just one problem: I was absolutely terrible at stuff like this.

I thought we were assigning the right people to the right jobs! I thought mournfully.

“I’m telling you, things like this always turn out the same with me,” I told Patrick as I prepared to head out. “Everyone always hates me.”

“Why do you say that?” Patrick asked kindly, noticing how down I was feeling. “It’s not like you to be so pessimistic.”

I sighed. “I just think I’m easily misunderstood. And I’m not the most social person either.”

“You just realized that?”

It was the incident with the mansion’s servants the other day that had really driven things home for me. I mean, the only people I could actually manage to have a proper conversation with other than Patrick were Daemon and Rita! I might be able to get along with Rita’s sister, Sara, too, but I still wasn’t quite sure about her.

Even beyond that, I couldn’t even walk around Dolkness Village without people either grimacing at my black hair or running away screaming once they realized who I was.
