Work... Organisations and the Demon's Antics

Later in the day, after three in the afternoon, I finally set off to work where I would be managing the end of day business and directing the industries of the city. 

Speaking of the city, it was due for a new name and when i arrived at work this was on the tongues and lips of all the staff. Several options were being considered, among them being Rimuru. It was the original name from the anime and light novel but apparently there was one that everyone loved. 

"Tempestus sounds cool!"

"I know right... Souei-dono is certainly a wise man. Do you think he'd go out with me?"

"Of course he would! You are a beautiful woman with a stable job and supple breasts."

"Stop teasing me...!"

Giggles resounded from the staff members who passed me by. They hadn't noticed me as they spoke to one another. I chuckled at their antics but was more surprised by the fact that Souei had come up with a name and that it was gaining more traction than the name Rimuru. Slowly walking through the halls between offices I got several saluted from military guards, the salutes themselves being a fist slamming onto their chest-plates. 

Responding to each one as I went, the wind of the plains slowly drifted through open windows. Said windows showed vistas of the city that would have been inconceivable just two months ago. An aqueduct ran adjacent to the landscape of the forest, tall medieval buildings surrounding the foundations of said aqueduct. Sprightly coloured banners, paints and signs adorned many a-house and business. Distant dins of citizens moving about their activates hummed through the halls of the Governmental building. Repairs to the city were under way and a lot of jobs were being created by the government to return some segments to their former glory. In fact, in many cases, those areas were being monumentalised and fought over by building contractors and the more affluent members of society.

The rich weren't the only ones to be given the opportunity though as many people were offered work for their skills, the payment of their work being a stipend for day to day living and the ownership of a house in one of these new districts. Still we retained the need for vertical expansion over horizontal, emphasising our technologies in such a space...

Stepping into my office with such thoughts fresh on my mind, I took off my coat and sat down at my desk. Stacks of papers were overflowing from every corner of my desk as I sat. Then, one by one, I began to sort it all out and sign what needed to be signed. meaning that it was done within ten minutes, my spell and my newly established capacities making the work light. Now I was just left to my devices.

Some of the paper work had been about creating some departments for tracking corruption and malpractice within the workplace... Which I signed immediately and outlined their codes to work by. Evidence would be needed, Investigators would need to be hired from the poorest of citizens so that they couldn't be bought out by the rich; This is assuming that the Government is giving them a large salary, which we will. From there I made sure the rules were simplistic and could be changed in future depending on what would develop. Magic made some things a lot more complicated in governance as things could be hidden more, thus both of these organisations also had funding towards the hiring of Magically adept people.

"Ruphia."

"Yes Silviana?"

She phased up through the middle of the floor and watched on eerily, a small smile covering her face as she looked at me. Her doll-like face was completely emotionless as she smiled, butterflies swimming within my stomach for scant a second or two before I gained control of myself.

"These two organisations. Retain a gaze on them, if there is any fishy business, you have full jurisdiction to hunt the corrupted and bring them to the courts."

"Mhm... And, if they act... Naughty...?"

"Simply capture them and hand them over to the police force. Do not, and I repeat, do not, hurt them or kill them, or torture them..."

"You ruin all my fun and It hasn't even started yet...!"

"Just, go..."

"Fine. But you have to set me up on a date with that Souei, he has been dodging me ever since I first met him!"

"..."

My silence seemed to be her signal to leave as she simply faded away into the floor and disappeared from sight. Her attitude was like that of a cat's, she disliked doing non-lewd things and constantly engaged in innuendos, no matter who was in the room. Closing my eyes from the minor migraine that had just started because of her being who she is I soon felt the door open and some Demonic magic once more. 

"Diablo, i know you're there. Just show yourself..."

"This is not fun anymore, you see through it. Every time."

"What is it?"

I glanced upwards and spotted the yellow-eyed demon smile at me, enjoying the minute amount of suffering he was causing me. 

"I have a message from Rimuru-sama, he wishes for you to choose a name for the city and to also be at work sooner tomorrow."

"Fine, tell him I agree. Also tell him that the name will be what Souei suggested, people like it..."

"Very well. If there isn't anything else Silviana-sama?"

"Go, go, before you give me an even larger headache."

He smiled as he left, his form also vanishing into shadows. Funnily enough I could still see him in the shadows due to my Dark Reaper Ultimate Skill, his death aura shown to me clearly. I slumped my head to the desk and began to contemplate different things that I could implement. The agricultural district was booming with my new powers being thrust upon the nature. The material trees were growing so many resources that we had begun to export some of them to Dwargon and Eurazania, wine being bought in recompense from Carrion; Stimulating both economies. 

Normal crops were in such abundance that numerous tribes and unknown species within the forest began to clamour to gain position within the nation. Other towns were also exploding in population as the Lizardmen's home was now a thriving town that was producing a lot of rice and bricks, magically hardened and produced mud being used in construction and and different projects around the nation. There was an entirely new town founded near the river that split the west and east of the forest of Jura. It was currently known as River-Town, a simplistic name used in stead of an official one. Produce was lacking within this said town but trade certainly wasn't as it had a direct link with the ocean to the south east of the forest and also connected Dwargon to us by more than just land. 

Geld had recently finished the aqueducts and moved onto making professional roads between each town. The project was just beginning but in less than a month it was considered that the roads would be finished and the Orcs could be put to work on more unique or varied tasks. Speaking on advancements, Kaijin had also started to work on his version of firearms, basing it off of the compounds and ideas relayed to him by the video I had shared. It was shaky at best now, but I could see that in the near future the artisan guild would be able to produce basic muskets and rifles for the military's use. This was a pipe dream of course, considering that they did not have a lot of the modern facilities to make such materials safely. Magic sort of made up for it, but was a chaotic element to add within a refined process.

'That's my next focus then... Education...!'

...

Several hours later I finished a proposal to create an Academy/University for Tempestus. It was simplistic at best and needed to be ironed out more in the coming days, but it would ultimately even the playing field between different groups of people, allowing every one have equal access to education. 

We had already set out with this in mind and currently had several pre-schools and High-Schools open to the public. There was no cost to the education and it was purely based upon societal necessities; Mathematics, Language, Magic and Life Skills. parents were confused at the need for a while until they realised that this would allow them more alone time, giving them all an instant incentive to enrol their kids into the schools. Naturally I didn't want political ideology spreading within the schools and such so I decided to make the schools completely free and make it so that they are automatically paid by the Government and can't gain more money unless the Government agrees in a 70/30 majority. Then, I also added some parts about parents, in sufficient number, being able to change these things themselves if they signed petitions. Essentially, I had made the system as incorruptible as I could think of at the time.

It may have its issues and I may have some oversights, but this was also being worked on by Rimuru, Shion, Shuna, Benimaru, Hakuro, Souei, Rigurd and every one else besides. Now, with this I would be introducing a educational institution funded by the Government that brought complex education on business law, governmental law, judicial law, etc... Then medical practice, surgery, etc... All of this would be created by me who essentially had most if not all of my past world's knowledge crammed into my supercomputer-like brain.

Now I just needed to get it passed with the others in the Government. It wouldn't be an issue because me and Rimuru are Demon Lords in power and title, but still, the system was made the way it was so it could work on its own without our constant monitoring and assistance. We have lives we want to live too...

"Silviana-san! Help meeeee.....!"

I heard Rimuru's voice and used a spell from DND called Arcane eye. Within nano-seconds I was watching his current location... Where he was buried under piles of paper-work, with new people coming to drop paper work for him every minute.

"THE PRODUCE REPORTS CAME INNNNN.... IT WON'T ENDDDD....."

Facepalming I slowly dispelled my spell and got up. My migraine worsened in less time than it would take for light to travel one centimetre. Not actually, but it felt like it.

'Fucking paperwork... No wonder some leaders become genocidal...'

|That's a dark joke...|

'Shut the fuck up, paper work feels worse than war crimes, okay!?'
