Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

Soon, the corridor was filled with people who came to greet Lyon.

The accompanying soldiers subconsciously tightened their guns, after all, there were too many people.

Lyon saw a large number of people rushing towards him and couldn't help but worry about a stampede.

He hurriedly stopped them from coming over.

"My fellow countrymen, I am here today just to see how you are doing. There is no need to make such a big fuss. I will visit each family one by one. Everyone, go home first!"

After hearing what Leon said, everyone was reluctant to leave, but they still went home.

Lyon heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

After all, if a stampede occurs because of me, I would feel guilty.

The soldiers responsible for protecting Leon breathed a sigh of relief.

The gun was almost raised just now!

Because when Captain Reinhardt left the house, he repeatedly told us to protect the Duke.

Last night, the Duke was knocked down, and he and his brothers were also criticized.

So this time we must be wary of anyone who approaches His Excellency the Duke.

After everyone returned home, Leon called the apartment manager and asked about some situations. He planned to visit the poorest families.

Leon arrived at the door of a house on the second floor.

This family is a family of five.

But they live in a two-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.

Although the apartment is free to stay in, Lyon still has policies in place.

The fee is waived in the first year, and starting from the second year, monthly installments are paid based on the area of ​​the house.

The total price of a two-bedroom, two-living room apartment is 120 silver coins.

A worker's monthly salary was around 10 silver coins.

Each household only needs to pay one silver coin per month, and the payment can be made in ten years.

Moreover, it is generally impossible for a household to have only one laborer.

It's basically charity.

But there are still many people who cannot afford this silver coin.

Leon calmed down and knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong"

"Squeak~"

The door opened a small gap.

A small head popped out from inside.

A pair of smart eyes explore the world outside the door.

"Hello, little sister. We are sent by the Duke to learn about your family's situation."

Leon spoke softly.

The little girl looked at Leon in his military uniform, and then looked at the soldiers following behind him.

The little brain was working at high speed.

My mother said that these big brothers in military uniforms are all good people!

The little girl made a quick judgment and opened the door.

"Brother, my mother is sick. The apartment manager said that we have to start paying the fees next year, but my family can't afford it..."

As the little girl spoke, she lowered her head.

"why?"

Leon squatted down, touched the little girl's head and asked, and found that the little girl's hair was dry and yellow, and her face was also yellow.

"Mom has been lying in bed for more than a year. The pastor said that she will never be able to get out of bed again..."

As the little girl spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing.

"What about your parents?"

Leon took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiped the girl's tears, and asked.

"My father was taken away by an angel a few years ago, and my mother is the only one left at home to support us..."

For the first time in all these years, someone was willing to listen to the little girl's family story. Her emotions were finally released and she poured out all at once.

"How old are you this year? Isn't there five people in your family?"

"I am 9 years old and I have an older brother, an older sister and a younger brother."

The little girl said in a low voice.

"Where are your brothers?"

Leon asked.

"They went to clean the house for the noble master and will not be back until the evening. My brother has a fever and fell asleep..."

said the little girl.

"Cleaning for a nobleman? How much a day?"

"Three copper coins per person per day..."

The little girl lowered her head and said.

Leon almost went berserk when he heard this.

"How old are your brother and sister?"

"My brother is 14 and my sister is 16."

Leon sighed after hearing this.

A long way to go!

Suddenly Leon shuddered, he remembered something and asked hurriedly.

"You said your brother had a fever? And fell asleep?"

The little girl was a little confused, then nodded.

"Have you taken any medicine? Or have you consulted a priest?"

Leon asked.

"No, I've always gotten over fevers this way before, and my family doesn't have the money to hire a pastor..."

The little girl whispered.

Leon didn't have time to think about it and walked into the house.

The apartment was very clean and tidy, and it was obvious that it was cleaned very diligently.

Leon then asked.

"Which room is your brother in?"

The little girl brought Leon and the others into a small compartment.

This compartment is converted through the corridor.

Leon didn't think too much about it and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw a dying little boy.

Leon touched the little boy's forehead and found it was extremely hot.

"Your brother has such a high fever, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Leon said helplessly.

The little girl was a little confused, because according to the pastor's teachings, fever was a punishment from God and she had to rely on herself and not on others.

For the first time, Leon felt so powerless in this world.

Without saying anything more, Leon took a tablet of antipyretic medicine from this world from the medic's medicine box and gave it to the little boy.

Although the little girl was a little worried, she remembered what the soldiers had done in the past few days and knew that they would not harm her brother, so she did not stop them.

"I'll come again tomorrow, and if your brother's fever hasn't subsided, I'll bring him some medicine."

Lyon left a few antipyretic pills and asked a soldier to go back to the Duke's Palace to bring some food. Lyon stayed here for dinner tonight.

The little girl's family was malnourished, so Leon could only do the best he could.

After giving the antipyretic medicine, Leon came to the living room. There were only a few pieces of furniture in the living room, and there were signs of someone sleeping on the simple sofa.

Leon didn't show any disgust and sat down.

He asked the little girl to inform his mother. After all, if he went in directly, there might be an embarrassing scene, so he wanted to notify her in advance.

Lyon looked at everything in this small apartment and found that there were still many things worth doing!
