Card collector from different worlds

When Kim Noisuke appraised the sword, it was labeled the Pendragon Sword.

(Wasn't it an anonymous sword?

That's what I thought, but Iol said the appraisal didn't go through in the first place.

(I mean, this is the real name?

"What's wrong?

"... hmm? No, think of it as a good sword."

"Really? I thought it was for etiquette, so can you actually use it... Hate I can't judge, are you sure that's okay?

"Oh... of course."

"Okay. Then I'll register you. Unnamed Sword... Owned by Kim Noisuke and"

"I guess it's over. Let's get out of here."

That is what Kim Noisuke said and encouraged Iol.

In the days that followed, Kinosuke spent teaching me recipes for pills and training with Elev and other soldiers using the sword he received.

For Kinosuke, who likes to move his body, it was a great opportunity to train with Wang Du's soldiers, but the soldiers he dealt with seemed to disagree.

Anyone who works for the Royal Palace naturally knows the story of standing trial as King of Lyudmila.

Therefore, the presence of Kinosuke in those who work in the royal palace became a unique one.

Even though he was a civilian, he became king and, along with his selectors, made Lyudmila the throne.

The feat is too great to treat as an anonymous cardi hunter.

Absolute walls of identity also exist to treat them in the same line as nobility.

And many were interested in the existence of Kim Noisuke himself.

The aristocratic society wobbled greatly over who had sent Kim Noisuke as the king and immediately moved to take him in as soon as he knew he would not have any back shield.

Kinosuke, who was disgusted by the contact of such people, thought it was time to leave this place, but due to two circumstances he was still unable to leave.

One is Lyudmila's request for help.

As for myself being tried as a king, it's a hard story to say no.

"I miss the royal palace so much. This will not raise the next generation of officials, and the royal palace will become increasingly isolated from the people. What's the matter?"

This is because of the First Prince.

There is also anxiety that you do not know what will happen when you are by his side, and many nobles have taken their feet away from the royal palace, and that continues even now.

Those who, on the other hand, have rubbed against the First Prince are now under harsh interrogation.

Thus only the well-informed and former neutrals worked in the royal palace, and the situation was completely different from that of the royal palace that Lyudmila knew.

"Shall we at least let people come to the Imperial Castle?"

On behalf of Lyudmila, who is still unable to move out of bed, Kinosuke did some work.

One is the cleaning of a remote facility.

There is an institution where a noble brother once came to learn from the royal palace lived.

Kim Noisuke hired people to clean it and then free the people of the compartment that included it.

The liberated compartment was within the royal castle and left unclosed.

It was made available to everyone free of charge.

Even though it was within the royal castle, it was quite far from the royal palace, and it was a corner where many people working in the royal palace lived, so it could be executed without any slight opposition.

"Why would you do that?

Kim Noisuke replied with a laugh to Lyudmila, who asked in wonder.

"I guess tourist destinations. You can't visit the royal castle. Hopefully this will eliminate the border between the castle and the town at all... and for some reason, there are few public facilities in the national territory."

One of the things Kim Noisuke wondered about was that in the ethnic territory, compared to the Dwarf territory, there was little awareness of creating public facilities.

For example, there is no such thing as a park on human soil. There are several in each town on Dwarf territory.

Likewise, there was no facility for anyone, like a public and private building.

Even if it did, it was an individually owned, commonly liberated building, not a public facility in its original sense.

Kinosuke's first library in the world was actually privately owned. Someone was just offering a collection of books that I stopped using.

I only wondered "is that what it is" when I learned about it later, but the idea changed as I spent time in Dwarf territory. It still seems futile at first sight, but he said that each town needs facilities where people can gather.

The liberated compartment was originally an institution for studying various disciplines such as knowledge, etiquette and history, so it is well equipped as a library and assembly center. Besides, the good landscape was coupled with the fact that it was also available as a park and a little promenade.

"Kinosuke, do you have a minute?

One day, Lyudmila asked.

"What?"

"I want you to look at this and give me your opinion."

The material given by Lyudmila is data on transactions between the ethnic territory and the Dwarf territory.

It was prepared by Lyudmila on the basis of material previously brought to Chairman Rasni's clerk, which makes it easy to understand the flow of money and supplies about the distribution between the two countries.

"I don't know how hard this is for me. Whatever. He's a stroke."

"What is that stroke?

"Hmm?... Oh, I guess it's called the name of someone who's barely studied professionally"

The inhabitants of this world can read, write, calculate, etc., in general. Therefore, even if there is an advantage that Kiyonosuke has studied in Japanese schools for nine years, it can be said that there is little difference in daily living levels.

"I just want your opinion. It's not difficult. I want you to tell me anything you think the other way around."

"Rikai"

Kim Noisuke glanced at the material.

Slowly read the material one by one.

Before I came to this world, I looked at drawings, blueprints, order slips, delivery notes, etc., every day.

There are parts of knowledge that have become professional idiots biased towards architectural relationships, and they are not educated in high school in the first place.

Still, it didn't seem bad, and Kim Noisuke could understand the problems with what was written in the material.

"... there's no benefit to the people's territory if we keep this up."

"Right?

"Why is this happening?

"Capital is different. There are a lot of different sizes... but when packed, the national power is different. That's why wealth is pouring out more and more. I want to do something about this."

What is written in the dossier is the goods and their distribution handled on Dwarf and human territory, beginning with the amount of tax paid.

Kim Noisuke pointed out the problem again.

"Suppose the Dwarf merchant brought the craft to the people's territory and traded it for a bag of grain. I don't usually barter and pay with Al, but it's a hassle, so I'm going to say it's worth it. … so the merchant can return to his country to exchange a bag of cereals for two crafts. Two bags of cereal when you bring it straight to the people's territory... so you can exchange it for four crafts when you get back to your country. This is tough."

It seems often that the species are not good at it, with people who are good at farming and Dwarves who are good at processing, elves who are good at collecting into beasts who are good at hunting, and specialties as export items.

In the people's territory, crafts and cereals are traded in the same amount, and in the Dwarf territory, they are traded in one cereal for two crafts.

Then, when the Dwarf merchant goes back and forth two times during the year, one of the original crafts will turn into four crafts. It is quadruple indeed.

In the case of two round-trips the following year, the number will be sixteen crafts.

Only a Dwarf merchant can make money from this, and if a human merchant tries to make money, he must go to Dwarf territory with his own grain.

But that number is overwhelmingly low, and the number of Dwarf merchants coming is high.

That is the difference between Lyudmila's stated capital and size, he said.

As a business, whichever merchant comes, distribution is fine because it will form, but not as a country.

Because once a year, taxes paid from self-cards don't come into the people's territory for what Dwarf merchants make.

Supplies spill out of the country and no taxes come in.

While this makes the country poor.

"Speaking of which, you're not putting tariffs on it."

"What's that tariff?

"You tax goods when they cross the country. Right... I only get paid to export grain to the Dwarves, for example. It seems difficult to calculate how much money you will get for a bag of grain, but tax merchants to an extent that they don't dislike it"

"Hmm... collecting it on your own and it won't be a problem?

"We need to be well informed, and I think we need a framework to protect our country within common sense. Especially poor now."

Kinosuke's company went to Southeast Asia to buy and sell materials.

When purchasing from the other side, you get the item cheaper for the lower cost of labor, even if you deduct the cost of transportation. Such materials can be picked up almost tax-free.

Instead, I remembered that steel products and so on were subject to marginal tariffs.

Probably something like groceries, close to life, would be subject to higher tax rates.

Then, as far as Kim Noisuke knew, he explained the taxes to protect his country.

Lyudmila seemed to understand its usefulness and was wondering whether it could be introduced, to what extent there was rebellion, and what the cost would be.

"There are only fourteen paths leading to Dwarf territory. It's possible to set up a precinct for all of it... I see. Think about it."

The merchants would agree if it was a convincing amount.

But I don't think that's the only way the economy's going upwards. It would be a modest revenue increase, but I can't say the whole country is going to be moist.

Still, such a small pile could be a stumbling block to recovery. That's what Kim Noisuke thought, giving him the knowledge and problems he just knew.

And another cause of Kinosuke's inability to leave the Wang capital… is Eileen's existence.

"I brought you books from the Puppet King era today."

Eileen urged Kinosuke to sit on the couch and sat on top of it herself.

Kiyonosuke is just dressed up holding Eileen in her lap.

Soon after recently, Eileen comes to visit Kim Noisuke.

Eileen was surprised that Kim Noisuke was ignorant about the history of the human race before letting herself read the book and buy the commentary and come out.

"The Puppet King had a brilliant king. But he died early, and the king was in trouble. After that, I did my job by asking a civilian. But gradually the civil servant stopped listening to the king, and gradually the king became isolated..."

He said the Puppet King's end was miserable.

"We'll talk about the Middle King tomorrow," Eileen said after she had finished talking the whole story.

My expression changes corny, so I'm smiling now, but I don't know what angers me with the ingredients.

So Kinosuke said, "Okay. I'll wait for you."

Of course Eileen is educated all the way as the daughter of a lord, and since her real sister, Violata, took her son-in-law and inherited the house, she had been thinking about it since she was a little girl trying to work in the royal palace.

As a result, Eileen is also more upbeat and knowledgeable than the average lady.

That Eileen was now trying to do everything she could to educate Kim Noisuke.

Therefore, Kinosuke had an atmosphere in which he could not say, "It is time to travel…".

My sister will arrive tomorrow.

Eileen said that at the end of the class.

Kinosuke narrowed her eyes in nostalgia, recalling a violator who had broken up in a water city because of the danger.

Irene, who senses such a change in Kinosuke, kicks Kinosuke's tibia as much as she wants.

"... hmm?

Has something been done? Yes, when Kiyonosuke asked Eileen with her eyes, Eileen sighed deliberately.

"As usual, it's a substandard body.... but no sister. I'm planning on getting someone strong and solid for my son-in-law, so don't get too close."

There was no insurance like before, but there was still no difference in what I would talk about.

To Eileen's words like that, Kim Noisuke replied honestly, "Okay."

Kinosuke, who was unexpectedly busy moving around, also had some leeway in his mind as the violator came and Lyudmila recovered and was able to walk.

I began to whine to no one, "I think it's time," to the mundane applause, to sort out the inside of [tools], and to shop in Wangdu.

Seeing how it goes, both Violator and Lyudmila start to speak up and ask their opinions about politics (i.e. every word).

And one warm afternoon, when she was spending time in the shade with Eileen, Kim Noisuke told her that she was going to travel more or less.

Irene was surprised, and angry, and even crying, when she heard it.

I don't know what conversation was held between Kinosuke and Irene during the leak day, but I told the same story to the violator that night and to Lyudmila the next morning.

"... well. Don't get lonely."

That's all Lyudmila said.

"I believe I'll see you somewhere someday!

"So be sure to come and see me," said the violator.

The departure saw the crown of Lyudmila before deciding to leave the king's capital with his feet.

The night Kim Noisuke finished his last goodbye to someone he knew in this city.

In the corner of the rough royal palace in preparation for the next day's crowning ceremony, Kinosuke was resting in peace.
