Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"... business, is it..."

I guess Sebastian and Sei disagree. That's a little cloudy.

"There are many examples of doing unfamiliar things and the house leaning. I wonder if we should stop that."

Moneda, who was in a commercial guild, also seems to disagree. But if I don't make money, my ideas are really going to be picture after picture.

Maintenance of the museum, our waste of extravagant clothes, then meals… If you're going to spend your budget on it, you want to spend it on public roads and things like that.

But that's why, given the dignity of the Duke's house, I can't even cut much money to turn to us... so I came to think of business. You just found something interesting on the inspection.

"Well, Moneda. Before you listen to me, will you stop? You might be able to make some money."

In my words, Moneda gives me a strange look.

"Oh, my God. I am a noble lady. I've never been on the battlefield of a bunch of merchants called the market, and all of a sudden, I'm right to start doing business."

"... no, excuse me"

"It's fine. So, although it is a mistress. I want to sell this product. Lehme, get that out of here."

"Okay -"

It was the brown fruit that came out of the bag that Lehme took out.

"... is this...?

Sebastian and Sei, who had never seen it, stared at it without knowing what they were capable of.

"This is the fruit of cocoa. It is a fruit that can be taken in the southern tropics - locals occasionally crush it and drink it like a beverage."

Yes, Cacao. Our territory stretches from north to south, and the capital is a city of everlasting spring, but parts of the south have a subtropical climate. That's why some districts were made up of cocoa.

"... I've heard of it. But it must have been too bitter to drink..."

The boulder is Moneda. As for these products, you knew they were only available in commercial guilds.... Well, I was more surprised what Lehme knew at the time of the inspection. This kid really knows everything... Anyway, I knew everything from the ingredients in this cocoa to making it look like a beverage made by the locals. You'll also be surprised.

"I knew you weren't commercialized. I'm relieved to hear about Moneda now."

"Yeah..."

No way, are you gonna sell this? Are you gonna say that with that confident look, too? Nah, you think.

But I'm pretty confident, aren't I? Whatever you say, sweetness is important among the nobles.... Look, because I have tea time or something.

"... Tanya. Open the door."

"I'm in awe"

When Tanya opened the door, there stood Merida, one of our cooks, who had refrained. Because of this, Merida is also one of the people I picked up as a child. Tanya Lyle Dida Moneda Leme Sai And Merida, all of these seven kids I've picked up.

Merida wanted to try cooking, so she became our cook. My cooking is made by her and while I'm on a diet I place various orders, but she's a great cook who responds beautifully to that.

"This is the sweetness that Merida made from cocoa."

What came out, of course, was chocolate. It's familiar from me, but everyone looked at it strangely.

"Try it."

Everyone speaks so terribly of unknown food.

"... delicious!

However, if I tried it with a bite or mouth, it came out with a different tone and a good word of appreciation.

"This is made from cocoa, isn't it? Sure, if this is... what's the pricing for it?

"I'm using sugar, so I'm going to set it a little higher. The target audience is aristocratic, so I'm going to sell it with a lot of high-end ingredients. Though I am also going to make products that are less priced so that more people can buy them. Then, Merida. Let the other one out."

"I'm in awe"

What I just served was plank-shaped milk chocolate with no philosophy whatsoever. The next thing I put out is a plank-shaped piece of dark chocolate and then a so-called raw chocolate and truffle comes out.

"This is made from cocoa beans, just like earlier, but the flavor is something else. Try it."

Now they all ate less hesitant than they had earlier.

"Wow, yummy! I like this round -"

"I prefer this slightly bitter one."

Everyone was divided according to their preferences. However, it seems reassuring that everything seems to be well received.

"As such, the arrangements vary. What do you say, Moneda? Until recently, you were in a commercial guild."

"Products like never before...... as long as you advertise well, you'll be on track soon. I think that's all there is to it. It's good to have a clear target audience."

"Thanks. That's why, Sai. You will be my hand and my foot, and I will ask you to build a sales channel for this product."

"... me, is it? I was wondering if Moneda would be better off..."

"I'm going to ask Moneda to get involved in setting up the bank, as I said earlier. This one will have plenty of room to negotiate with a commercial guild sooner or later, so I was wondering if it would be better. Besides, if you're going to target the nobility, you're going to be able to deal with our family in this Duke's house right away."

"............ I'm in awe. We'll do our best to meet your expectations."

"So that's what I'm talking about. Start from where you put the Chamber of Commerce on track around this product. First, Sebastian. Prepare a contract with the village where the cocoa beans are grown. Then, Lyle and Dida think and report on the number of people needed to keep the village and our streets safe. You remember how the road went during the inspection, right?

"I'm in awe. We'll get right to it."

Sebastian, Lyle and Dida took their seats.

"Merida, I need you to count this prototype a little more. Later, I'll give you another recipe I thought about. Then Tanya writes to your mother, so get ready."

"... to your wife, is it?

"Yeah. No one advertises better than your mother. Send me a product and they'll promote it."

"I'm in awe"

"Moneda has the procedure for establishing a Chamber of Commerce. At that time, take Sei with you. If possible, make sure you have a place to make this product. … For the past three months, I want to start with the boost of this Chamber of Commerce, so I'm sorry, but could you help me?

"Of course. There's nothing funny about this, no way to miss it."

"Thank you. Leme has a few things to check on, so please stay. You know the average price of the market's main products, don't you?

"Yes. If it's from the last 15 years, ask me anything"

"Well, thank you for your work. Be sure to report and consult with me as soon as something happens."
