Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"... the numbers are strange. Compared to the past, things are getting in and out… less circulation"

Glittering at the paperwork, I pointed out that I was curious.

"I wonder why... only so-called preferences and luxuries among imports, not daily necessities. That, too, is only decreasing in the east"

"... well, you've noticed"

One who belongs to wealth opens his eyes by saying so.

"Regrettably, I didn't notice until Dean told me"

Clean in his words, I laugh bitterly.

"Which one did you think you were? Do I notice or not?"

"You think I tried you?

"Come on? I was just wondering. What do my men think, huh? By the way, I thought you were working on a report on Dean, but what do you think?

"We don't have a report yet. Dean also just sent people to the east to explore the causes.... because if you are, you will notice. He told me to give him the paperwork."

"Well! So I was being tried by Dean"

Couscous laughed unexpectedly.

"Aren't you angry?

"Nothing. That's funny.... than that, I really don't know why. As far as another dossier goes, there aren't fewer people. Purchasing appetite has not diminished. That's why the price is up slightly. Outside the east, that hasn't happened. … someone is doing the operation intentionally?

Mumble as you look at the perplexes and other materials that were in the room.

In the meantime, the commanding officer who had refrained there seemed to observe this one silently.

"... call Sebastian. Thanks for the report."

Give Tanya instructions, while lowering the commander.

And he immediately gave instructions to Sebastian, who was taken by Tanya.

That is to have all the reports coming up from the east brought to me.

In the east, there is a port.

For this reason, it has long been a rich area.

Ever since I've been a Lordship Agent, I've been expanding and servicing the harbor.

We are also investing in doing business with other countries.

It's about an area that is responsible for an important source of income for the territory... it reacts hypersensitively.

I can't be relieved that I don't know the cause.

Although only some items are available now, the assurance that they do not extend to all is not at this stage either.

"... Dean. I just got a report. So, how's it going?

Speak to him who came in with the knocking noise.

"As things stand, I'm honest that nothing has progressed. Later, we just wait for the reports of those who sent us to the east for inspections. Just one thing that bothers me…"

"Does that mean there's nothing out of the ordinary but numbers, so much that nothing's progressing?

"Yeah. It's too quiet. There are no reports of maritime casualties or chambers of commerce where disturbances are occurring. More importantly, reduced circulation prevents some complaints and consultations from coming up from the Chamber of Commerce. Even though it's supposed to be damaged. That's what's strange."

"It would be nice if you were worried... I have a bad feeling about something. Dean, how long can you stay?

"The original contract, until tomorrow. There's something I can't take off, so I'll let you out of the collar for a week or so, but I'll be back as soon as I'm done. In the meantime, Mr. Sebastian and I just came to report to the consular officer."

"Yes.... you have no choice"

Truth be told, I'd be glad to have him.

It's not good to keep having Negative Bu hold you, and dependence, etc., so on.

"Okay. If you come up with anything, let me know."

Then I took a trip to the library... to the library.

Still, it's good to discover when Dean's around.

I had too much work to do before he got here, and I wouldn't have gotten that far.

... No, the other way around.

It was because he came that I realized.

Sometimes the accumulated work was cleared up and there was room for me, and the report came up to me because he noticed and made the consular officer check.

Either way, I appreciate him.

Even as I thought about it, I got there and went inside.

"Oh, Leme. It's been a while since I've seen you here."

"Dear Iris!

Paa and a bright grin, she turned me away.

I'm a clerk, but I haven't had much time to be here lately because I've been asking all kinds of things to ask for that and this stuff from the school in the Territorial Capital.

It's been a really long time since I've seen her surrounded by books like this since I've had a pretty limited amount of time to come to Omake too.

"What is it, Master Iris?"

"Do a little research.... I'm talking about the East."

"What would that be? If it's about food, it's about this and this... oh, it's about maps and terrain."

"... right. If you have a record of a historical mayor or something like a criminal record..."

"Here's the report of the historical mayor. Please be careful not to handle materials as they are not bound together."

"Yeah, all right."

I received a bunch of paper from Leme.

"And then, well, it's a criminal record...... the eastern ones are extremely few. Perhaps there's nothing more out there than you know."

"Alas.... before I could make the altercation, I had no choice but to hear that there was nothing to record except a major incident or disturbance. Why is the east extreme?

"Originally, there were things in the east where it was easier to get together with a lot of blood, and fights and disturbances are like everyday tea meals. And no, the Portic family's got a cow's ear, so maybe they won't come around this way inside."

"Boltic family? What, it's"

I lean my neck unintentionally toward a word I don't hear.

"It's an organization that's partitioning the so-called backtown. Look, there was a time when the lady used to stop me from going to Dita when I went to inspect her, right? He's a simmer around here, too."

"I see. Do you have any idea what's going on in that organization?

"Uh... family history is old. That's from when the territory was born and the east was set up as a port, isn't it? Looks like the family has a family fashion, and while what you're doing is a bad thing, it doesn't seem like the residents hate you for what you're doing, okay?

"... because, what's wrong?

"It's the handling of illegal goods. I don't think we're dealing with slaves, though. And then it looks like it's like Sima's baton, and there's the casino."

"I see. If you're also on the caution stick, that means the case is cleared before we have a story on this side. If there's a case before you know it, and you solve it before you know it, you can't write it."

"That's what I mean."

"... Nevertheless, you know what Leme is."

"Historical owners' notes, etc. are also stored here. Again, what was looked into at the time remains like a note, which is interesting, huh?

"I see. If that's true, you have to find it out of here yourself... just thinking about it makes me freak out"

It takes a tremendous amount of effort to find what you're looking for among the different volumes of books here.

If you've read anything, I still have no idea how to find reference material for the research.

... With Lehme here, you're really helping.

"Is there another organization like that?

"Of course, there seems to be some, right? I don't know if they're still there... some of them seem to be non-interferent with each other, others in conflict with the Boltic family."

"I see... ok. Thanks."
