Join the youth into a coffee shop near the gate.

At first, he was a male master who looked down on William's presence, but when he realized there was a young man with him, he went back to work with a face he didn't eat.

Apparently, hostility to William, who didn't pay the payment, is thorough to the coffee shop. And such orders can also be quashed by having young people together. Plus, the stoppage is thorough. Otherwise you can't possibly go into risky behavior such as acting with someone you're supposed to be hostile to.

I can hear that young people are in quite a position.

"Well, let me explain the situation"

"Let me introduce myself before I do. You seem to know about us, but you don't know anything about us."

"So is that."

Me and William on the table.

There is a blonde young man sitting face-to-face.

Behind the youth stands two men who are resilient as escorts. This one, by contrast, is just Melissa standing. No pressure can be exerted in Melissa, which has nothing to do with rigour, etc. But the escort gave up because he seemed flat even when his sharp gaze was turned from the escort.

"I'm Gates Gibson. I'm vice president of a commercial union."

"Vice Chairman......!?

Institutions also exist in the Regulus Commercial States to direct administration.

However, the power relations in the Regulus commercial countries are more overwhelming in the commercial unions due to the availability of funds and influence on residents.

Substantially domestic number two.

"What can someone like that do for us?

"No, it's up to me to explain what your situation is."

Conspiracy by Chairman Jared, who is thus told.

Chairman Jared was the one who became a union member after his father had been the previous generation of group chairman. He was superior to business talent even when he said he was a doer, he was superior to his talent in collecting gold.

Collect money by adding it to a person's weakness.

William can stay flat because it's the first day he's cornered, too, but if this situation continues as a week or ten, he's definitely going exhausted. They won't sell us anything, so it will be difficult to buy food eventually. It's not going to be a problem with supplies because we're with them most of the time.

But if you're in trouble, you'll end up paying the advance.

That's how Jared gets the money.

"Looks like he's been collecting money that way since he was young."

"Didn't that pose a problem for union people?

"Now it's the kind of act that most people in the union know, but when they were younger they seemed to act unnoticed and nobody noticed. Or even the people you've noticed seem to be on your side."

Make it weak by making even humans without weaknesses grip gold.

That's how I go with a little more allies.

The more I realized, the more factions I could be chairman.

"So what do you want to do?

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to reconsider my current idea of legacy. But Jared's in the way for that. I just want to get rid of it, but my powers aren't enough right now."

Vice Chairman Gates holding his fist with regret.

I guess he has a lot of strength because he climbs down to the vice chairman, but the guy who piled up the money and became chairman lacks power in his opponent.

"That's why I don't want to overlook your situation!

I just fail to pay the money I was about to wind up being treated unfairly.

I guess I can't forgive you as a legitimate merchant.

Such an act almost amounts to banditry.

"I understand our situation. So, what can I do for you?

"You would have seen the deal that was going on at the gate."

"Deal, can I say?

It just seemed like he was getting the goods unilaterally.

In fact, I guess that's the feeling for Legends.

"This is also the deal Jared brought..."

All crops harvested and offered in the Estore Empire shall be picked up at a certain price.

That rule applies even in the event of disasters resulting in poor crop conditions or when stocks are in excess because of massive harvests.

At first glance, it looks like an arrangement where legends are losing money.

Previously, the crops became worse in the year when sunshine continued in the Estore Empire. In doing so, Jared made arrangements for relief purposes. He was appreciated by the Estore Empire, who also rated the people of the Regulas commercial country as merciful people.

... That's the apparent reason.

However, there exist commitments which are not generally known behind this arrangement.

Every year, a certain amount must be paid to Jared.

Payment to Jared, not Regulus.

I use it to contribute to the country as money I earned because it was personally paid.

"Normally, I was just flushing it out to Regulus that it was a no-hazard arrangement just because I couldn't forgive the payment."

But it was this spring that things suddenly changed.

The collapse of the Kingdom of Memphis.

The crops began to be brought in one after another about the summer after that.

"The cause is completely unknown. At first, there was nothing suspicious about it, and it went on in the fall."

By then everyone would think it was "weird".

The majority of people thought that if they could still survive the autumn that would be harvest, it would be over.

"But crop loading continues even in winter."

It is not the kind of season where crops are already available.

Obviously, it's an anomaly.

"Aren't you going to embark on an investigation?

"Of course I did"

Since I am a merchant, I am free to travel to and from the border to some extent.

Upon entering the Estore Empire, he confirmed the condition of the crops, etc.

"All I found out was that the seeds would be planted and harvested in a few days."

"A few days..."

It crosses the limits of the crop's growth speed.

The people who saw the sight were just flabbergasted.

And they of the merchants just figured out the 'speed of growth of unusual crops', not even why they grow unusually.

"Didn't you send a wizard or something?

I had something on my mind about the phenomenon.

Even the labyrinth is able to increase the speed of crop growth so that food can be obtained in a short time. It's not a difficult task for a labyrinth nucleus that has been under control for thousands of years because it's just a story of giving more magic than normal to tweak.

In the same way there is a magical anomaly in the land of the Estore Empire.

That way we can also be convinced of the abnormal harvest of crops.

If the crop is so full of magic that it is unusual, the wizard should be able to easily notice it.

"Of course I sent a wizard hired by Legends"

The merchants were able to come home easily by examining even 'the unusual growth of crops'.

But no one of the wizards I dispatched could return.

"I definitely entered the Estore Empire because I had received regular contact. But who can't grasp the footprint after entering the country?"

Of course I dispatched many.

But if no one can come home, the next person I was thinking of sending will also be frightened. Above all, the investigation has stalled because of the upper management fearing a wasted loss of human resources.

"It is Chairman Jared who has to take this matter the most seriously. But Chairman Jared doesn't care at all about what's going on because he's not buying crops just to get paid."

I have absolutely nothing to lose.

Besides, I believe that the fact that the payment has been made remains unchanged, so I have no problem with the current situation.

The idea is wrong.

If we keep things static, we won't be able to do it with just one merchant, and it will be a problem for the country itself.

As a result, Jared also goes bankrupt.

But Jared, who is only obsessed with collecting gold, sees no further than his immediate interests.

It's the difference between a trader and a trader.

"This is one request. Will you come and investigate what's going on in the Estore Empire on our behalf?
