Returning from a South Street inspection, I was discussing a gold-making plan with Emmen in a dungeon in Odrant.

"Boss, you said you were going to blow a fight on Theodoram for money, but how the hell are you going to do that?

"Essentially, we aim to discredit the currency. For example, if Theodoram's gold coins were mixed with large amounts of gold, the merchants would be reluctant to use Theodoram's gold coins, too? That's how we tighten up Theodoram's currency from international deals. And then… if there is a large amount of gold, the amount of goods will be less relative to the amount of money in circulation and the price will rise… It will take a huge amount of gold to cause it. Not very realistic. After all, the main eye should be placed on the discredited."

There are many instances where fake bills were used as a means of economic disturbance, such as Operation Bernhardt in Germany and Cedar Work in Japan during World War II. I thought it was going to be effective against Theodoram... but Emen is looking at me with a really bad look.

... what? Was it awkward?

"Um... Boss, it's Theodoram's currency, but I can't trust it originally. Merchants also use Illustria and Manastella money to trade. Why?"

... Is that it? My economic war, was it over before it started?

Crowe was to receive a lecture from Yemen on the current state of Theodoram's currency. Theodrum's currency varies in character in all of its gold, silver, and copper coins, and a significant number of those that have grown old and worn surfaces are in circulation. For this reason, the current situation in which Illustria and Manastella currencies are used for commercial transactions, even within Theodoram, was sufficient to surprise and frighten Crowe.

"... I mean, there's no trust in Theodoram's currency from the beginning..."

"That's how it is"

"But... if the currency of a country is such a thing, it would also be inconvenient for trade. Is Theodoram just arching his hand?

"No, I always talk about casting. It's not going to run. Come on. Still, even your thief buddies rumored you were about to suck."

"Is that... is it not strange to have a currency change cast?

"Heh, that's how"

Hmm... you should start by checking if there is a plan to change the casting. Either get Vinstadt's Cave Rats and Cave Bats to work, or use a newly enhanced Grievance Spirit (Ghost) force... or mobilize monsters like Silhouette Pixie and Shadow Oul... we need to talk to Davar.
