Chapter 136: New Year's Festival - Day Three - 3. The Royal Castle of Theodoram (Part 2)

Following the pursuit of Secretary Merca Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture reluctantly utters his thoughts.

"... I'll say no at the outset... but if the story of the Asians waging an economic war on our country is absurd, what we're going to talk about is nothing more than a fuzzy story, right?

"Now I want to hear it."

In response to repeated requests, the Laxman Agricultural Church begins to speak in a rare (one) tone when he sighs (one), as he thought.

"Seeing the movements of the subhuman people, they seem to be constrained (obsessed) with selling foods made from sugar rather than shipping the sugar itself. Is that why?

No one could answer the Lord Agriculture's question.

"One solution is to increase visibility."

"Visibility?"

"Our own?

"I can say that, and it looks like it's spreading the use of sugar"

I don't know where the story landed. Together, I just returned silence - with a bewildered look.

"We want to talk about it from here... but it also looks like they're trying to take away their status as sugar suppliers from Theodoram. Given that it sells cheap to the common people, not the wealthy, it seems like it's opening up new demand."

"You think it's our aim to replace you?

It was Sir Jilka's munitions who asked back in a frightened tone. As far as it goes, this is definitely a legal story. I am also convinced that the Secretary of Agriculture will be caged in his mouth.

"In this case, their aim may only be their share of sugar, and hostility to our country may not be their main purpose"

"... how do you explain beer?

"From an economic point of view, the impact of beer does not extend to sugar. It would be the same in terms of flavour."

"Only fate is sugar," he said?

"Is beer like a snack..."

"Are you crazy?

"No... keep going"

"Even if I say keep going, that's the end of this story. However, if we think about whether their aim is in that area, there is another unpleasant interpretation."

I saw the Secretary of Agriculture that I added on the face, and I got caught up in a bad feeling.

"... one more thing, you say?

"Uhm. Assuming they're after a share monopoly on sugar, are we just looking over our fingers?

"Stupid. Stop it at all costs. Otherwise, Theodoram is over."

"That's the problem. What happens if they honestly say the reason for the retreat was an obstruction to our country?

Sir Agriculture looking around together with an unpleasant eye.

"... well, what happens?

"Until then, sugar, which could have been bought cheaply by the common people, was no longer available because of the sidelines of our country... yes if the common people think...?

"In Illustria, you nurture a sense of antipathy towards our country!

"No, it's not just Illustria. There were reports of some movement in Manastella."

"What if… if the movement spread to coastal countries…"

"No... Coastal countries would rather be shipping sugar from trade, right?

But you can't say that about sugar sweets, can you?

The Secretary of State continues his words as he looks at the upsetting Secretary of State with a look of giving up.

"In the first case, we have to stop sugar sales at all costs. But in the second case, you strangle yourself if you go into a distraction."

"... the odds are one-half..."

"A half? Stupid. You could even be wearing a double scale."

"Become!?

The colour of fatigue darkened the outgoing secretaries of state.
