Seven days after the end of the New Year's Festival, we gather in one of the rooms, even during the New Year's Festival, the pigeon (cucumber) neck (cucumber) meeting (gi) spanned. Namely, the famous merchants of the Kingdom of Illustria.

"The King's Palace has told me not to go into this matter..."

"I guess that's what they say. It's about our... No, it's about our country's floating."

"That's right. I'm sure the King's Palace is moving in anticipation of his troubles with Theodoram... but there's no need to sit back until we do."

"Uhm. The kingdom can't move. Now it's time for us to move on behalf of the King's Palace"

I don't know what the mistake is.

The king's palace did not move because he hated to touch the scales of the crow with his hands wide open.

However, from the eyes of merchants who did not know such information, I could only assume that the King's Office was deciding to be static because it was obsessed with the Theodoram issue and had no room to pay attention to the subhumans.

That's why they tried to solve this problem with their own hands.

It is an annoying story.

"Well, I counted eight days today since my last meeting. I'd like you to report any new findings."

One person raises his hand in response to a statement by a merchant who is to assume the role of chairman of this meeting.

"I got the white sugar offered at the tea shop in question and the brown sugar sold this time and checked its quality..."

"Hmm?"

"Both white and brown sugar differed in quality from the inbound sugar we handle.... No, wait. I do not intend to discuss the issue of merit or inferiority here. The problem is that the ingredients were different from the inbound sugar."

Merchants who seriously consider the unpredictable information they have just heard.

"… then what are the possibilities of the last time that someone from another continent is planning something?

"I can't help it, keep it up. The only thing that has been confirmed is that it is different from the sugar we treat."

"... I didn't know the current counterparty had set it up..."

"It's hard to think. But that's not why all the inhabitants of his continent were found not guilty."

"New forces in a competitive relationship with the merchant of the counterparty, are there any possibilities..."

"Is this a dispute between sugar vendors?

"After a moment, there is also the possibility of a plot set up by the newcomers on the big..."

"You can't ignore it. In that case, however, the problem remains that there is no indication that sugar has been transported by sea."

"So, by land?

"Stupid. It should stand out more than the sea."

"... no... weren't there a lot of sugar brought in by the subhumans? Then..."

"Is it possible to cause other luggage to be distracted..."

With a sufficient amount of sugar, we could have flowed it to the market at once and left the sugar market as we wanted. As a reason for not doing so, the merchants had made the hypothesis that there was no high quantity of sugar.

"But then you can't swallow the story that there's no sign of you carrying it by sea?

"... In the meantime, consideration of how it was brought in is behind us. Think about how they carried you after they brought you in."

"Hmmm... the most suspicious is still Selmayne..."

"But let's just say the carriage to Banks, Saurand and Leelot was made up of sub-people coming down from the mountains, huh?

"Based on what you hear, it seems to be the same in Manastella."

"However, there has been no movement that Selmine has transported any luggage into the mountains..."

"No, it's not just Selmine. No movement has been confirmed that would have brought something into the mountains."

"Unravel... how did the subhumans receive the sugar?

There is no reason to understand.

It is due to insane means such as portable dungeon gates. If I think about it properly, there is no reason to know.

The merchants had a headache in a situation where they didn't even know how to get it.

"This... might be more awkward (first) than sugar"

"Ah. Totally unknown distribution routes, etc.... just don't ignore the royal family"

The King's Palace, which knows about the sudden appearance or disappearance of skeleton monsters, does not do anything to that extent.

"... let's keep this story for a while. Next thing you know... you can assume for sure that the subhumans are working with sugar merchants overseas, right?

That's a mistake.

It's a big mistake.

"But... then how the hell did the subhumans get to know the sugar merchants?

One merchant leaks his neck twisted (twisted).

"Maybe we're confused..."

"You think it's a misunderstanding?

"Ah. Not an overseas sugar merchant..."

"- Not an overseas sugar merchant?

"Maybe he's an overseas sub."

"What!? You said you were an overseas sub!?

Maybe he's a sugar dealer.

"Oh my..."

"Like Selmine!?

The merchants' speculation keeps moving away from the truth, but it's strange that if you ask that much, you'll be convinced.

"Uh-huh..."

Now, when this happens, it's octagonal.

If we poorly explore the sugar region, Theodoram suspects us and endangers us. There are no clues to the distribution route. Even if you look it up from the subhuman...

"You can't criticize the Subhumans without solid evidence? Did you forget about Barren or Vazari?

The culprit is now unknown about those series of incidents. However, due to the establishment of a non-fume liaison meeting without much time, it is still seen that the sub-people... again, the non-fumes must have moved under the water. Barren and Vazari are the two dancers who are in a bad mood. It is a wish to be such a feather.

Besides, don't forget about the Brewery Alliance.

"Oh, about the beer and the mess?

"There's that too... one way or another, it's about the refrigerator (ice box)."

"Speaking of which... the Brewery Guild has a concerted attitude with the Elves."

"If you move poorly, you won't even spin it on your enemies to the Brewery Alliance"

"It's awkward (first) to be tightened out of the rights to the refrigerator (ice box) anyway if it's just a liquor guild"

"I agree... but..."

"But what?

"No... refrigerators in sugar and beer (ice boxes). I was wondering if the elves across the ocean have that much skill."

"Certainly… Regardless of sugar, beer and refrigerators (ice boxes) are technologies that have never even come out of previous deals. Maybe it's a technology that's unique to the subhumans."

"Then, yes. If only we could make friendship with the Dark Curtain Hall..."

"Oh. You'll have a lot to gain."

"But you can't move around in this situation?

"In the meantime, we will need to pay more attention to the movements of the Subhumans, and to the movements of the Dark Curtain Hall."
