Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

Episode IX: Lady Attack

The pedestrian apparently came from the Erin side.

The Empire side should hear from Bel Elsier if there's anything, and I've got a lookout.

But we're not monitoring Erin.

Klao's story seems to make him wait at Elsier's entrance. Elsier is also very simple, but the entire Elsier is covered with a wooden fence and the entrance is limited.

I need to make something decent as soon as possible because it's easy to cut down if you feel like it.

"Klao, so what's the scale?

Master Cyril, there are three carriages.

"I guess that's the limit."

I can give you that the road from Erin to coming to Elsier is a terrible evil road for reasons of not being too vigilant on the Erin side.

You need to cross one mountain while it's bending, and one more carriage has only a road width at best. Sending a large number of soldiers is very demanding.

And if it's a fight between a few, Elsier doesn't feel like losing, so he's not devoting much effort to watching.

"Do you hear where the pedestrians come from and for what purpose?

"That's, uh, how many minutes I've been in a hurry."

"Not this time, but next time, guess what I want to know, gather it in advance, and then report it."

"Ha! I remember this Klao, the liver"

Klao will be fine because he will always protect what he said once.

Rather, it's enough to make you worry too honestly about what I'm saying.

Walk about five minutes to reach the gates of Erin's side of Elsier. There were three carriages stopped there. It's not decorative, but I can see that they are all quite luxury items as far as the accuracy of the wheels is concerned.

About five people are out of the carriage and talking to Lucier, who is a gatekeeper. Originally members of Iraqsa do not do such work, but are called in case of a time.

It was in the manual around here, so I guess Klao gave the instructions exactly.

"I don't know what that means, but I'm not going to break out like I was saying. They're just selling merchandise."

"I'm sorry, but I can't make up my mind. Wait till the judgment above comes out. Because they should be here any minute."

Of the five people who came in the carriage, Lucier lightly recieves a blue-haired woman in a dress with a large, flashy attitude calling out. Women look like late teens.

"Are you telling me you know where I stand? I am."

"Lady, stop, don't say it yet! You see, you said with a dooya face as the carriage rocked you to surprise Erin by revealing your position where she splashed her cutting-edge products at a cheap price and an elf who didn't know how to entertain thrived in touch with its splendour!

A woman with blue hair who is likely to be beaten up is addicted to a woman in classy male clothes from behind.

"Shit, I'm glad you stopped, but if you say that here, it doesn't make sense."

"Ma'am, I'm sure this girl is the bottom line. He said he couldn't go up there."

"So is that. This kid has good ingredients, but he smells good and doesn't seem to have a very good life."

"Yes, the lower end is the lower end, just the wife of the village chief."

"You're not okay at all!?

"Sure!?

"Or was Cyril Ki-yun married!? Why didn't you report it?"

"'Cause if I told you, I'd hiss you, and if I did, my lady would be so annoyed. First of all, Cyril Ki-jun is quite a dong-dong. Don't pull. Just turn to the painting in that kind of bedroom. There's no such thing as" ki-yun "in a place where people are."

At some point, the spearhead of a blue-haired woman had switched to a woman dressed mostly as a man.

I think of it as the type I don't really want to get involved with.

But it won't. I never approached my will and spoke up.

"Thank you for waiting. Pedestrians, I'm Elsier's head, Cyril. Thank you for coming today."

At least all of a sudden he doesn't seem willing to use force, so I decided to deal with the customer only with the intention of dealing with him.

The moment I spoke, the face of a blue-haired woman changed. Only elegantly. And somewhere I have the light of intelligence in my eyes.

"This is polite. Forgive me for the sudden bump visit. I'm Asur. They're cutting shops in Erin. I came to buy the sweet syrup and the best alcohol rumors that we are talking about in Erin.

That's all I've got, so I've got something to sell here. That's why I'm asking for an introduction to syrup and booze producers and the right to do business in squares with lots of people. "

That's what I'm saying. I'm asking for a handshake. For some reason my nose is rough and surprised.

The mouth of the woman in the man's clothes behind her is moving subtly since just now.

When I read it with lip reading somehow.

'Wow, lady, you're in a good mood. I'm super fond of younger beautiful boys and stuff. Even in the painting. Ha-ha-ha. That's why I think I'm going to attack you at night or something. I'm still a virgin for choosing, but this time I might get my hands on it. Even the princess is unconscious. I guess people will get angry when that happens. It seems like it would fly better if it wasn't my neck or a metaphor. Then are you on retirement? Otherwise I should have starved my sisters to death or hoarded their savings. Crepe changed twice when I was on track. With that money to buy one, it cost me about a week of food... forgive my poor sister'

I'm a blue-haired woman...... Asur and a woman in male clothes, both sending pity glances at the same time.

"Oh ho. Amazing. Setting up a store in Erin isn't quite something you can do. It must have been tough going from Erin to here."

"That's right. The road is narrow, it's bumpy and the carriage rocks, and the wolf leaves. The only salvation is the lack of banditry, thanks to the unpopular streets."

"Do you think it'll fit for you until you come through that path?

"I do. What we actually see in that item."

"Speaking of which, you've replaced our sweets twice."

I smile at women in men's clothes. Then Asur's gaze became slightly steeper.

"Well, you didn't change it once."

"Thank you very much."

"They also bought a knife and went, how are the cuts?

"Well, it's all over now. It's amazing when you wholesale fish into three pieces or something. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh! Then the blood and fat will shine. You can't let go anymore...... Ha!?

A woman in male clothes hurries and presses her mouth.

The knife is not placed as an item in the business of renting a stall. It was only sold to an arms dealer as an individual.

This woman who was following me is buying and collecting everything I sold.

Everything else I bought was gathering information. They grab all the information on food, sulphur sold as accessories at Erin, and even wedding dresses.

"Oh, my God, you've been tailing me."

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I didn't even notice. This guy."

"I'll see you later. Two more months off."

"Oh, no, no."

Women in men's clothes give voices like the end of the world.

"Not really, don't blame him. She was the best. It was much better than the other four. I think it's not her mistake, it's the human mistake that ordered her to tail someone who will be noticed by their skill."

"... I see, if you say so. I'll admit it. Well, I won't ask you about it."

"This matter?

"Yeah, I told you to collect everything the elves sold, didn't I? Why are you wholesale fish into three pieces with a knife sold by an elf?

"Hih, rust out of my body!? It's just an act of perfection. I was going to buy it all right, on a budget. But like that, when I put it in the sun, it makes me chill, and I think I'll buy it myself by deciding that one or so other customers bought it..."

Three months' pay cuts.

"Kill him!

Then he collapsed and began to write the letters on the ground.

"Shall I ask you again? Are you going to insist that you guys were really just merchants, following me around as soon as you walked into Erin?

That can't be right. After I started selling maple syrup, I'd still know, but as soon as I came in, I tailed him, which means he knew how the elves were, even though he was at least far away in Erin.

The fact that you realized who I was after hiding my ears even has information on my face. (i) Beyond the scope of information a merchant can handle.

"Well, you're crazy about your plans. No more acting is useless, so I'll give you an answer. I am Asur Fer Corrine, the mayor of the town who is ruling the commercial city of Erin in the Kingdom of Corrine. I'm here today to negotiate with the village of Elves."

"Surprised. I predicted it would be, but I didn't think the mayor would be able to come himself."

"Sort of. You don't normally come to such a border. Something that takes a week to get back and forth because of the bad road. It would be a big downside to Erin for me to be away for a week. Still, I thought you needed to come."

"If I could just have a letter, I'd have heard it from you."

"Well, that doesn't convey sincerity. I'm in a position to ask."

Asur smiled invincibly. Confident and my strong type. He's not the type to be in Elsier.

"I don't mind doing business with you, but unfortunately Elsier can calculate it and there isn't one that can handle the currency, so it will take the form of a representative one letting you place an order"

It is common sense in this day and age to farm the fields if you have time to study.

Neither elves nor fire foxes have been taught letters or calculations, except for the children of a house with some power. There are about two hundred and fifty Elves and Firefoxes combined, but nothing in them that can use the currency reaches twenty.

"I don't mind. Put together a list of what you've brought and what you want because I'll send you the unit price. However, there are conditions. I want you to accept the goods on a personal basis."

I thought it was funny to hear the words.

"I don't mind. I'd appreciate it if I were you."

I want to take these opportunities to increase the number of elves that interest me a little outside.

"Yeah, interesting building."

"You can honestly call me a primitive."

As Asur and his escort, he had guided the two three men to a room in the village chief's house.

It was convenient because the village chief's house is the most splendid in Elsier, and there are rooms for imperial soldiers to stay in today.

When I opened the door, Yukino with the scuffle was desperately reaching out and cleaning as he clawed ahead and stretched his back.

"Ah, Brother Cyril, sir?

"Yeah, customers. Enough cleaning here. Hurry up and clean the room like you're staying, which I don't usually use."

"Yeah, okay. Good luck."

Yukino made a grip and left the room.

"Hey Cyril Kyu...... Mr. Cyril. She's so cute."

That's what Asur said as he stared at Yukino's tail as he left.

Sure, Yukino is beautiful, and the costume she's wearing looks just perfect, and she's the cutest. My proud sister.

"I'm glad you said that. Because I'm a proud sister."

"That kid, aren't you willing to leave it with us? I'll hire you at home. I'll give you a decent education, and I think you'll have a better life than being here. And I'll pay you a commission."

"Nobody sells their family. Besides, she's a fire fox. I can't be happy outside of Elsier."

"There are countless people who would be happy to sell their families if they were able to keep their mouths shut and get their money in. As for the latter... right. I'm sorry. Unlike us, Elves and Firefoxes are too famous. Erin doesn't know when he's going to be attacked by a demon stone."

"I thought that mouthful, maybe, but are you a water elite?

"Answer me, Corinne, the country my ancestral water elite freaks made out on the ground. Hydrangen rarely comes out in public, and when it comes to features, blue hair and slightly pointy ears, but because of the traits that are found in other races, they don't get targeted. I don't know what the best thing about it is that you can breathe in the water."

The Hydrogens are one of four species that houses demonic stones in their bodies, but are said to be a phantom species. I don't show up in public first because I live under the sea.

There's not even much information left as to what you look like because of it.

"I envy that"

"That said, I think it's just a matter of time. In the future, the sea will be the main battlefield for commerce. Then the water elites who are hitting the boat that crashed into the bottom of the sea and passed through it, saying that their dwellings have been vandalized, begin to be exterminated.

Then the body might be exposed and you might be in the same position as an elf or a fire fox. "

"I don't think I can get my hands on the water elite in the water."

"Not now. This is my theory, though. If you can't do it all, you can say the word 'now'. The sooner a lot of people wish, the sooner 'now' can be taken. It's only a matter of time before they get rid of you.

You're convincing those hard-headed guys, but you don't even try to listen. For them, the world ends in a narrow territory beneath the sea. If you use the power of the Hydrangen clan soundly, you can be the champion of the Great Trade Age!

Champion of the Great Trading Age. I was discouraged by that too big a goal.

"The ocean is the center of commerce, it's certainly interesting. Taxes are cheaper because they ignore the countless customs posts on the ground. The amount of luggage that can be transported at one time is large, out of step with the land route, the counterpart of the business extends to another country, to another continent. The sea has dreams."

"Yes! Those are definitely the times to come. Now, there's a time for wealth and things, people, to gather in an inland city that will be a relay point for all kinds of cities, but by the time I die, there will be a time for everything to gather in port town!

"Ships still perform poorly, and man's own navigational skills are awkward. As soon as they're both well-rounded, they will be."

"That's why you're a water elite! Surround those overhead men and let them manipulate the current to allow a safe and expeditious journey even with immature ships and technology."

"That's funny, maybe the elves can help too. I can read the wind, so I can generally predict the weather and avoid storms and heavy rain. With sails, the ship will move much faster than just manipulating the water with the wind."

"Fine. That. I want to get it faster than anywhere else."

Soon the two of us got excited. Everyone around me is pompous with their mouths open.

Talking to Asur is interesting.

"Mr. Cyril, you seem more knowledgeable than rumors. I'm glad you're not here to talk about me. But you can understand that what I just told you is a dream, but it's dangerous, right?

"Well, if a multitude of countries come up with a demon stone for wind and water, instead of using the help of elves and water elites, they'll definitely be targeted now more than ever"

It is certainly possible that the value of the demon stones of the wind will jump in the future, as we will need the firepower to melt iron and the demand for demon stones of the firefox has increased.

"That's right. That's why I think. Elves and water elites, and fire foxes. All the people who live in Demon Stone should cooperate."

The story is starting to stink.

"So are you going to tell me that Erin is going to protect Elsier?"

"Yeah, we had a lot of chatter, but I was gonna come up with that suggestion."

"Tell us a little more about it"

"I know Elsier is dropping an Imperial fort to gather refugees. But I still don't think it tastes good to have amateurs. I'm sending 300 professional soldiers out of Erin to settle in. I'll take care of the refugees' education and policing in general."

"That's enough over there. The other day, we followed a raid of more than a thousand people in the empire."

Asur, who heard my words, howls, exclaims.

"You've been able to gather the following amateurs and deal with them without revolt. What a surprise."

"So I don't even have to take Erin's hand."

"If you say so, I guess so. But that's not the only problem. Food hasn't driven production against the population yet. I thought you might need a refill at Erin's.

That certainly is. It was originally intended to increase by up to five hundred, but it was unexpected that the population had swelled up to four hundred at this stage.

Between harvest and harvest, Bel Elsier's hand held food gives him a glimpse, but with the current number of people, he's fine. If we get more people, we'll have to make a buyout at some point in time.

"Is that supposed to be a threat?

"I don't mean to, but if you threaten, yeah. If you refuse to protect Erin, refuse to allow an elf to enter Erin, and anyone with an elf or other involvement will be forbidden from any future commercial activity in Erin. How about this?

This woman could do it.

At present, all villages on the imperial side from Elsier are poor. There won't be enough stockpiles to sell. And there are several villages on the Erin side from here, but they are all deeply involved with Erin.

There is no village that sells things to elves until they are insulated from Erin.

Belle Elsier is like a refugee camp. Minimum security can be maintained while there is food, but without it it it will be rough all at once.

If you do poorly, you even have to think about turning back to the Empire. Brainwashing the five great lengths makes it a safety valve, but it is also likely enough that the five great lengths will be killed by a hungry people.

"Erin has no benefit if you just protect her. What are you going to demand in return for protection?

"I've heard about Elsier's iron arrow. I want you to tell me about your iron technology. I'd like you to take care of the workshop if you can."

"... at all, are you going to go to war"

"You need force to do anything. The first thing you need to do is get all your iron gear together. Besides, iron works besides weapons."

"That's all."

"And one more thing. I would like to entrust you with the development of the harbour town. Originally, I meant to be kidding, but you could be the one who talked to me the same way you did."

Pioneering the Harbor Town, that certainly sounds interesting. I am purely interested. But I don't want to do it until I let Elsier go.

"I can't answer that on this occasion. Let's get back to you during your stay. How many days are you gonna stay?

"I'll take care of you for three days, including today."

"Let us offer maximum hospitality for the duration of your stay"

"I hope so."

Asur coughed after saying so.

"That's right, let's end the big story and finish the little story. Here's a list of the products I brought this time. The price is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"Put it down with a lot of unscrupulous demands and you can talk like that a lot"

"That's it, this is it. Otherwise, you can't be the mayor of a commercial city. The speed of switching is a requirement for merchants."

And that day an adjustment in the number and price of Maple Syrup and Elsier wines sold.

The sun went down as we gathered all the people who could calculate, set a budget, listened to every Elsier's request whenever possible, and picked something to buy.

It's time to make dinner.

Elsier herself can be lightened if something crude is served here. I was more in the mood than usual and I was starting to cook.
