"No, that's all I wanted to talk to you about, but for some reason, when you're facing each other like this, you don't talk strangely."
Toto, with his hips down on the couch, said that across from me.
There was a little bit of a worry about what to talk from even if it was me who was losing my previous memory.
"How's the herb making going?
That's why he's good at it, and I've decided to get into it from a topic of interest.
"Oh, the herbs that don't need the light of the day we spoke in Wang Du are done now. If things go well, we'll probably be able to make a product soon."
"That was good. I wouldn't have any trouble on Sunday if you chose this Helanese territory as your production land. Besides, the plants of this land grow well."
"Oh, I'm really considering that. Once the magic train you're doing is complete, using this land as a production base will allow you to wholesale goods to other territories on your way to Wang Du, and more importantly, this Helanese territory will be vast, right? I don't think the current state of production in Wangdu is very good."
"Be sure to come. Toto's company is always welcome. Without friendship, this is going to be a very beneficial story for each other."
Yeah, Toto snorted.
I don't think he's a very talkative type of person, but his mouth seems to bounce so comfortably when it comes to medicinal herbs and management.
"Gap Chamber of Commerce herbs have a good reputation. There are a handful of merchants in Helanese territory, but they import it for me. I hear a reputation from the people who bought it. The performance is very good compared to the price. It seems that boulders cannot be purchased in large quantities from Wangdu, and they are always waiting to be purchased. You made something totally amazing."
"Is that what you say? Most of the products we're selling right now, and the ones we're selling well, can be called co-productions between me and you. What?
"Um, I still can't remember, but if you kind of imagine that, don't come up with a sight that sounds fun"
"It was actually fun. I was making herbs and my own vegetables with you, me and Iris. Those are golden days for me."
"Huh? Wait a minute."
What the hell is he doing now? I may be wrong to hear that...
"Didn't me and Toto do it together?
I can normally imagine that.
Toto and I are aristocrats, but I think of something that is normally dirty.
But! You can't let that one in there!
"That's right. Me and Kurli. There was always Iris by his side. She used to grow her own vegetables."
"That Iris!?
Make it an extinct beauty, first prince favorite woman. Furthermore, it is knowledgeable and popular.
And you were growing vegetables?
"I don't know, I can't imagine."
"You were a lot more heterogeneous from me, though. Iris is not a nobleman, and he looked good at field work from his hands and ankles at the time. I was a poor nobleman, so there was no elegance, and I couldn't feel uncomfortable dyeing my hands green all the time with herbs."
Heh, Toto was a poor nobleman. I know what it is. It's hard work. It is.
"Yet even though I come with you to the country, I am a noble man with a vast territory. Yet I always do the blacksmith work, and I don't mix in the glorious circle between nobles. If you ask me if I can grow herbs with you, it's the end of the day. [M] Ask her out, but that surprised me in a good way."
I've been doing blacksmith work since I was in school. I don't know what you're doing. Do something noble.
"What am I, doing a blacksmith job?
"Huh? Even if I ask... Honestly, I was hoping to ask you someday."
"Oh, yeah."
The mystery just deepens.
I was talking to Toto like that in the reception room, and the door knocked.
"Go ahead."
It was Ellie who came in, and she slipped us some tea and handmade cake.
While Ellie was arranging them on the table, I felt there was just a slight toto anomaly. It was just a little change, but what the hell?
Ellie finished the work quickly and left with a smile on her face with a tray. Take your time with a word.
Me and Toto reach for tea.
Hmm, I use tea leaves that have a unique aroma taken from Helanese territory. Ellie's tea technology is getting better every day.
"Eliza, you've changed a lot."
Toto also reached for tea and said that after a sip. Ellie was also a nobleman attending school, so naturally she knew Toto. So the change I just showed you for a moment was made to do so by my old memories of Ellie?
"How has that changed?
"Hmmm I used to be more like this...... harsh"
"Harsh!?
"Yes, harsh. As dramatic as that is. Honestly, I hated the nobles, but fear is stronger against Eliza than hate."
"What's that!?
No, but somehow, but there's nothing I don't know.
This is especially true when I remember when we woke up together and opened a blacksmith's shop.
her personality rounding up day by day, but was that what it was at the beginning? It was more sticky. And sometimes delled.
Tuntung's condition varied from day to day, and there were days when he was in a bad mood that could be described as harsh.... I was looking forward to Ellie's chiffon cake. When I ate it hidden, I was hit in the head with a vase. It's my fault.
"You've been round a long time. She didn't remember either, did she?
"Right. Were you pointy when you were in school?
"Pretty much. You're no different, but you're strange. [M] I mean, aren't you the one who influenced me? Kurli's been a little loose for a long time."
"What's loose? The head screw!?
"I'm not. I don't know, big or maybe, well put, big vessels."
Uh, that way. You.
"Maybe I'm just missing a little..."
The screw!? I'm the one with the screws out!!
"That harsh Mr. Eliza and Kurli, who lived freely beyond the boundaries of the aristocracy, it may not be so strange to think that the two of them came together. Only Kurli can accept that Eliza."
He said we were together... Not yet. I won't tell you because I'm ashamed.
But I'll have to tell you sometime. To everyone and to Ellie.
"Ma'am, that's about as good a story as it used to be. Kurli will have a new friendship, even without old memories."
"Right. I think so, too. Even when I was imprisoned by the Gap Chamber of Commerce, I kind of enjoyed my conversation with Toto. Nothing. It's a conversation."
"Me, too. I can still only have such a sluggish conversation with about you. My men Tristana and Nuno understand what I want to tell them, so they don't improve their conversation skills."
That's funny.
I kind of laughed imaginatively.
He doesn't seem to like relationships. - Toto.
"The funny thing is you're with me, though. This letter, what the hell is this? I've never had a letter like this before."
That said he took out a single letter.
I thought it was entrusted to me by Prince Ark, but it looks familiar. The letter I put on the table was the one I gave to Toto.
"A few of my men who read this were angry with their faces bright red. I was kind of like a kurli and I preferred it."
Is that it? What did I write?
I reached out to the letter, opened it and read it.
"Toto, lend me the money. Helanese super money is missing. From Kurli Helan '
That's what it said just on the top of the bright white paper.
Uh, did I write you this letter?
Oh, I wrote it. I wrote it. You did write it late at night.
I've been thinking about some polite sentences, and some kind of sudden sleep has struck me.
So, the delivery clerk was waiting nearby, and I just wrote what I wanted to tell him.
As a result, this sentence…….
Terrible, while I'm at it.
"I'm sorry."
Let's apologize honestly.
"Fine. It made me laugh a lot."
"That's exactly what I wrote there. Personnel are on time, but the funds are going to bottom-up faster than planned because of a little too good a wingspan. So, I remembered. That's right. Toto, whom I met in Wang Du, says he's a friend, and he's also the head of the rapidly growing Gap Chamber of Commerce in Wang Du. He'll have the money, and he'll borrow it."
"As it were..."
Toto had a tight face just like this with a bitter laugh.
"I'm just not sneaky to borrow money, not to say friends. And of course, we have a story for the Gap Chamber of Commerce."
"Kurli just gave me the money, but I'll give it away."
"Yes, I would definitely lose money to the Gap Chamber of Commerce...... YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!
What are you talking about, this guy?
Quite a bold thing to say, contrary to appearance. You're gonna get it, right? You're gonna get fucked up, aren't you?
As I opened my eyes in amazement, Toto moved on.
"It's just that it's my personal will, and the face of the Gap Chamber of Commerce would disagree. Few people admire me. [M] I didn't want to disappoint them, so I brought other ways instead"
"What other way?
"I don't want to lend you money, I want it to take the form of an investment. The money will be given, instead at the dawn of the completion of the Magic Train, we ask you to give up to the Gap Chamber of Commerce some of the rights that Helanese territory has"
Invested...... Nice, that.
Nothing else, Toto would be extra good.
Rather than that, a trustworthy man is probably the most preferred form of investment.
"Does that shape convince you of the face of the Gap Chamber of Commerce?
"Yeah, I'm convinced"
I stared into Toto's eyes. It is now even more noticed that he is low in height and thin in body, but possesses a power that is invisible to a weak human being.
"Mutually, you've got more to bear."
"Right."
That's when we both laughed out.
Strange now, I felt so much for the story that I was developing herbs with Toto at school. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be doing that with him now.
"Actually, I was thinking to some extent of the story of investing. We cannot keep up with the funds that Helanese territory has to traverse the country of Kudan. So ask the lords of the territory they pass through to provide personnel and funding by transferring some of their rights. If it's mutually beneficial, we won't be left alone."
"I think so, too. When you lend money, if you don't want to know when you can pay it back, it can also lead to dissatisfaction. So I think we can build a more cooperative relationship by taking the form of investment and becoming part of the production."
The two of them were in agreement.
It would be fine in this form already. Then what do you give it to me?
I'm sure Toto won't give you half the forehead in line. That must be what gives me so much money that I can feel his heart.
Then we should just give this one the right to be worthy of it.
"The first is the story of the Gap Chamber of Commerce using Helanese territory as a production base, and I'll choose first class at dawn when that happens. Provide land to the Gap Chamber of Commerce in the vicinity of Magic Train's starting station because the land price will increase from now on"
"I appreciate that. I want to have a branch here after the Magic Guide train is completed, as well as before that. It really helps."
"More..."
"More?"
"I've just decided... to give it to the Gap Chamber of Commerce, an exit station that the Wang Du can do, and one that will eventually be the biggest station"
"Are you serious? As far as I can imagine, the significance of the station where the Magic Train stops is quite heavy. Because things are transported from there, the nearby land value will undoubtedly increase, and many commercial establishments will be built. In the long run, the profits will be astronomical. It's a king's station, too."
"I understand. It's not just the Gap Chamber of Commerce, we're going to build one station in each territory. The right is also to be ceded to the lord of the land. If you're a fast understanding person like Toto, you're going to expect a lot of funding, right?
"That makes me feel less good about Helanese territory. You should at least secure a station in the capital."
"Um, I'm from Helan. I honestly feel like I can't afford the virtues of going as far as Wang Du. Then it would be refreshing to give it to Toto, who can be trusted even more. It's okay. I'm expecting a decent profit from Helan territory, and it's not good to make too much money."
"I wish I had already said that Dawn, when you succeeded in the Magic Train project, was well entitled to its immense benefits... But if you want me to, let's not have it. Instead, I'll invest in you everything the Gap Chamber can have. I promise I'll follow you fully until it's done."
"Thanks. I'm counting on you."
We stood up and held each other's hands more forcefully than we did when we were reunited.
"In the meantime, you should go in the hot spring today. Have you ever been in a hot spring on Helanese soil?
"No, you don't. You asked me out once, but I said no because I had medicinal herbs to take care of. It's a hot spring in Helan, a memorial. Let me look forward to it."
"Let's prepare the best hot springs. Or the hot springs behind the mansion. A little narrow and dangerous on the foot, but not so bad"
"Well, then let me come in that way. Yeah, well, it's our servants, but there were quite a few carriages, right? There's money in there and herbs to be sold on Helanese soil. With your permission, I'd like to sell it as soon as possible."
"You brought me the herbs too!? I don't even wish. Gap, it's the Chamber of Commerce herb, right? Everybody wants their hands out of their throats so badly. Wait a minute. I'll give you a permit now."
I slipped a pen on the paper that was there, pressed the Helan family mark, and issued a permit.
'You can sell the herbs. Kurli Helan'
The toto I was given is a little confusing for some reason.
"No, okay? Now."
"Oh, my realm is largely done with this. Thank you. My handwriting tells us all, and we have a good seal, so you can trust me."
"Heh... I don't know if your territory is well done or what... Well, no."
"There's a fountain on the side of the market, so I'll free up a strip of it. I want you to do it there for a while."
"As long as there's a place, it's enough. Let's get the money to the mansion right away."
Me and Toto decided to make a quick decision on the next steps and see an example letter of interest.
It is the moment when the tyranny of Prince Ark, who has whispered a group of criminals to me and told me that if I read the letter, I would know. Must have pushed a bunch of nasty criminals on me.
"Well, shall we read the letter"
I was anxious to be alone with something, so Toto read it with me.
"Kurli, how are you? I'm fine. The King's Capital has had beautiful weather lately and thanks to it I feel bright. Hmm? You don't want to talk about that? Tell us the key story? Ha ha, no! I know what you want to know in a hurry. That's why I'm in a hurry!
... and if you do too much, you're going to break the letter, so let's just get down to business'
This guy's so angry! There's a crack in the letter.
"The people I sent to you were the ones who were being held in the Great Prison of Wang Du. There's been a slight riot since the intel came in that you're alive. It's pretty much out of hand. Wang Du is just, it's tough. I don't want any more trouble. That's why they leave it to you. I just told them you wanted to call them to Helanese territory. That was already a festival. Then I asked for those guys. Give me a good hand like when I was in jail."
... Isn't that a real pain in the ass? They sent the prisoners out of control in the Wang capital to Helan territory... Are you planning on replenishing the Magic Train project? They do seem to be helpful in their work.
Nevertheless, I have to check one thing out first.
"Toto, am I a criminal?
"Yeah? No, I don't know..."
"It seems from the contents of the Prince's letter that I was also in the Grand Prison of Wang Du. I hope it's just bullshit."
"Oh! Yes, there were times when you were definitely caught in the King's Capital before the news broke out. You mean that."
It's not bullshit!!
Sounds like they were really caught.
Guilty charges!? What's the charge?
In the meantime, the letter was torn.
"Are you sure!?
Toto was surprised, but it's okay. This stuff. Then incinerated with magic. Dust and disappeared.
I want to erase it from my memory just today. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to command those people. I want to forget about it about today and get it straight.
"Toto, once the Gap Chamber of Commerce has arranged, shall we forget about the letter and go to the hot spring?"
"If you want, I will, but can you forget?
I'll forget about it, even if it's mean.
"Let's go!
"It's a hot spring in Helan. Looking forward to it. I only have memories of you drinking hot water and bellying, so I can finally find out how good it really is."
What was I doing before I lost my memory?
You came with the truth that you were in the Grand Prison.
