Godly shop's cheat fragrance

Episode 34 "The Strongest Merchant and the New Way

Akira Commercial Guild is, to put it bluntly, a general trading company.

In other words, it is a distribution trade.

In Japan, it connects and matches factories and retail stores.

In this world, it's a bridge between workshops and guilds.

While the main purpose of the guild is to protect small and medium-sized workshops and artisans, the people participating in the formation ceremony have little to do with the current situation. And the artisans and workshops aren't participating in it in the first place.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed at this point, but they will essentially be dealing in finance as well.

It's truly a giant general trading company.

I let the comforting words flow into the microphone.

'Once you join the Akira Commercial Guild, you will be held back by all sorts of pressures, and you won't be able to wield your skills freely or sell your honed skills cheaply. You will be able to distribute the products you want at your own risk, wherever you want. The other workshops ...... blacksmithing and woodworking workshops are even free to join hands, which was previously prohibited. After all, our guild doesn't have any rules that bind the exchange between different industries.

This is more of a presentation to the workshop, so it doesn't mean much to the Chamber of Commerce here, but if we repeat it this many times, word will soon spread.

The Chamber of Commerce has a workshop. And they don't let that workshop be free.

You can join the Akira Commercial Guild even if you belong to another chamber of commerce, but I don't know if we'll allow it.

It would be the most peaceful thing if the Chamber of Commerce itself would join our commercial guild.

As expected, it would be difficult.

I'll finish my commentary with an explanation of the commercial guild after that as well.

Then the scheduled, final event.

''Now then, I would like to ask for a final word from His Majesty the Emperor.

I don't want to say I'm going to give it to you, but I'm the one doing the hosting, so I can't help it.

Protected by his knight guards, the emperor slowly walks up to the stage.

Seeing the participants who had been buzzing about the event quieted down like a bolt of water, I was reminded once again that this is a feudal society, after all.

I had already met the emperor a few times, but when it came to this kind of occasion, I was overwhelmed by his majesty.

I got down on one knee and hung my head as my guard knight instructed me.

'Aquila Verriero, the establishment of this Chamber of Commerce, was a great cause. I am impressed by your ideas, which are very different from those of the merchants. You can lead the new trade association and work for the true glory of Atlandia.

It's not that I'm not interested in working for the empire, but if it's for the benefit of the inhabitants and merchants, it will be useful to your country in the end.

Most of all, it would be nice to be remembered by those in power.

''I assure you that I will do my best.

Mm. I'm counting on it.

The participants buzzed at those words from the Emperor.

They said, "His Majesty personally expected this? Or, "So much for that guy being bought! And. 'Akira, be damned! I was generally surprised, though some of the voices were subtle and knowing.

Huh? Isn't that a canned phrase, like "good luck" or "expecting"?

I was about to wait for the emperor to leave, in a slightly cold sweat, when an unscheduled voice came up.

''May I have a moment?''

The one who quietly raised his voice was the Sun God Heoris Church and Pope Afa Vofol Malphas.

Hey, hey, hey, it's now an official event and you're not going to do anything unscheduled.

I have to stay down until the emperor leaves, and when I'm troubled, the emperor turns around as if nothing has happened.

''Pope, what's going on?''

I would like to make some contact with the noblemen and ladies of the House of Lords.

The Pope bows his head in condescension.

''Hmm. The words of the gods are paramount in our God-fearing country. I beg you.

Thank you.

The emperor, who had been heading out, returned to his original seat, and the pope, who had been replaced, tried to get up on the platform, but I was in a hurry because I couldn't move with my head down.

'Akira, you may go beside your wife.

'...... ha! Thank you!

The emperor calls out to me, and fortunately, I move to Cherina's special seat.

There is a large space and a large chair for Chelina, whose belly is growing so large that she doesn't know when she will be born.

And the elven ladies, who are overprotective of pregnant women, surround them.

''Hmmm, it was a great honor to be given such an expectant word by His Majesty the Emperor.

Chelina smiles happily.

'Isn't that what you call a social call?'

No way. I'm the head of the biggest state on this continent? Every compliment means something.

I knew Akira-san was great!

It's not just Chelina, but Lalila is excited too. It's a feudal society, after all.

Luluil prepares a chair for me.

''Come on, mister, sit here...

As always, he gives me a smile and a smiley face.

From the bottom of my heart, I'm glad to be his son.

I straighten my collar and turn to the podium, just as the Pope is about to begin speaking.

''I am pleased to be able to participate in this auspicious occasion. Now, on this day when the important people of the empire are gathered, we, the Church, would like to make an important announcement.

It's not on the agenda, but maybe.

I will be contacting you from all the churches participating today: the Moon Goddess Thermias, the Earth Mother Goddess Aigas, the Space Goddess Kazmus, and all the churches.

There is a slight buzz at the consensus of the state religion of this country, the consensus outside of the sun god, Heoris, which is the state religion of this country.

It is impolite to even interrupt the words, but it is such a great shock.

'Truly, rejoice, a new god has been born.

Rough!

This time, it was a big shock.

Words like "I knew it" and "no way" flew from here and there.

The Pope was neither angry nor reprimanded, but stood quietly and waited for the noise to die down.

'The name of the new God who has come down to the land is Melljes, the god of commerce.

Again, there is a louder buzz than before.

In the midst of it all, a single loud, angry voice entered my ears.

''Bah! Ridiculous! God of business at this time! Sono, then it's as if the Aquila Commercial Guild has been blessed by God!

Alberto Alabanto involuntarily stood up and shouted, but he hurriedly held his mouth and sat down.

If it had been the Emperor's time, he would have been caught for impiety. Fortunately, the Pope just slumped quietly, just like before.

Even from a distance, Albert was wiping sweat from all over his face, but there seemed to be no blame.

Then the Pope speaks out quietly.

'In the near future, there will be the unveiling of a new pillar in this country, a temple dedicated to Melljes, the god of commerce. All those who are here will be invited to attend, if you are able to do so.

A whispered voice flew around. 'It's the unveiling of a new god! What an honor! The God of Business! You don't have to be despised for being a merchant anymore! I'm offering you the maximum! We have to open the Chamber of Commerce's vault! And so on.

The merchants, who had hitherto been looked down upon because of their power and money, suddenly became lively.

In the midst of the commotion, a civil servant of the emperor came up to me.

The Emperor's civil servant came up to me and said, "Akira, please have your Majesty first, and then the members of the association leave in turn.

I understand.

I picked up the microphone and asked them to leave in order as I was told.

As soon as they left the hall, many people rushed over to me.

'Akira-dono! So the God of Commerce is the new religion you have been spreading!

'Yeah! You move! Our chamber of commerce is going to join the guild! You don't mind hanging up with other commercial guilds!

'Who's there! You're the idiot who used me as a stepping stone! Akira, would you like to be my Viscount's resident?

The powers that be slip in so much that I don't give them a chance to respond individually.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's not going to take much!

Now, I was just starting to turn my head to see how to fix it when I heard a groan from a nearby seat, or Celina.

"Chelina?

"U...... oh, my stomach is ......

What?

Immediately surrounding Chelina, the elven wives raised their voices.

''Ladies and gentlemen! You must leave now!

Yalalai chased the guys out of the house, who were suddenly confused by the sudden events, with a furious rush.

Eh, what?

I understand the situation in my head, but I can't think at all.

''Akira-san! I'll carry Miss Chelina, come with me!

Lara shakes my body and I reply dumbly.

'Oh,'

Dwarf, I'll take care of it.

I can't do any heavy lifting! You fucking elf!

'I'll take my place! Akira, you and your wife must leave at once!

Aggai Aravant shouts. 'Let him handle it.

'Ta, please.'

'Don't think about anything else right now, just stay with your wife! You should go too, Lalila.

Yeah, but...

It's okay. I'll take care of it.

I understand. Please, Mr. Aggai.

Yeah, hurry up.

Already the male elves in suits are about to carry Cherina away, chair by chair.

I let Lalila take my hand and start moving.

I have to admit, my mind was going blank.
