Hakai no Miko

Joash lowered his back to the recommended chair with a snarling, light-hearted laugh.

"Hey. I'm so glad to see you this way with the famous Son of Destruction."

I was under the impression that the Ethereal Horse was a lot lighter because he said he was the son of a Jebor merchant.

More precisely, it's childish. He looks uncomfortable sitting in a chair and looks around the room in a chill. And when you see an elf woman holding back on the wall, you're smiling and waving small.

When Lazarev, who just seemed to see it, speaks down, Joash smiles lightly and shows it.

"With all these beautiful women, I stuck with them. Exactly, the famous' Son of Destruction 'in rumors. It's not like any other woman."

"Famous for rumors, is it?

I didn't know that was happening. When the Ethereal Horse asked, Joash said, "Yo ho!," he shouted, shouting exaggerated and surprised.

"Is that it? Don't you know? There's not a day in the West End where your name doesn't come up, is there?

Joash reveals rumors of a pale horse whispering in the alley. It was something without roots or leaves, such as a palace built with treasures gathered by the Ethereal Horse as far as evil and treacherous transgression was concerned, where she was drowning in lust by stripping the beauty of the elves.

That's right, the Ethereal Horse, too, if they say such rumors face to face, they'll stick to their faces.

Even if the Ethereal Horse is the ruler of this city. It is not surprising that, if such a rude imitation is made against a ruler who holds the right to life and death, he would normally be decapitated.

"Well, well, don't be so distracted. There are some good rumors these days."

But you are aware that he is protected by the glory of his father, a ten member Jeboah commissioner, and Joash had no way of getting bad.

"The use of God who appeared to save Zoan's predicament! Or a prince in exile, flowing from a distant exotic country, is about to rebuild his kingdom in this land! Oh, my God. Hey, you have a dream."

Lately, I had also heard that Ethereal Horse was finally gaining recognition for his rule, but I didn't know it was even spreading such rumors. Unexpectedly to the blushing Ethereal Horse, Joash grins unwillingly and embarks on himself.

"- So, what's the truth? Just tell me."

Asked with insecurity like a street corner public tale, the Ethereal Horse laughs bitterly.

"I'm not such a fine bloodshot."

"Speaking of which, my house and grandfather's money were pirates. Southern Sand Kingdom - Did You Know? Based there, they went around a lot. So I started doing business with the accumulated treasures. - Yes, this has happened recently..."

I thought Ethereal Horse was going to explore his qualities, and Joash had no sign of adhering to it, and he kept chatting.

But I don't know that the chatter will stay. Even after one talk, the next topic pops up again soon, and when I think so, it changes to another. Exactly, there is no curtain.

Meanwhile, as Eladia quietly stepped down to the wall, she secretly called the elf woman in charge during the refrain.

"How's it going between that one's refrains?

"He had spoken and chatted with several female officials, including me,"

In response to a report by a woman official, Eladia stares at Joash's back, who continues to peruse and chat to the pale horse.

Are you sure you're just a lightweight guy?

But immediately deny the idea yourself. From earlier on, Eladia complained of tingling and danger.

Eladia, believing in her own inquiry, when she stands quietly behind Joash, teases her right ear towards the Ethereal Horse and shows it. That was a signal when prompting attention that had been decided in advance to be the Ethereal Horse.

The Ethereal Horse, overwhelmed by Joash's chatter and only half mechanically hammering, returns to me on Eladia's signal. When he stopped chatting about Joash with one cough, while he didn't talk out again, Aoi Horse hurriedly cut out an errand.

"Mr. Joash. Actually, I need to ask you something."

"Yo ho! Right. Hey, it was fun chatting with you."

Nico and an innocent grin, Joash continued to ask.

"So, if you ask me to do you a favor, are you sure it's a business meeting?

It naturally intends to pay the intermediary fee because it puts a lot of effort into mediating with the Holmeer State. Speaking of business talks, the Ethereal Horse, who thought it would be business talks, affirmed.

Then with a smile, Joash narrows his eyes even more like a thread.

"So before we go into business, can I ask for a payment?

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Pay people, is it?

To his sudden offer, the Ethereal Horse could only repeat Joash's words.

"Look, if it's a business meeting, there's a lot to be told, right? It would be more convenient if we spoke alone."

So Joash turns his face to Lazarev, who was a figurine next door.

"Mr. Lazarev, please take your seats off for a moment."

Joash remained smiling, but that was an unspeakable tone.

Originally, Razalev, whose load had won too much, such as talking about negotiations with the country, is fortunate enough to quit his seat.

Soon after I realized it, the Ethereal Horse stopped, and it had an atmosphere where I had to pay for it.

To this situation, Eladia, standing behind Joash, bites his cheek.

After all, it wasn't just a chat.

Joash was observing the Ethereal Horse as he continued to chat.

What topics do you show interest in? What topic do you know? On the contrary, what do you not know? And how do you react?

And perhaps Joash realized that if the Ethereal Horse was poor (cum) in the chat, he would unconsciously glance at Eladia.

Eladia was convinced that the purpose of this payment was to eliminate herself, who had supported the Ethereal Horse from the shadows at the negotiating table.

Eladia does not consider the Ethereal Horse a fool. I admired all that and the occasional idea of even keeping an eye on myself.

But still, there is no denying the disadvantage that comes from inexperience.

If I let you two alone here, perhaps Joash will put pressure on the heart of the Ethereal Horse with his hands, such as words, attitudes, and the conditions under which he presents them.

If they use such hands, pale horses with little experience will be full of heads without being able to deal with them. That way, I can cook as much as I want later.

Moreover, the Ethereal Horse had fatal shortcomings in the negotiations.

That's why Eladia was trying to get Ethereal Horse to gain a little experience from small negotiations. I didn't even expect Eladia to have Joash-like crooks in here.

This is a very bad thing.

I want to make a reason for myself to stay here at all costs, but Joash has already driven Lazarev away. Yet it was difficult to say that we could not pay for this one right now.

If the other person was just a merchant, he could push it through with the lord's power, ready to make bad rumors.

But it's hard to be a Jebor merchant.

I hear that in Jeboa, where the Merchant Alliance is strong, the Merchants are awarded associate titles.

Associate titles are one-generation titles awarded to high meritorious civilians and others. It is seen a step below the title to be inherited, but those with associate titles must nevertheless be treated equally to the nobility. If you try to push power through someone like that, you'll be rude. And that's disrespect for the other country - in the worst case, it could also be taken as a declaration of war.

I had felt the blushing gaze of a pale horse who was in trouble about how to deal with it, but Eladia couldn't stop instantly either.

But there were those who could not read the air in such a place.

"Be alone with Soma and so on!

It is Shemr.

"Soma is my" you under the umbilical. "There's no way you can leave that in front of one enemy or anything!

To that, all Eladia or Ethereal Horse also chills the liver. I told my opponent I was going to ask for an intermediary to be my enemy in front of him. I can't help but be disrespectful.

But Joash, the one told, giggled and showed.

"I don't like it. I just want to have a friendly conversation with Master Soma, right?

Besides, Shemr snorts huffily.

"Lie. Your eyes are the eyes of a wolf after his prey."

Besides, Joash smiled and glanced.

Eladia was about to graduate to Shemr's words and deeds, which could also be regarded as repeated disrespect.

If this kicks Joash in the seat by saying he's "disrespectful," he'll have to offer some kind of condition from here to get him back in the seat again.

But Joash reacted unexpectedly.

"Yo-ho!"

Even though he thought he would take his seat pretending to be angry, Joash raised his voice of admiration.

"I see, you're right if you ask me. For a merchant, words are swords, and negotiation is just a duel. I didn't know you'd feel that, that's great. - Good. As a witness to this duel, you can stay."

Besides, Shemr nodded as though it were natural. Eladia, who was surprised by the unexpected developments, also rushed to say, "Then myself," but Joash says ahead of time.

"You asked me to pay for it, so let's give it up."

This means that no further concessions will be made.

"You can't," said Joash, glancing sideways at Eladia.

It is one of the negotiating hands that by acknowledging some of the other's demands, you can jump other demands.

By acknowledging Shemr's presence, Joash eliminated any room for Eladia to intervene. And Shemr, who could have stayed, too, no matter how much the Ethereal Horse is driven into predicament in front of her, if she is said to be a duel attendant, she won't be able to get her hands on it, given her temperament.

Being completely at the forefront, Eladia had no choice but to push her carelessness into her chest and back down to the next room with a smile made.

But with an elf's hearing, it is also possible to listen to the conversations of the Ethereal Horses while in the next room. If so, decide to be prepared to jump in to break up the talks even if your relationship with Jeboa breaks down.

"Sister, I've been asking about him."

One woman has been earing at such Eladia. I received a signal from Eladiah, and I was listening to Joash from Lazarev, who had left.

But Lazarev, who was just being used, didn't know so much about Joash, and he didn't get any information that would overshadow the status quo. At best, it is one rumor that has come to light.

Unlike my brother, who chops up the Chamber of Commerce as his father's right arm, I wonder if he took the liberty of taking a tour of the Exotic on board the Chamber's boat, the prodigal son who, even when he comes back to Jeboa, just makes a fool of himself with his friends who don't know how to do it every day. And the nickname is this.

"The Great Ugly of the Shapiro Chamber of Commerce. - That's what they call it."

It was unusual for Eladia, who usually kept grinning calmly, and threw up in a tone that just punched her tongue.

"Is that a lie?"

That Eladia speculation was not wrong.

Indeed, Joash is known as a connoisseur of the Shapiro Chamber of Commerce.

But from those nearer, it was called:

The secret of Menahem, and.
