I kept being called incompetent at home, but it seemed super competent globally

Well then... you've completely accumulated work.

The time goes back to that morning.

Ariel looked at the pile of paperwork piled on the desk and sighed.

During the few days she was absent from work, documents filled her desk.

I can see how hard you're doing every day.

"I plan to do it today, but I will process the stuck document in the morning. There will be three meetings in the afternoon. In the evening, you will attend a dinner party hosted by the lord, and in the evening, you will hold business meetings in the lord's hall. After that...."

The secretary who was standing beside Aarea read the plan out loud.

Having heard that, Aarea immediately skipped the instruction.

“The afternoon meeting was definitely a budget meeting and a branch manager meeting, right?”

"Yes, that's right."

"Put it all together and compress the time. In my spare time, I'll fill in more details about the opportunity."

I understand.

"And then the timber that I was consulted about the other day." What's going on with that? "

“I'll check, just a moment.”

Having said that, the secretary quickly left the room.

Then, a few minutes later, he comes back to Aarea with a document in his hand.

"We have received confirmation." Currently, about 70% of the required amount is arranged. "

"It's late, isn't it?" You should be done by now. ”

"It seems that a bandit has appeared on the lumber transport route." Looks like you took the time to respond. ”

"You won't be able to make it like this." This is a bad deal with the Kingdom. ”

With that said, Ariel put her finger on the tip of her chin to make her think.

The surrounding area is full of silence and tension.

And-.

Sure enough, there's an aging ship that's going to retire soon, right?

Yes, thank you.

"Put the wood on that ship, and hand over the ship itself."

"I mean... sell the ship as lumber?"

"That's right." If we dismantle it, we'll be short. ”

"However, even if you sell the ship as timber, it will make a profit...."

A secretary with a sinister face.

At the Fiore Chamber of Commerce, it is still a ship that can be used on active duty, even if it is close to retirement.

If I sold it as a ship, it would cost several times as much as if I sold it as lumber.

It was a difference that I could hardly see as a merchant.

But Ariel says she doesn't know.

“Maintaining a relationship of trust with the Kingdom is paramount. Some deficits are acceptable.”

Got it.

"Moreover, the situation in the East is stabilizing and the demand for ships is likely to drop." We should also process it quickly. "

"... you've been thinking so much, it's a stone."

Although he was a secretary who praised Ariel's judgment, Ariel's face on the other side was a sad face.

It is only natural for her to do so.

Let's change our minds and move on to the next job.

"You don't have to be me to approve this document." Don't turn it around again. "

Got it.

"Besides, I've already looked from here to here." There is probably no problem, but this new store opening plan cannot be passed. Too much expense, find out if there's any waste somewhere. ”

I understand, I'll look into it right away.

"As a precaution, you can do the survey from two routes." It's possible that someone is overwhelmed. "

“Now, let's get both management and audit to look into it.”

Keep doing your job like this for a few hours.

I was about twenty minutes away from lunch when my morning job was almost finished.

Aarea stretches out on the spot and loosens her body lightly.

Phew, it looks like our work for today will be finished soon, right?

Aarea-sama, if you're a normal person, it would take a week of work.

If you can't do this, the Chamber of Commerce won't go around.

The secretary softly offered tea to match the words.

Aarea gently puts it in her mouth and suddenly makes a steep face.

"By the way, I heard one rumor."

“What is it?”

"I think someone from the Conlon Chamber of Commerce is coming and going in this city." Is it true? "

"We have already started to investigate about that. But I think the credibility is quite high."

”... it's getting a bit troublesome, isn't it?”

Aarea put her hand on her forehead in trouble.

She turns straight to the window and looks across the street across the garden.

"Konlon is a dark arms dealer without saying it." If they have the magic stones and technology of this city, it will be terrifying. ”

"Yes. First of all, it will definitely create an unbelievable weapon."

"That's all we have to stop."

An area to declare with a strong tone.

She clenched her fist and swung it down vigorously.

"I'll take responsibility." I don't care what you do, so find out who Konlon is who sneaked into the city. ”

"Ha!!"

"Then, that vault was particularly tightly guarded." Double your manpower, please. "

It's twice... a hundred people?

"Yeah, I'm worried if I don't have that much." If that technology leaks, it will be terrible. "

The clock rang as I flew my instructions.

It is time for lunch in no time.

Aarea suddenly sighed as she cut through the conversation.

If Noah were here at this time, I'd be exhausted.

An area where you can clearly imagine your brother who is not here.

And none of them heard the crushing accurately on the spot.
