Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

Early morning.

Perhaps even Neferry was still asleep when I got out of bed and went down to the kitchen. There's someone I need to see.

"That, Mr. Yashiro. Good morning. You're early today."

There was a ginet in the kitchen that woke up early, as usual. I'm worried you're getting a good night's sleep.

And before Ginette, a single bird.

"Heh, I thought Yashiro was an absolute sleeper. I've reviewed it."

It smells like showa, it's neferry.

... after all, can't beat chickens, get up early.

"Look, Mr. Yashiro. Today's eggs are so big."

"Isn't that amazing?

Ginette and Neferry show me freshly picked eggs filled with baskets.

Eggs and slaughtered hen meat are not passed through the merchant guild and delivered via the garbage collection guild to the Yangdu Pavilion. This is based on the first contract, and we are given priority in delivering the required quantity of eggs.

Around here, I'm discussing it with Asunt and getting it accommodated.

Food is also wholesaled in garbage collection guilds from Mormat and Delia. Otherwise, I can't make a donation or anything.

Naturally, I also buy ingredients from Asunt.

We talked over and over again to find a compromise so that we wouldn't make a profit or loss on each other and settled down in our present form.

Most importantly, when a crop is abundant due to climate change or disaster, it responds ad hoc.

So, the guy I want to see is Ascens.

"Has Asunt come yet?

"No, not yet. I thought it was time to come..."

"I'm sorry"

"Oh, rumors, yes"

Nico laughs and Ginette leaves for the courtyard.

Previously, we exchanged food in the garden on the table, but because the food pantry was in the courtyard, we created a trick so that we could interact in the courtyard.... Oomaro.

So basically, I interact with the vendor in the courtyard and in the kitchen.

"Oh, that's unusual. I didn't expect to see Mr. Yashiro."

With a nice smile from people, the pig face looks at this one.

This guy's been pretty rounded up since one anot.... my body, but my personality.

He no longer does anything to fool people, but rather actively listens to other people's concerns and gives them advice on how to solve them.

Anything, he said, "I learned that if Yashiro manages, business will work"... but I didn't give advice to anyone else.

"Asunt, do you have any sugar?

"Yes, there is. You've got fine brown sugar..."

"Oh, no. Upper white sugar. Or granulated sugar."

"……………………………………………"

Blood draws from Assunto's face.

".................. Could I wind up? Upper white sugar is a luxury product. If I were to root for Mr. Yashiro I would go bankrupt."

"You're a bad listener, you are!

Who could wind up?

"If you do, I want you to sell it. I want to hear the market before I do."

"Is it the market? Really? Is that the market?"

I must have been very horrified. It was a bit like a broken tape recorder.

"If it's white sugar, it's 80 RB for 10 grams."

"You've got to be kidding me, Conoyaloo!

"This is still the best discounted price!?

I'm serious about Assunto's fright. I'm sure there's no lie in that word.

What the hell is that... isn't that the price of the seasoning?

If you use about 100 grams to make a cake... 800 RB in a one-hole, serve cream and fruit from there, add tax and profit... I don't mean 3000 RB at all... I'm not eating dinner in a luxury cruiser...

"Don't be too expensive..."

"They say it's noble food."

Wipe the sweat off your forehead and Asunt answers.

Aristocratic food, huh...

"Um, Mr. Yashiro. If it's sweet, isn't it enough because it has brown sugar and honey?

"Well, I'm not crippled..."

You can't make the cake I think, then...

Speaking of cakes would be strawberry shortcakes!?

Without stepping on the basics first, there can be no such thing as a development ahead!

It seems that the amount of wheat determines the tax, so I'm going to put Rare Cheesecake and Mont Blanc as the main focus on slowing things down. After that, use rice flour to reduce wheat use.

But first we have to make strawberry shortcakes!

Because strawberry shortcakes are the cake in the most delightful cake!

First, you have to look and feel happy.

And you have to be happy with the word 'cake'.

To do this, I can't take strawberry shortcakes off.

In order to do that, we need the upper white sugar.

"When this happens... push it against the sugar cane farmer and get the skill of a garbage collection guild..."

"Oh, I don't think you can do that."

Asunt will stop me before we take action.

"That's noble food. It is grown on aristocratic controlled agricultural land and distributed by aristocrats via merchant guilds. There's no room for others to interrupt."

"Really?

"Yep. Even if you manage to get sugar cane, only sugar artisans can refine it. And they won't be able to live unless the noblemen wholesale the sugar cane... we have no other way but to have the noblemen hem the sugar as they please."

Exclusively sipping sweet juice... just sugar.

"I've never eaten sugar, either."

Neferry bends his beak to a letter to................ you're clever, dude.

"Do you have a ginet? Having eaten."

"A few times when my grandfather was here... not at all these days"

"That's right. Too high..."

"If that's the situation, maybe there's no choice.... that, but. Then why is brown sugar in circulation?

"That's because it's heavily refined in the process of training sugar artisans."

Assunt answers Ginette's question.

In growing artisans to refine upper-white sugar, they probably refine large quantities of brown sugar.

Brown sugar, though never cheap, circulates steadily. It's not the kind of price I can't get my hands on.

"What about the brown sugar made by the top notch versus the upper white sugar made by the top notch? We don't distribute anything less than second-class."

Looks like more than an apprentice, less than a master sugar maker makes it.

"Well, the sugar artisans will be all over the place because they protect their lives, so it's subtle if you'll cooperate."

According to Assunto's story, sugar artisans are divided into several groups, each with its own factory and refining its own sugar.

They say you can decide on the sales price at each factory, and they will wholesale it to the merchant guild at a price that is more profitable due to their manufacturing volume. They also allow over-the-counter sales at the factory.

So, what's the problem...

"There's no sugar cane coming in. To catch the value, nobles give only a very small amount of sugar cane to the factory."

Doing so limits sugar circulation and increases values. If the value rises, so does the price of sugar cane, and nobility can benefit. It will also be possible to keep sugar away from the hands of the common people and monopolize it with the nobles.

It is said to be the food of the aristocracy because the aristocracy manipulates prices and makes them food for the aristocracy to enjoy.

"You say some factory will cut prices for the common people... and from now on, that factory will no longer have sugar cane in it. Until then, but nobles want to monopolize sugar. profits as well as in consumption."

"Why, until you do that..."

"Maybe you think sugar cane will deplete. We need a lot of farmland, for sugar cane cultivation. Therefore, if the land suffers devastating damage due to some influence… it will be difficult to revive the sugar cane fields next"

"Are you constantly reluctant to distribute for inaction that might come one day?

"Right. Because sugar is an alluring condiment that captivates people."

Stupid.

There's an idiot.

Stupid is rushing.

"Tighten it up with a merchant guild and confiscate the cane."

"Oh, you don't know? The top merchant guild is noble, isn't it?

"What, that? The merchant guild doesn't move for the common man. Proclamation?

"I'm not saying the whole thing is. Because our lower end is profit first. Oh, it's trust first."

You're lying.

You look like a squid bastard.

"But it won't be the first time that a merchant guild puts pressure on nobility."

"You're putting pressure on the lord."

"That's right. How many nobles do you think can't be lords? If the lord undermines the trust of the inhabitants and is banished from the seat of the lord, chances will come to the other nobles"

"The lord keeps eating up from the other nobles."

It's the fate of the powerful.

Does this city consist of a church, a royal family, a lord following it, and other nobles aiming for its throne while devouring the blood taxes of the common people?

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

"But come on, this neighborhood is very livable, isn't it? Sometimes people in the city are just good people... I don't know what to say..."

Neferry is scratching his head and looking for words.

I don't know if there's a lot of words out there, I'm flirting to the right, flirting to the left.

... you haven't forgotten what you were thinking in three steps, have you?

"Being able to focus on your work is also a feature of this district. Many districts suffer from heavy taxes, conscription and other obligations imposed on the people."

"Yes, yes! That's it, that. We can just do our jobs, so we can use our time effectively, and taxes are a lot cheaper, right, this district?

"Break, you can say. Well, except..."

Asunt looks at me with meaningful eyes, where he separates words.

I know what you're trying to say.

District 42 is the bottom district. Only then can we turn a discriminatory gaze from other districts.

From the rest of the neighborhood, they say, "Cheap and natural. Because that's not where people live".

Those who don't think so are the people of District 42 and some of the people of District 40. And it will only be those involved in District 42 at work, like Asunt.

"The lord here has worked hard enough."

"Me, too, I think. I've never really thought about taxes, but it's because of the Lord's hard work."

Being able to stay out of it means you're not suffering from it.

Normally, it's hard to recognize, but it's pretty happy.

... Until a while ago, these guys were desperate to live. It was not in very normal condition.

That's why I can see how grateful the current 'normal' is.

I guess that's especially true of neferries and the like because they're sensitive.

"The lords of District 42 are peculiar. Above all, he thinks about the people, takes precedence, and tries to wealthy the territory even by cutting himself off. Oh, the Lords of the Fortieth Ward are quite wonderful too... but you won't be rivalled by the Lords of the Forty-second Ward"

"Is that a compliment? Are you fooling around?

"It's a compliment to 'It's silly'. It's actually stupid. I can't believe you cut your own money and save someone else's hunger."

"Huh? Um..."

To Assunto's words, Ginette distorts her expression.

Open your mouth in a slightly bewildered atmosphere.

"Is it stupid to do something for people? I think that's a great idea..."

I guess the devout Alvistan Ginette doesn't understand what Assunto is saying.

But, you know, that church that you believe in also benefits from monopolizing staple foods.

"It's an extreme story, but who do you think the lord should give that bread to if there was only one bread while everyone was on the verge of starvation?

"It's... you guys divide it evenly... or something"

"That would extend the life of everyone just a little bit, and then you'd be wiped out."

…………

I used to say something similar to yap rock in a corn farmer...

"The leader should survive first. Otherwise, District 42 will perish. If there is a lord, at least 42 districts will survive. Even if we cannot save the hungry now, we can take action not to let the hungry out after this. In the long run, it is those who can act like that who are right"

Destroyed by the immediate emotion... I can't believe we're talking about this.

"So the lords of the 42nd arrondissement, 'as lords,' are stupid and stupid."

"............ but"

"But 'as a human being' is awesome"

"-!?

I'll say what Ginette probably wanted to say and what she wanted to hear out of my mouth.

There are times when you want to think so, not as a reason but as a creed.

"A lord who tries to protect his people even at the expense of himself. That's not a half-breed struggle. You could lose your life, or other nobles could kick your ass. Still, I think I'm cool with a lord running around trying to enrich his people."

"Yes! I think so, too!

"That's why Asunt is saying. 'It's silly,' he said, 'a compliment."

"... I see. That's what happened."

But I can also say that the way it is done seems to protect the inhabitants and is actually in danger.

If Estella's house was kicked off the lord's seat, pulled down, and the new lord came to rule District 42, and he suddenly said something like "multiply taxes", the residents of this district would collapse in unison.

We must not forget that we are pregnant with that kind of danger.

In order not to do so, we need to protect the Lords in the people.

I'm going to give you the best I can, too.

"But I don't want the lord to have to."

"If the lord is unscrupulous, I'll move."

It's not where I want District 42 to be.

I'll protect him.

At that time...

Gangoro, Gashan!

- And there was a huge noise in the dining room.

"What, what, the sound now!?

Neferry stretches his neck and looks around just fine.

... Oh, the chickens I had in elementary school used to make these moves...

etc and not if you are immersed in a nostalgic mood.

"From the dining room, right?"

"Oh. I'm gonna go check it out."

We all meet face to face and head to the dining room.

There...

"... there he was..."

There was Estella rolling around the table and falling flashy.

"What are you doing, you?

"Ahhh!?

Jumping over the knocked down table, Estella retreats to the corner of the dining room.

Stop, stop, stop! The table's going down again!

"Do it! Um, chi, chi, no! Bo, I, hiccup, haven't had breakfast with everyone in a long time... no, you're trying to help me make a donation... I cleaned up my job yesterday and came here first thing in the morning, but nobody came out when I went into the dining room, and then I heard something talk in the kitchen, so I don't know... Beh, I'm not going to eavesdrop on you!

You chewed big for not having it, Conoyaloo.

"... you, how long have you been listening?

Slightly, my cheek raises the temperature.

"Eh... all the time... 'Lords here are the best as humans'... from around"

Damn you listening........................!?

"So, the......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................." I can't say any more. No, no, no, no!

"Ah! Mr. Estella!?

Hold your face, Estella jumps out of the dining room at full speed.

This is exactly what it would be like to get rid of a rabbit.

I even feel like my bright red stained ear was pulling the tail of the red light, at such a rate.

"... what the hell was that?

…………

"I don't know," I couldn't even say.

Damn... you Estella... it's too bad timing.

That's what I can tell you because I didn't hear it in person... I'm not going to hear it!

Neferry peeked into my face, struggling badly to handle this, I don't know what to do.

"That, Yashiro? Something wrong with your face?

"It's nothing!

"No, but. Give me your forehead for a second."

That's what Neferry says. Stick his own forehead to my forehead.

Bird's face approaching suddenly!? I'm a little scared!

"Yikes!? Oh, I'm sorry, if I did, I'd be embarrassed!

Hold your face, Neferry jumps out of the dining room at full speed.

This is exactly what it would be like to get rid of a rabbit.

I even feel like a bright red tosaka was pulling the tail of the red light, at such a speed.

... but I don't care about this one.

I don't care.

"Ooh, ooh. Around Mr. Yashiro, as long as he's busy and envious."

"Ugh, Asunt. I'll make you cry."

"Nfu...... scary scary. By the way, if that seemed willing, would you go see the sugar cane fields once? There's a huge farm in District XVI."

District XVI is as far away from District 42 as it is on the diagonal line.

Even if you go out of your way to see it, it would be useless if the nobility was well managed.

"I'd rather see the nearest sugar maker than that."

"Then there is one sugar factory in the fortieth district. Shall I even write a reference?

"Oh, please."

"So…… the reward is that we want you to accommodate the sugar once it's cheaper"

"... tiny"

"Because I'm a merchant"

I got a letter of introduction, but he wants to talk to me first, so it's tomorrow to visit the sugar factory.

I want to see it for once. Do you have any breakthroughs... if nothing, why don't you go to the sugar cane fields too... in the XVI district, day trips could be tough.

Now without any progress, the day ended inconclusively.

And that night......... once again, he came.

"Good evening, it's me"

"Natalia... isn't it some kind of routine to come here in the middle of the night"

"I really need to ask you something."

"Now what?

In the middle of the night, the maid chief sits in the yard of the Yangdu Pavilion.

I don't know if this guy's a work enthusiast or a free man. You're him.

"Actually, the lady said, 'Let's break down this house for the inhabitants and build a sugar cane field! It's okay! Whatever difficulties you're in, I'm sure there's someone out there who can protect you! Yikes!' And so I began to accumulate this inexplicable nonsense..."

"Hey here. My respects are fading."

No matter how sorry your daughter is or how much you have left, it's because she's a lady. Don't forget there.

"So, your face came to me before I thought, 'I don't know what the cause is,' as soon as I came to ask for an explanation."

"Explain yourself, Mendoy, tie Estella up and lock her up for a couple of days. You'll grow up soon."

... and Estella. You, you've been listening to me for a long time.

Damn...... you're making it a little hard to look at each other.

Let's act alone for a while. Let's do that. And I thought,
