It's all one flower.

1910. Resisting Merchants

The vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows of the old shopkeeper deepened.

"At the end of the sentence, when you sell the tax payables"

"Huh...?"

I was a material store related to leather and wholesale to shoes, gloves, and bag artisans.

The old shopkeeper said with a cup of tea.

Immediately after the start of the war, the Nemolaris government began to gather materials of beastly origin.

Payments were made in the following month at the latest before the coup, but irregularly since the capitol's capture by the Nemus Liberation Army.

I understand the impact of the prolonged war on tax revenues and delays in payment, but the materialists also have a living.

Nevertheless, for the sake of national defense, both the drugstore and the leatherstore ate their teeth and barely responded to the government's request for procurement.

However, after all, as the delinquency period lengthens, things begin to flow to the quicker the payment.

In January of this year, the provisional government amended the tax law and established rules for wartime levies. It has intensified asset seizures for delinquent payers and imposed fines for excessive sales.

"Huh? In other cities, such a story is utter..."

Padorik muttered in astonishment.

"You've been around, but where were you at the beginning of this year?"

It's the eastern part of Nemolaris.

"There was still a deal with the Lake District, and the Liberation Army was strong, so the provisional government couldn't say four or five."

... Joelchi and the others often went to the Retica government district to see the official announcement.

The area of the bulletin board is limited.

Depending on the timing of the launch, it might have been replaced before the Jolluchs could confirm it.

It wasn't in the newspapers or on the bulletin boards of the government offices.

"The newspapers have become more expensive in both paper and ink." I said it on the state-run radio. "

"Huh? If I hadn't listened to such an important story, it would have been a waste of time?"

Boy soldier Morph sharpened his mouth.

The old shopkeeper laughed and almost spilled tea. The old lady touched him with her elbow and placed the tea cup, and wiped his eyes with her hands.

"Is that what the boy from the broadcasting station says?"

“We'll tell you more about the broadcast in advance, so if you miss it, someone will take notes and record it for you.”

Awellana, the pharmacist, said, the old shopkeeper could retract the laugh that was left in his mouth.

Maybe it doesn't really travel east from here.

But it's closer to Cleveland, and the Temporary Government won't reach us anymore, will it?

"There's a branch of the state broadcasting station and a branch of the national newspaper, and there's more information from the provisional government than Machagina."

The old shopkeeper makes tea and the old lady speaks on her behalf.

"There are a lot of people in the city hall who went to the Liberation Army." National institutions will not go that far. "

"Ah......"

Well, if you quit as a government official, you'll lose your income, and how many people will like it and become the words of the temporary government?

The old lady mixed her sighs and added vanilla tea to the tea utensils of the five.

You can't get information unless you choose your own radio station and read the newspapers.

The coalition Kripeus administration and the Retica interim government, which maintains its structure, impose press restrictions and move the military to conceal inconvenient information. The Nemus Liberation Army and the Lacrimalis government will continue to kill the people, even if they expose them.

It was not surprising that the people who were passionate about the Nemus Liberation Army stopped listening to the reports that they had tightened information control in a wartime special posture.

... the Temporary Government won't let me out... You said you were broadcasting the information you were hiding, so you trusted me.

"When we do business, we have to pay taxes." There is also a local tax in the city of Derevina for the temporary government. "

“The IRS won't shut up if you just pay the city tax.”

Padorlik stops taking notes and takes care of the old shopkeeper who continues to operate.

"The skin will take months to tan, and I know the skin of livestock will come, so I can't close the store."

"Besides, I've sold out everything the army wants, and I don't have it anymore."

The old lady turned to the store, but she could not see it from the kitchen.

Boy soldier Morph listens with great interest.

"What do you want with an army?"

It is a dye that can be used for shoes, gloves, and the leather of a demonic beast that becomes the defense of a demonic soldier, as well as for its dyes and Endless Bag .

Some of the dyes are magic medicine ingredients, but they're sold out, they're unavailable, and there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

The old lady smiles at Morph.

The pharmacist (giggling) Awelana clenched her fist on the table.

"By the time I got here, all the drug shops that I saw on the road were closed." Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing with your medicine? "

"Ah, if you're traveling, you must be worried that you don't have any magic potion." Soon after the war began, the curse doctor and the pharmacist (kusushi) took him to about half the government forces, and all that was left was the veterans of the yogurt and the paper newcomers. "

Grandpa, I'm talking about the drug store.

"I was just about to say it." There's always a turn, right? "

"Ah, hi-hi."

The old shopkeeper, who broke his hips, took a sip of tea and partitioned it.

Materials dealers, I closed the shop because I didn't want to pay taxes to the temporary government, but when the city monk goes home, he sells them to me.

Huh?

"Even the IRS guys can't collect without having a sales reality. Well, I know it was sold in the back of the store, and I reported to the provisional government that the store was destroyed by the war."

The old owner of the tannery smiles.

Import is delayed, so some people are really out of business and have changed jobs.

"Because the army took the exterminator, it was fatal to go to the herb garden." Many of them were attacked by demon beasts, and they're no longer in business.

The old couple all fell down, and the vanilla tea's steam fell.

There's a demon beast in the field?

The boy soldier Morph hardened his fist.

"If I had a gun, I'd have blown it up."

"Oh my, I'm trustworthy."

"Ah! Are you serious?" I had a fight with a demon beast. If you have a silver bullet, you can't do anything like that. "

"The herb garden is in the woods, so it's dangerous."

The old lady was embarrassed by the unpleasant morphs.
