It's all one flower.

After 9: 00 a.m.

The office district cafe in the heart of the city of Ignikerns was crowded there with company employees spreading their laptops, whether they were on the way to a business meeting, meeting, or outing.

Peace itself just to look at it here, but beside the menu table behind the counter is a sticker apologizing for the fact that raw material prices have soared and increased as a result of the lake blockade.

Watered the new priced paper on the menu and I could see the original price.

Coffee rises more than sevenfold in price and changes digits, and many customers drink substitute coffee for wheat and tampons that can also be picked at the Artel.

Roark also ordered a substitute coffee and settled in the corner seat.

Earlier, I sent the story I heard at the bus terminal about a "base rooftop monster" to the haulier Fiarlka.

Roark also touched his tablet device when he was at Rufus Seminary, but he's still unfamiliar with it. How could I not type as fast as Farkill or Fiarlka?

I also respond to emails from Farkill I read on the bus somehow.

- Thanks for sharing all the colors. Helpful. And you know what an Adventurer Cactacare fan forum is?

From Farkill, I got a reply without putting time aside.

- I know. I didn't write it down, but I watched it sometimes.

- What about the book? Did you read it?

- I just read the free ones on the site, what's up?

- Divine students have a lot of fans, and I was just writing on the forum. All I know is a guy with a handle name named Octo.

- That's right. Next time, I'll take a look with some caution.

- I'm in the hospital right now for example terrorism, so I don't think I wrote it down.

- Okay. Past log fishing (Asa). How's it going over there?

When I told Fiarlka earlier that I had sent her a story about a high school girl, she said, "That email, it's been forwarded," and told me how to send it simultaneously.

- I heard it was just a shadow demon. No tricks, though, huh? Didn't I tell you which base it was?

- Yeah. Isn't it because when you say that much to a boulder, you find out?

I don't know where or who's listening.

The boulder girls also had a valve for information that they should not give out.

- What does it have to do with saying that the star sign was looking into it?

- I'll do a little research over here. Roark, you're on the spot.

Submit your plans for today and clear your ears for conversations around you.

Serious business talks were woven into the dissolution of professional sports teams because of the war, the economy so far from the beginning of the year to the early summer, and rumours about what happened to company managers after bankruptcy, which yielded quite a bit.

Roark listens to conversations about bankrupt companies being exchanged in front of the diagonal seat.

Older men and young women speak with their laptops spread out, respectively. They both wore good quality suits to see if they worked for some big company.

There are many small family-run town factories in the western capital of Artel, Rufus.

As soon as the Lacrimaris kingdom laid a lake blockade, the company, which originally had a high percentage of bicycle operations, fell flat with tight monthly financial flows.

"As you can see, the number of bankruptcies last year has protruded in the three months immediately following the blockade on the lake"

"After that, you've just calmed down a bit, more than the average over the last decade. Again in July..."

A man sitting in the back, in Roark's diagonal seat, miserably lost his word about whether he was letting his laptop display the same graph as the woman in front of him.

The woman across the street from the man continued with a voice with no temperature.

"Because the shareholders' meeting of large companies will be concentrated. It reflected successive resolutions that were detrimental to subcontracting."

"If subcontracting crumbles, even large companies won't be able to do it."

"There has been a move by major manufacturers to change their sourcing destinations to Decare Republic. This flow began much earlier with the end of the Decea Civil War, increased after the reconstruction of Decea International Airport and accelerated at once by a lake blockade"

"Because Decare is cheaper for labor, and even if it costs more for transportation, it's still cheaper than making it domestically. However, if there is more bankruptcy in the midst of the war costs, tax revenues will fall and social security costs will increase..."

"For secular companies, securing their own profits, dividends to shareholders, is a top priority"

The man turns a pitiful eye to the screen, but the voice of the young woman is as harsh as the north wind across Lake Lacus. I sat with my back to Roark and didn't even know the look on my face.

... secular companies?

Roark hooked up feeling somewhat familiar with the voice.

A woman switches the display of her laptop from a graph to a map somewhere.

"The situation is opaque ahead of the war, many domestic companies are cautious about expanding new businesses and factories, and bankrupt factories and personal shops are unable to buy more than 70% of the time, so it is difficult to go forward collecting foreclosures"

"Because inheritance is a debt and a set. Survivors and relatives pulled their hands, both binary and tertiary... so it was the end of the year, and the chain went bankrupt... surely there was some land missing and floating in the universe?

The woman continues nodding at the dark voice of the man.

"Yes, it's just that companies outside the country see this move from a different perspective"

"For example?"

"Developers and multiple companies in the Federation of Barbatum are working out plans for an industrial park"

"Here? Whatever the government forces in Nemoralis, when, and even though they don't know if they're going to be subjected to terrorist attacks?

"Now, at the stage of creating the platform for the plan, it will not actually be until the goal of peacemaking is in place"

The map was only half visible over the woman's shoulder.

Apparently, the red compartment is a bankrupt factory, the yellow is a buyer-determined compartment, and the white is a business in progress, a warehouse, a parking lot, etc.

Red and yellow dot the map in about a five-to-one ratio. Some of the areas where there was some clumping and red left white and yellow potpourri.

... an industrial park over there? Not at all yet, from within with no sign of the end of the war?

When a man raised the same question as Roark, the woman seemed to have been assumed and even answered.

"Like Decea, this is an upfront plan in anticipation of post-war economic recovery and lower labor costs than Barbatum. Whatever form it takes to settle it, it is an indispensable business to ensure it is needed and to prevent new conflicts."

"I see. They flavored their success in Decea."

The man nods with a subtle grin and sips substitute coffee.

Roark took a note in the paper notebook, surprised that the two would tell disturbing stories in such a large number of places.

A woman switches maps. Nenia Island.

"On the island of Nenia, at the time of the peaceful establishment of thirty years ago, a large number of powerless land people were displaced from the territory of the Kingdom of Lacrimalis."

"The followers of the saints who missed the Vietofi Bridge."

The man adds sadly.

The woman did not respond to it and went on pale.

"The Republic of Nemoralis is the laggiest behind in the reconstruction of the three countries divided from the former Republic of Lacus Lacrimalis"

"Why?

"From within the territory of the Republic of Nemoralis, the powerful land and lake people of the theocracy have moved to the territory of the Kingdom of Lacrimalis. Even though there were fewer people using evil, they didn't take measures such as incorporating the latest science and technology."

I know that, too, Roark.

Because of this, the Autonomous Region of Listver became miserable.

"Really? On top of such a policy failure. This time, after peace has been established, will there be a financial collapse without being able to raise the reconstruction budget and an outflow of economic refugees to the neighbouring countries?

A man voiced his concern in a low voice.

Even now, there is an influx of war refugees into Lacrimalis and Amitostigma. According to a study by the Farkills, nearly 200,000 people will go up in both countries in the past year.

Instead of returning to the country in peace, what is more, it will create new chaos in the neighbouring countries.

"It's an industrial park plan that includes measures to combat it."

... How many stores are these people?

We both dress properly in suits that seem to be worth a lot, but that alone doesn't tell the industry or anything. Even con artists can dress like suits.

The hall clerk spoke and lowered the empty cup from before the two of them.

"Let's move the place"

He stayed too long.

A man closes his laptop and takes a seat. The woman also followed him with a laptop in a boneless shoulder bag.
