† † (Journal of Eltoria Octave)

The other day, Ike, the young man who helped my daughter out of a line of bandits.

At first I was on guard with a man of uncharacteristic nature, but when I met him, unexpectedly, he was a good young man.

From those black eyes, I can't feel any malice.

From the moment I saw it, I realized I was a trustworthy person, but at the same time I thought I was a dangerous person.

Not because he is a messenger of the Demon King's Army.

I thought the talent was horrible.

In fact, he made me solve my impending difficulties lightly.

Crusade the pirate Carosa, who has tormented us Zenobian merchants for years.

At first, half the joke, or impossible, was used as a bargaining material, but he, Ike, accomplished it lightly.

And without killing Carosa, captive, in the form of.

Plus, he can spot what we want and offer it.

The 'cannon' he said he would provide, which for the Octave Chamber of Commerce was something I wanted so much that I could get my hands out of my throat.

Loading it onto a merchant ship would give it an overwhelming advantage over the pirates, and could resell the excess cannon to other member cities.

It was a thankful weapon for the merchant and a commodity.

- Anyway, the cannon seems generous enough to provide it, but it didn't teach me how to make the secret medicine that is the key 'gunpowder'.

I guess that's where a young man named Ike hangs out.

Cannon shells can be simulated, but gunpowder can't help it. There is a place that goes through the art of negotiating good merchants, who don't show their trump cards to the end.

If he had been born into a merchant's house, he could have been a rival to us, the Octave Chamber of Commerce.

I even remember the cold when I thought so, but fortunately, he was born on the Devil's side. (Though the contents seem human)

You have to thank God for that.

And I should also thank you for letting me and Ike make the rounds.

At first I offered to get engaged to my daughter Julia with half the joke, but now I really want him for my daughter's son-in-law, I thought.

Because I thought he was so rare.

It is easy to collect gold, but it is difficult to collect talent, that was the Octave family home training.

In this sense, I would like you to take my daughter. Will my daughter, Julia, please take care of that young man?

I am worried about that.

My daughter is beautiful, but she has difficulties with her personality.

Maybe I spoiled it a little too much.

Maybe next time, by the time Ike comes to this Zenobia, we should educate him more feminine.

If it doesn't work, it sucks, even though this me, Eltoria Octave, will marry him.

I don't know what to say myself, but I haven't thrown it away yet either.

Seika, I am far more confident than my daughter when it comes to that.

I wish I liked a young man named Ike older......

- Whoa, this could have been an inappropriate statement.

It was careless to leave such a sentence while having a husband.

If my husband sees this sentence at a later date, he'll be offended.

Let's fix it later.

Even if I look like this, I love my husband.

I'm not willing to offend him.

However, a young man named Ike had something that would captivate even me after years of dealing with various people and gaining life experience.

Regardless of whether you will be my daughter's son-in-law, I would definitely like to wish her a reunion.

We must win the battle against the Alliance of Kings, which will already take place.

I just want you to win.

That's also in an overwhelming way.

It would prove that there was no madness in my eyes as a merchant if I did.

Plus my daughter, Julia, will be happy.

Because the more he wins, the closer the day he marries him...
