My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

According to Ms. Listella's calculations, the salary at the newly operated chamber of commerce is 250,000 astr a month reasonable (or so).

It's too cheap from me, but I don't understand why you've offered me that amount.

So I'm worried about what we're going to do here, but Listella says it's worth 250,000 Astras a month, which means it's an extra workload, right?

... Then here's one, let's ask for more.

"Then let's go with the immediate work and rewards. By the way, Mr. Listella. As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Listella does not stay in the business of the Chamber of Commerce, but liberates and improves the status of the elves. I wish I could ask you to cooperate more extensively in the construction of the Elf country. How about that?

"That's... of course, if we can, we can help."

"Oh, I appreciate that. Then, in addition to keeping all the income from that book with Listella, we will give you an additional 10 billion AST as initial funds, so use it to do what you think is best to realize the plan, at Listella's discretion and beyond the boundaries of the Chamber of Commerce. I want you to talk to me before you do anything big, but basically, I'll take care of it all. You can also take as much pay as you like with your self-assessment"

This is a jargon called 'round throwing', but it is also something you can do because you trust your personality and trust your abilities.

Blah, if you can do me a favor, it would be absolutely more efficient for Mr. Listella to do it than I can.

For those with abilities, it is often better to leave enough authority and funds to do whatever you want than to tie them down poorly.

I'll take responsibility for anything. But if it's a responsibility I can take...

In my words, Mr. Listella saw this one with the look of not knowing what he had been told for a moment, but he immediately returned to me and returned a reaction.

"Yoichi. I tried to betray you that I was first... No, I'm actually the one who betrayed you. I don't think I'm very sane (did), such as giving such a lot of money and authority to such an opponent!

It's kind of an amazing sword screen. But...

"Mr. Listella. Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I don't think I've been betrayed. Indeed, Listella chose Eina when she came to terms with the information that Eina and I were in conflict. But that's just to say that if you put me and Eina on the scale, Mr. Listella, personally, Eina would have been heavier, right?

"... without calling that a betrayal. What do you say?

"If this was about getting caught up in profits and going to the kingdom of Daphra, or if you used your chairmanship of the Chamber of Commerce against me for every chamber of commerce, I think it's betrayal, too. But Mr. Listella threw in the chairman's position. I'm prepared to martyr my friendship with Eina as one individual, and you've been rushing here, haven't you? Isn't that Mr. Listella's free will anymore?"

"I don't think it's a good reason to betray your benefactor because it's free will? Besides, I threw out an important chamber of commerce that Yoichi kept from me. If you take this point alone, it would be a tremendous betrayal of your credibility."

"Yes, but if you really wanted to betray me, you could have screwed up the Chamber of Commerce, right? You should have rather done that if you were going to hit me, but on the contrary, you put your hands on me to minimize confusion until you took precious time. Isn't that because you tried to fulfill your step-in-law for me?

"That's because... as president of the Chamber of Commerce, I couldn't involve the employees in my selfishness. It wasn't for Yoichi."

... Uh-huh, why is this guy trying to be a bad guy?

Are you so sorry for this action? Or maybe you think that if you don't acknowledge your responsibility here, the messenger will go to Mr. Eina?

Well, if they tell me who's wrong with this one, it would be Mr. Eina, but I'm also responsible for burning it, and I rather think Mr. Listella is the biggest victim.

And then there's Mr. Faros, who ate just fine.

... Asking about Eina's condition on the sidelines with Chillari, do you think I have no right to speak out on this matter, or I tend to keep my mouth shut?

This one looks spicy over here, so I need to do something about it...

"... Mr. Listella. I rather think that if Listella abandoned her best friend, Eina, and something happened to me when I heard that Eina and I were in conflict, on the contrary, that person would have lost more credibility with Listella."

"That's... what does that mean?

"Because you will. Abandoning your loved ones and prioritizing profitable relationships means that one day when profits appear that go beyond your relationship with me, you will abandon me and run that way. Isn't that what Mr. Listella used to say about the credibility that merchants should cherish next in their lives?

"It's..."

Oh, I'm stuck with the objection. Sounds good.

"Mr. Listella. Basically, if I don't do any harm to me and my precious things, I think the rest is fine with that person's freedom. Of course, I'd appreciate it if you could help me, but I don't think you were betrayed because that made it impossible. More importantly, some of my important things include Listella and Eina, who have helped me so far. Don't you think it's a betrayal of what your loved ones have done to help your loved ones?"

"It's... but..."

"Mr. Listella came here and what would you have done if it was really me and Eina at odds? You weren't thinking of joining hands with Eina to fight me any more than you came alone, were you? If Eina is still free, shall we protect her and hide her somewhere? If you were captured, you'd risk your life, but you'd ask me for help. And in case Eina's letter and circumstances were reversed and I was in a position of escape or capture, didn't you help me then? If that's undeniable, Mr. Listella's actions are still not treachery."

…………

I also thought the last word was a little too good, but Mr. Listella is staring at me with no words.

Is this... can I just keep pushing it off?

"So I don't even think of the shards (pieces) betrayed by Mr. Listella. I still think of Mr. Listella as a brilliant merchant I can trust. So I'll keep a lot of money, and I want to trust you and entrust you with a big job. So please, could you take this job?

When I say that and bow my head, Mr. Listella rushes over to me in a panic.

"Yoichi. Please, keep your head up. That you have bought me so much so far. As a single merchant, I just can't stand gratitude. Always work to meet your expectations. So please don't bow your head any further to me like this..."

When I raised my face to a petitioning (groaning) voice, there was Mr. Listella's face right around the corner.

I've got tears full of both eyes, a neat eyebrow (mayu) with a clean face, and I'm still going to cry...

In the end, Mr. Listella's tear glands (Ruishen) were decimated shortly afterwards, and I was able to see a crying face up close that I think was pretty rare.

That's how I was able to get more powerful allies to advance the Elves' emancipation plan...
