"Hello, my name is Faye Fei. Well, of course you know me, right?"

The man greeted him, despite Kuders entering the room, without trying to get up from his chair. It's a complete look at Kuders below.

"Hello, I'm starting. Unfortunately, I wasn't very active as a merchant, so I don't know about you." I pulled my chair and sat down.

Of course, it's a well-known behavior to be rude. It's a statement that you don't think you're above.

"Fuhahaha is a very pleasant Onito that he doesn't know me, the country's number one merchant." Although he smiles generously and shows, there is a slight blue line on his forehead Kudels did not miss.

At this point, he considers the merchant to be called Fei Fei as "small and vulgar." However, most people are judged to be small items when compared to the evil king who was once the boss of Kudels.

"Now, I don't have much time, so let's get started right away. You know the other day that pepper fell in the town of Patronne."

Kuders nodded obeying Fayefei's words. In any case, we have already researched the direction in which the Kudels came from.

"Well, I was in that city until the other day. It was quite lively, except for commercial guilds."

Yes, the mysterious fairy, the giant pepper tree, and the lord's speech and incitement have literally turned the city's economy upside down, and the city's inhabitants are in daily festivities. However, at the other end of the spectrum, commercial guilds were mostly overnight.

Because the pepper market crashed, the lord who was out of debt confiscated the monopoly of pepper from merchants. In addition, he took out attitudes that could be considered hostile to the upper levels of the commercial guild.

The lord said that the city had been cursed by the mercy of the merchants. It goes without saying that the people were furious at this declaration.

In addition, the angry people began to act as riots rather than boycotts of Australian merchants' stores, and they could no longer operate the stores. At the end of the day, fire and robbery took place half-openly in the name of the fairy Montesk, and the lord claimed to pay enormous reparations as a liability for cursing the city instead of preventing it.

As a result, the bottom of the guild and mid-market merchants began to gain strength quickly, and commercial defeat began to occur more frequently in the city of Patronne. In addition, mid-career and young merchants who have suffered the pressure of Australian merchants have begun to create new powers, especially in the city of Patronne.

"Yes, it was a great fuss. At the end of the day, the slander that the land was cursed just because we were there flew away to other towns. , And we're still being challenged. ''

More specifically, they give bribes to the nobles who govern each region, and their backing reduces the damage to rumors. At present, this attempt has been largely successful, but some nobles are quite visible and their financial damage is immense.

"But in such a difficult state, you are different. Despite being a member of a commercial guild called a gold member, it has not suffered any reputation. In the first place, there is no store in this country."

And it's a fuss as soon as Kudels appears. Is there anything related to that? There is no firm ground, but Fayefei looked suspiciously at Kudels. But Kudels shrugs with a strange face.

"That's right. I've just arrived in this country. And I still haven't decided whether or not to do business in this country. Because it seems difficult to do business in this country in various ways."

Kudels, who whispers in a whirlwind, saying, "Your presence is in the way," instantly kills Fayefei's eyes.

"Huh? You're not going to do business? Instead, you seem to be doing a lot of strange things." "Hell, aren't you going to do that strange thing?"

It's not that I'm not aware of what I'm doing prominently, but Kudels still lies easy.

"You ... you didn't make any fuss during the catastrophe since the commerce of the commercial guild, and you bought a lot of clothes, and you didn't own your own, women's outfits. No. A few days ago, you couldn't get the money to buy the outfit with cash, and you had some reserved? "

What and how did you get that money in the days of the turmoil? What Faye Fey really wants to know is that. And I cannot tolerate anyone else monopolizing the profits.

…… Stupid things. Kudels laughs secretly behind the hidden face of his bangs.

"Well, isn't it a violation of manners to ask people for money?"

――I know that you can't help yourself. But the greedy Faye will never give up. At least until you get some sweet honey from Kudels.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask you a question, but you've just done some research in the reference room. What's going on?" "No, just like killing time I don't plan on doing business in earnest, but I don't want to do anything, so I'm going to put it on a stall. "" Huh? If you like, what kind of business do you do? Maybe we can help you. ''

In other words, if you have a good story, you should give yourself a copy. But he doesn't realize that the word irritated Kuders.

――I was thinking about trying to enjoy the atmosphere of a stall, usually, humblely, and modestly. Why are you trying to get involved? I wanted to play alone. If you want them to play together, be prepared to do so.

The Demon King switch in Kudels' heart slammed.

"No, I don't think much about making money. It's really a hobby, so it's not like bothering you as the best merchant in the country. How do you make a lot of money when you make one? "

Fayefai still thinks he has something to do, but after thinking for a while, he decides that it is impossible.

"Hmm ... sure, that's right. Then, if you have any big profits, you should consult me. What will you lose?" "Yes, if you have such a thing, please ask me I will do it. "

The conversation was over with such a greedy, boring line without any twists.

But the country's best merchant is unaware. He misunderstood Kuders as a merchant and made a grudge. Yes, the merchant Faye Fei and the politician Kudels have completely different standards of profit.

Eventually, when the sun sets. Kudels reported the location of the store as a large riverbed running through the center of the city.
