"We look forward to hearing from you soon."

A belly-up middle-aged merchant leaves the room in a deep grace.

…………

"You may not even have to ask, how was the Gurgord Chamber of Commerce?

"Rejected, dismissed. I don't want to do business with that."

I drink up the tea I put on my desk and put the cup in a rampage.

Adolf took a deep sigh.

"Most of the time, however, if you become a merchant with status, you become a man of some age. Take that..."

Block Adolf's words.

"I'm not sick of it because it's nothing scrupulous. Did you see that face? I don't care what you think. He's a rotten lust."

"I don't think it's appropriate to be judged on the outside"

"So you bet? Is he the good guy or the bad guy? I'm the bad guy, you're the good guy."

"It's... well, merchants are all greedy people. As long as we stick to the terms of the contract, we'll have no problem."

"Then you should decide from the beginning. I don't believe him. That's all."

Nooo, and Adolph will shut up.

What he also wants to say is depressingly clear man.

I guess I'm not even confident enough to be able to argue that it's silent.

"But I can't help but hold things for a long time. We don't need jewelry, we need gold."

That's a headache there.

In the end, you have to make a deal with someone.

Wouldn't the beauty merchant tell you to let me trade in exchange for your body?

That would make it about 10% cheaper, but I don't have a problem.

"The Philich Chamber of Commerce is next, isn't it? It's a inferior middle ground in size and history compared to previous merchants, but I think I'll take care of my business with this one for that matter. He's in charge of the Eastern Zone."

"Eastern Zone? Do you put people in charge on small, rural land?"

Merchants are businesses made up of land full of people and things.

To the extent of doing business with the countryside, pedestrians are sufficient, and you don't have to bother putting in charge.

"Perhaps a newcomer with a new headline... or a left-handed fool because he can't use it any more"

"... he doesn't seem to be expecting it either."

But whatever you look like, you can't judge by your own imagination.

In the meantime, it won't start until I see you.

I hope he's not a breath stinking man......

The door to the room is knocked as soon as the servant is put out to use.

It's a good thing you're early, you've got a slightly better impression.

"I am from the Philich Chamber of Commerce. May I come in?

Oh, it's a woman's voice.

You've made a pretty good impression.

"Oh, come in."

"Excuse me. This time quote to our Chamber of Commerce..............................................................."

The merchant-like woman who came in was wonderful.

I didn't think so, but a really young woman, and I didn't expect a beauty to come either.

The outfit is flashy, but not uncomfortable, and the colour is elegant.

While the body is well hidden, the cuts in the skirt and the neck-to-chest exposure are exquisite, a stunning outfit that drifts the woman to an extent that does not make her nasty.

But the merchant opened the door and froze with a full smile of affection.

I check my own outfit, but there's nothing out there, and I've never had an erection and pushed my pants up.

Is there a frozen element?

"What's wrong? Please come in quickly."

Adolf also looks surprised and urges, but that's when Carla walks past the reception room.

He looked strangely at the woman, stiff with the door open, and immediately raised his voice.

"Ahhh!! Ass bitch then!

"Huh!!

Does Carla know?

Ass bitch......, oh! I remember that!

Isn't that the first woman to dig her ass outside of Lucy a long time ago?

"Syria!?

"It's Claire!!

Yes, it's Claire.

You said you were going to Stura when you let him get away.

Thought we'd never see each other again in this life, but the world is a narrow one.

"Do you know him?

"Oh, that's the woman I used to hold."

"……… I'm going to take my seat off for a moment"

Adolf takes a sigh and takes his seat off.

Carla pushed Claire's shoulder and pushed her indoors, letting her sit on the couch opposite me.

Claire initially tried to admire whether she wanted to defend Pre-Construction, but Carla was strong, and there was no reason to resist seeing her belly huge, and she would give up but sit still.

Claire and I didn't say no.

Rather, it is no exaggeration to say that we broke up with hatred, but still I am more excited to talk than a stranger old man.

"After that, we seem to have had a lot of things with each other... are our asses okay?

"Aren't you drooling?

"It's okay!!

Claire seemed to think about words for a moment, but when this happened, she never politely restated whether she had reopened her business dealings and nothing else to treat her.

"Ha... I heard you called me from the new noble promising stock in Goldonia, so I came to my senses, how could this happen..."

Claire drinks tea on her desk with the face she gives up.

I know the behavior was disrespectful, but the behavior was elegant and sophisticated.

"I'm surprised you're a merchant, too."

I also loosen my clothes and lose my posture.

They were making me look tough when it was rumored that responding with weird outfits would damage my prestige, but if I knew someone back in the day, I wouldn't need them.

"I've had a hard time throwing up blood reflexes since then... The money you gave me back at that time didn't really make it any less serious, that's thanks again"

Claire bows her head in a peck.

"So how did you become a merchant?"

Kara also seems interested in the birth story of an old acquaintance.

I said it was a left-hand move, but it's not a big deal to have the area in charge at a merchant.

Branches in the area, and her discretion and financial power to control everything from contracts with pedestrians to artisanal enclosures, are not even at her feet, such as those of individual shopkeepers there.

Two years after you broke up with me and climbing up there should be a little story.

"............... do I have to tell you?

"I want to hear it."

Claire started talking with a less upbeat face if she had no choice.

"Stura is a strong merchant, and he doesn't have much power in the government. The last Arkland war put pressure on the government because merchants wanted a base over the river."

I see, can a merchant move the country?

"So you think you're a merchant to be made here. Get into the current branch manager of the Chamber of Commerce...... oh I'll tell you already!! I became a mistress and they made me work at the store! That's all right!

I urged her to continue, and Claire drank her tea and continued the conversation.

"I was a clerk, but I dived a lot of training grounds, and I won a bet. Of course I tried. I didn't know anything about merchants. I've never slept properly here recently, and I don't know how many hundreds of books I've read."

Speaking of which, Claire wears slightly darker eye makeup.

Maybe he's deluding the bear under his eyes.

"I also used my weapon as a woman. Important customers and leading men were also put on top, and those who might like women in the Chamber of Commerce were held from one end to the other and given a lot of trouble."

"With your ass?

"Right in front of you! I can't believe you guys have been trying to dig your asses!!

Claire also seems to have struggled a lot to emerge.

"I shook my back over a fat man every night, studied until the morning sun rose even after the man slept, and I was finally in charge of the area."

"This is the neighborhood."

Kara, this stream is about to honor her efforts.

"Yes! But it was good. Being in charge of a region increases both authority and discretion. If you succeed here, you won't dream of becoming independent as a leading merchant."

I'm not so familiar with merchants, but Claire is going to start her own business eventually.

"I've come to think that I can connect with leading nobles because of the big mouth in this area where there are no big projects..."

"That's bad."

"Ha... then I'm going home. I don't even know you, so don't talk about using your body or being a bandit in the past."

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna pull Claire over to take a seat.

"Why are you leaving? We haven't talked about anything yet."

"Why... you can't talk about money with me when I was a bandit, can you?

"Is a merchant what determines the outcome before listening to a customer?

"Most of the time it is..."

Um, I'll leave it to Adolf to talk to the merchants in the future.

Refresh your mind and say it again.

"I didn't say I wouldn't do business with you."

Claire's eyes were opened.

"But..."

"If you say so yourself, it's more unnatural to call me noble."

Whether bandits or slaves have better standing may be an interesting topic.

This is a good opportunity, why don't we talk about it in my birth story against Claire?

"It seems to be old evidence to talk to you."

I'll tell you about three times as exaggerated about Carla's perverted case.

"I see... that's what happened behind that incident"

Claire was surprised to get an accurate picture of most everything from the coup d 'état in Goldonia to the Arkland War.

'Cause political current affairs are a must for merchants'

Exactly what I saw in my war as an exaggerated thing combined with morale.

"Because Ash was unilaterally hit... You must be strong."

A little shadow falls on Claire.

The fact that I broke off her beloved man cannot be erased on the month.

"I don't care that much anymore. I guess I was able to make it because of that too... and I don't deserve to say Ash's revenge to me with all the men in my life."

I approached Claire, who leaned down, held her shoulder and tried to kiss her, but was pushed on the shoulder with a ton.

"Come on, I'm done talking to you and let's talk business!

Unfortunately, they don't seem to let me taste it.

"I think I've already done the list of items for sale. Later, we'll talk about how much there is to gain from the first amount offered."

Adolph, who is back, begins negotiations with Claire, and Carla is nagging as she strokes her belly.

That was hilarious for Adolf to come in scared while making sure Claire and Cite weren't around.

"With all due respect, our Chamber of Commerce is so excited to put up a high fee... what a bad business we don't do. So all you can get on board is to say hi at best."

"Then we might be late for another chamber of commerce, right? It's quite a mouthful, so naturally, I have spoken out a few times."

"Well, that's troubling. But is the Chamber of Commerce really the right place to buy more than this price? I was wondering if it would be better if you checked to make sure you didn't see the scam."

Negotiations have been feverish for a long time.

I'd love to watch the game sipping alcohol instead of tea if I could.

"I can't make any more piles, but if you can buy something from our Chamber of Commerce, we can accommodate the discount by saying offset."

"I appreciate that, but there's no discount on cereals, is there?

"The cereals are soaring, and we don't have enough stock in the Chamber of Commerce, so we can't help it."

Speaking of which, I hear the grain is soaring for a long time.

We buy it at a flat rate, so it's less damage, but it's growing in population, so we might not be enough for the winter.

"As I'm saying, there are a lot of stubborn items, such as weapons and military supplies, that you want to buy. It also takes a lot of work to transport. I want you to think about that."

"We have stable security in our territory, and I don't think we need that much for security?

"We can't go through the kingdom of Triea, so we have to get away from Goldonia, right?

Me and Adolph stop moving.

Exactly familiar with the current situation, that seemed to hold onto the loot of the conflict.

There is a great danger that if we transport that load through Triea, it will be confiscated.

If you can't get on the boat at the shortest distance, you'll pay for the wastage squad, and the risk of meeting a bunch of bandits and demons swells.

"Then carry the armaments with this hand, so put them up..."

Adolf is excellent but sometimes too fine to bore his opponent.

We shouldn't be here any more.

"Adolph, you can go there. Let the beauty have some flowers."

I want to continue to do business with Claire as a trustworthy opponent.

I'm sorry to bargain so hard on a single deal every time.

And if you let them have some flowers, they might be delicious.

"This is fine for the price. But I'll put an escort from my territory to the river over here. Just give me a ride or whatever."

This is not just about cost savings.

I can be proud to say that my territory is almost safe, but not while I pass through the occupied territories from Eirich territory.

Claire will be done in case you lose your shipment by making this many purchases.

It could be a negative deduction as an expense, but it would also be marching practice and just fine.

"And keep this shipment as secret as you can. Especially with the Goldonian officials."

I don't want to be called confidential because I show it to many merchants.

"Yes, of course, we don't discuss customer information with anyone."

Unlike earlier, the discourse was also directed against the nobility.

Maybe she's a real jerk.

"This is a separate matter, Fi...... Fe...... do you do what you call the production of weapons at the Ferracci Chamber of Commerce?

It's the Philich Chamber of Commerce.

"We don't make it, but we know a lot of craftsmen. I'll be ready if you need me."

"I want a synthetic bow. The numbers are going to be pretty high, so let me know if you can make them."

The bow cavalry is currently given a scratched bow, but the range varies slightly due to its different size and construction.

I want to give you the same equipment I can to operate as a single army.

Nearly 5,000 bows are needed when you think about absorbed tribes, but this number isn't exactly the number that me or Adolph can handle scratching from personal shops and pedestrians.

"Is it a bow, I understand. Could you give us an approximate number because depending on the number, it will also be multiplied by the head office?

"About 5,000"

"... I'll have to turn it to the head office. But the new synthetic bow also stretches its value. It's going to be pretty expensive, no matter how cheap."

Hmm, is it the end of the line when you buy a lot to sell loot and say you want to get funds?

Besides, there's no way we're putting them on the battlefield right now with the bow cavalry ready to train.

"Right. Shall I buy it continuously at some point?"

Then we can have other items for sale, and we can expect revenue and head taxes next year.

"Yes, that's fine."

Claire's face shone.

I guess it would be more lucrative to be able to handle it within one's own business area, little by little, than to turn it to the head office even if it were her.

I nodded silently when I glanced at Adolf's face.

There seems to be no problem with this condition.

"At all, Master Hardlett is vulnerable to beauty"

Adolf is going to lend it to Claire by assuming that I've made a concession on sweet terms.

"Thank you, Viscount Hardlett, for your continued support."

Claire bows her head deeply.

It must also be our intention to see the valley round from here.

Even though I know, my stuff is starting to get harder.

"I would like to make a good deal in the future, so if you don't mind, could you please allow me to set up a store here in Rafen?

That's convenient.

I'm sure Claire from the community doesn't reside there, but I'm grateful to be able to contact you at any time.

"Then the monthly tax rate is." I don't mind. Whatever you want "..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Huh!? Thank you. Thank you very much."

Claire expresses her gratitude to Nico and is flattered by Adolph.

They've done something at the end.

Totally difficult to negotiate.

He took the contract that was signed by me and Claire in two contrasting glances.
