Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

The business talks with Emilia and Kiritaka Muse proceeded unexpectedly calmly.

As a merchant at one end with Kiritaka, I don't want to do anything I don't remember doing to the banner of a major force: a candidate for king. Emilia herself went out, which just means a lot to a merchant like Kiritaka.

Of course, I'm not willing to do that to Emilia, who was sipping the tea served with a slight attitude. The same goes for Garfiel, who was wondering if he would get his hands on the confectionery next to it.

Between the Muse Chamber of Commerce correspondence, it could be said that only Otto across the street understood the inside of that Kiritaka.

"I apologize for taking the time to step up. I knew it was disrespectful, but I'm also busy with this... and I know I shouldn't move around too much because of it, but it's a habit to look around the scene."

"I think it's a splendid idea. This is my pleasure, and I am sorry that you have made the time while you are busy. We didn't expect to see you early."

"Everything is about awkwardness. This is especially true when it comes to negotiating."

Otto sees Kiritaka become a person as he exchanges greetings decorated with the upper edge.

A merchant named Kiritaka Muse sitting face-to-face, I see, is only one of the leading merchants in the city of Pristela, behaving with piercing and style.

Age is still young. Probably around mid to late twenties.

He wraps his slender length in tailored clothes and carefully strokes his thin pigmented blonde hair back. A degree of decoration that did not dislike was giving him room and goods, and there was a glimpse of the sophistication of what was highly educated, both in the language spoken and in the manipulation.

Otto, who accompanied Roswar and others as the home affairs officer of the Emilia faction and with less unintentional experience of compromising with the powerful and powerful, decides that Kiritaka's attitude is inexorably comparable to that.

In short, I'm just heartfelt that I'm glad I followed you.

If Emilia had been facing each other alone, she must have been wrapped up in some good way and bought an expensive pot or something to come back to.

In the past year, Otto also appreciated Emilia about that.

"So can I ask you something? Anything from Miss Anastasia's messenger tells me you have what you want with the products handled by our Chamber of Commerce."

"Then we talk fast. Actually..."

To Kiritaka trying to get to the point, Otto, for once, cuts the word and sees Emilia.

Basically, it's Emilia's stance to leave the negotiations to Otto. Garfiel is Garfiel, by the way, and he stares sharply at a man dressed in white from top to bottom, standing loosely in the corner of the room as he wraps his confectionery around - there.

The person who is highly self-assertive to the employee is, in Kiritaka's story, an escort. In recent times, some sort of noise was what he said when he asked permission to be present.

Otto understands the white figure.

He would be a member of the mercenary unit White Dragon Scale, which I hear is heavily used by the Muse Chamber of Commerce in Pristella. It is a historical mercenary regiment that is also famous for its part in Lugnica.

I hear it's a group close to the store for anything, but it was a famous story that it has been cordial with the Muse Chamber of Commerce for several years. Seeing what you're doing, I guess it was Kiritaka's decision that drew them in.

"There is one demand for this one. Outstanding and pure colorless demon ore among the demon ores handled by the Muse Chamber of Commerce. I want you to give this away."

Reputing himself as an unafraid person, Otto cuts straight out to Kiritaka.

More far-fetched demands do not make sense. At the time this negotiating forum was prepared, the reason for Kiritaka's visit was overwhelming.

And Kiritaka also knows she can't turn down Emilia's demands.

"I see. Indeed, we pride ourselves on handling very good quality things even when we compare demon ore to… our peers. Even Emilia's desirable colorless demon ore will have as much to offer…"

"Mr. Kiritaka. Let's not make far-fetched rhetoric. As I told you, this request is for colorless demon ore of the highest purity. That's all."

"... this is rude"

Bad forelife, not so much. It's just an exchange of words.

Kiritaka, who has made him step on his dull feet while understanding, hits one hand after another to explore this one's pocket. For him, this negotiation has already decided to hand over the goods. Because that's the only question of how much price tag to put on it.

"Even here, I'm prepared to make accommodations more accommodating than the market because I'm saying I can't. However, Emilia's patron, Uncle Mazers Border, has demonic ore mining rights in the Great Forest of Elior."

"It is not right for us to deal with demon ore alone, such as a fraud that deludes the market. Our job is all about credibility. You see. Lord Otto."

Otto exhales from the inside.

As a merchant, the Suwen family does not extend far enough to the Muse family, but they are still not small enough to trace their identity. In the camp of king candidates who determine the country's trends, it is natural to examine the characteristics of the key figures if they are to communicate.

Most of all, it is the horror of the Emilia faction that still has so much to lose.

Emilia spent more than a hundred years in the Great Forest of Elior in Garfiel, which she had been pulling all along in "The Sanctuary". Furthermore, "Toddler Girl" is unclear as to whether to use it or to use it.

You can clearly crack your identity, Otto's identity, whatever you want.

"Lord Otto? You don't have a good complexion."

"Oh, no, never mind. I just felt weird because I felt a little irrational."

Shook his head at Kiritaka's words, Otto temporarily renounced his beneficial thoughts. Then again, I urge Kiritaka to answer the real question. Kiritaka then shows her the tricks to think about,

"It's a strange story that neither of us are asked to give you the product we have at hand. Regardless, we will comply with Emilia's request."

"Then..."

"But the demon ore you want is something special. Because when I was entrusted with the branch of the Muse Chamber of Commerce to Pristella, I was the owner of the Chamber of Commerce - my father, but I gave it to him. The value as a gift is greater than the value as a product."

――――

Otto bit his lips saying it was a good cut, whether it was a fact or a disguise.

As Kiritaka herself said, the deal, albeit a rare demon ore, is a stand-alone one. If you think of it as a deal of the size of a chamber of commerce, it is not as profitable as you would like.

Then where do you add more value than the amount? Put it on the humane side, not on the value of the product. You give away something that's important to you, so you just have to admit it as an added value.

"It is.... such an important thing."

In fact, Emilia is hanging around pretty hard with Kiritaka's description right now.

When I see the look of guilt beating me down, I'm really the one who can't belly show. Otto coughs if he doesn't hold on.

"Feel good. But I'd like you to bend over there."

"I know. I am also a merchant dealing with demon ore. These things are more decorated on shelves than it makes sense to shine at the hands of those who need them. I'll give it to you. - Just a few conditions."

"- Conditions. Let me ask you something."

Prepare to raise the price tag sufficiently before Kiritaka steps into this negotiation. When Otto took it and stood, Kiritaka stood three fingers.

Otto, who hurts his stomach about what impossible challenges pop up.

"One first. The colorless demon ore that the Muse Chamber of Commerce was looking for more than ever before, Emilia. Please understand that I didn't hide this in bad faith."

"... of course that is. Now that you've revealed your convenience, you can't even doubt it."

The first one, Kiritaka, takes to undo the previous unknown to the Emilian faction. To sum it up in circles, this is nothing more than a snort.

"And the second. As a later exchange, you will pinch the Horshin Chamber of Commerce in your presence and leave it in a way that you know it was a legitimate deal."

"Let's accept that, too. … no problem"

Apparently Kiritaka also has a deal with the Horsin Chamber of Commerce as the Muse Chamber of Commerce. I'm going to let you know inside and out that Emilia owed Anastasia.

It invites some anxiety, but I can't say no to this just a legitimate demand either.

But I can't take back any of the stuff I've had so far. The third demand - I can bring it to you at the end. So let's get a clear idea of Kiritaka's position.

In front of the breathtaking otto, Kiritaka gently waved her third finger,

"Third. - I want you to stay out of contact with 'Princess Sing' Liliana who stays in the city"

"- What?"

Otto is taken aback by the name of an irrelevant person who popped up abruptly.

Regardless, that's the same with Emilia and Garfield present - no, the two of them haven't changed their attitudes since earlier. Emilia sips tea and Garfiel stares at her white clothes. Even though the negotiations are throwing at Otto, the attitude of not getting bumpy is as clean as it sounds.

"Excuse me. If I'm not mistaken in hearing this one, I heard you ask me not to make contact with the 'Princess Singing'..."

"Yeah, that's not wrong. That's all our demands are. If anything goes wrong, I want you to think about this deal…"

"I don't mind if I ask you why? So far, I don't think our deal has anything to do with" The Singing Princess. "

"... I was wondering if we needed to talk about that separately. Can you accept or not?"

Dropping the tone of his voice, Kiritaka peeks at the emotional side he never showed until then. Otto was a little confused about what to do with the demands that didn't fall on him.

To be clear, the third demand was unexpected, and it's not exactly what Emilia would have in the future if she accepted it.

Emilia may regret not being able to meet with the 'singing princess' who has risen to the topic of Anastasia, but you just have to have her cut off there from achieving this purpose.

With that in mind, I got an amazingly astonishing answer.

If that brings the negotiations together, you can't even hope. Let's wrap up the story before Subaru, who has left us on the way, rendezvous and gets confused.

"Dear Emilia, do you mind?

"Yeah. I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't help it"

Emilia pulls her jaw on the confirmation word and Otto tries to respond to her consent. Kiritaka accepts it satisfactorily and here the outpost of the deal of demon ore is over. All you have to do is talk to the actual price and pick up the product.

"The real thing will be here. We have some other good quality things for you...... would you like to see them?

A rising Kiritaka takes the crate out of the back shelf.

Offered on the table, it sparkled like a jewellery box as soon as it was opened, blinking Emilia and Otto's eyes in sight.

Colorful demonic ore is carefully arranged on top of the cushion. Among them, a clear demonic ore that does not stain the color of the attribute emits an international discoloration.

That would be Emilia's colorless demon ore itself.

"Will it be confirmed to your hands?

To Kiritaka's words, Emilia looks up.

As Kiritaka let him snort, Emilia took a small breath and then gently extended that finger to the demon ore. However,

"Dear Emilia"

"Young Master"

At the same time, it was the two militants who were indoors who called each Lord.

When they gaze at each other, they then turn to the Lord, who looks suspicious,

"I've got some cancer."

"Someone hurried from downstairs. I'll check."

A man in white goes to the entrance of the room without making any noise, and Garfiel gently hips. Intervals where tension strains quietly. And the noise they noticed apparently came right near the door -,

"You peach peach perch, shut up! Come on, man! Emilia and the others are negotiating now..."

As soon as I thought I had a voice I was used to hearing, a man in white opened the door to the reception room.

A pompous face over there is a man I knew from wherever I looked. Follow the little girl to the right and to the left, Natsuki Subaru deserves the name 'Toddler Girl'.

- Subaru?

Emilia called me, Subaru finally noticed this formation and blue-faced.

Otto almost wanted to sigh inside, with all his might, but for one thing, don't raise your voice about the reaction around him.

Subaru then raised his hand lightly with his notional face,

"Ya, hey, Emilia Tan. It's an odd encounter."

"Curiosity and nothing, make it so loud...... is that, Mr. Kiritaka?

Otto was also delayed in responding to Emilia's strange voice.

Seeing, Kiritaka, who had gotten her hands inside an earlier crate, stood up and stared at Subaru with a frenzied glow in his eyes.

In its hands, a pure blue demon ore is gripped -,

"I, Bo Bo Bo, touch my Liliana!!

Turned voices and a blow of demon ore that can be thrown.

No one had to stop it, and that one shot was jumping into Subaru to be sucked in - blew its body off with a blue glow.

"Sorry about that. My young husband is usually pretty, but when Miss Liliana is in custody, she's even more beautiful again... I'll do something about it by tomorrow, so just go home for today."

After one disturbance, he took on both factions that managed to calm down the field and bowed his head as the middle age in white clothes seemed sorry.

Inside the closed room behind it, Kiritaka's golden cuts are still rising. He can't seem to show it to anyone else, so now he's totally off limits.

"I really have a problem with Mr. Kiritaka. I can't believe you're taking away the opportunity to talk to me and Emilia and Natsuki Subaru. Pussy, pussy!

Meanwhile, Liliana's indignation at being plotted without herself will not stop.

Blowing her cheeks and mouthing the pseudonyms of anger, she tried to produce a new song called "Out Othi Heroes Herald" to the look of Subaru, swallowed by shock, shortly after she bought Beatrice's unhappiness.

"Miss Liliana, take your time with your young husband today."

"………………………………………………………………………………………… OK"

It took a long time to figure it out, but Liliana just broke it there, too.

As a result, the Emilia faction was set to triumph with a brilliantly unproductive outcome in this negotiation, thanks to the great work of Subaru.

"That is. That Liliana kid is a so-called celebrity maniac, and Kiritaka wanted to keep us away because she has a great taste in meeha. That's the third condition for giving away demon ore."

"So Mr. Natsuki smashed up where it seemed like it would come together. I see. I wouldn't really do anything busy. Hey!?

"I think it's bad this time too, but I can't imagine you picking up that flag ahead of me when I'm seasick... you're too force majeure..."

With the negotiations over underdeveloped, Otto can't hide his dissatisfaction.

Subaru's statement is also unclean because some of the damage remains, but I could see that tomorrow's negotiations were going to be difficult to navigate because of Kiritaka's frenzy.

"Look, Otto can't even stand so blind. It's not like Subaru was mean to me. Sometimes that happens."

"Right. Emilia, tell him more."

"Subaru reflects properly. Aside from Mr. Liliana, it's not annoying if you make so much noise in people's workplaces. The receptionist's gonna be in trouble."

"Yes, I'm sorry"

When Subaru honestly bows his head, Emilia nods "OK".

Otto, who was watching such a poisonous exchange of subordinates, sighed,

"Whatever it is, this is stopping today's negotiations. I'd like to go back to the Water Feather Pavilion and retool my policy for a moment... but I have some business to attend to and I'll be out for a while."

"An errand?"

When everyone twists their necks to an unexpected word, Otto shows the other side of the Muse Chamber of Commerce with his hands,

"We've come all the way to Pristella because of this, so we have to make the part where we can make the connection. For today, I'm just going to talk to you, but later Emilia may come out with a lift. then."

"Yeah, okay. But don't you have to go with me today?

"Don't contact me in advance. If Emilia comes, you won't be able to get a satisfactory welcome anywhere and it will be difficult. It also takes into account that it does not move in a detour."

"Yes. I get it. I'll remember that."

When Emilia gives a good reply, Otto leaves to tell the child to "go straight home" with it to the back of Second Street.

Garfiel showed Otto signs of accompanying him, but was refused, "It is a priority to deliver Master Emilia safely".

"So what was Subaru talking about with that Liliana?

"Oh? Emilia, do you feel concerned about what I was talking about with the other girls? I wonder what it is. I'm so glad to hear that little change."

"Yeah. Don't get me wrong, because the princess is just curious about who she is"

"It would have been better if you had misled me!?

As always, Emilia's natural bassari relentlessly cleaves Subaru's heart.

Either way, there's no reason to keep quiet and it's the usual thing, and Subaru will be back soon to tell Emilia what's on the road and make her listen.

"When I first found him singing in the park, I thought I saw him. It was also convincing to hear what they said about 'The Princess of Singing'. Hey, Bear."

"I don't deny that. Wouldn't you deny that? Only, it's"

"Beatrice's pushing awesome precautions like this, but what's going on?

"I think Liliana has shown us the hard proposition that one talent stands out is to sharpen other important elements."

Subaru also knows what makes Beatrice want to push again and again.

Liliana must have turned out to be such a sorry girl as a result of swinging all over the singing voice.

"People don't always get the talent they want, but it doesn't matter if they get the talent they want, they can be great."

"Oh, you're a philosopher, Admiral. Was that the kind of song that made you think that?"

"I won't deny that. That's right. This answer, Liliana, is universal."

Everyone is on their way home on foot, unlike going, surprised by versatility. The problem of leaving Subaru behind in the waterway goes hand in hand.

"It's a beautiful city because of it, and I want to walk around properly. Otto, I don't think I have anything left to do today."

Emilia seemed guilty of speaking of selfishness, but calling something like this selfish is just such a cute request.

Subaru originally disagreed with neither Garfield nor Beatrice.

"I'm worried you'll be able to get back to the inn while I walk you through Emilia Tan."

"Don't worry about it. If I had to, Betty would be touching the wall with her left hand."

"We've talked about the flaws in that method."

"You don't have to worry about us both. My nose. I'm sure he remembers the place of the inn and the smell of the chicks."

"-Hey."

The smell candidate Garfiel mentioned has Mimi's presence and I can do it by accident.

That little cat daughter's reaction to Garfield is a little too energetic to tell, but nothing more than a statement of favor. I'm just in tune for it at my age, and I was looking forward to it first.

By the way, Garfiel is as usual, and is extensively sleeved in the ram of his destiny. Neither does Ram seem to have more feelings for Garfield than he does for his brother.

"Whatever, Garfield. I sincerely wish you the happiness of my disciple."

"Ah? Don't suddenly say something disgusting, Admiral. Well, I don't feel bad..."

To Subaru slapping her shoulder with a face like she understood, Garfiel laughs at her teeth as she tilts her neck. Blessed is your honest and unhatable disciple. Subaru sincerely hopes so.

"Nevertheless, a nice town. It's all fresh where I see it and makes me restless."

Emilia is in a good mood for a dizzying and changing view on her way home. Subaru feels bouncy just watching fun Emilia change her expression, but she does have a city to snort at what she says.

Calculated and exhausted, the town's architectural style is as exquisite as a work of art or craft. The waterways that flow through the centre of the city also have a beauty there that goes beyond convenience.

"The city itself was full of frigid rumors."

"You know, the limitations of technical skill at the time, the attempt to lock up a bad warcraft. But it doesn't change that whatever the hang-up is here is beautiful. Right?"

Emilia's smile, stopping on the bridge and overlooking the Great Waterway.

In love with it, Subaru nods in a sunny mood, "Right."

Whatever the hang-up is, everything that's here now.

How you feel about the results and the results you get - if you get there, it's a good start.

Because it's not the first, it's the last.

"Right, Mother"

"Did you just say something?

"I remember the magical words of the most respected woman in the world."

Even after time has passed from memories, there is still much to be braved about.

I never forgot, and I kept getting things I just couldn't forget. Natsuki Subaru still lives today, dragging the thoughts he receives.

Garfield and Beatrice read the air and wait a bit apart for Subaru and Emilia to swap their grins that way.

It is a common consideration of those around them to prepare these small hours for the two of us who are too busy to take time. Even Beatrice honestly admits to that.

"You have a wretched face under your nose."

"If it's a good vibe with a woman I fell in love with, that's what it is. I'm rather relieved. I know the Admiral is a man, too."

"I wonder what that means."

"No, there are many younger women around the Admiral, and many other men... if Emilia hadn't rubbed me off, I wouldn't have suspected you."

"Subaru is sketchy, manly and perverted without any problems! It doesn't make any sense. Betty and Petra are touching each other!

"Are you happy with that guarantee, too?

Two people interact with Subaru sexuality rigging on a regular basis. By the way, I'll touch it in Subaru's honor, but Subaru's contact with younger people has no intention other than to express affection.

Without even realizing the disturbing story behind it, Subaru indulges Emilia and the Water Capital.

"So it's time to go back. I want to take a good look at today's inn. It was a very strangely shaped building."

"Wahoo architecture. Honestly, I'm interested, too. Emilia, in a different way."

"Really? Hehe, well, we have to hurry."

Take your hands off the columns, Emilia gently lowers back as she plays a grin. and Emilia, who was down without checking her back, either because she was feeling a little rushed,

"Ah."

"Oops."

Just hit my back on the person in the hood who wanted to go through there. The person stood behind Emilia, who raised her voice slightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't look right behind me..."

"Excuse me from me, too. This kid looks just like me. I'll tell you what."

Looking back in haste, Emilia apologizes to the person in that hood. Subaru also hurried and bowed his head to that opponent in line next to Emilia.

Doesn't give Emilia's name for once is a bit of an alert to not knowing who she is. When you find out Emilia's identity on the move, it doesn't necessarily attract any noise. Naturally, Emilia even wears a coat of cognitive inhibition.

Therefore, the slight contact of others cannot develop into a major problem.

This time, it's just like that.

"I was careless this time, too. For a moment, I was falling in love."

"Eh?

"On the beautiful silver hair of the lady I bumped into, you know. I used to be a woman with equally beautiful hair who tried to be my wife. I remembered it and I avoided it."

It's a spoken word, depending on what you hear, but the intoxicated color is a dark voice.

The person in the hood is a skinny man, but still probably young because of the tone of his voice. Subaru wonders how long ago the story was about trying to welcome his wife.

It's just a deal that purely masculinity doesn't want to keep too close to Emilia and judging.

"So this time it means we're not paying attention to each other. In the meantime, I think I passed on my apology.

"Hey, Subaru. Such a sincere apology..."

"Fine, huh?

――――

When Subaru pulls his arm and lowers Emilia back, he also shuts up about whether Emilia felt something. Seeing those two interactions, the hood figure shook his neck sideways loosely.

"I don't mind. So far, I have no anger or business with you. [M] You should go if you want to. If you need anything, fate will be ready for you again."

"Oh, right. Hope your destiny leads you back to tomorrow."

Subaru quits the spot in response to the opponent using poetic expressions.

As she pulls Emilia's arm, Subaru looks at her and this one. Then, for some reason, Emilia is showing a bare gesture that cares more about the person she is today,

"Sure, I may have had a bit of a bad attitude, but it's to protect Emilia from weird bugs, so don't want me to break it off."

"Huh? Oh, no. Sure, I didn't think Subaru's attitude was good, but my carelessness was bad in the first place. But it isn't. Not..."

So cut the words, Emilia lodges her strays in her eyes.

But I trembled my lips with a face I couldn't shut up,

"People today, I think I've seen them somewhere... I felt that way. I didn't know because I couldn't see my face properly."

"Emilia, who did you know? And I'm pretty sure I know that too."

"Yeah.... but I don't know. Who was it?"

How concerned, Emilia looks back and forth again. but there isn't an earlier figure there already, and it doesn't seem apparent that the answer will be revealed.

"Wow, Admiral. He pulled it in a hurry, but the colored man was about to take it."

Garfiel teasing the tone of the wait ahead on Subaru, who took Emilia across the bridge. Subaru pounded his tongue on that garfield,

"Fool, not if you're playing. What's wrong with you not coming when you're tangled up in some weird guy? If I can't protect you, Emilia, you're in danger."

"It's the Admiral's man's place to tell you that you can keep your body up and protect it."

"You can stop with one of my meat shields, but what if you pierce it? I'm not sure about the thickness. As a shield, in the sense of humanity."

Garfiel laughs bitterly at Subaru's near inferior self-esteem.

There is a verse that Garfiel considers Subaru's attitude to be humble, but from Subaru's point of view it is a reasonable assessment. Rather, they see Subaru too high.

"Don't worry. Even I fly when I think they're bastards. You don't have to worry about that bastard. From the way you walk to the way you fly your gaze, from what to what amateur itself. Instead of diving in a training ground, you have a taste for martial arts."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm talking about seeing it. The Admiral used to wave a sword, 'cause I knew it when I saw it. I don't know how to carry a leg and shake an arm."

"Seriously. That's a perverted stunt."

I haven't spoken to Garfield about being a kendo experienced.

This is a middle school Kendo, and it has proven to be a technology that doesn't work in this world. Still, a testament to the workout I found myself in would be that if I saw what I saw, I would know.

If Garfield says so, this vigilance may be worrying.

"That's why let's do it, Emilia Tan. Or do you still care?

For one thing, shelving his own thoughts, Subaru asks Emilia.

Emilia still looked around, but eventually shook her head in the way she gave up.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry to bother you so weirdly, huh? Let's go back."

"Let's do that. You should go back, Mimi, but you should hold him and heal him. Whoa, I'm happy holding Bear, so you don't have to persevere."

"I don't know if Betty said anything!

Beatrice reacts stuck to Subaru's story and Emilia laughs.

Then she kept her hand on her mouth,

"Right. If I hold Mimi, she looks amazingly satisfied. We will."

That said, he walked out again with a face that forgot his anxiety.

"- I see. Give me here and I'll finally know what you mean."

He rocked the hem of his loose coat and the person muttered in a small voice.

A man in a hood. He paints the girl he just came in contact with behind his lid and smiles at his mouth. It was somewhere, a dark smile that made me feel something gloomy.

"You took the trouble to get me to my feet. I wouldn't have condoned it if it was a boring thing, but with that stuff, it's not the story."

A pale narrative, but its voice is filled with sticky heat.

What you can peek at there is the end of the obsession that kept boiling to the point of scorching in the pan and drooling over the months - part of a nasty bias.

"I never miss mine. I must be completed by myself. [M] I'm only here because I can't miss some of it from completion. Being filled must continue to be filled. So it's only natural that the missing numbers should be filled."

A man turns up by arranging him like that in a quick talk.

As soon as that happened, the hood came off. And the hidden white hair becomes dewy.

the wind that conceived the grey hair water swayed, and the man tiny and unpleasantly tongued,

"I have to let my seventy-ninth wife, who remains vacant, marry me."

That said, the grey-haired demon was ridiculed in the Water Capital.
