The sight with Her Majesty is bad for the heart anyway.
The day after the sight.
As soon as class was over, I accompanied Linda to Joshua's office.
Mr. Joshua is now under house arrest in the trade hall.
I'm not stuck doing anything bad.
You think you can't go home because you can't finish your job anyway?
"... this is the mall?
There was a huge fortress built in the middle state of the river.
Doesn't look like a building that might have business or anything to do with it, even if it's wrong.
"That's right. What's the matter with you?
"No, I'm lightly crossing the stage of being tough."
"Isn't it originally a military facility? It seems this is where the state prepared it for us."
"I guess so. If this isn't about the military, you're scared the other way around."
Access to the merchant hall is restricted to bridges crossed by rivers.
High walls surround the perimeter.
Me and Linda went inside after a rigorous check at the entrance.
When I went to Mr. Joshua's office, the paperwork and books were piled up in a mess.
"You've come a long way, Leon.... Oh man, now I can take a little break"
Is it the secretary next to such a Mr. Joshua?
Three men and women frowned. Is it being watched not to skip?
"It's been a while, Mr. Joshua. You seem a lot tired."
"That's right. Something you have to settle comes in every day. Dimensions say if you extend it until tomorrow, it will pile up. There's a total shortage of manpower."
I have a bear under my eyes. I guess I'm tired.
Mr. Joshua drank a cup of tea and drove him aside "Don't be lukewarm".
"It's been a long time, Dad. I wonder how long it's been since I've stayed here."
"Hmm, maybe five or six days"
"Aren't you stupid? Why don't you go home and get some sleep today?
"That being said, work comes in one after another."
"So what are your men for? Leave it to your men."
Linda says so, but I guess there are circumstances where she can't.
Mr. Joshua is in charge of mutual insurance, so he's the one who pays the merchant who was harmed.
Do you make payments or don't you?
How much would be reasonable if I were to pay?
They seem to be making those final decisions.
It's an important job that people can't handle.
The decision that Mr. Joshua is making now will become the benchmark for the future.
I guess I can't leave that to people because I know that.
"But here...... is it really a commercial museum? To me."
"You look like a military facility, don't you?
Mr. Joshua laughed niggardly.
"Yeah, it's called location, it's called equipment, and I don't think it's a very commercial place for people to use it."
"This seems to be the second military command department. I don't normally use it, so it was empty. That's why he lent it to me as the headquarters of the Dragon Nation Chamber of Commerce."
"Command ministry was on the side of the Imperial Castle, right?"
"If it's a war, the Dragon Club and the military will come together around there. Close to the castle, close to the dragon field."
Yes, there is a fine military headquarters just outside the castle.
"The second military command department is preliminary, right here?"
"Yes. If the castle and the command department fall, the summit will stand here. Drop the bridge and the enemy won't come."
It would be like a flying dragon to come and go.
"I see, the last fort. So"
"If this place falls, the dragon kingdom will be dealt with. That's why they usually shut it down, but they were able to run it at any time."
I was having difficulty selecting the location of the Dragon Nation Chamber of Commerce, and they offered to use this place.
Maybe it was also an experiment to see if it could actually run.
"Hey, Dad. Let's talk more about work than that."
"Oh, you did. So, how'd it go?
"Yes, this. Investigation report. There were no bandits, but it looks like people from other countries dressed as merchants were doing bad. I think we can deal with it now that we know what caused it."
"... you checked this out?
"It was Leon who looked into it. I helped with the report, too."
"I see... you're doing a lot of research. But isn't this organized crime? Surprise."
"I'm glad Leon is a dragon jockey. How much did you look for near the street?"
"Right. You might find out by checking all the merchant shipments going into and out of town... no, then you'll replace the shipments or disperse them. Unless we held the scene down, we wouldn't have known what was going on. Well done, Leon."
"You've been helped a lot by chance. I hope this reduces the damage."
"I can be vigilant if I know the M.O. Once the subject of vigilance is known, the security system in this country will not be loose. Gradually, but it's going to decrease."
"That was good. Now you can go home soon."
"Oh. If so, I wonder if the lending department will resent me"
Inside the mall, only the Mutual Insurance Department and the Loan Department seem to be working day in and day out.
If so, will the lending department be the only remaining group?
"Speaking of which, there seems to be a considerable increase in the number of new entrants to the Chamber of Commerce"
"Right. Even if you want to open a store in the province, you have to go through the process in Wangdu once, so it looks like the contact is always back."
Apparently there are multiple loan application desks all over town, not here, but there's a line up outside the building.
"The lending department is in the same building."
"Right. I've never been there either, though, because it's quite finely divided inside."
Sounds like a military facility, with limited access to travel.
They seem to value defensiveness over convenience.
"That being said, I heard you're issuing dragon country merchandise tickets."
"Yeah. That's a temporary ticket. It's a good hand because the payment comes first."
"I heard you need three exquisite silver plates, but it's amazing technology."
"Ho."
Mr. Joshua suddenly became the face of a merchant.
Until now, it was a gentle neighborhood uncle.
"People who give information to Leon seem to be in a much higher position"
Mr. Joshua's eyes weren't laughing.
