The next morning.
I said I couldn't, and I was asked to see Chief Dion.
"What's wrong with you?
Did you work after the celebration?
With a tired face, the chief of the family asked me.
"Good morning, clan chief. Actually, I was wrong."
"Hmm?"
"I thought the merchant country was going to set me up in bad faith, but apparently it wasn't."
"We don't have much time, but let's talk"
"Yes, I snuck in to them yesterday and listened..."
I told them everything about what orders they took and what they came here to do.
"... I see. Are you going to take the time to take it in? approach would not be possible unless we did gain trust"
"Yes, it seems like a slow plan to be suspicious of the dragon kingdom and to trust them merchants"
"If so, the same approach seems likely for your Lord's parents and patrons"
"Right. Especially Linda... I'm worried about the patrons."
If I thought I had more new business partners, the merchant country was breathing. Oh, my God, there could be.
or so, it's hard to find out in advance before choosing who to do business with.
If you sneak in from the back, you can eliminate it, but if you come straight from the front with a friendly face, that's hard too. At best, it is Sekiyama who advises.
"There's no point in being hostile to the Lord when you think in common sense. There will always be a lot of contact, directly or indirectly."
"Right. I'm still a grad student, so I can't accept any gifts, but after graduation, I have to decide on anything of my own accord. Will there be full contact after next April?"
"I don't know if it's like that.... Yes, that reminds me. I haven't been able to give you my last reward yet, but I was wondering what would be good."
The chief of the clan has repeatedly told me that he wants to give me a reward for withdrawing the demonic army.
I can't accept anything like a gift, but I can get rewards for my mission if Dragon Nation approves.
In the past, dragon jockeys who saved the village from the threat of the Moon Warcraft as college students have also been awarded by the village along with hardware.
"I've thought a lot about it, but I think something less shapely would be better"
Taking into account my position, the chief of the family asks me in advance so that I don't have any trouble after receiving it.
"Something that doesn't stay in shape... there are medals, but it's also a little different."
The chief of the family is troubled.
"I don't care what the Dragon Nation admits, but would you prefer something that can still be consumed?"
Previously, Harim, the "luxury merchant", tried to give me a pill that would make him a wizard.
Of course I said no, but oh I think "what doesn't stay" would be best.
"Okay. Then let's think in that direction."
"Thank you"
"... by the way, this is the only story. What do you really want the most?
The chief of the clan has been diving his voice and listening, so he decides to answer honestly.
"I want to live quietly, and I want a house in a quiet local city."
Work in a neighborhood bakery and own your own store in the future.
Yeah, ideal.
"You're a good joke"
The chief of the family laughed in a good mood when he also had a sense of humor.
- Let me go home to my parents!
From this day forward, I decided to actively converse with the young merchants in order to make the merchants say,
Nothing. A conversation also pretends to be as interested as possible.
I shrugged my face and smiled and gaveled at him, happy to exaggerate a little.
When I am impressed, the story of the merchants entertains me.
Conversely, I was not interested in the topic. [M] I mean, I decided to dress as calm as possible.
I could be close enough to exchange a stiff handshake with them at the end of the celebration.
I'm sure he'll go back to the merchant country and report on the results to a large extent.
Leon the Dragon Trainer, easy to give and.
Would this have fulfilled Her Majesty's directive?
It's hard because if you were suspicious as before, I wouldn't take the means to catch you, to kill you.
The more friendly they behave, the more they stick to the way they do it.
You narrow your options.
I've thought about it and acted on it, but what would they have thought of fulfilling it?
"I've been watching, but I've been doing great."
Yes, the chief of the family praised me, so I think a young merchant could have fooled me.
If they had met five times, they might have felt it.
The celebration is over, and the routine returns to the family of the raven.
I have another directive.
That's against the Devil's Army.
"I don't have any information yet."
"Is it still true"
The situation has not changed dramatically, even when it is time to go into mid-December.
I go out near the border with the Devil's Country every day and watch my surroundings.
In order to conclude the alliance, we must return to the King's Capital once and for all, and its due date is approaching.
"If there is no movement as it is, should we act now"
"Right. It's the beginning of the year that the demonic kingdom moves... no, it won't take long after that."
The movement of merchants from the demonic kingdom is already almost gone. The information doesn't come in.
This creepy tranquility scares me the other way around.
It's better to move toward an alliance than to shrink your nerves here like this.
That's what the chief of the family seems to have decided.
In the meantime, Anne, who was going to the Great Bobcat's clan territory, returned.
"Welcome back, Mr. Ann"
"I'm home, Leon.... heh, it's nice to have Leon pick you up when you get home."
He's also finished the rough negotiations, and Mr. Ann's turn is gone.
So he said he was able to return to his own territory one step faster.
It was the Feilong formation of the Dragon Nation that brought Mr. Ann here.
The dragons come and go frequently, just as there is no need to hide the friendship between the movers and the dragon kingdom anymore.
"Leon, haven't you changed?
"Yeah. We're taking our time now."
I have had several letters exchanged with Ann.
In particular, the story of the princess after she went to the clan to save her Highness had been delivered in a rather long letter.
"I heard you're patrolling the border now."
"Yes. The Devil's Country is a great thing. I'm bored every day."
"Well."
"That's a good thing, isn't it," Ann asked, but she was laughing when Sharazard said that one of these days she would be unbearable.
Let's report back to Ann and talk about the way things are going... when we were talking about it.
I'm stuck.
