○ Town of Rayvos, the capital of the demonic kingdom
A few days after the declaration of war by the Dragon Nation.
The location is the Chamber of Commerce in the town of Rayvos.
Three of the five western heads of the meeting were gathered here.
One has many chambers of commerce and a number of branches, 'White Night (Bitter)' Innocent Trough.
Because Innocent's products are widely shallow but mottled and have established chambers of commerce to suit their products, buyers often do not know, originally, that even their fellow merchants are Innocent stores there.
Innocent's stores are such that it is said that the sun does not set that they are hidden big merchants who leave the name of a wide area merchant wanting.
I am told that there is no more land than Innocent tells me to ask if I know the world, and that he has no hands on it.
The other is "Iron Farming" Nicolaide Crypto.
Nicolaide has a share that does not donate other merchants when it comes to agriculture and industry.
Originally in the business of transporting cereals, they are involved in the development and sale of agricultural tools, as well as fishing and forestry, including commerce at wholesale destinations.
The more Nicolaide tells me to ask me to fill my stomach, the more that arm is resounding.
And just because the name 'Iron Farming' is not Dade, when the Devil Nation enters war, it supplies a lot of food and weapons.
The last one is "Reinjin" Godrick LeBlanc.
Godrick works in the arts and deals extensively with everything from paintings and sculptures to more artistic to entertainment, such as theatre and drama.
Exactly. Godrick is arguably a preacher of culture and art.
In recent years, despite liquor stores, baths, etc., it has also entered the sex sector.
The more Godrick tells me to ask if I know the times, the more he grabs the hearts of the people from the aristocracy.
When it comes to what these three men are gathered together in one room, they all hold their heads together.
The cause is the declaration of war by the Dragon Nation. Regarding the reason for the war.
"For the Dragon Nation, the Devil Nation will only be luggage. Still, I think it was our intention to wipe out the country and not invest in it."
While Innocent sighs, check the status quo.
"Is it possible to transfer claims to Dragon Nation?
Innocent waves his face sideways at Nicolaide's inquiry.
"If that's possible, you can make a deed or something like that without limits. You won't admit it."
I lent you money. I didn't just borrow it.
Even if the country perishes, many contracts, including employment, will be forced to be fulfilled if the promises made with the previous country are valid.
Then we can't start anything, and it won't.
"When we take over business, we have to take on that liability, including that. We might have to push around and let the demands go through."
Godrick's voice has no power.
The three of us here have already thrown quite a bit of money into the Devil Nation.
There were plans to collect over the future, and more importantly, to continue to generate wealth by shaping national politics.
"We're the ones who don't charge you. Do we have to do this?"
At the end of the day, the current military might cannot counteract the dragon kingdom.
It was a consultation that the war could not be waged. Then we will have to have the country bought out in a more conditional fashion.
"Give me what you got."
Innocent tells him to throw it away, but no one expected him to set it up again at this time when the war was over.
The three were then temporarily interrupted by the arrival of visitors, although they were to squeeze the wisdom of how to withdraw gold from the Dragon Nation.
"Even the Demon King came?
"I don't know who I'm dealing with right now."
"… no, I am named Fustra of the five heads of the East" Mayno (Bukuya) "
"Has" Mino "arrived?
"That must have been paradise."
"Fair enough. Let us through."
Hustra Ayroon, who came, looked pretty tired.
"Long time no see, you three"
"That's a sudden visit, from 'Mayno'. Was there a problem?
"I thought this was the one in trouble."
"Indeed. That's why we're discussing a way to unlock it."
"If you're trying to make Dragon Nation pay for its debts, it's a bad idea."
"What!?
"This declaration of war. Too much wisdom for that fox."
"What do you mean, of" Mayno "?"
"This declaration of war is against a substantial trading country. Is that okay?"
"Of course."
"Whatever, I know."
"You're going to crush the merchant country until you have a big package called Demon Country. What do you think would happen if we let Dragon Nation take over our debts?
"You'll poke at it. But the merchants will not turn everything against the enemy."
"We'll have to fold it somewhere."
"As for the drop, it is our conclusion that only half of it is recovered."
"Impossible. Because that's what Dragon Nation is after."
"? I don't know what that means. It would be the merchant's right to claim the money loaned"
"We set the deadline for declaring war at the first day of the following month in order to have the first meeting. And the members of the meeting have already been announced. The meeting actually went into effect, and the record is good."
Three people, including Innocent, with the exception of Fustra, tilt their necks.
"This time, the members of the conference are, so to speak, exchangers who took part in national politics. And when you claim to be part of the Dragon Nation, you will be punished by the laws of the Dragon Nation."
"Hmm? Really? Do we treat the demon people the same way?"
"You see. If the merchant had lent money to the demon kingdom, would there still have been room for negotiation to the dragon kingdom, not this time? At a time when I am involved in the national politics of the demonic kingdom, I am part of the demonic kingdom. And if the Devil Nation goes down to Dragon Nation, the billing related around it will crush it kickingly. Don't let him escape saying he didn't know later..."
"So you're saying it's hard to charge"
"I wonder if I dare. Make them differ after prior arrangement. Then the act is an obstacle to the annexation of the demonic kingdom. You'll be able to shake a major player and take it down. They might call it anti-state behavior."
"Big deal..."
"The demonic kingdom has surrendered, bloodless and changed its ruler. Let's forget about the past and live in the future as the people of the new dragon kingdom...... is that how it is? But once the pact was decided, a man appeared. He prioritizes his interests and complains that the agreement is invalid… etc."
I caught him and looked him up, and all the evil came out of him.
This has to be executed. Fustra said he could see such a future.
"So do we have to transfer the rights to the people of the Chamber of Commerce and make them claim instead?"
"Everything in that hand will be getting hit in the hand. You can do it, but you'll undoubtedly be punished in collusion. It was originally to get rid of us, so there won't be any point in bypassing. Anyway, this is going to be a dragon country."
"Hmm."
"What's wrong?"
I also know what Fustra says.
That's why the results are the same when you pull back with "yes does it".
"Can we fight a war here?
"How?
"How about using mercenaries to raid Kingdoms directly?
"There are no recipients. You can't be fat by force in the first place, so you've been using your hands."
The meeting moved forward with Fustra's arrival, but for that matter, it moved away from the conclusions.
The lights in the conference room never went out late that day.
