Mitsuha-sama, the Enova Chamber of Commerce has inspected!

"You're here..."

Yeah, I thought it was about time.

"I'm not a guard, I'm an inspector from the royal palace."Usually, private stores rarely get inspected by the Royal Palace unless it's a fraud in doing business with the state.

He also accompanied the upper levels of the commercial guild.

Usually, there is a commercial guild that should be fiercely opposed to public power turning out to merchants...

No, well, the chairman of the Enova Chamber of Commerce undergoing the inspection himself is a member of the Commercial Guild, so if you don't succeed, the Guild itself may be caught in the fire.

In some cases, the commercial guild itself and its merchants may be subject to repeated inspections, so I think we are doing everything we can to stop the fire from spreading by beating the Enova Chamber of Commerce so that it can be finished by the Enova Chamber of Commerce alone. ”

"Ah, firefighting destruction..."

It is a way to prevent and extinguish the spread of fire by destroying, crushing and removing surrounding buildings in the event of a fire.

It's called destructive firefighting or destructive firefighting.

Perhaps this time, we are trying to prevent it from spreading to the surroundings by crushing and eliminating the Enova Chamber of Commerce, which is the source of the fire.

... which means that the Commercial Guild abandoned the Enova Chamber of Commerce.

Well, I guess I can't help it.

Rumors are spreading throughout the capital and across the country that the Enova Chamber of Commerce has dyed its hands for heinous crimes.

And the backbone of the power holders until now, even if the opposing factions are involved in the pursuit of the Enova Chamber of Commerce, defending the Enova Chamber of Commerce will provide a suitable attacking material, and if you do not succeed, you will be fatally injured rather than hit hard.

No fool would take such a risk for the sake of a common merchant.

All you have to do is pick a replacement merchant and make a deal.

Yeah, that's not true faith or friendship, but just money or interest.

"Maybe the merchant didn't think he'd get cut off so easily.""After all, I will have been sending bribes and entertaining for years..."

But that's because the opponent probably doesn't feel any debt.

If it doesn't benefit you or is useless, you'll be cut off immediately.

And you decided to put someone more useful in the cauldron.

The nobles, the merchants, the people who thought they adored themselves...

I used to be a tiger or a wolf, but now I'm a pig or a dog... and I'm in the water (...). I don't have any allies anymore... "

Yes, you can tell if you have a true friend when you're in trouble, not when you're in a good mood.

... well, even if you had true friends, if all the bad things are exposed, evidence is found, and all the people who are supposed to defend you go around to the enemy, and the victims who have been crying and sleeping all the time complain and testify here, you can't really help them.

If you take the side of the Enova Chamber of Commerce now, if you do it badly... no, even if you don't do it badly, you will be ruined by the collateral damage.

Everyone cares about themselves, their families, and their stores.

“How is your friend's shop?”

“Yes, not as bad as the Enova Chamber of Commerce, but similar.It's a villain's hip or a little villain... "

I didn't seem to have directly dyed my hands on the heinous crime, but it seemed that I was involved to such an extent that even if I was treated as an accomplice, I would normally have committed fraud, threats, acts of violence using my child's thugs, etc..... "

Larcia was only helping her parents with the store until she became a merchant, so she didn't seem to know much about the back part, but now she has experienced employees teaching her and buying information with money, which seems to be fairly straightforward.

"Therefore, I think that the results of the documents and inquiries seized at the Enova Chamber of Commerce will lead to an examination of the tasting ceremony."

... that is, a good and expensive fine and indemnity, or, worse still, a child or a serious senior employee hiding from the shogunate, or the state taking away the management rights... or a business out of business. "

Kivicy!

"No, I shouted so unexpectedly, but considering how many people I've tampered with, broken and trampled on my life, it's too light a punishment..."

Ah, no, even if the punishment from His Majesty the King is light, if such a bad reputation spreads throughout the country, the customers will leave, the eyes of surveillance will be strict, and the illegal act won't come to an end...

Even though they were making money by helping each other with illegal activities and the prestige of a group of bad merchants, the boring business was sealed off, and there was no medium-sized chamber of commerce that had only the repayment obligation of bad reputation and compensation...

Ah, so I should change my mind and change the name of the store and start over.

If it's easy to crush, employees and business partners who were doing it seriously, regardless of the crime, will be troubled.

As a country, is it not worth a sentence just because its economic strength and tax revenues decline?

... that's right, don't you want to destroy the merchant as much as possible...

"Well, that's fine with the merchants, but what about the ones above..."

Huh?

Larcia's eyes peeled as I muttered.

"Uu, uuuu, up there, no way..."

"Yes, the nobleman behind the Enova Chamber of Commerce, who used the Chamber of Commerce as an entrance and exit merchant."

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

Yeah, it's a diacute, right?

"No, that's not it!"

Whatever you do, don't touch the aristocrats, that's enough!! "

Is that what it is?



Since then, Larsia has been greeted.

Perhaps the Larcia trade raid was an arbitrary act of the Enova Chamber of Commerce aimed at monopolizing the products of Viscount Yamano's territory, even though it was not specifically instructed by the superior...

At best, it may have been a particularly modest request to "deliver a sufficient quantity of Yamano products".

Larcia seems to think that the senior nobility will not think of a small start-up merchant who only handles a few goods from other countries.Without paying much attention to such matters, I ordered the merchant who was going in and out to just "deliver the goods as much as possible", and it ended.

The Enova Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to "monopolize and make a lot of money".

Surely, it's no wonder you think you can make a fortune by monopolizing our goods.

A handful of cosmetics that are allowed to be sold to the public because of their alcoholic delicacies and, above all, because of the pressure of their wives and daughters to buy them at any price.

If you monopolize these, you will almost certainly get the ranks of many senior noblemen, as well as the ranks of royal palace merchants.Making big money, status and fame is easy.

... theoretically, right?

Well, I won't allow it to be too lucrative, and I won't let the Chamber of Commerce offend Larcia Trade.From the beginning, it was an impractical ambition...

Anyway, that's why Larcia said, "It seems that you shouldn't touch the nobility"...

Well, I don't mean to add enemies or sell fights to this country.

Moreover, it is not convenient to think that our "International Network of Female Business Owners" is an organization hostile to the nobility.

"I guess I'll have to convince you around here..."

Yes, that's it. 'For now, I don't want to give up around here!'That's the one, yeah.

Of course, just in case, I'll let you keep it down.Do not allow Larcia Trade or Larcia herself to harm the survivors and relatives of the Enova Chamber of Commerce, those hired by them, and other nobles and merchants.

I think it has an effect.If you say to the nobles who took care of you, "If there is anything in Larsia Trade or Larsia, I will not do business with this country because I cannot do business with such a scary country, and I will inform the member stores of the neighboring countries not to do business with this country's merchants".

At that time, if you say, "Please tell the merchants who have deals firmly about it," it will be even more effective.

Well, there are as many exchanges as there are merchants going in and out, but there are no exchanges between "Larcia Trade" and Larcia.If you don't know when something happens, it will be rounded off, then you won't be the head of the Chamber.

Ah, let's make sure that the compensation is paid to the family of the deceased guard...
