"Conversely, there are problems."

I looked up in surprise at Lady Courty's words.

Mr. Courty makes me nervous because I rarely hear a word about trouble. Look, Rufez looked serious, too.

"No store owner said he'd never done the deal himself. On the contrary, it's troublesome to have nothing to compartmentalize."

"Sure. Doesn't Mr. Courty mean that each of those shopkeepers even think of the person he's dealing with?

Rufez, who is studying politics beside his father, swallows quickly after all. I seem to have immediately understood what Master Courty was trying to say, and I am very jealous.

"Yeah, I'm going to politely ask about the situation again this afternoon, but so far I am"

"Buying directly from peasants and mines..."

"It's also possible. In the first place, the number of products in each store is thin and the quantity is not abundant."

"Is it because of the small population"

Finally, I pinched one thing. The conversation between you two is going fast and it's hard to follow.

"Yes, it is difficult to secure turning it into a transaction, even if the amount handled is small in the first place. Leonardo, too, apparently struggles to find someone to negotiate with. I didn't see it on the market."

Mr. Leo's topic suddenly comes back to life and I don't know what to look like for a moment. If Mr. Leo is struggling, I hope he can help at all.

"Hmm, so? How are we supposed to move now?

To Rufez's words, Master Courty smiled teasingly.

"Oh, are you going to take part in the investigation already? You don't have to."

"It's okay, I'm young. As you can see, he's recovering quite a bit... and it's not nice to be seen all the time."

Lufez's amber eyes glow challengingly. If I'm feeling better, I guess I can't forgive myself for what I've been.

I can't help it, Rufez. You hate losing so much.

"What do you say, Miss Cristiane? My brother, have you recovered enough to take part in the investigation yet?

Kid Rufez looks at me. It's okay, because I don't have to sue you with my eyes so desperately, I won't say anything to your disadvantage.

"Yeah, I don't think that's a problem. He's got a good foothold."

If I undertake to do so, Master Courtie agrees with satisfaction.

I'm sure you knew my answer from the beginning.

"Let's discuss the investigation in the afternoon."
