"Married to?"
"Yes, the mercenaries are saying they want to get married.It seems that it would be better if they lived in Orient Country.Can you do something about it, Christina? "
"Hmm. I don't see anyone marrying someone from the foothills of the spiritual peaks.Well, she's not here yet.... "
"Really? No, thank God. Me and Elvis don't have to do this anymore.I'm glad we talked to Christina. "
I thought about the mercenaries' marriage story, but in the end I didn't have a good idea.
Yeah, I've been worried about it for a while, but I can't figure it out.
Rather, I don't think there's anything we can do about it for people like me and Elvis from the Fontana United Kingdom.
I don't know anybody here who's supposed to keep people married.
So Elvis talked to me, and I told Christina about it.
Because Christina has a face as a merchant, she has connections, and I wondered if she has that kind of information.
And, apparently, it was a hit.
He said he was going to be able to handle it.
"No, wait a minute, Mr. Alphonse.It's not that I don't have an idea, but it's not that easy. "
"Really? But there's a way."
"Yes, by the way, a woman who lives in Orient Country, and these men are happy with it.And the man who marries me to this village of Vulcan and lives in it.I do have an idea. "
"Well, that's a good thing, or have you often met someone like that?"
"Actually, that's not what I don't have to talk about.The story of a man marrying a woman from Orient Country, an urban state. "
Sit facing each other and continue talking.
It's what the mercenaries want, and it's convenient for this Vulcan village.
Christina certainly knows such a person.
But I don't think I happen to know that.
"What do you mean?"
"I told you before, right? The city states are giving citizenship to the people who live there."
"Oh, that's right. There are first-class citizens and second-class citizens in the city, and people like peddlers can get into the city as free citizens."
"Well, suppose there was a merchant with a lot of money?Such a person usually thinks this way.Not as a free citizen, but as a second-class citizen who can live in a city. "
"Hmm. I'm sure some of them do.It's true that first-class citizens and second-class citizens have different rights to Congress. "
"That's right. That kind of citizenship is strictly regulated.It's a mechanism that's not easily available.Well, there seem to be some exceptions these days. "
Speaking of which, did the depleted Orient Nation even give citizenship to those who were active on the battlefield?
Basically, people living in slums do not have citizenship.
Therefore, even if you are killed just standing on the road, if you don't complain, there is no property rights.
However, even such slum dwellers have a mechanism for obtaining citizenship when they act as soldiers on the battlefield.
Kiku was originally an orphan, but one day he would dream of taking advantage of the battlefield and living in the city.
"... I see. Perhaps there is a mechanism for merchants to become more than second-class citizens?And there's a way to get it even if you don't risk your life as a soldier. "
"That's right, Mr. Alphonse. Normally, merchants can only be recognized as free citizens, no matter how much money they put aside.Well, if you pay a huge amount to an urban state, maybe you can handle it, but there aren't any merchants who can do that.But what do you think a businessman of that size would do if he really wanted citizenship over the second grade? "
"Maybe that's where we can talk about marriage?If you marry someone who lives in a city that already has citizenship, merchants will also be granted citizenship. "
"That's right, and there's an implicit understanding that's been going on for a long time.It's a personal favor. "
"What is that?"
"To buy the identity of a woman who works in a brothel.It's like a kind of remedy.Because whoever's in a whorehouse is definitely in huge debt first.Take on the prostitute by accumulating his debts and what the brothel was supposed to earn in the future.As a wife, if you're a prostitute and you're more than a second class citizen, there's a citizenship system for that rich guy.Some of the payment for the dowry goes into the country as a tax, and there are advantages to bringing merchants with that amount of money into the country. "
"I have such a thing.So, Christina's idea is to use the solicitation mechanism to find someone to marry the mercenaries. "
"Well, there's always a way to legally marry a woman who lives in Orient Country.Well, it's going to cost me that much. "
"... maybe you know someone? Inside the whore."
"Oh, I see.Yes, my old friend actually works as a prostitute in Orient Country.If possible, I'd like her to do the same. "
Apparently, I also know Christina.
Speaking of which, Christina was supposed to be making a lot of money, but she didn't seem to be spending much money.
I thought you might be saving up like a merchant, but maybe you were thinking of asking someone you know for a hooker.
A personal favor.
I don't have to wonder if you can solve it with money to find someone to marry.
But it may be an option.
After listening to Christina, I finally figured out who the mercenaries were marrying.
