The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode Six: A Maid's Great Fury

"... sorry. I don't think I could hear you."

Would you say that again? and quiet, then staring at him in the matter with angry eyes, looking at the gaze of my Lord, Erica... I, Emili Notesfilt, stare at him with a gaze of fury beyond that.

"Master Matsuyoshi"

"Er... excuse me. Was it, Emily?

"I'm late for my application. I am Emily Notesfildt, the maid in charge of this mansion."

"This is polite. My name is Kota Matsudai. Best regards,"

Whether or not to say hello... depends on your upcoming response.

"... I will not sit down to borrow the word of the Lord, but what the hell do you mean by that earlier word?

"My name is... earlier?

"'Aren't you going to make that unattractive city attractive?

Matsuyo-sama opens her eyes wide to my words. What, that face?

"... excuse me. If you're upset, I apologize."

... what?

"... what does that mean?" Don't you want to make an unattractive city attractive? ', oh, and then you added,' Assuming there's a 'lord'? That's my lord, Erica Orenfeld van Flame, if she doesn't do her rightful work as a lord...... is that such an 'insult'?

"No, that's not what I meant..."

I said, "Sorry," and then I bowed my head again, Matsuyo-sama. Yeah, you said the apology was national or something.

"Apologies are fine. Reason."

... I forgive you for such a cheap apology.

"Terra is a land facing the sea, with sea breezes. The sea breeze does not have a good effect on the crop and therefore the omission continues. Also a lonely fishing village buried in a corner of history since history. There are no notable tourist attractions that attract tourists. In it, our Lord strives every day to protect, guide, and make a better life for the people of Terra."

... Yes. I know, only I know.

"... you can't refuse to tolerate it as our maid of honor if you know nothing about it"

... what do you know?

"... I'm very sorry. imitate the past of the maid."

No matter how disrespectful you say it, the Guest is the Guest. I would say more than that. I don't mean to imitate what he said, but this is one of the apologies.

"... I need skills in management, but I have something more important than that. It's the will of a burning manager."

... what?

"In my world, it's the human language that started one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, our industry… banking, but it's one of the 'challenges' that I would always pass if I were a banking person"

……

"If you say the ultimate, be it a large company, a small or medium-sized business, a zero size company like what you do with your parents and your son… Of course, whether it's a 'country' or a 'territory', it's one place to go. No matter how good a territory you have, no matter how attractive a tourist resource you have, if you're not motivated by managers, it's treasure rotting, pointless."

That's what I said, one sigh.

"... If you are a 'business owner', I wondered if you could turn away from the current challenges and clean up 'cause it's an unattractive city' with words. That's all."

... It's close to a miracle I didn't beat him up.

"I don't know anything about you... I don't have the guts to tell you that!

How much do you know, you?

"As Sister Wang, as a member of the Flame royal family, as Duke and Duke, how much pressure Erica is under to run the territory of this Terra... you know what I mean!

"No, I don't know. So I apologized because I thought it was a silence."

"If so!"

"But if you can ask for my opinion, that's another story. I know there are a variety of problems, challenges, or risks in territorial management, but are you taking measures to solve even one of them?

"... what?

"For example, it was said that the crop could not be taken, but that profitability was weak because of it. So why do you confine yourself only to crops?

... Why?

"Earlier we talked about crops being poorly grown, right?

Dear Matsuyo-sama... No, Matsuyo-sama says so and stares at this one.

"So why aren't you quitting crop production?

"You're asking me to starve the people!

"No. But agriculture is a pretty heavy labor. Despite this, crops are difficult to grow… meaning that they have not received a price commensurate with their labor. Are you the ones who tell the people to starve?

"What!

"Withdrawal from the so-called unprofitable business sector, which slashes and throws away weak revenue sectors in mind, is the basis for business re-establishment. More..."

That's what I say, I look around the room. and that gaze stops at one point.

"... for example, that painting. I'm oblivious to art, but it's a painting in this room that entertains visitors, so wouldn't it cost a lot?

"It was a painter's work about two hundred years ago. Honestly, I can't put a price on it. That's the family heirloom of this Duke Terra house."

"Let's Sell"

"-Ru... right? What did you say? You want me to sell it?

"Yes."

"You... you were listening to me! I'm the family heirloom of this Duke of Terra house! It's a painting given directly to Erica by her predecessors!

"Does it even have an anecdote, great? There will be a high value."

"It's equal to our family heirloom! You insult the Duke Terra's house!

"You must be insulted. If you don't have the money."

"What!

"Pride, pride, pride... anything is fine, but does that make you bloated?

"You!"

"You've already passed the stage where you can choose, right? Necessary imminent assets should be sold. I don't know how much the hell it's going to cost, but isn't it going to add up at all?

"So!"

"Emily!"

Erica's short reprimand for trying to recruit me is stopped.

"... Coata. It's not that easy to let go."

"Even if we can improve our financial content?

"Yeah. You said you were proud and your stomach wouldn't swell. Sure, but... we royalty, nobility, are an important source of nourishment." to maintain the title of the Territory. "

"... I see. So you can't sell that painting."

"Yes."

That's one thing to say, snort.

"... but if I personally collect jewels or paintings... you can sell them"

"Dear Erica!

What are you talking about, Master Erica? You are the king and sister of this kingdom of Flame! He's one of the closest royalties to His Majesty!

"You throw your own jewels and paintings? There's no way you can imitate that!

"Oh, why? Like Coata said, I don't use the gems or paintings I have, I don't see them, I just... what could it have been? No?"

"An unnecessary and impatient asset, is it?

"Yes, that's not it. If you don't mind, just sell me the sole."

"So, but!

Royalty, the Duke of Rondo de Terra, selling off jewels and paintings in trouble for money? Oh no...

"Such a mess... can you imitate such a mess!

"Emili......"

"You will! 'Cause Master Erica was doing her best!

... Yes.

Master Erica was doing her best.

I was born royal and lived in the king's capital for nothing.

I was forced to migrate to such a despicable land where crops didn't grow cleverly, and still worked in territorial management without complaining......!

"Besides, there is no reason for Erica to be allowed to point her back finger at the people!

That'll be enough. Master Erica has been hard enough. Why should all Erica suffer so much more?

"... thank you, Emily. But... I can't help it."

That's what Erica smiles at. The figure seeps in tears.

"... Coata"

"... what is it?

"That's how... if you sell the paintings and gems I have..."

... this, will Terra get better?

"... no"

Yes, Matsuyo slashed away Erica's words so that she could make a wish.

"You!"

"I wouldn't have a hard time if it was that easy to get better. In the end, what you get from the sale of unnecessary and imminent assets is temporary cash...... unless you change the underlying revenue structure, it will mean nothing. Sooner or later the funds will become available and it will be necessary to sell them again. That's what you get, too, Cash, after all. It also bottoms out and sells again. Either way..."

I'm out of stuff to sell, out.

"Then there's no point in just selling it!

"Right. If you don't hit anything, it means nothing. But you can temporarily cash your assets by selling them. Cash is a current asset, so it can be diverted to anything."

... that is.

"We can develop a new revenue division."

……

……

"... if... if you could do the revenue department, would Terra be better?

"Right. If it's going to be a pillar, Terra will probably be better."

"... yes"

That said, Master Erica has one sigh.

"... so... are you going to help me, Coata?

"Dear Erica!

"Shut up, Emily. We can't believe we even sold jewellery and paintings for money."

"That would be so! Think in common sense, nobility sells their assets, etc. -"

"Did that idea bother Terra so much?

"Huh!"

"... Coata"

That said, Erica sends her gaze to Matsuyo. Oh, Master Erica. No. That's all...

"... if it's me and I can help. I'm going to work on my clothes and lodging."

"Yes... it's a pleasure to meet you, Master Brave."

That's what I said, Master Erica took Coata's hand.

... Dear Erica. The man is not a brave man...... he is a demon king.
