The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Episode XIV Terra Holidays
"I have tea in here. Please, Maria."
"Hmm? Oh, dear."
The tea Emily put in for me and Emily's handmade cookies. Let them go into your mouth, and we let the expression swing. Really, Emily's cookies are delicious.
"... Maria's gonna eat really happy. It's worth it."
"Because it's delicious to the homa. Yes, Master Erica. I can't believe you can eat delicious cookies all you want every day. Well, we're gonna be Erica's kids, too. Yeah?
"I refuse to have such a big child."
Like I was scared to say so, but Erica put her mouth on the tea with a gentle smile. "Oh, delicious," what a graceful smile is truly a noble sole.
"... ho, but don't you want a homma?
"What could it be?
"A merchant like us gracefully drank tea and tea from the nobleman's mansion, but not from his private room."
Yes, this is Erica's mansion... the deepest part of Erica's private room. Wood-end merchants like us come in and have no place to fly.
"Oh, now, huh? How many times have you been in my private room?
"No, yes, what burn?"
It has become customary for me to visit Erica's mansion once a week for tea since Terra arrived.
... No, huh? Sora, we don't have a cheaper mon than "What you can get is garbage" or "No free mon. 'Cause it's free, Yamon' said Kato Merchant's end. I'd appreciate it if you said you'd treat me, but you said no at first. 'Cause nobleman's mansion... such a mon, it's easy to say' hi, is it 'and go. It's awkward.
"Yeah... I appreciate the offer, but we're a little tough on that..."
'That's good. I don't care.'
I did this one word. Well, if I may say so, who's in power in this city? I don't think there's any harm in staying close to you, so I knocked around Erica's mansion gate with all my heart...
"... what are you talking about?
... Soya. This mansion is so cozy. Yeah. Tea is delicious and the cookies served are excellent. Besides, you have two beautiful sisters? My dad said, "The liquor is delicious and my sister is beautiful. Kato's Flower Street is one of the best in Orkena! 'But I know how that feels.
... Well, he did to your mother later.
"... you. You smell like an old man. After that, I have no taste in you."
"I prefer boys to girls. Yeah, but what about" cute "and" beautiful "for justice?
"... I know you're complimenting me on my appearance... but why can't I be honest with you?
Happy to go away, there.
"... at all"
I smile back at Erica sighing like that...... hey! What do you mean, deeper sighs!
"... even so, I'm comfortable with you."
"Really?"
"Seya. 'Cause Master Erica, do you really want to be a nobleman? Besides, the sister of the king of Flame now. It's normal for people on the clouds to talk nervously about us..."
You don't have to be nervous.
"I will! I don't think you're talking about us!
My hands trembled, so at first!
"... well yeah. Anyway, Master Erica doesn't seem that way at all. Oh, of course, ae. Meaning what? What do you mean, friendly or common..."
... I'm not complimenting you on this. "Common" towards nobility is so rude if you think about it...?
"I don't give a shit. As a nobleman, I know you would be 'noble' as someone who stands on top of people... but that doesn't mean you should just stick your chest up and flirt, does it?
Indeed.
"... that's what made Eyre Street"
"What?
"About Terra."
Normally, it costs a lot of money if you think the store is one. Taxes are the same, but it costs to open a store, pay people to hire in a store, and it costs to buy, and as much as a fortune blows away if you get some sort of detailed shelf.
"We don't take taxes to get the store out, we only take taxes for what we make. If I hire Terra's people for that tax, they'll put it away. They'll have the land and the stores, and it'll take about 10,000 pieces of white gold coins to keep, shelves and merchandise."
Sora, everyone wants to open the store. Ten thousand pieces of white gold, though.
"Thanks for that. But you know that, right? This idea is never my idea. Coata thought, Coata moved, and Coata accomplished it. I bargained a little bit... but that's exactly what I did, right?
Erica with tea in her mouth like nothing. This guy... you know what I'm talking about?
"... that's the best part."
"... what?
"This is what our brother has been saying for a long time..." Use any mon you can use, even your parents' enemies, "huh?
"Heh. Not bad, like a merchant."
"There's a continuation to this word, isn't there?" The human on the use side has a measure that can be used even by his parents' enemies. "
"Yeah, Maria? Humans, when you succeed, you suddenly get great. I don't care. I feel like I've become such a brilliant person, and I feel like I can do everything myself... by mistake, that's... We merchants are more skillful at making money than people, ordinary people. To a man who can do better than himself, drop his head and beg for teachings. Holle, you want to be someone who can use your parents' enemies, someone you can rely on? I don't care enough to bow my head to a man without any grudges."
Everything seems sleepy...... hoy, but only when we do business, my brother's face floats in the back of his brain that makes him Rin. Brother, how are you?
"... that's an inclusive word"
"Because standing on top of people seems pretty difficult. Especially Kota, a human from Yamate with no edges or connections? Do you normally honestly listen to people like that?
"Because there was no other way. Terra's finances were cliffy, and anything that comes to break this status quo, anyone could have done it."
"Then I begged a stranger to teach Kota Han, you mean?
"If I may borrow your brother's words, I will lower them as much as my head."
If that makes this city any better.
"... enemies ~"
"Really? For example, I can't make tea or cookies well. Then you'd better ask someone who can make it better than me, and thank them for making it better."
Show your willingness to surrender by raising your hands to Erica like nothing. This is amazing, you nobleman. Apart from ae or bad...... I can like you as a human being.
"... come on, Erica"
Saya.
"What?"
Just a little bit more...... shall we get along and see?
"Do you like Korta Han?
Boo-hoo, Erica spraying tea. No, Master Erica? You, nobleman? What do you say we spray tea?
"... Dear Erica, I'm a handkerchief"
"Keho...... Oh, thank you, Emily. Maria!"
My heart feels red on my cheeks and stares at this one, Master Erica. I have tea happiness on my mouth... well, that place looks adorable too. Shall I disrespect you if I say so?
"You! What are you suddenly saying?
"Huh? Did we say something weird?
"Oh, you bet! Well, I, uh... I admired the coata! Don't be ridiculous!
"Really? 'Cause Master Erica, you've been in so much trouble, haven't you? Terra's finances are so messed up, she's got straw, right?
"Yes!
"Showing up so refreshed with such a troubled Erica, Kota Han saved her life? What a heroic poem. Yan. Isn't it strange to fall in love?
Well, I think the way to save is to rebuild your finances, a very realistic knight.
"What, Master Erica? Face like you chewed up the bitter bug."
"No... 'Sober', you know... it was kind of like a dump dog, though"
"Abandoned dog?
"... nothing."
Say that, Cohon and one cough.
"... I do think Coata is awesome, and I appreciate it. You can even say I respect you. But it's not directly linked to a story about admiring or not admiring."
"Really? What, face?
"It's not your face, excuse me...... Maria, by the way. For your information, what do you think of Coata's appearance?
"What does Coata Han look like? You don't think it's that bad? What do you say we do, under the inside?
"Do you mean below normal?
"Unlimited proximity to normal. Besides, Cotta's more attractive than her face."
If you look at the development of this terra, you can tell the story.
"... that was a stupid question. Well... Maria's right, Coata is very attractive."
"Look, why? Are there enough people? Or... forgiveness or something."
About Erica, the current king's sister. It's not funny to have a political marriage or anything.
"Dear Angelica... I am thankful from the Mother of the Nation. The territory and the title, and Erica says," I want Erica to marry someone I really loved. "So even though it's the perfect ingredient for a political marriage, there's not a single floating story that I've said."
"I don't know what to say about a marriage pardon. Ho, but... Then why?
If I did the current story, there would be no obstacle to marriage. I think the Korta Han thing is fascinating. Well, marriage suddenly suddenly suddenly... I don't care about your relationship. Shall we?
"It's okay. Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut properly if you ask me?
The maiden has a hard mouth.
"I don't trust you... no, I don't... you know, don't get me wrong, right? I appreciate Coata, and I think she's amazing. I respect you. I do."
"But?"
"Um... I don't know what you're thinking, Coata?
……
………
..................... oh.
"Well... I sure do"
"Don't you think? I don't think everyone's doing anything they can think of. Sure, I may not know what he's thinking. But you don't talk to me about anything, you don't talk to me about anything. If you ask me, you'll tell me, and you'll tell me the results..."
So you're disqualified as a partner, right? and.
"... I don't know. That might be a little hard."
Just a cute daughter-in-law, I don't even like to say it, but Master Erica seems to do the same. Well, I was chopping up Terra all by myself, so that's what I'm talking about...
"On the contrary, if Courta Han talks to Erica about everything, crying... and it's getting sweet, what do you say?
……
……
"..."
"Huh?"
"… are you happy…… I think…"
……
"Don't be a nuisance! 'Cause it's that coata, right? You think it's a little cute that Coata, who does everything pale by herself, is just sweet on me!
"Oh, my God. Oh, my God, that's cute."
"Maria!"
Yes, yes, I won't say anymore.
"Please don't make too much fun of Erica, Maria"
"Mr. Emili."
There's no reason I'm making fun of you... but what, great cutie.
"That's what I'm making fun of."
"... Emily. I'm glad you're sheltering me, but what if you 'don't tease' the Lord?
"... they have a thing called 'Lemon Tea' that floats lemons on tea in Master Courta's hometown. Would you mind?
"Emily!"
Emily shows me the sliced lemon here, with a slightly cluttered deception. No, Mr. Emily? What do we say, yeah?
"... I don't mind"
"Emily!"
... I think the Lord is in a mess...
- Hmm?
"... Emily?
"Yes?"
"Has Emily been talking about Coata Han for a long time," Dear Coata "? If I remember us correctly, surely you didn't say 'Matsuyo-sama'?
"Right."
"... what? It was a change of heart, too?
Return our questions with a smile that makes you fall in love. What, that face. Falling in love?
"... let's keep it a secret"
"Why not? Tell me."
"Please don't."
For once, you'd say good women have a lot of secrets, wouldn't you? and turns an earlier smile into a tear-eyed smile, Emily smiling here.
"... Really, Emily?
"... Dear Erica?
"Um... you admire Coata?
"What, Erica? Are you jealous?"
"No, I'm not!
I didn't say that.
"Either that or Emily. I thought you hated Coata. No, I'm glad to see that change of heart... that..."
That's what I said, Erica, who looks a little like a bum...... don't be shy ~.
"Here, Emily. I don't know if I like it or dislike it or anything direct. Yeah, but what do you think about Coata Han? Let me hear this."
You want me to take a dump around here? Dear Erica... Well, I'm not just jealous, but I'm interested in Emily's sex affair as a pure interest, but it's also bad to be forced to listen to things I don't want to say.
"Is this about Kota..."
Say that, stare at the hollow as you often think.
"Lemon, is it?
I'll show you one unsliced lemon in my hand, which I left on top of the silver.
"... Lemon?
"The outer skin is thick, I can't tell inside without cutting and looking"
… complete the process. It's odd to say, shall we?
"Sometimes it looks cold because you don't express your true intentions, and because you get all sorts of things done yourself, it's difficult for you to look like a secrecy..."
Still, the inside of that thick skin is packed with soft pulp.
"... He's kind, Mr. Coata."
"... that's right"
... What, that face! That's my face when I'm absolutely in love!
"... ho, but Emily. Is lemon sour?
"Right."
"Look, Coata Han is sour, and when you eat the contents, it makes you look bitter. People or what?
Trying to make fun of me, I just asked us a little mean.
"Sure, lemons are sour. But do you feel that sourness is' spicy 'or' pleasant '... don't you think it's each person?
"... does Emily feel comfortable?
Show me a prettier, more swinging smile than earlier, as if it were nothing.
"That's... the maiden's, it's a secret"
... Ah, already! That's cute, dude!
