The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Parsena Frontier Uncle Territory.

It is a nation called 'heterogeneous', even though it receives a hereditary borderline. Even the Lyme City National Alliance, which receives a ruler who is not even a hereditary known as the consul, is known as the "orphan of the Flame Empire" in the mainstream Orkena. It is called heterogeneity for one reason, because the 'founder' Grace of the Parsena border uncle bought the title with gold.

Unless it is an extraordinarily privileged territory, every aristocratic territory has more or less a deficit, but Parsena, which at the time was only one territory of the kingdom of Flame, put a ring to it, and was devastatingly devoid of gold. Borrowings from the Kingdom of Flame became astronomical amounts and were called to joke: 'Debt enough that the road from Parsena to Flame could be paved with white gold coins'. Even though it takes two days in a high-speed carriage. Count Parsena of Time troubled me. After worrying about the troubles and sparing them while sleeping, I come up with a solution that no one at the time could think of. I sold the title to Grace, a Solvanian merchant who called it "The Vault of the Continent of Orkena".

Humans, when you can have money, the next thing you know, you want honor. Grace rode the words of Count Parsena, who had enough gold to roar, but was a civilian and a civilian, but licked spicy acid for it. Still, it was not in the form of the pride of the aristocracy that left the Count of Parsena as much as the dirt on his nails, or, hardly, of the sale in 'money', but in the form of welcoming him as his successor... well, in fact, the same thing. Naturally, the aristocrats during Flame turned their eyes of condemnation to Parsena and a further gaze of contempt to the Flame royal family who approved it. He said, 'Why should we recognize the Solvanians as part of our proud Flame nobility?'

The kingdom, which was turned to the eye of condemnation, also had the kitchen circumstances of the kingdom. Parsena's debt, which was a non-performing loan, is repaid once and for all. Whatever the nobles say, their nostalgia doesn't hurt at all. In fact, it was myself who was particularly involved in the loss, and honestly, without the gaze around me, I wanted to raise my hands and welcome them. The Royal Government, swayed by swings between nostalgia and reputation, makes one decision.

"Grants the succession to Grace of the Count of Parsena and all the rights and property attached thereto. But it's not up to you to name the Flame nobleman."

If you interpret it, it is a euphemistic independent approval: 'I will do a territory called Parsena, but I will not admit that you are a part of us, please do it on your own'. As a kingdom, we will be transferring a part of our territory… until now it is scattered, gold heartless and plagued Parsena territory. I don't have to lose it.

The nobles also lowered their drinks to this decision. Externally, the kingdom embraced the claim of the nobility and defended the pride of the Flame nobility until it ceded territory… 'The kingdom does not scorn our nobility' was sufficient for their pride and, above all, for the effect of their appearance on other nations.

Even taking it to Grace, who will inherit the title, this decision is most welcome. Precisely, you were going to be a nobleman, but if you open the lid and look, you're the head of state. It is rather gratifying to be freed from the chains of Flame, from him who is a Solvanian and has no more edge than business or attachment to the Kingdom of Flame. "I was a merchant until yesterday, and from tomorrow on, I'm like a king, right? 'Grace, who received the' insulation 'declaration from Flame, is supposedly left behind, but probably a genuine sentiment.

Incidentally, the title of Parsena's namesake 'Borderline Uncle' is not a Borderline Uncle that is assumed to have the meaning of Marquis vulgarly. Located almost in the centre of the continent of Orkena, adjacent to the Kingdom of Larchia, the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Solvania, and on the streets of Orkena, Parsena is a 'political frontier' that, although not geographically at all a frontier, does not belong to any country, and in the name of the Parsena 'kingdom', consideration is given to each royal family of Orkena, which is more hustling than the Flame nobility.

"So Parsena is only a little bit special among the continents of Orkena. Unlike other countries, they hardly ever show up on the political scene. I am also now Grace III Borderline Uncle... well, maybe I saw you at my birthday party once."

Still, how precious is that? Off his gaze from Erica, Kota shifts his gaze to the river in front of him, the Parsena River.

"By the way, now we're in a region called the North District of Parsena. It's a compartment where all of Parsena's residential, commercial and political centers come together. And across the river."

Emily, who spoke after Erica, points across the river.

"... Parsena South. It's the capital of pleasure and desire, which the Orkena human being definitely refers to there when it comes to Parsena."

That's what I said, Emily with a slightly luscious grin. The figure is quite glossy like an adult woman dragging a beginner boy down the path of evil... however, it is.

"... excuse me. How many questions do you want to ask?

"I wonder what?

"Well... why are we in Parsena?

It is the most questionable. "Tomorrow, I'm going out for a little while," Erica told me. Hota is also Hota, but when I get off the carriage, it's an adult theme park in front of me. It's more ridiculous not to question it.

"What does that mean?

"Oh? That's settled."

To that question, put your left hand on your hips and point your pinned and stretched index finger at Kota.

"Vacation, man!

... That seems to be the case.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

A week before Kota shouted dissatisfaction in the heart of Parsena, with Maria as its initiator, the "Union of Rondo de Terra Merchants", a mutual aid organization of each Chamber of Commerce with branches in Terra, was inaugurated.

At the same time as each proposal, such as sharing information between the Chambers of Commerce and supplying the contact points of the Chambers of Commerce as alternative stores, half of the shares issued by Port Development Co., Ltd. and half a million pieces of white gold will also be approved for subscription.

Combined with the remaining half a million pieces subscribed in the name of the Duke of Terra, Port Development Corporation, which was subscribed for all of the issued shares, received Courta Matussillo as CEO and Maria Searches as vice president and began operating on the same date. At nearly 670,000 white gold coins, nearly 70% of the one million white gold coins that are the capital, order the Harbor Development Corporation company house, the port facility and the facilities incidental to it from the Merchants Union. Merchants' unions responded to this by proportioning each chamber of commerce participating in the union according to its investment ratio, and construction could proceed at a rapid pitch... Well, port development is a huge infrastructure. It's not something you can do today and tomorrow.

"Didn't I tell you to go out for a little while?

"No, I did hear..."

Plus, I paid half a million pieces of white gold pretty hard. There's no money left in the safe. There is no way that we can strike new policies or anything other than the lack of financial resources. There are some prospects for projects in progress, and Maria has partitioned them for port development... In short, we could only afford a little. Mostly, to Hota.

"Like when I was on my way to Solvania, I followed you wondering if you had any work to do... vacation, is it?"

Erica sighs heavily with her right hand stretched out against her forehead at Kota, who makes the tannic surface.

"How much do you like your job, you?"

"No, it's not like I like my job."

"Coata, you're a little overworked. Sometimes if you don't stretch your wings and slow down, you won't have a body, will you?

"... Really?

"That's right."

If you think back, yes. From the change of policy from agriculture to commercial focus, to the proposed urban plan for the acquisition of land for the establishment of commercial zones, to the attraction and compromise of each chamber of commerce, to the anti-counterfeiting measures and the manufacture and issuance of extradition deeds, and, at the end of the day, from diplomacy with the Kingdom of Solvania, it is now the establishment of the Corporation. Kota came to Terra and hit all this policy. Well, I don't have to worry about Erica. I'm worried.

"It's not, is it? I'm letting you slow down in the morning, and I'm letting you rest early at night. You can have a good meal at noon, and you're giving me two days off every seven days, right? You're going to be punished for working too hard."

It's nothing in a ho tai way. Rather, it is even less than when I was a banker in Japan in terms of the total amount of work.

"... what terrible environment did you work in over there?

"No, not in a terrible workplace."

Banks are the industries in which they operate within the law. Real estate registration laws are mandatory if banks themselves are to be tied up, bills and cheques are to be handled, or land is to be secured, and if investment trusts and stocks are to be sold, it is the turn of the Financial Instruments Sale Act and the Financial Instruments Exchange Act, and if the company is crushed, it will be under the care of the Civil Rehabilitation Act or the Corporate Reorganization Act. And working within the law means that it is necessary to handle affairs in accordance with the law... The point is that banking is terribly difficult, complicated, and laborious. If you tell me to write a single document, 'If you don't write one letter, you lose hundreds of millions of units of real life, so don't ever get me wrong,' everyone gets nervous, and naturally, it takes time to finish one job. You change your eyes on one document and many people spend days looking at it. I don't care how much time I have.

This is supplemented by more detailed provisions such as the bank's own rules, for example, one judge at this position in this slip, a second judge at this slip, but the first one is submitted to headquarters without pressing the judge, etc., and a large batten is applied if it is not in line with its administrative provisions. Before the computer became popular, there were nearly twenty books in the prescribed set of thicknesses without all the books of the Sixth Law, and there were stories like jokes that the prescribed set of tables of contents alone would be a single book.

Naturally, if you remember the administrative policy, it's not over. The administrative provisions that will be a huge amount, so to speak, 'remember and take for granted', it is the original business of the bank to make more money than it is to be a for-profit company… If it is not about brokerage companies, it will also come down to bankers quite harsh norms. The amount of loans to the company, the amount of investment trusts and government bonds sold, time deposit collections, the number of credit card wins issued by affiliates, and revenues from trendy investment banking. Of course, specialized knowledge is needed for each product, and the more products handled, the more knowledge you will naturally remember. I don't know, but they say sell it, so please buy this investment trust, then it is self-evident that no one should buy it. And bankers who can't contribute to the proceeds will be relentlessly hoisted... but this is quite the 'sickness'. Whatever it is, they continue to curse us from after eight o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock in the night, and in some cases even in the morning, from the people we are with. It would be abnormal not to get sick. If you don't want to be sick, you have two choices, you have to improve your grades or you have to quit.

……

"Duh, what's up, Coata? Something wrong with your complexion?

……

"Cotta?

"... Yes, no! It's nothing, right? Uh, was it a vacation? Isn't that nice! Yes! Sometimes you need a break, yes!

Kota is a man of effort. I'm not a clever person enough to do anything smart from the start, but the kind that does things one by one over and over again until I'm foolish. Naturally, my boss cursed me scatterly in my first year of entry, when the iterations had not followed. It also depends on the boss, but generally the place called the bank is a strong workplace of a kind of sports club system called 'what the boss says is hi or yes', and it is also disastrous that Hota's direct boss was such a type of person... well, it is a kind of trauma, Hota's.

"... thinking about it, I'm blessed right now"

It's two days off, and there's a lunch break. Considering that I woke up at 5: 00 in the morning, I'm sleeping quite slowly now, and I don't have any civilized instruments such as fluorescent lamps, so if the sun goes down at night, it's mostly shopping. Responsible work is responsible work, but one way or another it is positive work, and responsible work is only motivational in the first place and not a negative factor. There are no fine laws or provisions to remember. If you think about it carefully, it is also a workplace equal to heaven for Kota.

"... what?

"... what is it? Erica, alternate between your face and mine."

"... no"

... In addition, employers and colleagues are kind and beautiful. Really, if you complain, you'll be punished.

"... okay. As I said the other day, we also need to renovate the mansion. I'm not going to be in Parsena for the whole renovation period on the rocks."

Isn't that good, like, a couple of days? and return it to Erica, who comes to inquire, with the utmost consent. Well, things like employee travel, is this part of the job, and Kota breaks it off. Makes, is a company animal.

"But... why Parsena? Wouldn't it be better in Terra territory?

"Once you're completely separated from your job, you need to take your time off... aren't you? You're not gonna rest, are you? If you're resting in the realm, you'll find a job."

"... Erica, what do you think of me?

"I think you're stupid."

Work idiot. Rather, work geek.

"And for the sake of saying… three days from today, forget all about your work and enjoy your first glance! Don't worry about the money, eat whatever you want and play whatever you want!

Is it a travel tense, rarely! Erica and Emily stick their right arm up all the time. My gaze hurts because I do it in the middle of a fairly crowded round trip.

"Quit, I'm embarrassed! Please say something from Sonia too!

……

"Mr. Sonia?

"... Huh? Oh, oh? Did they say anything, Coata?

"No... Um, are you okay?

"What, Sonia? You're not well, are you? Are you tired?

"Oh, no... I'm not..."

"Well... Parsena is an 'adult' city? It might not be fun for Sonia, huh?

……

"... Sonia?

Sometimes it's like, "Who's the kid? 'What an objection, but not without. I was uncomfortable with the feeling of being different from everything else, and Erica gave me a surprise look.

"What's really going on?

"No... nothing! Come on, Coata! I've never seen the city of Parsena before! Please guide me!

"No, it's my first time, too. What?

"Escorting women in your first city is your role!

"Oh, Sonia! Hey, you're stuck too close to the coater! Get away!"

"Erica, I don't have the guts to tell you that."

"Sonia!"

Just a little bit to Sonia back at all times...... even though I feel just a little uncomfortable.

"... well, okay"

Point it out one thing at a time, and don't let the atmosphere get any worse. Remind me if I should pay a little attention and watch over it.

"Did you say something, Coata?

"... I said have fun with your eyes."

Hota smiled as she flew her gaze across the city of Parsena, which stretched out in front of her.
