The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

- Hotel Larchia.

Headquartered in Larchia, King Flame's capital, it is a leading established luxury hotel group with a history of three hundred years of existence.

There are roughly two "for sale" in Hotel Larchia. One is that you can taste the treatment of royal aristocracy, a service up to a kind of excess. Customers are not gods, and the attitude of entertaining kings is popular not only with Flame, but also with dignitaries from other countries. Especially among merchants flying around the world, there's even a joke that when it comes to "hotels and larchias," it's only for one person.

The other is the sign for "The Flame Royals".

In fact, the problem, the outing of the Flame Royal is out-of-the-box. Originally a 'garden' continent of Orkena, the national event also took place. With the exception of some countries, no country is basically superficially unhappy with the visit of the Flame royal family. but naturally if it is also an outing, the Kingsguard knight is in the jar, which is not translated to guarding in the royal castle, which takes full vigilance. Strict security is needed more than ever... If we put such a system of protection on the boulder up to the hotel where we are staying, it is also possible that we can now make the obsession of 'Can't trust our country'. It's the same thing that made you fortunate to be within Flame, no, it's worse in nature. No matter how lightly you estimate it, you won't feel good.

I want to build a complete security posture, but I don't want to cause a deterioration in my relationship. It was Hotel Larchia who, in some ways, gave the answer to this issue, which is disobedient. Hotel Larchia, with branches and identical services not only in the major cities within the Kingdom of Flame, but also in the capitals and major cities of all countries of the world, with plenty of sequilities. If this hotel is Flame Capital, they won't just complain or even thank you for taking a strict security system. The thoughts of the royal and king's palaces, who struggle to ensure the safety of their places of stay, and the thoughts of Hotel Larchia, who was aiming to acquire 'Uemu' customers, coincide beautifully. In the two hundred and fifty years since I received the sign of the royal family in the fiftieth year of its existence, I have continued to put up that sign.

"Hotel Larchia is a prestigious place among the prestigious. It's not just Flame, it's a hotel where people all over Orkena want to stay for once."

Boulevard stretches in a straight line north of the Royal Castle. At the end of that boulevard, Shion, who stopped in front of a five-story beautiful building, commonly known as the 'Larchia Stop', which became a T-shaped road, spoke so and swung back to Kota beside him.

"And this is its' Hotel Larchia '. Three hundred years old main building, what do you say? It's a little thing, isn't it?

"Yeah, well."

Five stories and the corresponding height are not the highest in Larchia. It's much smaller in size than the Royal Castle of Larchia, and there's nothing decorative about it that has done everything in its luxury. One way or another, it's primitive.

"... right. I won't deny it."

Nonetheless, the building in front of Kota gives an overwhelmingly 'majestic' impression. Every stone that has not fallen, every stone that has been piled up, is polished as far as the mind is concerned. That space combines majesty as if it were a kind of temple. It's just a commercial establishment.

"... all humans who come to the main building of Hotel Larchia will be like you, Courta. Regardless, Hotel Larchia is cleaned as beautifully as any branch and has a system of welcoming customers, but the main building is still unique. Everyone who works here loves Hotel Larchia and works with pride. I don't know if it's still air... but I can't be clever."

"No, I know what you're saying."

That being said, Hota glanced at the building in front of him again and turned that gaze to Theon.

"... so why am I here?

◆◇◆◇◆◇

Haota's broken... There may be a saying, but anyway, it was "Aleia's Legacy" called to heaven in an unfortunate accident, but after a detailed investigation by Aria, it was found that it was apparently possible to repair it.

"If you fix the inside of this room, you may be able to fix it" is Aria's valve.

To Aria's words Kota relieved herself from the bottom of her heart and stroked her chest down. What an important cultural heritage. Whatever the history, it was Kota who made the stop. It is because Kota's Kota is too thick to say 'me, I'm not warm'. I bowed my head deeply to Aria and had a difficulty with Kota, who had asked me to fix it and thought it was settled. No matter, it's Scion.

Says, 'Things are an equivalent exchange. If you want me to fix Aleia's legacy, drink one of these demands.'

Kota disagreed more with this than he did with the former, and Aria disagreed greatly. It was caused in the first place by Aria taking her foot into the blood bucket and pushing down Haota, and even that blood bucket, if you correct the original, was in Zion's body... it erupted out of her nose. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever thinks of Kota has nothing to do with it, and that it is either Aria's or Zion's fault... nevertheless he forcefully passes his opinion, so Zion is Zion.

"As I said earlier, Hotel Larchia is a prestige among the prestigious. An earthly paradise where people from all over the world admire and say they want to stay for once"

But.

"The hotel Larchia is now in danger"

"Crisis?"

"It's dangerous, the management."

……

"Hotel Larchia boasts superb formats, traditions and services… but at the same time, the prices are superb"

"Well... I guess so"

So-called "high" is a kind of status. It is that principle of an example in which just one 'tag' arrives there and one or both digits bounce, even if it is of the same material, of the same shape. Naturally, this is not the tag bill. I'm talking about the brand image.

"There is also the effect of example futures trading, with few losses for participating nobles and chambers of commerce. Plus the war between Lyme and Larchia. The branches in those two countries have large deficits and even closed."

"Really? I have a rather lucrative image..."

The Chamber of Commerce, if you say it in modern Japan, says' trading company 'goes anywhere in the world. conflict, political instability, civil war, war zones with other countries. They eat and greedily eat if there is a commercial spring there. Although I don't feel that the influx is significant.

"Coata is right. You don't have to leave until" Battle Area, "" War Area "is a man of the Chamber of Commerce who walks wide with a sense of walking. Human, though."

Take a breath.

"Often, it's the lower end of the human race that goes there. At least you have enough financial resources to stay at the Hotel Larchia and... a bad way of saying it but few people are 'worth it'"

"Value?"

"Hotel Larchia is a hotel group with branches all over the world. Few of the world's dignitaries love Hotel Larchia."

"... Oh, Cheng Cheng"

"'Hotel Larchia must not be set up with any act of combat' is an implicit rule. Weird story is, there's a good chance that staying at Hotel Larchia, a private company, will only save your life, rather than being at the source of the Flame Diplomatic Service. Good or bad."

"No one is' worth 'enough to stay in Hotel Larchia until the Chamber of Commerce has bothered to pay for it?

"I don't know how you feel, but don't look like you don't like it. It's not what I think."

"You price your life, the Chamber of Commerce."

"Besides, you seem to be a big seller"

"People give birth to gold."

"Even gold gives birth to gold. Besides, I'm not complaining, I'm not dissatisfied, I'm not hungry. Well, this story is good. It's gonna be a parallel line, and you're gonna be in a bad mood."

With that said, I flaunt my shoulders and glance at the main building of Hotel Larchia.

"The general manager of the main building here is a man of my knowledge. Instead of talking to you the other day...... that's stupid. What are you. I'm here to talk about stupidity. I'd like to do something about it, but I'm not a professional in management and economics."

That's why I turn my gaze to Coata that I brought you here.

"I was wondering if you'd come up with any good ideas for rebuilding Terra. What do you say?"

"... no, on the boulder. That would be a good place to be for the first time"

Off sight of Scion, Courta also gives sight to Hotel Larchia. Seeing it again after hearing the story from Zion, it is somewhat strange to see it in disguise.

"Well... no, I know you'll be in trouble even if you say that all of a sudden. I'm sorry, but... can you just listen to me?

Scion like that to plead with the uppermost. Kota also responds to the trick with his own consent.

"No, I don't mind talking about it... is that good? I don't think that's such a good idea to come up with, like, a one-shot reversal, do you?

"I don't mind. Sometimes new perspectives are created by asking or listening to your opinions. Thank you, Coata."

"Equivalent exchange, so be it. Don't worry about it, okay?

"... then let's keep it sweet for the words. Don't worry, Aria will fix it."

"You're very trusted, Mr. Aria."

"Sort of. I'm a genius."

Like nothing, just a little bit of Scion like that... really just a little bit, Kota's heart hurts.

"Can I ask you something?

"If you can answer that."

"Um... Mr. Theon... aren't you jealous or something?

"Jealous?"

Scion with a decent face in Kota's words.

"... Aria would be a genius. We just met the other day and I think you're a genius."

"All I can say is that God loves you, Aria."

"By contrast, Mr. Theon, are you..."

Just a little, sayin '.

"... not a genius"

"... don't be so clear, you are. Mind your own business."

"Sorry, no offense"

"I know that..."

- One more sigh.

"... well, I've certainly never thought of myself as a genius. Don't be afraid of misunderstandings, I think you're only a little better at making heads than people, and your desire to know things is stronger than people's, and you're proud to be moving towards it"

Say that, just wander your gaze a little hollow.

"... on top of that, if 'genius' asks me if I'm jealous of 'aria', the answer would be 'no'"

"Is that because Mr. Aria is my sister?

"I wonder how to put it"

That's what I said, smile bitterly.

"... Aria and I are nine years apart"

"Yes."

"Nine years after I was born, I wasn't my sister."

It's obvious, but laugh.

"Aria has been a 'sister' since she was born, but not mine. Speaking of nine years old, I have a self, and to some extent, I'll be able to do my own thing. I was honestly excited about the fact that I had a sister."

……

"Then I'm going to have refined whether I'm a 'sister' or not. It wasn't my sister. I've been trying to be my sister."

Aside from whether it's successful or not, I smile bitterly again.

"... so to Aria, I don't remember being jealous of 'my sister'. I want my beloved sister to succeed more than anyone else. My little sister wants to be smiling and be smiling more than anyone else."

……

"So... oh yeah. I guess I can't help but think Aria's cute and cute."

"Fine, you're my sister"

"Not really."

Say that, laugh lightly.

"... Aria can read Ancient Orkena"

"... did you know?

"Oh, my God, Coata knew that, too"

"I knew, or..."

It's almost like being trapped.

"Hmm? Fair enough. Aria can read Ancient Orkena and keep it to herself. Why do you think that is?

"It's..."

"'If I told you I could read Ancient Orkena, your sister would hate me'"

"... right. Probably not far away without hitting it."

"There's no reason why I don't like Aria."

Smile lonely.

"I'm not asking you to talk to me about anything... but I still have a little 'kuru' to hide."

"It is!

"Oh, I know how Aria feels, too. I know... well, I wouldn't have a choice. It's my sister's fault."

Shoulder-flagging Scion.

"... that's why I don't remember being jealous of Aria."

"... but isn't that because Aria is your 'sister'?

"What do you mean?

"If there was another 'genius' that wasn't Aria... wouldn't you be jealous, Mr. Scion?

To Kota's inquiry, Theon glances at Majesty and Kota with an eyebrow. I don't know what to say...

"... that's unusual. The only thing Coata's going to ask you is to stick it in there."

Yes, 'rare'.

Theon and Hota have never been together long... rather than really short.

"... is it?

"Well, it's my own imagination. I thought you were a little paler."

Nonetheless, today's Hota looks odd to Theon. Whatever, I'm laughing and laughing 'well, I can't help it' even though I've been summoned on my own. That's someone else's … and that's how I met him and tried to hear about Zion for a few days.

"... I have a lot to think about."

"Wow. Would you like to hear it?

Sion looks intrigued to see Haota. On that gaze, he cheeked slightly uncomfortably, and Kota opened his mouth.

"... Somehow, Mr. Zion and I felt alike"

"... Hmm"

"I'm not a very talented person myself. One way or the other, it's the kind of thing I've managed to do with my efforts."

"That's not the human language that developed Terra." Demon King, "was it?

"Please don't tear it up. Besides, anyone can do it."

"The economy is a gatekeeper... wouldn't that happen?

"No. In the end, I just brought what I could in 'The Other World'. What was it...... oh yeah, it's the one called 'Cheat'. I cheated, I cheated."

"Cheats, or... I think it's still amazing enough..."

That's what I said, flying my gaze into the hollow again.

"So... let's hear the opposite, Coata. Are you jealous of 'genius'?

"... don't you tell Flame's school not to return questions?

"Don't tear it up."

Sigh, one.

"I'm giving up."

……

"This is by no means a denial of effort. I think if you make an effort, you will be rewarded eventually. But."

But that's it.

"An overwhelming talent... it's pointless to work in front of a man with a talent loved by heaven"

Is that what Aria said?

An overwhelming, 'understandable' talent.

In front of her is an area where ordinary people such as Theon and Hota can't trace to the end, no matter how hard they try and do their best.

"... so I am 'giving up'"

……

"I don't have a lot of talent, I don't have a lot of power, I don't have anything to be very proud of..."

... from the beginning, I 'give up' everything.

"... jealousy, I can't remember."

Look at the birds flying in the sky. 'Why can't I fly,' just as the earthdragons in the ground don't remember being jealous.

"The living dimension is different, 'genius' and I am."

"... Hmm"

Hearing Kota's monologue, Theon meditated on putting his hand on his chin and thinking about something.

"… the University of Larchia is the highest school in the Kingdom of Flame"

"... Mr. Scion?

"Since it was originally an imperial university, the University of Larchia is home to a variety of students, not only from Flame, but also from countries throughout Orkena. Aria is almost out of standard... but I still think we've met a lot of people commonly known as' geniuses'."

……

"But I've never been jealous of them. Corta, you said the dimensions of life are different. It is true that Aria and I have different dimensions... what we see will be different. Regardless, I understand what Cota is saying. If you can do it that way, don't think so. But that's not 'jealousy'. Right, if you insist..."

"Vision," he said.

"How about... hey?

"Oh, genius, even if you ever admire them, you don't envy them, you don't keep them away."

……

"If the geniuses are looking down from a far higher place with that talent loved by heaven, I ascend to the heights of the geniuses by producing a wing called effort, to the talent given to me. If there's a wall there, we'll try to get over it. Whatever, I admire you."

"It's..."

"Like Coata said, it might be a good idea to give up. If it's difficult for the wall in front of you to run up, it's not a bad way to avoid it. Even if we don't force ourselves over that wall, there may be a path beside us, behind us, in the basement. In the first place, I don't even know if that path is the right one. The idea... to abandon the idea of 'looking for other paths' and just try to get through the difficulties in front of you with just your efforts... maybe the laziest way"

That's what I said, one bitter laugh.

But that's the way of life, Theon Baumgarden.

……

"... Wasn't that helpful?

"... no"

Kota has one bitter laugh to match Shion.

"... I've found that I think too differently to be a guide at all."

"Right."

To Kota's words, Theon also deepened his bitter laughter.

"That's good. Me and Coata, there are things we can see because we don't think the same way."

That said, once again Theon turned his gaze to Hotel Larchia.

"... the general manager here is the type, like me, to face the challenge. Well, he came to me crying because he was shattered in the face."

So I'm expecting a little bit from Coata's "point of view," he said.

"I hope it meets your expectations"

"Oh, I hope so"

"Less excessive expectations are a bit...... oh yeah. By the way, how do you know the general manager here?

"He's a college alumni. A typical 'brilliant' type if you want to borrow the words… the point is, you're an ordinary person."

"... that's a lot of words"

"Coata said that, didn't she?

"I'm not that far... Alumni, are you still young?

"Twenty-six...... seven more, huh? Same age. It would be helpful if you could debate whether Twenty-seven is young next time."

"I'm not going to."

Even Kota is twenty-six. Young man, what they call him, but he's still going to be young himself.

"At that young age, are you the general manager of the main building of the prestigious hotel group? Must be pretty good."

"Excellence is excellence. At least the paper test score was good. But Hotel Larchia isn't cheap enough to be general manager just because you're good."

"And then... the edge, is it?

"Yes, but... this is quite a hassle."

"Trouble?"

"Well, tell me directly from the person there. It's not where I speak, it's not a good question for me to speak."

With that said, Theon pushed the door open.

"... would you please come home"

"Why not! I just got here! Do nothing 'yet' this time!

"We in Hotel Larchia are starting to welcome back men who speak Sorbanian and who seem to have bad femininity... evil"

"Me! That, pinpoint me! It's not like I have a bad feminine habit after all!

"I'm sorry, it's a little more noisy than that... shall I call you a guard?

"How troublesome you treat your customers!

"... customers? Well, where are the customers?

"Feel bad!

"Well, then salt...... has to go to the kitchen. It's a hassle, but should we go get it?"

"You're gonna sprinkle it! Elle, come on, come on!

"Come on, the exit is that way"

What I heard the moment I went in was the Solvanian dialect. Moreover, it is a contention.

"... uh"

Things like arguing at the front desk of a so-called 'luxury hotel'... well, not first. Moreover, the content of the conversation and the attitude of the clerk just seem to be incited by the humans on the hotel side, no matter where they come from. I wonder if it's really a luxury hotel, and I turn my gaze to Scion like I'm in trouble.

……

Zion directed, looking up to heaven with his hands on his forehead. Apparently, this situation was unexpected even when taken to Zion.

"... I'm sorry, Coata. Hey, El! Velour!"

To Zion's words, both the customer and the clerk turn this way - Kota takes a breath.

Men are also men. A flattering look with an even look. It would be the first man a woman could see if she walked down the road. but that's not the one where Kota took his breath.

Is his age a little lower than that of Kota? Dark hair stretched up to the waist sparkles as if it were a gem for how to get it.

If asked, "Write the placement of the ideal woman's face parts," the ideally placed face parts, so much so that perhaps this is the only correct answer.

But above all, it's those eyes that draw attention. Unusual in Orkena, obsidian pink black eyes. In its face, which tends to be an eye, but remains young, even the eye lives as an accent.

- The point is, she's a beautiful girl. That's flying, too.

"... Scion? Theon or not! I don't know, in this place!

"Master Theon? How was it exchanged?

With a decent look on his face, the two of them turn to Theon while questioning the heterophony. As they arrived here, Theon opened his mouth to a sigh of sigh.

"... even if it's the front desk of Hotel Larchia, I didn't think we'd all be able to see the sights. Especially, El. I'm glad you didn't have any other guests, but don't do anything to discredit Hotel Larchia."

"... sorry"

"Next Velour. You, too."

"No, wait a minute! Me, just trying to check in normally? Then Elle..."

"... May flies because you're loud, you are"

"- He came out of nowhere and handled it in a mess!

"Anyway! I have someone with me today. Don't be too ashamed."

To the words of Zion, the two turn their gaze to Kota.

"... let me introduce you, Coata. This Solvanian-speaking man, this is Velour Search. Along with us at the University of Larchia, he is now the successor to the commercial Searching Chamber of Commerce in Solvania."

"The Searching Chamber of Commerce...... is Maria's?

Hota's words move a pique velour brow.

"... do you know about Maria?

"Yes. Thank you for your help at Terra"

"... heh. At Terra. Theon, you said something about yourself earlier. Look, could it be... that you're the" Demon King ", Mr. Courta Matussillo?

"... 'Demon King' is overstated, yes. My name is Coata Matussillo. Maria always took care of me at Terra."

"Heh! You're the example of" Kota Han "! No, thanks! Maria will always take care of you in Terra! I am Maria's brother and my name is Velour Search! Thank you in the future!

"Oh, yeah, yeah. Welcome, thank you!

Suddenly he held his hand friendly and shook it up and down with the boom Velour. Kouta, who has not been able to follow him, will remain.

"Velour, it's time to get your hands off me. Coata will be in trouble. Coata, this woman is Elise Burkhardt, commonly known as El. She's the daughter of the current chairman of Hotel Larchia."

"My name is Elise Burkhardt. Later, get to know each other."

I don't pick the edge of my skirt properly, and the woman who lowers her head, Kota is also attached and lowers her head... I notice.

"Uh... Mr. Scion?

"What?

"The young lady of the chairman of Hotel Larchia..."

"Oh, that's a mistake. She's not the one we have business with."

In Theon's words, the girl gives a slightly annoying look.

"... does that mean I have no business, Master Theon?"

"That's not what I meant... this time it's a different case. Klaus -"

"Scion! Scion then... what, velour? What's wrong with Velour?

Unexpectedly, a voice calling from behind.

"... oh, you talk fast"

Ahead of the gaze of Kota, who turned around.

"Hey, Theon, Velour! Especially Velour. Long time no see! Cheer up."

Age is about the same as Kota. Compared to Velour, it's probably the first time a man falls, but still the soft smile on his eyes and mouth is like reassuring the watcher, such a smile.

"- Uh, Theon? You..."

"Klaus Burkhardt, our classmate who works as general manager of the Hotel Larchia main building. Klaus, this is Kota Matussillo. You've heard about it, too, haven't you? What about Terra?"

"... Mr. Courta Matussillo... oh, that famous! Terra's 'Demon King'!

"... it would be helpful if you quit calling me that."

"This is rude. I'll be careful in the future. But... with all due respect, Mr. Coata?

Coata also grips bitterly at Klaus, who reaches out a smiling hand.

"Shall I say thank you for your consideration?

"Make sure you do."

Two people smiling quietly as they let go of their connected hands.

"... so? Theon, what's going on?

"You came here the other day to say foolishness, Klaus"

"Stupid...... oh, alle?

"Yes, it's me. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with economics or management. So."

That's what I said, pulling Kota's arm all the time.

"I brought him here."

"... what?

"That's why I brought in people who might be familiar with the economy and management."

Kouta and Klaus looked at Shion, who kept his chest up to say it would be awesome.

"... uh, mr. Scion? I'm sorry to bother you."

"What's up?

"Well... did you tell Mr. Klaus that you were bringing me here?

"Talk? Didn't go through with it?

……

……

"Hey, what, you two get such a subtle look on your face"

"... Scion"

"... mr. Scion"

We sigh together and see Scion with the eyes of the unfortunate child.

"Hey, what those eyes!

Ignoring the panicking Scion, Kota looks sorry and turns his gaze to Klaus.

"... uh, Mr. Klaus. I'm sorry..."

"No, I'm sorry I didn't stop at Theon"

"I'll leave you to not hear this story..."

"Oh, I don't mind. Besides, I'm more of a survivor. If you're here, you can expect some advice, right?

"I'm not sure I can live up to expectations."

"This is humility."

"No, you're serious, aren't you?

"Hey, wait a minute! What the fuck? What the fuck!

Kota sighs deeply and deeply at the noisy Scion.

"... you know, Mr. Scion"

"What?

Take a breath.

"... without consent, perplexing about the management of people's companies... hey, I wonder?

".................. ah"

Hota and Klaus gazed again and sighed deeply and deeply at Zion, who finally realized or paled his face after a proper time.
