The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Lesson 44: To one daughter, seven son-in-laws

The office of the general manager of the Hotel Larchia main building was engulfed with enthusiasm.

"Velour!"

"I know! I'll do the stuffing on the terms. If you have any suggestions from the Hotel Larchia side, why don't you put them together as soon as possible!

"Oh! What about Mr. Coata?

"If my plan is approved, I will make a summary of how much this plan will contribute to Hotel Larchia. Will we need to estimate the occupancy rate of the rooms and the revenue associated with it? If you just want to 'go through' the plan, you can make a diagonally oriented plan...... anyway. Create a revenue and expenditure plan with attached evidence and feet on the ground."

"Is it okay if I leave that to you?

"I am in charge of aggregating the data. Mr. Velour?"

"Materials about Yuna's number of customers? Yuna gave it to me, so if you judge me, I'll fly."

"Thank you"

"What other materials do you need?

"In addition, is... well, can you tell me the average merchant's income for someone about the age of Mr. Velour in Kato?

"Income? Sora, yeah... why?

"It's because of some realistic unit pricing. Can't be too expensive or too cheap, can you?

"Oh, Cheng Cheng. Okay, I'll figure it out later!

The three of us surround the office room, which is never narrow, with a large round table that makes it visually narrow, and stick our heads together. It is Klaus, Velour, and Kota.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have tea in here. Why don't you take a little break?

Keep a basin with three cups on it, and that's what I sound like, El. Klaus has every tender look on his face.

"Oh, thank you, El. Will you leave it on the couch, please?

"Okay, brother. What about Master Velour? Do you have any sugar?

"Sugar is fly. In the meantime, leave it there, will you?

"I'm in awe. What about Master Courta?

"I don't mind being straight, either. Thank you."

Nodding at the words of the three of them, Elle put the tea on the side table for a toast. Walk beneath Scion, who leaves his back to the wall in the corner of the room, arms together and thoroughly into the flowers of the wall. Elle decided to play the flower of the wall himself next to Zion, keeping in mind that Zion, who looked at the situation in an interesting way, would do the trick of flattering his shoulders.

"You can do that, can't you?

"You say, 'That's what I'm saying'?

"It's like," Lady Shiny. "

"Thank you"

It's ironic, but while Scion smiles bitterly, Elle glances at three equally heated arguments earlier with a strange face. What comes to mind in that face is a smile.

"... that's unusual"

"What is it?

"It's about you who said 'I want to help your brother'. I thought you were going to walk into that buddy and be cute with him... rare and watch him in a step-by-step position. You really look like a lady in a deep window, don't you think?

"... what do you think it is, about me"

"Though you think it's for an unfathomable sister?

Where is the wind that blows Elle's gaze at Zion? Elle leaks one sigh to Scion, who recieves it in a tattered manner.

"... for the first time, so"

"What?

"Klaus, what's your brother saying about doing something on your own?"

Close your eyes just a little and remind me of something.

"- Brother Klaus has been kind to you for a long time, but I never gave you my own opinion. Anytime Nico laughed and respected my thoughts and those of your father."

Open your closed eyes and do your gaze on Zion. It's like, 'No?' Theon answered with the utmost consent to the kind of gaze that asked - then I thought it was a shortage, and I inherited the word.

"That's what happened in college, Klaus said. He was nice to everyone, liked by everyone, loved by everyone. And we didn't hate Klaus like that?

You're not? To Sion's gaze as he asks, Elle indicates no by shaking his neck to the left or right.

"That's me, too, yes. Affirmation whenever, always kind, always loved your smiling brother"

But still.

"- I wanted your brother to put out more 'himself'"

……

"I am fully aware of what I am saying. I know, but I wanted to see your brother... Klaus Burkhardt."

Just like looking at a dazzling thing, I narrow my eyes a little and look at Klaus.

"So… I am so glad that your brother is now. In an effort to grasp the future you draw, you can see your brother, who works hard, gives opinions, and moves."

Really, gladly, and.

"... just a little bit, I'm sad"

"El?"

"I am fully aware of my abilities"

……

"I can't do anything. I can't give you ideas like Velour or help you organize materials like Coata's. I'll make you a cup of tea."

That's very sad, he said.

"... Dear Theon?

A gentle feeling over Elle's head with his head bowed down while he lay low. In Elle's eyes, who raised his face to the feeling, he saw Zion's hand and smile, which lay his hand on his own head.

"It's a good woman's condition, El."

"Nice woman's terms, is it?

"Oh."

Say so.

"When a man works hard, a woman is a thing to watch in silence"

Smile, with a very attractive grin.

"... the woman told you not to do anything?

"After work, show him even one of 'good luck' and a smile. Klaus would love your hug."

"Is a hug, a ho-ho-ho-ho-ho hug! Oh, I can't do that!

"... in the meantime, you fix that Klaus entanglement where you panic right away"

I smiled bitterly at Elle, who was' aye 'under his own hands, and turned that gaze to the three of them.

"And... take a look"

"What a hug, brother, would you be happy! Oh, but! 'Thank you, El. I can take the fatigue out of you' if only your brother would smile gently! Me, me...... I think I can handle it already!!!!

"... listen to people"

"Ha, ha... brother, brother. Well - that hurts! It hurts, Master Theon."

Guggin, and let Elle's head and gaze at the three of you with the momentum that sounds likely.

"... what?

"... Yes"

At the end of that gaze, Elle's cheek slowly loosens as he puts three people in his sight who make arguments with a hustle and an opinion and still even a grin.

"... I can see those 'nice guys' in the privileged seat. You're not gonna get in there, are you? Let's have some fun from the outside."

Elle nodded with more grin to Theon, who said so and smiled.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Is that about the material itself you need?

"Prospects for attraction rates, total expenses out of Hotel Larchia, plans for the secondment of personnel, revenue and expenditure plans and validity...... Oh no, is that about it?

Klaus answers Velour with the first resort, confirming with a broken finger. Fatigue is floating on your face, but you look like you have no heart or are satisfied.

"... right. I know if the plan actually runs out, we'll need to put a little more hands on it, but as things stand, I guess this is about it. What do you say, Mr. Coata?

"You would also need a business plan if it were meant to be...... right, is this the extent of the material you need for the moment?

Put your mouth on the tea that was on the side table and keep your gaze pointed at the material Kota answers it...... eventually, face up as I recall.

"The material itself is, well, as good as this... what do you think?

"What do you mean?

"It means as it is. We don't have the authority to shape this vision, no matter how many materials we make and how close we make it to perfection. I mean, I need permission from Above."

"You're right."

"And vision doesn't make sense as it is. I think it makes sense for the first time to get approval and leave it in the 'shape'"

"... that's tough."

"The result is everything."

"Because you can't appreciate the process?

"Mr. Klaus, you're a 'pro' more than you're getting paid. And if it's" professional, "it's not an effort, it's not a process, and I want you to show it in" results. "

Talking that far, Kota scratches his cheek as if he thought he had spoken too much or just a little.

"... a politician I know has left these words behind"

"Let's hear it"

"'Whether it's a white cat or a black cat, cats that get rats are good cats'"

"... I see you have a point"

"I don't like it when you think wrong, so I'll tell you, it's not like I don't appreciate the effort or the process, or whether you're making fun of me or not. No, but hard work should be a compliment to the talent of being able to make an effort, not a compliment to having made an effort... Well, it doesn't matter."

That said, Hota sees Klaus.

"In the end, I'd like to know who the prospect is."

"What do you think? 'Klaus answered it by clapping his shoulders, staring into his eyes, which reflected the colour darkly.

"At Hotel Larchia, once every thirty days, there will be a thing called a management meeting in the main auditorium"

"Management meeting, is it?"

"Yeah. The last time was done ten days ago, so it's twenty days from now. There are nine participating members. Headed by Adolph, chairman of Hotel Larchia, he is vice chairman, treasury manager, sales manager, branch general manager, purchasing manager, cooking manager, public relations manager and human resources manager."

"What about Mr. Klaus?

"I do not have the right to participate in meetings. It's not that high of a position, so the general manager of the main building is."

Hotel Larchia's "General Manager" is the top position in each main building and branch. It has its proper status and honor, but still doesn't have enough influence to speak out for the 'management meeting'.

"Even though you're the general manager of the 'main building'?

"It's more of a 'main building', isn't it? Unlike other branches, there are so many great people up there."

"If you say so, is that what you say, all I can say... but then"

"Don't worry."

One wink at Kota's words, a smile on his mouth and Klaus blocks the words. I don't care, but that Klaus trick says, 'Ha-ha-ha!' And Elle fell down, leaving behind a mysterious word. Really, I don't care.

"The General Manager class has the right to make agenda proposals. This morning, I applied directly to the chairman and received his approval."

To Klaus' words, Kota nods one thing.

"In the meantime, you mean you put it on the mound... so? Any prospects for approval?

Klaus smiles bitterly as he scratches his cheek at Kota's gaze.

"It's okay! And I want to say it out loud... honestly, did I say five minutes and five minutes?

"Five fifths, is it?"

"Less?

"No, it would rather be more"

"Really?

"Yes, the chairman said," No, Chang Chang, I thought it could be the worst. "

Klaus puts a question mark on his face in Kota's words. Eventually, Pong, as he realized and convinced himself of the meaning, struck his hand.

"Oh, you haven't explained that yet."

"And say?

"Yes, even if the chairman says' no 'at Hotel Larchia, the proposal will be approved and implemented if the other conference participants say' good '"

"… a real meeting, is that why"

"Tradition, from the Hotel Larchia. Commonly known as" The Puppet. "

Velour tea enters as he rows his chair giddy. Seeing that Klaus doesn't deny it, apparently it's not far away without hitting it, and so on.

"'Puppet'?

"Even at our chamber of commerce, it's up to the owners to decide what's important about ordinary management. Yes, but unlike the rest of Hotel Larchia, it's a deliberative decision."

"For once, the chairman will give the final decision. Well, as Velour said, there's a culture where we all talk about the important agenda, Hotel Larchia."

"As a matter of course, there are things that a great person in management decides faster. Yet Hotel Larchia is extremely slow to make that decision because we have a meeting to hear your opinions. The nickname from Saya is" Puppet ". Big man, you can't turn wisdom around all over you, Chu Gao or"

"I want to deny everything about it... but generally, as Velour said, Hotel Larchia is extremely slow to make decisions."

"When Klaus becomes chairman, he abolishes it - such a custom"

"Now I can't do more to abolish it than I do. And this time, this will work in our favor."

"Advantageous?

"Not deciding on the chairman's side means that with more than a certain number of allies, this proposal will pass the meeting. And there's someone who's going to agree to this" proposal, "this time."

Returning to Kota's doubts with his first resort, Klaus continued his words.

"One of the important items on this agenda is the proposed reduction of the operations of the branch in Danieli, which is now under total attack in the Lyme Larchia war. Although the Branch Chief disagrees."

"That 's-- oh, I see."

"Do you understand?

"It would ravage vested interests, wouldn't it?

"That's right. It was the Treasurer who put the agenda out. Though life-oriented in appearance, reducing expenses due to shrinking operations in branches will bring significant benefits"

"To Hotel Larchia? Or to yourself?

"It's both. This way of saying it to our predecessors would be rude... which is why it is bad in nature"

To Klaus, who drops his shoulder, Kota returns it with his first consent. Mixing the honest argument as a "organization" makes this argument difficult. Especially when the title becomes' life-focused ', it will be difficult to denounce it by standing up no matter how transparent the profit expansion appears behind it.

"So, as it stands, aren't we a sinister friend?

It is often said that if three people come together, a faction can do it, but if you believe Klaus' words, the two of them are not devastatingly vicious or funny.

"Don't worry. Because it sucks from the beginning."

This is the word returned from Klaus. Big organizations are tough, too, a lot.

"Are you okay with that? Mainly, organizationally"

"Because this is also the 'tradition' of Hotel Larchia. Well, that's good. The question is who will support this Yuna Larchia hotel proposal... you know what I mean, right?

"Branch general manager, right?

"Exactly. The proposed downsizing of the branch's operations has been on the table last time. I took it home, but I hear it wasn't bad for the feel. The director of the branch is in a hurry... and so are the other directors."

"Because the treasurer has too much power?

"Exactly. The Finance Department is also an important department in Hotel Larchia, but it is not preferred to have too much power. Especially since the Purchase Manager is hostile to the Treasury Manager. It's hard for me to help you all at once."

A purchasing department that spends money and a treasury department that keeps people from spending money. Being unfriendly is logical when it comes to reason.

"So you're going to head the branch?

"Due to the nature of the project, the branch general manager is best suited to the jurisdiction, because"

"It must be pre-construction, it is"

"Thank you."

If a new 'box' called the Yuna Larchia Hotel is to be completed and you see it in brackets called boxes, it will be the exclusive business of the Branch General Manager who will oversee the 'branch'. But.

"If you send people from the Danieli branch to coach you, try to be the chief human resources officer, the chief sales officer, and the chief public relations officer if you do a kind of public relations activity. Branch Supervisor and Finance naturally, it's not funny to insist on a dedicated executive... and what's completely irrelevant is about purchasing and cooking?

"I want the benefit of purchasing it or cooking it, so I guess I'll follow it for any reason."

"One daughter has seven son-in-laws. It's hot."

"That's the thing. However, if you consider the balance of power of the department managers, it is best to leave it to the branch general manager, whose interests are reduced."

"I see. You're a pain in the ass, Hotel Larchia."

"I don't have a choice. This is also 'tradition'."

I give Klaus my shoulders back, and Velour smiles bitterly.

"Three, can I ask you a question?

Kouta raised her hand as she looked at those two. Go ahead, and greet Klaus, who urges him with his gaze, and Hota opens his mouth.

"The first. Is there any problem with leaving this idea to the branch general manager?

"And my name is?

"Fucking story, if this idea succeeds, it will generate huge profits for Hotel Larchia. Is it okay if I give that interest to the Branch General Manager?

"I can't change my stomach on my back," he said? It would be better to do it and die than to die without doing it. Besides, I'm the one who came up with the idea… or Mr. Velour and Mr. Coata… well, it's going to be my 'handle'. "

The 'fruit' of the actual interest and the 'flower' of bringing that interest. It's a realistic decision that it's best to take both, but if you can't take both, it's better to take just one.

"Besides... even if you're not the head of the branch, you need someone to execute this idea eventually. Load wins too much for the general manager of the main building."

"... ok. Okay, second. Conversely, what do you do when you don't 'nobody' have this idea?

"What do you mean?

Return sincere eyes to Klaus' questioned eyes.

"If it's 'my daughter' that won't be my thing, kill me. If she's the daughter who's going to be someone else's 'good wife', it's not necessary."

……

"I would, would I?

"It's a noisy story, Kota Han."

"Even if not, it's also possible that 'daughter' isn't popular in the first place. If you say so, you will be a concubine."

"You're right. If Hotel Larchia weighs in on" tradition "and" format, "you don't seem to hate the sons and daughters of a genuine wife. Especially since we're about to get out of the Treasury Department."

"... don't you like the vice chairman that much too? Honestly, I don't even know who the chairman is, and if I say that in the first place, I'm going to hate them all."

That said, Klaus turns to Kota and bows his head.

"So... Mr. Coata, please"

Tell this' daughter 'to put on some beautiful makeup, please.

……

"... Mr. Coata? What the hell..."

That's all he talked about, in Klaus' eyes with his face up.

"... isn't that funny, it"

I smiled, I see Kota's face.

"Coata,?

"Let's do everything we can. Let them have beautiful makeup, beautiful costumes and lots of money."

But.

"That's not enough"

"Not enough, is it?

"Yeah. It's not enough. Not enough."

Transfer the gaze that was directed at Klaus to Velour. Velour's body, shooting at his gaze, was unwittingly stretched.

"Mr. Velour."

"Hey, what?

"One thing, I need a favor."

"Please? Sora, I'll ask you anything you can..."

Hearing Velour's consent, Kota opened his mouth.

"... seriously, Sole"

Beloit gave a frightened look as Hota's words struck his ear and the words reached his brain and understood what they meant.

"I mean it. Didn't you think of that?

"Normally, I don't even know what to think of. Afterwards, I'm afraid."

"I wouldn't do it, would I? Besides, even Mr. Velour... well, you can't. But what about Mr. Klaus?

"... Sora, Klaus might be able to do it."

"Isn't it?

"Hope so, though? And Klaus would have a bad reputation for that?

"I guess."

"Right, what... Coata Han? You know what you're talking about?

"Whatever. There's one thing I'm saying."

"One?"

"We should do everything we can."

"Sora... well, you're right"

"There may be a moral problem. It may not be a morally praised act. But... the success rate will increase, won't it?

To Kota's words, Velour put his arms together and silenced.

"... well, let it go"

Eventually, I opened my eyes and saw Kota.

"- If you do it, is it thorough?

Shows an invincible grin.

"The problem is... there is a possibility that there isn't any."

"'None' translates alas. Absolutely."

"Is it possible to find it?

"Who are you telling? Even if it looks like this, what about you at the Searching Chamber of Commerce?

"By nature, it doesn't matter if it's twenty days critical at all. So..."

"As much as it will be, huh? Okay. I'll use everything I have and I'll find it."

Point your gaze at Klaus.

"Klaus, is that E?

A cage of intentions, those eyes.

"Good."

"If you do this, don't get all bad reviews?

"I don't mind."

"Even after I'm going to be chairman, you keep telling me?

"Still."

Take a big breath.

"No matter how bad a review you make, no matter how badly you dress, no matter how grudgingly... I'll do it"

……

"You said that too, didn't you, Mr. Coata? White cat or black cat."

He said that catching rats was a good cat.

"... you're starting to see it, homma"

With a bitter smile, shoulder to shoulder.

"Coata Han"

"Yes?"

"I don't know what to say... I knew you'd feel awkward if you turned it to your enemies"

"I'm buying it. I can only do what I can, right?

"Do what you can without hesitation?

"If that's how the case goes,"

- Sigh a lot, one.

"I thought you were the Demon King."

To that kind of velour, Kota replied with a smile.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Good day, Holle"

"And... oh, is that Mr. Scion? What's that?"

"This is El's special warm tea. Lots of sugar, sweet, huh?

When tired, the sugar content is good, and I've heard it somewhere. Saying the words, Theon offers Kota the cup he was bringing. Thank you, and next to Kota, who received it, Theon lowered his hips.

"... what is it?

"What, I thought I'd heal the man who was glittering with numbers until earlier. What do you say? With the beauty next door, you'd blow your fatigue, too, wouldn't you?

That's what makes me smile so briskly, Scion. On that smile, he remembered the soothing things by accident, and Kouta smiled in his face.

"In change"

"... you're a rude guy, you are. How many times do I have to cry?

"Instead, try crying hard. I'd like to take a look, Sole."

"You're gonna cry for real? Good adults have no shame, no outside hearings, they're gonna cry, right?

"... boulders, classmates. Is that what you're saying, Mr. Velour?

"Don't be with me, you're rude"

"You're probably rude too, Sole."

Showing bitterness, Kota makes a cup of hot, standing tea. Sugar stains my tired body, and I often immerse myself in that feeling that tiredness is about to blow up, as Theon said.

"... Now it would be great if it weren't for Mr. Scion next door"

"That's really rude!

"Oh, excuse me. I got a little serious."

"Really, then you have no choice - genuinely!?

"I'm just kidding."

"You don't like me!

Kota stared at the screaming Scion with the same eyes as even the rare beast could see.

"There's no reason for that, is there?

"... Huh?

Haota's accidental blow accidentally leaked a dumb sound from Theon's mouth.

"Yeah. You like me, Mr. Theon, don't you?

"Oh, really? Well, even if they say that all of a sudden... well..."

"Next about sweet stuff"

"It's hard to understand the criteria - no, it's very easy to understand! You said you didn't like so much sweet stuff!

"So to that extent, I like it."

"That's what I hate!

Stand up, - glimpse the barking Scion, and mouth again on the warm tea.

"Why don't you sit down? Besides, it's late at night, and it's annoying to make a scene, right?

"The guy named you..."

While staring at Haota in such a shape that people could also kill him, he nonetheless understood what Haota had to say and silently lowered his hips next to him, Scion.

"... I need to ask you something"

"What is it?

"That's what I told Velour! And then Velour looked 'bad'!

"Bad face... that's terrible,"

"We've known each other a long time. And when you look like that, it's time for you to think about the fact that Velour is mostly not busy! Come on, spit it! Spit it out, spit it out!

"So loud, Mr. Scion"

"Oh, I'm sorry - no!

I honestly apologized and said, 'Something different!' Scion, who remembers, speaks louder than earlier. Take an interesting look at that.

"That's really funny, you"

And say it out loud. This neighborhood is Hota quality.

"This is the first evaluation of my life, it is!

One last bark. Shion also chooses to tone down because it is late at night on the boulder. Sometimes it's pure anger.

"... reasonably good. No, not good at all... well, good. So? What did you say to Velour... no, I asked you, right? What did you ask for?

"I'm not asking for anything serious, am I?

"If it's no big deal, can you say it?

"Is that intriguing?

"Why don't you say yes?

"You can't tell me if you're interested."

"Well, in 'no'"

"Still can't teach you."

"... which of these are you not going to teach? I'm not gonna ask you a question.

"Me, too. But this is a trade secret, so to speak."

"To my people, too?

"It's because you're one of us."

You don't trust me. You don't trust me.

"That's not what I'm saying..."

I smile like I'm in trouble and see Scion.

"... well, because it's not much of a 'praised' way. I don't want you to hate me, so can you convince me of one thing?

Kota's words like that and gaze. Take those two by clamping your shoulders, and Theon exhales - much longer.

"... it's not dangerous, is it?

"Are you worried?

"Don't tear it up."

"… at least there's nothing life-threatening."

Theon nodded one as if only slightly satisfied with Kota's response.

"Then I won't ask any more"

"Thank you"

'Cause it's a good woman's condition.'

"What is it?

"Don't pry into a man's work."

……

"Hey. What, in the meantime"

".................. no. I was just wondering which side of the world you're going to lower and say nice women or something."

"... ok, ok. You sell fights, don't you?

"Wouldn't you say that someone who was growing mushrooms from underwear, well... thick skin on the surface?

"Step by step, I see how you treat me. Right, if you're angry, you lose."

One sigh of sigh as if it were frightening. Eventually he smiled like he was refreshed.

"... don't bother me"

When and honestly bow your head. As he had faced the appearance, Kota was stuck in words for a moment.

"... what's wrong, suddenly"

"No, I was going to put in a proper apology for once. I wielded you and let you hang out with me this time... sorry, that was annoying, wasn't it?

"Did you even eat something bad?

"Am I seriously gonna talk to you?

It's Kota's turn to sigh on Sion with serious eyes.

"... I'm glad, I am"

"Glad?"

"In the world I was in, there's the word 'banker's limit'."

"'Banker Limits'?

"Occupational patterns, bankers interrupt various companies to consult on loans, asset management, and management improvement. It depends on people...... personally, I would be very happy to talk to you about improving management. Disclosing information and asking for my wisdom is also a happy moment as a banker."

I do, and.

"... Still, no matter where you go, 'banker' is' banker 'what. There's more to it than not being a person in the company than having an interest in your own workplace."

"That's... but isn't there any choice?

"Yeah. I think bankers have to say things in the bank's shoes more than they're getting paid by the bank"

It's a "pro" around the corner.

"… but still, I think there's a 'wall' between you and the customer… it's hard stuff"

"... then why not give an opinion where that 'bank' position is absent? No interest involved, in a place like that..."

"Without the 'sign' of the bank, no one would ever talk to me."

"-"

"I'm a banker, so you can count on me. But since I'm a banker, I can't talk about stepping in."

It's a difficult profession, laugh.

"... but not here. You rely on me as a person, not as a 'banker'. Because it's still a delightful thing to need."

"... right"

"So as far as I'm concerned, I'm not dissatisfied with the status quo, am I? In general, what's wrong? Heaven, heaven and earth, pride, it is Mr. Zion who sacrifices nothing else for his own intellectual desire without bothering anyone, right?

That's the end of the boring story.

"The guy named you... really, what do you think I am..."

Just saying that, while thanking Kota for changing the subject, Theon opened his mouth to try to get on with it.

"Yes?"

"Then I won't shy away either. Ready? Absolutely, 'Win.'"

For Klaus.

For Elle.

Velour's, Scion's.

"For those of you who depend on you, you must win."

Most importantly, for Kota himself.

"... don't worry, Mr. Scion"

Put your confident emotions on that laugh.

"I'm only riding a winning horse, right?

"... superior. Then I'll give you a hug or a kiss at dawn when you win."

To such a Scion's, invincible grin.

"In change"

"Oh, the guy named you!

As usual, Kota smiled back as well.
