The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 45: The Wolf Smoke of Counter Strike

- Hotel Larchia Management Conference.

It is the final decision-making body of Hotel Larchia, whose name is gloriously inscribed in the history of the Continental of Orkena, a conference whose decisions have no less impact on the fate of Hotel Larchia and on the Continental of Orkena. Until the first generation, there were indeed twenty-two presidents, all of whom may not have the final decision-making power in the extreme-like hotels Lalchia, which are owned by relatives of the Burkhardt family, which is the opposite of the idea.

Hotel Larchia has a history of three hundred years. It would be a miracle probability that all of the successors to the Burkhardt family would be good managers, and there would certainly be no guarantee that their good managers would have long lives. Regardless of the clan management, unless you invite the outside world, you need to restrict the "relatives of the Burkhardt family" to their successors and, on top of that, if you wish to survive the hotel, you inevitably need to decentralize power to places that are not individual chairmen. Since when in the world has this management meeting been held, the history of Hotel Larchia does not tell us, but the chairman who first decided to hold this meeting was a very balanced manager, in keeping with reality.

"… Now, as we shrink the operations of the Danieli branch"

Hotel Larchia Auditorium, able to accommodate more than two hundred people. Nine men sat on a round table placed in the middle of it in a way that made them even feel lonely.

Next to the chairman of Hotel Larchia, who turned the entrance to the other front, a little over fifty years old, who willingly took a seat at the words of the vice-chairman of Hotel Larchia, Werner, who held the chair, opened his mouth looking out at the faces sitting at the round table.

"Let me suggest it. This time it is Danieli with a branch of our Hotel Larchia that is the main battlefield in the Lyme Larchia war. Resistance from the Lyme army is intense, and the current situation is dominated by defenses that can be placed on Danieli's outer walls."

Separate words and wave them loudly to show them.

"...... however, there are limits to the battle of Cage Castle too! If Danieli continues to be attacked, Danieli will eventually open the castle with the resistance of the Lyme army. In that case! I think there is a good chance that looting, assault and destruction will take place by the Larkian army, which was murderous. At that time, who can affirm that there will be no harm to the lives and dignity of the people working for Hotel Larchia?

Again, I looked around at the face of the round table to make sure that I had no objections, and I smiled and broke my friendship.

"… for the above reasons, it is up to me and I to propose a reduction in the work of the Danieli branch. Do you have any feedback?

That's what I say, get your hips down on the chair. A bald-headed man of the same age as the previous speaker raised his hand, staring bitterly at the figure face to face.

"May I, Thomas Treasurer?"

"Go ahead, Volker Branch General Manager"

"I accept your high theory, but isn't it a little too steep?

"Rather, it's about too late. Danieli is in the middle of a total attack right now. It's not funny when the walls surrounding the city are decimated and Larchian troops come aboard"

"But we are the Hotel Larchia."

"Is that it?

"'No attack should be launched on Hotel Larchia', I thought this was common sense in the Continent of Orkena, but is my common sense ridiculous?

What do you think? and Volker Branch General Manager looking around the facade sitting at the round table. I could see some gaze nodding in his gaze.

"No attack should be launched on 'Hotel Larchia'. Oh, I'm sure you're right."

"Then..."

"but... that would be 'till now'"

"-"

"In the future, can't we launch any attacks on Hotel Larchia? No matter what happens, as long as you're in Hotel Larchia, does it not do any harm?

"It's..."

"Can you assure me?" Absolutely, "he said."

"There's absolutely no way you can say that!

"This war is a condolence match for Princess Jessica by Larchia. Unlike previous wars, it's a different kind of war, demanding nothing of territory, money, concessions. I really thought the previous' common sense 'would make sense of such an' insane 'war!

……

"Is that what you say about relying on such candor and having to sacrifice your honorable life because you've been okay so far? Volker Branch General Manager?

"You wouldn't have said that!

"So, can you approve this project?

Volker opened and closed his mouth twice or three times and sat silently in his seat, staring at Thomas with a smile on his face, even as he saw his parents' revenge.

"Is that good from me, too?

"Go ahead, Rolf, Director of Human Resources"

"I don't mind Danieli's proposed downsizing. But who is it? Isn't it unfair of those who can and cannot pull it up from Danieli?

"Saving more lives than just one person and wiping them out because of a sense of injustice? Which would be better?

"… meditate on the eyes for some sacrifice,"

"Right. Well, that won't help."

I just have to ask you to give up thinking you were unlucky, and that's like nothing, Thomas.

"Haven't you had any luck with the emphasis on life, have you? Your theory is inconsistent, Thomas."

Saying so embarrassingly, Werner turns to the chairman and asks for leave to judge.

"Chairman"

"Approval. Danieli Branch leaves a minimum of personnel to shrink its operations. Branch chief, send someone to Danieli immediately. Contact the Director of Public Relations, the national diplomatic offices. The Purchase Manager calculates the purchase volume for the other three months. Ready?"

Yes, and Adolph nods small to a voice that sounds dissonant and looks at Thomas.

"The Treasurer is a reappraisal of the budget. Sharpen where you can."

"I'll take care of it!

Thomas, with a delightful face and an exciting pearl on his cheek, has a white-like gaze. In particular, the purchasing manager, who was asked to calculate the purchase amount, particularly strengthened his gaze. These two people who were originally friends of the dog monkey, this time the ditch would have been thoroughly deepened.

"Now, on the next agenda,

Werner's gaze, reassured by his worst imagination and still not developing into a grasping fight, is pointed at the auditorium door. The boy standing there took that gaze and slowly opened the door.

"- He would not have the right to participate in the meeting if it were meant to be... but he is the one most familiar with this agenda. I asked him to come here on an exceptional basis."

"I'm Klaus Burkhardt, general manager of the main building. Next to me is Mr. Courta Matussillo. The agenda that I'm proposing this time..."

Take a breath.

"- About the business partnership between Hotel Larchia and Yuna Hotel Group,"

The temperature of the Hotel Larchia Auditorium rose at once.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Yuna Hotel Group? When I say Yuna, is that Yuna? Kato's!"

The first person to speak up was the sales manager. Slowly gazing at the voice, Klaus nodded at the sales manager.

"Yeah. It's that Yuna Hotel group. This time, a meeting of business alliances from the Yuna Hotel side came from my friend, Mr Velour Searches. As for the conditional aspect, as per the material Mr. Matushiro is handing out right now -"

"It's an act of transcendence! This is the sales department's area of work, including business partnerships with other hotels! Klaus, what can I do for you?"

The sales manager yelled so as to block Klaus' words.

"I gave you permission."

"- So... or the chairman?

Adolf carries on the word so as to block it.

"Especially what you said, Iros sales manager. But this is a story that came out of Klaus' extremely personal relationship. Get your blues up that far and listen to me without anger. Put my face up."

Please, to Adolph, who bows his head, ailos to black-and-white his eyes at first sight.

"Or if the chairman says so much...... but I didn't know that stories from personal friends would be on the management meeting agenda, it's called a shrink in the operations of the Danieli branch, and Hotel Larchia is a fallen thing too!

Hung and one snort, Iros lowered his hips, the choreographer greetingly handed out the materials to snatch it away from Kota, and through his eyes.

"Keep going, Klaus"

"... thank you, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your eyes on the paper at hand. We have written an overview of our business partnership with Yuna Hotel Group there. When summed up thoroughly, two points. The hotel will have all of its expenses, including the cost of" boxes "such as hotel construction, labor costs, and the purchase of ingredients. The hotel will have its own expertise in human resource development, staff dispatch, and other" contents "parts."

Do you have any questions? and Klaus looking around the round table with his eyes raised from the material at hand. One person nodded at the fact that he could not see the color of the question there and started talking again.

"There will need to be a little more discussion about revenue sharing and other conditions, but as things stand, the new hotel… tentatively, I think that about 40% of Yuna Larchia Hotel's revenues can be recorded as Hotel Larchia's revenues. Estimates, but please look at the next page for earnings forecasts for our hotel"

The sound of everyone rolling the paper at hand and - then I heard the deliberate air and the breathtaking atmosphere.

- Klaus.

"What is it, Iros Sales Manager"

"Are the numbers written here correct?

"It's a rough estimate, so I can't say for sure that it's a landing… Well, I think that for numbers after the third year, it could be roughly that number, or a number that can predict a slight upward brake."

"Upper brace," he said? Klaus, the revenue from this figure is equivalent to 20% of the current Hotel Larchia revenue, right?

"The biggest feature of this project is that no expenses will be taken from Hotel Larchia. This is the form in which only intangible assets are used, such as know-how and staff secondments… no costs are incurred, so to speak, revenues from genuine water are recorded in Soco"

……

"In addition, this project will also curb labor costs for the main unit, that is, Hotel Larchia. Any suggestions for downsizing the operations of the Danieli branch?

"Pass. As soon as you're ready, I'll have you pull one person off the Danieli branch."

"I guess we haven't decided on a department assignment or anything about the fugitives yet, have we?

"... oh"

"Then I suppose if we put that fugitive on duty as a mentor for this new hotel, we'll be able to keep the labor costs down? Regardless of the extra branch, there is already a surplus in personnel in this main building where I serve as general manager. You don't have to accept a friar from Danieli, it's enough, the business will turn."

Hotel Larchia is a premier hotel that makes the best service the biggest uri. By providing a meticulous service, it is said that "one customer can have two employees exclusively", we make that status a definite thing. For this reason, it is the truth that Hotel Larchia always has enough surplus personnel. Even in the main building, no further personnel are required, as are other branches.

"... it's not like there's no expense at all. As it says on that page, the new hotel will operate at prices well below Hotel Larchia. Staff costs have Yuna, I said, but if we operate at the current Hotel Larchia salary level, the new hotel will undoubtedly go bankrupt. That's not why I'm cutting the salaries of the staff I'm sending to this new hotel. To avoid feeling unfair, you will have to pay a certain amount of the increase from the main unit. But isn't that a story that's still beneficial enough?

I get paid to go on a business trip, and the company from which I go has the missing amount. It's not a total zero expense, but it's still less expensive than paying for the whole thing.

"... I see,"

The gaze that was staring at the paper like a frigid smell had now turned into a serious one. Everyone in conference attendance is showing a way to look at the paper and think about it.

"We are convinced that this project is something that will certainly benefit Hotel Larchia. And this idea..."

Run your gaze sequentially across the roundtable. Pass over that face with various expressions on it.

"- General Manager of Volker Branch. I'm begging you."

The frightened face, for a moment.

"Oh well! Right! If it's a direct nomination from you, Klaus, the great book of this idea, you're not going to let me take it!

Full of joy, Volker shows momentum without rubbing hands.

"Wait, Klaus! This agenda includes human resources projects to new hotels! Isn't it under the authority of our Human Resources department?

"You mustn't listen to this, Rolf, Director of Human Resources! As Klaus also said earlier, this proposal would be the first thing to talk to our sales department about, if it were meant to be. No, Klaus, you're in good hands! You don't have to worry. [M] Maybe our sales department will take over later."

"No, sales manager. External compromise was originally what we at PR are best at. It would be better if we had some kind of flight to negotiate, which is known to be the Yuna Hotel Group. Don't worry, our PR department will take care of everything in the future!

"Hey, what are you talking about! Klaus himself, who came up with the idea, wants me to take over, right? Then there's no curtain for you!

"What!

"Tell me what!

The main auditorium shows the hustle and bustle of the beehive. The paperwork in your hands makes the world curse each other like bad, which is so ugly that it doesn't look like the management of a very superior hotel.

"Quiet!"

There is a great deal of anger in the auditorium surrounded by such a hustle and bustle. Everyone looked in the direction of their voices and saw Thomas Treasurer's face taking a seat with blue bars on his forehead.

"… Chairman"

"... what?

"This proposal hasn't been 'approved' yet, has it?

"Exactly"

Nodding loudly at the chairman's words, Thomas turns that gaze to Klaus. I cut it off, that gaze.

"I disagree with this proposal"

"... why is that?

"Why? You don't even know that, assuming the general manager of the main building!

Keep your frustrating feelings, Dan with your fists on the round table, and slap them.

"Because this is the 'Hotel Larchia'!

The silence of lies, like time stops.

"I have been setting up a shop in the Wang capital, Larchia, for 300 years. With history and tradition, this Hotel Larchia is in partnership with the Yuna Hotel Group? You idiot, take the rest of the day off. Say it! Sales Manager!"

"Hey, what's up?

"You know that too! What kind of hotel is Yuna Hotel Group!

"It's..."

"It's a bad room to call a room! It's also embarrassing to call it cooking, crude dishes! I can't even tell you if you rip your mouth off with customer service or something, you suck service! Just say the same hotel, bug spit runs! Director of Public Relations!"

"Hey, what's up?"

"Can you say! Can you truly say that you have partnered with Yuna Hotel Group before the kings of each country and the guests who are currently treating our Hotel Larchia, and that you have partnered with hotels of low character that have lost the quality of their services!

……

"Even the Director of Human Resources is! What are you going to explain to your employees! Do you order the glorious Hotel Larchia's proud staff to drop the quality of service tomorrow?

"Oh, that's..."

"Branch General Manager!

"What's all this noise?"

"What do you... what do you know about Hotel Larchia pride! You want money, but you're going to cut off the tradition and pride of Hotel Larchia!

In the auditorium, silence runs. All you can hear is Thomas' rough breath breathing on your shoulders, such a space.

- Klaus.

"Yes."

"You... what the hell are you thinking!

"It's an improvement on Hotel Larchia. To guide better financial content, for that matter..."

"Whatever you do for that matter is no excuse. No!

Again, silence.

"... Klaus"

"Yes."

"You're not from Hotel Larchia, after all."

mockery and.

pity and.

More than that, with disdain.

"As it turns out, you're Laura's safe house. I don't hate anything to make money. I was born in a low-quality, low-level lodging."

Really.

"You know Ohri, Klaus."

No more, a lowly grin on its face.

……

"Can't you say anything back, yeah?

"… it is true that I was not born in Hotel Larchia. But still, I swear I'm not lying about what I think of Hotel Larchia."

"Oh, I guess so. I wouldn't deny that either. But what? Hotel Larchia has a Hotel Larchia fashion. The tradition and format of Hotel Larchia, crowned by the world, may have been a little difficult for you in the Laura family?

Klaus, who holds his fist in and endures, appeared in Kota's sight in Thomas' abandoned dialogue, which he mocked. You'll regret it for the rest of your life. There was a glimmer of blood coming from the fist I gripped.

"Well, if I find that out, I won't give my opinion to the management meeting in the future. So, Mr. Chairman, on this agenda..."

"Please wait"

In a spirit, Kota's words blocked Thomas from voting on the agenda for the chairman. Thomas, shaped blocked in the middle of the word, turns his gaze to Kota in dissatisfaction.

"... what, you?

"I'll see you first. My name is Coata Matussillo and I am a friend of Mr Klaus Burkhardt's. After listening to your earlier theory, I wish I could teach you the traditions and pride of Hotel Larchia."

"Klaus's friend? Well, since when did the management meeting at Hotel Larchia become a playground?

Thomas sniffs his nose like a pain in the ass.

"What kind of brother-in-law do I have to teach you the Hotel Larchia tradition? In the first place, why would someone like you be speaking at this management meeting? Watch your mouth, a young monk."

"Remainder, it is alleged that I have lent a little bit of help on this agenda. And I believe this project will necessarily help Hotel Larchia."

"... wait. You said you helped this case... did you?

"Yes."

Nodding Kota.

"Klaus!"

To that figure, Thomas' gauge of anger shakes off. Emotions intact, words hit Klaus.

"What the hell are you thinking! You're telling me you left the idea of deciding the end of Hotel Larchia to a man like this who doesn't know where the horse bones are!

"Withdraw your statement, Director Thomas. Mr. Coata is a dear friend of mine. It's not a horse's bone."

"If I did, he'd be an outsider!

"That's... yes"

"Then tell me that you have mildly divulged some serious business secrets! What are you really thinking!

"Sorry......"

"It's not a question of apologizing! Chairman! This is a fine act of treachery!

"Chairman! That's not what I meant!

"- I'm sorry I'm talking to you."

Between the two of us speaking out loud, Kota breaks into the conversation with the usual floating attitude. Thomas' voltage rose even more to the attitude of Kota.

"You shut up!

"I didn't come here from the edge as long as they told me to keep my mouth shut. Besides, Chief Thomas, you said: 'This agenda has not yet been passed'. It is true that Mr. Klaus's mildly spoken out trade secrets is not a praiseworthy action... but isn't that a good idea after this agenda has been 'passed'?

"That's not the problem!

"What, shall I write a brush?" I won't divulge what I hear here, "he said. If that's what you're convinced of."

"Are you fooling me!

"I don't mean to. You don't have a plan, do you? There's nothing I can do without a plan. Or is it the Hotel Larchia stream that disagrees without a counterproposal?

"You!"

"... Enough"

Chairman Adolf takes his seat and controls Thomas with his voice, who was inadvertently about to be grabbed by Hota. Thomas stops himself from sounding like a bass that sounds from the bottom of the earth.

"I will follow up with you regarding Klaus' treatment. He's right, I can't help but make that argument here any longer. Klaus, okay?

"Yes."

Courtesy of Adolph. Looking satisfactorily at that Klaus trick, Thomas' contempt gaze was directed at Kota.

"Then that's it."

"Not yet. What is the tradition of Hotel Larchia?

"... the one who says you"

"To the first person you meet, is it the character of Hotel Larchia to say 'you'?

"It is the Hotel Larchia fashion that treats humans with proper courtesy!

"Well, then I've been cursing Yuna Hotel Group a lot worse since earlier... because Yuna says she doesn't deserve to be polite?

"Naturally!

"Why?"

"Think only about making money and respect where in the hotel that provides poor service!

"Because I think it's a fine management?

"Then we'll do it ourselves!

He waves his hand at the dagger and Thomas shakes the hot valve.

"We are Hotel Larchia! Traditional and proud, it's Hotel Larchia! How can that precious pride and tradition be tarnished by the fundamentalist Yuna Hotel, etc. who only thinks about making money! We are Hotel Larchia! Traditional, proud, historic, Hotel Larchia!

Byrne and Thomas tap the round table and stare at Kota. Slowly align your gaze with that gaze.

"... I see. In other words, the business partnership with Yuna defiles the Hotel Larchia tradition."

"That's right!

"When you work with a hotel that sells cheaply and is like worshipperism, that's what you want to say when you drop the 'character' of Hotel Larchia."

"He says yes! Hotel Larchia never 'sells cheaply', etc!

"... Really, that's rude. Hotel Larchia has a fine tradition and pride."

Forgive me for my disrespect so far.

Kota breaks his hips and lowers his head. Thomas dropped his hips on the chair as Thomas lowered his sip, surprised by the obvious trick.

"By the way... I hear you've lost a lot on the milk and egg futures market, Director Thomas"

The motion stops.

"Nah... what, what?

Stunning.

In a nutshell, he glimpses Thomas with such a look that the dialogue would apply, and Hota deliberately waves the paper at hand to show it.

"No, according to the material here, right?

Roll one of those materials and turn your fierce gaze to Thomas.

"Director Thomas, how long have you been in here? Cash, real estate...... oh, even paintings and sculptures? Nevertheless, the amount of this loss… seems to have been abandoned for a long time."

"Oh, what does that have to do with anything!

Pocan, and I opened my mouth, and it was stiffening for a moment.

Thomas releases his words as he dyes his face bright red and bubbles at the edge of his mouth.

"Yeah, you don't have anything to do with it directly. It's just... what was it? Oh, the worship doctrine doesn't deserve the character of Hotel Larchia? I thought someone who lost a lot of money on the market could have said it without shame."

- An image, there is a thing.

In the banking industry where Kota works, for example, "gambling" is generally a kind of thing that is repelled. Of personal hobbies, or as you do within your personal pennies, and no matter how anyone sees it, they still get caution from their superiors that 'it's better to stop'. "If the money in the vault looks like 'money' instead of 'stuff', you should quit as a banker," the banker may be told shortly after entering the bank, but the banker who is gambling is' sometimes thought 'that' stuff 'looks like' money '. This is not really a question of whether or not. Yes, "visible" is a problem in itself. The crown is not corrected under the luggage.

"... it's been quite interesting, Director Thomas."

I mean, what do you mean?

"While in the key position of treasurer, did you lose money by getting your hands on the futures market? Hmm, that's a liberal question."

"Duh, what do you mean! Marx, Director of Purchasing!

"The Treasurer holds the position of Hotel Larchia's money in one hand. The treasurer at the time is so worried about selling land and paintings, isn't he?

"Wow, you're trying to tell me I wore Hotel Larchia money! It's an insult! This is an insult, Marx Purchasing Manager!

"No, I'm not going to say that much either..."

This is the case.

"Well... yes, it was a question of what you were suspecting, wasn't it? You must have derogated from Hotel Larchia's 'taste' that you mentioned earlier, right?

A grilled copy of Thomas earlier? Marx Purchasing Director sees Thomas gripping his fist with his face bright red and trembling with a nigga and a humble laugh. Be nice to Thomas, who hasn't disputed it, and open his mouth to try to recruit him.

"... are you qualified to say that, Marx Purchasing Manager?

Unexpectedly shut his mouth to Kota's words and the trick of turning a sheet of paper.

"Marx Purchasing Manager. You're bringing a lot of profit to Hotel Larchia by reviewing suppliers and negotiating prices. I see, that arm is a brilliant thing. But."

Take a breath.

"- Isn't 'purchasing' up to a fifteen-year-old girl... a little too much?

"Become!"

"Besides, they've been 'priced' for a long time, haven't they? Boulder, Director of Hotel Larchia Purchasing. Is it your thing to negotiate the price? Next time, Professor...... Oh, let's not forget it. Your reputation seems to suck in that neighborhood."

Marx opened his mouth with bubbles on the edge of his mouth to Kota, who shouted his shoulders at him.

"Oh, that! Oh, no! Misunderstood!"

"I see, is that a misunderstanding? Oh, should I have also told you that you were purchased not just at fifteen, but even to a forty year old woman? I don't know what you're going to do to people's sexuality."

Muddy.

The more the blade of Hota's words pours down the rain shower and sharpens the Marx Purchase Manager. Eventually, I realized that no more resistance was in vain.

"A lot... for a big time"

After that, sink. Like Thomas, Marx, whose face turned bright red, shrunk his body in silence as he took his seat.

"Well."

Cold smile.

Mercy.

Mocking.

Put all its colors in your eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the management meeting of Hotel Larchia?

Like running away from Kota's gaze. I looked sideways at that movement of the management that leaned down as Hota moved, breaded the paper at hand, and played around the round table.

"- Could you please teach me how to be proud of Hotel Larchia?

Hilarious, and.

"Most..."

Shake the paper at hand and show it to me.

"Professor, if you can, but?

- A glimmer of counterattack wolf smoke went up.
