The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 84: Operation Conference

The Royal Castle of Larchia, in the heart of the king's capital, Larchia.

Although it is the throne of the kingdom of Flame, one of each nation on the continent of Orkena, its abode has more meaning and significance than the capital of one nation, than the Kingdom of Flame is the authentic successor to the Empire of Flame, which united the continent of Orkena. Terra was used in the conference venues of the Orkena countries, in the research presentation venues of the combined Royal Academy of Sciences, and in the previous' war ', but in the wars between countries other than Flame, the Royal Castle of Larchia is sometimes used for harmonious meetings. It is also the capital of the kingdom of Flame and the capital of the continent of Orkena.

Due to its history, the Royal Castle of Larchia has been undergoing many renovations, renovations and additions, which are so complex that they are called 'Lost even in Made with the Royal Castle' - well, to say the least, it is huge and vast.

"... Hey, Coata?

Such a room in the Royal Castle of Larchia. Kouta sweated cold on his back, under the gaze of Erica's jitty eyes, who sat back on the bed of the VIP room offered when senior government officials, royalties and nobles from all over the country came to Larchia. Blah, I'm scared.

"Er... Erica? Are you mad at me?

I said, "I'm unhappy! 'Kota spins his words as he becomes just a little tazzy to Erica, who comes at the gaze.

"Are you mad? No, you're not mad at me, are you? I'm not angry... but I'm not angry, am I? Why do you bring back 'girls' every time you go somewhere? Besides... on a night like this?

For a moment in Kota's eyes, I saw a phantom where the kitten made her hair stand upside down and threatened 'shuck'. There is also some legitimacy in Erica's words in view of his past 'evil deeds'. Yes, but Haotai is also a little unconvinced this time, or he rarely argues and opens his mouth to show it.

"... bring one girl into the 'Inn' where she's staying late at night, right? Yeah, I'm a complete criminal when I just ask the facts, thank you so much"

"How to say it! It would be too bad to say it!

Ayano blocks me on the way. If you just look at the behavior, you are definitely guilty, but Kota is also pathetic for all this time on the boulder.

"That...... Dear Erica, Dear Ayano, I am so sorry. Eliza really bothered you this time."

Emily bows her head in sincere sorrow. Apologies for Haota and for the two of you who tease the eyebrows and shoulders. The two were accurately read, and Ayano lowered their eyebrow root somewhat.

"... well, that's good. More importantly, that minimum-sized Emily, why don't you introduce me? Where is he? It's not like Emily's daughter... or anything, is it?

Such a big child shook her neck to the left and right to Ayano's words, all she said, and then only looked at Eliza, Emili. Eliza, who was pointed at, picked the edge of her skirt properly just to get my will, and showed it with a beautiful hip fold.

"- Welcome first, Dear Ayano Ookawa. My name is Eliza Becker. We hear that my aunt, Emily Notesfilt, is always looking out for you. I'm only nine years old, and I'm a genius with a lot of things to do, but my aunt and I will continue to sit in unwanted happiness if we wish to be together."

"... thank you very much for this. My name is Ayano Okawa. This is Emily. She's always doing better."

That's what I say, I bow my head to fit Eliza, and then I send my gaze to Chirali and Kota.

"What the fuck?

"No... so is Sonia, but why are you letting this - and not the young girls on this continent are so level?

"Face?"

"Face deviation, too... nine years old. Is this the standard?

"Maybe not. It's a living environment, isn't it?

"Living environment?

"The Beckers are a prestigious chamber of commerce competing for one or two in the Flame Kingdom. Miss Eliza can see enough of her blood and her wisdom."

To take over Ayano's words, Shion, who was wearing his arms around him with the door behind his back, warped the end of his mouth with a nibble. Flying a chilling glance at Scion like that, Eliza bowed her head just as Ayano did.

"We have always heard of your high name, Dear Theon Baumgarden. But one correction."

"Let's hear it"

"My Becker Trading Chamber is not competing for one or two in the Kingdom of Flame. Sales, profits, number of employees, number of branches, influence, and… to history, I will be sitting in the kingdom of Flame"

"... Hmm. My Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce and other enemies?

"Afraid."

To Eliza, who says so with dignity, Theon smiles bitterly with his shoulders flaunted. I noticed Kota with a surprised look on his face, and Shion gave him a picky look with one eyebrow up.

"What?

"No... I'm surprised there's no objection to what I'm saying."

"'What! Are you making fun of my Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce!' But should I have said?

"That sounds more like Mr. Theon."

"... the guy named you"

Oh man, I shake my neck left and right, Scion taking the cigarette out of my white pocket. Light your mouth on fire and hesitate for a while. I shy away from the situation of being in front of a toddler, or I sighed with cigarettes in my pocket.

"If this comes out of the mouths of other chambers of commerce, there's room for objection. If that's what the Becker Chamber of Trade says, I'll only say yes. Alois Becker himself, my lord, may have some problems."

That said, make Eliza look cool and watch what happens.

"... I guess you know the area, Miss Eliza."

"What are you talking about?

"I can't really fight with a toddler."

Eliza responds by raising the corner of her mouth only slightly, as opposed to Scion, who laughs and shows off her niggles. When she saw him, Ayano sighed heavily.

"Yes, yes, I get it. That's amazing, this young lady over here. Hey, Sonia?

That said, Ayano speaks to Sonia, who sits in the deepest part of the room, in the desk chair provided at the window. Sonia giggled and showed her after she had skipped her gaze into the hollow to think about something.

"This is' normal 'for me. Probably Eliza, too, right?

"Yes, I will sit in 'normal', Master Sonia Solvania. I can't say I always take care of you..."

"The fame of the Becker Chamber of Trade and Commerce also resonates with Solvania…" Shipbuilding "in other countries, because there are many problems.

"I understand. But what do you think? I'll be sitting on the brink of something too, and I hope it's time for you to use Becker Trading Chamber's 'Ship' in Solvania?

"I will not sit on anything that happens in my existence... and let's sit on a kind of festival, what is shipbuilding? If possible, I'd like to have fun in Solvania alone," the festival. "

"You're right. It's not even Flame's shipbuilder squeaking out to festivals in other countries."

Ufu, Ahaha and the two young girls who showed each other the exploration of their bellies, Ayano turned his tired face to Kota, who gave up this time.

"Are you sure this young lady over here is too out of standard?

"... don't say it. I think so, too."

"But... in a way, that's not standard either, is it?

That said, Ayano pointed to the bed with his thumb. To match the movement of his thumb, Kota turned his gaze to you.

"... Huh? Uh, Mr. Erica?

I saw Erica like I saw her parents' enemies. Knowing or not Kota's gaze, Erica slowly opens her cherry blossom lips.

"... Long time no see, Eliza"

"- Shit."

"... well, I wouldn't have listened to your tongue now."

"Well, what shall we sit about? That's right, Master Erica. We're out of time."

"Yeah, right. How are you? How are you?

"Yeah, thanks to you. I can't replace Erica."

Say that, one point. After fixing her gaze on Erica's chest, Eliza laughed and showed her with a hump nose.

- You don't have to replace me.

"What do you mean, that!

"Nothing, I won't sit down with you in a deep way. Erica won't replace you, either.

"It's so cluttered the way you mislead me! You tried to call it a wall, didn't you?

"That's not true. Easy to work with. I just thought it was your body. Rather than walking with fat in vain like my aunt, I sit on a functional design. It's up to my Becker Chamber of Trade to apprentice Erica and watch out for 'futile' decorations."

"Even I wanted to try and have some useless decorations! I don't know! Whether it's Aloys or you. What is it? I'm sorry you didn't spit on me!

"Poison," they say, is strange. I'm just purely stating the facts, though?

"For once, royalty at your place, I! Here's some more, there will be!

"Yeah, so I respect you, I respect you. Boulder, Master Erica. Oh dear! Orkena's most beautiful girl lord............... what about this place?

"You!

On a level no different from that of a nine-year-old - rather to Erica, who is slightly pushed and in a mood, Kota drops his shoulder. The shoulder was gently pounded and Ayano slapped.

"... it's amazing, I have a sense of readiness"

"It used to be like this?

"When Mr. Sonia came to Terra. Just like now... talk about your breasts."

"Talk about breasts?

"Erica's pretty"

"... is it even a curse, that girl?

A curse that gets cursed when it comes to young girls, or something like that. It may be novel to go around.

"What time is Miss Erica like that? Even when I came to Terra. Or even when you were in Ayano, wouldn't you?

I often thought of that word of Zion, and then, as I was convinced, Ayano slapped Pong and his hand to show it.

"Oh well, okay. Maybe" Mad Dog "is the name she deserves. I'll give it back, me."

"... quit on you, pretty seriously"

"Rather, ayano. Are you the one? Though I thought you were the type to take part in a 'fight' on that level, too?

"Yeah? Me, even if it looks like this, I'm gonna be selling you a fight for once. I don't have a hobby for making enemies in all directions... and there's no way I can be serious about that little kid in the first place."

"Excuse me for this. Well, you're more considerate than Miss Erica."

"That's right. Mostly, don't go with such a wall."

"It's still a theory that your head is empty when nutrition turns on your milk. I see, is Miss Erica a preacher who makes a denial of logic out of herself? Then you'll be convinced to make enemies in all directions."

"Really?

"It takes a lot of effort to overturn a decided theory. I can't do that without being a truth-seeker or an abusive hobby."

"Uh, convinced!

"Convinced! No, I'm not! Come on, you guys! I wonder if you could at least tell me not to hear!

Erica raised her anger and her voice visibly at the conversation between Theon and Ayano, who were not even hiding so much, and Emili and Kota sighed deeply to see how it was going.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... so? What the hell is going on?

Tea will also help curb excitement. "Co, even tea! Even black tea will brew! 'And made tea like Emily rarely panicked for her. Hot air and fragrance switched the room to just a little soothing air, and at the same time, Erica's anger was gradually ventilated, breathing relief, and Kota opened his mouth.

"I'm talking about the other day. I have visited the residence of Mr. Emili and the chairman of the Becker Chamber of Trade today. I've been negotiating with you to swallow these terms..."

Turn your gaze to Eliza properly, and then just say it out a little bit. Kota continues his words.

"- I was turned down. Says it's not beneficial."

"... heh. The Becker Chamber of Trade said no."

"There are many reasons. Erica, please don't blame Eliza."

"I won't. Even the Becker Trade Chamber is a 'business'. I don't think it's easy for you to convince me that it's not beneficial, and I wouldn't blame you for that."

Haota's words in a different way than earlier - he also accidentally corrected his residence and bowed his head to an attitude that just didn't tell him to be too stupid about me.

"Excuse me."

"It's really rude. Well, that's good. So? I mean, what are we talking about collecting them all late this evening? Take that to Eliza, too. You didn't come here to fight, did you?

Hey, Eliza? Eliza expressed her willingness to accept by shaking her neck vertically to Erica, who was going to talk to her.

"With all due respect, Master Erica, it's late at night, and I'm not free enough to come all the way out here to sell a fight"

"... right." Kids "is bedtime, isn't it?

"... please talk to your 'thin' chest once about which one is selling the fight"

"... heh. What? I knew the Beckers were also resentful towards me?

"... dear Emily, how are you going to take responsibility if your sister misses her wedding date?

"…………… Please, Aunt, leave me alone. Will you leave a message for Aloys later? My sister's fine, but if she persists, she won't like me."

"………… I will return the same words, Master Erica. It's time for you to give your sister your freedom, Emily? Until when, Emily, do you feel better if I snuggle up on your sister?

"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

".......................................... hahaha"

The bees and the two of them stare at each other enough to spark. Let me tell you something, there's a difference between these two years of age of about ten.

"... I am so sorry, Dear Coata"

Looking at the two like that, I bow my head deeply with Emily's expression until it hurts. Kota remembered the emotion of "dusting" even though it was out of place, in the way that Emili looked somewhat smaller, who should not be different from Kota in height.

"... don't care... or isn't Emily bad enough?

"But..."

Caused by myself. Seriously, Emily, there's something I can't stay long enough with.

"My brother and Eliza are so worried about me. Hi... I don't know how to say this, but it seems to me that Erica thinks I'm being used..."

"... oh"

"Regardless, I serve Erica of my own free will, and I remember happiness in it. Please make Erica better... the"

"You're in a tough position to pinch a plate."

"I also have that...... because, you know, I'm still purely 'happy' too. My brother and niece, Erica, seem to love me."

I am not 'loved enough', so I laughed and showed still only a little happily, and continued my words.

"So...... inside, there's something hard to stop. Whatever."

"That's not true. Because you don't have to stop it."

"Yes, Emily. The bad news is, I'm arguing with a nine-year-old over there, Lord of the Flat World."

"… Ayano. Please don't come in here."

"Later. Fine, nothing. We're not going to talk like this."

After pinching his mouth to the conversation between Kota and Emili, Ayano turned to the two of them in a beefy state and twice gave them his hands, sounding pampered and showing them.

"Yes, yes, the toddler girl there and the wall. I can't talk, so I'm done around here."

"What the hell is a wall!

"That's right. It's the spray that gets put together with the toddler girl."

"Facts are facts, aren't they? Erica doesn't fight on the same level as her children. Not just breasts, but even thoughts. Your child size?

"Gu..."

"Eliza, too. Young is a fortune, but at the same time, young is stupid. I don't mind being a grown-up, but if we stick together like that, we won't be 'grown-ups' until how long?

"... So what kind of woman is an adult?

"At least that's not what grown women ask. Well, think of it as a tribute to the year and ask."

At the end of the high, and striking her hand again, Ayano glanced at Haota - giving Haota a surprised look with a pokanned face.

"... what?

"No... Ayano said something very decent."

"... I'd like to ask why, but I won't be able to talk more, so I'll stop and put it down. Do you have an idea, Kota?

Ayano, who shows the adult response, Kota also has one cohon and a cough. He then turned around and opened his mouth to the person who was indoors.

"In the end, the only way to supply profits is to 'convince' the Becker Trading Chamber. It's not a gib & take, but I'm going to offer some way that the Becker Trading Chamber can benefit"

After the words, look around again to confirm. I got that gaze, and Theon hummed one nose and showed it.

"You told me the obvious, didn't you? Do you think anyone knows that?

"It can be something where truth lurks in the obvious. Well, this is confirmation. The point is, let's take the money story with us."

Is that all you need? Everyone nods and shows at Hota's inquiry that Although it is not Zion, it is only saying the obvious, and although there is no objection at this point, it is natural.

"As far as you can tell, the Becker Trade Chamber seems to be doing it extensively...... its origin would still be 'shipbuilding'. I think it's in your best interest to find a shipbuilding destination, or a destination that wants to own a ship."

How about that? Eliza nods and shows Kota, who inquires. Sonia opened her mouth as she put that figure at the edge of her sight.

"Dear Coata, may I ask you a question?

"Go ahead, Mr. Sonia"

"As far as I can deduce my current story, can I consider the 'sell-in' of the Becker Trade Chamber ship?

"In kind."

It is called "business matching" to connect these two companies by perceiving their business needs, such as a company that wants to buy and sell, or a company that is looking for a subcontractor and a company that is looking for an order. The bank itself deals with various industries, and it plays a role in linking different industries that seem unexpected to each other, or those that were too close to each other to be heard. If the banker thinks he can do something like that for the company's salesperson, it doesn't have to be far away.

"I think that's a little tricky."

"Why?"

"I told Eliza earlier..." Shipbuilding "is a" festival ". For example, the Shipbuilding Chamber of Commerce will also be sitting in the Wang Harbor city of Emza, and not all of Solvania… Many merchants will place orders with the Shipbuilding Chamber of Emza"

Depending on the size, if you "build" a ship instead of "build" it, the longer it takes about two or three years, the longer the "ship" is a product that has a long time between purchase order and delivery. Because of this unique merchantability, which is unprecedented, it is said that 'after two to three years of good economy, there will be seven to eight years of recession', and that 'the shipbuilding industry will not interact with the waves of the economy'.

"Regardless, we do not believe that Becker Trading Chamber ships are inferior to other Chamber ships, and on the contrary, we know that they are made using state-of-the-art technology over other ships. Yes, but that's why I order from another country's shipbuilding company..."

Due to long term construction, districts with shipbuilding companies moisturize for long periods of time due to ship orders and often become the main industries of the land. For example, a local city in Shikoku, a city of towels and shipbuilding, would be typical of this, and a local city in Kyushu has sent its first honorary citizen to the president of a Hong Kong shipping company with no ties or affiliations on the grounds that it 'placed a large order to avoid the bankruptcy of the shipbuilding company'. Even Japan is placing warship orders for the United States in order to wish for a mediator in the Nippon Dew War to come after the Nippon War.

"... I see. Each country has its own shipbuilding company and has already roughly decided where to place its order,?

"That's right. In addition, the 'Becker Trade Chamber' is, of course, one of the leading shipbuilding chambers in the world as well as in Orkena. The shipbuilding technology is already known…"

"Don't you even have to dare advertise?

"... yes"

Sonia herself looks sorry for what Sonia said, which makes Kota's idea completely denied. One bitter laugh at Sonia like that, Kota continued her words.

"I know exactly what you're saying. I see, shipbuilding would be an industry with strong ties to the region. What Sonia says is true. So please don't shrink like that."

This way, I'll show you laughing when I'm afraid. Show Sonia one nod complaining just with her gaze that it will be okay.

"And... because it's 'within the assumption'"

That said, Hota turned her gaze to Erica.

"I don't know, Mr. Erica. As a 'pillar' of Terra's earnings...... another thing, why don't you do it and see?

"... pillar of revenue? Weren't we talking about how to convince the Becker Trade Chamber now?

"It's a corner opportunity, and let's drop two birds with one stone."

"... heh. So, you'll let me hear it? What kind of idea is that?

With a frivolous look on his face, still show him the soft grin as usual in Erica's gaze as she expects what ideas to come up with this time.

- The merchant ship business.
