The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Episode One Hundred Six: Noontime Cafes and Huts
"The Rote Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce that exchanged wealth for precious metals. They're doing it extensively now, but the maintenance mainstream is just like precious metal."
"Precious metal?"
"Gems and stuff, huh? Well, things are just things. It's a popular chamber of commerce for young daughters of nobility. That... Niza, is that it? Seems like she was pretty admirable, too, huh? Was it" a lovely hall with a wealth of knowledge of gems and interesting stories, to give colour to your life "?
"... whose word is it, that?
"Uh... sure, was it like Eliza? When I heard that, Master Katrine said, 'I won't sit down! Lady Neeza is a rude person who is so careless and quick to tell me how cute she is! It's not nice!' He said, turning bright red. '
"What kind of tundra is that?
"It was very 'delicious'"
"I have a hobby... Mate. Who, Eliza or Katrine?"
"The Lady of the Earl of Bisconti and the Lady of Viscount Einhardt. I had tea. Look, you had a party the other day hosted by the royal castle, right? Get along there and introduce me to Mr. Rudolph. The year is...... about Erica?
"... I don't know... awesome, how sociable you are"
"You say? Erica, in front of you, said, 'You're the financial guzzle of the territory. Look, let's just reform it.' What a habit."
"That's not the way to put it. Besides, mine is the exception."
With that said, he clapped his shoulder, and Kota stared seriously at Ayano, the woman leaning the cup in front of him. Ayano leans his neck towards his gaze and shows it.
"What?"
"Uh, no, I don't know... good. Well, I just remembered that you were a good place lady too, because I thought I'd be able to go inside and talk to the noble ladies. Your father's a foreign bureaucrat, and your mother's an old Chinese."
"If you interpret it this way, you're the daughter of a small servant and a fallen aristocrat in the King's Palace. So it's not a good place to go. Well, whatever my origins are... Pretty biased, huh?
"What?
"Even when I say noble daughter, I'm only twenty years old or there. I like sweet stuff, too, and I'm interested in sex shagging. It's a small community, and sudden, rare customers offering new topics are a delight."
"Like that?
"You were real in a good way, and those two were. What can I say... Something about real rich people in Japan feels pretty good, doesn't it? I spoke to the saint and cherry blossom girl before, remember?
"Uh... Was the cherry blossom woman a hardware?
"I have a story to say, but, well, yes. It doesn't feel right to call it" hardware, "indeed."
"You have nothing but malice."
"Generally, yes? There will be good money. It's just... here's the real 'Your Highness! People like' are all kinds of smart mons." I'm noble! How prestigious he is to be peppered in the first place. "
"Don't say bollocks, you"
"Well, basically, noble people mean eagle fried. We just have to cross the line that we can't give way to, one disrespectful thing! I don't want to be hand-held."
Talking that far, Ayano took a small sigh.
"... well, Niza seems to have crossed that line"
"... don't tell me, because it makes me sad"
"I think being young is really stupid - me. Well, anyway, as I was saying, Niza is quite a celebrity. Some of the male aristocrats were given gems with Niza's advice. If Niza says she's going to start a new 'business', don't a lot of people want to take a bite?
"Heh. That's a good story."
"I'll take full advantage of Your Majesty's Tute, but ultimate insurance isn't selling shaped 'things', is it? More than that, it's people you can trust in the end. Wide faces are Niza's property, no doubt."
Main Street stretches south of the Royal Castle of Larchia. Ayano turned his gaze to Kota as he forked through the cake set of Bi-Doro Pavilion, a tea and sweet shop in that corner leading to the suburbs.
"... what the fuck?
"Kota, you're close, aren't you? With Niza."
"It's not as close as it sounds... well, let's talk about it to a certain extent"
"Well? What do you think when you hear what I'm saying?
"I don't know... something's awesome. All I had was an image of you twirling into a futon in the corner of the room and saying, 'I'm gonna resent you' or something... I see, you seemed brilliant, just like Mr. Scion said. I was relieved that it was going to go as planned."
All I can think of in Hota is Niza, who is in a big fight with Iris, and Niza, who is scratched Iris and left with a cursed grunt. It is also true that the gap between Niza and Ayano today is too great to follow. Well, the gap to the better.
"... what is it? Those eyes."
Because the color of Ayano's gaze can't be accentuated - instead, she's turning her eyes to Jito while still holding the 'what are you talking about, this guy' color. Ayano exhaled deeply into the words of Hota, who twisted himself uncomfortably into such a gaze.
"Something? It's a real shame about you, isn't it?
"... I feel like I'm being cursed in a terrible way!
"Here's the thing...... it feels like it's calculated how much electricity it costs to show you 'a million dollar night view' or something, before you think it's beautiful. No. Kota, I really don't."
"What? No, I just don't get the point?
"No, normally, what if I heard you say, 'Niza is a jewelry expert, and all kinds of aristocratic youths taught Niza to give you presents'? Don't you think? 'I see! I'll ask Niza about this place and give Ayano some jewelry!' What!"
"Think!
Kota, the cry of my heart. To Ayano's words, which were too unreasonable to speak of, Kota also inherited the words.
"Do you mean? What kind of chemical change would make me give you a jewel in my current story!
"'Thank you, Ayano. Always try your best... this is my gratitude' or so! You're a man!"
"Can you say a floating line of teeth! I mean, if I told you that, you'd laugh!
"Excuse me! You've decided to have a big laugh!
"That's a negative correction!
Ayano, who makes her cheeks swell and look unhappy, exhales like Hota is exhausted. On a beautiful day, words leaked powerlessly from Kota's mouth at the sight of a man and woman too disproportionate to sit on an open terrace at a window.
"... I mean, why? Why am I drinking tea here?
The story goes back about three hours from now until the morning.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
It's not even a big enough thing to say that Judgment Oka by Zion...... the day after the quota was decided.
"Free today?
A voice hung from over Kota's head as she fell asleep in her room and read the book. Shifting his gaze only slightly from the book, Kota confirms the Lord of the Voice. There, admit to the appearance of a woman smiling somewhat pleasantly and show her in a small sigh.
"... about a knock, right?
"Fine, such details. How about that? Are you free? Are you super free?
"Don't ask me like yes or high. Well, I'm free."
Ayano. Ayano's face is happily broken, although it is the words of a miserable Kota.
"Good. So what do you say? Why don't we go out together?
"Go out? Where are you?
Kota shows Ayano's words with a surprising look on his face. To Kota like that, Ayano shook one index finger up in front of his face to the left and right to show it.
"Chitty. You're blunt, Kota-san. The girl said," Why don't you go out for a minute? If you can hear me, it's an ancient decision to answer "OK" in two replies, isn't it? Or what? You, are you gonna turn down a date invitation from a girl?
"An invitation to a date."
"It would be a fine date if both men and women walked away. Like a girl comic book heroine: 'Is that it? Could this be... a date?' Cause I'm not young enough to say, unfortunately."
"Do you read girl comics or something, you? I don't think it fits the character?
"I have a lot to say, but let's hear the opposite. What kind of comics are you gonna read? Oh! By the way, I don't read monster comics."
"Are you not good at being scared? You know, I like horrors and stuff. You know, the one with the blood on it."
"I like horror. And the splatter......... well, I don't hate it. However, you can't have a hazed raccoon system. Mostly because raccoons can be unfortunate."
"... oh"
"By the way, I'm going to cry in a teapot."
"Actually, you like raccoons a lot, you"
"If that's all they say about raccoons, raccoons, you'll get some attachment. Well, better than that! Come with me! It's so cheerful out there. If you read all the books in such a dim room, you'd rot, wouldn't you? Look! Kota, he's got cloudy eyes like a dead fish!
"You said something very rude, now. Really? You know I've been through a lot till yesterday, right? I'm just a little tired."
Two days after I decided to allocate it, Kota wasn't playing either. In the first place, it is a world where there is no concept of 'maritime insurance'. Words alone also have limits to explaining them. Hauta has something to do with Hate and Hauta, even though there will be no problem if it is attached at 46 o'clock.
"That's why I think it's too much to create handling procedures."
"Is that what you say? I don't care if I don't help you, but you've been making a lot of nori along the way."
"Ugh... well, when they say that"
Ayano smiles uncomfortably and scratches his cheek in Kota's jito eyes. Still, I let Kota's gaze, reluctantly sighed and showed.
"... why not? Yeah, well, if you do a" summary "of the data system, you're not gonna stop, are you? Put a diagram or something to make it easier to see."
Bankers are cynical to numbers because numbers are an emphasis on business patterns, and it can be said that it is the fate of the East and West bankers in ancient times and now that I feel sorry for not knowing the 'back' of those numbers. The point is that it is. I couldn't help but wonder, and so I said, 'You never need it, so much! I tend to make materials that penetrate to such a maniacal point that I want to say'.
"I'm sure it's an occupational disease that you can't trust without proper computational evidence or sources or evidence. Including me."
"Well, I can't deny I overdid it, but I'm not having any trouble with it. Anyway! If you want to load all that material, it's gonna take a couple of days anyway, right?
"Well... it's getting a lot thicker."
"What do you mean? You're not free until Niza loads anyway, are you? Then hang out a little bit, right?
"You said you were going out with me... where?
Pathan closed the book he was reading, and Kota turned his gaze to Ayano - and then looked at him like he didn't like it.
"Oh, my God, nibble. Disgusting."
"Come on, come on! Oh, you! Normally it would be 'smile' though! What the hell, nigga! Rude!"
"Uh, bad, bad. So, where am I supposed to hang out?
"You? My handling of boulders is not too cluttered?
"I think it's more decent than Mr. Theon's."
"... when they say it, there's no word."
Show Kota his shoulders flaunted by his words. It is certainly a better treatment than Scion. There is, but that's never the thing that comforts me, and that's why no one here - mainly, Ayano, who firmly understands that he won't be happy - smiles at his expression and winks one wink.
"Well, anyway! Then hang out with me a bit, right?!
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"... so this is where they brought you"
"'The cake here is delicious. Lady Ayano said," I'd love to go, "right? There's a tea party tomorrow, and you recommended me around the corner, but I haven't been there, so it doesn't feel right, does it?
"That sort of thing - wait a minute. Tea party? What, like Eliza and Katrine again earlier?
"Yeah. Dear Julia and Fedirica tomorrow. Count and Viscount's daughter."
"... I don't have any words. Not too social, you."
"It's not like I'm sociable. If you're invited, and even the people who don't feel well don't seem to have it, you'll probably have tea."
"... you're not even going to make a faction inside Flame Royal Castle, are you? I'm too scared of raccoon valves and stuff."
"This time I'm going through, but next time I'm going to buff you, Pong. Well, I don't mean to... but to some extent I'd rather sell my face too, wouldn't I? Maybe I can use it for something."
"... oh. Seriously, it helps. cucumber."
As the emotion of gratitude stands, Kota bows his head toward Ayano. Ayano scratches his cheek and looks soppo in the light of such a Kota figure.
"Well, some things are fun to talk about normally. So it's not just for Kota. But... well, thank you. This is your place, isn't it?
"Want another one, cake?
"If you want to distract me like that, tell Niza to come and talk to me about the jewelry."
"Don't presume much, today. Were you such a jewel lover, you?
Even if I trace the thread of my memory, I don't recall seeing Ayano attaching a kind of accessory rather than saying that it was a gem. That's how Ayano's wonderful smile appeared in Hota's sight.
"Not at all"
"... Hey?
Ayano's smile turns from a glowing object to a broken smile on Kota.
"... silly."
"What?
"I don't like gems, but if it's" Gems I Got From Hotaka "... I love them, right?
……
"Shall I tell you the size of my left hand pharmacopoeia?
"... here's the neighborhood... hey put it down"
Ayano takes a seat when she looks funny at the troubled look on Hota's face and nods one satisfied. Words unwittingly leak out of Kota's mouth at Ayano's sudden attitude.
"Is that the bathroom?
"Don't you have the word Delicacy in your dictionary? No, I'm not. You've already eaten, haven't you? Let's go, next."
To Ayano's words, Hota's gaze turns to Ayano's hand. I see Ayano was right, the plate of cake on her table was cleaned up beautifully.
"Hey, wait. Because I drink tea."
"Oh? You ask unexpectedly honestly?" Where are you going next! 'I thought you'd ask. "
In Ayano's words, Kota sipped out the remaining tea in one breath and turned his gaze.
"I'm not gonna waste it."
"Waste?"
"Whatever you say, you're going anyway, right?
Ayano responds with a smile to the expression of Kota, who smiles bitterly like he gave up. Watching with a bitter smile that drained the poison, Kota also took a seat.
"Really?
That's about it.
When the cashier does the accounting, the two of us take them out of the store. I was wondering if I was used to it on the open terrace, but the light outside without sunshine is invisible and dazzling. In the stabbing sunshine, Kota accidentally narrowed her eyes.
"... why? Where are we going next? Is that the cake-maker's scissors?
"That's a fascinating suggestion... well, I'll take it the next time. It's the jeweler who's going. Can't fit in, let's talk on foot, shall we?
"A jeweler? You mean buy it?
Now it's Ayano's turn to flaunt his shoulder to Kota, who looks like a frigid gaze.
"Can't you imitate Hasitanai like you're going to from here?
"Didn't you just tell me to buy it?
"It means' you want to buy '. Well, that's anyway. I'm going to take a look at it again, Rote Chamber of Commerce. You don't get it. There."
"... well. What about that heart?
"I've heard and seen you in various places, but all you come out with is Niza's story, right?" Here's Niza, "he said," Niza's oh. "They don't know what you look like, noble ladies."
"Isn't that a problem with the layers I've heard? If you're dealing with a noble young man, I don't think it's the wrong story for a young man like Niza to go out?
It is not a different story if Ayano listened to a gathering of noble or young people, things that did not inherit the house from each other. In modern Japan, there are meetings where the next managers gather, where the relationships fostered give birth to a new community, and where the community is often exclusive. I wrote it hard, but the point is, 'My dad's really hard on his head. Let's change it for us! The particular positivity and orientation of young people have given rise to a certain hostility towards the managers of our time.
"Even so, yes. Normally, I don't ask at all. How is that possible?
"Well...... that's right. It's going to be a bit of a conversation, Mon."
"According to the story, Niza's father seems to have complete technical skin, doesn't he? Seems like a big mon to see stones and process...... I don't like sales, do you mean? He said he barely even came out to the social world."
"That's... that's a lot of bigotry. I mean, is that good? The Rote Chamber of Commerce is a big enough chamber to be named to a nine-member committee, isn't it? Seems like a party invitation or something."
"The man in charge is Niza's uncle... the brother of the current president of the Rote Chamber of Commerce. That sounds like a dandy ogysama."
"When it comes to the right material, I guess it's the right material..."
Kota who becomes the face of the idea. Ayano also exhales in a grand sigh as he peeks at the look on his face.
"I'm not gonna tell you I'm a bad technician, am I?
This is true for any profession, but it is self-evident that it is easier to sell if it is' good stuff 'and' bad stuff '. Products for manufacturing, crops for agriculture, services for hotels, etc.
"... well, as a banker, there's something to hook up with."
But good things are just easy to sell and certainly not 'sell'. If we develop presbytery drugs, we will be able to sell them to fly, but if we do not tell anyone that 'presbytery drugs have been made', that is, if we do not 'advertise', the technology and the product will sleep with the manufacturer under the ground.
"'Technicians' are often bad at business."
I've been watching "I'm making good things but I'm not doing well" to the point that both my business partners, Hota and Ayano, didn't like it when I was a banker. At least not a good impression on managers who don't show any face on the table.
"No matter how much Niza does the insurance business, you know you can't ignore her father, right? Especially if you're going to raise the stock of the Rote Chamber of Commerce."
"I think you're right. Is that so?"
"Don't say it to everyone, don't say it to everyone. I know, I know. Anyway, I don't know what I'm talking about.
"... that's the thing. I can't ignore it, but it's not that high a priority. It's hard for Niza to be alone, but fortunately, I can't follow Mr. Zion."
"That being said, it's better to meet, isn't it?
"Exactly."
"And so... yes, here it is"
That's what Ayano stops Pitari and his legs. He was Haota, who left Ayano and took a couple of steps, but turned his gaze in the direction Ayano indicated.
"... are you serious"
Words leak in the 'building' that were there that I didn't intend to put out. A small building, even for one of the chambers of commerce named after a member of the nine-member committee. I guess the popularity is never good, the paint on the exterior walls peels off, and there are holes in the roof to such an extent that Hota, who is not the taller one, can even see it. The exterior walls of the peeled paint are wrapped around a rubber, even retro-style, depending on the appearance.
"... you're so lame"
"... you're lame"
It was "The Cabin".
"... does it fit, here"
"Oh, that haz...... what the hell"
Ayano deflects his gaze softly because he can't stand the gaze of the half-eyed Kota. I have a lot to say. Yes, but I don't think I can help it now, and Kota put his hand on the door of the cabin.
"- It's hustling! You can say I'm good! Go home and fuck yourself with the gold account!
Stop the hand that hung on the door. The outside door opened vigorously where I twisted my neck at the anger I could hear from inside the cabin. In the blink of an eye, in front of Kota, who avoided a frontal collision with the door, a well-dressed man popped in darkening the color of the rush.
"So, but my brother! Not like this!
"I know it's stuck! You haven't changed a thing since you were a kid! He's the little guy with the liver balls!
"That's not what I'm talking about, brother! That's what I'm talking about!
"Do you even ask me to bow my head in front of Her Majesty 'I'm so sorry I didn't sit down'? Ha! This is my ancestors. They're Larchians in business in Larchia! I'm not holding my lightly lowered heads together! That's roughly it! What if one parent puts out a good year old male and female horny halibut! He sounds like an asshole!"
"So, yeah - dangerous! Brother! Please stop throwing things!
Something gavelous passed by the eyes of a man desperately speaking inside the door at an awesome speed. Between the door and the man, who rushed a few steps backwards, just about two adult men saw the shadow of another man coming out of the room.
"............... Yes?
… the sun is also a strong warm day. Kota weaves a jacket on her long sleeve, but it's not strange if it's as good as Gatai as the person who came out of the room. Not strange though.
"... you have it here, too, tattoo culture."
"... another fine sculpture, that"
I'd like to give you a break for a tattoo that looks like it has a complicated tattoo all the way to my wrist.
"Ah, brother! So - that's not good! Throw it!
"Ugh! Look, no matter how many times I'm told, I'm not gonna change my life! That's how I, Antonio Roto, live! You got that? If you know what I'm talking about, get rid of me before I get a hole in my balls!
"No, that's why!
"Oh, already! It's a hustle, you!
"So, alas - oh!
He also tries to persuade a man to cut a numb, or throw a 'stone' with a larger heart held by a tattooed man in his hand. Nice guy of his own, naturally avoids that. Avoided stones never stop on the spot.
"Kota, it's dangerous!
"- What? Abuuuuuuuuuuuu!
- It was a clean hit on Kota's head, which was on the slope.
