The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Focusing on the Royal Castle of Larchia, on the roadside of Larchia Boulevard, built to go up north, the Becker family's separate residence is seated more accurately than the - of the Becker Chamber of Trade. Unlike along Alex Boulevard, which extends west around the royal castle and also has a side of the luxury residential district, Kota watched with a slight envy of the central and vibrant state of Larchia Boulevard in the Larchia economy.

"Whoa, there. - What, honey? What's that strange little outfit?

To the voice hung by the shopkeeper, Kota spreads his narrow eyes and sends his gaze to you. With a slight bitter smile on the astonishing gaze of a man with something like a skewer of meat in his hand, Kota, in every suit, looked around his body and looked sorry for him.

"Are you dressed so weird, this?

"Weird, I mean... oh, well, that's not weird, is it? Think you're dressed up around here?

"It's a normal outfit in Yamate, this"

"Heh. I thought you had dark hair around here on the street. That's what Yamate dresses like."

"I mean, it's fashionable... well, is it? As far as I know, most of us must have slept through it once or twice. Because Yamate's people won't bother you around here? Even though it's Larchia?

"A man who comes all the way to Larchia on a boat, over the sea, in a carriage from the port town is almost a man of royal use. We don't come to this city of ordinary people, we stop at the royal castle."

"Really?

"If you're going to do business... well, at a distance, it's more 'close' to Solvania or Kato, when you get on the boat. It's cheap, too. Larchia's on the coast, too. I don't think so."

Ma, still, 'Larchia' is' Larchia ', but he laughs, and the man shows a small skewer in his hand.

"So, what do you say? Why don't you buy me one? Three copper coins, though, right?

"Right. Yeah, I'll take it."

"Oh, okay? Every time!

"Information fee."

"Information fee? No, we're not talking about that, are we?

"I want to know who, not how, the value of the information comes from. According to my employer."

"Ho. That's a funny thing to say. Ma, no. Bye, Holle!

"Yes. So... yes, it's three copper coins"

"Every time! Stop by again!

He bows his head small to the man releasing his energetic words, and Kota walks down Larchia Boulevard again, cheeky with meat stabbed in the skewer, knowing he is behaving badly. Feeling just a little bit of a heartfelt thing in the voice of the calling that resonated from here and there, Kota reached the Becker family's separate residence, which was his destination. Even if it is not flashy, Kota will also fix the collar of his jacket in the same quiet standing, in the separate residence of the merchant who serves as one of the nine-member committees on the boulder, and pay the dust on his shoulder two or three times.

"... Phew"

Just a little nervous.

Knock the door three times with the concon. Give a smile to the elderly woman who came out of the open door, thinking that if there was a mirror here, she would have fixed her hair and had no benefit.

""............ what?

The voice of the woman who came out of the inside and Hota is hammered.

A black semi-long that stretches up to the shoulder, with only a few eyes - now it's open in the middle - and a black eye that tends to have eyes. In chic black maid clothes, this too, as usual, Emili Notesfilt, wearing a white apron dress, stood solidified with the door open.

"... erm... Emily,?

- Instead of a white headdress, I put on a 'hehe' and a drooping 'dog ear,' Emily.

"Ah... the? Huh? is...... yes? Kota... Ma?

Kouta is probably "Tong", but Emili is "Tong" as well.

"Er... Mr. Emili? Well, it's been a while."

"Uh... Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, it's been a while, Master Coata! Oh, no, I didn't! Oh, that? Oh, brother... what?

"Mr. Aloys, is it?

"Yeah, yeah! Oh, that? Master Kota, why are you here?

"I don't care how you say... I went up to report on the ship I was talking to you about the other day because I got some prospects..."

So, it just seems a little hard to say.

"The... Mr. Emily? Where's Sole?"

"... sole?

Hands over your head. Kota shows it by doing something like "Nappy Epilepsy" that the baby does. To that appearance, I frowned and peered into Kota's eyes as if I was just a little surprised.

"-! Chi, it's not! It's not!

When Emily saw herself in her eyes and quickly took the 'dog ear' she put on instead of her headdress, as she panicked, she threw it to the floor with all her strength.

"It's not! It's not, Master Coata! I didn't want to wear anything like this! But! My sister-in-law and Eliza were the nori! I couldn't refuse because I'm in trouble here, too! It's true! Because it's true!

"Oh, I don't know..."

"'From cat ears and stuff, Emily's a dog ear, isn't she?" I feel like a loyal dog, "your brother said! So, really, really, it's not like I wanted to!

"Okay! Because I get it! Okay, please let me go!

With tears in his eyes, Emily catches Kota's root and rocks back, forth, left, and right. Kota exclaims as she is shaken through her brain by a good feeling. I bowed my head as Emily let go of her arm as I noticed the words all the time.

"Also, I'm sorry to sit down, Master Courta!

Hota smiles bitterly as she shakes her head two or three times in an attempt to manage to restore her swinging brain and vision to normal.

"It's okay, I'm not angry."

"... I'm so sorry to sit down. Um... I'm upset. Only very close friends and your brother's family come to visit this house. If you are a friend, please contact us beforehand before coming, so..."

"I didn't hear from you today, so I thought it was Mr. Aloys?

"... Yes"

"Then it was my fault. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Yes, no! I will never sit down like that!

I smiled bitterly at Emily, who shook her hands left and right like she was in a panic, looking away from Emily, who lowered her head.

"... erm?

And behind such an emily, a gaze that stared at this one from the edge of the door 'Ji' and Kota's deviant gaze bumped into him.

"... go!" I... I missed you "or something, Coata, push you down! It's your chance, Emily!

"The Lord" in the true sense of the Becker family, Bianca Becker's gaze, puts "Usa Ear" on her head and does such a thing.

"... what are you talking about?"

Hota's sigh, which truly shrugged back, just fell to the doorway of the Becker family, which was not wide enough, and disappeared.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Why? What's wrong with you today, Mr. Courta? I'm pretty busy looking like this too. Well, you have to book a proper interview."

Bianca takes the cup of tea Emili brewed for me and says so and shows it with her cheek cane. Kota, who sat face to face, bowed his head to such a Bianca figure.

"Sorry, not enough consideration"

"Really. You know what, Coata? For once, if you're coming for a favor, let me know if you're coming, and I'll bring you one of the handicrafts, right? Well... the only skewers you brought me that you bought on Larchia Boulevard are finished skewers... and I can't even tell you what it is."

"No, I'm really sorry -"

"Why don't you even buy us one!

"- Ama... what?

"Beef skewers over there, even though they're really delicious! Not at all! Don't worry about it, Mr. Coata! Five or ten for a souvenir, you'll be buying 'Suzi'!

I had no idea.

I think so. Emili sitting next to Bianca's left bows her head small to Bianca, who slaps her hands against the table and holds her fist all the way up. If you're going to interpret the act, 'My sister-in-law is' arr 'and I'm really sorry'.

"... Mother, that's about it. Cauta, you're surprised, too. Besides... what is' I'm busy too '? I wonder if there's anything interesting today."

Bianca stood her index finger in front of her mouth, as she panicked, to Eliza's frightened words, which sat next to Bianca's right.

"Bullshit! Eliza, you can't say that! Even if it's a lie, you should put it down by saying 'I'm busy'! If you make them feel burdened, the negotiations will go in their favor!

Shoulder to shoulder with such a Bianca, Eliza pointed over Bianca's head - still a picky, moving Usa ear.

"In the first place... what are you saying about wearing something like that, Mother? Is that also a means to facilitate negotiations? It's not weird for some people to take their seats angrily saying, 'Don't be silly,' is it?

"Uh! No, 'cause... isn't that cute? This Rabbit."

"... think of the year, Mother. You're going to be thirty next year, right?

For Christ's sake, a blue muscle floats on Bianca's forehead at Eliza, shaking her neck to the left and right with her shoulders flaunted. Kota? Of course I'm leaving it behind. Mainly, spiritually.

"... hmm. That's what I'm saying, Eliza. Nothing. I don't give a shit about age, Ked? I don't know about kids who say that - Mother, do you think?"

"... what is that face?"

For once, Eliza looks at Bianca with an expression that is hard to describe as Niyaniya, as if she sees a suspicious person. Bianca is only floating at them for a moment, not a gaze that can be directed at her real daughter. but it's also for a moment.

"... Hey, Eliza? Which one do you want?

"Yes? Which, what?

"You've decided that!

That's what I say, I smile and talk.

"Which one do you prefer, brother or sister? Tomorrow, Aloys is off."

Have a bright family plan.

"Oh, sister-in-law! What are you saying to your nine-year-old!

"No, I knew you were my only child, so I thought you were too spoiled. If you have a brother or sister, Hola! I thought you might want to be a little more handsome. Even these rabbit ears are cute, and this would make Alois mull -"

"Sister-in-law!

"- No more! Emili is kathai ~ 'Cause this" King of Solvania Made and Chemo Ear Set "is pretty cute. Right, Coata? You think so too, don't you?

"... swing at me here?

"Thought I'd ask a man's opinion and put it down, too."

"I don't know how to answer it correctly, so I'm putting the answer on hold."

It only smells like an accident. To his crisis management abilities - not that he is otherwise good at it - Kota replied that way, adding words instead.

"Made by the King of Solvania, is it?

"They've been secretly fashionable in Solvania lately, this' chemo earset '. There are also many variations: rabbit ears, cat ears, dog ears, fox ears, etc. We don't dare to have almost all kinds, because we might be popular in Larchia from now on. If you like, Coata, how about you? Want me to let that cute girl wear it?

"I don't know who you're referring to.

"That's not cute. That's a way to escape, Mr. Coata. Well, Emily's a dog ear, isn't she? Theon is pretty much in the mood, so it's confirmed with cat ears. Princess Sonia... right, I'm sure she looks good in fox ears or something? He looks belly black."

"No, he said he looks belly black..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you rude to the fox? Nothing. The fox isn't hungry."

"... I don't want to anymore"

"Master Erica... what would look good on you ~? Turtle ears or something?

"Before I was surprised by the abundance of the lineup... why are you a turtle ear?

"You mean hard, you're similar. I'm not saying where." Wall ears "or something, but you don't have a raw hatred, wall ears."

……

"Ah! Do you have a choice of bread ears! It's soft, but I want to flatten it!

"... Now can I hear your apology?

"On a turtle? On the wall or bread?

"To Erica!

Bianca laughs in a strange way at Kota, who is preposterous. As he sighed at the appearance, Kota continued his words.

"... by the way, is there a 'tanuki ear'?

To that word, Bianca shows her face distorted with remorse just a little bit.

"You said 'almost' all kinds, right? The Becker Chamber of Trade and Industry was unable to purchase only" Tanuki Ear "."

"... not manufactured in the first place, or something?

"You have bread ears, don't you? I also have tanuki ears... they're the only ones that manufacture one set. Rumor has it, they've already decided who to turn up that Tanuki Ear."

"Ho."

"Anything, 'the woman who beat out the king of Solvania' or something. It's a pretty good year, that odisama. Is it the one who's old and thriving? I mean, I can't imagine the kind of beauty that would break the heart of that Solvanian king ~"

My information network is old too - what a shame about Bianca dropping her shoulders. It is the jaw, not the heart, that struck out.

"Well, if that's why you need it, I'll sell you as many as you want, okay? What do you say?"

"I forbid it. As things stand, there is no special need."

"Heh. You're loved, aren't you?

"... what does that mean?

"Sole, tell me? I don't mind if I say something... Eliza's here, and it's still daytime. Ah! I'll tell you without misunderstanding, because we're love love even in our tenth wedding year!

"I know you. And... With all due respect, I don't care."

Drop your shoulders like you're exhausted. Though Kota is not Emily next door.

"... oh, my God, I'm so sorry"

"No, not at all."

Take a breath.

"-No, please come and excuse me, but I wonder what kind of thing it is for boulders? I think Eliza's education might be good for you."

"I don't even have words for you to give back. My sister-in-law is a... runaway person. Perhaps..."

Emily, painful follow-up. Looking sideways at him like that, Eliza called out to the opposite Kota.

"... Hey, Mr. Coata?

"Yes?"

"I don't know very well from earlier... whether I'd rather have a brother or sister, or an old man thriving, or a father or mother... who loves each other, what the hell isn't good enough for my education?

……

"Mr. Kono will bring it to you, won't he? I hope your sister has an Emily sister...... I wanted a brother or sister so I would be very happy to do so. With regard to the King of Solvania, doesn't being old and still thriving mean you have an uplifting attitude over the years? Your father and mother... well, it's too much, but still, it's wonderful to get along, isn't it? What's so bad about education?

Do you know what I'm saying, or is this parent and child dependent on killing Kota? Mainly, socially.

"... will Eliza stay put, please?

"... Huh? I don't know...?

Cohon and cough one with a gaze at Eliza with a question mark on her head like Grandpa sees his grandson. Kota turned her gaze to Bianca.

"Back to the story - that's strange, though. Anyway, that's why I'm here today."

"Is that it? Are we getting down to business yet? Don't you think I'd enjoy some more small talk?

"Leave it alone if it's Petite... are you busy? At least not as much as I can blame for not making an appointment."

"Take it to the roots. Well, it's time for Aloys to come back and finish the conversation early."

That's what I said, I leaned down for a moment.

"- Shall we begin, then, with 'business talks'?"

I showed you the other day, shooting gaze at Kota.

"… our Rondo de Terra territory is currently in the process of constructing a commercial port. It will take some time to complete, but the construction itself is going well"

"I know you."

"A 'port' is a box and you need to end up operating that port in a useful way to get there. Originally, as far as we were concerned, we were thinking about business in terms of port royalties. But..."

"Dear Coata Matussillo,"

"- Yes?"

"Time is finite. succinctly."

One sigh of sighing with a shoulder over Bianca's words as he cut them off.

"We crave the 'ship'. To make the most of the port. A ship for that matter."

"So?"

"Madam President of the Becker Chamber of Trade and Commerce, Dear Bianca Becker. We would like to ask you - the Becker Trading Chamber - to place an order for the ship. Budget is per ship, five for 100,000 white gold coins"

"... half a million sheets, is it? With all due respect, that's an unexpectedly big business."

"We have already received an inner acceptance from the Kingdom of Flame for the subscription of local bonds. Don't worry about the funds."

With that said, sip a full warmed cup of tea and wait for Bianca's response.

"A ship in a bite, though there are many different kinds?

"I'll take care of that area. Build a ship that won't sink, which will be completed within your budget."

"Becker's ship is also storm-resistant. What will you do with the quote? If it's five ships, it'll take a little time."

Nicole and laughter at Bianca's words like that.

"Not required"

Bianca's cheek picks up.

"... ho"

"I can't give you more than a budget, but as long as it's in the budget... well, I'm not saying it in a bad way, but you can 'mess with me'"

"... May I? Don't hesitate if they say so, 'I'm coming'?

"Because it's the Becker Trade Chamber. Sometimes I don't expect to be so unscrupulous... well, naturally in return"

"... casting rights, right?

"Whatever."

Bianca and Hota's gaze tangle across the table. After such a clogging time, he raised his hands as Bianca surrendered.

"- No, you're here, Mr. Coata! You were moving more than I expected ~"

"Thank you."

"For once, I'm from the Becker family. There were quite a few people who tried to distract themselves in various ways ~. Money, status, honor... and when it was terrible, they said, 'Isn't it nice to be young sometimes?' Cause he sent a guy."

"That's... kind of easy to imagine Mr. Bianca's behavior"

"'There's no man more than Aloise!' I did it in hot water. Because I'm angry. Well, that's why I got all kinds of bribes..."

That's what I said, laughing funny.

"... I've never had five ships or half a million 'bribes' before."

"Nothing, I don't mean to bribe you? The ship itself wants you to make something solid, right? I don't need you to sink right away."

"If it sinks soon, it will involve our credibility. I'm not going to do such a clueless job... but I can usually make you cut the price until you get a phase quote. It's a very lucrative job without it, here. Just enough to make you a little worried, huh?

"And my name is?

"It's not an easy business for amateurs to get their hands on," he said.

"Does that have to do with paying for shipbuilding?

"You're talking about my precious sister-in-law's place of work, right?

To Bianca's words, Kota sighed one shoulder down.

"... cleverly around... well, I wish I could,"

"Right. There's Princess Sonia, the Virgin, the head researcher at the Academy, isn't there, Terra? I feel like I'm getting smart around here."

"I hope so, I hope. So? Can I get the answer today?

"Of course. Let me answer this right now."

That's what I said, smile at Nicole.

"As the Becker Trading Chamber - that, you can't order. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like to place an order elsewhere."

A completely different word from Kota's prediction came out of Bianca's mouth.

"... why?

"I told you the other day, it's not that easy to let go of a currency issue right. I have all sorts of marks."

"... but it's 500,000 pieces in white gold coins, right? Isn't that profitable enough?

"Well, it depends on the way you think, huh? I guess it's not money, like this. Sure, I want you to bring the 'profit'... well, it's a long way off, but I think I said it. But you know what? I'm not saying I want the money for the moment."

"... half a million pieces in a moment, do you say?

"We're a thousand years old Chamber of Commerce, aren't we? If you divide it by a thousand, it's half a million pieces of white gold."

……

"The credit and pride I've spent a thousand years building... right, you can't give up half a million pieces of 'ginger' white gold coins, can you, Coata? Money doesn't buy credit or pride."

Say that again, Nicole. Pampered in front of the dazzling Hota, and twice struck his hand to show.

"Well, is that why we didn't have to talk about this one? And I'll put in an apology for this as' mother '. Apparently Eliza was working a little too..."

That's what I say, I turn my gaze to Eliza. You didn't think I'd say no, show Eliza a tough face that pales her face.

"- Don't be ridiculous. Eliza, are you selling the Beckers for 'money'?

Strengthen yourself, Eliza. Seeing him like that, Bianca exhaled a deep deep sigh.

"Sort of? I wish I had something more important than the Beckers. I've never met him before, and I don't have to apologize to my ancestors a thousand years ago. Still, the idea of" gold "is a bit short-circuited, Mother, it's pathetic."

"We are -! Well, we are not!

"So do you, Coata. It's too licky to think the Beckers fall with the money. It's worse than using Emily."

……

"Well, maybe it's because I didn't say it right around here either, Ked... anyway, that's what I'm talking about. Oh! By the way, I'll take as many shipbuilding orders as I want without the right to issue currency? The job itself is delicious. Of course, I'll make a good boat to show you, sir."

Bianca laughing and showing in a teared breeze saying so. Drop your shoulders and take a seat when there is no response from the three of you: Hota, Emily, and Eliza.

"... are there any such clever stories about boulders? Do whatever you want around here."

Kota shook his head left and right in silence to Bianca's words that he would like to re-brew even tea. The sound of knocking on the front door struck Kouta in the ear where he sighed deeply once more at the appearance.

"Oh? Aloise, I wonder if you're home."

"... ah! Oh, sister-in-law! I..."

"Nice is nice. I'll pick you up when you get up."

He controls Emili, who rushes to take his seat, and Bianca lightly walks the journey to the front door. Seeing that figure disappear completely outdoors, Eliza bowed her head.

"... I'm sorry, I won't sit"

"... No, it's not Mr. Eliza's fault. Me too...... right, my thoughts were sweet. I immediately thought of money when it came to profits."

"Me too... the..."

Hand control Emily trying to keep her head down like she's in trouble.

"Mr. Emili isn't any worse. This... well, that's right. It's my mistake. Anyway, I'll work out a good afterthought. Erica, Ayano, and Theon... talk to Lotte later. Maybe he can drop another chamber of commerce."

That's what Kota says and bites his lips off with regret. As it is, I stand silently, seeping bitter reluctance in my expression.

"As Bianca said, time is finite. Emily, Eliza, I'm so sorry to bother you, but I'll be free."

"Ah...... yes! Then drop me off at the front door."

"Ma, wait!

Like blocking Emily's words, it's unusual - unusual for Bianca at any hour, a chopped voice echoes the Becker family apartment. To that voice, which was not unusual, not only Hota, but Emily and Eliza also consolidated themselves.

"Ma, wait! The... well, yes! It's a little messy now!

"I don't mind. I was the one who visited him suddenly. I know Bianca is doing well for me. Sometimes you'll need to breathe. Rather, it's better to be human."

"Oh, no... uh!

with the voice of Bianca slowly approaching.

"Ho, because I'm really embarrassed!

"You say you don't mind, Bianca. Never mind."

Another voice you can hear at the same time. The door of the room opened when Kota twisted his neck in the voice.

"- Really, wait!" Father-in-law "!

Bianca's voice sounds indoors.

"……………………………………?

At the same time, Emily stretched herself.
