The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

The next day from the 'meeting' at the main house of the Burkhardt family. To clean up the work that had accumulated, he entered the bed at a time closer to 'dawn' than to say 'midnight' already, but still, Kitin and Klaus woke up in the morning for a light breakfast on Holy King's Street before heading to the Royal Castle on that foot. Security within the royal castle is… well, it's perfect, even with its manpower, but Klaus and the leading candidate for the next chairman of 'Hotel Larchia'. When I entered the royal castle on a free pass in exchange for two or three words with a familiar guard, I headed to the room given to Theon Baumgarden on that foot. Knock with conconcon three times. Shoulder to shoulder with a Scion like voice called 'Take It On Your Own', Klaus opens the door to the room.

"... whenever you come... I mean, it's been a long time, isn't it, Theon? A little room, why don't we clean it up?

"We're wasting time cleaning up the room. Time is finite."

At the right edge of the room, finger the diagonal of the room with the left hand of the person whom Zion does not have a pen as he continues to work towards the desk, which is barely placed in that empty space.

"It was just fine. If you're free, you can help me."

"... help?

To Theon's voice and tricks, Klaus sends his gaze to you as he is told. At the tip of Zion's finger, there are scattered female objects and thoughtful underwear, and Klaus unwittingly takes his gaze off - as it were, stares.

"............... what are you doing, Mr. Coata?

"... Ki, does it even look like you're doing muscle trenches... Shh, sorry, Mr. Klaus! Oh, can you help me!

I saw Kota desperately supporting the costume shelves that were still going to fall. "Oh, is that why Theon's underwear is scattered all over the floor," Klaus, who had a misplaced sentiment and reconsidered that it was not there, rushed to Kota's side.

"So, are you okay, Coata? - Oh, yeah! What's in there, here!

"Shh, I'm sorry. Thanks for your help."

"No...... I can't believe it, let's get this back. We'll both be crushed like this. Let's go, right? Let's go!

The two of us breathe together and take the costume shelf back to its original position. After releasing his fearful hand and exhaling a sigh of relief at not moving, Klaus glared at Zito with his eyes.

"... you know, Theon? Whatever the reason, I don't know if I'm a little bit of a person to leave someone underneath in the corner of the room?

"That costume shelf was bought by my father for my inauguration as chief researcher. I don't like it, it's pricey luxury stuff there. It is also well made so it can be used for a long time, but heavy for that matter"

"... so?

"Klaus and Coata, you two managed to get lifted this way, didn't you? It's just one to two more people going undercover where I went to help."

"... no... well, that's... but! Then at least call for help or something!

"I thought about that too... but? Look at what's going on in this room right now. See?

Klaus also looks indoors so that Scion can catch him looking indoors.

"... what do you say?

"Terrible, as always"

"That's a difference of interpretation there. I'm not itching in this room...... but well that's not the problem. You want to see what's going on? In my room, alone, underwear scattered all over the floor, right? A stranger sees this, and what the hell do you think?

"... how..."

"There are two men and women in a small room, scattered underwear on the floor, a man who roughs his breath. If I say 'Yikes', Holla, you can do it, right?

Kota dies. Mainly, in a social sense.

……

That's what I thought. Klaus, who pushed silently, shows Kota his merciful eyes. After such a glance, Kota shook her neck left and right with a dry grin.

"... couldn't you run away?

"I think I probably could... but right? When they bought this costume shelf, Mr. Theon, they said they didn't even want it to be dowry. Then your father said, 'Well, Theon, you can't buy it up after all this time...' and when you hear that, you're too pitiful to hurt me."

……

Klaus, there are no words. I was listening to my father Theon's lecture at the University of Larchia myself. Hands in my heart to Professor Baumgarden, unlike Theon, who was a good man of common sense, and Klaus coughs up one to show.

"As it were, well, anyway! It was just good to have Mr. Coata around. Yesterday, I came to dinner with Adolf Burkhardt, chairman of Hotel Larchia."

"It's your stepfather, isn't it? What are you talking about like you took it and followed it?"

"... you have style beauty, don't you, Theon? Well, so we talked and saw about yesterday. It's not about coins, it's about the benefits of doing business with banknotes."

Kouta breathes in Klaus' words. I looked at Kota like that with a chillary look on his side, and showed him his nose sounding boring like Zion.

"So? How did it turn out?

"In conclusion, it didn't work"

"I guess. As expected."

Theon responds to Klaus' words like nothing. Kota followed up on such a scion in a hurry.

"Mr. Scion! Shh, I'm sorry, Mr. Klaus. And thank you. Please break my bones."

"No, I'm talking about Scion, and I don't care."

Klaus replies so bitterly, laughing at all of that, as he himself put it, without looking greatly concerned about it.

"You're not more thankful than you have no results, are you?

"Yes, no! That's not true!

"Well, and? If you want to thank me anyway, please do so later."

Say that, take a breath.

"Chairman, they're going to see you. It doesn't matter if it's today or tomorrow."

Kouta smiles at Klaus, who says so and laughs at him.

"... thank you, Mr. Klaus. Thank you for your time."

"No, I didn't do anything wrong."

"Right. Klaus just ate."

"Mr. Scion!

Kota's reprimand is only slightly stronger than earlier. It was Klaus who raised one hand to the voice.

"Yes, Mr. Coata."

"Mr. Klaus... but..."

"We've known each other a long time. It's when Theon says' oh yeah 'I appreciate it. He's the only person in heaven and below, but he's not the one who can't' thank 'him. That's a good percentage."

……

"Mr. Coata? What's the matter, subtle face?"

"No... I wonder how hard it is to understand, It just sounded like I was cursing you?

"... that's what they say... but, Mr. Coata? Theon looks like this and also really solid.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Klaus, use your strength to say it all. To Klaus like that, Theon is out of his mind! I turned my gaze all the time.

"What are you talking about? Even if I look like this, I'm a solid person, right?

""..................... Huh?

"... why the hammer, you guys. Especially Klaus, you said it. Think about it. See? I... yeah. I concede a hundred steps to admit that my private life isn't sloppy, but do you really think that if I stayed on top of everything I could, I'd have a chief researcher? I don't know what to say to myself, but the position of chief researcher is very important to proportions."

"... Indeed"

Kota also sees how Shion works. I know what you're saying isn't strong or wrong. I know, but... somehow, I'm not convinced.

"Well, that doesn't matter. What more did you tell Mr. Adolph, Klaus?

"What kind of story?

"I guess Klaus, who's closer than me or Coata, persuaded you not to? Then it wouldn't make sense if I or Coata didn't go at a different cut from that?

"Oh, that's the thing. I explained the benefits of introducing banknotes... the results, as I said earlier, are disastrous. In the first place, we have little merit in introducing banknotes. So..."

"Again."

"- Fine... what?

To Theon's words, Klaus closes his mouth and sees Theon. Theon took over the words as he saw that face with a question mark on his head.

"I also hold the position of chief researcher. The chief researcher is literally a person who does' research '. And I need to publish the results of that research. This is my job."

"Is that it?

"There are only two things roughly apart from assembling an argument. Make a general comment, then make a theory, or make a theory, then assemble it and make it a general comment."

"Er...?

"The presentation of individual benefits from the introduction of banknotes means, in other words, making theories. To the underlying theories of convenience to carry, of low transportation costs, for example, the theories of family love if you are a Becker family, of honor greed if you are a Ritz, and of the write-off of your stupid son if you are a Roat Chamber of Commerce. Each theory that if it is the Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce, it cannot defy Lotte Ong. Put them together and turn them into" general remarks. "

"... like, are we talking about making it from the top or from the bottom?

Nodding small at Kota's words, Theon continues his words.

"For the four chambers of commerce that I raised earlier, I think it would be good to assemble each theory. By building up one theory at a time, we can put up some compelling arguments."

"I can't do this to Hotel Larchia," he said? Because that's what Mr. Theon says?

"Root theories do not exist in Hotel Larchia in the first place. More precisely, the underlying theories are just very thin, not by any means... well, there is no greater difference between either than Mr Adolphe does not consider it a benefit. In addition, the Burkhardt family does not have its own theories. Well, except for Ritz... as I said earlier," All theories. "

"... talking about Scion earlier, is that a good thing, right?

"Of course it's nice, Klaus. The fact that the problem is not solved by doing this means that there is no imminent problem. I think that's a happy thing to do as a business owner, as a head of a family, right?

That makes the conversation more difficult, but he sighs with his shoulders up.

"Well, that's good. I don't want to be someone who delights in people's misfortune. Let's get back to it. It is often not possible to assemble an argument in the manner in which the argument is structured from the earlier theories. In fact, sometimes a single experiment fails to complete a paper."

"As it stands, is that what Theon wants to say?

"That's the thing. So change the configuration. Let's make it from the top and see."

That said, Theon turns his gaze to Kota.

"Coata? We want to do 'what'?

"Instead of introducing a banknote economy…, it's precisely the transfer of the royal palace of the right to issue currency, isn't it?

"That's right. So, if there is, there is. It is also necessary to merely preach the advantages of agreeing to the transfer of the King's Palace."

……

"Don't you see? If the King's Palace is transferred eventually, it will be fine. Then, instead of preaching the advantages of agreeing, can we preach 'the disadvantages of opposing the transfer of the royal palace of the right to issue currency'?

To Theon's words, Klaus whispers' Ah '. To the voice, Theon nodded satisfactorily.

"... I can tell you in front of Klaus that... there is only one way to do this in Hotel Larchia, where there are no weaknesses like other chambers of commerce. In that case, it would be easier to assemble the argument."

That said, Theon sees Klaus.

"What do you say, Klaus? What the hell is the downside to Hotel Larchia's 'disapproval' of this transfer of the royal palace of currency issuance rights?

"… the convenience of circulation with banknotes cannot be an advantage, so vice versa… there is plenty of room in the vault, so there is nothing wrong with coins…"

"More... right, there would be a 'root' problem, wouldn't there?

"... root problem?

"Don't you see? What kind of hotel is Hotel Larchia?

"What do you mean... you think it's a super luxury hotel, Kedo, who seems to be self-admiring and has a bad kanji?

"That's right. There are many wealthy people in the customer base, and it's a 'royalty' hotel. Great facilities and good service. If it's a hotel like that, I'd agree with you without a stake."

"... Hi. That's what Theon thinks."

"Naturally. I'm a Flame Kingdomman, too. And Klaus, whose idea do you think this King's Palace transfer was?

"Whose... That's..."

Say it.

"... of Lotte Ong. - Eh!

Klaus realizes what Theon is trying to say.

"... have you noticed?

Show Klaus, stunned, that Scion distorts the edge of his nibble and mouth.

"That's right. This idea is that of Lotte Baumgarden, 'Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Flame'. And Lotte Ong and our dear queen, when it comes to two, it's between cars, isn't it? Your Majesty himself, may I say that I am interested in this idea"

……

"Hotel Larchia's services are superb. I think it is equally superb for meals and equipment. Think about it, Klaus. Nothing is the only piece of furniture at the Hotel Larchia, whether it's first-class service, first-class meals or first-class amenities? There are hotels in Westria, in Solvania, in Laurent and in Hotel Larchia that offer inferior but good service. Still, everyone wants to stay at Hotel Larchia... what do you think is enough Hotel Larchia?

"... It's a 'royalty' sign, you say?

"Of course, I'm not saying that's the only Uri in Hotel Larchia. As I was saying, if there are hundreds of other hotels, Hotel Larchia is one hundred and twenty. But still, don't you think that the royal servants'... 'Buy Her Majesty's Unhappiness' is a purely disadvantage?

With that said, Klaus felt the cold sweat flowing down his back on Zion, staring at him.

What Theon is saying is basically correct. Although Hotel Larchia's services are naturally top notch in Hotel Larchia's uri, there is no doubt that "Her Majesty also stayed in the room" is a kind of status. There is essentially no difference between hotels that make "Who's the Artist in the Room It Stayed in" and hotels that make "Who's the Artist in the Room It Stayed in" and confectioneries that make "Who's the Artist in the Artist It's Favorite".

"Hotel Larchia takes no account of the possibility of being turned to Soppo by Her Majesty the Queen. Because the Hotel Larchia has been for two hundred and fifty years and is a boarding house for the 'Kingdom of Flame'. I don't even think about letting go of that status. Didn't I?"

"... no"

"I can sell thanks to Lotte Ong, it's not. It is important not to buy grudges from Lotte Ong. Avoidance of disadvantages, even this one would be 'pros' enough, right?

Talking that far, I take my gaze off Klaus, who is surprised by the sweat, and I turn that gaze to Kota.

"What do you think, Coata?

"Very personally, but... I disagree"

"... Hmm? Reason?"

"Broadly divided, two. One is that 'royalty' is something that the royal family inherently likes... isn't this the right way to say it, it won't be the thing that will get you in a good mood. We see quality as a title that can be given as collateral. That would undo it because it was opposed to policy, then it would scratch the royal glory of Flame. And... I don't think His Majesty would commit such a foolishness?

"If you dare to speak with understanding of disrespect, say Your Majesty the Queen. None of them are saintly princes. A raucous young maiden, and a raucous young maiden at all times, is an outrageous thing. Especially since we started Lotte Ong, we're moving all the way to Erica. Deal? I love my sister. You don't think this majesty will allow me to go ahead and obstruct my sister's wishes?

Sion's words like trying. Kota shook his head at the words and showed them.

"I think?

Vertically. Tell them you're young. Liz is Her Majesty. In every country, every era, matters concerning merit are handled with caution. Even though I haven't spent that much time, I also know about Liz's people and Nari, and I don't think I have earned the prize imperative from such Hota, and I think I know the strength and use of my influence. Above all, I don't think 'that' Lotte would allow such recklessness.

"I ask you the other way...... does Mr. Scion think so? You think His Majesty or Mr. Lotte would punish Hotel Larchia that easily?

The position is swapped. Theon shook his shoulders at the words of Hauta.

"Well, let's change the way we say it. Punish Hotel Larchia 'if you want' good"

"... Hmm?

"I'm Liz's educational guide, and I'm a relative of Lotte Ong, albeit remotely. In addition, I myself hold the position of Principal Fellow of the Academy. I don't think you have any influence over my words, Coata?

"... I mean, 'Bluff'?

"In kind."

"... I don't think it's a very good hobby, huh?

"The tip is the way we did it at your management meeting at Hotel Larchia, right? Typical 'Don't You Say'."

That's what Theon says. He takes a bunch of paper he keeps on his desk and shakes it like a leech and shows it.

"This is a list of possible 'disadvantages' if Hotel Larchia 'disagrees'. Whether this isn't everything or not, I'm going to use this to negotiate. What, Coata? I don't mind if it's not your thing. It's just something I do. So, listen, why don't we put it down? I said two, but what about the other?

"It's a project that will also be a state business. Even if it's hard for all of us to agree, we really want to be careful what we say and do to be perceived as' threatened '."

"Which way, the other way out. I'm not threatening you with that. I'm going to suggest that a better future can be built if we agree."

That's what I say, laugh and show him, and Theon turns to Klaus.

"Don't worry about that, Klaus. I don't make it bad. Coata, what are your plans for today?

"No... especially"

"Good hurries. Klaus, I'm sorry about today's... right, can you tell me if you want to join me for dinner? Right... let me contribute a little bit to sales. I wish I could use the restaurant upstairs... are you free?

"I have an appointment available... So, but, Theon?

"Don't say it again and again. I'm not gonna make it bad."

Saying so, Theon grinned.

- Come on, let's fight back.

I turned that grin into a fierce thing.
