The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

In the corner of the Royal Castle of Larchia, dubbed 'wide in vain' by Zion, is the headquarters of the Wang Capital Commercial Federation. There is no objection whatsoever to letting an organization use the royal castle "at will", even if it is a prestigious mutual aid organization in the Kingdom of Flame, which holds the right to cast money - yet, we are not fortunate that the scene will dispute whether the predecessor of the Kingdom of Flame, the history of the headquarters of this commercial federation, which dates from the period of the Empire of Flame, all have a certain respect.

"... that? I thought we were the last ones, but we're not."

A woman with a giggly opening of the door that stretches to the height ceiling, the deepest part of such a Wangdu Commercial Federation headquarters, runs the gaze of seven people sitting at a round table and leans her neck. With a frivolous look on such a woman, a magnificent man lowered his hips next to the seat furthest from the door gave him one tongue-in-cheek with an abomination.

"... where do you know this place, little girl?

"Where... is the Nine-Person Committee meeting room at the headquarters of the Wangdu Commercial Federation? What, Fernando? Are you bogged down?

"I don't want to mess with you! Little girl, as you said, this is the meeting room of the Committee of Nine! Only that member of the Committee of Nine can get in!

"... Behind you, look before you say it, okay?

"'This' is the only secretary! What? 'Becker' was going to send two people to the nine-member committee!

A man calling 'this' an aged beauty who refrains from behind, a woman in the words of Fernando Chamber of Commerce President Cromwell Fernando, one of the nine-member committees - Bianca Becker looks sleepy as a partner standing at the door with her shoulders clasped.

"Then I'm a secretary, too. Only today, I'm Aloys' secretary."

"That kind of reasoning makes sense!

"That's not rational."

"Reason! That's how you're going to push it off!

Bianca sighs and shows Fernando, who throws up like that. And I heard a laugh coming from the left side of the round table.

"Hahaha! Well, that's good, Fernando. Hey, Bianca's lady? Oh, you don't want to push the argument forward, do you?

"Of course, Uncle Antonio. And, uncle? I'm 29, aren't I? Even though I have a daughter, 'Miss' is a little..."

"It means you look so young. Hey, Aloise? Oh, 'cause your wife would be better off young, wouldn't she?

"I am confident that I will love and show any Bianca... well, it is a blessing to see a naive Bianca"

A heartmark flies in Bianca's eyes at Aloys, who has been sarcastically in love. After looking funny at him like that, Antonio Roto turned his gaze to Fernando.

"Well, I know how you feel, Ked, don't you? We're saying 'Committee of Nine', but that's because 'Becker' is missing one head, right? If you two came from Becker like that, don't even rush me, huh?

"Oh, I'm in no hurry! What I'm saying is, this is what happens when a traditional nine-member committee meeting is flouted!

"Oh, okay, okay. Hey, Bianca's lady? Hartmark, that's about it to fly, and don't you dare do the flowers on the wall. That's okay, so?

"Yes. Meeting as I look behind the head of my beloved Alois...... Ugh"

"... eh, on the boulder. Well fine......"

Simultaneously with Antonio's words, the door opens with a sound again. Antonio laughed casually at the person with his face out of it.

"Oh, Adolph. Too late for that, huh?

"I'm sorry. A little, the job was getting in. Are we all set now?

Diving the door, the seven seats buried and the iros in front of him...... and showing Antonio shaking his neck left and right to Adolf, who said so with a glimpse of Bianca creating a pink atmosphere with a hug on Iros' arm.

"Ainya. I have a special guest coming today. When they get here..."

Adolph controls Antonio with his hands.

"I happen to see you there."

That's what I said. Adolph turning his gaze back. Everyone looks behind Adolphe and into the door entrance so they can get stuck.

"- Apparently, we're the last ones, Lord Matsuyoshi."

"Sounds like it, Mr. Lotte"

Diving the entrance side by side, I saw Lotte and Hota.

"... hmm"

To those two, Fernando turns that way, with his eyes blatantly filled with the colour of contempt. Staring bitterly at the appearance, Aloyce opened her mouth.

"Well... so it looks like you're all aligned, then? Was I indeed the speaker of the day? So long, gentlemen."

That's what I said, look around the room.

"- Shall we get started?" The Committee of Nine. "

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

At the Wang Metropolitan Commercial Federation, the most "heavy" project has been at the end of the agenda for some time. In the past, it is a rule that has been decided with the meaning of reflection on the fact that the debate was so disputed that subsequent meetings could not be held.

"... Well"

Confirming that several agendas have been approved unanimously, Aloys, in his role as chairman, looks indoors. He twisted the edge of his mouth slightly to a nervous face, a disgruntled face, a face that just told him to end quickly, and a variety of face-floating members, and turned his gaze to the old man in the lower seat, who nestled in a tattered manner.

"... Thank you very much for your patience, Lotte sir"

"What, this is what I asked you to do. It won't be bitter to wait."

With that said, Lotte rises loosely from her chair. A laugh sounded like a tear from an old man sitting next to Adolph, opposite Cromwell Fernando, at Lotte, who stops and upright that step at the side of the round table with a firm foothold as it was.

"Hiccup. Lotte, aren't you getting old, too? Are you sure you want to stay standing? You want me to bring you a chair?

"Don't worry, Lord Wrights. Oh, yeah, yeah. Lord Wrights was married the other day, wasn't he? I remember you were a few years older than me... but I heard you were a beautiful woman under sixty? No, you're old and thriving, right? Sorry for the delay in the celebration."

"Hiccup! I don't know how many dozens of marriages I've already had. I don't need any more blessings. Better than that, Lotte? Shall I introduce you to the bachelor? All my daughter-in-law friends are young and beautiful, aren't they?

"Let me make you feel at home, Lord Wrights."

That's how I say my gaze, Wrights - I turn my gaze from Rodriguez Wrights, president of the Wrights Cereal Chamber of Commerce, who boasts the high handling of the best cereals in Orkena, to faces sitting off the round table.

"... well, gentlemen. I sincerely apologize for taking the time to hear your suggestion from our Wang Fu today. I would also like to thank you for creating such an opportunity. My dear Queen, I am truly delighted and look forward to hearing from you."

"Your entrustment is fine, My Lord Lotte"

Fernando blocks the talking lotte. Lotte continued her words with a small shoulder in the tone of the words and all that she had to say was' get to the point quickly '.

"Shall we get to the point, Lord Fernando? As the Kingdom of Flame, we are thinking of a massive shift in the monetary system. Specifically, the conversion from a current coin to a paper 'banknote'."

Once the words were cut, Lotte glanced through the room.

"... Aren't you surprised?

"No way, Lord Lotte? You thought you'd just move to 'flashy' and put it away and not be noticed? There's no reason."

Lotte smiles small and bitter at Fernando, who hums his nose.

"That's 'no way'. I thought you'd been noticed. But I thought it was still surprising how beautiful it was?

"Crap."

"That's true. Now let's get down to business. There are roughly two changes to the monetary system. One is the conversion from coin to banknote, as I said earlier. And one more thing. With our royal palace, you now have the" right to issue currency, "this one..."

Take a breath.

"... right. I was wondering if you could do it.

Fernando snorts for a moment at the excess whiteness of the word. Such a glimpse of Fernando, a man about the same age as Fernando sitting next to him - Berdan Chamber of Commerce President, James Berdan opened his mouth.

"As far as the issue of banknotes is concerned, well, it would be good. But the right to issue currency is a natural right granted to us, the Wang Metropolitan Commercial Federation. I can't deprive you of that right at the same time, can I?

"I will not sit on my side, Lord Berdan. This sits on the formal decision of my 'Kingdom of Flame'. You and your commercial federations... well, that's what you want us to do, to give you back the right to issue the currency you deposited, right?

Entitlement to what was originally 'deposited' belongs to the original owner. In this case, the right to issue a currency is more than a state business in itself. If the owner tells you to return it, it is the muscle.

"Hmm, what's 'I was keeping'? That was a thousand years ago, right? Now does the logic of" I kept it "make sense?"

but it is common for the world not to do so inside. Especially the rights I've had for a thousand years. It's not an easy thing to give back when you tell me to. Therefore, vested interests do not disappear.

"I can't give you back," he said?

"Right. The right to issue currency is a testament to the superiority of the Wangdu Commercial Federation over any other mutual aid organization. More importantly, we, the" merchants ", who are not members of the aristocratic class, are the only means of shaking the major players and engaging in national politics. If you say so, it's our 'pride'."

"Half the king's palace is civilian, and I'm a civilian myself, right? And the commander of the Westerners."

"Not everyone can flourish like you. Especially if you're not a learned person."

With that said, turn your gaze to Chirali and the man next door - Benjamin Syria, president of the Rules Trade Chamber. Syria, pointing at him, flaunted his shoulders and sighed one.

"Sort of. I'm a monster looking over the ocean all year round. I can read hard, but I can't argue as hard as His Highness the Chancellor."

"... Lord Syria was a former fisherman."

"Whoa. Now it's time for our Chamber of Commerce to come in with some talented graduates from the University of Larchia, right? When I created this Chamber of Commerce, it was almost a fisherman's gathering, wasn't it?

That's what Syria, with enough muscle to tell from the top of her clothes, laughs happily. Lotte narrowed her eyes like she saw something dazzling, glaring bright white teeth from a tan shallow black face.

"Well, I don't know how hard it is, do I? Still around the corner, even for me... country politics? Because it involves you, right? I knew you'd disagree, you know."

In that word of Syria, a delightful colour floats in Fernando's face. Berdan and Fernando, distracted by the two endorsers, pointed their gaze straight at Wrights.

"... what about Lord Wrights?

"I don't care if you disagree. Like Berdan said, you don't approve of turning coins into banknotes? Issue the right to issue currency. It's not outside the theory. I'm not gonna talk about it."

After saying that without biting, Wrights pointed his glaring eyes at Aloys. A boulder, an old body that was still thriving beyond seventy, and an ordinary man could atrophy under its energetic gaze, but Alois smiled quietly, motionless.

"I - you agree with Lord Lotte's proposal."

"Aloise, you! We're going to betray the Committee of Nine! Are you going to say you don't know 'nobility', civilian pride, etc!

Fernando bites and shows at Aloys' words. Bianca opened her mouth with such a glance at Fernando.

"For once, Fernando? Because this is officially your decision as the 'Becker family'? Besides, Aloys is definitely a nobleman... because now, he's a Becker family person. Weird argument, will you stop it?

comes a bitter smile at Bianca, who is likely to even hear a roar, and Aloys takes the word.

"Sure, I was born a nobleman, but I was already a Becker person at the time I joined the Becker family as son-in-law. I don't mean to scorn the pride of the Committee of Nine... but realistically, I feel the limits in the commerce of coins."

"Neither do we say the note itself is the opposite! It just wouldn't be nice if we did that! Why do we have to give the royal palace the right to issue currency!

"It was originally within the authority of the Wang Fu, but the right to issue currency. Well, anyway...... so who the hell does it? the 'issue' of that banknote."

"Who... you say?

"We're going to create a new one, with the Kingdom of Flame... and just a note for circulation to the Kingdom of Larchia that uses Flame coins, right? I'm sure it'll be a huge amount. Besides, it's a 'paper' note that, unlike coins, would be easy to counterfeit. I don't like it, me. I don't want to do such a responsible job."

"Uh, so am I regarding that. Whatever the coin is, you can't make pieces of paper."

That's what Antonio says and shows, as he agrees with Aloys. I turn my eyes to the point where I think I can kill people with my gaze. but also for a moment, that gaze was immediately deflected by the man beside Antonio.

"What about Hotel Larchia! You agree with this proposal!

to Adolf, who was meditating with his arms together. Taking the word, Adolf slowly opened his eyes.

"… indeed the merchant of banknotes is not attractive. It's not like there's any benefit to taking it to Hotel Larchia."

"Oh my God! So..."

"But..."

To block Fernando's words, Adolph turned his gaze to Lotte… and behind him, Hota, sitting near the door.

"... I'm sorry. Hotel Larchia can't agree to this proposal."

"Heh... heh... haha! Right! Right! A prestigious hotel for boulders and kingdoms! You're well acquainted!

As soon as possible, Fernando grins as he is in a good mood. As it was, I pointed my gaze in a different direction.

"Lord Adolph disagrees...... Baumgarden! What about Baumgarden! Is Baumgarden in favour of this - 'taking away the right to issue currency from us' agenda!

Asked, is the magnificent man who ever sat like a figurine the habit of this man, smiling and twisting his neck small to the right? Slowly open your mouth as noble as it is.

"Whatever, I agree. It is the life of His Excellency Lotte."

Speak the word firmly so as to contradict its appearance.

"~ ~! You're still the president of the Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce! Have a good year and be afraid of this uncle by then!

A powerful man named to the Committee of Nine is so rambling that it is not a good word to say it roughly in his mouth. It's not strange to be angry. I got those words, and still Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce president, Carad Baumgarden, replied without breaking his gentle grin.

"My father, Lyon Baumgarden, the previous Chairman and brother of His Excellency Lotte, left this behind during his death. 'Look, Carado. Whatever lies ahead, don't just defy Lotte'. It's my father's will, so I'm sorry, Lord Fernando."

With that said, did you think that would be a little short? Carad Baumgarden carries on the words.

"… besides, I agree with the very idea of issuing banknotes in lieu of your currency. Whatever you say, there are limits to what you do with coins. And like the Becker Trading Chamber, our Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce cannot afford to allocate personnel to such operations. If you're going to do it responsibly in the King's Palace, that's fine."

"Ki, you!

"Regardless, counterfeiting will require some consideration…"

That's what I said and gaze at Chirali - I turn to Kota, who hasn't opened his mouth once since this meeting began.

"- Well, the Lord of the Demons of Rondo de Terra, who will be there, will do it cleverly, won't he?

To the words, the air in the conference room sways deliberately. Later, Wrights opened his mouth when he looked at Kota in an interesting way.

"Hiccup! Oh, my God, that kid over there is the demon king of Rondo de Terra. I've heard rumors, kid."

"I'm afraid."

"What is fear? Hiccup! You're the demon king who stuck that Solvanian Dada man... you're not going to live long, Lotte."

"Yes. And Lord Wrights? The Kingdom of Solvania is also making progress internally on this issue of banknotes. How about a thousand years of prosperous history of the Chamber of Commerce of our kingdom of Flame, is it all right to be moved beyond Solvania for having something to do with 'commerce'? Will that keep you 'proud'?

"Hiccup. Indeed, it is not a bad idea for our Lalchian merchants to fall behind the countrymen of Solvania, etc. In that sense, it is not a bad proposition for the Lord to issue banknotes."

"Lord Wrights!?

Show Fernando's words, almost screaming, with Wrights waving his hands left and right as if they were troublesome.

"This is crazy, Fernando. Not since you were a kid... well, that's good. Let's get back to it, shall we, Lotte? Solvania originally left the issue of currency under its royal authority, didn't it? If" we "were to issue the banknotes themselves, we wouldn't agree."

Laugh when you say that with pleasure.

"... well, we can't help but have a hundred arguments here. Opponents don't have enough material to persuade proponents. Hey, Aloise?

"... what is it?

"Do you have enough material to convince me that you're here?

Turn your gaze towards the hollow so that you think only a little about the words of Wrights.

"... unfortunately not."

Aloys, who had often remained in the same position, eventually shook his head and showed it unfortunately. One nod at the appearance, Wrights continues his words.

"Then there's no use arguing further. More than this' proposal 'was officially hung at a meeting of the Committee of Nine, we can only decide later by a resolution by the Committee of Nine"

That's what I say, I turn my gaze to Lotte.

"... lotte? No matter how prime minister you are, you're not gonna let our decision go down?

"Whatever, Lord Wrights. Whatever that decision is."

Lights gives a surprised look at Lotte's attitude when she can afford it. but also for a moment, I immediately returned my gaze to Aloys.

"... So Aloise? Isn't it time to take a resolution? You're the chancellor today."

"… shall we then take a resolution? Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your hands according to your own judgment. So... if you agree, raise your hand."

Four to the word, hands up.

- Except for Aloise, the 'four' hands.

"... what are you doing, Bianca"

"I agree! That's a sign of intent!

"Get him down now!

To Fernando's angry words, Bianca swells her cheeks and puts down her shiny hands. Replaced, now Aloys raises his right hand.

"Okay, instead. I naturally agree."

"Agree with Baumgarden, Roat, Becker... and Ritz"

Like a fool, I admire the union president of the Ritz Commercial Union. He shouted his nose at Ritz, shaking his eyes like he was frightened, and then Fernando smiled and turned his gaze to Lotte.

"... Ha! I'm sorry to hear that, Your Excellency Lotte? Agreed is' four ', and your proposal is rejected. What, you don't give a shit? The idea was good inside. You'll be worried, Lord Lotte. Your thoughts are taken over by this commercial federation."

"What's the opposite?

"What?"

"So it's 'no'. We have four in favour, but we won't be taking a vote against it, will we?

"What's the point of such a thing! There are nine people with voting rights! And now we have a negative vote."

"I would now like to take a vote against it. If you disagree with this proposal, please raise your hand."

"- Ew!

Fernando raises his hand with all his might, keeping his teeth bitten by the words to Aloise. I don't know what this means, but Fernando raised his hand, convinced of his victory, and let his gaze indoors...

"What?"

- The hand being raised was' Four '.

For a moment, he blinked two or three times wondering if his eyes were seeing illusions, and Fernando remained almost half frenzied and shouted that the number he was still citing was four.

"- Adolph!!

Adolphe slowly opened his eyes as he received that voice and kept his arms in silence as he meditated again.

"Hotel Larchia makes this vote - 'abstention'"

Indoor time stopped.
