The Branded Female Fencer

"Aside from what I don't know, I had Tarram use the hands of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce to look into the value of its assets since I had information that the Yatri Chamber of Commerce had crumbled. Almost all the assets Yatri had, the distribution channels, seemed to have been seized. I'll start negotiating for our share there.

Exactly. I have a brother-in-law and I don't think it's possible, but I think we can negotiate which areas we'll get ahead of us now. "

"By the way, what's Yatri's asset value?

"Just what I currently know, 50 million pens"

"Excuse me!?

It was Ekra who accidentally raised his tongue-in-cheek voice. If that funding, which is also comparable to the national budgets of small countries, is part of it, how much was it intrusive?

But Alphilis was calm.

"I'm not familiar with it, but what products does the Yatri Chamber of Commerce handle? Armas is supposed to be a weapon, and the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce is supposed to focus on fur and textiles."

"I wonder if the Yatri Chamber of Commerce has a lot of minerals, jewellery, and crafts. Yatri is an aesthetically pleasing merchant. I was even told that his appraised goods were absolutely true. Even art is so exquisite that it's called a final assessment. Tarram is also a town of traditional crafts and performing arts, and you can see that the Yatri Chamber of Commerce is based there."

"Minerals, gems..."

Alphilis looked up as if he had come up with something on a little thought.

"Jessia, I want you to ask me for one thing, but the reward in kind is fine at 10 million pens. Could you hold off on some mineral sales routes instead?

"Minerals? I think that's possible if we're negotiating cash, okay? Even the mercenary corps is for use, and the first 3 million you borrowed from Arnelia is increasing rather than decreasing?

"No, that's okay. I'll list the minerals you want me to hold off on later, please. If you can hold on to just a few of them, my goal will be achieved"

"That's good, though."

"... haha, that's Alphilis. You come up with something interesting ~"

"Do you understand, Cowen?

"It's a big mess ~. Then you need to see Miriazal - and Lord Miranda too ~? Let's go through the process ~"

"Boulder. Please."

Rhine perceived Alphilis' intentions in that interaction, but the others didn't know what to do and were confused.

"Miriazal, sell the land"

"Hey, what's going on?"

There was no time for Koko to make tea, and Alphilis offered to do so at the same time as he met Miriazal. Alphilis folds over the noodle-eating Miriazal.

"There was a ruler of Tarram. But I can't tell you who, let alone negotiate with Arnelia. The more you try to hold them down, the more rebellious they are."

"! Ho ho, Arnelia took hundreds of years to catch him. You've found him well in this short period of time. After all," I have "a woman, what are you doing? It's not just about luck, man."

"Don't tear it up. They're better at negotiating than you, Miriazal. Negotiations are futile with that opponent, and we have to respond in good faith. But you should be able to march to Romansland without delay. If Arnelia moves in earnest, she will not be disturbed by cooperation."

"Can't you tell me who you're dealing with?

I can't. It's a promise.

Often Miriazal glanced at Alphilis with a sharp eye, but immediately stopped.

"Phew, the threat doesn't work. The target is troublesome. Or is it no longer intimidating to me, too? But then you can't say you've accomplished it."

"Exactly. But I have money. First, I'll pay back my current debt, roughly 4 million pens, with my ears shut. A million pens in addition. So I want you to sell some of the Mithrills and Demon Crystals that Arnelia is storing right now."

"Odori..."

Miriazal took control of it, although the child gave a harsh look and inserted his hand into his nostrils.

"Asking where I found out about Mithril would be a stupid question. Come on, keep going."

"Plus 5 million. I want you to select as much land as you can sell. There is, Arnelia's direct jurisdiction. I'd like to refer Miranda's opinion to the selection.

And one more thing. I'll be able to negotiate with Tarram's rulers via me. Instead, I want a Dwarf factory connected to Arnelia to be rented on an annual basis. You can do that, right?

"... horrible woman."

Miriazar roared. I was also surprised to know about Mithril, but where did you hear about Dwarf. It has often been said that battle trends are determined before fighting, but Alphilis' ability to gather information is unusual. It should have never been seen through by any country before, but it was a surprise statement. Miriazal never took Alphilis lightly, but for the first time, he might have thought it was heartfelt horrible.

Miriazal nodded one when he looked at Tsukiko.
