The Economics of Prophecy

1 story: Late Tea Party

"Su, ha, su, ha. Yes, Master Luitzer. Invite us today…"

"Lilka."

"Uh-huh......................... mi, meer. Don't surprise me. But good. I wanted to go with you, but I'm gonna be right in the classroom."

'Cause it was at a senior's place.

"It's Vinder's again, I can't believe I even swing it at such an important time"

That man doesn't seem to understand how hard and amazing it is to get aristocratic knowledge. No, jealous of my subordinate Meer............

"Shall we go then? Be strong."

"Ah, yeah. Sure."

Whatever you say, Meer seems to be in the mood. Always somewhere blurry eyes are as sharp as I pointed at Zeldia earlier.

When I entered the East Room, there were two young ladies there. One, of course, Master Luitsah. Very nice today, too. But Master Luitzer will be sitting in the back left seat. Yeah, it wasn't hosted by Master Luitzer.

Eh, I wonder who that one was............ I did see it...... that???

"Dear Alfina, Thank you for inviting us today."

……… O, Your Highness the Princess.

About, my vision was distorted. Liar, eh, why, no way, I found out I was saying bad things...

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Meer. Uh, I wonder if you're Mr. Lilka. Here we go."

"Ha, ha, yes. Oh, Oujouden Kanio Kalemacite Hagoki Genu,, Oh, be in a good mood."

Her Royal Highness smiled nicely at me when I turned bright blue.

Kachakacha, cups and saucers make noises as my hands tremble. I don't know the flavor of black tea, which is probably highly aromatic. By the way, that's what Master Luitzer was put in.

Speaking of which, I don't remember what kind of greeting you just gave to Master Luiza.

"You don't have to be so nervous. Because Master Alfina is generous."

"Yes, sir"

I hammered with no art whatsoever. I need to get back on my feet. Don't be upset forever. While Meer is taking on Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will speak with Lady Luitzer. So it's on schedule.

"That Louie"

"Ricardo, how are you doing?

"That's when you delay because the research takes time. I think it's about time."

Meer replied to Her Royal Highness's inquiry. I almost flew consciousness for a moment.

"Ha!?!? Silly,,,,,,,,,,, ……, too, I'm sorry"

You're not stupid, you're not stupid. I want to die, yeah, I could die. Don't get Meer involved.

"Well, Ricardo, that sounds like you."

But the princess laughed. I put my chest down for Meer. I knew you were sweet. I don't have an aura.

"Sorry I'm late"

That's when I heard a familiar voice at the entrance. At the entrance to the East Room, one man is bowing his head deeply.

You're out of your mind. No, it's not like I have hair or a sleeping bag. No matter how polite you apologize. It can't be a late point. It's disrespectful.

"You've come a lot"

"My legs got heavy because I really took the Social Dictionary and thought about putting my face on a tea party full of women."

I would add that there is no excuse. I was accidentally freaked out. You're not, are you? I'm not really taking the Social Dictionary, am I?

"Because Ricardo didn't come to the college after the celebration. I was worried."

"I'm sorry for your concern. I'm putting in a little bit about the Grand Duke's request."

Vinder is talking to Her Royal Highness about the celebration. Speaking of which, I don't think I saw it for a few days. But why does His Highness care about trends among civilian students? No, what kind of attitude is that? You must be rude to Her Royal Highness and to Lady Luiza.

"You're talking about your aunt's investment. I'm sorry. Is your aunt very interested in that stock?"

"Because I thought five years ahead of me, no matter how well the stock went. I'm having a hard time. This sekai...... There's been a lot of problems with the Kingdom's legal system."

"For a detailed description, here is a summary"

Her Royal Highness is somehow talking about vegetables with Vinder. Very close. Besides, when I hear it, it sounds like Grand Duke Bertoldo and I both know each other. In response to Vinder's glance, Meer offered the paper to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Wow, I'm explaining it to Her Royal Highness. Vegetable description????

Shit, I haven't been able to tell you anything. In this case, even though I have to shake the topic that was prepared in advance by the humans below.

"Oh, you know, Master Luitzer. You're going to be at Shaoxian Festival in a month."

"Speaking of which, yeah. I wonder if Mr. Lilka will join us."

"Yes. I'll build a mock shop with the rest of Kenwell's kids."

The Shaoxian Festival commemorates the day three generations ago when the King allowed civilians to enroll in the College. It's a festival, but its actually a serious battle. For merchant children, who make up most of the civilian students, this is a very important place to appeal to future patrons about their home and their value.

It's taboo to get your hands on other Chamber of Commerce customers, but you can't help but come and buy from the aristocratic side. In such pre-construction, there can be more new business partners. If it fails, it spreads a bad reputation to the aristocratic society.

I mean, it depends on the fate of my parents. So we prepare desperately.

Though some houses don't show that bare gesture at all. For example…….

"Well, I didn't see it last year. By mock shop, do you mean the store? What do you do?"

Oh, my God, Her Royal Highness ate. No, right? This is a much more appropriate topic for a tea party than the unexplained story.

"Yes, a student opens a store using a parent's product. We trade in milk, eggs, etc., so we plan to have a snack with it."

"Vinder, I wonder what you're gonna do."

"It's a little tough to get involved on our scale. We don't have enough men."

He's a really unmotivated man. What are you in this college for? Maybe it's my fault, but if I invite Her Royal Highness, it's not going to happen. Really, what is this guy?

"... is that something I can join too"

"Also, of course. How delightful we would all be if Her Royal Highness Alfina, the Virgin, were to watch."

"Oh, I'm not, and I'm the..."

Her Royal Highness glanced at Vinder and shut her mouth.

"Speaking of which, you were talking about the envoys from the Empire wishing to visit as well. I wonder if Mr. Lilka has heard anything."

"Yes, the story of the Empire's desire to expand the deal has also been passed on to us. More food export boundaries are a thankful story for us."

Unlike my country, which has many flatlands, the Empire is a mountainous area. Besides, I am constantly exposed to demonic invasions. Not suitable for food production, but rich in demonic crystals that can be taken from minerals and demons. Until fifty years ago, they had waged war on the food of our country, but now the deal is concluded in the form of an exchange of products between the two sides.

For a merchant who deals in food, it can also be said to be a good customer. Of course, the Kenwell Class Grand Chamber of Commerce is the only one directly concerned with transactions between states. There is a continuing rush between the Great Chambers of Commerce over the empty boundaries with Drefano gone.

"I wonder if the Empire is running out of food."

"Yes. There has also been a flood of warcraft in the West that is not normally possible in our country... Oh, that!

Remembering the big deal, I stood up like a spring.

"I am afraid I thank Her Royal Highness as one of the people"

I can't believe I forgot such a pivotal thing. If it's true, it's not the first thing to say. But I could have said it in a natural way as a result. I also avoided stepping into a slaughtered topic that didn't deserve a tea party.

"Thanks, but then Li..."

"So you're saying that demon activation is happening in the Empire as well? I wonder what's going on with the devil's pulse fluctuations or something."

But Vinder, who should have stood up with me, didn't read the air. I mean, we don't need any more demon talk at the tea party.

"We're talking about empires with warcraft of different sizes than kingdoms. I hear you can live in giant demonic crystals and act quite a distance from the Red Forest."

"So the empire is, in a way, the shield of the kingdom..."

Without even noticing my gaze, Vinder thinks. This is exactly what a bystander is.

"Right. It seems to be decided on the terms of the transaction and so on. After all, demons are common enemies."

"Well, if the empire gets hit by demons..."

"The village of Adelhide has a legacy of a giant dragon raid. Though I'm not sure if it's true or false because it seems to be a story before the kingdom can."

Both Her Royal Highness the Princess and Master Luiza talk properly to such a vinder. They are truly generous. I still hate this guy who's sweet about it.

"One, I'm annoyed..."

Leaving the East Room I finally pulled out my shoulder strength. It's like your father after work, he's groping his shoulders around.

"Sorry, they stopped talking about the tea party organizers"

"Ugh. You told me what a real cold sweat is. But it's okay. I was able to remember my name for Master Luitzer. You gave me that chance, so I knew you'd appreciate it. It's just..."

I looked behind for a moment. In front of the crossing to the school building, Vinder is talking to Master Alfina.

"What the hell is he?"

My words had a lot more meaning than usual.

"Because seniors are seniors"

"Uh-huh."

I saw Meer. Meer sees an unlikely combination of men and women.

"Eh, I don't know. I don't know, but I don't want to be there for you, because I'm there for you."

"I'm not sure what the word means too randomly though....... thanks"

That's what Meer said and laughed. Um, I figured I'd be wasted on vinders or something.
