The Economics of Prophecy

Five Stories: First Half Operations Conference

"Oh, the..."

Lilka was closing in on me after what looked great left together.

"Oh, thanks.................. Meer."

And he changed the direction of travel ninety degrees in a straight line.

"Yeah, not me"

"Master Alfina cares about me."

"Though I started earlier, I am an officer of the Shaoxian Festival. It's only natural to play a role. Besides, I'm not the one who negotiated."

The two of you tell me, Lilka stands in front of me with a mojimoji.

"Well, I don't think you've gotten involved..."

"This one's my suicide bomber, so be it. More than that, I need information about Shaoxian Festival. For some reason, he even joined me."

"What's this one? For some reason?............... I have a lot to say, fine. So what do you want to know?"

I don't know what you thought, I'm fine with my words. My daughter regained her normality. I didn't say anything strange.

"Uh, first..."

"First, how long are you going to keep the princess standing in the hallway"

Claudia spoke as if it were a blur.

"Crow."

"This isn't a complaint about Vinder, it's just to keep the princess safe."

Well, if you think you're a big man, you're on some kind of limit. Money per Grand Duke?

What do we do? As far as the look on Alfina's face goes, you don't say, "From here on out, it's for civilians only". She seems to have a lot going on with that boss herself in the first place. Claudia's going to need some information on the other side.

Besides, I don't know who's gonna ask me here.

"Let's move the place. in a room where you can calm down a little bit and organize your information."

I pointed the way I came.

We stopped in front of an enlarged lab. The key was at the entrance. Speaking of which, Fulsey didn't want to go to a meeting. When Meer took the key out of her nostrils, she opened the door.

"I'd prefer that desk because the tablet is closer."

"Give me the keys to the sage's room............ Who are you really?"

I know what I'm talking about. I told Meer, Lilka was scared. Alfina sits in the middle of the side where she can see the tablet. They just know that no one can sit back until they sit down. Claudia stands to the left of the Lord. I sit across from Alfina. Meer sits to my left, and Lilka rushes to sit to its left.

"Oh bad. Can you sit over there because it's hard to listen to me?

But I mercilessly started Lilka from the civilian side. Lilka looks at me with a crying eye, but she has no choice but to try to head next to Claudia. But Alfina pointed next to herself. Lilka shook her body vividly, but managed to take her seat in a shabby motion.

How did this happen? I feel very close to my face that

"I would also like Lord Claudia to sit back if he can. Humans gathered here are one another with some difficulty with regard to the Sho Hyun Festival. Lord Claudia thinks we can share that. We have our own limits to the information of the nobles."

"Klau, you won't have to worry like that here."

Claudia gets a little lost but ended up sitting in a chair. After all, I guess I am dissatisfied with the Lord's pressed role.

"So that's what I want to hear. First of all, Mr. Lilka."

"Lilka is fine because it's so dull. I said Vinder, too."

"Oh, oh,... lilka. Uh."

What about this? We call each other off, but it's a surname over there, and this one's a name. Doesn't it feel like I'm thick?

No, not in that case. At present, we are turning our enemies to the most prominent traders in the King's capital. The shield behind it is the prince's fiancée and the prime minister's second son. In this headwind, I have to open a shop at a festival I didn't intend to attend. Besides, it's a place where no one normally leans over.

"The first question, though. Why is Calest doing this so far?"

The fundamental question has not yet been resolved. I heard the reason for this amendment to the rules. But collecting it is still weak.

"First of all, you don't seem to know enough what it means to open a shop at Shao Xian Festival. In the first place..."

Lilka explains. It is, of course, one of the few places where we can appeal to a large number of nobles at once, and even the announcement of new products, he said. Used at the Shaoxian Festival is a specially marked currency, which is used to announce to rank in earnings. In other words, the candidates for succession to each Chamber of Commerce have advantages and disadvantages.

"I see, it's like an exposition, not a school festival"

I was only a little convinced.

"Hakrankai? Anyway, it's important to civilian students. Much more than an exam."

"Okay. But you take a place where even traditional rules are better funded. Do we need to do this until we spend even more money tightening it out?

"Even I doubt that. At first, I thought it was a dispute between our headquarters and Calest. When it comes to the unique circumstances of this year, we're talking about expanding our trading framework with the Empire."

"Oh, you got out at the tea party. Surely the Empire suffers in the battle against demons. But no matter how much..."

"It's not a matter of children competing in boulders to determine the boundaries of the deal."

Lilka also twisted her neck.

"Um... one when it comes to empire"

Alfina opened her mouth.

"He said the next envoy will have students from Imperial School join his entourage. Senior Hilda also said he would invite you to the Sho Hsien Festival."

"That's a story for us..."

"I guess Kalest knows"

I got unexpected information. But still, we're talking about students. I don't think it will dictate the dealings between states.

Well, the next thing you know, it's about Hilda.

"Next question, then, what's the line linking the Grand Duchess to the Chancellor's warrant and Calest?

"It's..."

To my question, Lilka looked to the side for a moment and clouded her mouth.

"Say it. Because you can't judge anything without accurate information. Yes, Ricardo taught me."

"What do you tell the princess... I get it. I mean, there's talk of Kalest, Kurtheit and the Chancellor, the Second Prince, shaking..."

"The prince's faction? Lord Claudia, wasn't it the first-born inheritance option to determine the heir to the royal family?"

I pointed the water at the female knight on the top of the Buddha. There must be no room for factional strife over the throne. Unless, of course, emergency means are used.

"The Prince is determined to be His Highness the First Prince. The nobility, under his ministry, supports the First Prince together, including His Eminence the Grand Duke of both East and West. And the Second Prince, the Third Prince, assists the First Prince in their respective 'roles'."

"So you're saying that the First Prince can have factions in other princes anyway"

Peel off Claudia's pre-construction. The Count Warrant lady looks disgusted, but she won't stop me from translating. I think it's possible to say a word about how much it's stopped. Maybe there's something I think about this guy swinging by his parents' house too.

"The Second Prince is deeply connected to the Chancellery. And as you know, the third prince is the Knights. It is believed that the Third Prince and the Grand Duke of Bertoldo were linked by the work of the previous princess"

"My aunt also said that even though she didn't mean to, the Third Prince would have trouble rubbing it off."

The Third Knight Commander was the Third Prince. They let me use it, but did that affect the faction's balance? I threw a round at the Grand Duke around there.

"I mean, the Second Prince Faction has risen. He says he's on alert for the Third Prince and the Alfina-like Faction."

My Hilda profile wasn't out of the picture. But it's a more precarious system than I thought. Hopefully everyone's protecting the Pre-Construction, but if you're willing to break it, it'll collapse easily. The first prince at heart doesn't have a real ally.

"I knew in the background the rights of the Empire deal and the impatience of the Second Prince Faction."

I'm not entirely convinced, but I was able to get some idea of the enemy's situation. Too much information about the Empire. Rather, let's think about getting information in this business. International trade is a must for my future dreams. But...

"For now, focus on business at Shaoxian Festival"

"What other options do we have?"

"Because seniors always have a strange range to assume"

"That's good. Then the tenant's place is next. Do you know about the classroom placement that is now decided and where it is likely to be subject to the next bid?

"Come on, what about you and Her Royal Highness, who will be thrown out in the courtyard, rather than us?"

"I know. I need it for that, too. I have information to determine if I can come up with an idea."

What I'm thinking is a form of commerce that's not normal in the original world or sudden over here. There are two conditions that need to be overcome to make it happen. One is the physical constraint of human behavior. The other is a psychological constraint on behavior.

"Okay. Look at this."

Lilka spread the paper on the table with the school building plans.

"There are a dozen chambers of commerce with no place at the moment. The number is swinging on this map in the classroom where the bidding is over. The cloak and the customer's holding room are rooms with this symbol. All the space left, here or in a small room like this. Mostly special classroom prep rooms and later warehouses."

I see, all Lilka pointed to was about half the room in the classroom, some of which are less than a third.

"This size makes a cooking area and it's over. The food and beverage system is particularly demanding. You know what I mean?"

"Oh, I have to make a backyard and a hall, and the hall has to be a loose line of tables because the guests are noble,"

"That sort of thing. I was able to use the classroom properly last year, but it was still critical. And the interior is a problem."

Originally a college for noble children. The classroom as a box, but also the chairs and desks inside. But the rest of the room isn't.

"What about just bringing the food in as it is?

"Banned as it is, it is the rule to provide what is made through a minimum of process in the space given. Otherwise, there's no point in us doing it."

"Speaking of which, you can cook or something."

"No, I'll bring the cook. If we did that, there wouldn't be enough people. It's the show of arms that pupils manage the process."

Yes, it was. I felt like I was being bullied by big capital, but these guys are all ladies and boys. And artisan guilds are placed below than merchant guilds. Cooks are a kind of craftsman.

"I see. I'm glad Lilka's here."

You're too ignorant.

Once I honestly appreciated it, Lilka went red.

"So, what do you do? We can secure the box because of you, but it's still painful. You don't even have the box. The courtyard is just a passage between the school building and the East Room. What are you gonna do in a place where there's no roof?

Yes, if I could use it, it would be a narrow crossing. But...

"Mr. Lilka was worried about you earlier, Ricardo."

"Chi, no. What worries me is Meer swinging by Vinder. Hey, Meer."

"Until earlier I believed in Lilka's friendship, too, but I'm getting a little less confident"

"Hey, what does that mean? No, the courtyard also involves Her Royal Highness. So this is how you wish to be present."

Yes, we're stuck in the courtyard. As a student, I wouldn't mind if I were you, but if the store were you, I would definitely have a deficit. In the first place, nobles such as stalls would not lean over.

"I know. Because at the end of the day it all connects. Next, I want you to tell me a little more about the food and beverage shops in particular, among the chambers of commerce that you were unable to attend"

So my purpose is to recruit people to do it with. In the courtyard, to create an unbeatable festival venue.
