The Economics of Prophecy

"Go ahead, Master Tritt."

The samurai ”who” puts her usual cup in front of me. I feel a little dangerous that I'm used to having my own cup in Her Royal Highness's private room. I panicked and said, "Thank you. Dear Cattleya," he bows his head deeply.

It must have been some noble three women coming to the Grand Duke's mansion to apprentice her demeanor. If I see you anywhere but here, I shouldn't even be allowed to lift my head.

By the way, it was Shelly who gave me the information. "... because we shouldn't be poisoned by Vinder!," he said. I mean, we usually get it done so that doesn't happen.

By the way, the participants in today's work are Natalie to me and Shelley. Rarely do I have Meer. Unaccustomed Natalie manages to remain calm, albeit nervous. Just look at my face every time I say something. Shelley's gaze is toward the window. Looks worried. It's supposed to be dangerous to get emotional towards residents of another world if it's her fashion.

One woman looking at the sky far from the big window. The lord of this room and the lord's niece of this mansion. The king's adopted daughter and prophetic witch princess, the Virgin of the Redemption.

Blue and silver hair as if the light were on its own. A luxurious body with a small face and a thin chin. Removing all titles would not change the beauty that could be considered sacred. It's just that what's in that heart right now is probably the problem with girls around the age.

That makes me brave enough to line up sideways thoughtfully. Weeping eyes under thin, long lashes. Given that the tip of her gaze is north, it goes without saying who the princess thinks of, etc.

As far as I'm concerned, I have to take Meer's side... but I can't let them see me like this.

"Dear Alfina, Looks like we're ready for tea."

"... What, oh, I'm sorry. I'm confused. Thanks, Lilka."

"No, I know you're worried about Vinder."

When I say that, Master Alfina looks surprised. No, even if there's a difference between heaven and earth in identity, it's between girls. By and large, everyone here knows that Vinder is only made of impotence and recklessness.

"Today it will be a dough mixed with soba wrapped in an ancho and steamed up. Go with the matcha."

A small brown circular treat is on a plate shaped like a deep green leaf. The contents are Cosian. Strong dough with soba is the sweetness of the anchovies. I wonder if honey is also used to moisten the dough. The flavor is rustic and looks plain, even though it's a tremendous luxury. My sense as a merchant tells me this is not going to be a business.

... Soba and Anko go together.

It definitely has Vinder's taste in it. The man's feeling for sweetness is strange. Normally I don't use it this thoughtfully. Well, it's amazing how Natalie manages that impotence.

Or, of course, what's going on with him who eats amazing ice cream and only has a "whoa, reasonably good" face, even Lord Alfina and the Grand Duke?

"Yummy. Thanks Natalie. Are you okay? You haven't received the money from your aunt."

Master Alfina said worryingly.

"It's like asking for a tasting of a product candidate. And the ingredients are provided by you."

Natalie looks at me and Shelly.

"Well, thank you both"

"It's outrageous." "Well, it is. It's a waste."

Me and Shelly panicked. I am not reluctant to Her Royal Highness. The cost of ingredients is an error compared to the value of the information that Vinder is trying to make dishes made with soba flour popular. First, because Master Alfina is a shareholder of Vinder. Alfina's hospitality, in a way.

"Uh, Natalie's in trouble, too, isn't she? This is Vinder's instructions, too. Develop new products even while you are away…… Ah"

Shelley lost her word.

"Heh, Shelley relies a lot on Ricardo, too, so I guess you'll see."

Master Alfina smiles. Sherry turns blue. It's not about towing or anything. Maybe... I'm just sure Master Alfina envies us swinging by Vinder. It's not about the financial gain, of course. How much are you in love with me?

"Wow, I... uh, it was hard for me to suddenly ask you to prepare matcha before you go to the Empire..."

"Well, Meer tells me you're glad you prepared it in advance."

I can also say I adapted to Vinder. It also means they will advertise matcha to the Empire. It will be hard for Belmini, who was dealing with vegetables, to export abroad, but he has to have that kind of product to get involved in the new city. What we do is a source of concern, right?

I've heard the saying "If only I had eggs I could eat raw" once, but it's too lame, isn't it?

By the way, until that food guild meeting, both our father and Shelley's father were on guard for Vinder. Maybe it feels like a build-up aimed at the reverse ball. It's a joke now.

"Li, I wonder what about Lilka"

While I was thinking about it, childhood taming sold me.

"I haven't been asked to do anything in particular. As always, I don't think I let you work too hard on Meer. Oh, you know Alfina very well."

Actually, it's the relationship between the two people living in the same mansion that bothers me. I don't think I would kick Meer out because I'm talking about Master Alfina......

"Without Meer, the Vinder Chamber of Commerce wouldn't stand. I worry about more paperwork every time I visit my room."

Relieved by Master Alfina's words. I knew this was the case, because many daughters change people when they are involved. Well, me and Shelley are too busy because of Vinder to talk about that at all. Well, if we spread the word that we're doing this here and now, there 'll be as many candidates as there are.

"Even so, I may not be able to say anything about people either. Because Meer has a lot to teach me. Does it feel like a dependable sister to me?"

For a moment, the air on the table was freezing. I don't think that's what you mean. No, you mean if you read it in depth, you'd accept it if you were in that position? Shelley also has a troubled face. It completely erased the look on Natalie's face.

"How's Natalie? What do you think of Ricardo?

The water, not the spearhead, can be pointed at Natalie, who kept her quiet. Her gaze swings to the left and right.

"I'm a servant of Vinder so to speak, please forgive me for my assessment regarding my employer"

Lightly cut through. Could it be the biggest?

"... Vinder got to Muldras safely, didn't he?"

Shelley said. I have heard that you have been contacted. His Royal Highness Prince Wang is with us, so if anything happens, it's a national problem.

"Oh, yeah. By now, I've chosen a souvenir or something."

Right, the next business seed named Souvenir (Muchabu)... Everyone has a subtle laugh. I can't laugh when I think about my current capacity. But Master Alfina fell on her face.

"Oh, you know. Dear Alfina, did something happen with Vinder before you left?

What was wrong with the two of us before we left was that we were all concerned.

"............... I've said terrible things to Ricardo. So I'm sure..."

Master Alfina turned out to be like the end of the world. We first learned about the conversation Vinder had before heading north.

"I'm sorry about Vinder."

"Oh, yeah, Vinder's bad"

"... I think so too"

They all matched. I even grabbed my fist and assured Natalie that I couldn't appreciate her employer earlier. What a precise reversal of a girl's mind. I know it's the one that has nothing to do with safekeeping, but this is already in the realm of art.

Of course, I know Vinder is impotent for Master Alfina.

"And even before that..."

He tells me that Master Alfina was a cathedral before that with his pomposity. What the hell... not!

That means it feels like Vinder almost attacked me. No, it's a meal, no matter what you think. I heard a hell of a lot about it. I'm glad you even told me that... oh.

Everyone exchanges their gazes. A silent agreement is reached that this is absolutely forbidden.

"Because I gave priority to those who served... But I've been in the same mansion ever since..."

Finally, there was dissatisfaction with Vinder from Master Alfina's mouth. Conversely, the venue eased. Princess, you're a normal girl, no matter what they say about the Virgin of the Redemption, right?

"Well, in that case, that... You know, an invitation under another pretext."

Sherry interrupted the dangerous line. I wonder if it's tempered. But nobody stops me.

"The operation of having dreams of fear about prophecy..."

"Eh, well, I don't think you can use that..."

I even come up with an idea for Natalie. Wouldn't that operation be quite effective? But I don't think Alfina's character makes it possible. I mean, what are we talking about?

"I was relieved to hear the report that Ricardo had arrived safely in Maldoras, and now I'm with His Royal Highness Maitir and His Royal Highness Lisaberto... and I'm the one worrying about that...... Ah."

Master Alfina turned bright red. He noticed what he was saying.

Yeah, yeah, don't worry, Master Alfina, Vinder's bad. We watched Master Alfina dyed our cheeks with warm eyes.

Well, I'm on Meer's side, but so is Master Alfina... because he's already a friend.

"… Now let's continue our work. To finish the inspection a little faster and more efficiently. Information needs to be organized. I need your help."

Did you calm down, Master Alfina said? Tea time between girls is over. From now on, it is also important… to resume the work on which the destiny of the country hangs if we do badly. Before Master Alfina returns from the south to the West, we associate the lives of ordinary people we know and places far from the noble mansions with the prophecies of Master Alfina.

"We have to get back to the cathedral a little faster and pull primary information out of the crystal"

I'm just a little concerned that that feels off in the direction Vinder wants. Well, Vinder also goes to a dangerous demonic land, even if it is stopped by Master Alfina. Even if there are many circumstances and reasons, first and foremost, each other is for each other.

You must look good in that sense. Because it's dangerous, to the extent that we can help... I can't.

"First of all, based on the hypothesis that the sight of disaster revolves around high places..."

Master Alfina informs us of the policy. Still hypothetical to primary information? That's not the word that comes out of Her Royal Highness's mouth. Originally, he's smart, but if he was a businessman, I even think he'd be tough.

Well, that's probably Vinder's influence, too.
