The Economics of Prophecy

"Welcome. Your Eminence."

"Thank you again for your help, Your Highness."

Lisaberto greets me in front of the Lordship Hall on the hill. Before the battle against that demon worm, I stayed in the hall twice on the return trip to Flying Dragon Mountain. When I was a little fish, I was relieved that I was vulnerable to environmental change.

The only thing that doesn't change is this building. The sights from the streets to the halls had changed. Looking down, a new large building stands along the street. It's bigger than the Lordship Hall. There are several buildings surrounding it that had no shadow or shape in front of them.

A boneless square building combining trees and stones on three or four floors is accommodation. The large one-story building seems to be a warehouse. The increase in transaction volume is directly solved.

Does it feel like there's a Shinkansen station in the country town?

"Oh, does His Highness the Consul have no greetings?

"Excuse me, Your Highness."

"On my return, Ricardo is with me............ Well, fine. Somehow, you've changed a lot."

Maythir is the lord and royal family, and the blood connection seems to be about cousins again, but he looked and said. Beyond the fact that the new city is the city of the knot between the empire and the kingdom, I would ask Maitir, Lord of the nearest empire, and Consul of the Central Garden, to get along.

"... because it's a neighborhood."

"The Grand Duke of Central Garden will take precedence over the rank of" former ”successor to the throne if all this benefits are brought to him."

"My former Royal Highness, will you stop calling me that? His Royal Highness Lisaberto. Because there is no Grand Duke in our town. Balanced rule by three counts loyal to the kingdom, because that's our system."

"Ricardo is more polite with Lisaberto."

"Oh well, would you be proud that Your Highness is much more casual with Lord Ricardo than I am"

"Even Lisaberto was sending love sentences. Because this is how we succeed in calling."

"Well, that letter is just for work. I am a consul when it comes to working with Lord Calamity, and His Royal Highness Maitir, who is nearby, needs you to work hard."

"I'm doing it. I'm sorry Ricardo's not coming on board."

What the hell are you talking about? The servants around you and the knights behind us are in trouble.

"Let's move on to work."

"You did. Her Royal Highness Maityle got a lot rounded up, so I followed."

Lisaberto changed his expression.

"Then, my lord, it's about that letter. There is no mistake in the content, but I didn't know you were really worth it enough to stay here and do it yourself..."

Seems a little confused. A letter is information I asked for about a new product. Yes, I'm talking about a genuine small business.

"That story is business, so if you can, please do it in Ricardo"

I glanced at Mathier as soon as I could.

"I understand, Lord Ricardo. You want me to show you quickly?

"Please"

They're raw. Given the time it takes, I've never been over there in a hurry. As far as the bottom of the hill is concerned, Lisaberto will also be quite busy. Like dealing with population growth, where sudden development occurs......

◇ ◇

Go down the hill, protected by the knights of both countries. Beautiful streams flow from the mountains behind the road. I just figured it out and see how grainy the sand is in the creek. Pick gravel at the bottom of the river. Make sure you feel it.

By the way, more than ten people change course for this little confirmation.

Inability to move lightly is a huge cost in terms of business efficiency. In the old days, I was the only one who had to run and go down to the river plain. Efficient operation of trial and error makes this tough for ordinary people in the sale.

"This is where I wrote to you."

After a stop, we were led halfway between the settlement and the woods. There is a pond there, poured by a stream that has passed through the place of residence. As we approach the pond, creatures like frogs jump in. A flock of small fish reflecting the light were seen evacuating into the aquatic plants at the same time.

"Yeah, that sounds good"

Look at the pond environment. I went. Pick up the twig and plug it into the pond. Brown mud rises.

"Sounds good though? That, though, is basically a pond that is only used for agriculture. The people don't drink much, either."

Lisaberto clouded his mouth. Obviously it feels like something domestic and draining is pouring in. From the mountains, there would be resistance for beverages in Japan if there were fresh streams that seemed to be inhabited by fish and mountain girls.

Professionally speaking, does it feel like the chemical oxygen requirement is high? But if you think about the product you're looking for, you're in trouble.

"You can only live in very beautiful water. There's a problem."

You were relieved that the mud sank and there was no movement, and I went when I saw the beautiful little fish coming out of the shadow of the aquatic plants.

"Well..."

A knight in armor offers a net, not a sword, and another with a container like Tarai stands by his side. I didn't expect to see it from behind. The two princesses, Ohime.

In a really surreal sight, I moved a net from the water towards the aquatic plants.

Empty the dull contents into the pond water-stained tarai. The glittering light of the scales and the pimpy, bouncing brown little animals rush around the Tarai.

About ten at a time. Big fish.

The size is one head smaller than the medallion at best. Probably less than two centimeters. Thin body shape. Close to transparent body tone with a red pattern running vertically. Blue circle underneath it. And a corrugated pattern on the back and buttocks.

The size, the beauty and the purpose are perfect for me. Looks like we're gonna make a herd just now, and this looks like it should.

"Fish."

It's a fish.

Maityle and Lisa Belt tilted their necks as they glanced from left to right.

"It's small enough to eat, isn't it?"

"It's a common little fish for ponds and waterways around here. No matter how poor you are, you will not eat this. Unless, of course, we really run out of food..."

Mathier tells me to think about it. Lisaberto agreed in the honor of the Territory. Well, that's what happens if you're used to seeing it from birth.

I decided to transfer the pond water and fish into a bucket and bring them back to the museum.

◇ ◇

When I get back to the museum, when I transfer a few fish per water from Tarai to a bowl or so of pottery, I remove the wooden bottle from the refrigerator I brought.

When you open the lid, the smell reaches your nose, which is fragrant but not appetizing, if you are a person who has done fishing.

dried bee pupae and powdered. It's called chrysalis. Rinse brown powder with a large teaspoon of ear and slightly drop onto the water. A brown powder spreads with the oil film on the water surface.

Small fish flock to food on the water at the same time. Open your mouth to the bait that floats in contention ahead, and another fish devours the bait that falls into the water due to its impact.

Observe still, but do not remove the food once placed in the mouth. On the contrary, I just brought my ears closer to the water again, and the fearless individual approaches me. Perhaps the pond usually feeds on animal blankton or something.

"I guess the first stage is clear."

I went. Some species only eat live bait. On Earth, they even sold rays and plankton endurance eggs for food. Thinking about even the juvenile "Breed" raises as many problems as it takes, but that's still fine.

"So, what's this all about?

"Aquarium...... I'm going to make it fashionable in the kingdom to keep fish that weren't. This fish will be its center."

I went to the two of you. Hobbies are deep in business. And I'm trying to make money spreading that hobby to this world, should I say that my business is deeper?

But you know what, I'm a merchant.

"Do you keep fish? I do build ponds in the garden if you're in the Imperial City...... Come on, you're small. With all due respect, cats are cuter..."

"Yeah, I think dogs are funnier to keep."

Apparently, Lisaberto is a cat, and Mathilde is a doggie, so people want things they don't have.

"Surely these small fish are really plain. But the products I try to sell do not establish the fish alone. For this purpose, it is better for the individual to be smaller in size. And the important thing is that it's exotic. Even if you're familiar with His Royal Highness, it's rare for a human being in the kingdom."

I will state the necessary elements as a commodity. It is a necessary element to trigger the Aquarium Boom. People want something rare, beautiful and interesting. That's because it shows us a world we've never seen before.

"Yeah. If I try this, I'm cute eating bait, and I wonder if it's beautiful. Hey, can you let me do it, too?

Mathier took the bait out of my hand.

"Oh here, Mayteel. That's too much, half, no, a fifth is good."

I stopped Mayteel from trying to throw down exactly the bait I had piled in my ear.

"Wouldn't a lot of fish be happier?

"That would be easy to eat up. But the amount you need is a tenth of that. Fish is floating in the water. The temperature is lower than ours. I don't need a lot of food."

And naturally, if you feed more, there will be another. I looked between the little fish's butt fins.

"That's what it is. Hmm, I still don't see Ricardo's true purpose..."

Mathier thinks arm in arm. We just talked about the real purpose.

That, then, unwrapped the arm I had put together when I turned my eyes and turned it into a feminine pose with a finger on my chin.... I think the first look is more natural and suitable for her.

Anyway, that's the kind of Mathilde I need to work with for my next job.

"There's something I want Mayteel to do. Get that little screw ready, please."

I said as I lifted the barrel of gravel I had collected from the creek. In the development of a product called Aquarium, the first basics are water making.
