The Economics of Prophecy

"Well, that's a little annoying."

I put the little cylinder at my desk. Looking out the window, the lights under the hill, which were there before the start of the work, are almost out as well.

Fine adjustment of the magic circuit makes my eyes squishy. He slapped his shoulder with one hand and extended the other into the water. Light. I remember the time now when I took the call bell and got up.

Walking down the moonlight hallway, I saw a room with a light on it.

"What is executive duty until this time? Lords are tough too."

"His Royal Highness Maitir"

I spoke to the room and to a woman my age, the lord of this hall.

…………

"I see. That's tough."

I calculated some numbers in my head before I said it. If you look at this increasing trend, you have to think about it with what Meer said.

"It's originally a narrow basin in the mountains, so suddenly more people come and go. Besides, not only are there more people in and out, but there are more people. Especially..............."

Lisaberto stopped the words there. Probably not a very pretty story. Even I know a little about territorial management.

"What about the Central Garden? It will develop much faster than our territory."

"That's just a rear base where we can maintain the alliance of kingdoms and empires originally. We can still afford it. I guess you just said what the city's proponents thought."

"How far ahead are we looking............ It's scary."

Lisaberto saw the guest room.

"Right. Sometimes I feel the same way."

"Sometimes?"

"What. The way you put it."

"No, with that said, what happened to the open clothes on your back?

Lisaberto looked at me as a demon mentor and said.

"You can't wear such flickering clothes when you're studying magic."

"I see. Until such time for Lord Ricardo."

"That's right. He can't do anything on his own, but he depends on me."

"Is that him? Heh. Is that what you're attracted to?

…………

Asked face to face, I was in the mood of being struck by surprise.

"What is it?

"No, I don't think so. Look, I'm on Ricardo's side, and basically I'm not looking for his knowledge."

"Is that all?

"At least that's what Ricardo thinks. Well, even I can't deny it. Oh, come on."

I was drawn to sticking around to talk about what the royal family was both talking about, thinking so.

"Do you know Sir Disaster's surprising source of knowledge?

Lisaberto dived in his voice and listened.

"For once, you're telling me. As a co-researcher. Oh, no. I can't tell a boulder. Or because there's nothing I can do about it. By the way, there's only three of us in the world who know."

"Well, I'm proud of you."

"That's not the problem. I guess I told him because I wanted to tell him that my... fondness for him was an illusion. Like I said, there's actually a strong element of intent. A normal daughter would be a little more trapped in sweet emotions."

"Perhaps so. We are royalty, and Your Highness is a magician in addition to that."

"That's right. I have a daughter who is royal and has given up that kind of emotion."

"Your Highness, Alfina."

"Yes, I don't know how political and intentional my emotions are to say I'm looking at that girl. The anomaly is over there."

"But now Your Highness looks like he's dead."

"Just now, really what"

"I'm sorry. I made fun of her because her Royal Highness is strangely cute."

With that said, Lisaberto got his residence right.

"As a member of the Empire, I'm proud that Your Highness is shouldering such a hero. Isn't Lord Ricardo counting on His Royal Highness Maitir like that?"

I have trouble reacting to words like unintentional. Totally, this never used to happen.

"... more than that, it's a number for the processing of arres in that realm. If you judge it in a straight line, it's not going to be good in the future."

"Linear, in the future?

"This is what Meer told me. Well, just to be brief, interest on debt is doubled a month. For the first time since a single gold coin…"

I switched the subject to numbers to deceive. What I'm going to tell you about how hard she's going to be in the future is a little payback.
