"Ugh..."

My stomach hurts.

The tightening pain was so severe that breakfast was likely to come out upside down.

... Oh, I wish Mr. Alger was here at a time like this.

If it's her magic, I can erase this stomach ache.

More importantly, I'm willing to just have her. Because she's such a beautiful girl.

Nevertheless, it was myself who decided to break up with that girlfriend. Even to those who are not, salvation will not come down.

"Hmm. Somecar. This tea is delicious."

"King. That's a republican specialty, isn't it? Top of the line as hospitality."

"Ho! This is tea! I know the woes! I read it in a book! Thank you...... no!!

"You seem to like it more than anything."

I put a commercial smile on my face so the upset wouldn't come out on my face and I bowed my head deep.

The three in front of us now are Lord Samakar of Arlesha, Queen of the Sea Demons Kutila, who unites the undersea cities, and King Playades of the Kingdom.

Instead of meeting me at Zeno Kotobuki, a merchant, I was confronted by three people who were even difficult to see.

"Do, merchant there. What's the purpose of this meeting?

The king, who should have enjoyed his tea until just a few seconds ago, throws his sharp eyes here.

... Expanding fast!

That's the king of one country. Just say the requirements, and that seems to be the case.

If you look at the other two properly, the queen of sea demons is still intrigued by tea, and the lord explains it in a gentlemanly manner. Freedom.

"There were already two people calling about it..."

"Wait, you mean that? Use the king's time."

"Ugh... sorry"

"... good. Let's forgive that for the rest. It's nothing else, because they're giving you Argent's name."

"Thank you"

Before Mr. Alger leaves, the situation has been sorted out so far.

That's why I was able to invite them here.

"Hey, did you like it? Our conference hall. The truth is, we can't have outsiders."

One of the waiters enters the room in casual condition and takes his seat.

Bringing in a ghost squire, he is one of the chief officials of the Yotsuba Parliament, Axame Higre.

"It's a good vibe. I don't hate the rest of the unique atmosphere of the Republic. I have official business, and I can hardly get there."

"I'm satisfied with the rash! The ground is hilarious! I have to buy a lot of souvenirs for the people of the country!

"Ha ha. That's good. I'll show you a good souvenir shop later, Queen of the Sea Devils."

My stomach hurts. Unlike this one, the three of them talk casually everywhere. Oh, I envy that brain weather.

I finished greeting him all the way, and Mr. Akisame throws his gaze at me. Naturally, here's the sight of the other three.

"So, a merchant. I'd like to know why you've set the stage so far. Attach to the permission of the Commercial Guild Leader."

"... yeah, that's right"

Originally, this could never be the case.

Merchants are not allowed to interfere in the country. Even if you can do business between individuals, you can be involved in politics (every single thing).

I set the scene until I bent the basic rule directly to the Alliance Commander.

"There's another one before that, there's no actor."

"Is that about me, merchant?

Rin's voice echoed in the setting.

It was a woman with red hair and strong will who lived in her eyes who showed up trying to take everyone's gaze.

"Good luck, Lord of the Great Safe"

Artificial Spirit Iggysta, administrator of the Cyril Grand Vault.

Now the actors will have it all.

bowing his head, Mr. Igjista shook his head slowly,

"No, no. It's been a long time since I've been outside. I think it feels good. And I wanted this kid to go through something called a trip. Look, come on out?

"Oh, yeah......"

Everyone was breathtaking to the person who came out prompted.

"Mr. Alger!?

"Argent!?

"Goodwill ambassador which!?

The name is different, the feeling is the same.

A girl who looked a lot like a vampire with silver hair, but made me cry under her eyes.

I knew what it looked like.

"And Cyril Arkedia......?

A woman named Cyril, who founded the Great Vault.

I know from her magic that Mr. Alger was born.

Trying to deny everything about the name that popped up, Mr. Iguzista shook his head.

"No, no, this kid's not Algiers, he's not Cyril. Me and Alger's cute little sister. Look, do you want to say hello?

"... it's Shirley. Thank you…"

"Shirley, you've changed your personality a lot...... I was so happy to see your sister Algiers before you came"

"Yes, because your sister... she's just a stranger... and, uhh, I want to see your sister Algiers..."

Somewhere around, the cat-like attitude you borrowed was certainly very different from Mr. Alger's.

But the face did look just like that, and when they said Mr. Alger's sister, it was something terribly convincing.

"Surprised... I didn't know she had a sister"

"Me, Alger, and her, were born of Cyril's magic. So we're sisters."

To the Lord, who opens his eyes in amazement, Mr. Iguzista gives a light explanation.

Of course such a story was my first ear, so I was quite surprised even with this one. The business smile is a little broken.

"Uh... sorry. Mr. Alger is not here."

"Yep......!?

"No, uh, I can see you! I think I'll see you! Because I'm going to let you! I'm keeping your letters, too! So don't cry!?

When you look blatantly sad in the face you know, it's just hard to do.

I managed to calm down, and then I looked around again.

"Now, I know many of you are first, so let's start by introducing ourselves. My name is Zeno Kotobuki. I'm a pedestrian everywhere... thank you for coming together like this"

"Akisame Higre. This child is Habutton, a squire. He's one of four houses that runs the Yotsuba Congress, the political office of the Republic."

"The rest are kings of the kingdom. That's all."

"I am disturbing you as a king, Lord of Arlesha, Samakar Swaro"

"The wolf is Kutila, king of the Sea Demons!

"Iggysta, Lord of Cyril's Vault."

"... Shirley. Sister Igjista and sister Algiers…"

Really, it's a collection of amazing faces.

In addition to the big men moving the country, even the administrators who divide the economy are now gathered here.

... and just for one.

Argent Van Peel.

I put out this name and made a request. That's all, they've come this far.

Members who have a political position and who, yes, should not be able to take time. It was thanks, for one thing, to the presence of Mr. Alger who was able to collect it.

Is that what she said when she said about herself to be worthless? At least this many people are gathered here, acknowledging her worth.

"Phew..."

Take a breath and I'll think about what I'm going to say.

... I'm a foot wrapper, but I don't want to end up with that.

The place that Mr. Algiers is aiming for right now is undoubtedly where the battle takes place.

I'm a businessman. I'm not as good at fighting as Mr. Fernote.

The members of that journey are strong enough that they are all alone in a single army, or, if they are bad, comparable to one country.

I'm the only one who's different. I'm a merchant everywhere, and I can only do it in self-defense.

Then we can't do it anymore. Things are getting so big.

That's why I didn't follow them.

Because I thought what I needed first from here was pure combat power, not knowledge of journeys, etc.

"… Now let's get down to business"

So here it is. This conference hall is the battlefield for me.

With my ability to sum up stories with my mouth, I've done this before. As a pedestrian, I've lived.

Here I stand. Try to help Mr. Alger by doing what he can even if he can't fight.

Remember Mr. Alger's face and breathe lightly. That calmed me down.

The faces that have gathered here have gathered to hear Mr. Alger's name. She connected us. So I'm sure you'd listen if you knew it was in her interest.

But you can't just listen to me. Consider the damage to ourselves from it. At least, that would be the case for Ments other than Lord of the Cyril Grand Safe. Everyone is the one who moves the country and has faith and a position.

... That's the biggest job you've ever had.

So there's one thing to say.

To exaggerate, to be a merchant, but to have expectations.

"Want to buy the future?

I just said the first words.

Come on, let's get this business started.
