A city-state rating located on the eastern edge of the City-State Union. The town has developed from its location through trade with the Kingdom of Nagras, and is a city where peddlers and caravans continue to go west and east every day.
Intense There are many firms based in this city, and competition is just that much. If you are scared, you will be outwitted, and if you are not careful, you may lose your entire asset.
Along the main street, which runs east and west through the eaves town, there were large and small firms dealing with a wide variety of products. One building in it. At the front entrance is a sign engraved with the name "Litte Shokai".
Like the surrounding buildings, this building also has a store and reception on the first floor, and on the second floor there is a sitting area, an employee room, and a room for the chairman of the firm.
The doors facing the hallways are nothing new. Even if the owner of the building changes and the chairman changes, he must have watched it all the time. The presence of an old, but carefully cared out door calms the surroundings and makes you feel the long lived life of this building.
"So why does that girl have to go to Nagras ?!"
Severe voices ruining such an atmosphere resounded in the room.
There are two women in the chairman's room. Shouting loudly was Ellie, the daughter of the Lovell firm. A late teen woman with a bright long blonde. She is angry with her blue eyes while shaking her shoulders.
On the other hand, the anger has been spearheaded by the chairman of the room, Litte Shokai, Marida. Large short-haired brown eyes with a gray shortcut. This is also around the age of 20s, just like Erie.
Both of them were not so beautiful, but each had a beautiful face. If you're facing each other and chatting gracefully, you'll be able to get a good glance from men.
At this time, the air flowing into the room was hard to say. Gaze at Marrieda sitting calmly on the sofa, and Ellie stands up and looks at the person in front of her.
"Elie. The daughter before her wedding doesn't shout like that."
Marrieda soothes Ellie, who is about to grab.
"You did what made you yell at you"
Ely sits down on the sofa with her annoyance, seemingly settled out loud.
"Because I'm a merchant, I don't know how to save my childhood crisis, but I can't afford to lend free before my subordinates. In exchange for the loan, I do something important for the company. This is like a commercial transaction. "
"But Cyrill doesn't matter."
"That's not the case. Even though Cyril is an apprentice, you're still a member of the Lovell firm, and we'll do everything we can to avoid problems, as the firm's path will have a great impact on his future. Of course it is. "
However, in the case of Kirill, she feels more for Elie than the firm, Marrieda mutters only in her heart.
"The financing has been settled. Julis from Zimbaril will take over our debt ..."
My concubine, "Well? Why don't you tell Cyril to watch Ellie become Julis instead?"
"I can't help me. I didn't think I could have a decent marriage, and as long as it was" decimated, "it would be better for the firm to give its mark to our best people. "
"Erie"
Immediately, Marida becomes serious.
"Sure, there's no one who can't say what Ely is 'decimated'. If Elie succeeds the firm, he'll probably struggle because of it."
Marrieda's big eyes shoot through Erie. Isa Hides her usual sloppy tone and adds Ellie with plain language.
"If you gave up your life for that reason, what would be the position of a person who is trying to support you? Do you deny it? "
"……sorry"
Ellie uttered a sorry apology for what she thought of Marida. In response, Marida's atmosphere returns to the usual bright one.
"You don't have to apologize. Well, I'm not in a position to say anything like that."
Marrieda knew well that the worst was himself. For the purpose, even the misfortune of a childhood friend is ridiculed, lying like exhaling and treating a young child like a piece. If he dies, he'll go to hell, Marrieda can leave out like another person.
"Hey, Marida. Can you still tell Cyril to pick you up and come back?"
"That's meaningless. If you're on schedule, you're about to head here from Nagras."
As stated by Marida, Kirill departed Leitin more than ten days ago. There is nothing to recall the human being returning.
"If it's safe, isn't it? Anyway, if you're an adult, Cyril is still a 12-year-old kid? You know your father and you're silent ..."
He is, of course, negotiated with Ellie's father, the chairman of the Lovell firm. He had been cheated with a good reason to keep Erie from noticing Cyril's absence.
If Elie knows this early on, she could quickly rush to escort and follow Kirill. Ellie was such a woman.
Eventually, he's gone, but if Cyril might come back today, he won't jump out of town and search to avoid crossing.
Road bank: "Okay, okay. Because Cyril is solid for his age. I'm giving him the necessary expenses, and I'll ask the acquaintance's caravan to ride the carriage to the capital city of Nagras.ぃ .If you return home and take advantage of the caravans, you'll be asleep right after your sleep. "
"For real?"
Ellie asks with a sad face. To be honest, it's hard for a merchant to have such emotions.
This is Ellie, but it's usually fine. In addition, the merchant's capabilities are much higher than Marida. Product knowledge, calculation ability, connoisseur, ability to read business opportunities, ability to imagine. All have the same or better power than Marida.
However, the problem is one point. He is too merciful as a merchant.
Remarkable This is especially true when family members and close friends are involved. It is a good duck for veteran merchants who have not been able to perform stomachs.
Concubine Even if you settle this case, it might be better for Elie to stop taking over the firm in the future. Keep your mind calm while laughing on your face. And it is business that must make ruthless decisions if necessary.
Strong It is required that even a childhood friend can use it. Just like Marida today. Of course, it's not a praise to use your ally as a stepping stone, but it's quite common to use it without any disadvantage.
However, it's difficult to draw that border. Marrieda answers with a smile to Erie.
"Really real"
Well, maybe I don't have enough money, but I don't dare say that.
"That's right ... there would be mercenaries for escorts if they were caravans. Are you okay?"
"I'm coming back safely. It's okay."
If it goes well, a spooky escort will stick. Safety along the way is assured.
"Speaking of which ... what did Cyrill go to Nagras for?
People "It's not a big business. It's just because."
Almost at the same time as Marida replied, the door of the chairman's office was lightly knocked. A young man who came in with permission told the guest.
"I can see Cyril and her companion from Lovell Shokai. There is no promise in advance, how about you?"
