To Be a Power in the Shadows!
Fake Bills Rumors
The warm winter sun was plugging into the back of the room. On a pleasant sunny afternoon, anger echoed at the headquarters of the Garter Chamber of Commerce.
"Why can't we find out where the fake bills came from!
Moon Dan slaps his desk with his fist and intimidates the chairman of the chamber of commerce, Garter, who drips his head off.
"Well, I tracked it down to the point where it was coming in via the outlaw city, but the investigation of the outlaw city was risky and investigators kept me informed..."
Garter, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, excuses himself as Bosoboso.
The substantial ruler of the Garter Chamber of Commerce is Moon Dan, not Garter.
Moon Dan needed a lot of money to improve his position in the church. But he is an animal man whose name has been sold. It's risky to be on the table.
That's where they created the Garter Chamber of Commerce. At present, the flag of the Federation of Great Chambers of Commerce is seen to be Garter, but the Moon Dan actually stands behind it.
"You know we don't have time!? Rumors of fake bills are already spreading in Wang Du!!
"Yes, that's... More and more people are already exchanging notes and cash…"
"Heh, it's too soon!
"A large redemption came in this morning and it's accelerating all at once......! The Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of the Federation of Chambers also told me that the complaint was different…… and he also asked me if I could close the safe and stop replacing it…"
"You idiots! Shut him up now! If you do that, the rumors will spread in an instant and the people will push you from all over Wang capital!!
"But I don't have the funds as it is......!
"I know that!!
Moon Dan slapped his desk with that fist again.
"Hi-!!"
A thick wooden desk can fly shattered and make small cuts to Garter's face.
Moon Dan peeled out his dog's teeth and stared out with those blocked eyes.
"... You said a large cash order came in this morning"
"Yes, sir"
"Too soon. Someone could be fanning. That must be in spite of the fake bills. Find out now..."
"Yes, no!
As Garter ran away, Moon Dan covered his own eyes with his hands.
Zukizuki and it hurts as if the lost eyeballs are there. At a time like this, there must be a past involved somewhere.
"No way... No, I shouldn't..."
Moon Dan covered his eyes for a while and traced his old memories.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
With a white breath, Alexia was running through the streets of the king's capital.
Tales of rumored fake bills had reached her ears these days as well.
An unprecedented favourable economy that began with a dispute between the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Great Chambers of Commerce. And the black rumors lurking behind it......
Alexia was skipping school just this day to look into fake bills.
Then, in the morning, it was found that a large amount of cash was exchanged in the Great Chamber of Commerce Federation. And rumors of the collapse of the Great Chamber of Commerce have spread rapidly.
Rumors are flying around the city with tails on, and people are heading to the Federation of Great Chambers early.
Something - something bad happens.
Alexia hurried to Royal Castle to talk to her sister.
My sister Iris was in the dojo behind the royal castle. Lately, her sister has been stuck in the dojo.
"Sister, listen to me!
Alexia speaks to Iris, who sets up a practice sword.
But Iris glared at Alexia with those red eyes.
"Alexia, I work out."
"Sister, now Wang Du is in big trouble -!"
"Alexia! I said I was working out!
"Sister......"
On his sister's sword screen, Alexia laid her eyes down.
"You know that, Alexia. I have to be strong. Never lose again..."
That day, her sister changed slightly after losing to Shadow at the Martial Arts Festival.
Disappointment around you, and your first setback......
My sister asked for strength.
Seeking strength, and how long only strength has gone into my eyes.
A voice of doubt is also raised by members of the "Red Knights" who have followed me in admiration of my sister.
Alexia thinks. Everyone admired their sister, certainly there would have been trust in its strength. But that shouldn't have been all.
There must have been something more important...
"I understand your sister's thoughts. But please, just listen to me."
"... okay, just talking"
Iris lowers his sword, staring at Alexia.
"Now in Wangdu, the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Great Chambers of Commerce are in contention. They issue banknotes..."
Alexia gave a polite account of the disturbances taking place in the Wang capital.
But.
"- So?"
My sister's reply was unsolicited.
"That's what's going on. It won't matter to me."
"It doesn't matter, sister......!
"You just have to leave that to the civilian. Or do you think we knights should break into the Chamber of Commerce and cut off the merchants?
"Yes, it's certainly not the Knight's area. So, but... an old sister would still have tried to do something about it..."
Alexia's voice grew a little smaller.
"I have something to do. If this time it is not time to tailor Shadow to regain the trust of the people, I…"
Iris took her gaze off of her leaning Alexia and waved her sword.
The sword is sharp and its caged magic is immense.
But the sword looked very ugly in Alexia's eyes.
"Sister......"
Alexia groaned sadly, leaving the dojo behind.
