To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 201: Dinner Party

Though Flang helped the children who were about to be attacked by a human escort on the beach with a single hair. There were people watching the situation from the woods.

"Shit, that petenmaster bastard. I'm trying to help the kids. If I abandoned him, I would have killed him on the spot."

The Black Leopard Beastman man groaned abominably.

Around the man was not only the Beast tribe, but also the depravity, the fallen demons and the appearance of the Demons. They were all wrapped in the same outfit, shaded as if they were melting into the trees around them.

This outfit is made from the skin of a demon named Chameleon, which lives in a botanical labyrinth. Therefore, in response to the surrounding colors, the outfit has the skill of applying camouflage, but the hands of Yu and Russ further imparted the skills of silencing and deodorizing.

"Either way, I'm glad the kids are safe."

"What are you talking about? There are beasts in the woods over there, demons up there, and corrupt people from the smell, though you can't see them there. I'm sure the demons are lurking somewhere. The kids should have been safe even if that pettent and us hadn't moved.

And I wonder what happened to the king. I've been bringing people's grandfathers before, hasn't it?

"Not Grandpa. Call me a teacher."

I can't hide my frustration. No, a corrupt man praises a beast man who doesn't even try to hide it, but the beast man still looked dissatisfied.

"What the fuck, you. Are you complaining about what the king does?

In this same dressed group, just one agaphon dressed in obsidian iron armor approached the beast man.

"Agafon, watch your mouth, okay? How old do you think I am?"

"It matters! I'll forgive anyone who speaks ill of the king.

"Don't get on with it. By and large, why are you here? We're moving with the king's permission. It doesn't matter. He doesn't talk."

Agafon and the Beastman man stare at each other. We put our hands on each other's weapon patterns, so that they become instant.

"Agafon is right. I will not forgive anyone who complains about what the King does."

The only thing that stopped the two fighting was a man covered from head to neck with a headscarf. The fact that there were two swells at the top of the headscarf made it possible to see that the man was probably an animal tribe.

"What the hell. You're on Agafon's side."

"I don't care about that. I asked him if he was complaining about what the king did."

He was a man of beasts who had been silent for a long time, but eventually opened his mouth.

"..."

"Ah?"

I said, "I'm not complaining about what the king does."

"Fine then. Remember, thanks to the king, we are here now.

Hmm? Agafon, where are you going?

"It's up to the king, isn't it? I'm sure the merchants of the people will be staying, so we should go to Dishtree."

That's what Agafon said, scratching the trees away. Those who are left behind are admired by the behavior of free-flowing agaphons.

"Son of a bitch... you can do whatever you want with a young cunt, give it a try"

The Black Leopard Beastman man still didn't seem convinced by Agafon's attitude earlier, and his anger couldn't heal.

"Kuhaha. Sure Agafon is a busty lad, but the feeling of thinking of a king is real. Come on, we're moving to a place where we can keep an eye on the dish tree."

When the headscarf man called, the group disappeared into the woods without sound.

"This is another stunning dish tree."

Victor groans as he looks up at the great tree that stands in front of him, twenty meters high and fifty meters wide.

A dish tree is a tree whose branches, as its name suggests, are spread out in dishes, and the branches of this tree are incredibly sturdy, and that is so much so that there are dozens of people on one branch, but not even vicious. So much so that some of the species living in the woods form villages with dwellings in Dishtree.

"I know, but this tree is alive, so don't scratch it."

"Waha. You think this Victor would do something to annoy Master Satoh?

"Master Yu, here today?

Mago talks to Yu ignoring the familiar Victor as usual.

"Oh, it will be night when we return to Pauvre from this hour. It's dangerous to sail the ocean at night."

"Ho ho, I see"

It was such a victor even if it was ignored by Yu, but I realized that some of the people who were in love with Dishtree did not have a merchant escort.

"Oh, hey, hey? Lord Bolivar, I can't seem to see the escort?

"Yeah, I see."

How many of these would have been fulfilled by those who noticed that Victor's expression was strong, albeit slightly?

"You're not going to embarrass me, are you?

"What's going on? I don't even want to be normal."

This merchant named Bolivar is one of the merchants brought by Victor. He realizes that there is no merchant escort of his own, but he does not evil, and he also behaves as if he were natural. Now there would be no choice but to be received as something that would apply mud to Victor's face.

"Hmm...... What do you mean it's not like me?

"Sometimes I've made a lot of money working with you as a commercial enemy, but aren't you a little too obsessed with Master Satou? The escorts I brought in... they're not. Pressed (...) Guards are the hands of the Minister of Values and Finance."

The surroundings bothered Bolivar's words. Especially the chiefs of Lubanov, Bjarne, and Mauno, and those who accompanied them as they escorted the chief, were relegated to killing.

"Look, look"

"What is it?

With the same frigid grin as usual, the pressure emanating from Victor's entire body was like a first-rate warrior.

"The usual you wouldn't have praised me here and blamed me, would you? If you are involved in commerce in the Kingdom of Oudon in the first place, everyone knows that defying the Minister of Finance is synonymous with death as a merchant. Lord Mago, who is now there, was also temporarily in a crisis of management.

I am not offended by the Finance Minister's mood, and I have brought information to Master Satou that the Finance Minister may know about this country. Perhaps, but aren't the missing escorts already being processed by Master Satou?

Victor and Mago glanced at Yu's face all together. There was a figure of Yu flat as if nothing had happened there.

"You're the first merchant I've seen. Is that a waza or something?

"My name is Bolivar. I was relieved that it seemed a little impressive."

"This is why I don't trust merchants. It's already sunset. Let's get this crappy argument over to dinner."

When one merchant after another was led into the dish tree by one of the dish-shaped branches, it was the nameless kingdom girls in matching maid clothes who greeted them.

"I've been waiting for you. This way, please."

The girls will take care of the merchant's jacket and luggage and guide them to their seats. Some merchants, who thought she was a lowly subhuman girl, could not hide their surprises in that polite response.

It was only natural that the courtesy of these girls had been tapped into them by Frang, who had worked fraud against nobles and merchants.

Even though they were merchants who didn't expect as much from dishes from despicable island countries, they were surprised by the course dishes they had done. The dishes brought in one after the other, such as appetizers, salads and soups, all tasted unplugged in first-class shops.

"I was also surprised that Master Satoh would cook for himself, but I was even more surprised by the taste of it"

Include wine in your mouth while one of the merchants admires the meal.

"That's where the liquor is. That's what Frang chose."

When he came back, Frang watched the girls work in the corner.

"I was surprised, too. This is Kammer's famous Le Larange full course and unblemished cuisine."

"What did you know? That's right. This full course is a reference to the full course of Le Larange that I use when negotiating with Mago."

"The meat from the meat dish earlier was the Wodon Magic Bull, right? I didn't know you could eat Woodon Devil's Beef meat in a place like this - did I say something strange?

At the end of the merchant's gaze was Agaphone, who was well mixed among those who escorted the chiefs.

"Agafon, are you the guard of the chiefs, too?

"Ugly. It's the king's escort."

"No! This guy's not on port duty today, but he's on his own!

"Buh!? Flavia, don't say anything unnecessary! I'm getting my job done!

One of the maids, Flavia, immediately tells Yu, but he hurriedly mumbles when Flang stares at the language and the serious attitude of the maid.

"Fine, but I have a guest today, so make yourself comfortable."

"Dear Satou, please wait. Earlier that young man laughed at my words. I'd like to know why."

'Cause you said you were the meat of the Wodon Magic Bull.'

"What's that? This meat is undoubtedly a Wodon demon cow, it must also be a female cow from the fineness of this meat, soft enough to chew it off with its lips."

"No, I'm not. The meat is a combination of a Wodon demon cow and a regular cow."

"Ba, stupid!? Are you telling me you brought Woodon Devil Bull back alive from 'Devil's Prison'!?

Woodon Demon Cows live in the 'Devil's Prison' of the A-rank Labyrinth in the King's Capital. This labyrinth boasts some of the most difficult of the labyrinths in the Kingdom of Oudon, with its high ranking demons. In the first place, the Wodon Devil Bull itself is a fierce demon, and defeating it is a difficult undertaking such as taking him out of the labyrinth alive anyway.

"Hehe, my king is awesome, isn't he? And the food you're feeding is different."

"Make sure you tell me! Is the bait any special pasture, or is it mixed with straw? How did you bring home a more temperamental Woodon Devil Bull alive than that? What are you looking out for when making you mate with a regular cow?

The merchant, who was inside angry that the Subman had fooled him, now stumbles upon Agafon just saying he doesn't care about that. Anyway, we may be able to raise Woodon Demon Cows as livestock, which can only be obtained in "The Devil's Prison". There are mountains of nobles who call themselves gastronomers. And all who do not put threads on gold if they are to obtain good things.

"No bait. A - I don't know... Chief, why are you hitting me?"

"Why not! How can you tell the king's secrets so much about the Peripheral Nation!!

"'Cause you're stupid."

Agafon sees Lubanov with a resentful face as he rubs his battered head, but when he gets his ear grabbed, he is pulled as-is and taken to another room. The merchant who tried to extract the information from Agafon followed with his eyes the rear of Agafon, who was unfortunately taken out, and then turned his gaze to Yu.

"I won't tell you. I've spent a lot of time raising them over here."

"It's a shame. I'll pay you, so what do you want me to tell you?

"If you don't get a hundred, you don't get a percentage."

"Hundreds...... ten billion madka!?

"That's not an amazing amount of money. I think it's worth it. Right. It's pathetic not to teach anything, so if you teach me a little, I raise more than one cow in my country besides the one I put out this time. Besides cattle, pigs, birds, sheep, goats, crops."

"Oh my...!? Is it possible to show them to you?

"If you do business with us, you'll see it if you don't want to."

"That's Master Satou! So, can you just sneak up on me later?

"I'd rather not tell you."

"See ya. Say that nonsense"

Although there was a little commotion, the dinner party was successfully concluded, and now Yu was exchanged and the merchants were collecting information in the name of the welcome.

"We've made money on this business."

"Right. But I'm surprised they bought most of these prepared items."

"I don't take taxes in my country. You're out of money."

"Have you not taken the tax? Doesn't that make it a country, then?

"It won't be long before we have a country. I'm telling you I made more money than that, but you're not really making that much money for coming to such a despicable place, are you?

The merchants look at each other and smile bitterly. The profit was, but we couldn't get the potion we were looking for, so we didn't have to hit it far.

"By the way, a country called Mobile, you know?

The merchants nodded uniformly.

"The Third Prince of Mobel - isn't it? The king and I know each other, and I think we know that country, but we lost the war against Lopginus and are currently rebuilding. So I need to talk to you, are you willing to make a deal with Mobel?

The merchants' reaction to Yu's inquiry was not fragrant.

If you are a merchant here, it was natural information to know that the Kingdom of Mobel lost its war against Lopginus and the treasury was totally teased for compensation and war expenses.

"You don't need to worry about tariffs, do you? Trade on this island. And don't worry about money."

Although there are many points of entry from the Kingdom of Oudon to the Kingdom of Maubel, merchants are subject to customs duties on goods. Yu guessed he was worried about it and told him he could trade on the island, but the merchants still reacted faintly.

"You say not to worry, but I very much don't think Mobel, a defeated country, has the money to buy goods from us. In these cases, exchanges and payments are paid later, such as in a statement. I mean, sometimes you don't pay a dime while you're out of money."

"I'll lend you the money."

"But..."

Even though Yu told him he was lending money, he still couldn't trust the merchant.

"Mago, Victor. Let it out."

"" May I?

"Show me the cash and you'll be convinced."

Mago and Victor take a bunch of boxes out of the item pouch and line them up. And when I opened one of the boxes, there were white gold coins packed tightly and arranged. It is the number of pieces that are quoted as few as thousands.

"Oh... what's this?

"Ma... in all this box!?

"It's part of my money here (...). We owe Mobel over a hundred billion dollars, so you guys won't miss the price. Don't tell the king of Mobel to pay cash, either."

This gold is part of the treasure that was obtained by defeating the ancient dragon Magranals in the mago and victor's shop. Though part of the proceeds of the sale were paid as compensation, it was helpful because from the untransmitted yu to the merchants who could carry huge quantities of jewellery, time would not be divided either.

"What do you say? You're motivated, aren't you?

I didn't even have to be asked. If it is a cash payment, how tasty a customer is in a country where supplies are scarce. The merchants couldn't help but laugh.

"Dear Satou, I'll take care of it! So since when can you make a deal?

"If it's cereal, I'll take care of it!

"No, no! It's up to me!

"I was wondering if my Chamber of Commerce could help me when it comes to clothing."

Bolivar approaches Yu with the merchants' heating appeal match on their asses.

"Dear Satou, if you entrust me with the finances of the nameless kingdom, I am confident that within thirty years you will create a country comparable to the five powers. For once, can't you think about it?

It was a hell of a statement. I asked you to leave the finances of a country to me, not your merchant. Bolivar's face was full of confidence. It's not a lie, I'm really confident I'll achieve a country comparable to the five powers within thirty years.

"You say the same thing (...)"

Although Bolivar unexpectedly looks at Victor.

"No. Victor doesn't say such crap. I said Mago. But it wasn't 30 years, it was within 20 years."

Mago remembered that time, laughing and deluding.

"No. Master Satou, you're embarrassed to be so praised."

"I'm not praising you."

Victor squeaks as he walks past the side of Bolivar.

"Lord Bolivar is a boring man."

Bolivar stared bitterly at Victor, but Victor wrapped himself around Yu without worrying about it.
