To Deprive a Deprived Person

Lesson 228: Which one?

City Cummer aristocratic district.

A street lined with mansions owned by nobles and the great merchants. One of its mansions, one of the mansions owned by Mago, had the appearance of Yu.

"Self-contained tents and impromptu soup are likely to be wholesaled in the near future because there doesn't seem to be any particular problem"

A yu sitting on a Wood Payne sofa sips tea when she puts materials on the table with details of the magic implements and processed foods made by the nameless kingdom.

"Ho-ho, that's more than anything.

All of Master Yu's wholesale items sell well and are sold to fly at the same time as they arrive at my Chamber of Commerce.

Nowadays, in my own shop, I mix with adventurers and mercenaries, and the common people not only buy cheap potions, but also honey for the five virtues and jams. It's a delightful scream, but the store keeper will ask you when your next arrival will be. Not only Cummer, of course. Same situation in stores in Samantha and Molly Ghoul. "

Mago happily reports that it is thriving not only in the city Cummer, but also in the stores that open in the city Samantha and the fortress city Molly Ghoul.

"Ahhh.

Did you send the item pouch more than that?

"There's no pullout there either.

It is awkward for me to go directly to the King's Capital, so I left it to the trustworthy. I have just confirmed that I have given the item pouch to the other side safely from that person. But all that number of item pouches for what? In the first place, Master Yu has his own item pouch. "

"Whoa ho!

It was a deliberate cough.

Currently this room was not even waiting for an escort because it was paying people, only tea and light tea treats were available at the table, and only three people in the room were Yu and Mago, plus Victor.

And it is naturally Victor who has now interrupted Yu's conversation with Mago. This man, at a good age, can't bear to be without himself in the center of the wheel.

"What the fuck?"

As Yu looks depressed, Mago turns his chilling gaze to Victor.

"No. Dear Satoh, even with my connections, it was hard to cash in on all that precious metal."

Stares at the box where Victor is piled up like a mountain as he picks and pulls his mustache with his fingertips. In the non-narrow interior, it was so compressive that Victor felt it in the boxes he had brought in. The contents are the price of precious metals sold by Yu to Victor.

"Don't complain because instead of saying you can't, you sold it a lot cheaper than the market"

"No way! This Victor, complaining to Master Satou, etc. is very, but I can't tell you!

"I told you earlier."

"Hah, did you?

But as Lord Mago said earlier, it's called an item pouch. It's called this much cash. Something funny is about to happen. "

"What's funny?

Mago asks Victor in surprise.

"Right.

For example, it is time for an auction in the King's Capital, which is also held only once a year, not only by the nobility of the Kingdom of Oudon. They say a large number of nobles and royalty have already come to Tenkasi, the king's capital, from afar. Hi, they're getting information that a hell of a substitute will be on the market, and I don't know where to start with that information, who's circulating it, or the end of it in this victor. "

Victor turns his gaze to Yu in a meaningful way as he strokes his beard.

"No, I'm just hoping that this Victor will join us, even if it's not.

And tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the envoy of the Minister of Finance, Value, should arrive in Cummer. "

The moment Value's name comes up, Mago's face tenses strong. Normally, he was not even like an old mago dealing with a thousand merchants and nobles in Haichiyama.

"It is also easy to imagine that Satou has something to do with this Victor, as that haughty and arrogant Value deliberately imitates the kind of trouble of sending your own messenger to Kammer. Because, no haha! This is funny - no, this is rude. But it smells like gold."

"Master Yu, what is the story of Lord Victor now?"

"I can check this one out.

He wants to hear about Cummer's tax revenues, so an envoy is coming to convince Muss to come to the King's Capital, but he wants Muss to join him because he will give me a medal for his destiny. "

"Definitely. It must be a trap."

Mago shrugs, covering his face with his hands, as he suppresses his anger. If I had retreated my hand, I would have been able to see the face of one man who put his life into revenge, not the face of a merchant there.

"I know that."

Contrary to the exciting mago, Yu is calm, picking one tea treat from the table and throwing it into his mouth.

"No way...... Master Yu, aren't you going to King's Capital!?

"I don't know."

"That can't be all! Finance ministers tend to seem greedy and dull, but that is a big mistake!! Do you think you can do something like just greedy people cowing the tables and back of the Kingdom of Woodon for years? The nature of the man is cunning and cruel -"

"So I'm telling you I know. Don't worry, I'll keep my promise to you."

"Master Yu doesn't even think of the dust as making a difference to my agreement.

But then... "

"Oh? Lord Mago, what's wrong? You look so scared."

It was a victor who spoke to the mago in a deceitful manner, but did not miss the glimmering glance behind the mago's drooping lid.

Ho ho, I'd like to confirm one thing with Lord Victor.

"What is it?

At the request of Lord Mago. Whatever it is, I'll answer most of this Victor thing!

"I ask you frankly, which side (...) is Lord Victor on?

The call bell was held in the right hand of the mago, which did not distract him from his gaze from Victor. This one way of ringing the bell determines whether it is the maid who comes into the room or the guard who keeps her waiting outside the room. If the latter, what awaits Victor is death.

I said frankly, which side is abstract?

"Ridiculous words and deeds will destroy you if you don't speak of time and circumstances.

You think I don't know Lord Victor is making out with Finance Minister Value?

Come on, we're done with the crappiness. Do you want me to be clear on this occasion as to whether it will be on Master Yu or on Value? "

The pressure emanating from the entire body of the mago was so impatient that it seemed like a very one-way merchant.

However, Victor's attitude did not change slightly under that impatient pressure. No, I'd rather split my face open so I can get even further.

"Lord Mago, even though you resent (...) Master Value, it's awkward to call him away! Huh. Well, it's between me and Lord Mago, so I'm not going to imitate what you're going to tell Master Value."

Mago's words are not threats, etc.

In contrast to Victor, who grins at the evidence, Mago's expression is faceless as if he had lost his emotions.

Mago tries to ring the bell to end Victor.

"Huh. Nevertheless, it's a masterpiece on which side."

Mago's hand just stopped trying to ring the bell now.

Because I saw Victor's face. There he was, not a clown-like man who scoffed and sometimes scoffed at people, but a great merchant in the mood and air who deserved to be said to be one of the heavy towns of the free state of Harmeln.

"Lord Mago, have you forgotten our profession?

"Occupation...?

"Yes, it's not a job."

I'm a merchant.

"Exactly.

Then it's up to you which way it goes. He's a lucrative man. "

"Then be an idiot!?

"Oh? As a merchant, I'm saying something extremely obvious, but was it something strange?"

Victor speaks without evil.

"Master Yu, may I dispose of it?

"Nothing good."

"Become!? What do they say to Master Yu? Return this man like this and he will have a lot of information leaked to the value!!

"Leaks or no leaks will not change the results.

I'm talking about making money out of it. Then it's on us. "

"Hah. That's Master Satoh, you know what I'm talking about!! Let us swear on this occasion that this Victor will never divulge any information about Mr. Satou to Master Value!!

Victor swears as he lays his hands on the great bangs and niggles. That ridiculous attitude fuels the anger of the mago more and more.

"It's decided to lie!!

Dear Yu, I don't deserve to believe anything this man says or anything else!!

Victor looked funny as he stroked his mustache at the mago that exposed his emotions. There are no shadows or shapes there, such as the style of being a big merchant until earlier.

"Easy, Mago.

I can tell the lies of a guy who's malicious to me because I've been dealing with crumbs all my life. "

"So you say it's not a lie?

"Funny thing is, Victor doesn't mean anything to you."

"It's not a laugh. Our, I can't give up here..."

"Hah, you've learned one more secret from Master Satou. This may not be a long day for me and Master Satou to get to know each other, okay?

"Clowning."

Mago squeaks like throwing up.

"What, Lord Mago, please calm down. I will gladly be on Master Satou's side, even if my parents and brothers are opponents, as long as I am gold! That's not a lie, Mr. Satou. What's wrong?

Victor makes a rare and awkward look at Yu staring at himself with a strange face.

"No, as long as it's gold,"

"Exactly! You victor!! The money, too, made me a merchant because I wanted to get huge amounts of money. You love money more than anyone!!

It is a natural idea as a merchant. Mago and I would have agreed if we hadn't even avenged the value.

"You're called Victor of Thirst."

"Ha ha! This is embarrassing.

This Victor, if you're not surrounded by gold, it's going to dry you out. You want some money? The more, the more my thirst is healed.

Now, how much wealth does Master Satoh bring to me? I'm looking forward to having fun. "

"Stay dry"

"In Mi? What did they say now?"

"I told you your thirst would never heal. No matter how much money you get, it stays dry in your heart. 'Cause what you really want isn't money."

"What I... really want...?

Through the side of the distracted Victor, Yu heads to the door.

"Which way, Master Yu?

"I'm busy even looking like this. If you need anything, I'll get back to you."

Even after Yu left the room, Victor remained solidified with his imaginary face.

The Muss Hall, which dominates the city of Cummer, is built on one of the most expansive mansions in the aristocratic district. Apart from the main building, there are a number of annexes on the site of about 160,000 square meters, each of which is called a grand mansion and is an unsupported building.

One of the many annexes is surrounded by diners, beginning with Joseph.

"Suddenly there was something called a gathering?

"I wanted to take more naps"

"Why don't you go into your room?"

A giant Yarkum pushes Claudia and Lara into the room.

The third floor of the annex where the diners live. In the room used to discuss it, a fully armed Lauren stood and waited without even taking a seat.

"What. Lauren, dress so noisy."

"What's going on?

"Well, you know what?"

When Claudia lines up the back of the room, the seat in the upper seat, Lara also sits beside it.

A wind entered through the open window stroked the two cheeks.

"So, what's the story?

Claudia asks boring as she clutches her cheeks. In fact, it's boring because Joseph hasn't shown himself in the last few days to see where he's walking. Next to that Claudia, Lara was already shaking her body back and forth to sleep.

"That's not a big story.

For Lord Muss, just teach the wrong son of a bitch how tough the world is and put a collar on it. "

"Be tough on the fucking kid."

You're not interested in talking about Yarkum, Claudia hammers appropriately as she hammers her hair. Blue muscles float on Yarkum's temples in that licked attitude, but still Claudia's attitude remains the same. On the contrary, when I see Lara snoring and a mean grin, I tickle around Lara's nose with my own hair. Lara couldn't stand Claudia and laughed "Fuhihi" at the way she cracked her nose.

"Who the fuck are you talking about, by the way?

"Whether it's Satoh or not."

Claudia's mischievous hand stopped and Lara opened her eyes.
