Tower of Karma

"… let's take you underground"

Efo speaks to the two waiting in Ivan's private room.

Perhaps the information, which is really not good to be known, was hidden between now and now. Grey zones, no black sides, exist in every Chamber of Commerce. There is no such thing as a completely white chamber of commerce. But it is the difference between heaven and earth that is known to exist.

They were hidden or invisible.

(Perhaps there's no part of the transaction record that we want to know about. I've heard about Marquis Callis being a person, and if you're a perfectionist, you shouldn't hit a bad hand in such a part of it. It's impossible to keep leaping into a beast that spreads malice in vain for years)

Alfred wasn't interested in that part. The black part will transform depending on where and how far the Brusheek Chamber of Commerce is responsible for people buying, but even if it were black, it is society itself that should be blamed more than having sellers and buyers.

"I keep my books here. Be careful, it's dusty."

At the end of the door that Efo had opened, a large number of books were stored there.

A mountain of information, a record of a good number representing the Chamber of Commerce itself.

"Blonde blue-eyed boys and girls are popular in Nederks. I would like you to be prepared to do so in considerable quantities. I don't know if I can get to the information I'm looking for."

"Thank you. This line is age-specific, right?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Enough"

From there it was precisely Alfred's private altar. Quick enough to make me wonder if you're really reading it. There are limits to what I would call a nagging reading. Still, he will decipher one or two books, memorizing the blonde blue-eyed merchandise to be picked up in them, the trading record. That's monstrous business again. He decided to waste his time and truncate where he would normally pick it up and write it down and handle it all in his brain.

"... Ivan, I've been in this industry for a long time, and I was going to look at people somewhat. I was confident. But he couldn't tell. The monstrosity beneath your smile. He's a beast of knowledge."

It's what you like that makes you good at things. Instead of nature and his usual grin, he had a distorted grin that he could occasionally zero during the battle. Collect the point of knowledge and connect it with another point you have now. And in the form he was born, he gets comfort.

"How the hell am I supposed to raise her?"

Efo's tone, the sound of it was never all about the color of affirmation. The man who built him must have drowned him. I taught everything I could have as a technique of living from an early age the foundations of thinking. Thoroughly because of love, naturally so as not to call into question because of love, he gained a different perspective than the others.

The monster the boxyard gave birth to. It stained a different 'obvious' than people in a closed environment. I guess it's clumsy. And I guess it's time for parents and children to be monsters.

Efo saw a boy devouring boring information called records and felt a little pitied at the same time that he was horrified. He's come as far as he can't turn back. His thought circuit is no longer within the comprehensible reach of the rest of us.

Maybe he doesn't have a normal way of life left anymore than he has established a different perspective with people.

"Perfectionism, hence the footprint"

The monster smiles quietly.

I can see the blur and the shape.

Nearly half a day later, when he realized that he didn't eat and drink until the time when everyone was asleep, he let the information tread at a tremendous rate. The shape in which the history of this Chamber of Commerce was swallowed up.

Efo can only smile bitterly.

"Looks like he has some routes. But I could see it being sent north. Occasionally, I send it to another side, but I guess it was a kid who didn't smell like a blonde or do what he wanted."

"After all, the Bullseek Chamber of Commerce..."

"It's one of the focal points. Probably. Thirty years back, but forty-two cases he is believed to have been involved in. Within, four cases are not established. There were about seven smell extinguishers, and the times are not the same. Whatever it is, it's too few attempts."

"... surprised. It's pretty much the same as my view, huh?"

"I knew you knew. It was a dusty space, but the books were beautiful for the split, so I thought you probably viewed them recently."

"I couldn't possibly not look into it more than the face stripping demon, my son, conforms to the conditions. If my precious son is harmed by my work, it's the end of the line."

Ivan leans over with a complicated look at Efo's words. Being loved also means being his complex again. I didn't like myself looking for a reason because I was blessed to not win, etc., so I was trying not to lean on it.

"Were you here to buy directly? Surprisingly or inadvertently."

"No, Mr. Ivan. It just hasn't fallen out of the way. But I didn't, not once. What the Brusheek Chamber of Commerce deals with is luxury goods. We also need a warranty that some products are in good health, right?

"Really, you were watching it right at that speed."

"The certificate that it was healthy, I thought it was involved, and all the projects had the name of a hospital run by the Marquis Callis. The doctor was a city, but naturally there must be him behind it. There is only no place for reasoning. Because he's not stupid enough to leave a confirmation."

Still, formulas can be assembled and unraveled based on reasoning.

"Well, so what? We found signs that the Marquis Callis was moving, but I was wondering if that would be a little uncomfortable picking it off."

"Huh? I don't like it, Mr. Ivan. Why don't you go check it out?"

"To be sure? No way."

"Yes, let's head north. The Frozen Soil Survey Foundation, which had the highest number of cases on some routes, has become suspicious and I'm watching."

"... leaving Nederdam? In this situation now?

"Yes, if you hurry, go around."

Ivan was again shocked by the boy's lightness in his hips. Courage to get off the board in this turbulent phase. He doesn't ponder when he says that the situation could converge in the worst possible direction. No, it's already done in parallel.

Do what you can with the information you have now. The scrutiny is done. Then time to get lost is nothing but waste. Thorough and reasonable, hence no waste.

"Well, I got there in a day. Great."

"Haha, I would like your permission to go north for that."

"You can do whatever you want."

"For once our leader is Master Rudolph."

"Nheh. That's mean. I don't like that kind of thing. You know what I mean."

"Information, it's better than a leader who's grabbing it but won't tell me"

Rudolph threatens Alfred with a "yes" tongue with an iron wall smile on his face. It's not what I found out which one is older.

"The information Rudolph has grabbed over the years has been reached in one day and he's stubborn."

"Ha? You idiot, ahoy, dumb, drooling pa-"

At high speed, Rheinberga's fist stood on Rudolph's cheek. Rudolph being slammed straight against the blowing wall. Since when, this is what happened to the Lord's obedience. Time is scary, and my mother, who got children, is strong.

"I'm fainting."

"It's a daily tea meal."

"... just a little sympathy seems"

"Be careful what you say. Prince of Arcadia"

It was a crushed word because he thought he would never hear it, but the boy was oblivious to the fact that Rheinberga's hearing was not normal. It is Alfred, who is surprisingly and inadvertently shaken. Because of that accidental intent, I think a sharp intent to kill...

"It's just another story about whether we can move even if we get there. Once Nedeluxe, no, the whole world was on the verge of rupturing with a single pebble move. The beginning and end of the linkage to the western Estado if the Oriental male Arcadia moves. The White Knight, Arcadia led by the Ethereal Shield, Estado, an evil in history to say the Allies, and Arkland, led by the goddess of war raging around on all sides, could not move Aoyagi out of Nederdam under circumstances where the three sides gave him a glimpse. There are domestic problems, so it's even more so."

"I guess. That's why pawns like us have to move."

"Best regards,"

Rheinberga bows her head respectfully. I thought I had pruned my consciousness because I didn't want to show this figure to the Lord, but it must be too much for that, the boy thought inside out. I think Alfred is scared of a woman with a child.

Though it is a little further to really understand it.

"... sounds like fun"

Alfreds leaves, and the remaining crack rises.

"That's how you behave. The fact that the end is near is always in the corner of your head. I have that kind of distorted heart sound, so in him. Readiness and sway coexist."

"Whoo-hoo, you really can't get your head up. Not for that parent or child. A king is a pillar. Whoever has come to his place will regret it. There's really nothing at the top. Because it's the king's job to cut and expand where there's nothing left. Hell, the best part of hell is that nobody understands that. You can eat something delicious, a good woman can hold it, booze, gold and silver treasure, haha, no consolation whatsoever. Lonely, lonely, before its cold."

"... do you regret it?

"You threw it out? No, fine dust, too. William, even Al wants to throw it if he can throw it out. If I was real, if it was Wolfe's time, if Apollonia was abandoned, I'd think over and over again. Naturally. That's natural thinking. So, respect."

"Keeping at the top."

"I'm getting you to do a losing role. Thanks to that, we can sing. I'm not gonna let you pull my leg. That's about it."

"Intervention seems to be loose at that crack?

"You idiot. If I give Callis a big hand, that's the end of it. What do you think I left behind a drama called Marlten for? I let him go, and I left William. [M] Marlten and Callis."

"You think you need both?

"That's what I think. Enemies are necessary, and those who have faith are strong. Compared to a foot-pulling cunt who can't be an enemy or an ally, its value in use is out of the question."

"Whether it's available or not, right?

If it's unavailable, that's it.

"If so, what will they do?

"That's why you're saying you're leaving it behind."

Rudolph laughs naggingly looking at the night sky.

"Using that spear?

"If I didn't use it, I'd never have crossed it."

A boneless spear erected in the corner of the room. Simple construction with no decoration whatsoever. Still, I couldn't even shake it if I was who I once was. Heavy and 'you can't have anything heavier than a brush' is your adage.

"It's been tough falling to the ground, but I've got something to gain."

The two of us traveled, ran around the mountains, lost bets and fled the city naked, without a single sentence. I fell asleep whenever I wanted, and when I wanted money, I painted and overran the spot, and when I drank the water from the river that I had starved to quench my thirst, I broke my stomach as normal.

I got a happy time all over such mud.

"Yeah, that's right"

A man who knows heaven and earth has never forgotten to thank him since that day.

And time will come now.
