Lesson 36: Robbins Chamber of Commerce

After requesting Luke's intelligence unit measures at the Deodard Chamber of Commerce, the Rays headed to the Robbins Chamber of Commerce in the same commercial district.

The distance is only about 300 m (melt) but travels in a blacksmith guild carriage.

"Isn't it faster to walk," Ryan says, while Luna nods, "Right." But I'll explain why right away.

"Maybe, but Mr. Alan's got to be on the lookout. 'Cause if I go suddenly, it's gonna be a big deal."

"Is it going to be a big deal? What's this all about?

"I think it's a big deal, too, but it's just called the Lockhart family..."

Though clouding the words, they were somehow passed on not only to Ryan, but also to the Rays.

Less than five minutes later the carriage stopped.

"It's the headquarters of the Robbins Chamber of Commerce," Alliance official Alan Mold says.

When I get out of the carriage, a flashy sign of pastel color pops into my eyes.

"I didn't really care yesterday, but it's amazing to see it in front of me..." Ray muttered.

"Right. Something that surprised me the first time I saw it too. Because it doesn't fit this world at all..."

"Yeah. I'd believe it if they told me it was a theme park store somewhere... is this Zach's idea too?

"Yeah, that's right. But I was laughing because I failed myself."

After such a conversation, open the door based on white.

"Welcome" echoes the bright voice of a young female employee.

If it were supposed to be here, I'd say, "Would you like to have it here? Or are you taking it home? They ask," but because of the touch, the words were not heard. Instead, a man of about fifty years' width appears before them.

"Welcome. Master Luna," he says, bowing his head.

"Long time no see, Mr. Burt"

Burt Robbins breaks up and bows his head again, but notices the Rays and returns his expression.

"Welcome everyone else. I'll show you to the reception room."

That's what I'm going to show you upstairs.

Ashley, Stella, Ryan and Ione follow with their eyes blinded by Gelato's showcase, which they have never seen before.

Unlike in a pop atmosphere store, the reception room felt calm. A solid leather sofa is adorned with polished sandalwood tables and pale scenic paintings on the walls.

The glass windows were also large, overlooking the Triumph, and the beautiful streets of the Imperial City could be seen without being spared.

A secretarial female employee serves herbal and chocolate cookies. Where the female employee has fallen, Burt bows his head again.

"Again, thank you very much."

In contrast, Luna responds with a smile.

"I apologize for suddenly being a grandfather. I just had business to come to the Imperial City, so I stopped by."

"You're always welcome. Especially since Luna has thought about a number of new products."

The Rays have a surprising look on the words.

"Really?" Ryan said in his mouth unexpectedly.

"Yeah, some of the classic menus I have right now are what I suggested," he said with a laugh. Then I'm going to introduce the Rays.

Bart is also surprised to hear that Ray is a white military master and that Ashley is Hamish Markat's only daughter, but he knew surprisingly much about the battle against the Demons.

"I also heard that the great army of demons appeared in Periclitle, cooling my liver. I thought it would be okay for the Lockhart family, because I was talking about how many minutes Zacharias were gone."

"Yeah, but hardly any troops seemed to have attacked the village this time. Sure, it looks like a couple of wing demons attacked, but I heard the archers got rid of them."

"I also listened to you at the Blacksmith Guild and it's a relief. So what can I do for you today? Tell me what I can do."

He didn't think Luna was here for the public discourse and got right to the point. Luna nodded at it, too,

"I did it today because I want you to tell me a lot."

"If it's what I know, what is it?"

"Thank you," Luna explained, needing to go south from here to Jilsor.

"... I'm listening in a lot of places, but Mr. Burt would also be familiar with Cheslock, and I was wondering if he would hear anything from the Marquis Seawell or Viscount Radford. What I care about in particular is whether we can cross to Jilsol and whether we will be caught in a war on our way back."

Burt worried about where to start,

"There may be some overlap with other people's information, but let's talk about what I know," he said and started talking.

"As for the war between the Empire and Lukes, there seems to be no information that it will erupt soon. This is what Viscount Radford taught us directly, so we think the information is highly accurate"

Ray hears Viscount Radford and recalls what he heard at the Blacksmith Guild in Ars.

(You were the second gastronomer in the empire. Is it about someone else? ……

Luna and Bart's story was going on even while he was thinking about it.

"According to information from the Viscount, His Excellency the Chancellor thought that he would march after harvesting the winter sown wheat, and that he would arrive in Lark Hill as early as summer. When it comes to the military, you said the Chancellor's predictions were very accurate and the Viscount would be sure."

"Is it around summer...... so you only have about three months. It'll take a month and a half just to get there and go home..."

For land routes, there are four hundred km (Kimmel) from the Imperial capital Plymouth to Cheslock, one hundred Kimmel from Cheslock to the port of Lenecrate in Gilsall, and about one hundred and fifty Kimmel from Lenecrate to the king's capital Gilsall. It takes about twenty days one way to go south on the street with a horse and even if we could arrange a boat right away.

"If you can use the sea route, it will only take about ten days from Teito, but since this is the situation, there are few ships out from Teito to the south. I wish I could have helped..."

The Robbins Chamber of Commerce is purchasing cocoa from Cheslock, but other than that, it is purchasing citrus fruit from Zirsole. As a result, I often associate with merchant shipping companies.

However, the citrus harvest had come to an end during this period, with few purchases per se and no plans to arrange a ship on its own. If I had plans, I would also have made some accommodation for them, he tells them.

"I was prepared for that, so I'm fine. Do you have any other information?

"You know the story of shipping. We are being driven out by the transport of troops and consumables, and there is an extreme reduction in the number of vessels available for free use. I heard even Aurelia's ship was forced to contract half the time."

"Yeah, I heard that story earlier. So you should think of it as definitive by land until Cheslock."

"You're right. Even if we wait for the ship here, it's whether we go to Jilsol once a month, so you're more certain to find the ship in Cheslock. May I introduce you to the sailors I know, may I?"

I have already been introduced to the Closure Chamber of Commerce in Cheslock by the Paston Chamber of Commerce in Ezarrington, but consider unforeseen circumstances and ask that there be more options.

"It's a mid-level place called the Closure Chamber of Commerce," Luna said, opening her eyes.

"How have you been?," Bert asked,

"Michael Paston, president of the Paston Chamber of Commerce, introduced me to the same place..."

"I see. It's certainly the most trustworthy place in Cheslock, so I guess it's natural to introduce you to Master Luna"

Listening to Tobias, the president of the Chamber of Commerce at Closure, he said that he was honest about his job but stubborn and that if he didn't like it, he might turn down his job.

"Just in case, write a reference from me as well. Take the letter of introduction from the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Imperial Capital and Ezarrington, and he won't treat it underneath either."

I slap my hand with Pong where I said it that far.

"Let's also give instructions to our Cheslock outpost. No, you should accompany our employees. I am also familiar with the southern streets..."

Luna was rounding her eyes for Bart to go ahead on his own,

"You can't be that sweet. It's enough for you to write a reference."

Bart said, "No, because you'll have trouble with something," calling the employee who was behind you,

"Vitali, get me you."

That said, the female employee bowed and left the reception room. And I'll be right back with one man. A disappointingly bodied man in his mid-thirties or so stands with an anxious look on his face.

"My name is Vitali White," he says, bowing his head.

"Sit down for me first. Dear Luna, this Vitali is the person in charge of the purchase of Cacao, familiar with the circumstances of the southern streets, even Cheslock has a good face"

That's all I said, face Vitali,

"Vitali, I'm sorry for the sudden talk, but could you please head to Cheslock with Master Luna tomorrow"

"Oh, starting tomorrow...... Er Dear Luna...... Are you Luna Lockhart! Excuse me!

Not only was Vitali confused by the sudden story, but she is distracted by the fact that there is a Lockhart family warrant.

Luna feels sympathy when she sees him.

"You don't have to force it. I hear the streets are safe, and I have company."

Vitali bowed her head, "No, please let me come with you,"

"I'm asking with one of those chocolate developers. If anyone like me can help, let me do it."

As well as being responsible for buying cocoa, Vitali is also involved in the development of new products using chocolate. For this reason, although faceless, he had a particular strong respect for Zacharias Lockhart and Luna, who developed the chocolate itself.

"But... there will be times with your family..."

Luna was reluctant to suddenly be strong on a business trip that would take more than a month and a half round trip.

I try to avoid long-term family business trips whenever possible at the Lockhart family, and I know why. That's why I thought about his age in the mid-thirties and about his family.

"I don't mind. My family will always forgive me because I work for the great Lockhart family."

Furthermore, Bart is persuaded, "Don't worry, I'll pay him a special allowance".

Ray looked blurry at the interaction.

(What kind of nobility is the Lockhart family really? The people involved offer to cooperate wholeheartedly. I don't think it's normal... The Mercenary Corps of Markat (Red Arms) was something special, but it wasn't this far...)

In the end, by the persuasion of the Burts, Luna admitted to accompanying Vitali.

"It helps as well as us. Thank you," he says, bowing his head.

As Ray looked at it, he thought he could give a reason to look for new ingredients if he was with the Robbins Chamber of Commerce.

(Now I don't have to explain why I'm headed to Cheslock. You'll see the zilsole thing as part of it, and as a camouflage, it's so perfect that there's no more...)

He then asked for information on the streets to Cheslock, etc., and arranged the itinerary for tomorrow and beyond.

"That's all we can discuss for tomorrow's departure. You came to our store because of this, so eat gelato."

That's how Burt headed to the store upstairs.

Ashley and the others are circling their eyes in a rare glass showcase in this world.

"I've heard that gelato is an ice treat, but I've never spoken of it because it's not common north of Pericritle. What kind of stuff is that?

Luna answers Ashley's question with a smile.

"Sweet (dessert) with milk or fruit juice. I can't say in a nutshell...... Mr. Burt, do you do a tasting?

"Yeah, of course I'm doing it. Because Luna taught me, and Zacharias is also a propaganda method that pushed my heartbeat."

And make an eye out for the employees at the sales office. The employee nodded at it and began to explain.

"There are fifteen gelatos of the day. The recommendations are classic: milk, chocolate chips…"

I'll give it to the Ashleys, which is dull on the little spoon of the tree as I explain.

Surprised by the system of tasting, Ashley, Stella and Ione soon became Gelato's counterpart in its sweetness and coolness.
