Tsumi Kake Tensei Ryoushu no Kaikaku

Episode XVIII: Ambiguous Boundaries

Ike was walking around the upstairs room of the mall he owned.

For a few weeks now, the Rosina Chamber of Commerce people had an extra look on their faces.

I can't see you rushing into a deficit while selling cloth at an unusually low price.

The fact that the Rosina Chamber of Commerce, which must have reached its limits a long time ago, was still open, had created a rush to the face of the Ike Chamber of Commerce.

To name a few, there's even talk that the Rosina Chamber of Commerce is putting out a black.

─ Impossible. Must be a lie.

No matter how much you deny it, Ike himself can't deny it unless we figure out why the Rosina Chamber of Commerce hasn't crumbled.

If I were to make a profit at the price the Rosina Chamber of Commerce is offering, Ike would only come up with enough to squeeze the salaries of the cloth weavers.

If you're so unscrupulous, the craftsmen should be crying at the Ike Chamber of Commerce of the commercial enemy.

─ ─ If you use slavery... No, you don't.

Even though slaves need meals, there is also the issue of purchasing costs.

The Logina Chamber of Commerce does not exist even at the Ike Chamber of Commerce, such as funds to invest in advance.

Even if you use slavery, as an artisan, you're an amateur. Production efficiency is known to be high.

Even with this in mind, he can't reach a satisfactory answer and Ike walks around the room again.

"Viscount Kleinsert did something. That's all for sure..."

It was a thought troubling Ike, but I noticed the sound of knocking on the door and turned my face.

"... in"

When Ike allowed him in, his men opened the door.

"Viscount Kleinsert sent me a letter."

Ike frowns suspiciously.

─ ─ Are you going to set me up from the other side over this period?

"This way."

Give Ike a letter from Sola and his men exit.

Wait until the door is completely closed, and Ike opens the letter.

Eyed through the text, Ike left the room and made the carriage ready.

─ ─ What the hell are you thinking about going out of your way to show secrets, etc.

You have to pay more attention to your clothes than to seeing the Viscount.

Wear clothes with the tricks you're used to, and Ike goes outside.

My men had already moved and kept the carriage waiting.

As he boards while being dropped off by several of his men, the carriage advances down the dirt road.

Rain clouds were drooling ahead.

Creepy weather that eliminates the boundaries between sunshine and shade and blurs everything.

By the time the carriage got to the crossport, it was starting to rain.

I thought a moment of light had fallen in the distance, and the sound transmitted the air and shook Ike's tympanic membrane.

In inclement weather, take a carriage to the Great Tree Hall where Sola waits.

I was greeted by a beautiful daughter I had seen before when I visited.

"Chairman of the Ike Chamber of Commerce, Master Sola is waiting for you"

Briefly, Ryu flips his skirt and leads Ike inside the Great Tree Hall.

The effect of the rain, or inside the Great Tree Hall, was dim and engulfed in tranquility.

Cold air flowed near the floor, freezing Ike off his toes.

─ ─ What is this strange thin cold...?

Ike looks around the hallway and finds a candlestick with no light on.

Exploring my memory, I haven't even heard a voice, as opposed to being different from people since I walked into the Daiki Hall.

- There's no one in the Ogi Hall? Impossible.

If I cleared my ears to explore people's signs, I could hear a slight noise.

But it's not a sound that makes people feel signs.

Critical and cataclysmic, or pathan, and multiple sounds reach Ike's ear.

All in all, it was a slight sound, but Ike tilts his neck when he notices a mix of familiar sounds.

─ ─ Well, where did you hear that...

Ike tries to find out who the sound is, but it was faster to get to the reception room.

Lulu pushes the door open and invites Ike to the reception room.

Ike stepped into the reception room and breathed into the boy sitting in the back of the room.

"─ Ike, you've come a long way."

Sola Kleinsert, lord of the Great Tree Hall, smiles coldly, spinning words like welcome.

"Well, sit down for a second"

It's a very unfriendly look, but it doesn't break your attitude towards the Guest only.

Tension envelops Ike's body.

─ ─ I haven't just set you up. This is going to be a battle.

Sensitively from Sora's attitude, Ike pulls his mind together.

Sora laughed at her mouth alone.

"Ike, are you still going to continue the cheap competition?

To Sora's inquiry, Ike pulled his jaw and affirmed silently.

Sora sighs at this sight.

"The battle has already arrived. There's an absolute opening in the purchase price of the cloth."

Sola showed me her contract with the Rosina Chamber of Commerce.

There is a contract for wholesale cloth to the Rosina Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the wholesale value of the cloth, Ike looked to his surprise.

The importation of yarn and its production in the territory cannot be reduced to the price stated in the contract.

"... is this a reshaped injection of funds into the Rosina Chamber of Commerce?

"You say the same thing about Rosina."

Sora said in a grumpy, mixed tone, clapping her shoulders to make a fool of herself.

They say the idea is the same as the commercial enemy, and Ike puts a face to it.

But it's also true that I can't think of anything else.

─ ─ It's okay, it's up here with the money. As long as the loans from Dear Zasha and Holger continue, there will be no loss.

Ike reaffirms his advantage and calms down.

Seeing Ike regained his composure, Sora laughed in the back of her throat.

Another piece, Sola takes out the parchment.

"Let's declare it first. I'm gonna smash you up and throw you into bankruptcy."

Ike slurps his throat at at Sora's declaration of war.

The parchment that Sola took out was a pledge to take on the unemployed when the Ike Chamber of Commerce crumbled.

Ike cools his liver even more.

─ ─ The Viscount is serious. I mean it, I'm gonna crush it.

It is no longer just a threat than we have even prepared a letter of commitment.

Ike remembers his thirst and looks at his desk.

But the kind of beverage I expected, there was nothing available.

No longer, it seems like you're not even going to give me a glass of water.

"You spent too much money. You can't keep up with me if I want to leave, can you? Hey, Ike..."

Ike's head, lowered to look at the desk, is gently accompanied by a hand.

Cold fingertips slipped over his head, capturing the nod of Ike.

I'll make you give up.
