The cafeteria of the royal castle.
King Azpar and the 3rd Prince's family are having dinner, but they are eating fast in silence.
... oh, it was delicious...
William finished eating and muttered in a lonely mouth.
"Hmm... the drizzle is a condiment that Takeo found."
For meat, for salad, for soup.
This is definitely something you can sell at a high price.
Hmm... I'll buy it. "
King Azpar is finished eating, and I'm going to say it with my arms crossed.
"Father, how much do you buy?"
"One gold coin per kilogram, 30 kilograms for royalty."
By the way, there is no additional charge even if you ask Takeo. ”
"It's expensive, but... it's made in Japan by the Demon King, so it might not be a good idea."
William nods.
"O... your father-in-law!" To me and the 2nd prince's family!? "
Alma asks.
"Please distribute!"
Leila would tell me.
"There it is."
I think evenly... but I also want to use it for diplomacy and invitees.
Me, Cliff, Neil, and William. Five kilos at a time.
Let's say we use the remaining 10kg for policy purposes. ”
"" "I would be grateful if you could just accommodate me!" "
William, Alma, and Layla answer.
"Your Majesty, diplomatically... is that the Katranda Empire?"
Erica asks King Azpar.
"Hmm, that's right.
Erica, do you think you can sell it? "
"I'm sure you can sell it, but... do you want to sell it?"
"It was originally expensive."
That's a joke, and I think I'll give you 50g first.
Now... how does the Katranda Empire work? "
"That's... this is the only condiment."
I'm sure they'll say they want more. ”
"Then don't you think two gold coins per kilo is fine?"
I will also distribute 2kg to the other side. "
King Azpar asks Erika.
"Isn't it expensive to stone?"
If I were to do that... I would contact the Demon Kingdom via the Dwarf Kingdom. "
“What do you think would happen if I gave that information to Takeo?”
"... there is a shop in the kingdom of the demon kingdom where Lord Kitamizato is graciously waiting for you."
I was wondering if I could run it to a definite stop.
As for Kitamizato, I think that only you can import pepper in Azpar. "
"... Erica, do you think Takeo will regulate the sale of pepper to other countries in the Demon Kingdom?"
...... No, I won't.
I can't do that.
I don't think that the merchants of the Demon Kingdom will strictly obey the orders of Lord Kitamizato, who is from another country.
I'm sure Lord Kitamizato knows that.
However, I was wondering if we could negotiate something to get some convenience and not sell it to another country or buy it... ah, it's a purchase price. "
Erica can think of something.
"Hmm, I think the reason this pepper is expensive is that Takeo is buying it at a high price in order to secure the quantity.
So I wonder what Takeo would do if I received information that he came here to buy from the Katranda Empire. "
"... would you sell it to the Katranda Empire through yourself...?"
Your Majesty, or King's Landing, for the Empire of Katranda?
If that happens... do you think there will be more domestic distribution? "
"Hmm... I think so.
I see that Takeo does not work with this pepper just at our request.
That's because Takeo is in charge of domestic distribution.
However, if an external factor called the Katranda Empire emerges there, Takeo will have to move.
Don't be silent, it's like watching an influx from the Katranda Empire.
Well, I'm not a monster, either. I'll buy you a kilo for a gold coin even if the circulation increases, but you'll get us the quantity we need.
As soon as the Katranda Empire has enough coins in circulation, let's reduce the price from 2 gold coins to 1 gold coin and 5 silver coins.
... what do you think, Erica? "
"I understand."
However, unfortunately, there is a disadvantage that the gift of pepper will not be used in the first place and that the conversation will not start unless a request for export is received from the Katranda Empire.
Besides... I'm worried that Lord Kitamizato is really in a hurry. "
Um... how does Erica work?
"That's right..."
The royals in the capital spent their dinners chatting.
------------------------
The rooms of Takeo and the others in the Imperial Castle.
"Director... well, I'll put up with the stupidity because of the pepper dish."
But I think it's important to weigh yourself. "
Brooke comes over for dinner.
"I went to Brooke's parents' house, but I haven't spoken to them yet."
I'm surprised that you're so angry that you're going to eat. ”
"After the director goes home... ah, this soup will warm up your body, please let it out on the battlefield."
"I understand.
So, what happened after we left? "
“It's a sermon from my parents.”
"... what? I didn't do anything?"
"No, when the director told me that he was here, the sermon started."
It was... troublesome. "
"Isn't that... half the cause for me and Mr. Brooke?"
I know it's my fault for going, but I think it's my fault for telling my parents about Brooke. "
"Isn't it 6: 4?"
Brooke says.
"I see... 6 is Brooke."
No, six is the director.
... come on, eat your meat and soup because they'll cool down.
Yes.
Brooke was about to have dinner.
