Takeo and the others had come to the string inquirer.
On business, I was put through to the reception room in the back, and a few clerks came holding the box as I waited there.
"This will be the 10 violins that were ordered.
Only 20 more sets of spare parts will be available.
Ten rectangular cases and two boxes with spare parts ruled can be arranged in front of Takeo.
A clerk opens one rectangular case.
"Inside is a body set and one set of spare parts.
There will be 11 total gold coins.
"Yes. Okay.
Takeo takes the gold out of the nodding leather bag.
"... I just got it.
I'll give you a receipt now, so please come by.
The clerk counts the gold coins and then leaves the seat.
Then the door knocks and the manager walks in.
"Dear Kitamizato, Welcome.
How was the Dolores country?
The manager comes and sits in front of Takeo and the others.
"No... I shopped normally.
We also met good people, so there's no problem.
"Really? Nice to meet you.
Looks like you've also finished delivering 10 pieces.
"Yes.
The clerk is going to make the receipt.
"Really?
Well, we talked about it when we came to the store earlier, but we had an in-house review about opening the store.
"Yes."
"Master Kitamizato said.
The standard strings will be produced by us on the side of the United States of Wilip, and the Kingdom of Azpur will first open a store that will coordinate, maintain and sell parts after the production and sale of specials.
"Yes.
Which one will you open?
"I'm thinking about making it a city with the mansion of the second prince of the kingdom of Azpur.
"Yes."
"... Dear Kitamizato. Aren't you surprised?
The manager turns his strange face to Takeo.
"No, nothing particularly surprising.
Last time I said I'd take it to the royal family.
So the closest I can get from here is His Highness Neil, so I know you want to see how things are going in that city.
"... is that right?
So we are currently contacting the real estate over there to find a store.
I think it will take about 2 months at the earliest.
"... to which realtor did you ask?
"No... I'm asking the merchants because I don't know what's going on over there.
"Really?
Then I'll stop by and tell the realtor directly.
It would be better that way.
"Oh... are you sure?
"Yes. I don't mind.
If you're sure you can get it out, that's about it.
But I'm not going to look directly at the store.
I'll tell the realtor who would only be somewhat trustworthy to refer the property here.
"I think it's well worth it there, too.
"Yes.
Now write on paper the size of the store you want and the terms of rent, etc.
I'll give that to the realtor.
"Yes!
We'll have it ready in a minute!
Please wait!
The manager moves up and takes his seat, thanking him and exiting.
"... Director. Isn't that a cheap contract?
Meyer tells Takeo as he makes him look worried.
"I'm fine.
I ask His Royal Highness Neil... you just have to ask.
'Tell me about a good realtor'.
"... you're a pathetic realtor.
Meyer makes a subtle face.
"Well. It's okay.
Takeo said it seemed fun.
------------------------
What about the squad apart from Takeo?
First of all, everyone at the grocery store is searching for thoughtful objects.
"... um... isn't this a good idea?
"No. It's better this way..."
"This is good too.
Beinon, Blair and Alston were comparing paintings.
"It would be better if it had this gate written on it.
"No, no. The gates written from the walls on the side of the walls over here are good stuff too.
"It's a good night's gate over here, too.
All three of them are looking for paintings at the gate.
"Er...
Mr. Follett. Surely it would be nice to have a little more next time because we're going through Seoul, right?
Enma says as she looks at the shelves of dried goods.
I wish I could go to a dryer or grain store, but it seems like an operation to bribe anything that can be bribed in one store for now.
"Yes.
I'll stop by town, but you might not be able to buy that many, so buy them as much as you can.
If it's not enough, I'll go to the dryer next time.
Also buy pasta or macaroni... short pasta.
"Macaroni, right? I get it.
Bona answers.
"... I don't know which way it goes..."
Follett laughs bitterly.
"Erm... maps... maps..."
"Ah. Andersen. There it is. This way.
Andersen and Blair were looking for a map.
"Yes, sir.
Andersen and Blair open the map and peek.
Two people shut up, and gently close the map.
"Well... I guess I'll leave it to the Foreign Office.
"Right.
"If you think about it, we're not in charge here.
"I'll just buy it.
Let's not ask the Foreign Office to buy a decent map later via the Director.
We both gave up purchasing the map we wanted.

Thea was reading a book.
"Lord Thea, what have you found?
Ettle speaks up.
"Yes... no!?
Thea tries to put the new book back on the bookshelf.
"Wouldn't one book or so be good?
What book?
Fabio asks too.
"Ah... give me this.
"" Hmm?
What Thea put out before the two of them was written "The Adventures of Fresh Red".
"... no. This book is so good... I like it.
"Isn't that good?
"Oh. I guess there's no problem.
Answer Thea with two faces.
"It's a living legend of the kingdom of Azpur!
Master Kitamizato is leaving for Elvis territory!
Maybe he'll bring me to some kind of clap! Maybe I'll see you!
You can't get a signature without a book then, can you?
"... yeah. Because I get it.
"Because I'm fine. Because I don't say anything to other people's tastes.
Ettle and Fabio gave him warm eyes.
