Meyer's room.
"So, Lord Meyer, we're done here.
"Oh, I'm sorry you carried what you brought.
"No, there's no problem.
Tomorrow at the back castle gate around noon, please.
Everyone will check the training area of the test platoon.
Bye. "
"All right! Lord Baynon is next.
Anita, Mirko, let's go.
"" Yes.
Arkin and the others are leaving.
"Ha... have you finished your move?
Hey, how's the room?
Meyer, who dropped off Arkin and the others at the front door, enters the living room and speaks to his wife and daughter Elsa, who is there.
"You! All the furniture is brand new!
"Father! I'm a bed fluff in my room!
"Right.
Sounds like a good property.
And... this is the paperwork you left behind.
First of all, the contract and precautions for this room?
Next up is the uniform discount... what is this?... Well, you ask tomorrow.
This is the map around here.
"Right.
Do you want me to leave the luggage you brought with you in each room for now?
See if there's anything missing.
"Right.
After that, do you want to look at the map and go somewhere where you can get dinner?
"Dad, Dad, Dear Alice, you were beautiful. ♪
Are the birds and demons in line over there Alice's men, too?
"Hmm? Oh, right.
Ha... Elsa, that's all you've been doing since just now.
"Right.
I was slightly tired of the two people listening to my daughter's same story.
"Mm-hmm. Well, your brother and the elf child came to your podium when your father and mother were getting off the front carriage, but your uncle was here then.
He said "Mr. Meyer" about your father.
Nobody calls your father that, do they?
Are you from the lab because you were dressed like a civilian?
My uncle asked me if I had ever been surprised on a journey, so when I said "Dragon," I said, "I'll be there." He taught me easily.
Do people in this city only see dragons as one of the demons around there?
I'm surprised I've never seen a dragon in King's Capital, but maybe it's normal here!
Meyer is lowering her gaze and solidifying with a straight face.
"You... you could have talked to Elsa."
"Don't tell me, I'll check tomorrow..."
"Okay.
So we're gonna make dinner for a change of mood?
"No... I think you should check the firewood in today's hot tub and go buy some extra.
"Right.
But then I'd like to see other dishes and bedding.
"Hmm... then why don't you check what's missing and go to the grocery store after dinner?
"Right.
Elsa, do you have something you want?
"... no!
"Well... you check firewood, me and Elsa check dishes and bedding?
"Ooh.
"Yes."
The Meyers checked the room.
------------------------
Grocery stores all over the city.
Takeo was talking to the clerk at the counter.
"... I thought I'd get a little excited.
But, um... there were four different types of pipe leaves in Wangdu, right?
"There are three kinds of people in this city.
With that being said, Master Kitamizato, I am told that the leaves of the pipe have recently risen in price.
"Increase the price... in the middle, please.
"Yes, I'm in awe.
I'll carve it like before.
Hey! I need you to chop these pipe leaves and put them in a bag.
A clerk calls in other clerks and asks them to process the pipe leaves.
"So, is it a price increase?
"Yeah, it's information from the merchant corps that's coming and going with Wang Du.
Has Kitamizato said anything about the probability that it will go up soon because it is purchased from a specialist office?
"You didn't hear many of those stories in Wang Du.
I'm starting to make connections to the Proprietary Bureau... do you want to check over here?
"Can you do me a favor if you can?
There is a shelf life, but if the price increase is true, you have to think about increasing the amount of advance purchases and how to sell them.
"They haven't even told me anything about the mishap in particular... is it a price increase?
"Consumption may be increasing in the Wang capital and on the west side.
Because I haven't heard that this city is consuming more.
"And then... oh, you have one factor.
"What is it?
"It's a replacement for the royal family that's in Wang Du.
"Oh, it was His Highness Leila's husband... er, His Highness William.
"Yes, there is a transfer of His Highness William, and His Highness Cliff, the first prince, is entering the king's capital.
So maybe the amount of pipe leaves handled by the Proprietary Office will change temporarily.
"I see, because the leaves of the pipe are only in royal territory.
Will it be a year after the transfer that cultivation is going well with His Highness William, and will the price increase start around the end of this year?
"Well, either way, I'll see where the rumors come from.
"Okay, please.
I'll discuss this one at the store union.
I don't want to change the end price as much as I can.
"That attitude is appreciated as a consumer.
"I'll take care of it.
But I may transfer prices later... but in doing so, I'll have to put enough time aside.
"You suddenly have trouble if you can give it to me.
"Yes, I know enough there.
We don't have any ex-children to stop the pipe on this occasion either.
"Sure.
The clerk and Takeo laughed bitterly.
