Guest rooms at the Earl of Elvis residence.
Alice... what do you think this is all about?
"Grandpa, is this a mess?
... I was expecting it to some extent... Ah, are there other ingredients with higher prices?
You're faster than expected.
"That's right.
Grandpa Elvis and Alice were depressed as they looked at the documents that had been circulated from Frederick.
"This is the reality.
After the recipe was announced, the price of ingredients is rising rapidly due to confusion.
I told the union what to expect when I explained.
Frederick shouted.
"Well... not from a new dish.
I understand that you want to commercialize it as soon as possible and put it out at the store.
"I know how you feel.
But, Frederick, in what the civilian explained, he instructed you to keep the purchase down to a certain extent, right?
Alice asks Frederick.
"I did.
I was also present, so I heard that I was explaining properly.
The union presidents agreed.
But this is the result.
"... the over-the-counter price of raw cream has quadrupled in the last few days... I think it was originally a little higher than other products that were produced in a small number of years ago..."
"The fact that the daily production is fixed... means that it may rise in the future, right?
Grandpa Elvis and Alice are roaring.
"Yes, at least until the next chicken-related announcement.
We've already sent civilians to dairy farmers so that pubs, restaurants, and sweet shops don't negotiate directly without going through the shop.
There are no loopholes, but the distribution itself is normal.
The over-the-counter price is rising because the supply cannot keep up.
Frederick says.
"... Grandpa, the value is rising more rapidly than expected.
Would you like to publish the following recipes early and spread your motivation to buy in order to combat confusion and takeovers?
Alice looks at the materials and says.
"Hmm... we can speed up the announcement of chicken and egg recipes, but... we'll do it on schedule.
I adjust the production and shipping of eggs according to schedule.
Even if I teach chicken and egg dishes now, there is a shortage of raw materials.
The announcement that we are trying to spread purchasing power will only do the same thing now.
I have to put up with it... but... Frederick, I'm going faster than I planned.
"Yes, shall we go to the union president's shop?
"Isn't that right, Alice?
"Yes, I'll go too.
It's earlier than planned, but... it can't be helped.
It is an established matter agreed at the briefing that the union president will be held responsible in such a situation.
"This should calm down the price a little.
"Yes, then the civilians will be ready.
Should we all go to the union's longitudinal shop once we have gone to the government building and ask about the current situation?
That's what Frederick said and stood up.
"Ah, what about the kids?
"It's still early.
I'll leave a message today.
Alice, sometimes this is how I need to talk to everybody.
"Hah... I knew this was going to happen, so I scolded you.
You have to thank the union leaders.
"It is the destiny of those who stand on top of the organization.
Even if you know it, (...) you can't keep it down.
The union presidents also know this will happen in advance.
The point is to show the citizens and other union members.
"I hope you can play it well.
"I'm not used to it.
Takeo doesn't seem to be doing very well.
"Takeo-sama will do it with a smile.
"Now, Lord, Alice, let's go.
Ah.
Yeah.
Grandpa Elvis and Alice left the room with Frederick.
------------------------
In a room behind a tavern.
The two union heads of the front street and back street pubs sighed.
"... the sudden rise in ingredients... you've done it...
Hah... a civilian just came in and said, "Coming."
"He said he wouldn't say anything until he doubled it.
There are also products with a value of 3 to 4 times in a few days.
The price of other ingredients has also risen.
This cannot be helped by the Countess coming.
Ha...
"... that's the explanation.
Does the shop have the face of a lord?
"I'm calling.
What about you? "
"I'm ready, too.
I told everybody... don't buy it all at once...
Thanks to you, I'm going to preach.
"It's explained, right?
It's a price to get the recipe for free.
I will take the sermon with all due respect.
"Are you considering ex-post measures?
"Ah, I change the shop that opens every other week.
This is all I can do now.
"I see... I see.
Then I'll be waiting at the store.
"Okay.
I will turn it to you so as not to prolong it.
"... can I prolong it?
"Don't be shy.
Finish early.
The two tavern directors were discussing it with a dark face.
------------------------
At the General Inspectorate building.
"It has been communicated to Frederick, the Tavern Association President, the Restaurant Association President, and the Sweets Association President.
I have been watching the situation outside the store since then, but it seems that the main union members are gathering.
The civilians will report back.
"... Lord, Alice.
We're ready.
Did you read the manuscript?
"I'm fine.
How's Grandpa?
"Excuse me, hold on a second.
Nh... this is a harsh word.
Wouldn't it be better to put it differently?
The next case of chickens and eggs may be constricted too strictly.
"Really?
Well... how about this?
Frederick adds to the manuscript.
"Hmm... well, if you know the general flow, the words will continue.
... um, it's okay.
"All right, the lords are done.
Are you ready for a Q&A in case of a counter-attack from the other side?
"No problem.
We'll take care of it.
The civilian replies.
"Yes, thank you.
Now, Master, Alice, let's start with the head of the Tavern Association.
Hmm.
"Yes."
The theatre in the city began.
