Episode 553. Who are you allowed to do business with?
(1)
Near the eastern border of Kelia.
There was an up-and-coming businessman in a tourist town there.
No, I should say that there is a man who is a businessman on the outside.
Before the founding of Kelly.
Before the present unified elven city existed.
There was an elf from a small forest village where they used to live.
As if the elf had predicted the founding of Kelia, he ran across to the spot where the tourist city would be built, and started business there.
Finally, by succeeding in business and making quite a bit of money, he gained a position that even the lord of the place could not carelessly touch.
Truly a solid success story.
The problem was the content of the business.
On the surface, he looks like a great businessman, but in reality he is not.
The business was only things that could not be revealed in front of others.
The problem is that it was a business that could never be honored, such as drug cultivation and human trafficking.
If he continues to grow his family like this, it will not be to the extent that he is territorial within the city.
He might become a giant who will control the entire underworld of Kellya.
That's why I started keeping an eye on him at the tribal meeting in Kelia, who recently came across information about him.
Right now, I'm watching him to catch his tail, but I recognize him as an existence that needs to be burned by the root for stability sooner or later.
One way or another, it is certain that his existence will become the seed of conflict.
He was such a troublesome man.
“Aaaaaaaaaaagh!”
The underworld tycoon now rolls across the filthy sink, shuffling across the floor screaming unsightly.
“It’s dark... ... Oh, this child... ...
Elkezen, the elf coughing out a painful cough, looked up at the man who dared to muddy himself with hatred, and wondered if it should be called him.
The man who stood firm on his two feet by Elkesen's bedside... ... .
No matter how you look at it, it's a penguin.
Fluffy fluffy.
An assailant dressed as a fat penguin that could feel the touch of a hug.
To be honest, I doubted my eyes at first.
Suddenly puffy! I heard the walls ringing.
“It’s a penguin, it’s a penguin!”
Isn't that the guy wearing the penguin suit who appeared while saying the same incomprehensible thing blows himself up?
“... ... I've heard about that penguin suit. I hope you are!”
It was the moment when Elkezen, gnashing his teeth, realized the identity of the assailant and was about to mention his name.
“Oops, I can’t say that.”
Before he can speak, the toe of his penguin suit hits his chin.
Shocked, he chews his tongue and has no choice but to force his head upward. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
“I’m disguising myself so you don’t recognize me, but will you use my name if I tell you?”
Inside the penguin's clothes, a heavy voice could be heard because of the thick doll's clothes.
“I have no manners. When you cover your face like this, pretending not to know your identity even if you know it is at least the standard moral in this industry.”
“... ... Damn it.”
Elkesen shuddered and gnashed his teeth at the nonsense of the penguin suit and shook his shoulders.
Looking at him like that, the penguin suit only pretends to flap its wings, which look uncomfortable.
And what you don't like is
“Sheesh!”
He clicks his tongue and turns his head around.
He probably wanted to do something different, but it seems that it didn't go well.
From the inside of the penguin's suit, a grumbling voice could be heard faintly, “The last one said it didn't look like a penguin, so the arms were thicker and shorter, but it's more uncomfortable.”
“It’s done. Well, it looks like you're going to say, ‘You know who I am!', so you're just bringing up business, Mr. ‘Business Partner'?”
“Kuh..”
I argued with Cressel as if I was half-blaming.
It's really useless, kid.
[I couldn't help it, bro. Originally, Kelia's political structure was not unified. Because of that, there were still many gaps.]
Before the establishment of the unified kingdom, it must mean that there were many places to hide because the tribes took a half-roaring system.
Well, that's why the black magicians of the past have been hiding.
Anyway, it was fortunate that I was able to notice the existence and deal with it even now.
[By the way, surprisingly. I hope the older brother comes forward himself. I thought it would be bothersome, so I wouldn't come out. thank you very much! Hahahaha!]
See how this guy is saying that he's already been killed.
“There is a law of loyalty. And just in case, wouldn’t it be better for someone who can handle it as reliably as possible to step forward?”
Actually, I wanted to send Shen, but now Shen sent a dispatch to the Merman Empire.
It's probably time to deal with the reincarnated parasite there.
“What are you talking about if it's not us and you can't even handle it?”
It would have been quite a hassle if we had tried to deal with him within Kelia.
If I had to question the way I did it, I would have just pushed in with force.
Dress up in a penguin costume and break down the wall to make a surprise appearance!
I grabbed the reincarnated elf by the collar and threw it with all my might.
The lawyer was also moved and cried, and was executed after a summary trial.
This is muscle-style punishment.
If he wasn't a reincarnated person, I wouldn't have bothered to do this.
“Anyway, can you cover the next day?”
[Thanks to the brother who finished it quickly, there will be quite a bit of evidence left here. I told Hetia to send personnel as soon as dawn breaks, so I guess I can explain it well.]
Well, when Queen Hetia heard of the reckless raid plan to deal with him, far from stopping him, she was rather glad.
“... ... I feel like I've been working for free for some reason.”
[Shouldn’t we help each other and live? Don't be too upset. If you need anything later, Hetia will help as well.]
“... ... Are you still clinging to Hetia?”
This skeleton is saying that it is not his fault.
It's embarrassing to end things like this for free, so should I ask for something moderately necessary in return?
Just in case there was something I needed help with at the upper house.
“by the way... ... these guys this On purpose.”
I murmured as I remembered the partner I had just gotten rid of.
“... ... No matter how I look at it, I don't feel like I've been caught.”
Recently, traces of a partner showing disquieting movements have begun to appear too often.
It has been going on since the last time Ernesia's magic tower was decided.
The problem is rather that this was caught by the wrong behavior.
The catch is that from a certain moment on, I get the feeling that they are moving in such a way that it doesn't matter if they get caught.
These guys are a loser.
Cressel also agreed with my discomfort.
[...] ... Hey, I understand how you feel. But if you don't catch it, wouldn't that be a problem?]
“Yes.”
If you leave it alone because it is annoying to catch pests, it will eventually ruin farming.
... ... I know that, but I will install it.
And even if it's extermination of pests, the work I'm doing now is only done in friendly countries where my influence extends, such as Kelly or the Merman Empire, or in the country that is preying on them.
As for the other kingdoms, I haven't touched them unless I've been too lax.
It's because they're really determined and are hiding, so I'll be annoyed if I forcefully move.
I don't want to be caught by the tail.
[By the way, bro? Are the preparations for the meeting okay? I think I heard it last time.]
“Oh, that?”
What Cressel is asking is about the meeting that a group claiming to be the ‘Caduceus Principality' has declared to hold within the Felsen Kingdom.
I politely sent an invitation to Ernesia Kingdom.
Are you coming or not?
In the end, I know that I have decided to go because I have already said it once.
