8 4. Free Trade City Hardenturm (Previous)

Regina Niebes is a young proprietor of the Niebes Chamber of Commerce, formerly seen as the head of three major chambers of commerce in Hardenturm.

Because of her, she survived the painful pain of being raided by pirates and losing her load and her meeting at the same time, and could survive the Chamber of Commerce by turning

There will not be one person in this Hardenturm who denies that assessment.

Even if there are no signs of improvement at the Nieves Chamber of Commerce.

Covering her healthy slightly burnt skin is a piece of bright green fabric with plant embroidery. It gives a slightly flashy impression, but suited her passionate eyes and luxurious blonde hair well.

Old Sesk, the manager who works from my father's day, told me she was visiting as she was reading the report while having breakfast in her own room.

Not that it's early in the morning, but it's still somewhat early to open.

"So, who is it?

To the Lord's best question, the old man answered, choosing his words.

"The name was not named. He just wants you to sign up for a deal about silver. Then I wore the magician's robe..."

"What's going on?

"I brought a young girl with me"

"I'll see you soon. Take me here."

Following the flash, Regina ordered the old man Cesc admiring him like his grandfather. With this flash, I have averted a deadly crisis many times.

I had never welcomed a favorable opportunity with a flash before, but I had a feeling this was going to be that first time.

Regina's heart rattles as if she were a girl in love, her cheeks upbeat. I felt thirsty for excitement and reached for a cup with water in it.

"Ha, what about your hair?

But put it back without drinking it up and look in the mirror hanging on the wall. Others don't know, she's the only one who understands. Trying to fix the hair mess - but it's slow.

The faithful old man Sesk followed the Lord's life and came right back with his visitors.

The knock is there, too, and the door opens.

A brunette boy, prompted by the old man Cesc and carrying an infinite bag of storage in black collared student clothes under a white magician's robe, stepped into Regina's private space.

"Nice to meet you, Regina Niebes. This is Yut Amaxa, the house of the Earl of Istas."

For once, I would say hello, but it didn't seem very effective.

Perhaps he knew the sudden visitor was Yut.

As yet, what was done in Mainz would not have been conveyed as information, but in Sejour, the king's capital, he was preparing under territorial management without hiding it.

Even if it isn't, it's not as strange to grasp the characteristics of the heroes who destroyed the Book of Nothingness (Caios Evil).

Yut looks softly at Jonah, who is accompanying him.

So is that. Because there's no such thing as an albino girl.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Yut Amaxa. I haven't even greeted your lord yet, but come and sweat all over your face."

"Terrible, any formal revelations. Of course, I will tell Lord Valtrude about you."

"Yut, the characters are different"

"It was a promise to shut up, wasn't it, Jonah?

"I don't know what you're talking about"

Looking in the direction of the day after tomorrow, I saw Jonah's tricks, and a year-to-year smile appeared on Regina's face, which was a face of tension.

"Pfft. How about exchanging frank words with your daughter?"

"I appreciate that"

Yut agrees with her hair. He then lowered his back to the chair and put his legs together before he was recommended.

"Let's start with a simple business story"

You sure you want silver?

While pointing the water at Yut, Regina moved her head busily.

Silver reserves in the Chamber of Commerce. Then calculate the inventories of the other chambers of commerce you have a deal with and be prepared so that they can ask you either the quality or the quantity.

But...

"Oh. Powdered, about 750 kilos"

"Nah hih."

That amount exceeded expectations by a single digit.

The ladies have spoken out, but I usually don't even try to praise the loud Cesc. Not so much because it was unexpected.

All the more so given the size of the Nievez Chamber of Commerce today.

Neither does Yut care about that inner surprise.

(750kg with powder sounds like a dangerous drug deal...... Well, it's automatically translated, so that recognition over there shouldn't mean the unit is "kilometers")

and so on, and was thinking irrelevant things.

Jonah was worse, staring indoors looking at the breakfast about the table without me, and then entering between Yut and Regina.

"Guh."

"Don't belly with your mouth. Alcia, you've had your breakfast."

"Mmm."

"Speak the language. When you're done with your work, I'll buy you something."

"Okay. If I lied, I'd cry to Alcia that Yut flirted with me"

"That's vicious, dude!

So, Yut realizes that now was in the middle of an important business negotiation.

He coughed and then put his hand beside Jonah and carried him to the next chair like a crane. I won't forget to mention it so that we're adults.

And I kept talking as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. The sooner, the better, but due in a month. You don't have to carry me to Falve. If you don't make it, just let me know and I'll pick it up from here."

"A month? So..."

"I don't know what to say instead."

Hand the bag of infinite storage you kept under your feet to the old man Cesc, who was holding back behind you.

"It contains 15,000 Gs. It's bulky, it's on its own, but I let it all be white gold coins."

The monetary unit of the Brewers is extremely convenient.

One silver coin for ten copper coins and one gold coin for ten silver coins. And one white gold coin for ten gold coins. In other words, that bag will have as much as a thousand and five hundred pieces of currency paid.

"Ah, let me revisit it"

An old man Cesc got his hands in a terrifying bag and took one gold bag out. A golden bag that came out of an infinitely stored bag and regained its weight claims a shiver and presence. Not only the weight, but also its social value.

When I untied the string that was tying the gold bag and opened my mouth, the platinum glow nailed Regina and Cesc's vision and consciousness.

The total amount of the transaction so far is not so rare, but Regina has no experience when it comes to instant money without notice.

"But from the silver market, it's nearly double -"

"This is an investment."

Without changing posture or expression, Yut says.

Not that Yut is good at negotiating. I was originally just a high school student, and the party negotiator was Alcia, so I haven't had any experience since I came to the Brewers.

But if you take the lead with the power of gold and bring it into the stream you assumed, you can overwhelm the meeting of Hundred Wars Smelting.

(I hope you don't have a nickname for a cash magician)

Continue without even taking your insides out for a bite, thinking about what you can do again or not. This is the real deal.

"And it's also a test. Regina Nievez, I wonder if you are enough to replace Bruno Exdero."

"I need the Exdero Chamber of Commerce..."

Like other free cities, Hardenturm had decided on a grand policy with a council system by the city's leading players.

But essentially not. It now had a system close to the dictatorship of the Exdero Chamber of Commerce, which extended similarly to the fall and period of the Niebes Chamber of Commerce.

Regina has also been sipped boiled water many times by the Exdero Chamber of Commerce.

The head of the Exdero Chamber of Commerce is Bruno Exdero. He was a former employee of the Nieves Chamber of Commerce, a fifty raven merchant described as like a toad.

My ex-husband's daughter - a man who puts Regina in the gold and proposes to his late wife, aside from being a business genius, he falls into the worst category as a human being.

That's why I'm not even the kind of person the new lord would lightly behead.

Regina had no idea what card the Count's deputy in front of her was holding.

"I know there are some problems in this city right now. Maybe it's like picking up chestnuts in a fire..."

"One, may I?"

"Go ahead."

This is the watershed.

Regina, who remained overwhelmed by the development of Anger Tao, breathes and thinks.

I don't know what the use is, but I know I really need silver. Because if you're just going to try the Nieves Chamber of Commerce, you don't have to set a critical delivery date of a month or so.

It is also understandable that, for the sake of taxation, we do not have to eliminate the Exdero Chamber of Commerce, which is essentially cowing Hardenturm, but want to create an opposing force.

But I still don't know why Niebes Chamber of Commerce.

"If you were the famous adventurer, Master Amaxa, would it have also been possible to talk to the Chamber of Commerce of Sejour, the king's capital, such as buying silver? Why are you doing this to us?

"It's possible. But the company in the realm... it's not the Chamber of Commerce. That doesn't make any sense."

It's easy to talk about if it's some cordial chamber of commerce in Sejour, Wang capital, and you can expect a rebate.

But Yut lightly denied it.

Because then the realm doesn't moisten.

"It's true that we need silver, and it's true that we want to start cleaning things up. Besides, the victim should be correctly compensated."

"Who is the victim?

To Regina's question, Yut does not answer.

"Of course, that's not all. I've looked into this city's chamber of commerce all the time, but, Regina, you were the best at balancing logic and making money."

I didn't think it was easy to give because I was a woman, nor was it sympathy to save a chamber of commerce that was falling.

Going to the conclusion that he was chosen as an accomplice, Regina remembered a strange exaltation.

Regina stares at Yut with her moist eyes.

But Yut flushed that gaze and said it as a tattoo.

"Not yet, I won't reveal everything. But it can't be bad for this city. I guarantee you that."

"Are you a hero?

"As a person?

In that response, Regina decided to trust Yut herself.

More importantly, the deputies of this lord are younger, and we know what it is: economy, commerce. It felt that way.

And there was no other criterion for judgment for merchants.

It was Regina who was trying to figure it out while doing her hand to a well-shaped nose beam, but her mind had already decided.

After that, just mouth your resolve.

"We'll take care of it"

"... thanks"

You're just relieved, Yut loosens his expression.

Regina smiled when she saw how it was, and was impressed at the same time.

If it's just business talk, Regina's beauty can often be somewhat advantageous by saying things. But Yut treated Regina as a trader, not a beautiful woman.

If it had grown well, it might have developed into an emotion called love, but if it had learned the truth that it was used to beautiful counterparts in Valtrude and Alcia, would it have grown up?

While leaving the preparation of the contract to the old man Sesk, while dampening his tongue with the late served tea, Yut will also remember to gather information on port blockages and storm damage caused by pirate ships.

The paperwork was done in about half an hour. After a single confirmation, he signs two pieces and presses his verdict with the seal ring he had kept from Valtrude.

Now I have finished one of my errands.

Leaving.

"Oh, yeah"

From his uniform pocket, Yut takes the letter and hands it to Regina casually.

"This is... It's a subpoena to the council."

"Yeah. Was it after noon today? I'm sorry it's so sudden, but I was wondering if you could free up your plans."

That said Yut's expression is too abusive to invite a woman on a date. He was smiling as if he were a predator in front of his prey.
