……I’m a cruel person.

Yea, it’s not that I’m a fan of murder or crime.

But I’m not going to sit back and watch me and my friends fall victim to it.

Are all human lives equal?

No, I mean, if only one of the two can be saved, the vicious murderer or the cute little girl, is there even a need to think about it?

Would you respect the life of someone who comes at you with a knife at the ready, then let that person kill you and your family without a fight?

No, no, absolutely not!

……Only those who respect life can be respected.

So, let’s retaliate against those who use unreasonable means without respecting the business with unreasonable means as well.

No, I’m not going to fight on the same field as my opponent, nor do I need to.

We do not use violence but proceed solemnly.

With a pinch of unreasonableness・・・・・・

Come on, I’m all here all night. It’s party night!!

=====

I came here at midnight, the familiar Enova Trading Company.

I made sure that there were no lights on the sales floor and made a continuous transition into the store.

Then, I took all the products that were bought from the earth and continuously transferred them into the store by the display shelves

However, whenever I return, the items will be a few meters higher than the original position, just above the ceiling……

Dongara gassha ~~ n!

All right, let’s get out of there!

I repeated the process five more times. I chose five of the worst stores that had connections with the Enova Trading Company.

It made quite a noise, and I’m sure there would have been a big commotion after that.

Although, I don’t know about it because I quickly went back to my house in Japan and went to bed.

=====

[Larushia, we’re launching a counterattack! We’ve identified the enemy, we’re going to crush them!] Mitsuha

The next morning, I visited Larushia Trading. I then told Larushia to start the attack.

[Eh? What do you mean by that?……

Ah, no, if Mitsuha-sama says so, then I’m sure you’ve done your research.

But in this city, if you turn against them, the government officials will……] Larushia

Larushia looked like she’s given up, but it doesn’t matter!

[Huh? I don’t care about the government. I’m not talking about appealing to the authorities, I’m talking about destroying them from a business perspective. Don’t rely on people you don’t trust or people who are under the influence of the other side, but by yourself and the people you trust……

Larushia, since when did you think that the <International Network of Women Business Owners> was just a social organization?] Mitsuha

[……]

[…………]

[……………… Yes!] Larushia

[Yo ~osh! That’s a good answer! Contact each department immediately. I’ll contact the <International Network of Women Business Owners> and Larushia Trading will contact the domestic stores and business partners. Here is a draft of the announcement.] Mitsuha

Then, I handed Larushia the draft that I had prepared in advance.

Then, after quickly looking over at the contents, Larushia smiled. It was the first time I had seen her smile since I came here for this case.

……Of course, it’s the evilest one……

=====

By mid-morning, rumors had spread throughout the city.

……Yes, there’s a rumor that < a mysterious and strange phenomenon occurred in six stores and the sales floor was ruined>.

And why did something strange happen to those six stores?

What do those stores have in common?

Was it the work of humans, the work of demons and evil spirits, or was it a divine punishment?

To the general public, the similarities between these stores were not obvious, but to those in the business world, it was unmistakable.

……A large store, famous for its tacky nature, and its crony-like medium-sized merchant family.

However, even though it was expected that we would have many grudges against them, it was hard to believe that we would be able to destroy six places at almost the same time, an act that could not be done by human hands in a short time. In addition, there were no witnesses to the act of destruction, which was both unseen and unbelievable for humans in a matter of seconds……

The next day, the letters arrived at stores all over the capital. It was delivered by employees of the Larushia Trading Company, who went around distributing them in person.

The day before, all the employees worked together to write the address and assign personnel for the delivery.

The letter was a copy of Mitsuha’s original draft, which she and Larushia reviewed and revised, and then Larushia wrote a clean copy, which Mitsuha brought back to Earth and copied.

When the shopkeepers received the letter, they looked at it in astonishment.

What’s written there was…

“The Larushia Trading Company was attacked and damaged.

For some reason… The attackers did not try to steal money or expensive merchandise, they just destroyed the merchandise and withdrew after injuring the owner and some of the clerks, and killing an employee.

For its own protection, Larushia Trading will not engage in any commercial transactions with the following merchants and any merchants or individuals doing business with them.”

And following that, the names of six stores were listed.

The names of the six shops that everyone heard many times since last night…

=====

[What the hell is that!!] Owner

The owner of the Enova Trading Company, who was irritably leading the work of repairing the messed up sales floor, shouted at the watchman who had reported to him.

[No, I am simply conveying what they told us…] Head Clerk

It’s not allowed to argue with the owner of the company, but the report must be accurate. No matter how good a business sense the owner has, he cannot make the right decision if the information entered is incorrect. It is just like a computer.

So, knowing that he would be shouted at, he did not alter the report to make it milder but told it as it was.

And the merchant owner, though a scoundrel, did not relegate such subordinates or mistreat them for such things.

The content of the report…

[They’re unilaterally canceling their business with us! Furthermore, similar notices have been arriving one after another from stores all over the capital!

Why! Why is that happening!

Certainly, the mysterious incident caused some damage, but it was only damaging to the main store’s sales floor and some of the products on display. That’s not even a scratch on the surface for our business association.

Everyone knows that our backbone will not be shaken by this degree!!!] Owner

[But, even if you say so …] Head Clerk

What the owner of the company said was true, but there’s nothing they can do about the notification.

There was no way the man, who was only one of the relatively young leaders, could understand why.

The letter from Larushia Trade had not been delivered to the six stores in question. So they still did not know why the other stores acted the way they did.

The letter was written in such a way that the recipient would obviously think <Larushia Trade knows who attacked them>.

……And that all the merchants who received the letter thought that Larushia Trading had gone all out to fight back……

<Don’t hold the chestnuts in the fire.>

And there’s no need to bother cutting off the route to purchase the current hot-selling Yamano products.

There were other suppliers of everyday goods besides the Enova Trading Company. If they were outspokenly hostile to us, we would simply stop doing business with them for a while.

Also, even if it was just our store, we would not have to worry about our store being the only one that will retaliate, because it’s almost certain that most of the stores in the capital, or even in the country, would take the same action.

Then there’s nothing to be afraid of.

This is part of our business, and we are merchants……

And a few days later, the people of the Enova Chamber of Commerce would find out.

Similar notifications will start to arrive one after another from stores in neighboring countries…
