My sister and I moved around the world until I unified the continent to protect my sister.

August 20th. At the meeting point of the caravan, about 30 carriages large and small were gathered.

From a large thing with four heads, a small thing with one head. It's quite busy, ranging from piling up luggage with mountains to riding carriages full of people.

The carriage of the Listella Chamber of Commerce stands with two heads, offered by Mr. Cecil and one man and one woman at a time. There was a big pile of wrap on the carrier.

When I asked him something, he said it was wool. As for the traded goods to be transported from Wangdu to Tread, they are common items alongside iron gold (Tetsuji), leather products and cheese, and if you look closely, there are many other carriages that are piling up large packages.

You're willing to make a good deal with the takeover negotiations. That's Mr. Listella.

Mr. Cecil gave me a wooden plaque saying it was proof that he was joining the caravan and lowered it behind the carriage, and the herd of carriages was protected by about 20 escorts and left Wang Capital as planned......

I left Wangdu on the 19th. They're finally arriving tomorrow at Tread, the main city in the southwest of the kingdom.

It was a smooth journey without any trouble, so for some reason I said to Cecil, who was often in our carriage, 'Maybe we could have come alone with this,' and he said, 'It was safe because we were a big caravan with a lot of escorts. It's an illusion that rushing pedestrians often fall into, and it can also lead to loss of life, so be careful. "

I see, if nothing happens, you'll forget about the people who are keeping you safe. Reflections….

I had no trouble on the road, but as far as I'm concerned, I had a lot of interesting things to do.

I stopped by a number of cities and villages along the way, but there is a strong difference between flourishing by territory or being lonely and dark. I guess it's a difference in the lord's ability to govern.

And there were eight locations until I got here. They say that the rules for once determine up to one point at which a post can be installed in the territory, but since it passes through a number of territories, each time a toll of 1000 Astres per human being and 2000 Astres per horse was collected, it was a considerable expense.

I think pedestrians are in trouble.

I've never seen a precinct before, but it's usually found on major streets.

Speaking of which, all the roads I've taken so far have been roads with less traffic on the border where I'm going...

Cecil told me that there are times when small territories with bigger streets than large border areas earn more money, but there is more. The border area seems difficult to manage, but the customs office just collects money from passers-by.

Most of all, I'd like a wide border area.

Mr. Cecil, who often comes to our carriage, even teaches Nina the basics of being a merchant, and Nina gets better.

To thank Cecil, I offer a delicious meal specially made by my sister, but this may actually be what I'm looking for. So did Mr. Listella......

That's how the next evening we arrived safely on the tread and the caravan was disbanded.

In the meantime, where I decided to stay and settle down, Cecil, who is staying in the next room, will also come and talk to me about the future.

"First of all, you negotiate with the owner of the farm. Tomorrow I'll come and see how it goes."

I have a positive proposal from Mr Cecil. I tried to hide in Mr. Listella's shadow when I first met her, but you really grew up... so was it avoiding Eina then? He's a kid with a hard experience, but has he gotten over it yet?

Because of the offer, we'll leave it to Mr. Cecil for now, and we'll go for a stroll in the city the next day.

Although I came to the south in September, the air was tight and hot as it clumped together. Temperatures rise in the north, where the Wang capital is located, but it's crisp and easy to spend.

The ex-pulsor gets me down to the heat, but my sister is intrigued by the rare ingredients and she's making her eyes shine.

I expected there to be rice, but that one said the southeast, the lower basin of the Great River, was the main production area in the same south, and I barely sold it here. Too bad.

By the way, the city is said to be a Duke family territory with two in the kingdom, and a splendid castle is built in the heart of the city.

I was thrilled to hear of the Duke's house for a moment, but he said it was the Duke's house with no connection to the Count Negroste's, so I breathed a ho.

The southeastern part of the kingdom seems to be the territory if you have a cause.

Where the rice is...

After shopping and walking back to the inn, taking a bath in the water and renting the inn's cooking area to try to make the dish my sister cooked for me delicious, just as Mr. Cecil arrived, I listen to the report over dinner with him.

"I have met Lord Bados, the owner of the farm. Earlier, information from Lord Bados says that his father was the third son of the Viscount family near here, whose father died six years ago. You're a civilian who's not allowed to name his family, but the farm seems to have been allowed to be tampered with. I'm 36 now."

That's right, 'cause information is the life of a merchant'. I'm just being trained by Listella, and she's a great information-gathering ability.

Mr. Cecil continues his conversation with Slurpee as he looks at the note writing.

"It actually felt like meeting Lord Bados, but he seemed uninterested in running the farm and saw it as a ride to sell. I went to see it once when I inherited it, and then I didn't have to take a trip to the farm, and I've lived in this city all my life, and it seems I only let them deliver sales on a regular basis."

Though my son, I don't see how he cared about Mr. Cecil, even though it would be a traumatic word for a nobleman's three sons or anything. Has he gotten over it already? Eina said Mr. Listella leaned in and made him stand back.

"From what I've looked at separately, farm sales are about 12 million astols a year. It appears that the inner 6 million has been delivered to Lord Bados and the farm operates in the remainder. Six million dollars a year, but Lord Bados has two mistresses instead of his wife, and he has rubbed them by telling them to send more money to the farm."

While I was impressed with the fact that you did a good job of researching it, I forked tomato pasta with plenty of tomatoes that it was famous around here (around), and when I sipped (soot) like Zarsova, Cecil looked blatantly disgusted.

Most of the time, the indulgent Rhina frowned and looked at me with a blame. My sister scolded me for 'brother, you're behaving badly'. Sorry......

"Cohon. So to continue, the acquisition price is Ast. 400 million for the value of the farm plus Ast. 180 million for 30 years of annual income to Lord Bados. It was estimated at AST 200 million for farm employees, for a total of AST 780 million. Usually, the farm employees will be fired, but in this case, the former minister of the Viscount Branch will need to deal with it."

Oh, it's perfect for the forehead Mr. Listella predicted in the Wang capital. Wow.

But as far as I can tell, Mr. Bados seems like a bit of a sloppy person. I only have a feeling that giving a lot of money to someone like that would cause my own ruin... well, isn't that what I care about?

"Yeah, then proceed on that condition. Should I be present, too?

"Yoichi wasn't very fond of going out in public, was he? I can do the contract on my behalf, but how about paying for it?

You know exactly what I mean. I pulled a heavy leather bag out of my luggage.

"Then the contract is on your behalf, please. Pay now."

From the leather bags I received at the Count Negroste's house, count 800 pieces of 1 million Astres gold coins and give them to Mr. Cecil.... Is that it? Mr. Cecil's stiffening his face?

"Mr. Cecil?

"... ah... that leather bag, it was loaded in the carriage on the road, right?

"Yeah."

"Unfabricated with food, water bags, cookware... right?

"Yeah.... oh, was it a little bad?

This bag was packed together in a carriage with my personal belongings, my sister's cooking tools and something. I think Nina used to lean over and fall asleep. Was that just careless? But I don't have a safe or anything.

"…… no, I think that not knowing it exists is, in a sense, the safest measure…"

I'm not sure what it is, but I got Mr. Cecil's ink.

Ms Cecil received a bag containing 800 pieces of gold in such a way that she was in a hurry to regain her posture, "Gaku" for a moment to its weight. Kind of cute.

There's about two kilos of gold coins in this world, 100 pieces, and it's heavy, right? The excellence of the notes is painful.

In the meantime, I decided to hand over the funds and entrust it to you to negotiate the purchase of the farm in general. Easy.

There's nothing like Mr. Cecil running away with the money. If you do that, you won't be able to return to Mr. Listella.

I desperately put up with my face niggling as I remembered Cecil, who called Listella "my sister" and admired her...
