Ayaka looked around the lot and found a figure on the steps in the distance. The figure seemed a little depressed.

"He's there, let's go, General."

"Um…"

In this gesture, she just followed Linghua, and the other party generally took the lead in the action. After all, she was a professional counterpart, and she even felt that following her would bring a burden to the other party.

In fact, she was overthinking it. Linghua never felt any burden, or even happy... This can be regarded as a little date with the general, right?

Chapter of the Snow Crane ~ Narration of the Crane and the White Rabbit ~ : Chapter 60 Why do everyone think that I am the daughter of the shogunate?

At this time, President Jiurisu was in a state of despair. The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations had always been oppressed by the commission, and now something like this happened again. There was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. He was about to despair.

"Ouch...what should we do?"

This place is not far from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations. Wearing a black round hat, he was pacing back and forth in the open space on the upper level of the steps, even mumbling incessantly.

Tat...×2

At this moment, he heard multiple footsteps behind him. They were very light and were not men's footsteps.

"Mr. Jiurisu, are you okay?"

The next second he heard a familiar and delicate voice, and he was stunned for a moment and turned around excitedly.

"...are you okay?"

Seeing the other party's dull look, Ayaka asked again.

"Ah...oh! Are you Ms. Ayaka from the Kamisato family?!"

really!

It's the Egret Princess...uh...and this strange woman next to her, they should be together, right?After all, the two of them are so compatible.

"Hello…"

Ayaka nodded in response.

"Uh... this, this is..."

He looked at the woman holding an umbrella next to him.

"She is my friend, and I am honored to come with you today."

Ayaka informed the general after glancing at him.

"...What a bother."

The general glanced at the smiling girl next to him with a slightly complaining look, then pretended to cooperate and said a simple hello in a calmer tone.

"Ah...it's okay, it's okay."

Jiurisu shook his head in panic when he saw her being so polite. At first glance, she looked like a daughter of the shogunate, right?After all, he is the one who accompanies Princess Egret when she goes shopping.

"Why are you pacing here? Are you in trouble?"

The next second, the general asked a question that both of them were curious about. From the beginning, the other party seemed a little strange and kept pacing as if he had something on his mind.

Of course... Ayaka on the side also looked at Jiurisu.

"I...I...Oh~!!!"

Jiuli was stunned for a moment, then stammered a few words before sighing loudly, as if all the negativity in his body had been released.

Ayaka then smiled softly...and tapped the folding fan lightly with her hand, making a delicate 'click' sound.

"Would you like to talk to us?"

"Alas... It's embarrassing to say that the goods of our Chamber of Commerce of All Nations were robbed by rogues."

Jiulisu lowered his head in despair, and even his voice changed into a cry of grievance.

"...What was the stolen goods?"

Ayaka then asked.

"It's a batch of... high-grade silk."

"..."×2

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other for a second, and then winked at each other in tacit understanding.

"Go on..."

"Ah... we imported a large amount of silk from Liyue a few years ago and have been piling it up in the warehouse. Huh... I recently heard that the backlog of silk in various clothing stores in Daozhu City has almost been sold out. We are thinking of selling this batch. The goods will be sold at a good price, but who knows... Sigh~!"

Then Jiurisu sighed again.

"Do you know the whereabouts of those ronin?"

The general asked in a somewhat cold voice at this time.

"They intercepted our goods and immediately fled into the woods with the things. I don't know the specific whereabouts. I wanted to report the crime, but... foreign traders like us are not welcome at all, and the inspection and enforcement authorities didn't want to pay any attention to it. We even laughed at us in turn, wishing we were unlucky... Miss Kamisato, what do you think we should do?"

Jiurisu started to complain to Ayaka at this moment, as if a savior had come.

however--

"Although I personally don't agree with the style of conduct pursued by Kansei, Mr. Jiurisu, this is Inazuma after all. Please pay attention to what you say, lest... the walls have ears."

Linghua put the folding fan against the corner of her mouth, narrowed her ice-blue eyes slightly and warned (instructed).

"Ah...I'm sorry! I couldn't help but start complaining——"

Jiulisu rubbed his head nervously.

"Are you talking about the truth?"

However, the next second the general spoke for this reason, and his words contained a hint that he could not be disobeyed, which made Jiulisu a little stunned.

"Eh? Ah... yes, yes, oh... Sir... how dare I make it up, then..."

Jiurisu suddenly glanced around, then lowered his voice slightly.

"Then the government has been oppressing us for more than a day or two... They are simply treating us as slaves. Alas... if it weren't for the lock-up... we would have... phew."

At this point, Jiurisu sighed painfully and said no more. He missed his hometown Fontaine so much, but it was a pity that he couldn't go back.

"..."

Her eyes became slightly cold at this moment, and then she lowered her eyes and thought about something.

Does the General have to...

Ayaka guessed what she was thinking.

"If... the determination policy no longer oppresses you like this... will you continue to develop in Inazuma?"

She asked after thinking about it.

"Sigh... I'll be honest with you, sir... If this is true, then we, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, will be thankful. We are also businessmen, and doing business is also our working life. Our overseas goods are shipped here just to be able to compete with Inazuma. Do business harmoniously, we foreign businessmen should be mutually beneficial to Dao Wife, but... the fact is so cruel."

Jiurisu covered his head and frowned, with a headache on his face. Now they have been forced to this point. They are always oppressed by the other party and are at a loss. They can still get in and out, and they can't go back home. How can this be? good.

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true...my lord."

"Okay... I will issue a written edict to the surveyors after I pass away, instructing them not to bully you and others. You must be fair in your business dealings and not be oppressed by them. Anyone who violates the order... shall be dealt with by military law. "

She stated the contents of the edict in the tone of a general. She had long wanted to take care of the corruption issue, and today was the opportunity to make them honest.

"Big, my lord!!"

"Shh~"

When it felt like Jiurisu was about to shout exaggeratedly, Ayaka immediately made a silencing gesture to him and then shook his head slightly.

"Oh...huh...huh..."

Jiurisu came back to his senses and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while gasping for breath. At this time, his legs were a little numb. The woman in front of him actually did such a big thing for him!

"This time...are you satisfied?"

She then looked at Jiurisu and asked.

"S-satisfied! Of course I am satisfied. Oh... Sir... you are our savior~!"

Jiurisu knelt down for her in an instant... Tears were about to fall. Based on this woman's words, he could feel that the World Chamber of Commerce would finally make it through in the future!It’s really a long drought that brings rain!

But... who is able to order and appoint the person who will follow the whole body in this way... Could this woman be——!

No, no, no...how could it be the General?Impossible.

"Huh...you don't need to be polite."

After seeing the opponent's posture, she sighed slightly and raised her hand to let the opponent stand up. She didn't really like others kneeling and bending to her, except of course, except for beating the enemy to the point of kneeling and making mistakes.

"Mr. Jiurisu, please get up. This friend of mine does not like such a courtesy."

Linghua consciously walked forward and helped the middle-aged man in front of her with her own hands. At this time, she was the general's bodyguard, so it was up to her to handle these things.

"Thank you so much, sir, and Miss Kamisato. If the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations can help in the future, just ask us. Everything you need is free of charge!"

Kurisu, who was helped up by Ayaka, was moved and promised to the two beautiful women in front of him.

"It can't be like this...Business transactions must adhere to the principle of fairness. You are now in Inazuma's land, and it is the responsibility of the shogunate to give you commercial rights. There is no need to spend such money."

She shook her head and dismissed the other party's thoughts.

"That's right... You take such good care of us. If others knew about it, it would be unfair to them and very subtle to us... wouldn't it?"

Ayaka smiled happily after hearing the answer from the woman next to her, and then persuaded Jiurisu in front of her.

"Okay, okay...the two adults are simply angels."

Jiurisu fell to the ground in admiration.

"And...we can help you get your piece of silk back."

Ayaka said to him again.

"Ouch...is this true? Am I dreaming today."

Jiurisu was about to faint.

"Haha... it's true, but... we still need Mr. Jiurisu to keep it a secret for us, okay?"
