The Other World Con Artist's Management Techniques

"May I tell you what I noticed?"

The day after I held a gathering of the Han at the Hunting Guild Forty-two wards, I had come to a certain place by myself.

There's someone I'd like to meet and talk to.

Actually, I thought it would be nice to talk to him like this, but... I don't think I can continue to ignore him forever.

It's hard for Jeanette to talk about, and Magda and Loretta are of a race of beasts... somehow.

I was going to ask Estella, but... well, the lord...

There were lines like Bertina and Regina, but I felt like they were in a different field. Bertina is a Sister, and Regina is a foreigner.

So I chose this one."

"You're talking about the breast gap. I can't believe it."

...I'm beginning to regret it a little now.

"That's serious,"

"Seriously talking about breasts? ... Mr. Yashiro, can't you think about anything but breasts?"

"You're the one who started talking about breast milk!"

Imelda sips tea gracefully, swaying her shiny blonde, which is still carefully maintained today.

"Recently, when I saw Mr. Yashiro's face, the word "baby" came to mind."

"It's some sort of disease, so have Regina look at it, you know?"

Now that I've lived in 42 wards, this guy's gone crazy... well, he's been quite a bit crazy since we first met.

"I want to ask you a few questions about the nobles... or rather about men and the Beasts...."

"...is that so he said.

Imelda's gaze becomes a little sharper, and a teacup is placed on the saucer with a quiet crash.

The straight back makes my neck look neat.

The thin, long neck line to the collarbone is a really pretty guy. Along with its neat features, it has a glamorous atmosphere like a blooming flower. I feel like I'm looking at a painting with a delicate touch.

The pale pink lips of colored cherry blossoms, reflecting the clear white skin, are quietly opened.

"Whether you are an aristocrat or a race of beasts... it does not affect the size of your breasts."

"That's enough about the breast!"

What, this girl!? Why are you so stubborn!?

"...oh, 'That's enough about the breast,'"

Imelda's straight back is bent and her body slips back to the back of the chair.

The feet kick at the table and the teacup falls.

Amber tea spreads to the floor with a crisp and dry sound.

"Mr. Jiro... don't die!"

"Are you going to die?"

"Something is wrong with you!? You must have a serious illness!"

"I'll give it back exactly as it is!"

What was that? What was your serious expression?

Well, since I've been here, I've only talked about breast milk!

Shall we talk about breast milk until he gets tired of it? Until we finish talking!? In that case, we might have to stay for about three days!

The waiters who rushed to clean up the broken cups, wipe the tea flying over Imelda's skirt, calm the distraught Imelda, say my condolences and leave. ...so, waiters.

The waiters, who finished their work with a dance of grace and agility, cut into a corner of the room, and I and Imelda again face each other across the table.

This time, seriously...

"Imelda... will you take it seriously?"

"Of course,"

"To be honest, I don't really want to talk about it..."

"Poooo!"

"It's no pun!? I don't want to talk about 'nothing' or 'content'!? Yeah, shrug your shoulders!"

What kind of translation did you do, "Forced Translation Magic!"? Let him speak seriously!

"It's something only you can hear," Tell me a little, thinking I'll help you."

"Only a viper...?"

"Oh, the rest of us... well... we get a little horny."

"Yes, sir,"

Imelda then gently raises her right hand.

When the waiters saw it, they left the room in unison.

Nearly ten waiters quietly, one by one, bowed out of the room.

"...don't you think it's somewhat easier to talk to?"

"Oh, I'm saved."

I straighten my place and start talking quietly.

"All the nobles I have seen are human beings. Do you understand what it means?"

"Yes... of course,"

Imelda took a moment of silence as the waiters poured her tea again.

I hear a clatter of cups.

"Well... Mr. Yashiro came to this city from a foreign country."

"Well,"

"Then it's no wonder..."

With a thin, long breath, Imelda looks a little cold.

Imelda's long, incisive eyes were still, reminiscent of the depths of the deep sea.

"First of all, I would like to preface you by saying that the Waxi family is not a natural aristocrat."

"Did you make a fortune in the Woodman's Guild, and become an aristocrat?"

"Yes, that's what it is."

In a world governed by a king, there are some who are elevated to nobility by merit, fame, contribution to the kingdom, wealth. He is conferred a peerage.

The Woodman's Guild is a fairly powerful guild that works across the entire district. The Javiers, who rose to the top of the list, were probably recognized as worthy of nobility.

Well, it's a convincing achievement and irrefutable asset.

But why did you make such a foreword?"

"Is it different from Estella?"

"Well, that's true, but I said so because I thought it would be easier to draw a line beforehand than to say anything about it."

"Draw a line?"

"Yes, the vaxxes are distinctly different from the lords and other ancient aristocrats."It's a deep ditch that can't be filled no matter how you scratch it."

There is an inextricable gap between royalty and nobility.

Furthermore, there is a clear difference between a natural noble and a so-called "golden" noble...

"The reason why I told you that again is because the vaxes, the Javiers, are the 'Guild-Chief.'""Oh... I see,"

Imelda understood what I wanted to say and dared to make a clear difference.

"Mr. Yashiro's idea is probably correct."There are only human beings in the aristocracy. In other words..."

All expressions disappear from Imelda's face.

"The Beasts cannot be nobles,"

A cold expressionless expression like an ice sculpture...

It seemed to me like an aristocratic act to be able to keep all the heart and soul out in telling this kind of story.

There is no arrogance or sympathy. As a matter of course, I know how things turn out.

...I'm sure he doesn't really like that kind of discriminatory thing because of his personality... but from his standpoint, he can't give a glimpse of his personal opinion.

Because Imelda is a nobleman.

The nobility cannot deny the formation of this royal-dominated city.

In other words, the lords and other aristocrats are human beings, and the animal race cannot enter there.'

"As a mistress... That's not the case,"

A concubine...? She's what we call a mistress. A nobleman would be surrounded by one or two mistresses. Or maybe they let them live in the same mansion.

"There was definitely discrimination against the Beasts... although now there are fewer and fewer people saying such things."

This town is overflowing with beasts.

Everyone lives positively and honestly.

There is no sign of discrimination there.

"...but I don't think it's going to be completely gone."

Thoughts, values, and institutions that have been around for a long time, they have settled in the depths of the human mind like "ori."

It has changed with the times and has been handed down to this day in the form of 'implicit rules.'

The Beast race cannot be made noble.k.a. aristocrat.

It's certainly a matter of course that shouldn't even cause controversy for the people of this city.

And I'm sure... it's not justice to mix it up.

This is the result of the choice made by the inhabitants of this city.

Everyone wants a peaceful life, which now bears fruit.

Denying the system creates conflict and causes many tragedies.

That's why no one touches it.

Besides, I don't know how long it's been since the time of discrimination, but the situation has improved considerably.

As proof...

"There are many beasts in the guild,"

"Yes, sir," The qualifications for organizing guilds are questioned. You can't be half-hearted."

"Then, as for hunting guilds, sea guilds, and so on, which operate outside the city gates, it is only natural that the beasts should be chosen."

"Yes, sir," Their power cannot be matched by the vaxxes."

If you want to make the strongest guy in the guild a guild length, it often naturally becomes a race of beasts. Purely because the physical abilities of the Beasts outweigh humans.

When you think about it, the greatness of the Javier family, who are the guild chief among the gorilla Austin and the pheasant Zenobius who fought in the big eatery competition, comes to mind.

It proves that he was superior not only in power but also in every way. Well, you can get a peerage from the king. I agree.

"Your father's achievements and valour were countless, and he became the guild-master, and the king himself was raised to the peerage... the vaxes and the Javiers became nobles."

"I mean, Javier was a substandard idiot,"

"I'll take it as a compliment,"

Imelda smirks.

So... will this be out of the guild's line when Javier retires?

"By the way, the next head of the guild has been unofficially designated as Waxi."It was decided by unanimous decision of the Woodman Guild."

"Oh, that's great. I was loved by idiots."

You've twisted this city's system so easily that "the guild chief is a strong man who can put the guild together." those stupid parents and guild members

Well, speaking of popularity, I guess I have no complaints.

"The vaxes, the Javiers, will never cease to be nobles, even if they are no longer guild chiefs." The title given is not often taken away... but that's why..."

The strong willful eyes I saw one day are looking at me.

"Waxi wants to remain the guild leader of the Woodman Guild. Don't be a mere nobleman."

a mere nobleman without ability

Imelda would think that she didn't want to be like that. It's quite like this.

"The other guild-masters, no matter how much they do, cannot be made nobles."

In fact, Medra and Marsha are not aristocrats.

No matter how powerful a hunting guild is, the head of the sea guild, the race of beasts cannot become aristocrats.

I'm sure they'd say, "I'm not interested in the nobility."

What I've said so far has been generally just as I had imagined.

What I want to hear is from here.

That is,--

"Is there a problem with marriage between humans and the Beasts in this city?"

the words of Assent

"There are many things that you can't see in the 42 wards... in this town."

I mean, isn't that what you mean?

If aristocrats were full of human beings, the more they went to the center, the fewer the number of the beasts would be, the more human they would be. This will change your understanding of the animal race. Discrimination will also become more pronounced.

Assund was trying to build up his track record and dig into Chuo Ward.

Perhaps it is because Assund is a race of beasts that he is in charge of the lowest forty to forty-two chapters.

Now that you mention it, I've never seen a man and a beast couple.

Estella's parents are both human beings, and the Yaplocks, a corn farmer, are both of the Okojo people.

Theron and Wendy may be unique.

"No problem,"

There's no problem...

If what Imelda said was right, and discrimination against the Beast is almost gone these days, then there will be no problem with human-vegetarian marriage.

But...

"There are quite a few who don't like it,"

"Yes, sir," I think there are.I'm not sure, but I'm not sure... I'm not sure I'm not."

That may be why Wendy doesn't talk about her family to Theron.

Maybe Wendy's parents think... that they don't want to give their pretty daughter to a 'human' who once discriminated against them.

Also, I'm curious about what Imelda was saying earlier.

It is said that aristocrats use the Beasts as their mistresses.

There is no denying that Wendy's parents thought she would be made a mistress.Theron is not an aristocrat, but if he believes that 'human beings are that kind of creature,' it is possible.

"Is there a double marriage in this world?"

"Is there a country that doesn't have one?"

Oh, that's the kind of perception...

Well, in a world like this, I feel like I hate the breakup of a family. It's only natural to do it for the sake of succession.

"but these days only the royals and the nobles around them do so."

"Is that so?"

"It's expensive to have multiple spouses."

"Well, that's the case,"

But Assunto and Pompeo would have that much money to spare.

"Then, of course, it's possible for ordinary people to get married again?"

"Yes, there's no institutional problem." If it's worth it..."

Imelda's eyes freeze in an instant.

Rather than sullen, I felt something close to murder."

Well, I don't think it's such a big deal.

"Does Javier have any concubines or concubines?"

"If there is..."

A handax emerged from under the table.

"... with the hand of a viper, I'

"... I don't think there's any... Javier, I think you're the type who takes great care of your wife..."

That was such a big deal... You're trying to kill me like that.

contempt, aversion, physiological discomfort I have it on my face without concealing it.

I saw Imelda holding a knife for the first time... that's scary. As a woodcutter at one end, I'm afraid I'll be able to get on strong outside the street gate.

From what I've heard, polygamy is recognized, but it doesn't seem to have a very good impression. In particular, I don't think the succession issue is taken seriously.

Imelda and Estella are both only daughters, but neither parent is trying to get a son.........well, come to think of it.

"Can Estella have more than one husband?"

"It's impossible,"

Although he said he was allowed to marry twice, he was denied the matter with an immediate answer.

"I doubt the marriage itself with that kind of milk,"

"No, it's not your nature, it's institutional?"

There's a certain number of people, whether it's just milk or milk.k.

That's not the case...

"That's impossible, isn't it?"

"Is it possible for a man to have more than one daughter-in-law, but not the other way around?"

"She's a good laughing stock, with a loose sense of chastity. Besides, if there were more than one husband-in-law, there would be no bone-and-bones quarrel over the succession...there would be no one in the domain who would welcome the visible cause of the quarrel."

The people of every domain want a peaceful life.

It's hard to look at the day when there's a power struggle in the territory.

"Double marriages are allowed under the 'just' system, but what people think of them is a different story."

"It's not illegal, you know, and it's not something you're willing to do,"

"And don't you think monogamous love is beautiful?"

"That's how the people's perception is changing."

"I think it's a little disingenuous, after all, of polygamy."

"I don't think so,"

"Oh? Do you want to have more than one wife?"

no way

I don't want to do more than one.

I'm in absolute trouble. It's too much trouble just to think about it.

I love and love a woman.........what am I saying?

I was a little embarrassed by my thoughts.

In the first place, I don't have any more. It doesn't suit you.

... who cares about me?

Imelda's gaze sharpens, perhaps because of my silence. It's as if you're trying to see through my brain.

... Stop it. Don't look at me like that. What if a hole opens?

"Oh, my God!"

I've got some sort of bad air, so I'm going to pinch a cough.

... well, Imelda's bastard... well, well.

"I'd like you to summarize what you've told me so far."

A nobleman must be human.

Even if they are not nobles, the race of humans is regarded as a little higher and distinguished from the animal race.

Double marriages are institutionally recognized, and some aristocrats in Chuo Ward may have concubines or concubines.

However, the Beasts are not even considered concubines, and they are treated as concubines.

And even ordinary people can get married twice. However, it's not very ethically desirable.

That is to say, it is no wonder that Wendy's family, a race of beasts, in their marriage to the human Theron, thinks that 'our daughter will be made a mistress of a human being' or that 'she will be treated equally.'

and, perhaps, both Theron and Wendy are very aware of it.

This may be... a pretty deep-rooted problem...

I feel a little overwhelmed by heavy emotions.

Their marriage will surely go well if they don't get out of the 42 wards. I'm sure I'll be able to live a happy life without any problems.

After all, the lord is that Estella. Discrimination no longer exists in these 42 wards, and Estella should not let them do it.

But the trouble is that Wendy's parents, who live in the Thirty-Fifth Ward, are...

"Well, Imelda," I don't care what you think. I don't care if you don't have any proof, but I'd like you to answer as you please."

I don't care if it's just a small talk.

I wanted to hear the opinions of people other than myself.

"Do you think Theron and Wendy's marriage will go well?"

"I think I'll goin',"

Imelda responds simply.

as if it were a matter of course

And

"Because Mr. Jiro will move like that?"

I got an expectant stare.

Well, well... I'm going to try to do that.

That's not the case, but an objective opinion.........

"I want to be with the people I like... as much as I want them to be satisfied... I can understand the feelings of vaxxers."Suddenly a soft, maidenly expression peeps into her face.

Of course... I thought Imelda was also a girl.

"I'm looking forward to the end where everyone can be happy."

"...don't expect too much of me. He's a coward."

"Huh... it's an interesting joke."

Hmm. Don't you believe it?

I could hear what I wanted to hear and somehow see the outline of the problem.

I stand up and thank Imelda.

Imelda, who came to the door to see me off, said this at the last minute.

"I was glad that you relied on me."Come and see me whenever you want."

He smiled refreshingly in the clear blue sky. 　

I don't feel bad about this, but... I'm sure I'll have to ask for help again, and I'll give you a big hand then.

I leave Imelda's house and come back to Yodamari-tei.

When you enter the store...

"...I like this Magda,"

"Oh! That's what I was aiming for, too! It's the faintest but biggest one!"

"Well, both of you," They're all the same size. Let's share it well."

Jeanettes were making some noise around one table.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, Mr. Jiro. Welcome home."

Jeanette smiles at me. Magda and Loretta, however, seemed absorbed in the things on the table.

"Is it cheese tart?"

"Yes, the owner of 檸檬 brought it to me because he made a new work."

It was a slightly yellowish rare cheese tart.

Cheese tart, about eight centimeters in diameter, is neatly quartered.

"We're going to eat together."

Cut a small serving of tart into small pieces with a knife...

This is what you should have eaten. It's big enough to eat up in about two mouthfuls.

and divide them into these little pieces...

"...you choose these in order of cuteness, and Loretta later."

"That's terrible, Magdachy!? I'm as cute as Magdachy!"

"Both of you. Let's all have it together."

Jeanette says, handing out cheese tarts to everyone and putting their hands together.

"It's delicious when we eat together."

I was relieved somewhere to see Jeanette smiling like a sunflower.

At least...

It seemed to me that there was not even room for petty discrimination here.
