59 Episode 54: Lumberjack Guild Lady

Hours after meeting with Ambrose Demily, the lord of the Forty Ward, we had come to the house of Guildmaster Stuart Javier, the headquarters of the Woodman Guild, who lived with Deden in the middle of the Forty Ward.  In terms of luxury, the lord's residence would be superior to him, but in pure size, he might have a slight advantage.  In addition to the guild chief's residence, there are also warehouses for storing wood, factories for processing, and simple dormitories where guild members can sleep.  The occupation of so much ground in the middle of the city shows the power of the Woodman Guild.  Originally, there should not be a building that was more luxurious and larger than the lord's residence, but this Woodman Guild seems to be an exception. "But you were lucky. I can't believe I got an answer right away." Estella says in high spirits.  Demily gave us a letter of introduction, but he was the head of an influential Woodman Guild in the whole district, and we were allowed to see him later in the day, although we thought he needed to get back to the sun.  Demily was laughing, saying, "He's impatient," which is convenient for us.  It would be better to conclude the contract earlier. "I've heard of you. Come this way." We are led into a room in a luxurious building by good servants.  ...is it a woodcutter's guild that makes him so good? Is he a woodcutter, too?" In the room where he was led, there was a larger man, a better man than his servant, waiting for him... no, twice. "Well, welcome, the eagle is Stuart Javier, the guild-master of the Woodman Guild.""It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Javier," Estella is smiling at Ossan, who has grown a mustache.  It seems that this handsome Ossan is the head of the Woodman's Guild.  As expected, he is the head of a woodcutter's guild... his upper body muscles have become amazing.  If I get angry, my clothes will tear to pieces. "It was such a sudden request, but I really appreciate your time so quickly.""Don't worry. Other people will do the work. The guild chief is rather free." a big man who giggles like a lot  Javier seems to be a very strong man. "I've read a letter from Ambrose. They want me to send a woodcutter." Javier calls out Demily's first name.  I don't know if it's okay to be a feudal lord, but as Demily said, we're on good terms with each other. Well, we're close in age. "Yes, that's right. I'd like to set up a street gate in 42 wards, from which I can go directly to the deepest part of the forest." Estella highlights the advantages for the Woodman Guild.  The Woodman's Guild is now out of Forty, moving through the woods, and active; The forest is dangerous with rampant demons. Therefore, it is impossible to stay too long.  So the loggers have advanced only relatively close to the forest...that is, the Forty.  A gate in the Forty-two wards would greatly expand the field of activity for the Woodman Guild.  What's more, he says he's going to buy a lot of sawdust almost permanently in the future, which must be a very positive deal for the Woodman Guild.  There may be some things that need to be worked out in terms of introductory taxes and attractions, but the contract itself should work out well.  It's Estella's territory from here. I'm not going to interfere.  So I stand next to Natalia and stick to my entourage. ...I've just been scolded for the way I treat Demily. I don't think I need anything. "Well, there's no problem with terms and treatment. It sounds good for the Eagles and the Woodman Guild.""Yes, I'm sure it will."`I can't help being told this by a beautiful woman,' Javier laughs again.  Estella smiles along with it.  This has already been decided.  All right. Now we have a street gate in the 42 wards, and the main road leading to it has been built, and Yodamari-tei is very prosperous on a shelf.  Welcome to the bright future! Good-bye, old bird! --and then. "Dad, are you calling me?" The negotiations were coming to an end, and Estella was talking and laughing with Javier, who should be called a muscle d'Arma, with a full diplomatic smile on his face, when he was suddenly approached by the outside of the room.  I saw a gorgeous lady standing behind a large wooden door held by the servant.  The shiny blonde hair dances softly and lightly as if it had a loose perm at the ends.   Fine, slick hands and feet, but with a perfect style.  White skin glamorous like a high-quality pearl gives the viewer a sense of purity and noble beauty, and small red fruit-like lips keep the viewer's eyes glued.  And the most distinctive feature is the long, cool eyes.  She has charming eyes that combine the serenity of a deep ocean with the strength of a burning magma.  Those who are gazed at by these eyes will not hesitate to think this way. "I want to be scolded for staring at my eyes! I want to be cursed!" There was a girl there who seemed to be strong-willed to make me feel like I was being sassy. "...huh," Well, it's pretty.  It is no wonder that the loggers are getting hot. "Oh! Imelda, are you here?" Javier's Ossan melts facial muscles.  His face looks so disheveled that you think his muscle tissue has collapsed.  Do you like your daughter so much? "Let me introduce you to my daughter, Imelda.""...thank you," At a glance at us, Imelda greets us curtly.  ...what? It's kind of disgusting! "Imelda, they are representatives of the lord of the 42nd district.""In the Forty-two wards..." An imelda's priceless gaze is directed at Estella.  Estella manages to keep her smile, with her blatant gaze twitching. "And what can I do for you?" I don't seem to have any particular impressions on Estella.  Hey, hey... ...who is it? Estella is the only daughter of the lord.""The truth is that he wants to attract branches from the Woodman's Guild, with the aim of building a town gate in Forty-two wards.""You want me to invite you?""Oh, isn't it a bad story? If a street gate is built in the 42nd Ward, it will be easier to get to the depths of the forest, which has been difficult to get to, and there will be permanent demand for wood in the 42nd Ward...""I'm not convinced," Imelda screams like ice, interrupting Javier's words in high spirits.  Javier hardened and at the same time the air in the room froze.  ......what is he saying?"Oh, well, Mr. Imelda?""What is it, Mr. "Deputy," the lord of the Forty-two wards?" Imelda looks at Estella by adding unpleasant emphasis to each clause.  He's leaning his head and looking condescending.  ... I'm starting to see a clear bloodbath coming up next to me. Calm down, Natalia. When you move, there will be dead people. "What do you mean by "I'm not convinced...""You're right,""Can you tell me the details?" Estella is a fine nobleman.  Even after this attitude, she still responds with a smile without expressing her anger.  ...and the woman next to me seems to be seething. "Do you need an explanation?" stretch out one's hands and shrug one's shoulders  It's a gesture that Americans make, saying, "I'm dumbfounded, I'm d*mned."  That pose is really annoying when you do it. "Because it's the 42nd leg, isn't it? The bottom of All Bloom. The city is dirty, the people are shabby, the people are hard black bread with thin vegetables. There's no place to see, no tradition or history to talk about. There's nothing beautiful everywhere. Why should my glorious Woodman Guild set up a branch?" ............I'll put up with it only twice. "I've been there only once in my childhood, but I regretted going there. It smells so funny in the city that I thought I'd get sick. It's a place I'd never like to go again. And there's still a slum in the 42nd leg, isn't there? It's dangerous." ... once more. "That's a misunderstanding, Mr. Imelda,""Oh? What do you mean?""Certainly, the 42nd arrondissement may not have been a proud city, but in the last few months our city has changed a lot. The city has become beautiful, the people are full of life, and the slums have now been reborn as a new town under the leadership of the Torbeck Works, which is based here, and has become a peaceful and open area.""But "the forty-two wards" after all right? ..................ZERO. "Waxi, I like to love beautiful things more than anything else. In the 42 wards of his reincarnation, there is one thing that a waxi deserves to love? Anything that matches the beauty of this waxi...""Estella". I ignore the pompous blonde and call out to Estella.  You needn't be so considerate of him. "Let's talk about it later, and we'll make a deal quickly. Mr. Javier, the head of the Woodman's Guild, is in charge of it. We'll get his approval, and we'll get his signature. We'll try to persuade him for hours, years, centuries later." And I say definitely, with a disdainful glance in the eyes of the young lady, who shows her disgust. "Beauty is the only attraction of mascots when welcoming and seeing them off.""What!" Yes, that's all right.  Keep an eye on me.  It's not Temae that counts, it's Temae's father.  More importantly, all you have to do is to sign the autograph of Temae's father.  Conditionally, there is no reason for Javier to decline this contract.  It is hard to believe that they despise guests who are introduced directly to their lords.  Whatever the fussy and misguided lady says, this negotiation is as good as finished at the working level.  Then there's no point in dealing with such a disgusting fellow.  One thing we've learned is that the loggers are muscular enough to make up their brains.  It's impossible to be enamored of a woman like this.  You're just handsome, aren't you?  No, Estella is a few steps up the ladder.  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "We're not free, either, Mr. Javier. Let's talk about work now, if you will tell us more and more about your beautiful lady." Shutting out the opportunity for outsiders to break in, I'll move on.  All you have to do is stare at me in the corner of the room.  Your pretty face is so humiliated that I shudder.  I'm sorry, I'm quite a dude, too. I'm not going to give in like you are. "Now, Mr. Javier. Let's move on.""Dad!" Estella offers the papers and tries to resume the conversation when a disturbing scream breaks in. "If you set up branches in the Forty-two wards, the name of my noble Woodman's Guild will be tarnished! To have a Woodman in an unbeautiful city itself is a humiliation! I am absolutely against a viper!" It's not a beautiful city.  Do something about this road with Temen before you tell me.  I glanced at Javier and said, "I'll ignore your selfishness and get a contract right away." "I can't conclude this contract!" Javier turned his hand around.  Huh!? Didn't you just say smiling is "not bad" or "good for the Woodman Guild?""Hey, Mr. Javier!" I can't stand it, but I crowd Javier.  I thought I'd be quiet, but if I were exposed to this ridiculous atmosphere, I'd lose my temper and go wild. "You don't want to be hated by your daughter, do you?""Oh, I'm young." The rough man's eyes, which have lived in the dangerous woods for decades, glare at me.  The tremendous force gives me goosebumps all over my body.  ...that it's dangerous to go against him, the cells start to make a fuss. "...that's right, but what!?"`It's not "What!"' Can you hear about cell warnings? Oh, my godd*mn it! He's such a stupid parent!"The Eagle's life is Imelda! He will overturn any opinion so that he won't hate it! That's the Eagle Justice!"`You're not trying to be so proud and pathetic!' I can't do it! This guild-master wanted to put his personal feelings first, let alone public and private! I wonder if that's why she's become such a selfish girl. "Now, a beautiful viper will see you off, so please take it home!" d*mn, to quote me earlier, you're in bad shape... you're really a bad woman. "Mr. Jiro..." Natalia whispered quietly in my ear, still upset by Javier's unexpected turn of hand. "...I could kill him without anyone's notice?""...let's not do that,""...is that so?" I'm afraid... Natalia, I've been quietly accumulating the insults that Estella has suffered... I hope it doesn't explode somewhere..."Now, come this way, and I'll show you to the exit!" Imelda turns her back and heads out of the room.  ...can't we just close the door and start negotiating again?"...I'm sorry, both of you," After Imelda leaves the room, Javier murmurs an apology. "That's right, she doesn't listen once she says it,""...maybe because you were brought up wrong.""Because he's cute!" It's not "Damon," you bearded muscle! But you must be aware of your insanity when you sincerely apologize to me like this. Then I should have quietly signed the contract.""The negotiations are unfortunate, but I promise you I'll accommodate you with sawdust. It's an introduction from Ambrose, and will you do anything to help me?" I can't set up a branch of the Woodman's Guild, but I can accommodate sawdust... maybe that's the best way to drop it... then I'll be in trouble!" Without the Woodman's Guild coming, we wouldn't be able to build a street gate.  If that happens, the highway will disappear.  Then what happens to Yangdalitei?"...there's nothing we can do about it. If we push for it, it will only worsen the relationship." Estella begins to say things that seem to have given up.  For this man, the mere signing of a sewerage contract with Ambrose Demily, the lord of the Forty-Ward, is a long way off.  They must think that you don't have to stick to the gate.  That's why I'm in trouble!"Imelda! Listen to me!" and I can't care less about myself!" The point is, I should convince that selfish girl!? and this idiot parent will surely send a branch of the Woodman Guild to his daughter's cuteness!"Imelda! Come back for a second!" Call it out, however, but Imelda doesn't show up.  I don't think I've gone that far, but.........oh, no way. "The most beautiful Lady Imelda in the world! Please show her beautiful face to these fools again!""I can't help it. It's just a little while, isn't it?" Imelda came back with a graceful gait.  ......he's a fool, too. "And why, you stupid fools?" Imelda has a smirk on her face, perhaps back in a good mood.  I'm afraid he's vulnerable to flattery, isn't he?  But I can't see what's going to happen just by flattering him.  He won't shake his head unless he reimagines his negative image of the 42 wards he's had since childhood. "Will you inspect the Forty-two wards once? I want you to see the Forty-two wards that have been reborn.""I don't like it. It stinks.""I can assure you that the Forty-Second Ward is now cleaner than the Forty-Second Ward,""The Forty-Second Ward is more than the Forty-Second Ward? I'm joking too much. If it's such a big expedition, you'll turn it into a frog, won't you?""Oh, good," If you think my words are false, you can play the Spirit's Judgment.  give one's word  Forty-two wards, complete with sewage, are cleaner than Forty wards, where these roads are not even maintained!"...you have confidence in yourself.""I came to market the technology, and just signed a contract with my lord. I think it will prove that it is a more advanced technology."".........yes, yes.........." All right, just one push. "Lady, there is something beautiful in the Forty-second Ward that is very attractive to you." That's my own work.  This is the only one I can proudly say is the number one in this all-bloom. "Is there really a thing like that kind of thing. He looked at me suspiciously.  You've bitten me... I'll fold it up from here and make you say yes!"Daughter, every day... how do you go to the bathroom?" Spark! A shrill sound sent a sharp pain down my cheek. "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"... No, no... I don't mean to s*xually harass you." What a impatient young lady!"The filthy and unsanitary part of the city is, of course, the toilets, but there are clean and beautiful toilets in the 42nd leg.""Wow, the viper and the bathroom... ...are you telling me to come and see the bathroom!? It's extremely rude!" Why!? It's a flush toilet!? You'll definitely want it if you see it!? If you're a beautiful lady, you might rub your cheeks at her beauty!?"I can't tell you what I'm proud of... Oh, there's only a bathroom... and that's why the 42 wards...""Wait! Who said it's only the bathroom! There's a lot more!" Popcorn, tacos, etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "It's not even worth visiting here now if you can't convince this beautiful viper of her beauty.""Then I'll show you what I'm proud of in the Forty-second Ward. Get me a lunch, Natalia!""Very well," This is the lunch I got from Jeanette this morning.  I was going to eat somewhere, but I still hadn't touched it to avoid getting full ahead of negotiations with the Woodman Guild.  When you're full, you slow down your thinking. You had better be reasonably hungry before a battle.  And Jeanette's lunch box is not designed to "stop halfway."  It's so delicious that I can't help but eat it, especially when I'm with Estella. ... I'm sure it'll be a scramble. "It's ready," The Woodman's Guild's drawing room. On its central table lies the familiar lunchbox of the Yodamari-tei.  Interested, Imelda and Javier approach. "Now, take a look at it..." This is the strongest homemade dish in the 42nd district! It's Jeanette's lunch box!"Oh, this is.......""Well..." Imelda and Javier, peeping into the lunch box, exclaim in spite of themselves.  Jeanette's boxed meals are not only balanced and colored in general, but also each side dish is elaborated with fine details, decorations, and heartwarming care, which are truly worthy of being called art.  I'm confident that I can make the best of most things with the dexterity of master training and the skills I've trained in my profession as a swindler, but I don't even feel like fighting back.  There is no better dish in this world than Jeanette's home cooking.  The landlady is a rival to me in supplementing my memories. "Oh dear... this is beautiful." Javier gasps with admiration.  Imelda says nothing, just gazes at all the glowing dishes.  However, it can be said that the silence affirms beauty.  He's just a man who says, "There's no word.' "What do you think? This is the best food that 42 wards are proud of.""Well, the 42nd leg is really reborn." Javier nods admiringly.  Right! More bite! And sign the documents..."It's certainly beautiful! But..." "But?""It's only a temporary beauty that will decay over time." ……………… ……………… ............oh, oh!?"Waxes find value in their eternal beauty.""Wait a minute! There are many flowers in full bloom, or the view of the moving city, if not immutable!""Flower blooms beautifully again when time comes. The changing landscape is beautiful again when it changes shape. How about this?" Pointing at the lunch box, Imelda raises her eyebrows. "If you eat it, it will disappear, if you don't eat it, it will rot away, and you won't be able to look at it. I don't accept anything like this that is just a temporary display of beauty!" ......it's no good.  I'm sure this guy won't get through to anything. "But...." Imelda said this to me, shrugging my shoulders. "I admit it's a beautiful dish, and I'll go on a tour of the Forty-two wards for once, but only once, for once, if I don't persuade the Waxis... ...that the Woodman's Guild will never go to the Forty-two wards. Is that all right?" Is this an opportunity... ...or an opening for Murigay? I felt as if I were staring at a mirage swinging across the haze.  Leaving Javier's house, we returned to the 42nd leg.  I had to eat a lunch box while taking a break, but I didn't eat a single bite. I didn't have an appetite.  Once... only once... and if you can't convince that selfish lady, the location of the Yodamari-tei will not improve.  Prices are normalized and restaurant competition will intensify in the future.  You're talking about Jeanette. She must not be convinced of the relocation of the Yodamari-tei.  In that place, in that store, we have to contend with other stores." d*mn......it's pitch dark in front of me. "It's quite dark now," When I looked up at Estella's voice walking next to me, it was really dark in front of me.  It seems that the sun had set before I knew it.  The woodcutter's guild has delayed my return.  I should have been able to get back in the evening at first. "Oh? Are you..." It seems that Natalia found something as she entered the Forty-two wards and was about to reach the central square.  He's looking forward with his eyes are fixed eyes.  If you look over there........."Oh! Jiro!" There was Jeanette.  He's waving at us in front of the central square with a small lantern in his hand. "Genet, what's wrong with you, here?" As we get close to it, Jeanette runs up to us.  And he looks up at me with a happy face. "Well... you said you could come back in the evening, but I thought it was a little late...""And did you come and see what was going on?""Well, I haven't been out much, so I could only come this far." It's much better than going somewhere you don't know by yourself. "Have you kept me waiting so long?""No. I just arrived. This lantern is proof." Having a lantern means you left the store after dark...  I don't want you to do this kind of reckless thing, but... ...you ought to thank me now. "Thank you for picking me up.""Yes! Good job, everyone. How was it? Did you come to an end?""Well, Jeanette," I'll give you a brief account of what happened to Estella today.  Talking, we go into the central square and walk on. "Well, Mr. Woodman's Guild said that... ...but I'm glad the sewage was decided.""Yes, that alone is a relief." Jeanette and Estella with a soft smile.  ...it's not just sewage.  If the Woodman's Guild could not be invited.........Yodamari-tei........."Oh my gosh!""What!""Why, what's going on, Jillo?" I ran with all my might toward the eerie shadow in the middle of the central square. "Oh, again..." Genet seems to have just noticed, so maybe it's just been put in place.  I had just removed it this morning, and I wonder if they had rushed to make it... ...where a life-size wax statue resembling mine stood proudly. "This is the third body,""I can't help it. Natalia, help me carry it.""All right. I'll chop it up and divide it.""... no, it's... it's ostentatiously...." Natalia is saying horrible things, but that doesn't matter.  Yes, I don't care.  When I saw this wax image, I saw it.........  I can......... This... ...can do it!"Huh......huhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah"Hey, Mr. Jiro!""What's the matter, Jillo?" I don't care anymore about Jeanette and Estella, who are next to me, or Natalia, who gently holds a knife to silence me with all her might! ... Oh, no, let's stop Natalia.  Anyway, I saw a chance to win! God had not given up on me yet! Good point, God!"Genet!""Yes!""Estella!""What!?""And Natalia!""What is it?" I look at everyone there and give them instructions to grab hold of the winning opportunity. "Catch the criminal! Make this wax statue, and catch whatever you want!" Thus I began a mysterious sculptor capture operation.
