Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

On that day, Arcs walked with Suu to the market in King's Landing (Bazar).

Located along the Louro River, a vast river that flows through the King's City and an artery of logistics, the market is the largest in the King's City, selling everything from perishable foods to daily necessities, clothes paid off by nobles, and even engraved tools.

Colorful and simple shops lined up and loaded with vegetables and fruits are a European market.

There are also street stalls, which are classic fast-food items, and open-air merchants who just spread items over the rug.If you step in, you will hear a powerful voice that stirs up the customer's willingness to buy, and you will be surrounded by a kind of enthusiasm separate from the heat.

Like cafes and squares, which are used every time to study magic, this is one of the places where two people often go around.

The aim is to look for something unusual, but basically, the dishes sold at the stalls are meant to be.

It's not elegant because it's from Shimomachi, but it's cheap and tasty.

And its representative is Ducksand, a specialty of the King's Landing.

Fast food with stir-fried duck wrapped in a classic gravy sauce sandwiched in a large parcel (paoz) cooked and steamed with flour.

The appearance is a compromise that the bread reminiscent of the Chinese of the man's world contains Western-style equipment.

The bundle (Paoz) is steaming, and the contents are also steaming and hot.The smell is the same, but the illuminated brown sauce drips on the white package (Paoz), and I can't help it.

Suu Su's mouth was full of cheeks.

"Ahm... hmm"

Su chews the duck sandwich and makes a satisfying voice.

His face was full of smiles and he could see how happy he was.

I like Suu, that's it.

"Yes! This is the lower town of King's Landing!Ah, happiness.... "

That's what I said. I took the duck sandwich out of the bag and put it on my cheeks again.

I don't suppose this young lady can do this kind of meal either.

Every time Sue chews a duck sandwich, she chews.

In fact, the duck sandwich is delicious, so is this reaction natural?

As she immersed herself in the aftertaste of intoxication, she turned her eyes and sauce hung around her mouth.

"Suu, the sauce on your face.With sauce. "

"What? Where?

"Here, there."

I point to my face as I teach, but the direction of consciousness on the left and right is different from the standard of these interactions.

She just wipes the other side, even if this point is with her finger.

I hate such an unclear exchange and wipe my mouth with the handkerchief I took out.

"--hiu!?

Such a voice rises to my surprise.

Don't move.

"Uh-huh...."

Point out that Su will never shrink.Have you been ashamed of your crude appearance?Eventually, after wiping her face, Su looked amazing.

"Thank you...."

No, you're welcome.

Respond casually to thank you and leave a handkerchief.

... if you look at the other side, you can find skewers grilled from the east and western style fruit juice shops.

As with the duck sandwich earlier, there are not many food cultures in King's Land that are mixed with those of the East and the West.

In this way, the partial eclectic hue is strong, probably because the Crosel Road family who brought up the kingdom is from the east.When the region was still in the midst of war, there was a history of bringing together the clans of the region to boost the kingdom.

There is also a strong interaction with the East, because there is a reason.

Because of this, the kingdom is scattered with the feeling that culture has become messy, even if the base is Western-style.

The most important thing is food culture.

It is truly a pity that Hamburg has not been developed for me.

A familiar stall owner speaks with a prestigious voice.

"Hey Sue! Are you dating your boyfriend again today?It's always hot!

"Hey! Hey, Uncle!Nothing. Arks is not my boyfriend!What are you saying all of a sudden?

"Isn't it always sticky?"

"That's not true!

"Really? The sauce that just came out of my mouth..."

"Ahhhhh!?

Su shook her hand loudly and raised her voice to deceive the owner of the stall.The shopkeeper just turned a glance at whether Su's attitude was funny or not, and when she saw it, she began to pound.

It can be seen that the people around me are also looking slightly at each other.

... because I'm somehow with her, people around me think so, and they tease me like this.

Until now, it used to stick around a little bit, but lately, I feel that it is somehow more twitchy than before.I guess it's because I don't feel childish anymore.I began to be aware of my friends and began to avoid inadvertent contact.

I miss the fact that you can no longer favor me.

"Miss Su, take a look at our products.There's something interesting in there. "

"Eh? Oniisan said that before, and it was weird after all, right?

"Su-chan, there's a nice apple in there.Bring me one. "

"Ah, thank you, Auntie!

... Suu is a popular person.

This is basically what happens wherever you are, and you get along quickly with anyone.

Is it because of its bright and naive character?

I wonder if you're good at getting into your personal space.

People are uncomfortable with physical and spiritual approaches, but in the case of Suu, distance seems to be good, and most people like it.

It's strange that I have only friends who seem like friends, but anyway.

In men's worlds, the word charisma is often used to describe these people, but this is exactly what it is.

The mysterious charm attracts the opponent.

I'm sure I'm one of them who's analyzing her like that.

I wonder if these people will be the founders and leaders of religion.

Let her make a speech here once and everyone will stop.

(There's nothing like people around me, is there?

Compared to these people, I still think that I am an ordinary person.

If there were any differences from the others, there would be so much of a man's life experience and knowledge.There is no such thing as a hero with a special and incredible power, which is common in men's world readings, and magic does not leave the realm of ordinary people.

In that regard, Suu will be less successful than the others.Magic has incredible capacity, and the magic used is even more powerful than other humans.

Besides, it is also interesting to compare it because it has an arm strength.

Previously, I was proud of the results of my daily exercises.

"Recently, my uncle's training was worthy of my strength."

So you want to wrestle?

I lost.

Moreover, in her case, she was a foolish force that could not be beaten simply by applying a little force.It is very strange where such power lies in that thin and supple arm, but many people in this world have such extraordinary powers, not just magic.

Life is unequal and unfair.When you get a little bit confident, someone with more power comes to break that confidence.I'm sad now.

Regardless, it seems that Suu is now thirteen years old and started going to the magic court.

It is a mystery that the frequency of meetings is almost the same as before.

- Magic Court study?I will attend Dr. Mercler's lecture.

That's what she said when she asked about the Magic Court.

Leave without saying that it is not very useful except for the lecture of the Master of the Nation's Decree.

Rather, it is more beneficial to study with myself.

Probably because she has a decent magic tutor.

Magic history, grammar, and legitimate studies are all studied there, so the Magic Court lectures are of low value.

The quality of the Magic Court lecture is by no means inferior.

Therefore, learning with yourself, which can acquire knowledge that can not be acquired elsewhere, is preferred.

Anyway,

"Is that it?

And when asked.

"'Cause sometimes the author pulls even unnecessarily legged text.

Explanatory manuals in the Proverbs are often mixed with the subjectivity of the authors.Since spells extract and treat the meaning of words and their hidden intentions, they still contain commentaries that the author has read too deeply.

The instructor does not recognize it as "deep reading" and teaches it as a new discovery.

For a person who started studying from the Chronicle, it would be a blow-out.

... even though I just put the sauce in my mouth, I cheeked the bundle (Paoz) happily again.Dressed as usual in a white jacket and underneath, it looks easy to move.

The black hair is not lacking in care, and the eyes are scattered with emerald shine in the rugged glass.Her eyes, which were narrowed by the sword, were now completely open, giving her a feeling of joy.

"What's wrong?

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

Does she think she wants something when she realizes she was looking at her face and turns away?

"Do you want Arks too? Just one bite is fine."

"... isn't that a little bitter?

"Ah, don't complain to me!"

Well, have a sip.

"Yes"

When the duck sandwich is served, the duck flavor spreads into the mouth.

That goes with the bundle (Paoz), and this is again.

"Good."

Isn't it?

Walk out with such an unusual story.

On this day, I went out to study magic as usual... not for my own business.

When I told Suu about it this time, I pressed him to follow me.

Despite this priority, I was able to look around the market (Bazar) first to hear her request, either because of the invisible balance of power between me and her, or simply because I wanted to make her look sweet.

The destination is a large shop that is often used to make magic meters and engraved materials.

At the request of the royal family, the Magic Meter was newly produced in memory, but the Magic Silver was needed in large quantities, and I came to check the stock status with the big shop that always ordered the ingredients.

"- You don't have any magic silver in stock?

Immediately after entering the store, that's what the warden said.

When I heard back, the warden lowered his head to look terribly sorry.

"That's... yes.I ran out of stock.I apologize for making you feel bad every time. "

"But why suddenly?I thought you said you needed it.

"Yes, of course, but the procurement was delayed...."

"Purchase?

"Yes, to tell you the truth, I've been able to buy a small quantity for a while now, and I've been replenishing the stock that I'm selling, and the other day I had that stock."

"It's gone."

"Yes"

I know I don't have the stock, but the question is why.

Sure, magic silver is an important commodity, but since the amount used for engraving is insignificant and the number of technicians is not so high, the demand should not exceed the supply.

Thinking about that, the warden said,

"I've never had such a small purchase before... but I don't know what happened to this situation."

"The amount of silver produced under magic silver has decreased?

"No, I hear that's as it has always been.However, from the Chamber of Commerce that directly wholesale magic silver, several retail outlets began buying at high prices, reducing the amount of money entering here. "

If there is no change in output or production, that is probably the reason.

Someone bought it first.

Or maybe you started hitting me with a bundle of bills.

But...

"But if you suddenly come up with something like that, don't you complain about anything else?

"It seems that the nobility is breathing, and the wholesale trade union is not very big."

"I see....."

If there is a reason for that, I can't help but cut the stock, but then another problem will arise.

The gathering of the aristocratic chambers of commerce meant that the nobility's treasure was the only place to go.

That inevitably leads to the question of why we have collected so much magic silver so far.

"By the way, do you know that nobleman?

"I am still hearing rumours that it is Uncle Nadal, although there is still uncertainty.It's still in the rumor stage. "

"Nadar...."

Count Polk Nadar.

He is a superior nobleman with territory in the western part of the kingdom and one of the kingdoms bordering the neighboring British Empire.

The fact that a chamber of commerce with such a lord behind it is buying and fishing magic silver at a high price is true.

"You're collecting them to maintain your military might?

"Now that's all I've got....."

"Hmm...."

Magic silver is used for engraving and is also an important military material that is mainly used for weapons processing.

Magic silver is essential to maintaining and expanding combat power, as every army wants to have stamped weapons.

"But that's strange.Collect it in multiple chambers of commerce, and then collect as much as you can. "

"We don't know much about it, but if we don't do something about it, it's hard to get it."

Then we'll have to multiply them up and put pressure on them.

The production of magic gauges is a project that is powered by the royal decree of the King.

If you tell Crave and Godward about this situation, the situation will improve.

But naturally, it will take some time before that happens, and it may not be without trouble.

You will need to go shopping for what you want right now.

"Magic silver, how do I get it?

"In that case, I wonder if it would be a good idea to go directly to the western Rustinel territory to buy it.The lord over there owns more than one silver mountain and has a magic silver workshop. "

"Rustinel territory... I think I should talk to Noah.Okay, I'll go.Thank you. "

"Yes, thank you for your love every time."

When I left the store listening to the noble thanks of the warden, Suu, who had been very quiet until then, opened his mouth.

"Buying away magic silver...."

"Oh, why would I do that again?"

"Simply because you need a lot of it."

Sure. Magic silver is not cheap, so it's not like building stockpiles like salt or wheat.

If the aim is not to expand armaments, it is conceivable that market manipulation comes first.

But, of course, we are forbidden to do anything around here, so we shouldn't have to do anything lightly.

Obviously, the DA will sniff at you.Then you will soon be punished.

"Then I guess I'll strengthen my own army....."

The Nadar Territory is in a position to constantly intimidate other countries by force due to the nature of such lords, as their territory faces other countries.

If you think it's difficult to attack, that's what deters you.

If we strengthen our armies, we will be more effective, and if other countries increase their armaments, we will need to match them.

Then again, the most likely thing is to strengthen your military capabilities.

That said, Su was thinking of another reason.

"And there's another reason to sell it to someone else.

"Sell it to someone?

"Yes, not to sell it at a high price for domestic use, but to other countries or to countries that are entertaining."

"I see. You're not the only one who wants supplies in the country."

"That's right. Nadar is exporting as part of his foreign currency acquisition... mainly the Empire."

"The British Empire... is that okay?

"Well, depending on the thing, I guess.I'll get the money, too.Depending on the content of the export, it also means an economic strategy.If you keep it superficially friendly, it won't be a war soon. "

"But I don't deal with hostiles....."

As soon as I hear about the enemy, it's because I followed the man's life, it's linked to economic sanctions.

Besides, it sounds bad that the Kingdom is dealing with its biggest enemy.

"Yes, I do.'Cause it's peaceful now. "

There has been a skirmish between the British Empire and the Rhinole kingdom a few years ago, and it has not developed into a major battle recently.

There will be trouble with the nobles whose territory is adjacent, but as she says, peace is preserved.

Then,

"Well then, Dr. Sue is going to ask the Arcs students a question."

Suddenly a setting that I don't quite understand was added.

"Hah, what the hell is going on, Doctor?

"Ah! I'm not willing to do it. It's a deduction.

Oh yeah.By the way, what happens if I take a red dot?

"Arcs will be my slave for a certain period of time."

"Hyah. You don't have a hand or a foot if you have a problem that only you know.

"Ah! That's a good idea!Here you go!

"It's not good!Don't ask me when!

Naturally, I refuse with all my might.

If that happens, I don't know what I'm ordered to do with a girl who imagines flying every time.

"... so, what's the question?

"Why should the Kingdom of Rhinol maintain peace with its enemy, the British Empire?Ah, because the kingdom likes peace, and the weak answer is no good. "

It seems that she dreams of a strong kingdom around saying it's weak, either way.

"Well, you don't want a war, do you?

"That's right. Then why doesn't the kingdom want war?

"Well, fighting the Empire hurts a lot, and you want to avoid it as much as you can."

"But the Empire that wants to expand its prints to the south-east will one day invade the kingdom.So, what do you think the kingdom has to do?

I see, that's what I mean.

"Either way, the battle against the Empire is inevitable.Then the Kingdom wants to accumulate enough power to confront it by then.That's why we trade and interact and ostensibly remain friendly in order to maintain peace as much as possible.I'm trying to keep the nobles at the border as much as I can.... "

"That's what it is. Arcs student.Well done./(adv-to, adv-to) (on-mim) chitchat/chitchat/"

Well, then, there's no surprise in having a deal.

Rather, it is an important strategy to make deals to obtain enemy supplies and information.

So the situation is going well as a national policy?But if you're facing territory, there's a lot of resentment, so there's an outbreak, right?

So let's change territory.Exchange it for a diplomatic nobleman with no ties to the enemy.This way, at least the people up there are committed to avoiding the war, so we can contain the outbreak. "

"Wow...."

It is radical to force a change of territory with good intentions.

"But is that going to be easy?

"You can't help being somewhat dissatisfied.But I can't help thinking about profits and disadvantages. "

... when you listen to me, it sounds pretty rude.

In feudal societies with a strong attachment to the land they own, rearrangement is close to prohibition.

If a new territory is given and the day is shallow, it can be a breeding ground for great dissatisfaction to hand over the territory to the nobles who have pride and attachment that they have opened the land and ruled over people.

Of course, I don't think the target aristocracy complained, but the kingdom wanted more time for war than it had to.

"There's something I can do.I'll make it a better place than my current territory.You want me to give you a medal? And then we'll just properly beat him up, take the blame, confiscate the territory. "

"It's like drawing tyranny in a picture.Scary. "

But if we go through this story, yes.

"I mean, that's what Uncle Nadal and I did."

"Yes, it is."

"But wouldn't you be scared if you moved it to an untrustworthy aristocracy?I can't tell you a lot, but you betray me.

Speaking of such anxiety, the signs of Su su become cold.

And then...

"- That's why we must put a credible military house behind it.If we keep him under constant surveillance and keep his back tight, he won't be able to easily run a rebellion. "

"You're threatening me from behind....."

Her dreadful analysis is a drawback.

But it does work.

Betrayal would draw enemies into their own territory, but if they were already expecting betrayal, they could do less damage, and the nobles around them could immediately take an outside action to surround them.

Somehow the conversation was going on, but I think so.

"... that's what I'm familiar with, isn't it?"

Hmm. I'm studying. "

"What do you learn more about studying?

"If you're studying, you'll learn more, won't it be normal!?What happens to Arks, who knows better than you, even though you're not studying!?

"No, I'll study too..."

"What? What kind of strategic guide did Raceft have?I can't miss that. "

"Huh? That's, uh..."

Suu's inquiry bothered him.

I basically owe this knowledge to the book that the man was reading.

In the case of men, it was mostly the end of reading once, but since I can remember it only once, it is not so difficult to retrieve knowledge if the man even read it during the chase experience.

"No, I mean, what do you mean you can't miss it?

"Is that, uh, all sorts of noble stuff?

That said, I tilted my neck.

Why is it questionable?

In the first place, yes.

"After all, you're noble, aren't you?

"Arks somehow knew that, didn't he?When we first met. "

Well...

I knew it.

To be honest, Sue feels swelling somewhere.

Even though I succeeded in escaping her questions, I am still concerned.

"Dealing with the Empire....."

"I still don't know if that's true, so I can't say anything."

When I was talking about that, Su's cold atmosphere returned to the wipe.

"... but you're buying too much magic silver.We have to do something about it. "

It's still a tough side she peeks at when she's normal.When this happens, there is always a cold wind that makes you feel cold without anything.

The way you put your hand against your mouth and pondered your eyes was to enter the hall of adult facial defeat.

You're sniffing your nose and suddenly murmuring, "It smells like fat..."

It's quite strange that the tone of voice changes from time to time.

"Do something?

"Oh, yeah."

"Can you do something about it?

When she asked, Su fluttered her face as if she had noticed something.

"Eh? No, ah, ahahaha!What are you talking about, Arcs!?I can't do that!No more!

Like this, it's a sudden misleading laugh.

…………

As I said earlier, I really doubt who this girl is.

The children of the aristocracy still use tough words, but not only words and knowledge, but also sharp insights and power this time.

Looking at Suu, who seemed restless and confused, she somehow turned back her jito eyes.

"What's with your eyes and cheeks?

"Give me another hand...!Stop it! It's really creepy!Gyah! "

"Hmm! I knew it was soft!

This is what always happens after all...
