She was so informal words as if she had known the other party for years, yet right now she speak neatly
Also, she was a beauty
She was young, and a bit naive when it coh experience to cover her flaw
In addition, she was a beautiful wo jokes, without contehtly in sexual harassment manner like an old man
Still, she was a beautiful woman
Some people had opinion such as ‘If she were not a woreat merchant', but some people also had different view such as ‘Precisely because she was a woman that she had that kind of personality…', there was even those who said ‘Marichan such an Angel…' That's right, the person er, Maria Search A young star that gained fame recently, and could be said the merchants' idol
Of course, her profession as a merchant also professional But nowould always stay useless, though being attractive was not a disadvantage in business… But then again, if one were beautiful even if the profit falls a little, the dirty ive just a bit A man was that kind of creature
“…”
Well, Maria was popular a the people, but in truth, she was indeed a fine lady She was the child fro business in Kato Though she was bellow Erika, she did someone who had learn culture and etiquette In the first place, just because she speaks brokenly didn't mean that she could not talk formally
If she could only speak informally, then that would be stupid in the world of business
“… Thank you for inviting antly In response to such greeting, Erika stunned then gazed at her with an a, Maria Did you hit your head somewhere?”
“Hit et myself hit anywhere, I think?”
“Then, what's with that way of speaking… Can't you stop speaking that way? It feels disgusting, and u… N-No- Eriksa this way, no?”
“… Seriously, what's wrong with you?”
“… Ohohoho”
Erika was shuddering due to Marika sudden transformation but… In fact, it was Maria ants to protest the one to Erika residence due to Erika's invitation telling her that she wanted to talk to her, but Maria was surprised when she saw soet Kota And it was not like she didn't know the person, in fact, she had been seeing the person a few tiht? You don't have to mind hness, Sonisama! N-No no, I can't do that… Ah, I'm sorry, I mean is thank you for the consideration, but I would love to refrain…!”
It was interesting to see how Maria was in a panic… But the person as sitting opposite to her in this tea party was princess Sonia, the 11th child of King Carlos the First It was understandable that she would be frightened
“… Oho, Maria You didn't seem nervous when you met me, but look at you now…”
“N-No no, that is not what I meant…”
Maria never meant to look down on Erika She was soh she acted like a friend, Erika was, in fact, a member of the royal family, she was the elder sister of the current queen It was sohter of a merchant should not associate with
“Still, Eriksama is Eriksama after all…”
“… What do you doner country, and in her eyes, Erika was just the boss of another place It was natural that one had to pay respect to a boss of another place, but at least it was psychologically different compared to when one faced one own place's boss…
It was bothersome to be hated by the boss of another place, but it was not fatal However, it would be different if the person in front of her was the Sorbania royal family
Search Firdo was located in Sorbania
If by soht lose their home and fortune Even if you're hated by the president of a business partner, it won't have a result that bad, but if one were to be hated by one own's president then, it can be said as a salaryman, their life had ended
“… If you're that nervous, then you won't be able to talk, you know? Why don't you sit down first? How long are you going to stand there anyway?”
While prompted by Erika, Maria sits down on her chair It was the usual chair she had to sit a few times before, but somehow it felt more fluffy than usual…
“I will prepare some tea Please enjoy it, Marisama”
“T-Thank you very much …”
Maria carries the tea to herto maintain her posture To be honest, she didn't do an excellent job at it, but well, it cannot be helped…
“Well then, Marisan I' you so suddenly like this…”
“Oh no, it is fine…”
While saying those words, Maria gazed at Sonia interestingly Noticing her gaze, Kota could not help but shrugged his shoulders
“… There's various circumstance but, from now on, Princess Sonia will stay in Tera…”
“I will be living here in the future It is encouraging for me to meet someone from Sorbania in Terra please treat racefully… Maria, on the other hand, hesitates to what extent she should respond Causing her hands to trehness!”
“About that ‘your highness,' can you stop callingto marry into Kota's family Since I already left the royal family, please do call me just, Sonia…”
Kyaa Sonia said those words while putting both her hands on her cheeks and looked eh and placed his hand on his forehead On the other hand, Maria, who heard that, stared still and opened her ht fall off Such a chaotic situation…
“… Ha? Married into?”
“… Sonisan, not ht?”
“Oh ? In the end, I will be married into Kotsama's family in five or six years…”
“That is why… Marisan? E on?”
Kota calls out to Maria, who looked stunned…
“No well, there are et around… But the botto to take Sonisa…”
“Kotsa that she sighed…
“… What is it?”
“No, well, as expected, Kothan, you're indeed a demon lord, huh?”
“This is not the part where you're convinced with such a thing!”
“Well, it is the job of the demon lord to kidnap a beautiful princess after all?”
“That is… Ah, whatever, let us leave it at that…”
Actually, he was the one being pushed to take her, but it was too bothersohed… Kota hied two to three years…
“… Now then Let us get down to business Marisan, we're actually planning a large-scale infrastructure in Tera…”
“Funn…”
“We're planning to build a port this tiood idea! Since there's no port right now, it was really inconvenient desuwa~” <tln: she=”” forced=”” the=”” ‘desuwa'=”” at=”” the=”” end=”” to=”” keep=”” sound=”” polite…=””>
“ Maria You don't have to worry about ht?' Noticing her questioning gaze, Kota nodded his head
“… hen, I will speak as usual… Back to the story, I agree that you should build a port here… I think it is good to have it, Tera would then develop ood, but…' Maria tilted her head
“What are you going to consult witha company to develop the port”
“I see, so that's why you need my advice?”
“No That is not it, e need is not advice… But ement team…”
“… Ha?”
“This time, the company that conducts the port development and maintenance would be in the form of corporation Marisan… In fact, I want the merchants that are currently in Terra to buy shares of this co, he drinks a mouthful of the black tea and places the teacup back…
“I want to make ‘Rondo de Terra port development project company,' and I want you to buy stock there…”<tln: nae=”” from=”” development=”” to=”” maintenance=””>
“… What do you e scale infrastructure project Of course, due to that, the money needed for the project would be enorh reserve to pay for all of it In term of Terra current finance, we could only cover half of the total cost 500,000 white gold coins I like including Marisan, other business people to cover another half of it…”
Maria's gaze turns sharp when she heard Kota's words
“So Whichto raise tax?”
“No”
“Well, in short, ‘give me the money'?”
“What I mean is for you people to invest in Terra port development, and ill pay dividends based on the amount of the investment”
“Dividends?”
“It would be natural for people to pay for using the port we built Starting froe fees, acco made The part the people pay would be the port profit, then ill pay the profit according to the equity ratio of the shareholders, In addition, ill also grant voting rights according to the invest and sipped his tea again While waiting for Maria's reply…
“… I see”
“You understand?”
“First of all, your highness Sonia?”
“Sona is fine…”
“… Sonisama Based on my decision here… Would it impact Search Firm in Sorbania?”
“No You're a merchant, Maria No matter what decision you make here, there's no effect there and vice versa…”
Maria grinned hearing that response…
“… I see, then this is indeed an interesting offer…”
“See? Then–…”
“It is indeed a good offer, but… I'azed at Kota as if her eyes telling him ‘no'
“May I ask the reason?”
