”Hoooh She was trying to testa woman who leads a business fir able to thoroughly investigate the ence network can't be underestimated It would also turn troublesome if we became her enemies”
Genou's eyes turned sharp after hearing Ryou
For Genou, being able to probe Ryouround seemed to have elevated his impression of Simone
He was not someone as blind because of loyalty
'What?! To think soh usually he was so like that, but as expected, he wouldn't do it in this kind of place where many people were present
”Well, for now, there's little possibility for her to turn into our ene to stay in Epiroz, I'hts over the Wortenia peninsula But well, if I have to say, we also don't knohen the situation will change Just keep your eyes on her, Genou”
”Understood But her intelligence network is really remarkable I think she uses the , what do you think?”
”It appears to be so It seems that since they are an old business firm, they have a lot of connections within the country and overseas With that being the case, they ular intervals to exchange information”
”A firanize and send people to gather information”
”Right, they see theather information In the future, Genou has to work in cooperation with the then I wouldn't be able to put up a fight even if it was only for self-defense” <tln: what=”” it=”” ence=””>
”If that's the case, then please let us support my Lord from the shadows”
As far as acquiring a wide range of infore number of people, Simone was the better option However, when it ca, and other clandestine operations, Genou was far more suitable
If one could successfully coes of both it would becoanization
A calm and relaxed smile appeared on Genou's face
He seeo down
”Well, isn't that good? Despite being unscheduled, for such an agreement to come from the first discussion with her, it was not bad So boy, are you also going to leave the purchase of supplies to the Christoph firm as well?”
”No I do not have any intention of trading with the Christoph firm this soon”
”Eh? What does that o was to start a deal? If not the to buy our supplies from?!”
While feeling surprised Lione raised her voice
They had looked specifically for a firreement of cooperation with that Christoph firm
Yet, Ryouma said that he would not make any trades with the Christoph firm so soon
In Epiroz, there were nine other business firms
However, all of the with Earl Salzberg
”Of course, we're going to trade with the Mistel firm Well, I've also discussed this with Simone It would be bad for us if we immediately traded with her Christoph firm That would only alert the Earl, see?”
Everyone was convinced when Ryouma said those words
For Earl Salzberg, if Ryous with the Christoph firer inside him
'Why did he trade with a business firainst ht have surface within the Earl's mind
For the current Ryouma, such a situation would be undesirable
That hy Ryouma and Simone decided it was best for them if he traded with the Mistel firo up against the Earl's ht
On the other hand, Ryou theainst the Earl
Besides, for Ryouht have provided various conveniences if he were to ask for them earnestly
The reason for this was that for the Earl, there was still the issue where he was e the crown, by way of the rock salt vein operation
”I see Indeed, that would be a safe move”
”I agree”
The two people who usually gave input to Ryoureed <tln: i=”” don't=”” knoho=”” and=”” who,=”” but=”” one=”” of=”” theuess=”” the=”” other=”” one=”” is=”” genou=””>
”Well, I guess, it really sounds like you Especially with how you're trying to use the Earl asthose words
What she meant was that Ryouma always made his opponents beco eht call people like that cowards
However, so like that usually became a formidable adversary
”But still, Ryouma-sama, to meet with the Christoph firrow suspicious of us then?” Sara’s eyes ere looking at Ryouma looked uneasy
”Well According to Simone, they always dispatched so Thus, no matter what I do, they would know that I've visited her”
”Then, what are we going to do?”
”Well, I will just talk honestly: ‘I tried to purchase some supplies from her and she refused’ Because of that, I now run and ask the Earl for help, requesting him to introduce me to the Mistel firm”
‘He refrained to ask the Earl for help immediately because he couldn’t afford to trouble the Earl without reason And the reason why he visited the Christoph firm first was simply because the shop seemed to be empty’
Using that, Ryou help purposefully after telling hi rejected by the Christoph firm
Ryouma would then tell the Earl that he aimed to make a deal not only with the Christoph firm, but with the others as well This, in turn, would create the i the Earl
Based on Simone’s and Genou's descriptions of the Earl, the nobleman was a completely different person compared the one he had seen at the castle
The way he praised Ryouma and also his kindness All of that was an act
The truth was that he was an arrogant person who looked down on other people
Considering his personality, if Ryou him for aid in earnest, it would then fulfill the Earl's sense of superiority
Thus, the Earl would never suspect Ryouma's maneuver
”I see You've thought about it that far ahead while also considering the Earl's personality, huh?”
”As usual, youngperson”
Such casual tones were voiced by some of his close subordinates
”To ood lie One that will not only make the Earl incautious and inadvertent towards us, but also give us some help while at it After that, I just have to exploit him until I have no further use for him anymore”
Saying that, Ryouma showed a cold smile
He was planning to provoke the Earl's carelessness, and then use it against him
”I guess, that is good enough But what are we going to do about the population?”
Genou voiced his question
For the ti theof supplies
