Chapter 47

One month has passed since the attackOnce the bodies were delivered to the policemen, there was no evidence found from the corpsesHaruto reported to the Governor the involvement of Samaras Shokai once, but since there is no physical evidence, he was told that he can’t charge a person for a crime if I don’t have a testimony frolar case on the surface

Haruto tookthetheAt the sa, Tart, and the others arethe other mercenaries for them, so he increased their salary by 100,000

What he did next is to strengthen securityBut even if he increased the number of h mercenariesEven if he increase the that’ll riseAlso, if he increases their nurasp the mercenaries’ behaviorAfter all, he also wants to avoid a traitor in his home

When Haruto was troubled about what he should do, he heard a knock

「Haruto-sanIs it okay? 」

「It’s good」

When Haruto says so, Roa opens the door slowly and enters

「There’s a visitorIt’s Adonis-san」

「Adonis? I’ll receive him now」

Although the other party has recently declined, he is still the Chairh his influence has been reduced, he is still the head of one of the three major factionsHe can’t mishandle thisHaruto headed to the reception room in a hurry

「helloAsumsan」

「Aahh, helloWhat’s your business today? 」

They sat on the sofa and started talking

「It ht? To think there’s a robbery and to think you’d be attackedEven so, to believe that this kind of evil deed happened in ClarisSuch a rude robber」

Adonis says while drinking tea

「It was really hardThe only salvation is that no one diedWe are currently reviewing our security」

When Haruto says so, Adonis laughed as if he’d been waiting for it

「About that security matter……in fact, we have a new product」

That said, Adonis began explaining about the new alar that the performance has dramatically increased

Haruto thought while listeningHaruto purchased all histhe latest alarood perfor Wolfstan Shokai’s productsThis is called socializingHe intends to buy the new alarm system even without such a description, and Adonis should be aware of it

「And the nificant feature of this alarm is that information is instantaneously conveyed to the policeDo you know about the communication machine that’s recently in practical use in the E that technologyIf you had this, you wouldn’t be afraid of thieves, right? We’re trying to sell this syste? We will attach it to your hoe」

Haruto thought about itThe i is not the alarm, it’s the security system combined with the alarmIf there are no rivals, it would be profitableFirst, bring the product to Haruto since Haruto was just attackedThe burglar incident also ood publicity

「I can’t decide until I know the priceHow much is it? 」

Hearing Haruto says so, Adonis’s face distorts a little

「The transmission between the resonators is a little stretchedIt depends on the distance, but it will roughly be 50 millionIf it’s in the suburbs, 60 millionIf it’s outside the wall, 70 millionWhen it’s as far as Asuma Shokai’s second factory, 100 million will be necessaryIf the prospect of mass production is settled, the cost can be reduced by about 40……Kirishi+an’s technology is a little lower compared to the mainland of the Empire」

Adonis said as ifan excuse

This system is not bad, and the security will rise dra a favor to AdonisStill, the price is the priceHaruto answered after thinking for a while

「I understandI’ll buy itAside from Asuma Shokai’s branches, please also install it in the factory」

He can’t do it since he can’t build relationshi+ps with police officers other than ClarisThat’s what he means

「It’s what I expectIt will also be an advertisement to the outsideI’ll do my bestBy the way, about the price……」

The result of price negotiation, the total construction cost reached 450 million

「Did you have to pay so much money? 」

Roa is furrowing her brohen she heard the figure of 450 million

「Asuma Shokai’s policy is to cherish their lifeIt’s cheap if you can buy lives with 450 ret it at all」

Since he already signed the contract, it’s too late to pull back now

「Security is perfect nowBy the way, did you gather information about that Sword Saint Serius? 」

「No……I asked Eugene-san and the other Congressht he was famous since he called himself a Sword SaintWell, that person is not a Kirishi+an because he’s speaking in the Roe with an accentMaybe that’s why he’s not famous here in Kirishi+a」

Haruto only now realized that Serius talked in the Ro of Speech』, so it’s hard to notice if the other party is speaking in a foreign language

「I feel like since he’s so strong, he shouldn’t be anonymousWhy don’t I ask the Governor? Since I made that donation, it’s better to ask the source」

「I understandI’ll get you an appointment then」

Roa said that and headed to the Governor’s office

＿＿＿＿＿＿

「I’ for three days」

「No, I’m not in a rush」

Recently, the Governor’s Office seems busy so it took him three days before he could meet Governor Gray

「So, what can I do for you? 」

「There’s someone I’d like you to look intoA man that is known as the Sword Saint SeriusDo you know him? 」

「I know of himHe’s rather a celebrity in RomanoDidn’t you know? 」

Governor Gray repliedHe seemed to be surprised at the fact that I don’t know

「Sword Saint Serius is a mercenary from the Snowy FieldsHe served the traitor Pentax, and he was called a Sword Saint based on his skills with the sword」

「A person from the Snowy Fields? Roa, do you know? 」

Haruto asked Roa as sitting next to him

「E~tto, they lived in snowy fields! 」

In short, she doesn’t seeaze to Governor Gray

「There’s no need to ask since I also don’t knowThey have never been in the history of the WestAnyway, they live in a permanently frozen barren land further North of the Northern lands we know ofYou won’t know unless you’re an anthropologist」

Governor Gray laughed

「What is a perround is icy all the time」

Roa leaned forwardGovernor Gray nods

「That’s rightI have never seen it, but it seehout the year」

Roa rounded her eyesKirishi+a is relatively mild, and snow rarely fallsFor Roa who has never been outside of Kirishi+a, she cannot iine earth enclosed with ice all year round

「According to anthropologists, it is said that they were originally a roup who lived in the Western part of Romano and GalliaHowever, due to the pressure from the Romanos and Gallians, they escaped to the North and the EastThose who escaped to the North became the Snowpeople, and it seems that those who escaped to the East became the Desert peopleSo they have excellent physical abilities like the desert people」

In other words, the snow people have the『Blessing of Battle』like the desert peopleIt’s no wonder that he has that enorth

「Did he also participates in the civil hen he served Prince Pentax? Is he wanted? 」

Those ere involved in the previous civil anted and killed on sightIf Serius is wanted, the story will be quickHe can just report it to the Governor here and let them eliminate him

「No, he did not participate in the last revoltHe refused and said that he has no reason to do soEven if he’s strong, he’s a mercenary after allEven if he served Pentax, it’s only a relationshi+p of uiltyThat’s why he’s not Wanted」

Unfortunately, he doesn’t appear to be wanted

「If there’s no cause……that’s awesome! 」

Roa has shi+ning eyes

「It’s only a rumorThere’s also a rumor that he’s just a miser」

Governor Gray shrugged

「By the ould you ask? 」

Hearing Governor GrayHaruto and Roa explain their circumstances

「I seeThat must have been hardSerius seems to love moneyI’ve heard that he would always attach hiotiation, it ht be okay」

「Is that so? Thank you」

Haruto bowed to Governor Gray

＿＿＿＿＿

＿＿＿＿＿

「So, what do you want to do? 」

「I’d like to pull hi if that’s the caseI think we can otiation since we have the upper hand……but we need to otiation」

Haruto recalls the strength of SeriusThey did not win even with five desert people on their sideIt’s not even worth considering

「Just think about it, won’t you? At least in Claris, he won’t be able to do anything」

Roa shrugged

「You’re rightWe’re planning to establish the Shufelt branch in the New YearBecause then ill move in earnestI’d like to make contact before then」

Sales froo to Shufelt in the New Year as plannedDuring New Year, they’ll have to secure some customersBecause Shufelt is the enemy’s territory, it’s quite different from the other cities, so they have to be careful

「I’ve been working hard with GrandpaHe’s already getting old」

「Is that so……that person will get old too huh? 」

「He’s still healthyHe said that he can’t die until he sees his great granchild」

Roa smiles a littleHaruto kissed Roa’s lips

＿＿＿＿

「In the end, it beca to be fine? 」

「Aahh, please leave it to meI will do it without fail」

Leon fully smiledLeon is familiar with Saer since he knew the situation in Shufelt

「Is it okay? You’ll be living with the Albertini fao to an innAnd o home early」

Roa said anxiously

「That’s tooinfluence, it’s still a Shokai after allI won’t do anything overtPlease leave it to me! 」

Leon proudly lifts his chestHe looked confidentBut on the contrary, Haruto and Roa became even more concerned

After two months, Leon asked for help

＿＿＿＿＿

「It’s a big deficitHow did you get these numbers? 」

Roa asked LeonLeon ansith a sigh

「The dae to our reputation from the rumors is terrible……Asuma Shokai uses slaves to esWhat’s worse is that the soap isolives」

「That’s pure accusationThe treates to workers are higher than usualI also haven’t used any rotten things as materials」

Haruto furrowed his browsIt’s very uncoes

「How did such rue? 」

「Sa thatIt seems that there are quite a few stakeholders involvedAnd the issue isn’t whether the ru as someone believes it」

Many people like this kind of rumorPeople ould treat ru that there’s no silant even if they don’t believe

「It hurts that Sa soap」
