154 Episode 47: Encounters and Unexpected Reunions (1/2)

”I welcome you first, Your Royal Highness the King of Anisphere. Thank you very much for turning my Belier Chamber of Commerce down. Furthermore, it is a tribute to our Chamber of Commerce that it was given the honour of being the first to enter the City of Magic. Introduce yourself again, my name is Henry Berrier. This time, we are going to keep the Chamber of Commerce branch of the Magic City. Please let me know.”

”Welcome to the City of Magic. I think the first Chamber of Commerce attraction is full of opportunities and hardships, but I want you to do your best. Everyone is hungry for products and entertainment.”

”Yes, from daily enrichment to entertainment. We promise you a satisfactory range of products.”

He named himself Henry Berrier, is he in a place like mid thirties? Scorched tea hair, yomogi-colored eyes, slightly skinny stature. The face is calm, somewhere adorable and approachable.

The hand I shook my hand with was on a scab, the hand of someone who was keen to work. That's raising my liking. Then enthusiasm is swinging like a flame in my eyes. He seemed like someone who looked calm and had a hot side.

The Berrier Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce chosen by Emperor Lukeheim to visit at the recent Magic Birthday Festival. Wide range of products and good quality. At that point, it was the first Chamber of Commerce to attract, but it was decided that it was the last push to achieve an outstanding track record at the Magic Birthday Festival.

Now the Belier Chamber of Commerce will be named even as a chamber of commerce for the royal family. At the same time that you can expect a lot, that's how much attention you get. I think the pressure is enormous.

However, I would like to keep an eye on the future as there are styles that this Henry is likely to do without difficulty.

”Sister King Anisphere, is there anything we would like?

”That's right...... I wonder if you want information”

”Ho. Asked for information, not products.”

Henry hammers as he strokes his jaw. I snort and overlap words too.

”Wouldn't there be some kind of demon that the Chamber of Commerce might have trouble with? Something that might affect distribution.”

”Hmm. Well... as I'm sure His Royal Highness King Anisphere knows, we haven't identified any imminent major threats since the Fenrir raid on the King's capital.”

”Oh.”

”This and perhaps the influence of the Knights and Adventurers being able to take their magic props. Because more than usual, we have been able to make mistakes and develop new ideas.”

I had naturally also heard that demonic props were now in the hands of the Knights and Adventurers and that they were more powerful in thinning and pioneering than before.

Is that an effect, most of which are smaller these days, even with stampede? It's a good thing to say that it's a peaceful time, but haven't you witnessed any demons that seem to have demonic stones?

”If you want information about demons, you must still be an Adventurer's Guild. Since we will receive reports of damage and discovery, I think we may have discovered it earlier. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to ask you.”

”Yeah, I was going to ask the Adventurer Guild branch after this. If the Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to be in trouble, that's fine.”

”Yes.... well, I don't know if I can satisfy Her Royal Highness King Anisphere with the information, but I'm just a little concerned”

”What do you care?

I leaned my neck against Henry, who turned away from a calm expression and gave me a strange look.

”It's not like this is causing a lot of damage... you know how the development of the southeastern region, which was unexplored, has flourished lately?

”Yeah, sure.”

In order to obtain spiritual stones with increased demand, the exploration of mining sites is in a hurry in the Kingdom of Palletia. That's where they put their eyes on the southeastern territories.

From the Sirlatelia of the Wang capital, to the west lies the border with the Aylene Empire, to the north stands a group of mountains not treading on the forefathers, at the foot of which stands the Black Forest, which is also a major mining site.

And to the east, the mountains continue, dripping tails from the northern mountain range, with deep forests like black forests at the foot.

Compared to the Black Forest, however, there was also a distance from the Wang capital, and there was a lot of demonic damage, a territory that could only be defended thoroughly. From what I've heard, Viscount Persimon territory, Charne's home, also exists in its eastern position.

The southeast, even deeper in the east, is an undisclosed land, called the border.... It is also here that Al-Kun was executed.

So there is also the perception that the western side of the Kingdom of Palettia flourishes and the eastern side is obsolete. The flow is changing these days, too. Because that's what pioneering is all about.

”So, what's wrong with that?

”Maybe it's because it's still an undisclosed land, but they also say that there are many monsters of rare species like they've never seen before. We had a business partner who cared about that, that's all.”

”... Huh?

A rare demon. Well, the environment may be different in the north and east, and it's no surprise there's a difference.

”If you want to know more, I was wondering if that's what you should hear in the Adventurers Guild.”

”Thanks, I'll take a look.”

”Yes, not just the product, but the information will be drilled to your satisfaction.”

Floating with a brilliant sales smile, Henry offered a token of his gratitude.

After Henry and I broke up, the next thing we knew we were headed for was a branch of the Adventurer's Guild. Looks like things have already been loaded, and people are in a hurry to unload.

When I tried to speak to someone close to me to get the person in charge, I found the face I saw and I turned my eyes round.

”That, Farna?

”Ah, Master Anis! Thank you for taking the time to step in!

Farna notices me too and turns back to me with a grin.

He's long, but Farna has often bent his back out of his weak personality, but today's impression was very different.

The peach hair, which was usually unwrought and flushed, was tied and wrapped, and the ju eyes, whose fright had always appeared, were full of power.

”Why are you here? Could it be...”

”Yes! I will be working in this Adventurer Branch in the future! Hehe, from now on, thank you as Branch Manager!

”Yeah eh!? Farna is the branch manager!?”

Surprisingly, I open my eyes and raise my bare voice. That Farna is the Branch Manager!?
