Chapter 8 – The First Collision (Part 1)

“Why are you following us?” (Yashi+ro)

“I' Ginette-chan” (Estella)

Estella was following Yashi+ro and Ginette who had just left the church

It's her fault that I only had a cold breakfast This girl, she's like a plague

{… and I also want to monitor your action} (Estella)

Estella whispered such words into Yashi+ro's ear

“Your face is too close… and don't talk to ood!” (Yashi+ro)

“You're really honest” (Estella)

Estella looked at Yashi+ro's face with an amazed expression

Because if I see up a show, though

I can't be careless around her because she seeely enough, she didn't touch the subject again after that and she also talked to me nor I atch her actions carefully for the tiain, she's not soht, Yashi+ro-san!” (Ginette)

Ginette alking in front of Yashi+ro as pulling the cart, stopped walking and turned around

“The sea fish we ate this , I received it froive me more fish!+” (Yashi+ro)

“Can't you show a little gratitude to me at least?” (Estella)

That's stupid The sea fish is delicious thanks to the sea There's no reason I should feel grateful to you

“Speaking of which, how does this city get benefit froht that fish, she would knohy the sea fish is more expensive I'm interested in where the tax is put

“It's from the entry tax” (Estella)

“Thatin the fish, correct?” (Yashi+ro)

“Yes Fish and the people” (Estella)

Estella told the information Yashi+ro wanted to hear, and even supplemented it

Even the residents seeate It's an odious syste the entrance fee for the amusement park not only from the customers, but also from the staffs ork there In other words, they can'tmoney (entrance fee)

“The 35th District is the closest to the sea and their entry tax is higher” (Estella)

“Then, why not go in froate?” (Yashi+ro)

There should be ate in the 30th District that I used to enter this city

The 35th District is the closest to the sea, which means even if they put a heavy tax on fish, many fisherher there But if they use the gate far from the sea, they should be able to save the tax on fish

“I've never thought about that…” (Estella)

Estella nodded with adate with the lowest entry tax, even after taking the traveled distance into calculation, the price of sea fish on the ht be much cheaper” (Estella)

Because Estella said so with sparkling eyes, Yashi+ro decided to deny it once and for all

“No, that won't be the case!” (Yashi+ro)

It's a human nature to take as much profit as they could Because if the competitors show up, the market price will fall

“I think everyone will be happy if they can get sea fish cheaply” (Ginette)

“The fisher business to please people They're doing it to prosper themselves” (Yashi+ro)

“But if the costumers are happy… I would be happy too…” (Ginette)

You're a rare creature! If it were ed

“What I wanted to say is that if you buy sea fish before crossing the gate, you ht be able to make a profit” (Yashi+ro)

The sea fish sold in the city has been subjected to entry tax, thus their price is higher But if you buy sea fish outside and then bring theate with the lowest entry tax, they will be ood idea if the people are getting taxed too

“You're aht at Yashi+ro's eyes

Stop it! I' your chest You're going topenny pincher” (Estella)

“Call it economical!” (Yashi+ro)

Who is a penny pincher? I just hate wasting money Those aste money are fools after all

However, I hope that sea food will eventually be available at Hidamari-tei I want to make sure there will be no unnecessary expenses at that time I wonder if it's better to catch the fish , a factor that raises the price of sea fish” (Estella)

When Yashi+ro was thinking about self-fishi+ng, Estella broughtcosts so said that, Estella took sole and snake emblem

“This is the lord's permit” (Estella)

“Do you need perht Frouild and the lord of the district you live in” (Estella)

No matter hoide the sea is, if everyone is allowed to catch the fish freely, it will adversely affect the ecosyste their own interest under the principle of protecting the rights of the fishermen

For exa to the guild to sell the pepper The guild and the lords are the ones who guarantee their identity in this city

Taking Forced Translation Magic into account… The church is taking a country role, district lords are their local governuilds are the companies

There are the absolute laws of the country (Church's coovernment (Lord's authorities), and the companies have their corporate rules (Guild rules) In addition, noto the guild will be bound by the guild rules

Take the case where people who live in Tokyo, Chiba, and Saitama work for the same company as an example They are employees of the same company, tied to the same rules, enjoy the same benefits, but the local tax they need to pay will be different In terms of the system, it seems that there's no difference

”So, is that the emblem of the 42nd District's lord?” (Yashi+ro)

“Yes If you live in the 42nd District, you will see it from time to time It's an emblem that is always included in contracts and permits” (Estella)

”Are there any other permits?” (Yashi+ro)

“You'll need a permit to do one-time transaction or to open a store There are asthe roadside required to live in this city” (Estella)

“It doesn't seeh” (Yashi+ro)

“You should be careful with your words, Mr Traveler!” (Estella)

Estella pointed her index finger at Yashi+ro's nose and strengthened her speech

“It's a felony to misuse the emblem of the lord Either die by the curse of Spirit God or die by the human's punishment… it's one of those two choices!” (Estella)

“… I learned I'll be careful” (Yashi+ro)

An ignorant traveler's naïve reht have called me ‘Mr Traveler' under such consideration

Is it felony to ery is also a felony in japan If you do not iery of official documents and currencies is a felony in every world However…

“Can you show me the permit?” (Yashi+ro)

“You can take it if you want This is a permit that has already expired after all” (Estella)

There's a big “revocation” word stale-use perh, it's good thing that the emblem isn't stained by ink Thanks to that, I can see the emblem until its finest detail Yup, I can easily duplicate it

It's safe as long as I don't abuse it, and there's no lose in having it for the case of eency

Yashi+ro nodded and put the permit into his pocket

“Oh!?” (Ginette)

After leaving the church and walking for about five minutes, Ginette suddenly raised her voice Besides the vast field, two ether with…” (Ginette)

“That's assunto frouild” (Estella)

Mormatt — a man with crocodile face who Yashi+ro talked with thisHis opponent was a well-dressedon The two of the a trouble…” (Ginette)

Ginette uttered such words with an uneasy expression

Instead of the two of them, for me it looks like only Mormatt who has a problem That ant in front of Mor on!” (Estella)

“I agree” (Ginette)

Ginette consented to Estella's suggestion Together with Yashi+ro, the three of them headed to the scene

“I couldn't accept it!” (Mormatt)

“No matter what you say, it's already decided” (assunto)

“E-Excuse me!” (Ginette)

When Ginette called out, they stopped their argument and turned around Mormatt aardly averted his eyes while on the other side, assunto slightly lowered his head and greeted Ginette with a relaxed expression

“Oh, if it isn't Hidamari-tei Owner I'm always indebted to you” (assunto)

Does this etable suppliers in Hida a trouble” (Ginette)
