“Well, what is that… .”
Armin’s supply officer said.
Elric’s answer to that was the same as before.
He had a bright face, as if he was saying something really obvious.
“Is there a problem? From our perspective, the most reasonable seller is not the Empire. Or can you meet the same conditions for Armin?”
There was no way it was possible.
Aside from everything else, Armin didn’t have as big a budget as the Empire.
Why is an empire an empire? Even beyond its large land mass, it is an empire because it is twice as superior to other countries in terms of power and wealth.
In the end, there was only one thing Armin’s supply officer could do.
“Well, that’s not crashing the market! This is setting a bad precedent! “Why don’t you know that making the purchasing party bear the distribution costs will be detrimental to Weibin in the long run?”
It was definitely something that could happen.
However, there was no one here who did not know that his words were full of flaws.
It was Polo who came forward.
“joy! It’s ridiculous to worry that the entire market will collapse with just one transaction here. In the first place, the competition to import wheat ended here. Besides, it’s a wartime situation right now. Because of this special nature, the empire made its decision. Let’s try this again next year! Who will buy the wheat for the estate?”
“Can’t you take into account that we will be at war next year too?!”
“Can you guarantee that the battlefield will be as static next year as it is now?”
“that… !”
There wasn’t.
The situation on the battlefield was reaching its peak with the fall of Chebor.
Most of those who could see the battlefield knew.
In half a year at most, more than half of the countries currently at war will have disappeared by then.
“Is the story over?”
In response to Elric’s question, Armin’s supply officer could not do anything other than tremble.
Something was definitely wrong.
The moment his thoughts began to grow, his eyes turned to Tyria.
“What do you think, madam? “Do you think this deal is right?!”
Clearly, that brash master said it with his own mouth.
The wife is the real power of this territory.
In that case, I decided that she was the only one I could hang on to… .
“… “If the head of the family decides to do so, I must follow it.”
She was answering with her eyes closed.
Armin’s supply officer opened his eyes with a red face.
The blood vessels in the whites of his eyes showed that his emotions were getting stronger.
“Hmm, the work was finished as soon as I arrived. “I wanted to get a little bit of the atmosphere of my countryside.”
Polo’s words were clearly mocking.
Elric’s attitude in response was also the same.
“The train will soon be cut off anyway. “Please stay overnight and leave.”
“Thank you for your favor. However, as a soldier of a country at war, it is not acceptable to pursue personal comfort. “I will leave on the last train.”
We talk a lot about giving and receiving.
It shouldn’t end like this, but there was nothing on the cards to change the situation.
Even Disha’s supply officer was sympathizing and showing signs of resignation.
“Hmm, there wasn’t enough information. This is our loss. The meal was delicious. “We’re leaving by the end of today.”
“Look!”
“Armin, let’s stop there.”
Rattle-
Armin’s supply officer trembled.
The appearance of Disha’s supply officer was very grim.

“Please be moderate in your rampage. Disha is a country of knights. “We value honor and are learning to surrender to victory and defeat as a true soldier.”
“I-I…” .”
“Remember. “This is the last time we will face each other like this and not draw our swords.”
What he said was indeed right.
Although the front lines are far apart, as the war intensifies, Armin and Disha eventually have to cross swords.
Even in such a situation, there is one reason why the two people do not take each other’s heads.
This is a foreign country, and as a representative of the country, you cannot come to another country and make a fuss.
“Then I guess it’s all sorted out.”
Even though the situation was spiraling out of control, there was nothing Armin’s supply officer could do.
I can’t help but scream inside.
It’s wrong.
In a one-sided transaction like this, if something goes wrong for a long time, there is no chance to correct it.
‘how… !’
How ugly would it be to be left alone between two supply officers who seem to be planning to leave today.
It goes beyond being ugly and becomes rude.
Considering diplomatic relations, it was already obvious that he could not do such a thing as Armin’s representative, so Armin’s supply officer lowered his head.
It was a complete defeat.
*
Looking at the backs of the three supply officers leaving, Elric let out a long breath.
‘I feel like I just want to hit his head.’
I really don’t like the back of the man’s head, as skinny as a scarecrow.
But going ahead with those feelings will only put Tyria in trouble.
So the solution they came up with was agitation.
He used Polo to twist the direction of the transaction and used Disha’s supply chain to turn that opinion into a flow. Of course, the process was carried out by Polo.
Anyway, 10% of the wheat was sent to Disha for such double work… The burden could not have been at the level of Portman’s estate.
The burden of external distribution costs will be borne by the empire.
“house owner.”
Tyria opened her mouth.
“Is this what the matriarch did?”
Elric’s eyes shook violently.
“Uh, um?”
I was naturally confused as to why the arrow suddenly came back this way.
Meanwhile, Tyria lowered her eyes and answered.
“I see.”
It was an attitude of understanding.
Elric felt his heart drop.
“W-what do you mean? I’m fine… .”
“I didn’t know there was a connection to the empire.”
Did you happen to overhear the conversation with Polo?
It was a moment when a sense of crisis enveloped my body.
“Didn’t you interact with people from the empire during your wandering life? “That’s the only way to explain their kindness.”
“ah… !”
“Armin’s supply officer didn’t seem to notice because he was embarrassed, but it seemed to me that the two of you were plotting a conspiracy. Sorry if it’s a mistake… .”
“Yes, that’s right! “In fact, when I visited the empire, I met a noble there!”
Cold sweat broke out behind Elric.
I never thought they would think of this like this, so I was glad I didn’t have to worry about coming up with an excuse.
What immediately comes to mind is the words of Elber Graham.
-There are times when those who believe in their own competence become buried in their assumptions. When a sudden or incomprehensible situation arises, we tie cause and effect using revealed clues to make it understandable. In that case, guesses are usually wrong. I also had the same experience.
Tyria’s competence led her into a trap.
Whatever it was, it was a good thing for Elric.
“I hope I have something to introduce next time.”
“Umm, yeah. “Shall we go in first?”
“I understand.”
Elric breathed a sigh of relief as Tyria turned to the mansion first.
‘This is the end.’
The crisis of being discovered was safely passed.
You won’t have to experience anything like this for a while.
As the tension goes away, your body becomes weak.
Elric patted his knee, which was especially sore today, and followed her into the mansion.

Polo returned to the capital of the Mahir Empire.
A city of steel and steam, a huge land that can be called the heart of this continent.
The majesty of the huge fortress makes the scenery of Wibin feel even more idyllic.
After immersing myself in such thoughts for a moment, Polo finally took out a note from his arms.
‘Will this really work?’
Polo swallowed dryly.
The note was a letter that Kasha had roughly scrawled on torn paper.
The place to deliver this letter is none other than the Graham family mansion.
The recipient was Elbers Graham.
Polo arrived at the Graham family mansion with doubts in his mind.
“What brought you here?”
“My name is Polo, the third son of Count Notem. “I have come to meet Lord Elbers.”
“Do you have any prior arrangements?”
“I don’t have one, but this is really… “It’s urgent.”
Is it still not possible?
It was a moment of thought.
“Um, please follow me. Since you don’t have any plans today, I’ll ask you a question first.”
Polo was a little surprised that they could meet so easily.
Even though he was an illegitimate child, wasn’t Elbus Graham one of the top three prospects in the system?
The only way to meet him like that is to come and ask for something.
It almost felt like all of this was a joke between Kasha and Elvers Graham.
It was right after.
“A guest? “That too in Notem Street?”
A sound came out of the closed living room.
“Hmm… Well, that’s good. It was a good thing since I was free at the same time. “Please let me in.”
Her beautiful voice was the same as five years ago.
Polo suddenly remembered what happened at the banquet five years ago and flinched.
Squeak-
The door opened.
“Notem Yeongsi… “No, supply officer.”
Beyond the door was a man in a wheelchair.
Because of the backlight coming from the window, I couldn’t see my facial features clearly.
Just dazzling platinum hair and golden eyes that look like they were made of melted gold.
And only the androgynous silhouette cluttered Polo’s vision.
“What brought you all the way to Ye?”
Polo swallowed dryly.
“It’s been a while. It’s not my difference… “I was asked to write a letter.”
That’s how Kasha’s letter was delivered to Elbers Graham.
Polo, who wanted to quickly finish his business and return, was unable to figure out many things.
In his nervousness, he heard one thing.
“Khaha… !”
It was a sound of laughter.
“Whatever this guy was doing, he was enjoying a vacation in a corner like this.”
Polo raised his head and could see.
A mischievous smile, just like that of a young boy, was hanging over the mouth of a mysterious handsome man.
