Wh-what did you say!!! All the goods stolen from the Rephilia Trade has disappeared you saaaaayy!!!? (Villain A)

Y-yes (?)

He was wondering why the senior clerk and the guards flew towards him first thing in the morning, and it turned out that they have something unbelievable to report . Upon hearing the report, the merchants face turned red and shouted at them .

What did the guards do!? And is this the work of the guys from Rephilia Trade? Are you saying that they taking what have been taken from them!? For the goods that have been taken from them to disappear at this timing, I cant think of anything else! (Villain A)

In response to the merchants shouts, the senior clerk replied fearfully .

A-about that, my lord What have disappeared are not only the goods taken from Rephilia Trade, but also all the goods in the warehouse, that is, all of the stock of our company . Not only the third warehouse where the stolen goods were stored, but all the goods in all of our warehouses (Senior Clerk)

(Villain A)

The merchant is not quietly fell silent . He seems to be trying to speak something, but his mouth just opened and closed, voiceless .

Hows the state over there? (Mitsuha)

Yes, it seems that they filed a damage report, but the goods that were taken from us were not written in the list of the damaged items (Rephilia)

Ahahaha, of course he cant write those (Mitsuha)

A few days later, I heard the situation from Rephilia at the office of Rephilia Trade, it was as expected .

Of course, the damages will be reported, and they may think that the Rephilia Trade is suspicious, but there is no evidence, and in the first place, they cant explain something like [We took the goods from the Rephilia Trade, so this must be they revenge!] to the police as the grounds that we are suspicious .

Therefore, it would be concluded that it was the work of the robbers who attacked us, and if the officials suspect that this is a case of serial robbery, then the investigation would be more severe . So, rather than the second case which has no evidence or testimony, the investigation would be concentrated on the first case, or I should say, on the culprit that attacked Rephilia Trade .

And of course, including the possibility that one of the suspects is someone from that company, there is no doubt that there will be intensive interrogation . And theres no way they can refuse if the official want to investigate their warehouses, or to interview their employees about the situation, once the officials called the [Investigation of damage and situation] card .

Refusing that is clearly unnatural and would lead them to suspicion . And if they persistently making alibi to refuse, all investigation would be focused on that company . Setting aside the senior members of the firm, I wonder if the apprentices or the clerks that served as goods carriers, and the thugs they hired would be able to withstand the severe interrogation without opening their mouth . I wonder if the amateurs in [That field] who dont get any kind of specialized education or training can withstand the cunning [Professional]s guided interrogation and intimidation .

This is not modern Japan . This is the world where human lives are cheap and human rights are as good as crap . This is the world where threats and tortures are natural .

The Yamano Viscount House and their home country . Rephilia Trade . How important are both of them . That can considerably change the severity of the investigation to some extent . Well, the rest is up to the countrys judiciary .

Then, early in the morning tomorrow, we will carry a large amount of our cargo to the warehouse of Rephilia Trade . At night, my men will carry and gather the goods at a vacant lot near the royal capital, from there, we will shuttle the goods to the warehouse using wagons with the flag of the Rephilia Trade and our Heraldic Flag . So that we can draw the attention of the citizen of the Royal Capital as much as possible (Mitsuha)

Yeah, by doing so, it will become the starting signal for the continuation of our trade activity, while showing off that Rephilia Trade doesnt budge even after attacked by robbers and has strong connection with Viscount Yamano . It will be much more effective than advertisement using posters or word-of-mouth .

If you can carry the goods up to that point, you should just let your troops parade through the royal capital and show the power of the Yamano Viscount House (Rephilia)

Well, I still dont want to disclose too much information, ahaha (Mitsuha)

Yeah, it is too high of a hurdle to transfer the territory folks here and have them walk around the capital . This is so that we can leave all the decision-making to Rephilia Trades hands .

Oh, just in case, lets borrow some youngsters from captain-sans place to guard the cargos . If theyre the member of Wolf Fang, it wont be a problem .

Today Ive repacked the recovered goods at the warehouse at Yamano territory . I separated the mixture from the adulterated goods using transfer . Yeah, I can also do something like that . How convenient, transfer ability .

Alright, lets go!

missy, is it over with just this? (Captain-san)

When I asked for 4-5 escorts, the members with lit eyes gathered around me in an instant . And captain-san chose four members and came with 5 people including himself

What about the enemy!? The demon!? The ogre!? The dragon!? (Captain-san)

Like I said, theres nothing of the sort!!

I told you, right? Just guard the cargos overnight!! (Mitsuha)

No, even if you said that, one would still expect something! This is the third time Im here after the dragons and the ogres subjugation, you see (Captain-san)

I dont care!

Somehow, theyre hyped for some reason, but I told them to [Guard the cargos overnight] at the beginning!

Eh, do I think its certain that I would be attacked for me to went as far as called the Wolf Fang?

No, like I said, I dont know, even if you complain about such selfish assumptions

Anyways, we safely passed through the night without any incident, and the transporters and guards that Rephilia prepared came with the wagons . Of course, along with Rephilia herself .

I instructed captain-san and the members not to say anything, hide the guns behind their body so that it couldnt be seen . And handed over the loads to Rephilia .

After that, half of the guards that Rephilia brought stays in the location and the other half escorts the wagons that go back and forth many times . The unloading at the warehouse is done by those over there, and the laborers that in charge of the loading stays here . Only the coachmen, half of the guards, and Rephilia herself that go back and forth with the wagons .

Rephilia has to get on the coachmans seat of the wagon for the publicity .

Well, all wagons are already quite conspicuous enough, as they have the mercantile flag of the Rephilia Trade and the territory flag of the Yamano Viscounty .

We chose the time to transport a large quantities of goods in the morning, when many people of the Royal Capital are outside .

The wagon that has been unloaded in front of the store returns to the depot to carry the next load .

Rephilia leaves her command of transport to her subordinates and stands in front of the store with her arms crossed, watching the loads coming one after another .

Thus, It was confirmed by the eyes of the people throughout the royal capital that a vast amount of merchandise [from Viscount Yamano] had arrived at the Rephilia Trade .

Even if the goods are lost, the Yamano Viscount House will immediately deliver a new replenishments .

Until the goods are sold and the transaction is completed, the ownership of the goods remain under the Yamano Viscount House, and that we will bear all the cost of the damages incurred during that time .

and the Yamano Viscount House never blamed the Rephilia Trade for that matter, all of our anger and pursuit will be directed to those who have maliciously attacked the Yamano Viscount House . Yeah, if someone were exposed that they were meddling with Rephilia Trade in any way .

It was fatal now that many nobles and large merchants, even the royals as well, were getting worked up to try to curry favor with Viscount Yamano .

Some rumors had already begun to spread among the nobility and merchants . that a stupid merchant dared to meddle with Rephilia Trade and Viscount Yamano .

Moreover, they used the worst means of armed robbery, the completely despicable heinous crime . In addition, in order to fool the eyes of the investigators, they perpetrated a farce, trying to pretend to be victims too .

Speaking of a merchant who is likely to do such a stupid thing . Playing a farce to pretend that they were the same victim as Rephilia Trade

Theres only the name of a certain merchant that would come to mind .

I want the product I purchased to be delivered immediately

I want you to return the money I paid the other day

I request an immediate repayment for the money that Ive loaned to you in full amount!

Could you wait a little longer for the payment

No one wants to ride a sinking ship .

Those who have not yet received the product they bought from that company .

Those who have not yet received the money of the product they sold to that company .

Those who are financing that company .

And those who have not yet been completed their payments to that company .

Everyone wants to make sure so that theyre not losing their goods, money, loans, etc .

And those who are in debt are hoping that if they postpone the repayment, the store would be crushed, and their debts can be forgotten .

All of them are fixed at the flow of the money and the goods . Right, they hasten the deadline and the amount flowing from that company to themselves .

And there was no product, no barrel of ale, and not even a grain of wheat in the warehouse of that company to be delivered to its business partner .

I wonder if theyre feeling strangled (Mitsuha)

Theyre strangled for sure (Rephilia)

Three girls enjoying the afternoon teatime gracefully .

What were that merchant thinking to provoke Mitsuha like that (Colette-chan)

Colette-chan wonders so, but it cant be helped .

After all, the people in this country dont know about [Himemiko of Thunder] .

not yet, for now
