I am Sadda of the Venetian Chamber of Commerce, and I am the head of the Venetian Chamber of Commerce. I've just taken over from my father, so my leadership skills are not as good as my father's. This time, the prince of Migga was trying to help the beastmen.
This time, the prince of the Migga Kingdom was trying to help the beastmen, so I decided to cooperate with him. At first, I wondered what he was thinking, but as I looked into it, I gradually came to understand his thinking.
That prince had come to think that he really wanted to help the beastmen for some reason.
-When I learned that the trigger was the divine girl that Landono Stoffer ...... Lan had been chasing, I thought it was a good opportunity. So I made contact with her and decided to go to her with the prince's men.
To tell the truth, I was stopped by many people, but I really wanted to go to the girl, Kamiko. I was also thinking that it would be easier for the Chamber of Commerce if I had a connection with a girl who was a goddess, but more than anything else I wanted to see Ran,......, whom I had not seen for three years.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're getting yourself into.
I was going to go after Ran, who had gone into the forest alone after a girl who might be a godchild.
To be honest, the probability of Ran being alive is probably small. To begin with, I don't even know if the girl I decided to chase is still alive or not. Nevertheless, the beastmen chose to go to the godchild. Even if there was a thought that they might die.
I also ...... wanted to see Ran again, even if I might die. So I decided to go after him. With the beastmen.
Yes, let's go. Let's go.
Chairman, everything is ready.
I am not the only one who is going from the Venetian Chamber of Commerce to the Godchild. The Venetian merchants will also follow us.
It was difficult to prepare for the secret action so that neither the kingdom of Migga nor the kingdom of Fairytorov would know about it, but we were able to enter the forest. For the time being, the affairs of the Venetian Chamber of Commerce are in the hands of those I trust in my absence. It took me three years to complete the preparations in case I did not return. It is only now that I am prepared to move successfully between the two kingdoms that I am able to pursue Ran.
Ran, who is two years older than me and should be twenty-three by now. I wonder how he would be spending his time if he were still alive. Or rather, I am not asking myself how I would be spending my time if I were still alive, but rather, I am assuming that I am still alive because I am somehow convinced that I am still alive, and I want to believe so.
A vast expanse of forest that the country has not touched.
There are many monsters living there, and dangerous plants grow wild. Nature is a threat. You never know what will happen in untouched nature.
To be honest, I am not good at roughing it.
I like thinking. I like working with numbers. To be honest, I prefer to stay at home and think without moving. If I had not known that Ran was there, I would not have gone into the woods, where nature is abundant.
I am not physically strong, so I might be considered a liability among those who are trying to get to the place where this godchild is. If I were not a member of the Chamber of Commerce and had no track record of providing them with supplies and other support, I feel as if they would have abandoned me long ago. However, even if I were in such a position, there is a good chance that the beastmen would abandon me.
But, well, I wanted to go after Lan even if there was such a risk.
That is why I have been preparing for three years to go after Lan.
I want to meet Ran partly because we are ...... friends, but also because I have a liking for him. I don't think Ran is aware of any of this, and if she is alive and by the side of her godchild, she may not even remember me. If Ran were alive today and by the side of the godchild, he might not even remember me.
I wonder if the child is in the forest or at the end of the unimaginable forest. Is Ran next to him? I wonder how Ran is spending her life after three years. I wonder if Ran remembers me, even though I consider her a friend. I wonder if Ran will remember me, even though I consider him a friend. I have a lot of worries about what if he forgets about me after running off to chase after Kamiko and all the other interesting things that are happening in the world.
There is no guarantee that I will meet him yet, but if I do, all I can think about is what I want to say.
What would I say to Ran if I did see her? Whenever I could spare a moment, I would think about such things. However, the forest is not without danger, and there were times when I was attacked by demons.
Some people were injured, and I realized that this forest was dangerous. I don't know if I will really meet Ran at the end of this dangerous journey. But, believing in the possibility that I would see him, I continued on my way.
---The merchant, I chase after him.
(The merchant wants to see me, and that's why I keep going in spite of the danger.)
