I wouldn't have thought of that when I first came to Yodamari-tei. I heard that the ingredients are not free.
But I can't say such reckless things as "don't make" to Jeanette or "don't eat to Bertina.
It's like telling a frog to fly.
I have no time to waste my time making unsatisfactory demands.
"I'm sorry, I'm late," Wait... I don't think so."
Estella runs into the Yodamari-tei and smiles bitterly at the inside of the restaurant.
I seem to have grasped the situation at a glance.
"Did you write a letter?"
"Yes. I'm on my way to report it."
"At this hour?"
"Ricardo and his uncle have their gatekeepers on their feet." You can do it enough to receive a letter. You'll read it tomorrow, though.
"No, not there. You and this waiter have only women, don't you think? Isn't it dangerous?"
I meant to say something perfectly right, but Estella reveals her innocent face.
What's wrong with you?
Although the security in the 42 wards has improved, the other wards are far away, and the grouse must still be wandering about.
"Yasilo cares about our waiter, doesn't he?"
"Well, I know a lot of people,"
I'm on my way to Estella's house.
"Thank you. I'll thank you frankly."
"No, it's not like thank you..."
"But all our servants have mastered the knifing of Natalia,"
"What, that dreary militant group.
"And there's not much danger, as we've sent them in groups of three. "Well, it's not absolutely safe, so I'm sorry."
"More importantly, it's the crisis of the 42 wards," Estella said with a caring smile.
"Hmm... I'll tell you later." "Yasilo was worried about me~"
"Don't do it, or make people look like good men." I'm afraid I'll have a hard time later."
"'Tailored' ... you know,"
"...don't grin." Take care of yourself."
"That's true," ...hehehehew."
by all means
Isn't this guy lacking a sense of crisis?
Do you think you're not going to die yet?
No, I'm not going to die.
In the worst case, I want you to be aware that such a thing is as important as possible.
"But isn't there something bright about it? Change the light... Oh, Wendy?"
"... I'm sorry, lord,"
In the corner of the room Wendy crumpled and bowed.
Wow, it's a bully of the lord's people.
"Poor me,"
"That's not what I meant!? No, Wendy!"
"Yes... I understand... that I am to blame for the light."
"Not bad! Wendy's light is a gentle one!"
"Well, Wendy, come a little further in the middle." It's dark around here."
"Don't use it as a light!"
Wendy is shining as hard as ever.
Theron is also dwarfed next to it. There's no presence in Wendy's back.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting,"
"I'm back now,"
Imelda and Delia come in together.
"I've brought Mr. Becko,"
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting,"
Once Imelda had come to the Yodamari-tei, she went out with Delia on her guard, saying, "I'll call you Mr. Becko!"
"You didn't have to call me to Becko,"
"That's not the case! Mr. Becko is a necessary man."
"Mr. Imelda... I trust you so much... I'm so impressed!"
"Now, Mr. Becko," This is fried takoyaki!"
"Are you asking me to make a food sample right now? That's why I called you!"
"I'll leave the matter to Mr. Jiro. I hope Mr. Becko won't do anything unnecessary."
"You're going to be so badly!"It was so.
Jeanette and Bertina weren't the only ones who liked the new food...and Imelda.
as a collector of food samples rather than eating.
Well, this time it's like reporting the current situation and organizing the situation, so it doesn't matter who's here or not.
"Anyway, are you sure you have all the best members?"
That said, I haven't decided who I'm going to tell anyone in particular.
There are all the people who want to be there and tell us about the situation.
"Well, let me explain what happened today."
"Well, shall I do it?"
"Oh, I'll leave it to you,"
"Then--"
Each looks at Estella with a serious expression, even though they hold takoyaki in one hand.
Estella stands up and calmly explains what happened today.
the reaction at the feast and the promise with Donis
And the story of Gerracy and the BU guys that appeared at the end.
"That's why I can't win over the lord of the BU any more to my side."
After a long talk, Jeanette offers Estella iced tea.
Estella sits down, accepting "thank you."
Nobody says anything for a while.
Everyone must be sorting out the facts they just heard.
"Wait a minute, will you?"
In the quieter dining room, Regina was the first to speak.
I'm holding my glasses with my other hand, with my little hand.
"What?"
`It's so dazzling to see it at this angle, isn't it, Wendy said.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm going to the edge.
"Can't you say anything but what you don't care about?"
Wendy tries to move to the back seat, but makes them stay there as a joke.
"Come to think of it, Natalia said there was a way to send a message to a man far away with the light of fire."
"What!? Are you going to use my light to send a message to anyone, lord?"
"Oh, no... if I can't send you a letter, I wonder if that's the way to do it."Oh, I'm kidding. I'
Sure, there are ways to hide the light of the flame according to the law, but with a Morse signal or a flag signal.
However, to use it, the other party must know how to decode it.
Sending Morse signals to strangers doesn't make sense.
"... even if I can't send you a letter, if Delia screams out loud... I can hear you."
"Yes. If you ask me, I'll hear a bad guy."
"Huh? Should I do it? That's a good idea.
"Did you listen to it? You don't have to do it".
Magda's plan is rejected for lack of secrecy.
"It's hard not to be able to connect..."
"It's true that if we can't have a meeting, there's a high possibility that we'll sometimes have a disagreement... that's fatal."
Estella agrees with Norma.
To work with someone to turn something upside down, you need to stay in touch, make arrangements, and follow the scenario in production.
Be thoroughly prepared, and when you do it's time to do it. It is essential to break the deadlock.
"What about the lord who went to see you today? Didn't you say anything when you were about to say goodbye?"
Estella answers Neferry's questions simply.
"I couldn't tell you anything. But, 'I have a duty to protect the people of my ward.'"
"Say, Estella. Is that a declaration to abandon the 42nd leg?"
"No, Paula. "I can't give priority to the forty-two wards."
"Not together," Why, though he is a lord, he stinks of sting!"
an angry paula
Estella soothes her, but Paula's hostility is unlikely to subside for a while.
"Think the other way around,"
Imelda says, tilting the cup of tea gracefully.
"If Mr. Estella says that he will sacrifice the citizens of the vaxxes to protect other districts..."
"... well, that's...."
`Do you think, "You hollow milk!"'
"You don't think so!? You know, boys!?"
Estella was the only one who denied it in full force.
and the others????
"'I was thinking in my heart that depending on the circumstances...'
"Why are you being so selfish, Jillo? Can you not speak for everyone!"
Even if I don't say so, everyone thinks so.
`But I'm sure Mr. Tracey will do what suits us!'
Loretta stands up and presents a convenient interpretation for me.
clench one's fist to emphasize
"Tracy and Nene are friends who worked together at the Yodamari-tei! Even for a short time of two days, the bonds they worked with will not disappear!"
"No, I understand your desire to think so, but..."
"And Tracy was crazy about Estella! She would definitely help me if she said, 'Help me, my honey!'"
"I won't tell you, that's it said.
"The ""absolutely fine"" Loretta brings is weak ground..."
Imelda refutes such weak grounds.
"If you join the Forty-two wards in front of the other lords without any particular significance, Tracy McCurry's twenty-seven wards will be driven out of the BU."
"Then we can work again at the Yangtari-tei!"
"What will you do with your people?"
"Ah... oh... well... with some effort..."
Irresponsible!?
He's so irresponsible about his plan!
"It is true that 'Mr. Estella's Operation Ughun' will not save the people of his domain."
"It's a malicious name, Loretta..."
"...lack of milk in Estella...lack of strength."
"You're saying it wrongly, Magda!"Ignoring Estella, Magda points to Jeanette.
"...you can rely on the manager,"
"What? Me?"
"... a word from the manager... "If you don't obey, you'll be in the foot."
"I won't tell you!"
"...or if you put your foot on all the people in the domain, you can take over."
"I won't, neither the footpots nor the hijackers!"
There seems to be a lot of discussion about what to do to keep the other person on your side.
That won't do. Do you want me to calm you down?
"I'll tell you, if Tracy and Donnis do what we want, they won't win the majority vote after all right.
At my suggestion, the whole place is as silent as a bolt.
There's no point in discussing how to attract Tracey here.
What's more frightening is that Tracy doesn't know how to work.
"Tracy, obviously -- despite the disadvantages of the twenty-seven wards, he's willing to accept the disadvantages for Estella -- that's more troubling."
"If you give me a blatant disadvantage, I want you to be honest with me -- I'm afraid I'm out of my reckoning." I understand."
"Oh, yes,"
Sometimes it's more troublesome to have a bad sense of duty.
It can be ruined if you push yourself out when you want to be quiet.
I mean, that's more common.
"So I want Tracy and Donis to judge right or wrong on their own terms." It's easier to guide them."
"Oppa, I'm going to manipulate the lords of other wards from behind..."
"...the ruler of the shadows,"
`It's not such a pomp!'
It's troublesome to know who controls the other wards.
I'll just give you a little bit of guidance in my favor.
For example...
"Loretta, I'll give you one of the takoyaki that I nibbled at, or the one that I didn't nibble at. Which is better?"
`You'd better not bite it!'
"Well, then, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Huh!? You'll feed me!"
put takoyaki in an open Loretta mouth
Close your mouth and chew... right after that Loretta got a rooster.
"It's spicy!"
"Oh, in the pretty takoyaki, I used to put it in the mustard."
"What are you doing!"
In this way, if you're an easy-to-handle partner, you can have your own way.
"Paula and Norma must be worried, so I'll follow you."
"'Neferry, what do you mean?'"
Give a message to the unmarked messenger...?
It's not a very good strategy. Estella told me the reason.
"When people from the outer circumference meet the lords, they stand out, and just doing such 'suspicious acts' causes trouble for Tracy and others now."
"Is that the case?"
"That's the way it is, I'm afraid,"
"The aristocrats are more gloomy and tacky than the Nephells think."
Imelda's words, himself an aristocrat, silenced the Neferries with the greatest persuasion.
"So you're blocked in all directions?"
Delia says grumpily, holding a doughnut.
I guess Delia hates this kind of tangled feeling.
But this way of doing things works, obscenely.
"Well, I suppose we can only leave our luck to Heaven,"
Regina looks at me, saying, "What do you mean?"
It was a very provocative stare, as if to ask, "What kind of solution are you going to hide?"
It can't be helped. I'll teach you.
"I'll see if I can write to Tracy for now."
When you say that, Estella wrinkles her eyebrows easily.
"If you give it to me, I think you'll get it, but when you realize that you've given it to me, you'll be removed from the lord's meeting?"
"That's why you don't get caught."
"How? I'm sure you'll find out where you've passed."
The BUs are probably keeping an eye on letters from outside and people coming and going.
No matter where I go, I get suspicious when I enter BU. In the worst case, you could be seen inside under the guise of a checkpoint. It is possible to do so by placing it in a state of emergency and requiring a joint check in the name of a feudal lord."You can avoid inspections if you even enter 'BU'. They'll keep an eye on the way in and out, but they'll be indifferent to the movement within the BU."
"That's why it's hard to get into that 'BU'..."
"There may be a way out, but I don't think there's a way out,"
As I say, I point in the direction of New Town.
It was Norma who was quick to sense it, patting Loretta on the shoulder.
Loretta, who was tapped on the shoulder, exclaims, "Oh!
Estella has been used quite a bit, but she has completely forgotten its existence.
"If I use the No. 1 train, I'll be able to get through the eye of surveillance, right?"
"Oh! I see!"
Estella finally remembers its existence and takes action.
It can deliver letters directly to Marul's house.
Moreover, the building is located at a location where you can't find it outside unless you enter the premises.
If you told me to take this into consideration and make a little effort to build a place, that Obasan would be a big deal.
"Anyway, let's ask Marul for help."
"Well, Mr. Tracy and Mr. Marle have known each other more than before... and it's not unnatural for Mr. Tracy to go to Mr. Erin's sister for advice under these circumstances."
"Even if it's difficult to call, I think I can get a letter from Maul. Gueracy's man seems to think of Marle as 'a powerless nobleman who has been driven into the backcountry.'"
Well, I'm going to write a letter to confirm that.
"More importantly, I want information about the rest of the BU."
"For example?"
"Location and main industries. Then, the power relationship with neighboring districts and economic power. And the degree of dependence on 'BU'
"Do you mean 'independence rate' when you say dependency?"
"Well, I'd like to know which wards will be in trouble and which wards will be able to get through when 'BU' inclines."
"Well, if it's a location, I'll have a map."
Theron rose to his feet and laid out the map of All Bloom on the table in front of us.
Everyone peeps in.
...Wendy. It's so bright, can you move away for a little?
On the map, 42 wards are located in the lower right corner.
To the left is the Thirty Wards, but there is a high cliff between them.
The same applies to the twenty-nine wards, which lie on the north side of the forty-two wards.
"If you look at it again, 'BU' really has a small territory."
"Well, I guess the only way to survive in this narrow space was to form a community and collect tolls."
the outer boundaries of the 30th to 42nd wards BUs that surround the inside of themselves.
It seems that the outer circumference has a large territory so that if a demon invades over the outer wall, it can be exterminated before reaching the center.
In other words, the outer perimeter is like a buffer zone that doesn't matter how much damage it causes.
In that sense, BU plays a role like a checkpoint.
Like a beast, like a grouper, like a poor people... like a frog.
It is the BU's role to sort out those 'beats that aristocrats don't want to put in their territory.
The map says such a thing vividly.
And because of its imposed role, BU is not nurturing industry.
All the trouble here is caused by the aristocrats in the center.
"Is the 30th Street Gate the biggest?"
"Well, more than 60 percent of the people from other countries use the Thirty Ward gates."
The street gate in the 30th leg was the first gate I went through.
I'm sure there was a great line at that time, too.
"And a little under forty percent use the Thirty-Fifth Ward Gate."
"I went through that gate when we came to town."
Regina's hometown, Baocriere, seems to be a place to come by boat.
Come to think of it, did you go to the Thirty-Fifth Ward to get the sparks?
"...this is the one who left Magda's father and mother."
"... I see,"
Magda pointing to the upper left, the 42nd and 35th districts diagonally on the map.
He looked a little lonely, so he kept his ears soft without saying anything.
"…………."
I don't want you to dig into the story now, but... Yeah, I hope you'll find it someday.
"Well, I don't know very well,"
Neferries finish their doughnuts and peek into the map.
"There's a gate around here, isn't there?"
The outer perimeter is marked with symbols indicating the street gates.
The street gates of the 42 wards are not mentioned. It must be an old map.
"There is a small harbor in the Thirty-seventh Ward,"
In the upper right corner of the map, Delia points to 37 wards in line symmetry.
Come to think of it, did you say there are two ports?
It seems that the thirty‐five wards are larger and more lively.
"There is a street-gate in the Thirty-eighth Ward,"
Paula's point to the map is also marked with a street gate.
"The Thirty-eighth Avenue Gate is the gate which the Woodman's Guild sometimes uses." Some trees live only near the sea."
"...I sometimes use hunting guilds."
Neither of them seems to be used very frequently.
Indeed, because of the Woodman's Guild, it was said that it would be expensive to bring in wood from the gates outside of the Forty Ward, and that it would only be used when it was really necessary.
And to the left of the map, opposite to the 42 wards, there is a street gate on the west.
"It's in the thirty-third leg,"
"That's the gate to the mine," There's a big mine three days away by carriage."
I've never heard of it.
When I looked at Estella, she explained, "All Bloom won't take the ore." Well, I see.
Once again, I realize that there are more things I don't know.
Geographically speaking, I still don't remember exactly.
It is not exactly divided by squares like hogan-shi, so there are some differences...
To paraphrase All Bloom in squares, from the left to the top, the 35th, the 36th, and the 37th.
the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st wards in order of right side from the top
32 wards, 33 wards, and 34 wards in order of left side from bottom.
The arrangement is that…
the thirty‐four and thirty‐six wards next to the thirty‐five wards In the 38th district next to the 37th district, where there is a small harbor, marine products are mainly processed. The 36 wards adjacent to both are a mecca for processed marine products.The 32nd and 31st wards adjacent to the 24th wards are mainly made of processed soybeans.
The 33 wards process ore, and dependence on other wards seems to be low.
In the thirty-ninth to forty-two wards, blocked by the cliffs, there was no particular industry, and it was long out of fashion, and it managed to survive with the benefit of the Forty Woodman Guild and the Forty-first Hunting Guild.
After careful consideration, the 42 wards have come back to this point, haven't they?
The location is terrible, isn't it?
Then, the winner of the 30th leg.
Needless to say, it's a well‐known toll‐tax powerhouse. Well, it's not a country, it's a ward.
and to compare "BU" to a square as well????
There are twenty-five wards on the upper left corner, 26 wards on the right, and 27 wards on the corner connecting the upper and upper sides. The corner section bends in the shape of a 'ku.'
On the right, there are 28 wards under 27 wards and 29 wards at the corner connecting the right and the bottom.
There are twenty‐three wards on the left side of the twenty‐nine wards at the bottom, and twenty‐four wards on the left side. On top of that is the twenty-fifth leg, which is the roundabout.
Each section of 'BU' is long and narrow. And many wards are bordered by multiple wards.
Twenty‐three wards and twenty‐nine wards benefit greatly from the thirty wards, which have the largest gates.
The twenty-five wards benefit from the sea.
The 27 wards are used by almost all residents of the outer peripheral wards from the 42nd to the 38th wards, and by the people under the cliff when they go to the center.
Passage taxes are strong in that area, with 24 districts of soybeans far behind, and 28 districts of adzuki beans and 26 districts of cacao seem to be following by a considerable margin.
Still, there is not enough land for crops to support themselves.
Maybe it was a bad influence of expanding the outer peripheral area in order to minimize the number of wards that would be destroyed in the event of an emergency... Or did he want to take even a little larger territory in Chuo Ward?
In any case, the layout and area of BUs are not very comfortable to live in.
"It's an arrangement designed to make the center more comfortable to live in,"
"Well... I see,"
I don't think about the outer perimeter or BU.
It's all about building a city for the central royals.
That's why small things cause friction.
Even so, the royals and aristocrats probably don't know, "Get rid of the underlings."
"The rise of the Forty-two wards, which were supposed to be the poorest wards there?"
"It's no wonder they're in a hurry -- maybe they're defending too much... yeah, they must have been in a hurry."
If the 42nd leg is empowered and the outer leg is pulled by it, BU will be under considerable pressure from both inside and outside.
"If the power balance is lost, the difference between profitable districts and lossable districts is going to be tremendous. That's enough to break down the community."
"Well, if you had barely kept it in such a distorted balance, you would."
He's a guy sooner or later.
Is it only unfortunate that the 42 wards were made a victim of... or can you back down with such words?
If you're going to lose your balance over such a small thing, you'd better lose your balance.
It's just how to break it down...
"What would happen if I said, 'Let's make a road with the Thirty Ward?'"?"
"The BU will start an all-out war."
As she spoke, Estella traced the "BU" on the map -- the twenty-third and twenty-ninth wards.
"This is a district that is enriched by the tolls from the thirtieth district." And BU is a community that lives by distributing the toll. Any act that steals the profits will surely be destroyed."
In order for people in the outer peripheral district to obtain goods from outside, they either need to bring goods to the outer peripheral district via 23/29 wards, or people in the outer peripheral district need to buy goods via 27 wards.
In both cases, BUs can earn tolls.
If we could make a way out there, it would be a matter of life and death, let alone obstruction of business.
"But if you don't do anything, you'll come to crush it, will you?"
"...are you going to go to war?"
The atmosphere in the dining room is strained by the dangerous words.
No, I don't have any.
So don't look like you're going to do it, Delia, Norma, Magda.
But you should look a little pungent, Becko. with a funny look
"It's not my intention to do rough things," But I think it's an effective way to shake it."
"Don't shake the sleeping lion too much to bite him."
get such advice
be aware of
I know, but...I can't say "OK."
"I can't boil it down any longer now,"
"Well, I'm in such a hurry that I can't put my thoughts together."
It seemed to be the same except for me and Estella, and no one said anything.
"Let's talk again with Lucia."
"Yes, and I'll have to ask Marul's opinion.
In the end, we will discuss it again tomorrow.
Neighbors declined to participate in the next round of talks, saying, "We can't help, can we?"
"Instead, if there's anything I can do to help you," he said, leaving me a reliable comment.
He also said, "I'm glad you told me so much."
After seeing them off in a hurry --"
"Self. I don't want to be cherished."
Regina left with such words.
He might have been a little worried. It was a rare place where there were a lot of people. I guess it's because I was involved in the fireworks.
For the time being, it was closed, and only the employees remained at the Yodamari-tei.
Leaving Loretta with the magda that sleep has reached its peak, I'll stay in the dining room alone.
Well, I don't know what to start with.
"It's a difficult situation, isn't it?
Hot tea is placed in front of you.
Jeanette was smiling to calm me down, with her eyebrows folded.
I'm sure he's been working hard since this morning.
For the time being, I'll take care of my worries and tea.
"Well, if you say it's hard, it's hard. It's as frustrating as if my strength had been blocked."
"Are you all right?"
"Well... I'll talk to Estella again tomorrow." When Natalia comes back, we'll know what's going on in Lucia."
It's only after that if you're all right.
However, we have no choice but to make it all right.
"No, not really,"
I put my tray on the table, put my hand on my knees, and lean forward as if looking into my face.
Big eyes stare at me.
"Mr. Jiro,"
He chews his lips tightly and looks serious.
Anxiety oozes out.
... by all means."That's all right,"
Come to think of it, Jeanette had a separate carriage home.
I'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about.
"I'm not going to do anything else,"
"...yes,"
This time I pick Jeanette by the cheek, as if everyone had done in the carriage.
"Don't worry too much,"
When I said that to the anxious Jeanette, she picked me by the cheek as if to imitate me.
"Then don't make me worry too much,"
get a pinch on one's
... well, just like that.
What's this?
"Peanut butter, coffee or cacao with bean paste sauce".
"He?"
"If you build a friendly relationship with BU, you'll get more money."
think for a moment and relax one's cheeks happily
"Well, I'm sure you'll make a fortune."
"Then I'll do it well,"
"Yes, I'll cheer for you too."
Then, after a few moments of mumbling, we went back to the room.
My cheeks tingled a little, but... well, I didn't feel bad.
