The next day, I asked the old man of Cosette about the war at the bar "Gluck" next to "Barjan's Tool Shop". Even though it's a bar in a deserted shopping street, information is gathered in places where people gather. The time is after noon, so it's reserved before the store opens.
As expected by Jean Jean, the desert country Sundi seems to have completely blocked the "Red Road". The place is about 30 kilometers east of "Toktor, the city of free borders". If the caravan cannot pass, the general public cannot pass. It seems to be a little strange, and it seems that distribution is already being adversely affected in various places.
Is Sundi highly self-sufficient?
Because it is a desert country, I feel that supplies are dependent on imports ... If you blockade it for too long, you're likely to strangle your economy. I can't say anything about that area unless I purchase information. It's a different world, and there will be parts that the common sense of the earth does not understand.
By the way, the shocking thing was that the time when the red road was closed was the day after I and Ariana got on the carriage. This means that if you leave Pocha, Pescatore, and the bandits and head east, you can return to the Kingdom of Greifner. What a mess.
However, at that time, magical power and physical strength were the limits.
A large number of monsters appeared from the east side.
It would have been impossible to escape while holding Ariana and defeating the monsters. Well, I think that was the best. In the first place, I shouldn't have been kidnapped if I traced the origin. I'm stupid. I'm a genius because I won't make a mistake next time, but I was stupid at that time.
Well, it can't be helped to say that it's over.
Sundi arrived at Toktor, immediately annihilated the monsters, and proceeded eastward to set a blockade.
The old man of Cosette just shook his head when asked about how long the war would end, which was the most worrisome thing. It may be a month or a year.
No, no, a year or so too long!
I was super optimistic. The span is higher than expected.
I'm not very good at historical things. When I recall the memory of my best friend Tanaka talking fluently ... I feel like he said that there was a war that he had fought for about ten years ... He loved history. I wonder if he's saying hehehe without me around this time.
Even so, is it ten years or stupid? How much do you like war?
I felt like I couldn't go home soon.
This is bad. Both magazines and mirrors will be thrown out halfway.
I was talking to Joe about new products and new designs, and to Black Brian, erotic photographers, Usax, and Claris about magazine ideas and agendas, so I think it's okay if I'm absent for some time.
However, I'm still worried about adjusting the details and distinguishing from competitors. Perhaps a large company has already placed an order for clothes and will imitate the design in its own way. If you don't take an overwhelming offensive at this stage, you may lose.
Commoditization always happens.
The key is how much everyone can be attached to the "brand".
Mirrors expanded stores even if they borrowed money.
Kobashigawa Shokai collaborates with Millers to strengthen the monopoly of new design fabric distribution.
In addition, tie up exclusive employment with a sewing craftsman.
Furthermore, the second issue of the magazine was launched.
I wanted to order autumn and winter items, discover models, educate employees at new stores, and so on! I was planning to make a corner of Ichibancho a shopping mall! And every time a new work was released, the length of the women's skirt was shortened little by little, and finally the miniskirt and shorts became popular. My "It doesn't matter if it gets shorter little by little. Ah, Kobashigawa-san is crazy, so Strategy "is ahhhhhhhhh! Damn oh oh!
Come on! Door everywhere!
Scene ....
Ariana is so cute, she just shook her neck.
Mofumofumofumofu.
She was healed by her fox ears for the time being.
After all, there are two choices: wait for the war to end or return by another route.
Believe in everyone and do your best to do what you can do here.
Oh, I just said something really good. I'm a genius. Yeah.
Then, I apologized to Cosette who was helping the store yesterday.
"I'm sorry I suddenly yelled yesterday. It was so different from my fashionable image. Each person has their own values ... I've pushed my selfish image on you."
"It's okay, Elie-chan. She knows herself."
Cosette smiled with a smile.
Innocently laughing, she gave her viewer a sense of relief and healing. Oh, something is healed. It's weird clothes. It's soothing. It's weird clothes.
Today's cosette wears a skull, a rainbow cloth wrapped around her body, a shoulder rest labeled Amulet, and her knee-length socks with apple embroidery.
This is a new frontier. Fashion frontier!
"But I said something terrible when I met him for the first time. Could you borrow something?"
"Okay, that's right."
"It's okay to borrow from me."
"Don't be in trouble. Can't you say nothing?"
"No, I can't help myself."
"Hmm. Even if you say so ..."
"Are you in trouble lately?"
Cosette closes her eyes and bends her neck. She had a short braid hanging down.
For a moment she looked like she had come up with something, but she immediately shook her head.
"I don't have it right now. It's really good, Elie-chan."
"Love consultation ... is that okay?"
"This is love ?!"
She was so upset that Cosette was about to fall off her chair.
Hahaan, after all.
She seems to have both feelings because of her joy when she reunited with Jean yesterday.
Ariana, who was silent, shook her bushy fox's tail vigorously and leaned forward with no expression. When she looks closely, her eyes are laughing a little. She looked at me and rushed ahead, so she nodded powerfully.
"Do you like anyone?"
"Eh, eh, eh, uh ..."
A cosette that goes back and forth to ask for help. Every time she shakes her head, the skull on her head shakes.
"Oh, that's right. I can't say anything important to the people I just met yesterday ..."
"Hmm? That's why ..."
"It's good. I don't mean to say important feelings unnecessarily."
"I wonder if that's true?"
"that's right"
Empathize and affirm Cosette's words.
"But you know…"
The human mind is mysterious, and it is easier to resonate with being affirmed and then denied than being denied from the beginning.
He tells his subordinates many times and doesn't know if he used this simple technique for his business partners.
"Speaking can be easier. We're like travelers returning as soon as the blockade is lifted. So talking doesn't diminish your important feelings, but rather put it into words. I think that will make it more reliable. "
"I do not think so?"
"Yes. Sometimes we can work together."
"cooperate…"
Ariana leans forward further. She seems to like love bana because she is apt.
"Actually--"
As her beloved maiden Cosette cut her weir, she began to talk about how she liked Jean. It's a machine gun. Gradually, I and Ariana also got on board, and I put in a hand like, hey, well ... Girls talk that continues endlessly.
I'm enjoying this ... Is the forward stress too high for Usax?

―――― Chillin
It seems that it was already time for the bar to open.
The person who entered the store was an old man in a dirty robe. He has a white beard, shabby gray hair, and he has a red face, probably because he is drinking. When I glanced at this and sat down at the counter, I just said "strong sake" to the old man in Cosette.
Cosette's Jean Jean Talk explodes regardless of the customer.
I and Ariana heard the history from childhood to adulthood.
Jean Jean is a really nice guy.
From a cosette's point of view, it seems to be reflected in a super handsome guy.
It seems that he helped Cosette many times and always watched over him. When he said he was going to be an adventurer, he felt like he was pushed out of the valley, and he was so happy that he came back to heaven. No, "I'm happy!" ".
No, it's the world when you go up to heaven.
Other than that, I heard the story of being attacked by the desert monster Desert Scorpion, the story of Jean-Jean running a sick person to the clinic, and the story of practicing magic and swords more than anyone else. Endlessly.
The main subject was cut out at a good break.
"So when do you confess?"
"--- !?"
Cosette fell off the chair this time without any metaphor.
The skull headgear fell to the floor, turned over, and spun around.
"You won't be surprised like that."
"Because Elie-chan ... Jean doesn't like me ..."
Cosette picked up the skull and put it on firmly.
"why?"
"that is..."
"What can I say?"
I fell in love with his cosette.
"you know what..."
Cosette said in a faint voice, he saw his clothes and shut up.
After that, he didn't tell me the rest, no matter how calming he was.
What happened between the two?
It seems that you should not force yourself into it any more.
I read the air and stopped asking questions.
