Marina was the first to speak amid the silence around her.

"After all, it was your business... Solgey's business. The Zorgay trade wants to move its base out of the state of Levulina. Is that all right?"

　When Marina breaks her silence, Gimekara nods with an expression of relief.

"Yes, as I said earlier, this country is already sinking. If that's the case, I can't pretend to stay there."
"And? What exactly do you want?"
"Hey, Marina,"

　Ray grumbles at Marina's words, seemingly predicated on accepting Gimekara's suggestion.
　It wasn't a very strong attitude to ask... but it was still not interesting for Ray to attract the presence of Solge.

"It's all right. I'm not going to do anything unconditionally. And that's what we need to do, right? We can't judge it ourselves."

　So Marina stops talking and turns to Gimekara and opens her mouth with a smile.

"But if you were to go somewhere other than Gilm, you would have to go through us, and then through Dusker, and you would have a lot of trouble?"
"Not at all!"

　Immediately, Gimekara says.
　I didn't think about it, but it's almost like a conditional reflex.

"If we could set up a business headquarters in Gilmoo, it would be a great help for us! But can we... really do that easily?"
"Oh, you seem to have got something wrong. All I can do is let Dusker know about you... let the lord of Guilm know? From there, it depends on your negotiations. --but since it's been so far, I think it's going to be quite a tough negotiation."
"I don't care!"
"Well, then..."

　Both Gimekara and Marina are smiling.
　But to Ray, not to mention Gimekara, the smile on Marina's face looked as if she were watching a trap.

"First of all, can you provide us with a horse and a carriage for all of us, and clothes and food?" Then we can arrange a meeting with Dusker."
"...what?"

　I don't know what you said.
　Gimekara looks at Marina like that.
　But Marina, who looked at her, smiled softly, asking, "What's the matter with Gimekara? Is there anything wrong with her?"
　For Gimekara's part, he wanted to have a meeting with Dusker here, if possible.
　In fact, the communication with Dusker ended a little while ago, so if we were to have another conversation with Dusker using a pair of oaves, wouldn't it just bother them?
　Unless it really matters, we can't believe in Solgey and Gimekara at all, given their current situation.

"Why? Didn't you understand what Marina meant, or ... did you want to have a meeting with Mr. Dusker, and would you say yes?"
"That's..."

　Ray's words stifled Gimekara.
　He understood that he was excited about the possibility of relocating the headquarters of the business to Gilm.
　But... nevertheless, I can't accept Marina's demands.

"But I think the conditions from there are a little bit harsh." If you could guarantee me that I would accept it in guillem, I would give you a little money to talk to Mr. Dusker."
"So why don't you arrange a meeting with Dusker on your own?"

　Marina simply says so.
　I won't make concessions on the terms. If you are dissatisfied with the conditions you offer, we can do our best.
　That stinks... Gimekara is at a loss for words again.
　In fact, it's almost impossible for us to bring this negotiation together on our own.
　No, it might be possible if it takes time, but we don't have the time now.
　In order to shorten the time as little as possible, we still need the cooperation of the Rays.

"Would it be possible for you to do something about the conditions? As you know, our business is large in the country of Lavrellina, but I still think it would be difficult to fulfill your request completely."
"So why don't you arrange a meeting with Dusker on your own?"

　Marina returns exactly the same words as a few seconds ago.
　There is little friendly atmosphere in the gaze of Gimekara.
　It doesn't mean that there is no such thing at all, but they probably acknowledge some of the gimekara that first came into contact with them in an organizational sense.

"As I said before, the Solge Company was doing business with Jaya... it was a fact that we had a partnership." Do you think that the people who are with us can forgive us on simple terms?"

　If you say so, I can't argue with you.
　No, I can think of a lot of objections, but even if I say them now, I realize that I probably won't be able to hear them.
　The gaze from the marina on me was harsh.
　Viehera, who was watching the conversation so far, opens her mouth.

"Well, I think Marina's instructions are too easy, if I were you, to put more stringent conditions on them."
"Yes,"

　Bune muttered in agreement with Vihela's words.
　Elena nodded silently but softly and agreed to it.
　Gimekara, who is exposed to these women's eyes, is the only one here who looks to Ray of the same s*x for help.
　But Ray, who directly takes part in the battle in Mejogo and knows what Jaya is doing, looks back at Gimekara's gaze.
　He was so soft-mannered that he was entrusted with contacting the Reys... with such a strong gaze that Gimekara, who was known as one of the most capable men in the Solgeh trade, could not speak.

"I'm sorry, but if you leave it to me, it'll be much worse than Marina." If you don't mind, can we do it?"
"No, no... That's all right,"

　Gimekara shakes her head in a flurry, wondering if she understood the remark was a joke.
　Even in the current situation, it is a strict condition, but I thought I would never achieve it if I was given a more severe condition.

"Well... what do you do? If you're going to swallow Marina's suggestion, you'd better take action at once." We won't be here forever, either. I'll leave here to-morrow, and I'll be away from Rossi almost every day."
"That's... I know,"

　Gimekara knows that the Reys are here today only for the purpose of camp.
　I also knew about the information that I was heading for Gilm because I was buying it from Emma.
　and though I knew that the sooner I could fulfill the conditions which Marina had told me, it was not entirely up to me to prepare a carriage for a thousand men and horses, tails, food, and clothes to pull it.
　That being the case, I couldn't answer it right now, whether I accept it or refuse it.

"Well, I'm sorry, but can I take that matter home? Of course, I'll do my best to deal with it.""Well, then I'll leave it to you." But don't you forget that the more time you take, the worse the feeling we have for you?"

　Extremely speaking, after Ray and his friends got everything they needed in the villages and towns they stopped by on their journey, Gimekara... no, it's pointless to hear that the Zorgay Chamber has fulfilled their demands.
　There is no point in receiving more than they need, if they don't need to use it.
　In such a case, even if the Sorge Trading Company met Marina's terms, it would not be recognized.
　Of course, Gimekara understands that much.
　That's why we had to get out of here in a hurry and get the chairman and executives to understand the conditions of the marina as soon as possible.

"Oh, I see," Well... I have to hurry and let you know the terms, so I'll excuse myself. I'm sorry to have stayed so late."

　Tell Marina... and others, and bow deeply, and Gimekara runs away.
　Elena opens her mouth, waiting for Gimekara to disappear in the moonlight.

"What do you think will happen?"

　It was obvious without thinking what the simple question meant.
　What does Marina think of the conditions... and Solgeh?

"The response will depend on what the people at the top of the Solgeh business think about the current situation. If you simply want to take this opportunity to advance to Gilm, it's likely that they'll say no if it doesn't pay. But if you have a firm understanding of the current situation in Levreina..."

　You don't have to tell me, do you?
　As if to say so, Marina looks at those around her.
　In fact, for Ray and his colleagues, it would be better if the Zorgay Chamber accepted Marina's suggestion.
　Every time I go to the village, I avoid the hassle of negotiating with village and city representatives to buy a large number of horse-drawn cars, horses, tails, food, clothes...
　For Dusker, who has been requesting this case, if he can get help from the Zorgay business, he will not have to pay a considerable amount of money for one of the Ray's.
　Of course, having received such assistance, I would have to make some adjustments to the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce, but... if I were to imitate the way I had been in the State of Lavrellina, the answer would be negative.
　In the first place, the Sorge trade may have had considerable power in the country of Lavrellina, but that is only because it is a small country of Lavrellina.
　It was one of the best in terms of the degree of development among the colonial powers... the only remote guillem in the kingdom of Milliana, and it could not have been imitated in the same way.

"Well, after all, there's nothing we can do about it now. "Huh?"

　A muttered Ray suddenly turned his gaze toward the sandboat.
　Then a woman emerged from the belly of the sandboat... from the open space to put her luggage in.

"Sula, what's the matter?"

　He leads the Resistance... and wonders at the appearance of Sula, who would effectively lead the group if the Rays left the group.

"What? Huh? I was on deck a while ago, and I felt like there was someone else besides the Rey's... was it just imagination?"

　Ray is at a loss as to how to explain it, apparently seeing Gimekara coming.

(From Sula's point of view, I don't think she has a very good impression of Gimekara's... Sorge's business. Then, to explain the matter, it would be a lot of trouble... oh, but in case we weren't there, should I explain it properly?)

　After thinking about when they are not around, Ray explains to Sula about the incident.
　But, of course... and, as Ray had expected, Sula, who had been described about the Zolgay trade, looked displeased.

"Do you hate the Solgee trade?"
"It's a little difficult to answer Vichela's question. Of course, if you like it or not, I hate it once and for all, but to be honest, it's true that I would have had a lot of trouble without Solge. --for better or worse, the Sorge Chamber is a merchant."
"Is it like Jaya was doing business with him?"
"Yes,"
"Well, then, I wonder if I can look forward to any escort that might... ...have."

　A strong bodyguard might give you a good time.
　Vichela, who loves fighting, smiles in anticipation.
　However, many adventurers in Lavrellina are basically weak.
　It's at least as weak as the adventurer in Gilm.

(and Vihela must know that, too.)

　I was wondering what would happen to Ray after tomorrow... just a little bit excited.
