"Okay, if it's hard to get, let's get it from somewhere else."

"Yeah?　What do you mean, Mr. Alphonse?"

　Rising prices.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The price of necessities of life keeps rising, little by little, but faster than ever before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something had to be done about it, but it was difficult.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no way to control the price of things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But just because you can't control it well doesn't mean you can't do something about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not yet.

　Laura has been listening to the public and has noticed it early.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The prices of things are going up, but not to the point where we are in serious trouble yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's do what we can do now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, my idea was a simple one that I would buy things from other sources that might be hard to get in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, it is what anyone would think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if this will work or not, but I think it is worth doing.

Where do you mean by "out there"?　Do you mean other countries?"

"Of course. If the prices of daily necessities are too high and difficult to obtain in the Orient, you can buy them from other countries."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's true, but where do you buy it from?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's leave the coordination to Mr. Banagher. He is probably the most knowledgeable. He always says that this Orient has always dealt well with neighboring countries. I'm sure he has connections with the leaders of other countries.

"But nowadays, I think that the situation is different from before, as the Orientals sometimes fight with other countries by force. Senator Banerjee used to lament about that."

"Well, then, you can change the other party. If you are guaranteed a profit, go to the merchant who deals in the goods. If there is a profit to be made, they will at least listen to you.

"Real profit?　Oh, I think I might have figured it out. Do you mean that you are going to sell magical tools again?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Correct. Laura is right, we will provide magical tools to other countries. We have the Orient Magicians' Union now. We have no problem securing the magical tools that are our merchandise, and we can decide where to sell them. If we can get magical tools that are reputed to be absolutely profitable in exchange for necessities of life, I'm sure there will be people who are willing to trade with us.

　If they are in short supply in the Orient, we will get them from elsewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, I thought of invading other countries and taking what I lacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, that seemed to be inefficient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The things we need for our daily life are not so expensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be impossible to grab heavy and bulky items after the battle and bring them back to the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the most, it would be possible only to the neighboring countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if it is a trade, it might be possible even with small countries that are not our neighbors.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This country has always maintained its ties with various small countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Banagher is now holed up in his workshop, working on magic tools, but his original job is diplomacy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must have connections with many countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can trace those connections and make deals with them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can trade with them using the booming price of magical tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In exchange for the magical tools made by the Orient Magicians' Guild and guaranteed to be of a certain quality, we will trade you the items you need.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This will solve the shortage of goods and will be an opportunity for people from other countries to purchase magic tools which are hard to obtain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The price of the magical items may be lower than the current market price.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the buyer is able to make a profit by selling the magical items immediately, the other party will be more willing to buy the items we are looking for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Um, ......, Alphonse, you believe that the market price of magical tools will eventually go down, right?　Wouldn't that have a tremendous impact on other countries?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I suppose so. Well, but don't we have to worry about that?　And that's a problem in the country there."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it will have an impact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The market for magical tools is centered in the Orient, and some people from other countries are also getting involved after hearing about the profits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the scope is not that wide yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because only those who are discerning, well-informed, and sensitive to profitable stories have gotten involved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they later found out about the profitable market for magic tools, the prices were too high and they were reluctant to touch them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The market has already become a market where a considerable amount of money can be made even if one-tenth of the price is paid in installments.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If such hard-to-afford magic tools can be bought at a discount, there will be people who are willing to trade as much as they can for the necessities of life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, there may be price hikes for various goods just like in the Orient now, but I don't care.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We might as well sign up for futures contracts this time too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can get the right to purchase up to the next year's trade or so in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, we decided to pull Banagher out of the workshop and sell more magical tools to various parties in the sub-national groups.
