"Mister Alphonse, may I have a word with you, that I may?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Banagher?　Is something wrong?"

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

　I was dealing with a lot of things when Banagher came to me.

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

　He said he had something to report.

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

　But there was impatience on his face.

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

　I wondered what was wrong.

"Actually, something bad may happen, that it may. I may have to leave the Orient for a while, that I may have to leave the Orient for a while.

"Is it bad?　Are you going somewhere?"

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

Yes, that it is. This winter and next year, I will be moving to explore the state of the Church of Soma, that I will.

"The Church of Soma?　Are you saying that there is something going on in the Church?

"We don't know yet, that we don't know yet. So we will find out, that we will. But I think you need to send other people to look into the mage countries and the empire as well, that I do. There is a possibility that a major power may be involved in this small group of nations, that it may be."

　Bannerge is apparently headed for the Soma countries.

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

　However, he strongly tells me that it is important to keep an eye not only on the Church countries but also on other big countries.

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

　Apparently, there is a possibility that these countries may intervene in some way against this small group of nations.

"...... Is this about the shortage of coins?"

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

"That's right, Mister Alphonse. You know that many of these small countries use coins issued by the three great powers, don't you?　And now the coins of all three countries are decreasing in number. Each country is reacting to this, that they are.

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

　I see.

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

　Maybe things are more serious than we thought.

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

　Ai and I have created a whole new coinage called the "en".

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

　The en is an unrealized money issued against silver, not a coin.

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

　But money is still money.

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

　I have a thought about this money that we created by ourselves.

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

　It was a question of how much money would flow out of the country.

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

　For example, if all the money we made goes to foreign countries, we would be in trouble.

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

　We would not be able to spend our own money in our own country due to the shortage of domestic money.

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

　Therefore, it is better to keep the issued ems from being taken out of the country as much as possible.

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

　At least, especially in the current situation where silver holdings are small and not too many Ene can be issued.

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

　But it would be the same for the major powers.

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

　It is inevitable to some extent that their own money will flow out of the country.

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

　That is why coins of those countries have been circulated and used even in small countries.

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

　However, a big problem has arisen.

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

　That is, the money that has flowed out of the country has physically disappeared.

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

　Well, it seems that the cause is the Orient.

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

　The iron coins that had existed until then were recovered and converted into silver through alchemy by Elle and her friends.

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

　In other words, the iron coins issued by the major powers disappeared.

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

　And silver coins disappeared next.

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

　This is the result of our collecting silver coins even at the cost of gold coins.

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

　The silver coins are never returned to the market because they are kept on hand as collateral for the issue of the En.

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

　In other words, silver coins are becoming non-existent.

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

　Thus, the small countries were short of currency, and the collapse in the price of magic tools left them in debt, but it seems that some of them tried to replenish the lost currency.

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

　Replenishment, in other words, means getting it from the outside.

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

　That is, importing coins from large countries.

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

　I don't know what they are paying to get the lost coins, but it seems that a certain amount of money is flowing in.

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

　It means that the money of the big countries is going to be transferred to a group of smaller countries.

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

　This means that the coins in the big countries will be even less than they are now.

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

　Coins cannot be increased immediately.

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

　This is the same for all countries.

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

　The reason is that coins are made of gold, silver, or other metals, with the right combination, using anti-counterfeiting technology, and with the prestige of the nation.

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

　No country would stand idly by and watch the loss of these metals from within its borders.

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

　Why is so much money being lost in a small group of countries?

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

　It is natural to wonder.

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

　And they will not leave it alone.

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

　Surely, the first thing they will do is to investigate this issue thoroughly.

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

　Find out why the currencies of the major powers are declining and then work to solve the problem.

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

　Banerji says that the most affected countries are the Soma countries.

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

　Therefore, since the Church is the one that pays most attention to the small nations among the major powers, they will move to find out what they are doing.

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

　I wonder how the Church will move.

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

　Considering the size of their economy, the amount of coins circulating in a small group of countries does not seem to be that large.

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

　Even if we were to investigate the cause of the problem, I doubt that we would be able to find it out immediately.

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

　It would take some time to find out, since the shortage of coins occurred simultaneously in various small countries.

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

　But it will eventually lead us to the Orient.

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

　It can't be helped.

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

　Lassen, I think.

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

　Let's see if we can't use the guy who caused the coin shortage to buy us some time.

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

　Now, it would be troublesome if a major power intervened in a small group of nations, so I decided to see if I could buy us some time by preparing a scapegoat.
