62 61. Man'S Choice
In the office, Ivano was sitting on the couch wearing a blue jacket.
Across the street, Gabriella sits, staring at the man with his blue eyes.
"Ivano, do you want to hear what you're going to do?
"Excuse me, more than a commercial guild, I have acted as guarantor of the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce"
What Gabriella asked was Ivano's standing and words during the meeting.
Originally he should have to consider the commercial guild first, he spoke with priority to the interests of the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce and even made a proposal to the commercial guild.
"To the Commercial Guild, we want the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce to have the right to determine the highest priority of the place of sale"
This is where the biggest impact will be in the future, more than the amount.
To empower the Chamber of Commerce, the seller's supreme decision power becomes more important than anything else.
The moment I made that decision, I was speaking not as an guilder, but with a Rossetti Chamber of Commerce gaze.
"Thank you for taking care of me for so long, I'm sorry. Deputy guild leader, no, Mr. Gabriella, let me quit my commercial guild."
Ivano stood up and bowed his head deeply.
And don't keep your head up, wait for the woman to say it.
"... I thought so. Though it was faster than I thought. Give me your head."
Gabriella was not surprised.
When Ivano came into the room, I already knew.
This man, though hot, has fastened all the buttons in front of his jacket and even tied it to his collar.
"... were you expecting it after all? Is that why you left me near Carlo and Darya?
"Yes. I want to make it clear whether I want to set up a chamber of commerce, enter a chamber of commerce, or remain in the guild"
"I've been looking out for you, this guild, for sixteen years. I've been working here and I've been meaning to end up here."
"You'll throw that away, won't you? Rossetti Chamber of Commerce, no, for Dahlia"
"It's not for Mr. Darya, it's for yourself. I knew the Chamber of Commerce liked doing business better than the Alliance."
Ivano was laughing more sunny than he'd ever seen.
To Gabriella, that was just a little.
"Before you quit us, why don't you ask Darya if she'll hire you?
"That wouldn't be fair. Let me write my retirement papers on this occasion."
"Don't you want an explanation for your wife?
"I've never been complained about at work. It's just," Go where you think. "
"You're a good wife. Then write here now."
Get the pen and the retirement process paperwork out of your desk and hand it to Ivano.
The man wrote up sarcastically, without ever wandering off.
Upon receiving the document, Gabriella nodded and put it intact in a piece of the drawer.
"That's it, I'll keep it."
"Deposit, is it?
"In case they say no, come back. I'll work you back out. Oh, well... you should go to Lady Wolframe first. Because I don't think Darya would say no if you recommended me that way."
"That, on the contrary, hasn't become more difficult?
Ivano asks with a bitter smile.
It seemed tougher to go and get a recommendation from the nobleman and Knights Wolframe than to go and sell to Darya.
"Talk to each other and clear it up. You just have to make sure it's any guy already. As long as we're at the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce, we'll be friends for a long time. And I won't let you quit until next month's tightening, and I have a takeover. The Rossetti Chamber of Commerce will also have a higher profit margin in the guild, so I'll miss your concurrent job"
"... I'm really, really sorry. Thank you for your help."
"I don't like untouched men. Go now before Darya returns."
Ivano stood up and bowed his head deeply, leaving the room early enough.
After the door closed and the signs disappeared completely, Gabriella leaned deeply on the back of the couch, leaving her head sloppy.
Sixteen years.
It seemed long and short.
I intend to let Ivano, who was a runaway merchant, learn and experience a lot and raise him as a competent guilder.
But Ivano's 'root' hasn't changed much.
Even as a commercial guilder, his eyes remained a merchant the whole time. I was anxious to be in the middle of business, not on the management side.
I hoped you would switch that, but in the end it was just as I expected.
"... if I had stayed until I retired, I could have adopted him and let him succeed the deputy guild chief"
Even though I said it, Gabriella was laughing terribly fun.
"Damn, Dahlia's got a good man."
"Dear Scalfalotto, may I have a moment of your time on the matter of the guarantor of the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce?
"Yes, I don't mind"
"Mr. Dalya, I'd like to borrow Mr. Scalfalotto for a moment."
"... go ahead"
In the conference room, Dalya was stuck at her desk.
I wonder how much I enjoyed today's schedule. I feel sorry for you.
"Excuse me, Master Scalfalotto, let me move the place"
Ivano headed in the back hallway upstairs.
After basic business hours, those passing there were sparse.
Wolfe narrows her eyes to the man who accidentally stopped her leg in the middle of the hallway.
"I know it's rude, but I dare ask. Dear Scalfalotto, what do you think of Mr. Dahliya?
"I think he's a great magic conductor. A dear friend of mine."
"Really?"
Ivano nodded lightly, pointing one hand against the hallway floor.
"There, around where Mr. Carlo Rossetti took his breath. He suddenly collapsed, and I was the first to run, but he couldn't do anything, and he just died."
"This is..."
Wolfe knelt one knee without straying and put his hands together.
When I spin the words of prayer low in my voice, I rise quietly.
"Thank you for what you taught me."
"No, maybe I just wanted to see it"
Wolf's eyes are on alert, and he looks at Ivano.
Even a man's gaze was dazzling, but his gaze in return could not be lowered even if he was mean.
"To me, Mr. Dalya looks like a golden goddess. I've never seen anyone put together that much gold. He doesn't seem to have noticed at all."
"What do you mean?
"I think the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce is a great, lucrative, big chamber of commerce"
"Perhaps that's possible."
"I, next to Mr. Darya, would like to develop the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce. So I have now issued a resignation to a commercial guild. From now on, I would like to sell it to Mr. Dalya in order to become a Rossetti Merchant."
"Why, give it to me?
"Recommend me, Master Wolframe"
"... why should I recommend you to Darya?
Wolfe put in a little irritation and listened back in the language of the earth.
To the voice, Ivano laughed as relieved.
"I'm married. I have two daughters. It's Safe Man against Mr. Darya."
"Though I don't think that's for me to judge."
"Dear Wolframe, are you a chest man or a hipster?
To a sudden question, Wolfe has a headache.
I stopped concealing the earth altogether, and inquired with a frightened face.
"Suddenly, why the story?
"I'm a chest man and a tall, chest-thoughtful woman, or wife, is my absolute preference. Therefore, he is a safe man against Mr. Darya. Don't you think it's safe to work together? Finally, I was an Alliance member for about sixteen years, so I know what I deserve. And before I joined the guild, I was the eldest son of a chamber of commerce president in another city for about nineteen years, so I'm pretty familiar with that one."
"If you're my oldest son, you can take over the house."
"It was all gone when I was nineteen, the Chamber of Commerce failed, and my parents and sister were into it. Me, I didn't behave very well, so I'm my girlfriend, my current wife, but I stayed there at night and I wasn't home. As it were, I came to King's Capital to escape with my current wife, and the job I found was a chore for a commercial guild."
Ever since, I've been here.
The only people who know this background of Ivano and his wife are Gabriella and Viscount Jeddah, and this man in front of them.
"You don't want to set up your own chamber of commerce?
"Mr. Darya's Chamber of Commerce is absolutely more attractive. Besides, as it is right now, the commercial guild is going to be used as good bait for the rest of them, not to mention the Chamber of Commerce, which doesn't have a single merchant. I can't stand that."
"It's not my Chamber of Commerce, is it?
"So there's no way there's a merchant boy who can dream of gold, who might be able to move the world, who won't roll over to it, right?
"That's... I don't know about the knight."
"I have experience, and I'm confident. It will never be Mr. Darya's downside. So why don't you recommend me?
Not responding immediately, Wolf put his finger on his chin.
After a period of silence, the man has turned that golden gaze towards Ivano.
"If you promise me two, I'll recommend them"
"If I can do it"
"Let me put contract magic in the temple. Darya and the Rossetti Chamber of Commerce must be deliberately detrimental."
"You're not trusted, but naturally. Fine."
It's an aristocratic suggestion, but it was within expectations. Ivano nods on the spot.
"The other... I want you to protect Dahlia first. When something happens, I want you to protect Dahlia before the Chamber of Commerce, before profit, before anything else."
"... as a merchant, no, I promise as a man"
This one was a completely unexpected word.
Not an order, a wish.
What the man wanted was not the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, nor accommodation for the Knights, but the safety of just one woman.
Ivano decided at this point to basically believe in Wolf.
"Use this, to prepare"
"... Huh? Hey, isn't that a reign commemorative gold coin, how much the hell would it cost!
A gold coin handed to me so lightly in the hand I was thinking about.
The twentieth anniversary of the reign of the present king was a gold coin, larger than the original gold coin, and only a prescribed number of pieces were sold.
A commercial guild was also contacted, but shortly after its launch it had ten gold coins per piece and a strange price. I have no idea how much it is now that the period is vacant.
"It's just gold to me. I've heard it takes a lot to change jobs. It would also be difficult to get paid right away from the Chamber of Commerce. This is what I'm giving you. Take it without telling Darya."
"... okay, I won't hesitate to take it. And then, in Ivano, I beg you, at the call."
"Okay, Ivano. This one is fine with Wolf. Regards."
"This is Master Wolfe. So. Best regards,"
When they nodded at each other, they began to return to Darya's waiting meeting room.
Outside the window, it's getting dark.
There are no shadows on the stairs illuminated by demonic guidance lamps. You seem to have spoken a little longer.
"By the way, Master Wolf, I was just talking to you."
"What?"
On the way to the dance floor, Ivano stopped Wolfe.
"Seriously, are you a chest player or a hipster?
"... hipster"
"That's incompatible"
An accidental bitter laugh spilled over Ivano's sigh.
"Around me, there are definitely more chestnuts, and the Knights?
"I don't know about the Knights, but I'm a chest-hipster around me, maybe three to two..."
In the middle of the conversation, a black shadow descending from the upper staircase suddenly appeared long in the light of the magic guide lamp.
"... uh, mr. Ivano, the clerk upstairs needs you, and I'm looking for you"
"Thanks Da, Darya! I'm going for a minute!
Frozen Ivano rushed through with his head bowed to Dahlia as he thawed rapidly.
The remaining Wolfe turns to her while desperately fixing her expression.
"... uh, were you listening?
"Sorry, on the way. Because the stairs sound like voices."
"From which neighborhood?
"Wolfe from around the hipster"
"... it's just one of those wicked conversations between guys..."
Even in front of demons, I don't sweat, I sweat cold.
By the way, I also found out by instinct that I couldn't possibly say anything.
"Foot pie"
"What?"
All of a sudden, I heard it back in my dumb voice.
"My father said he was a footman. I had a drink with my friends at the tower and cheered them up, and even when I was there I theorized so I didn't talk for a week."
"Uh, Darya..."
"Wolf, the next thing you know, talk to me in a private room with only men, absolutely"
A temperatureless woman smile I've never seen before.
Wolfe could only nod silently.
