Chapter 2506: Company and Exclusive Brush ⑫
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Though she was already brimming with the urge to escape from reality, Cornelia somehow pulled herself together and began reading the letters from Magnawell, Nidzveld, and Eingana in order.
As expected, their contents all concerned the exclusive brush. In particular, it seemed that Eingana held even greater interest in the brush than Cornelia had imagined, and the letter stated that, depending on the circumstances, a large bulk order was also being considered.
(……As I thought, this exceeds expectations. I have heard that Eingana-sama is especially particular about beauty even among the Dragons, so she must also have strong interest in magic power penetration efficiency. However, it does not seem that Eingana-sama intends to use it personally; rather, many of her subordinates desire it, so she appears to be acting as the intermediary. Nidzveld-sama and Magnawell-sama seem much the same, the content feels as though they are inquiring about procedures for when their subordinates place orders, rather than for themselves…… In any case, expanding the workshop will be absolutely necessary.)
With this turn of events, the assumption that the Sharon Trading Company would purchase nearly all management rights of the Victor Trading Company and that Cornelia herself would take the representative’s seat was practically confirmed. Though her gaze drifted into the distance, this much had still been within the realm of expectation.
The real problem lay ahead, a letter whose contents she could not predict in the slightest…… First, Cornelia picked up the one from Amel and opened it…… and her expression shifted into that of a cat flung into outer space.
(……H- Huh? The phrasing is far too complicated, I can’t grasp the meaning…… bridge? A sealed gate? A new light? C- Come to think of it, I recall hearing that Amel-sama has a tendency toward exceedingly elaborate turns of phrase. But like this, I can’t discern the actual request…… This “sworn friend” must refer to Kaito-sama, and if Kaito-sama is involved…… In that case, though it may be rude, I should confirm with Kaito-sama directly…… Ah, that reminds me, there was also a letter from the Wingeds’ negotiation representative.)
Amel’s letter was brimming with chuuni rhetoric, and Cornelia could not make heads or tails of it. However, it did state that she had heard of the matter from her sworn friend, which made it certain that Kaito was involved. Cornelia considered confirming the matter with him, but decided to first read the other letter from the Wingeds.
And as she began reading that letter…… Cornelia’s face gradually drained of all color, replaced entirely by shock.
(……What? They are considering trade with our house…… Sharon County? T- That’s absurd! The Wingeds do not conduct trade with anyone except that Viscouncy adjacent to their village. While there are rare, temporary transactions such as with the Albert Duchy, those were approved only after strong petitions through connections. And now the Wingeds themselves are proposing a somewhat continuous trade relationship with our far-distant Sharon County? This is an important matter, it should be addressed not to me, but to Father as the head of the household…… Unn? Errr…… they wish to trade for the exclusive brush…… Huh?)
The letter proposed discussions regarding trade between the Wingeds and the Sharon County. For the Wingeds, who were extremely insular and traded only with a limited few, to initiate such negotiations could only be described as an extraordinary situation.
In fact, many of the Wingeds’ specialty goods were unobtainable elsewhere and in high demand, making this potentially a major transaction. But why address such a proposal to her, someone who was not even the heir…… That answer, too, lay within the letter.
They wished to create an exclusive brush for their wings and hoped to establish relations with the Sharon County for that purpose…… In other words, this trade was effectively directed toward the Victor Trading Company, whose responsible head would likely be Cornelia herself.
Looking as though she might foam at the mouth and faint at any moment, Cornelia desperately forced her mind to keep working.
(W- Why would such a thing happen!? N- No, wait. I can guess. I can guess it all too well…… I have heard that Amel-sama, the chief of the Wingeds, is close with Kaito-sama. Which means she heard about the exclusive brush from Kaito-sama and became interested? B- But even so, to decide on trade with the Sharon County over something like that seems unthinkable…… D- Does she trust Kaito-sama that deeply? She calls him her sworn friend, so I understand that Kaito-sama is someone Amel-sama trusts implicitly, but…… N- No, still, the exclusive brush only reached Kaito-sama very recently, didn’t it? And yet, in such a short time……!?)
The words Eris had once spoken, “the flap of the great dragon’s wings”, echoed again and again in Cornelia’s stunned mind. After everything that had happened, she had believed she was already estimating Kaito’s influence quite highly.
And yet, she now keenly realized that even that assessment had been far too naive. That he possessed enough influence to make the extremely insular Wingeds open a window for relations, such a thought sent a shiver down her spine…… Then, as if struck by lightning, she snapped her gaze toward the remaining letters.
(C- Could it be……? The letter from Bacchus-sama, and the one from Gluttony-sama as well…… c- could they also be the result of Kaito-sama promoting the exclusive brush? W- Wait a moment!? B- But it’s only been a few days……)
At that point, another memory surfaced in her mind. When she had first explained the Victor Trading Company to Kaito, and when she had introduced it afterward…… she had mentioned that “increased sales would make her happy”……
If Kaito had taken that to heart and begun promoting the product among his acquaintances at this pace…… A freezing chill swept through her entire body. Moving in haste, Cornelia seized a sheet of writing paper and began composing a letter to Kaito.
She desperately wrote her thanks regarding the promotion, adding that they already had sufficient orders and that it would be perfectly fine to halt any further advertising for the time being. After finishing, she instructed a servant to ensure it reached Kaito as quickly as possible, no matter the expense…… giving the order with such a frantic expression that even a servant who had long served the County had never seen the like before.
Serious-senpai : [Amel is probably dozens of times more fond of Kaito than Cornelia imagines, more like a puppy that’s completely attached to him, on a level where she probably thinks “If my sworn friend says so, then there’s no doubt about it!”]
