The first prince of the Scottyard Kingdom, Vincent is still in his mansion in Rhodan.

Vincent was looking at the turmoil beneath him with a victorious face.

However, seeing that the people are gradually decreasing in number, it turns into a dubious expression.

"Hey, what happened? Why did the people decrease?"

His servants are unable to answer that question, and just look at each other"s faces.

They found out why several hours later.

The newspaper was distributed, and the details became clear.

There was a large speech at the Bank of Briton.

As a result, the people settled down.

This was written in detail.

"There"s no way that"s possible. There"s no way that a single Briton bank would have that many Scottyard pounds!"

Vincent instantly saw through it.

That the bags hidden deep in the bank didn"t have gold coins in them.

"You ignorant idiots. Why weren"t you able to see through that much?"

"There"s no way they"d as much education as you, Vincent-sama."

The butler comforts him.

After abusing the people from Briton for little while longer, Vincent reads the continuation.

After that it was written that spies from Scottyard were caught.

There was a groundless rumor forming, that Scottyard was behind the mess this time.

"This is a major error. The only saving grace is that since he died, the information wasn"t leaked to Briton."

"That man was a fine spy."

"I have to report this to my father, and reorganize the spy network."

That underling was caught, but he didn"t give that much information.

However, there is a need to have the ones who know his face leave the country.

There"s no choice but to have them engage in missions in other countries.

Receiving Vincent"s words, one person who turned to face him.

"However, like this the plan will……"

"Although the disturbance has been settled, the fundamental problem hasn"t been solved. The exchange rate won"t immediately return to normal. I doubt they"ll be able to return their debts."

"Still, it"ll take longer than I thought it would. It can"t be helped."

Vincent swung his feet frustratedly.

Since yesterday, the situation has made a complete change, and the people who were worked up had calmed down.

Should he torment his slaves?

Vincent thought of such a thing.

A while later, one man visited the mansion.

It is Roger Bream, of the Bream company.

"I"m not in the mood for this right now."

"It"s about the gems of the century you talked about before……"

"If it"s about those you should"ve gotten them already. What"s more, in large amounts."

Even while saying that, Vincent let Roger inside the mansion.

He was interested in the goods that made the president one of Briton"s largest companies talk so much.

"Thank you for letting me in."

"Flattery is unnecessary. Just get to the point."

"Yeah, about that, an adventurer came to sell me a magic item this morning. It"s a never before seen item."

Of course, the merchant first came to Scottyard to sell them.

There"s a higher chance of selling it for a high price when selling it to someone with money.

If he was refused, he just go to another place to sell.

Especially since the value of the Briton pound has been falling due to the present situation.

"The product would be this ring."

It is a diamond ring.

However, since it"s a magic item, it"s real value lies in it"s endowed effects.

"This amazingly makes all statuses go up by 15%. No no, since the previous highest was 10%, isn"t this an amazing item?"

At Roger"s words, Vincent gets surprised, and without thinking about it, he stands.

Roger interpreted that favorably.

He thought it meant that he succeeded in appealing the product.

However, that wasn"t the case.

Vincent put on the ring, confirmed it"s effect, and furiously approached Roger.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Where did you get this?"

Roger loses his presence of mind at the unexpected reaction.

"A,as I said earlier, an adventurer brought it in."

"Edgar!"

Being called by Vincent, Edgar came over, and took the necklace he was wearing.

He then handed it to Vincent.

"This is a magic item that was sold in Graggo yesterday. It ups all statuses by 12%."

Hearing that explanation, Roger understood everything.

"No, I didn"t intend to do that!"

The 15% raising magic item and the 12% raising magic item would cause the value of magic items to crash.

In other words, it"d cause a great loss to Scottyard, who bought them.

"I know. The one who"s messing around with us is someone else."

It"s the person who sold this item.

Or maybe, it"s the person behind them.

Asked by Vincent, Roger explains how he got it.

"I don"t think you"ll get information easily, but investigate this."

The butler responded to him, and left the room.

"I"ll definitely get revenge for making Scottyard look like a fool!"

Vincent left himself to his anger, and threw the ring to the floor.

When I started to walk out of the Bank of Briton, I was called out by someone a little away.

"Ashtal!"

When I turn around, the usual 4 people were running over here.

They come up to me, and stopped running—-they didn"t.

Wai.

Like that, I was jumped into, and jostled.

Mainly by the warrior with the strength of a wild animal, Jamie.

"What is it?"

"The one who gave a speech here was you right? I heard the rumors. You appeared at just the right time."

Jamie"s response is a little hard to understand.

"Thank"s to your help, our resolve was totally wasted."

Tiraiza was fully armed. No, all 4 of them were.

Apparently they intended to challenge the Dark Temple.

That"s considerably reckless.

They must have heard that the turmoil stopped right before they left.

Then, they stopped everything and come over here.

"How"d you do it?"

Yufilia asked me curiously.

I look around the area.

There aren"t many people, but I don"t know who might be listening.

There are things I can"t talk about in public.

"As expected, I can"t talk about it here. I"ll explain it some other time."

Yufilia says "Okay" and agrees, then shows a full faced smile.

"Anyways, thank you, really."

"I told you didn"t I? That I"d do what I want to. That"s why, you don"t really need to mind—-"

Interrupting my words, Yufilia hugged me.

"No, I really want to say this. Thank you, really."

This is probably because she was really been driven to wall.

Then, what I should say here is—-

"dくぉうdふぇmヴで(Translation: You"re welcome.)"

After I answered, she pulled her face away.

Apparently I was more upset than I thought.

"If you"re getting like that from this much, then you"ll need a lot more training in that field."

Tiraiza raised both of her hands and blatantly sighed.

However, her face was grinning。

Jamie and Iris were smiling too.

This country"s problem hasn"t been solved yet.

However, I thought at least for now, it"d be good to smile.
