Al’s POV

My name is Alumehi Fareno. My friends call me Al

Though I began as an aristocrat’s son, I am now a merchant

I met a young man by the name of Kouya, just by chance

[Sorry, I a.s.sumed it to be Bouto inadvertently]

I would have reconsidered

The distribution of consumable goods seem to begun showing strange movement

When I investigated more it seems that the country Rusheria is going to attack, this is troublesome

When I first met Kouya he was looking for a place to sell his salt

That was a good situation for me, that would be I would not need to go an alternate route to acquire some

But at that point I had no particular interest in him

However I was overwhelmed by the quality of the salt he had

[This, is this even salt?]

What I saw was much different to salt I have seen before

It doesn’t have anything mixed with it and it is also pure white

I was also surprised at the grain size

[Excuse me]

Is this really salt,What does it taste like? While driven by such curiosities I dipped my finger in and licked it

I have tasted poison many times, but even this was unexpected

The impact that the salt had given me was much more

The moment it touched my tongue I received a heavy taste of salt, but the was something else extra

[This is certainly salt, it is also pure with very little impurities mixed in, this is wonderful where on earth did you find such a thing?]

[Aaa, well]

Though I instinctively asked the question, with the reaction Kouya showed I decided it would not be the best decision to continue

If I treat this well. I could gain a hefty profit

It must be effective enough to help older brother who is an aristocrat

I judged the price and transferred it safely to Kouya

Besides the price is quite low, it would be considered quite special

At this point I judge Kouya to be a beginner and not know the value of such goods

Ten before the day was gone, he came in with four times as much as before. Of Course the quality was just the same

It was amazing to get salt of that quality, but for such a large amount. It seemed crazy

However because there was chance of profit I took the deal, but my view of him changed

The next day Kouya came again, with more salt So I changed the way I was dealing with him

And it was the correct thing to do

From that Kouya came in almost everyday

Some spices also came in

It was strange for such expensive things to arrive is alstromeria, even for those things to arrive in the capital would be rare

I brought them seeking to increase the power of my company

That stuff was also presented to older brother to reinforce my power

I was anxious about where he was getting these goods from everyday, so I put a shadow on him

However every time he just returned to the inn

Though I took that chance and bribed the manager to let me into Kouya’s room, though I found many strange looking things I Did not find any information linked to the goods

[Mr. Arumehi, is it fine to buy such little amounts of the goods when you don’t know the stocking route]

[Well, it is quite an unskilled thing to do, but I want to continue the excellent relation with him, any force against him is banned]

Though I did not find the source I pulled all those following Kouya to stop

A good relation is better than finding the source

Additionally, an issue came up with Kouya’s amount of work

As for me I do not dislike him at all

The point is that he is inexperienced and has a narrow view of things

His judgement for the short-term is bad, but for the long term it is not bad at all

In the town of alstroemeria my power is not small at all

Although I have no rank of n.o.bility, with the relation with older brother and the fareno company as the acting head I have plenty of power

Though I don’t know if was just chance but having such a person supporting me is quite good

Already many of the things I buy from Kouya are becoming the staple product of Fareno company

Some commodities are very popular with the royal family who heard about it from rumos

Already Kouya has become a big a.s.set

There was such things as the trouble with Depotowaru company, I had to help with the settlement after wards

To this town that brother governs has no need for such a corrupt company.
