◇Sodi Yarlit◇

To break the yoke of humanity

"Mavroda, fifty barrels... Confirmed."
Under the watch of Sodi, head of the Yarlit Company... we received the goods. I glanced at my steward, signaling him to pay.

"Well then, here are ninety gold coins (Osu) for the payment... Please confirm."
"If you'll excuse me, then."
He took ten gold coins from the leather pouch he was handed, stood them on the desk, and repeated this seven times.

After concluding our business, we were enjoying a modest banquet. It's rare for the highly cautious elves to sit with humans, yet he had only brought a single unarmed, large man as his escort.
This man, for a barbarian... he understands business well. A transaction built on mutual trust... He deals with things just like a human merchant, which is a great help.

Though he is a barbarian, he blends in with us humans like a fish in a river, coexisting skillfully. Thanks to that, we too are able to make a large profit by trading our respective specialties.

"Delicious, delicious! This is amazing! What kind of dish is this?! Tell me!"
...Still, this guard certainly eats a lot... Well, putting that aside.

"It may be a bit early to say, but I look forward to doing business with you again next year."
I made sure to clearly convey my desire to continue our business relationship.

"Due to the lord's intentions and the state of the harvest, I cannot give you a guarantee... but I will do my utmost."
"By all means, I hope for your continued close relationship."

Despite some cultural differences, I want to continue doing business with him on good terms.
After all, just that Mavroda alone, if transported to the royal capital... even if sold at a discount, would fetch six gold coins a barrel. It's truly a golden goose────
