Today it was time to get working. Masato went with Elch to make some money. Though they refused to do business with Neutscheland Trading Company due to their inexpensive prices, the two must come up with a plan to make money for themselves. They have decided to create their own company called Elm Trading Company.

(Outside of the Neutscheland Trading Company)

"So you're saying that we're going up our own trading company" Elch asked

"That's right, and I can assure you that I can make the Neustchland Company go on it's knees in a week" Masato said

"Don't we need a permit for that?"

"Don't worry I got that control"

Hours later, Masato finally got a permit for a trading company with the help from Shinobu having a talent for gathering intel

"I have a given talent for gathering intel, it was more than easy enough" Shinobut said

Elch got surprsied that Shinobuy came out of nowhere "Whaa when did you get here?'

"Nin nin" Shinobu responded

"If Neustcheland is the only one handling all the trade ina tow nas big as Dormundt, then there has to be some conspiracy behind the scenes...The may whoed a vast sum of money coming from Neutscheland so when i questioned him about that a little, I managed to get these as my answer"

He said as he showed him the permit

"Now i shall take my leave" Shinobu said as as jumped into the air"

Masato rolled up the permit and put it away. "Now let's start stocking up Elch"

"Stocking up? But we're here to sell these right/"

Then Masato flicked him "ow what was htat for?"

"You asked a stupid quesiton, this is a good oppurtunity to make money. I do owe your village for saving us after all. The President of Sanada Group is gonna give you a personal lecture on how to make money. Soon I will feast your eyes on a armful of coins.

"YOu think so, an armful of coins" said a child who is wearing tattered clothing with dirty skin I want to learn as well. I want to learn to make my own living. I'm tired of living under other people. Please teach Roo how to make money"

Masato responded "Sure for now on you are one of us"

"Are you serious about this" Elch asked

""Yeah...there is obvious reasons there is greed in her eyes. Adding people like her to your ranks can't hurt" Masato turned to the girl "I am Sanda Masoto, this is Elch, and your name is Roo right?"

"Yes I am roo"

"Ok roo I teach you how to make money"

"Thank you Teacher"

"Teacher, hehe Ok...Listen we are now the Elm trading Company. It's time to have fun to make money"

"Alright'

"But first, we'll need to get you looking the part"

Roo was given some clothes to wear also she has been bathed to look nice and squeaky clean. Masato, accompanied by Elk and Roo, propositions some local men into doing their business at Masato's new Elm Trading Company by explaining to them that they'll make far more money there than at Neutscheland.

"Consignment Sale? I never heard of it what's that?" the locals asked

"The Elm Trading Company will be setting up shop in the central plaza tomorrow, and we'll let Fitze village sell your wares alongside ours.":

"You can do that?"

"We don't have a permit"

"We can" masato said "its;' not like it's prohibited, besides our Elm Trading Company has this permit" he said as he showed it to one of the locals.

The Locals were impressed

"It did cost us quite a bit to obtain this thing, So we'd be taking 20 percent yof your sales as a hosting fee"

The locals were confused on what he was talking about. It obvious Capitalism hasn't been invented yet, but Masato explained about how his system of market works for an example, if they took it to Neustchland company, They would buy it for 150 luc at best. If they sold it to Elm trading company, they would be selling at little less than 400 luc, then they would take 10 percent or 40 luc for themselves, and they would take hom 360 luc, therefore everyone is happy.

"Incredible"

"We'll be earning that much?"

Masato nodded "Go tell you friends about the Elm Trading Company"

The three locals nodded as they head off.

As the Elm Trading Company begins their finances. The remaining seven helped with the village by chopping wood, Ringo began producing aluminum in the cave she made at the crash site, Akatuski entertained children, Tsukasa helped Lyrule make more mayonese, and as for Soma, he is with Winona on how to do advanced farming and easy cooking techniques to show all chefs of Elm Village.

Soma began by unwrapping his usually white headband from his arm, then wrapping it into his head and putting on his white apron in style. Indeed Winona was impressed with his enthusiasm. He then took out his knife chopping down some potatoes and from the leftovers, and some pork that they recently bought from the market. He carefully in a fast pace chopped every single one of them. Indeed everyone surrounding him including Winona is impressed. After hours of preperation and cooking, it was finally done. In his plate was mashed potatoes and some of the cut pork.

"Oooh what is this dish?" Winona asked

"It's called….Bacon. Have a taste"

Winona took a bite of the bacon, as she took the bite, she taste the juiciness of the bacon as it passes her mouth.

"This Bacon is amazing. I need to have more'

Then everyone else took a bite of the Bacon and had the same reactions

"Thank you for eating," Soma said with passion. "Now i need to make more for Elm's Traiding Company"

"Mind if I help?" WInona asked

"No problem"

Meanwhile with Masato, Elch and Roo, the three were standing at the trading post some locals got the attraction due to their cheap prices. Masato smiled with confidence

"Welcome Welcome to the Elm Trading Company, the cheapest option here in Dormundt. Our prices may be cheap but the Quality is just as good"

The Locals looked around the Elm Trading Company and indeed they have alot of stuff "Oh! They have a lot of stuff"

"There's more than just NEutscheland huh?" A lady said

"We're getting lots of customers" Roo siad

"Our shop is closer to their daily sphere and cheaper than their usual shops. Now come on guys let's sell sell sell away"

Throughout the day, the Elm trading Company has succeeded selling a lot of their stuff and earning lots of coins.

"We earned a fair deal today" Roo said

Meanwhile on the road with Touya and his nine wives, Yumina played cards with Linze and Elze. While Hilde was riding one of the carriage. Sakura was in another carriage with Lucia, but Sakura was just sitting in the corner acting all quiet. The Third carraige was carrying Leen, Yae, and Sushie also Touya.

"So we should arrive at Freyagard by tomorrow" Touya said

"Thank goodness, I really wanted to stay over to a motel or something. I hope they are like the Silver Moon Inn" Sushie said

"I'm pretty sure there is something like the Silver Moon Inn" Yae said

"I heard Freyagard is run by a ruthless emperor, but Duke Gustav is a demon" Yumina said

"Only god know" Touya said in his mind then he recived a text from god and he says…

"Yup Gustav is a demon"

Touya nodded

"So how long until we get to Freyagard?" Yae asked

"We'll be over there by tomorrow afternoon, for now on let's rest here and camp for the night"

Everyone agreed

The next few days, Nesutchland Trading Company has gone way down hill. Jaccoi was running low on money, but also was alarmed when the ELm Trading company bought all of his wares and workers. He now comes face to face to his victims

"Y-you people are?"

"That's right, these are the traveling merchants that you took advantage of" Masato said as he walked into the scene. "After you monopolized them, you fired them in order to cut labor costs. By forcing the villager to bring their goods into you, you made the bear the cost of tariffs. Some idiot who only sees the numbers in his ledger would do if they are the kind of cost-cutting. Since you let them go to waste, we've organized them all under our own company. We have signed a 3 year contract with these merchants, and now they will be earning more than they will.

Jaccoi tried to convince the merchants by lying about Masato, but they ain't falling for it. They told him that they don't trust them anymore bringin Jaccoi to his knees.

Masato then went up to him "Listen Jaccoi, what's most important to buisness isn't money, it's trust. As long you have trust you will earn money again. You just wasted all that trust and threw away..however it would be also going too far to crush you and Neutscheland right here"

Elch was shocked what Masato has said

"Elm or Neustcheland it doesn't matter. It's just not healthy for anyone business to monopolize the market. Let's negotiate the future of trade and economy, but be prepared, I might take advantage of you!"

"Yes sir" Jaccoi said nervously

The sun was starting to set, Masato, Roo, and Elch were at the ports counting their money, it was until these group of pirate slavers grabbed Roo desperatley calling Masato for his help.

"Sensei please help me" Roo tears began to tear up

"Roo shall I save you?"

Roo then bit the slaverts arm letting her go

"I want to be a good merchant then earn money to earn my parents back, but all the money i have left over afterward i will give you. I promise you, so teacher, please buy me right now"

Then Masato through a bag of gold coins to the slavery and was surpirsed to so that he bought Roo more than half of the original price

"Hey if you change you mind, you'r not getting a refund" The Slavers said as they run off

"No worries we have a contract. Roo your courage and willpower you displayed is a thousand more times more valuable that i just spent"

Roo then began crying out of happiness and ran to Masato "Thank you Sensei"

"Sorry Elch for spending without asking"

"It's ok you already earned us so much that no one will mind what you spent" Elch said "I never knew that it could feel this good"

It was a huge victory for the Elm Company dominating the market system. Back at the village, RIngo was able to proudce mass amount of shovels, but not just ordinary shovels

"Shovels made of aluminum alloy"

"I was hoping it would help the villager for better farming and constructing" ringo said

"It's perfect thanks" Tsukasa said "Light, sturdy shovels will make farm work and construction much easier than it ever was before."

"It was only possible because Masato-san got me lots of the resources I requested" Ringo said with happiness

"No one compares to him when it comes to earning money"

"Yes it's a really big help"

In the Elm village, Soma was showing off his cooking moves to the vilagers. They were awwing over his moves as they also gave them samples to try. According to Shinobu, the world has four different type of spirits, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, but people can use magic are sacrce in Freyagard, but the rest of the world are common.

Tsukasa went up to Soma and asked him "hey Soma what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Oh thanks to Msasato earning so much money, we're going to celebrate by making burgers" he said

"Wonderful, that's perfect. The Villagers will definitely enjoy that meal."

"What are you guys working on?" Soma asked

"We're making a new bath for the Elm Village"

"Wonderful, I could really use one right now" he said as he watched Aoi picking up some rocks and Kumausa doing some welding on the pipes.

"Hey grab a shovel, and help us dig" Tsukasa said

"Sure thing" Soma said

Soma began helping diggin up the hole. The hole was at least 2 feet deep. The bath was doen before sunset. Soma took a bath first since he's the chef. After taking a bath, he got the beef that Masato bought. Tsukasa helped make some dough for the buns and made ketchup, and mustard. They also had lettuce to come with it, and cheese to finish it.

Night time has fallen, every villager has come to eat a new dinner dish called Cheeseburgers. As usual there are the usual condiments including Mayonnaise. Roo put huge amounts of Mayonnaise in her burger making the bun slip right off.

Winon took a bit of her burger "WHOAAA, this burger is delicious. I have never ate like this. How is your meal elch?"

"It's delicious, like you said I never tasted anything like it."

All the Village's people enjoyed the burger, it was until soldiers and a noble knight named Inzaghi arrived at the Elm's village. They suspected that this village was treason against the empire for using Golden coin.

"You are all suspected of treason of using the golden coins. Only nobles can be allowed to use the golden coins. All traitors will be put to death, soldiers, tie them up and put them in the building"

They tied almost everyone except for Akatsuki, Tsukasa, Keine, Aoi, Ringo, and Soma. As the soldiers lit up the building, they left there to rot, but saved by Prince Akatsuki.

"Wait...where's Lyruel?"

"I think they took her, and the ones who attakced this village called them selves the Guarding Knights"

"We don't have time to waste, everyone lets rescue Lyrule" Elch said

The eight Japanese teens stood looked at Elch, but Tsukasa interrupted

"Wait a minute let's not rash to anything, we're up against a lord, so what you're proposing is to declare war on a country. Even if you rescued her, you'll eventually be crushed, and when he dose, he'll slaughter you all."

"Then what are we supposed to do?" ELch asked in frustration

"Ill negotiate a deal with him. At the moment, the Lord wants Lyrule at his values. It looks like we'll just have to sacrifice her in order to drop the charge of treason. I can come up with a good negotiation and be successful."

"Bastard, how could you come up something so messed up" Elch said in anger

"YOU THINK I'M JOKING ABOUT SOMETHING MESSED UP!" Tsukasa answered back

Elch was about to punch him, then he stopped

"In that case, it's the best way to settle things smoothly. It probably what Lyrule wants'"

"YOu're probably right about Lyle Rule" Winona siad "even if sacrificing her brings peace back to our village, we no longer be ourselves. We'll just be aniamls doing whatever it takes to survive, just like the nobles say"

"Don't you think your survival comes first and foremost?" Tsukasa countered

"No matter how disadvantageous it is to us, helping and supporting makes up humans, so we're going to in order to repaint our survival. Tsukasa pelase hlep us. I know we can rescue Lyrule, so please, help us" winona begged

Tsukasa turned around to the fire "Once it begins, mounds of corpses will pile up. You'll face suffering you could've avoided if you continued yo live as the nobles livestock. Will you face that in order to protect your human dignity?" Tsukasa asked

No one answered

"Very well, if you're willing to go that far, then we will help you with your war. As eight of us are representatives of a Democratic-Republic nation. We will help you with your war and your revolution."

The Villagers were in relief to hear that, Tsukasa turned to his companions, Ringo, Keine, Aoi, Masato, Soma, and Akatsuki as they all nodded in agreement.

"Oh don't forget to warn them about the changes" Soma added

"Right I was just about to get to that" Tsukasa said "Everyone as we will be aiding you, we'll be forced to take this seriously if we're putting our lives on the line. We will be advancing this world's civilization by 600 years. Your politics, economics, values and everything will change, in other words, we'll be destroying the world as you know it, so you have to be absolutely sure" Tsukasa said as he put his hand in front

"I am sure" Elch said

"Me too" Winona said

"Yeah let's destroy the old world and enter a new world era" A Villager said as they all cheered. Everyone is dismissed to gather weapons. While Ringo was able to create advanced melee weapons and shields that no crossbows will be able to damage. Elch was given an iron arrow and bow to become a sniper.

The Elm Army villagers marched into the Castle where they will meet their first wave of enemies.
