Well…

I'm back to raise the dead!

Finally, after a year! So, what happened? I got distracted with new ideas for stories. So like a cat, I tried capturing that red dot. I fell into a cycle of starting new stories and leaving old ones. Though honestly, I've wanted to come back to these stories for a while.

Man, it has been a while since I've been in this fandom, it's good to be back. Oh ya, I do have a Ao3 account if you want to post these stories there.

Well… Enjoy!

Going to edit chapter 1 after this post… I'm going to avoid (retcon) that cliffhanger, it's terrible!

The rest of the meeting and subsequent journey to Crusch's manor was very boring. Soon enough, I was strolling through the streets of Lugunica once again. This time, I was trying to find the place Ram mentioned…

BAM! I slammed in a girl who was mumbling and crashed on my back.

" Oww, sorry sir... " Uggh, it's ok..." I mumbled as I picked myself up.

" Anyways! Natsuki Subaru, nice to meet you!"

" Oh. So you're… Oh ode! Well… Audrey Suwen…?"

Wait, she's the person I'm looking for?! Great first impression me.

" Ah, Yep. So... "

" Uh… Follow me. T-the office is that way."

" Um… So… How long have you been a merchant…?"

" F-four years..."

This is going to be a long walk...

The Suwen Trading Company building was actually a inn that Audrey rented..

Seriously? Is the Trading Company being run by one person? Why is the clown needing this…

Hm. Whatever! Surely he his reasons to do this.

" So… let's get down to business." Well, I guess its time! Dad, I hope your advice works!

" Right! So, the deal haas two parts..."

: Deal:

The Suwen Trading Company would give:

A discount price for minerals and other materials

Connections to mercenaries

Any info that would affect the Emilia camp

…

The Emilia Camp will give:

Access to the old mine and it's enormous unused storage

Exclusivity to only contract with the Suwen Trading company for trading

…

Honestly, I still don't get why Ros is doing this. But unfortunately, I'm only a butler. So I'm not privy to his thoughts.

" Huh, well look who it is! Ms. Merchant!" A gruff voice coming from behind them heartily said.

" Eh…?! You've heard of me?" Audrey squeaked as she jumped.

" Of course! We have come offering a deal!" A more younger voice exclaimed.

This… Seams so suspect…!

" Well…"

Audrey!

Shorter, but's fine. I'm probably not going to upload often as I currently have over 10 stories I need to write. But I'll definitely try. Chapter 1 update should come soon.

See you!
