Port of Mylta. Unlike other districts in the coastal city that are already crowded with people's activities, around the new dock saw several fishing boats that had just returned to use the sea breeze at noon. Some of the boats that had just docked were immediately visited by traders and collectors who had bought their seafood using a contract before the fishermen went to catch fish.
Most of the merchants or besiegers did not come from the city of Mylta, but people outside the city and empire who came to get some kind of fish that can only be obtained by the fishermen of the coastal city. They are also seen bargaining for the next contract, starting to transport wooden boxes and the witches they rent prepare blocks of ice to maintain the freshness of the catch. The cart that has been prepared becomes a medium of transportation to transport, then all of it will be taken to the cliff and newly moved to the merchant cargo train parked in the main gate area.
Seeing such transactions from a place far enough away, Nanra briefly squinted while remembering the words of Odo last time if the fishermen were deceived. He began to understand that it was true, the price of rare and quality seafood was appreciated not in accordance with the right. The gold coins given were not suitable, it was clearly due to the papers the fishermen agreed with hastily after the trade route was reopened.
“What is it because they are worried that they cannot get a buyer, the fishermen will sign a contract and are willing to have their catch priced cheaply?”
Nanra sighed and stopped leaning on the dock barrier. He knew something like that was beyond his ability to handle it. But thinking about Odo's offer of becoming a secretary and entering into the company established by the young man, Nanra felt that she would definitely be faced with something like that.
In the midst of his murky thoughts, four people came to the port area. Nanra looked at them in surprise, feeling that the combination of the four people looks very foreign considering most people who come to the port are merchants who mostly wear suits or traditional imperial clothes like Hanfu.
Recognizing one of the four people, Nanra squinted her eyes and muttered, “Arca ... Rein's? Why is that person from the Rein family here?” At first glance the silvery-white hair girl stared dislikely, a little recalling the news of the wind she heard yesterday about Odo duel against the brown-haired youth.
“If Odo returns to the Mansion due to a duel against that person, will Odo not come to this place to hear my answer either. Wait, wait a minute .... Don't tell me they ...”
Nanra only gave a flat gaze towards the four that looked like they were looking for someone. The merchants and fishermen of course know the brown hair youth who became the center of the four people, they are reluctant to approach and choose not to invite Arca and his subordinates to talk.
Sculpture scanned the pier, observing the fishermen, laborers, besiegers, and traders who were in the place. Not finding a woman who would meet the criteria of the Secretary who he knew from Odo, the young man sighed. But when looking at another corner near the dock guardrail, he immediately frowned and stared flat.
“Silver white hair ...?”
Arca and the others walked towards the girls in the plain white dress. Standing in front and observing the violet eyes of the child, at once the eldest son of the Rein family made sure that the girl in front of him was the Secretary because his physical characteristics were very identical to what Odo told him.
“Orang Odo?”
“Orang Odo?”
Nanra and Arca asked the same question and at the same time. Sighing and turning their faces, the two men felt that Odo indeed had a strange appetite for recruiting. Nanra stared flatly with dislike for the nobility before her, while Arca looked down at the little boy.
“You really are the Secretary?”
“The correct candidate .... Then, you really sent Odo to come here?”
“Ya!” Arca completely underestimated the little woman before her, staring low due to her different height and she asked, “What is your decision? Are you going to follow the plan or not? If you are following ...” The young man took the black bracelet from his pants pocket, then reluctantly said, “Take this and quickly open the dimensional magic that is in this thing.”
Nanra did not seem to like the way Rein spoke. But thinking of her own decision to join Odo's plan, the girl took the bracelet and put it on. The moment the bracelet was mounted on the right arm and Nanra wanted to ask, a glance of electricity radiated from the bracelet and in an instant hundreds of information packets flowed into her head.
The packages of information contained the ordinance of using the Dimensional Bracelet and its checklist, the details of the plan for several months, and, the order to cooperate with the young man before him and some other details regarding the components that must be met. Gaining such information, blood flowed out from Nanra's nose and her face looked pale.
“You ... why? Your nose nose nosebleed, loh.”
“Be quiet ...”
Nanra rubbed the blood flowing from her nose, then stared intently at Arca. At a glance the cornea of the girl's eye changed from violet to green, the analysis process happened by itself inside the girl's head and it gave her a glimpse of surprise. Analysis is different from calculations owned by Odo that can fully get information from outside and simulate in the head of the information obtained.
The analysis that took place inside Nanra's head was simply using the information packets that had been obtained from Odo, he said, then the options excluded from the analysis are something that Odo has prepared beforehand from the packages of information. Nanra held her own forehead, sighed and a glimpse of some choices ringing in her head.
“Ah, so it seems. Odo .. want to do this? She wanted me to do that for her,” muttered the silvery-white-haired daughter.
“What are you talking about, boy?” ask Arca.
“Bocah?” Nanra raised her face and stared intently with her violet eyes, then resolutely said, “You should first learn the ways of respecting others before becoming a manager, Arca Rein. In a working relationship mutual respect is important and it starts with how to call the interlocutor.”
The statue was shocked because of Nanra's rapidly changing expression and way of speaking. At first glance thinking about something about the black bracelet that the woman was wearing, Arca squinted her eyes and understood that some kind of information package was also obtained by Nanra.
“I'm sorry, O Secretary.” Arca lowered her head. Back standing straight and staring at the interlocutor, he said, “True too, mutual respect is important.” The young man reached out his hand and asked him to shake hands, then with a fake smile said, “My name is Arca Rein, the eldest son of the Rein family and now gets a duty from Odo Luke to become a manager. The reason I got this position was because of my defeat in the duel.”
Nanra shook the young man's hand, then with a fake smile she introduced herself, “My name is Nanra Tara, one of the orphans from the Inkara orphanage. I was entrusted the position of Secretary for Ordoxi Nigrum Company by Mr. Odo ..”
“Ordoxi Nigrum?” ask the confused statue. They both stopped shaking hands.
“Our company name. Did you not hear it from Mr Odo?”
Nanra pressed the surface of the slightly loose black bracelet on her right arm, then easily activated it and took out the parchment paper which was a business license made by the Mylta city government. Arca received it and read it carefully, he was at a glance surprised because the form of business he thought was wrong.
“Secretary—?”
“Call me Nanra.”
“Nona ... Nanra, this license ...? Why form his company trading business? Doesn't Mr Odo want to make a distribution business?”
“It was just one of them.”
“Did Mr Arca have come to the building of Mr Odo store that just finished building it?”
“Yes, we checked. That—”
The statue was silent, only to realize that the building was indeed very unsuitable for a distribution office and even roaring suitable for a restaurant. Understand the awkwardness, the young man asked, “Don't say that Odo wants to avoid taxes by making his business form in a general form like this?”
“Tax?” Nanra received back the business license from the Arca, then inserted it into the dimensional bracelet. While staring kindly he again said, “I don't think that's it .... Mr. Odo not only wants to form a distribution business, but also to collect sea products, livestock and land, then process it into products and only distribution in the form of product sales. In other words, the company will cover all aspects of the product from material collection, production process, and distribution to consumers.”
“Wait a minute ...” Arca held his chin and felt something strange, then he asked, “If it was like that, wouldn't there be a conflict with the Lorian Trade Union? Does Mr Odo want to start a price war?”
“Products that Mr. Odo makes, in other words the output is different. I don't know what it is, but I don't think a price war is going to happen. Although it happens, I think also it will not last badly.”
Arca let out a long sigh, stared unconcerned with the price war and said, “Ya, even if it happens it doesn't matter either. Let me destroy those trade unions from this city.”
Nanra momentarily fell silent, slightly understanding the nature of the noble boy before her. Before he said, the brunette youth asked, “But, Miss Nanra .... If so, don't we need a big warehouse? The storage space in the store was very narrow and I had not checked the basement either.”
“Soal it Odo has prepared it ..” Nanra turned to the side and started to step foot, “Come, come with me...” Arca was only speechlessly confused to hear that, then in the end she and her men walked after the girl.
At the other end of the harbor, Nanra and the others arrived in front of a storage warehouse standing in a row of other marine warehouses. The wooden and brick-based warehouse looks new, but no one stands or does activities around it.
“This is a warehouse that Odo recently bought a few weeks ago from the city government of Mylta directly,” said Nanra.
“Not is it new? What ... price ..” The statue stood next to the girl, staring at her and a little doubtful.
“Quiet it!” Nanra looked back with confidence, then explained, “This is even cheap. Did Mr Arca ever hear that the Moloias tried to kill Mr Odo?”
“Ya ... and you—Nona Nanra is involved with that ...”
“Hmm ...” Nanra seemed a little reluctant to explain. Looking back at the warehouse in front of her, the girl said, “This building was destroyed because of the cannon of the royal ship Moloia that infiltrated the waters of this city. Because this warehouse used to belong to one of the fishing groups that defected at the time, eventually after the case was forcibly closed this warehouse was seized by the city government. Next Mr Arca knows the story, doesn't he?”
“So it seems, so therefore Mr. Odo bought it at a cheap price.”
“True.” Arca looked back at the young man next to her, then said, “This place will be our storage.” Nanra pressed down on the surface of the Dimensional Bracelet, took out the lock of the warehouse and handed it to the Sculptor.
Accepting that and clasping the metal key tightly in his right hand, Arca stared flatly and asked, “Actually who are you? Why ... Odo trusted you to this extent? Not that you ... the one who betrayed her?”
Nanra was surprised to get the question, Arca's gaze did not look like a vengeful enemy to Odo for having been defeated in a duel. The girl understood that the noble in front of her had great respect for Odo Luke and that was why he asked her that question.
Turning a glance and at a glance showing a confused expression to answer what, in a soft voice Nanra said, “Okay, I don't know either. Odo .. is a strange person. But ..., if I may be honest .. this is indeed very happy.”
“Blessed?”
“Yes, happy .... Getting a second chance like this, does make me happy.”
Nanra stared with a radiant face, smiling widely as if a flower had just bloomed in spring. Arca immediately understood seeing such an expression and she also understood why Odo wanted to give Nanra a second chance. Sighing, he just behind a stiff smile and murmured, “For people like him, it turns out he can also feel such a thing ..”
