Episode 274 War of Money (2)
It’s late at night when the excitement of earning a lot of money is slowly cooling off.
The night dew that came out to greet the dawn formed heavily on the tips of the blades of grass.
Creak –
Dolores carefully looked around and opened the door on the roof.
The rooftop of the girls’ dormitory was an area where students were prohibited from entering, so it was a cautious move.
She just goes through the door and takes a step onto the roof.
“……Did you come?”
A voice like scraping metal greeted her.
night hound. He was standing on the edge of the railing.
Standing leisurely on a height that is dizzying just by looking at it, it seems like a person who has been here all along.
“I’m sorry. I was a little late because I was avoiding the housekeeper. You waited a long time, didn’t you?”
“not really.”
Dolores stared at the night hound’s cloak.
Judging from the lack of night dew, it seemed that they had arrived recently.
“Didn’t you get lost when you came? It must have been difficult to find the female dormitory because there are many similar buildings around.”
“It wasn’t too hard.”
To Dolores’ question, the Night Hound answered calmly.
For a moment, Dolores’ eyebrows moved.
‘The dormitory buildings all look similar and there is no sign of the building, so it’s hard for first-timers to tell them apart. After all, is the Night Hound-sama a person inside the academy?’
If you have visited this place, which is difficult to find, in a short time without getting confused, it is highly likely that you are familiar with the internal geography.
Suddenly, Dolores remembered an incident that had happened a while ago.
At the time of the festival, a mysterious female black magician who led the dead soldiers and invaded the academy.
She must have said something strange.
‘Where did you stole the night hound? Traces of a night hound were found in your room.’
At the time, Dolores had just let it go.
Because Dolores, who values privacy, does not allow anyone to enter her space.
Even when various facilities or furniture are broken, they repair it themselves.
‘Come to think of it, why did that woman say that?’
I wonder what their relationship is, but I’m more concerned about the fact that there were traces of the night hounds coming to his room.
at that time.
Dalgrak-
Something made a sound in Dolores’s arms as she took a step forward.
It is the ‘Mirror of Truth’.
It was obtained as a prize for winning first place in the university league with oparts that showed the true face of the subject reflected in the mask.
‘… Shall I reflect on the night hound with this mirror?’
Dolores thought for a while.
But then she shook her head with her eyes closed tightly.
I tried bringing it just in case, but it still didn’t work.
I didn’t want to know his identity in this way.
‘Let’s wait until the Hound of the Night tells us first. This is not polite.’
While Dolores is alone in agony with her eyes closed.
“?”
Bikir. The Hound of the Night was staring at Dolores curiously.
After a while, Dolores opened her eyes and took a deep breath before opening her mouth.
“I’ve done everything you asked me to do.”
Dolores told Vikir everything that had happened.
10,000 people in the business world that Piggy knew. A forward-looking letter written by Sinclair every time.
Sometimes the target was the market price of gold, grains such as soybeans or wheat, bronzes, minerals such as orichalcon, futures options, or real estate or bonds.
The result was always either wrong or right, but about 30 investors who won in a row with that 50% probability were wonderfully caught by the bait thrown by the hound of the night.
Even the Night Hound made a huge amount of money by investing in a merchant guild led by a dangerous person named Sindi Wendy during the last investment.
“You have extraordinary investment skills. I didn’t know that.”
Dolores seems genuinely impressed.
Of course, Bikir didn’t care that much.
‘Because it was a tactic Sindi Wendy used several years later in the future.’
I just applied the method a little quickly and used it.
“Now, all that remains is to summon the bourgeois’ figures.”
There will be no backtracking as it is clean (?) earned money.
It was a method that showed a little bit of private temperament, but anyway, there is no problem under the current law.
“Tell my friends who helped me to thank them.”
“Yes. I will. But I wonder if the children will get caught up in a fight with the devil…”
Dolores looked worried for Piggy and Sinclair.
Of course, Bikir also thought about it.
“At the moment of decisive battle, you can put it to sleep in a safe place.”
After speaking, Vikir placed a bottle of medicine in Dolores’ hand.
It was a sleeping pill.
When Dolores is making a nervous expression.
Bikir opened his mouth.
“Now, the final stage before the decisive battle remains.”
“If you say it’s the last time…?”
“I’m going to recruit an insider.”
Bikir’s words were natural.
The bourgeoisie is a family where everything is buried in secrets. It is impossible to attack without providing information from insiders.
“The bourgeois should find someone who is in a position of antagonism to the current head of the family even though he is in charge of the internal affairs.”
“Is there such a person?”
“Of course. I have already investigated.”
The head of the bourgeois family.
It wasn’t that difficult to find a high-ranking person on the opposite side of him.
“You can find out by putting together newspaper articles. A quick look at old economic newspapers will give you the answer.”
For a moment, Dolores paused.
……Economic newspapers from long ago?
‘……And I also read all the economic newspapers from a very long time ago, and the enthusiasm is really amazing…’
I think I heard it as if I was passing by somewhere.
‘When was that?’
I must have heard it recently, but I can’t remember when or by whom.
When Dolores feels deja vu, Bikir holds out several newspaper articles in front of Dolores.
Economic news from a very long time ago was scrapped.
[Economy] Who will become the head of the bourgeois family!?
-The situation where the sharp confrontation is intensifying over the position of head of the chaebol bourgeoisie……
Currently, the most likely are the eldest son ‘Bourgeois Bartolomeo’ and the second son ‘Bourgeois Damian’…
[Economy] Deputy director Bartolomeo becomes the target of strong tax investigation!
-On October 0, Bartolomeo, the eldest son of a bourgeois family and deputy director of the Mineral Futures Exchange, is responding to a sudden tax investigation…
Meanwhile, the Imperial Tax Investigation Team is making such unannounced tax investigations more frequent. It is a guideline to expand, and at the same time accuses Vice Director Bartolomeo of breach of trust and embezzlement and tax
evasion ……

-X
month X-day Damian, the second son of a bourgeois family and deputy director of the currency manufacturing bureau, was involved in a ‘gap-jil’ scandal and became a hot topic.. ….
Insulting an attendant who was doing security work at her daughter’s picnic by saying ‘Do the job right’ and causing mental damage…
We can find out who the opponent of ‘Bartolomeo’, the head of the bourgeoisie, was.
When there were newspaper articles accusing Bartolomeo of a negative image, there were newspaper articles promoting a positive image of Bartolomeo.
Conversely, when a newspaper article promoting Bartolomeo’s positive image came out, his reputation was tarnished due to a negative image.
This made it clear who the bourgeoisie was against the family.
[Economy] The winner of the bloody shareholders’ meeting!?
-D Month D, the head of the bourgeois family has been decided.
The eldest son, ‘Bartolomeo’, is elected as the next family head…
Bartolomeo, who became the new head of the family, announces personnel reform with a promise to revive the family…
The personnel transfer measures are as follows.
Department head of the 00 management department Moved to the 000 family……
Team leader of the XX management department Dispatched out of the XXX family……
Director of the DD management department DDD Long-term regional business trip……
Deputy director of the Currency Manufacturing Bureau The second son, ‘Demian’, is promoted to director.
The younger brother who lost in Game of Thrones.
As a result, he was completely cut off from his family and dragged away as if he was exiled as a hostage to the imperial family.
Damian, the bourgeois.
A powerful person who once aimed for the throne. numbers of the past. secret antagonist.
Bikir was paying attention to this ‘silver medalist’.
“Bourgeois Lord Damian. Count of the bourgeois family and current director of the Imperial Money Manufacturing Bureau. At the same time as eating rust from the imperial family, he is also an advisor and an outside director for several upper tiers operated by the bourgeois family. However, he is half of the imperial family. I will not be able to intervene in the family’s internal affairs.”
It is presumed that his promotion from deputy director to director was the result of losing in a political battle.
Originally, it is customary for talented bourgeois families to rise to the position of second-in-command in an imperial institution, then resign after learning only the know-how and return to their hometown to take on a heavy responsibility.
However, no one calls the dogs abandoned by the family, so they have no choice but to sit in the imperial family.
To become a hostage to the imperial family.
“…Damian. I know a little about this person.”
Dolores said, looking at the newspaper articles.
At the time of the college league, she carried out the quest for the bourgeoisie in the second game.
財閥家 / Difficulty [★★★★]
The currency manufacturing bureau recently issued high denomination bills, and as a result, the counterfeit bills are increasing.
At this time, from the position of the bourgeois family, select the beneficiary item of the currency reform and suggest a new business item or an improvement plan for the old business item.
4 star difficulty. It was quite a tough task.
Since it was a question directly asked by Count ‘Bourgeois Demian’, who was the director of the empire’s currency manufacturing bureau, Dolores had some familiarity with him.
Bikir nodded and said.
“Now that I’ve done a good job in the business world, it’s time to meet Damian.”
“How? He doesn’t seem to be selling meal tickets in particular.”
When Dolores asked with a puzzled expression, Vikir gave a simple answer.
“Hold a party.”
Dolores’s eyes widened when she saw the party quote Bikir handed out.
“Hey! This is all the budget for a party!? How many zeros did I get wrong?”
The cost was so great that even the saintess of Quo Vadis, one of the 7 families, was terrified.
Bikir was thinking of squandering the astronomical amount of money he had earned from this investment in just one party.
“We’re going to throw a very fancy and extravagant party. To the extent that all the celebrities of the zodiac will lose their eyesight.”
In other words, money is a means, not an end.
