Humans always desired sothing better.
Bigger houses, wider tables, and more possessions such human desire has been a powerful driving force for their developnt, but sotis, the sa desire made humans take risks.
Taking risks in itself wasnt sothing bad.
In order to gain sothing more, it was necessary to make new attempts, and the current developnt of the human race has also been achieved through taking many successful risks.
However, risks were always accompanied by danger.
It ant stepping out of a safe place, and into a dangerous rough terrain.
And that, in turn, created new opportunities for the person, but at the sa ti, it created another opportunity for soone else.
The hunter, who is always aiming at his prey, looking for the right opportunity to strike.

Haahh
Taking a deep breath to relieve her tension, Linda Halls slowly entered the building.
The place where she arrived was the branch of the Beden rchant Company in Lugano.
It was a place she had already visited for a few trades, but today it felt different.
Welco, Sister Linda. A receptionist greeted her at the entrance.
Looking at her, Linda cautiously asked, with both expectation and anxiousness at the sa ti.
That is Lord Bahamut here?
No, Bahamut-sama was unable to co because he had an urgent business.
Is that so? Linda showed signs of disappointnt at the receptionists words.
Although the story she had prepared and her actual purpose were different, the feelings she showed were sincere.
And, seeing her act like that, the receptionist opened her mouth with a little bit of encouragent.
But I dont think you need to get too discouraged. Lord Bahamut couldnt co, but he sent a representative. The receptionist said as she guided Linda to a room.
A representative? Sister Linda asked with a hopeful expression.
Then, after entering the room, Linda saw two won she had never seen before.
One of the won seed to be at the sa age as herself and the other was quite young.
Upon Lindas entry, they politely greeted her.
Hello. Are you the parish priest, Sister Linda Halls?
Ah.. yes, but who are you?
Nice to et you. My na is Isolda Evergarden. As the head of the Beden rchant Companys administrative departnt, I have co to respond to Sister Lindas request on behalf of Lord Bahamut.
Ah it that so! Nice to et you, Miss Isolda. Linda spoke in her usual innocent voice.
After the greetings, the woman nad Isolda lightly gestured toward the chair, and Linda sat down accordingly.
I have a rough idea about the matter. You want to take out a loan from our Company?
Yes. Linda answered Isoldas question with an anxious expression.
However, Isolda looked at her with cold eyes and asked, Can you tell why? As it turns out, I rember that the amount requested for the loan was not a small amount.
Thats the truth is Linda stamred at Isoldas intimidating words.
Isolda didnt show any change in expression even after seeing her act like that, but Linda said in a sad voice regardless of Isoldas attitude, Miss Isolda-nim must have heard of the news. The Dragona Empire signed a
peace treaty with the Kingdom of Hangury a while ago.
Yesbut what does it have to do with this? Isolda gestured her to keep going.
Therefore Linda continued to speak in a voice full of earnestness.
Lord Bahamut has seen it before the people of our parish has maintained their livelihood by mining and selling iron ore. Even so, life was not very good because of the harsh environnt.
Huh.
However, with the conclusion of the peace agreent this ti, the price of iron ore has fallen significantly. In addition, even the custors who had been buying iron ore in the anti has stopped their trade. Therefore, it ca back as a fatal blow for our parish, which was depending on every single piece of iron ore.
And, so?
Do you have anything else to say? Isoldas attitude expressed her intention.
It was a very arrogant attitude, but knowing very well that it was Isolda who had the initiative, Linda bowed her head and earnestly said, Please! Although we dont have custors right now and we are losing money, but sooner or later they will co back again. So at least until then, help those poor people! I want you to help a little so that I can feed them even one al!
You need help but that doesnt sound very convincing. Unfortunately, we are not running a charity.
Isolda showed a cold reaction to Lindas words.
In response, Linda felt the anxiety she had been feeling since the first ti she saw this woman grow even more.
This woman as I thought shes not that simple.
Usually Linda often used the thod of appealing to peoples emotions when persuading them.
After all, most humans were dominated by their emotion, and it was possible to find gaps in even a cool-headed rational person using their emotions.
The more foolish the target was, the easier it was to make them give in to their emotions.
Even if they refused in the end, it would at least soften their hearts, and that served as a lever for Linda to drag the situation to her advantage.
However, the woman nad Isolda, who was now in front of Lindas eyes, didnt have any gaps at all.
