Chapter 36

“Is life so bitter?”As the sharp Cybill asked, Sir Rendell began to laugh.”Right. Anyway, coffee is much better than alcohol. If you talk while drinking alcohol, you will quickly get drunk and become unconscious. On the other hand, coffee actually clears the mind. So for male nobles who like to talk, there is no heaven like this.””Do you like Rendell hardness?””Occasionally, I came here with the knights…. Because I don’t like young coffee. Of course, I often enjoy it. It’s the taste of life.”‘Actually, it tastes like elementary schooling.’Claire knew very well that, contrary to what Lord Rendell bluffed, he was, in fact, a childish taste.A few days ago, he had seen him eat chocolate with Luca and Lois.Sir Rendell’s face as he ate the chocolate was still vivid. That enchanted expression.Before long, the waiter served coffee in a white cup. The coffee was steaming hot.”Can’t I try one too?”When Cybill asked, Sir Rendell frowned.”It’s going to be huge. And I have heard that coffee is harmful to women and children.””Nevertheless! Just, just once! Just one bite!”As Cybill continued speaking, Lord Rendell nodded as if compelled to do so. Instead, he stirred in the expensive sugar he ordered with it.Cybill drank a small amount of coffee with a small spoon and frowned.”Ahh! Why the hell are you drinking this? It’s like poison!””Hahaha! Didn’t I tell you! It’s the taste of life. Since you are still a child, it is natural that you do not know this taste!””Ugh…. I really don’t understand.”Claire was on time.While Cybill is in agony and Sir Rendell grabs her stomach and smiles.Claire reached out his finger with a lightning strike, slipped it into the coffee cup, and slipped it into his mouth.「Baby, eating with your fingers is Jiji.」’I can’t help it.’「Master, it’s okay to do that. It’s cute, haha….」Claire closed her eyes and savored the coffee.Then he tilted her head and secretly cocked her once more! She put her finger on the coffee cup.’Hmm….’「How does it taste, baby?」Yes. no tasteClaire closed his eyes tightly and bit his tongue, similar to the expression Cybill had made a moment ago.I lost my appetite….I tried it again to feel the taste of the beans in detail…. It was really bad.’How did you roast your coffee?’Claire shook her head, shaking her head.Sir Rendell said that coffee was originally said to be bitter and tasteless, the taste of life, but that is not the case.Really delicious coffee tastes very savory and sweet. Some coffees deepen the flavor with a sour taste; if the bitterness is just right, it makes the mouth fresh. Besides, you don’t know how sweet the scent is when you drink it.However, this coffee had the worst smell and taste.’Do you think we use tires like water?’People here just enjoyed the bitter taste of vodka, and they seem to drink coffee the same way.’Would trading be worthwhile if only raw beans were taken away?’Obviously, people would be happy if they could teach them the true taste of coffee.Besides, the guests here were only men.Because, as Sir Rendell said earlier, there is a saying that coffee is harmful to women.’Actually, it’s bad for both men and women.’In particular, drinking coffee on an empty stomach was one of the causes of gastritis.Also, the guests here seemed to be the majority of people who had a cup of coffee and chatted for hours.’The turnover rate is not good.’The interior was also dull and dreary. By the way, isn’t the flower of a cafe the interior?If they sell desserts too…. this is a businessClaire narrowed her eyes and began to roll her head vigorously.And before returning home, Claire glanced at the table top.The coffee that Sir Rendell had ordered remained the same.”….”When our eyes met, Lord Rendell smiled sheepishly.* * *That evening.Claire waited for her mother and father to read to her before she washed up and went to bed.As I sat quietly on her bed, Dad, dressed in comfortable clothes, entered the room first.’Why did you come first?’It seemed that mother was still washing.”Claire, aren’t you curious about what book you will read today? Today is just Claire’s favorite….””Wait!”The Duke of Aston blinked her eyes in bewilderment when Claire suddenly interrupted her.”I have a story I want to hear today.””Yes? What are you talking about?”Dad went straight into bed and laid his arms on Claire’s side.”I went to a coffee house in downtown today.””Yes, I have heard the story.””Yes. Sir Rendell drank coffee. They said it was very bitter.””I see.”The Duke of Aston laughed at Claire, who spoke like a baby bird as she reported her day.”By the way. What is coffee made of?””Well, coffee is made from the seeds of the coffee cherry. Those seeds are usually called green beans.””AHA. So where do you get those green beans?””I’m buying stuff from another continent far away.””Wow, are you coming by boat then?”At the innocent question, Duke Aston blinked and then smiled. “Yes. They come to a place called the great port of Pertas in the Viscount of Tedler.””AHA.””Were you curious about that?””Yes.”Claire thought as she nodded her head.’The Port of Pertas in the Viscount Tedler….’The coffee market will grow bigger and bigger. Coffee houses were just starting to appear in the capital, so the spread throughout the empire was instantaneous.’The Hwangbi’s family monopolizes the import of green coffee beans, so only they will become rich.’To protect the Empress from the Empress’s family, they had to take away their business and hinder them.If the Queen’s family had been a family that paid fair remuneration and remuneration to workers working in the trade business, Claire would not have decided to take this business.However, they did not pay attention to the late payment of wages, nor did they consider working hours.It was a vicious company that even hired mercenaries to force and threaten workers.In other words, there was no need to feel guilty about beating them up.’I could rather bring the workers in for a better pay.’It was good that he could earn a lot of money through an agent called Orpana.’But how do they get into the green coffee imports they monopolize?’That was the time I was thinking. The Duke of Aston asked Claire.”Hey, Claire. Wouldn’t it be nice for your father to tell you interesting stories?””Yes.””Then, maybe….”Duke Aston said so and pulled something of him out of his pocket.Then, with a desperate expression, he placed a small magic tool near Claire’s mouth and whispered.”Can’t he just say ‘Daddy is my favorite’? Claire?””….”Are you asking me to be so polite?’Luca and Lois must have been proud.’How much did the twins tease their father and stir-fry them to make them look so nervous?As Claire nodded, the Duke of Aston went straight to Hwasaek and pressed his button.”I like my dad the best.””great. good…!”It was then.The door opened with a loud, small knock and her mother came in.”honey? Why already….””Oh, no. honey.”As Ines entered, Duke Aston put the magic tool in the back pocket. Then he jumped up.”Claire, are you thirsty? Daddy will bring you some water.”Ines narrowed her eyes as the Duke stepped out and walked over to the bed.”You have to have a servant, but you go to get water yourself. Very award-winning.”Is it the instinct of a former investigator? As if her occupational disease remained, the mother tilted her head and looked at Claire.”Claire, do you know why your dad is like that?”Even the witness papers…!Claire had no intention of lying, so he spoke frankly.”I said ‘I like my dad the best.’””You recorded it.”Ines licked her tongue and took Claire into her arms.”Did you have fun today, Claire?””Yes.””okay? So, shall we go to bed early to make tomorrow a fun day?””like.””You will grow taller while you sleep.”Hearing her mother’s sweet whispers, Claire became happy as she floated in her clouds.The warm touch that patted her on the back, and the scent of her flowers was so nice.So Claire whispered a little.”But actually, I like my mother the best.””okay?”Ines smiled and stroked her hair.But wait.She clicked as soon as she spoke, and what she heard was an auditory hallucination, right?When she gently lifted her head, her mother smiled proudly as if she had succeeded.’Everyone has a great desire to win….’Claire laughed inwardly, and she began to pretend that she was asleep.Ines patted Claire on the back a little more and then got up from her bed.And she just left the room with the peacock who had brought water.Exactly five minutes after her mom and dad left.swoosh.Claire got up from her bed, as usual.’Orphana.’「Yeah! master!」’I was thinking, raw beans. It takes too long to go through the proper import process. Of course, the queen’s family will interfere.’「Yes?」’You don’t have to obey the law to deal with them in the first place.’「Well, what do we do? If you do anything…!」’Orphan. Then we….’「Yeah?」’Would you like to become a righteous pirate?’A very simple way.Let’s kidnap a trading ship carrying green coffee beans monopolized by the royal family!
