When everyone found Consul Caesar, the fat and cunning businessman was sitting at the wine table, sighing and drinking. His face was full of sorrow, and his folded flesh was covered with sadness. They saw an atmosphere of lamentation all over his body.
By the way, this wine table is placed in the courtyard of the warehouse area. It was obviously moved here by Roman soldiers.
But considering how cunning this person is, is he really depressed, or is he deliberately sighing to attract attention after everyone comes over? This is a bit... well, there is no way to verify it.
However, based on his own intuition, Yagi Xuesai firmly believed that Caesar should be pretending.
"Oh, you are here. Oh, I know why you are here -"
With that unique low and affirmative tone, Caesar opened his mouth and blocked everyone's words. "I know why you came" made everyone immediately want to listen to what he said about what he did here.
an emotion.
"You guys came to seek refuge in Rome - that's probably impossible. For the dumplings that fell from the sky, right? That's a really sad story. I was walking in the backyard that day, and suddenly a lot of dumplings fell from the sky. So I collected them
Get up and transport them away..."
"etc?"
Seeing Caesar's tendency to start sophistry in a long speech, Yagi Yusei quickly stopped and asked:
"Let's not talk about why you, as a Chaldean servant, stay at the Singularity, why do you want to transport it away? Isn't that something that belongs to your Rome?"
"Haha, this is really interesting, little brother. Look, there are fruits falling from the trees in my orchard. Shouldn't this fruit belong to me?"
"But the dumplings are different, right? How could the sky suddenly drop some snacks?!"
"Of course. It's better to say that nothing is impossible in Rome. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome... Well, it doesn't seem to have this meaning. I mean, there is a proverb in the East, ancient China: "Heaven"
Pies fall. Even cooking products like pies can fall, so what’s impossible with dumplings?”
Caesar was so eloquent that Yagi Xuesai didn't know how to refute him for a moment. After all, as a Japanese, he really couldn't understand what "pie in the sky" meant, so he cursed in his mind that the weather in China was too weird.
The nest is on fire changed the topic:
"Someone stole those dumplings from Chaldea! They are stolen goods! Please return them to us!"
"But, shouldn't the judicial department and state violence agencies come forward for this kind of thing and bring relevant certificates? I remember this is what the Six Laws Encyclopedia says. So, do you have any? Search warrants and the like."
This fat man who was almost embedded in the chair said this in a low and gentle tone, not anxious at all, but it made people particularly angry.
Yagi Xuezhai couldn't restrain the desire to chop him.
"Please be careful. We are currently negotiating with me from the Roman Empire. Depending on your attitude, it may become an international issue."
"Mr. Caesar! Please give up your sophistry!"
Mashu drank vigorously. It was rare to see Mashu show such a strong and resolute expression. It seemed that as long as she was related to Fujimaru Ritsuka, she would easily become excited. This rare Mashu could not help but make Fujimaru
Ritsuka took a few more glances.
I saw this purple girl waving the shield in her hand, and the strong and heavy shield hit the ground with a crisp sound and raised a circle of dust. The meaning was obvious: if you refuse to cooperate, you can only use
Force!
"Okay, okay, I was wrong to make fun of you, I apologize, I apologize. But those dumplings are not in my hands now!"
Caesar changed the subject, his eyes showing a cunning light.
"It's a pity that I just collected those dumplings and filled up a warehouse. Nero likes this kind of stuff the most. I guess he will hold a dumpling festival or something? Then, a group of thieves came and took my dumplings.
The dumpling warehouse has been looted! That’s why I’m drinking here.”
Caesar said and sighed heavily.
"Thieves?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said strangely.
"Well, you are also very familiar with the future conquering king, Alexander. Wow, that is really unreasonable. He said something like 'I will conquer when I see you', and then robbed my warehouse.
Yeah. I also teamed up with a group of rebels, including sword-wielding Japanese samurai, the Queen of Britain, rebellious gladiators, and thieves who were obviously here to steal wine, and they all ransacked my warehouse."
While Caesar sighed, he provided many clues very eloquently.
"Well, I don't have any dumplings here anyway, so your goal is dumplings, right? You go and recycle them, and whatever you recycle will be yours. That's generous enough. We in Rome can provide clues and search personnel - but the reward...
…”
"You want more money?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was suddenly shocked and asked with a bitter face.
"Of course, there must be sacrifices to get rewards. Work must be rewarded."
"But this dumpling is originally ours!"
"The problem is, we didn't steal this. Whoever stole it should go to whom. We just don't know that it was stolen goods that were transported away. What's more, the things are not in our hands now, and if you want to borrow our power
, of course I need to pay extra. How about that?"
Oda Nobunaga was stunned and said with a smile: "Is there such a thing? Haha, this fat guy is so funny."
"Don't laugh! It's serious here!"
Okita Souji pulled her and quickly told her to shut up and not make the situation more serious.
"Caesar...what reward do you want?"
Sensing that the living sisters had a tendency to go berserk, Yagi Xuezai almost gritted his teeth and asked. This question contained a hint of tolerance. Caesar heard this, and the sadness on his face was finally replaced by a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything like a lion--but, in Chaldea, it would be best if we can give more support to our Caesar Chamber of Commerce in the future."
Caesar Chamber of Commerce!?
Yagi Yusei knew that Caesar was planning something as soon as he came to Chaldea, and he actively planned it, but he didn't expect that it was actually a chamber of commerce?!
"...Okay, we get it! So, where are those dumplings?"
Ma Xiu was concerned about Dango and estimated the time in his mind. Two hours had passed and ten minutes had passed.
"Well, Alexander and Spartacus are in the military camp on the east side of the city. Jing Ke, Sasaki Kojiro, and Ushiwakamaru are drinking in the tavern on the north side of the city. Boudica and Martha borrowed the kitchen of a private house in the south of the city and are studying cooking.
.”
"Don't you know everything about this?!"
Seeing Caesar talking eloquently, Yagi Xuesai shouted.
This person! He has mastered the rhythm of the conversation from the beginning! He already knew where the person who stole the dumplings had gone! He was just waiting for everyone to fall into his trap step by step. Not only was he using him as a gun, but he also wanted to give them to him.
Just for convenience...
To be honest, Caesar didn't use any high-end speaking skills, but no one in this group of people was good at conversation... What else could he say in return to ordinary female high school students, otaku magicians and blank-sheet Chaldean elites?
What kind of expectations?
Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed heavily: "Senior... we obviously got the news, why can't I feel happy?"
"Fujimaru, this is probably what it feels like to play a crappy RPG. You know exactly what's going to happen next, but you can't play the game unless you follow a specific route."
