275 – The Golden Disaster, the Great Depression (5)
While the imperial economists were shouting with blood in their throats about rising prices and falling gold values due to the gold crisis.
“Gold? Isn’t the more the better?”
The students at Orosol Academy did not think too deeply about the current situation.
“Everyone has a pile of gold coins in the warehouse anyway. Why are they making such a fuss?”
“I don’t know.”
They didn’t really care how much gold there was.
In the land of Nostrum, a lot of gold has been produced over the past 500 years, and it has become widespread enough for the Knights of the Golden Dawn to wear golden armor.
Above all, even the gold coins in your pocket are gold.
There were some who said that the gold required to make a 1cm diameter 1-gold coin was a waste, but the of Nostrum was that it was a waste of money to reality actually melt it down and make new gold.
As a result, the people of Nostrum were not particularly dissatisfied with the increase in gold.
If there is any complaint, it is that the merchants who import goods from the empire are responding immediately.
“No, guys. Are we in big trouble now? Do you know how many gold coins we need to prepare to buy a bag of this candy from the empire? In the past, it was just one bag, but now we have to bring a bag. Later, we will have a cart full of gold. “You said I might have to pay for the candy by filling it up?”
“Adam, you worry too much. If candy is expensive, you can just buy chocolate.”
“…”
“And why do you fill up a cart with 1 gold coins? If you need 1 million 1 gold coins, can’t you just give 1 million gold?”
Those who were sensitive to money or ran a business, especially those who frequently read the Imperial Newspaper to check the trends of the empire, were on fire.
“I think I’ll go to the empire when I graduate.”
“To the Empire? Oh, the air there is so stuffy that you can’t live there?”
“If I try to stay here, I’ll be so frustrated that I won’t be able to live.”
Some even expressed the idea of leaving for the empire.
“Huh. Do you want to go to the empire and live there?”
“No. I plan to stay in Gibraltar for a few years and then go on a trip.”
“Hehe. You say you’re traveling, but aren’t you trying to seduce an innocent girl from some empire? Are you trying to be ‘Gray’ too?”
Gray.
Establish a romantic relationship with a woman from the empire, and then obtain a high social position in the empire, whether it be assets or power.
“You want Gibraltar… Haha. No, I should just not say anything.”
“Adam, the problem is that you ignore the people around you too much. Do you think Gibraltar will be attacked by golden spirits? Not at all. We will just continue as we have been up until now, and use the gold we have in the family storehouse to make necklaces and bracelets. All you have to do is think about what kind of jewel to put in.”
“Why don’t you just say we can make dishes and toilets with all the gold we have?”
“Why are you so aggressive? There’s just so much gold, why are you so irritated?”
Most Nostrum people didn’t think about it very seriously.
“It’s just that there’s a lot of gold.”
“And what if there is infinite gold?”
“Isn’t good good good?”
“…What if everyone and everyone has gold, and even the commoners you are so reluctant to have gold?”
“…”
Some people seemed worried for a moment that gold was becoming so common.
“Well, wouldn’t someone do something? Queen Naria, or Gibraltar. Or… Adam, you.”
“…”
“Oh, no. Should I say my name a little differently when I go to the Empire? Hey, Adam?”
“I shouldn’t say anything.”
An era of increasing gold.
Individuals are simply happy that the gold in their pockets continues to increase.
And in order to get that gold, they just keep coming back to Barcelona or the border.
“Adam, don’t get too worked up. Gold will increase, the value of gold will fall, prices will rise, and at the same time, it won’t just end with the value of the currency fluctuating and the status of the Thaler falling. The entire continent’s economy will be shaken, but don’t be so pessimistic. There is no need.”
“You say that even though you understand everything?”
“So. What can I do as an undergraduate student? Or should we all just share the gold equally?”
“Marx, you…”
“As gold becomes more common and the country becomes more chaotic, wouldn’t it sometimes be an opportunity for some people?”
Orosol Academy.
“It is the Kingdom of Nostrum and the Empire that are falling. Then wouldn’t everyone be equal and be able to start something with an abundance of gold in their pockets?”
While various opinions coexisted, there was one major premise that everyone could not deny.
“Our incompetent king performed royal miracles to cover the continent with gold, so what can an individual do?”
The golden copy cannot be stopped.
* * *
At that time, a conference room at Orosol Academy.
“As you all know, not only Orosol Academy but the entire continent is facing a major crisis.”
A young man with golden hair, a third-year student at the Academy, and one of the Imperial students – and at the same time, he is currently acting as an agent for former Vice President Noir Gibraltar, who is currently on a forced leave. . Of absence for some reason.
“I am Blonde, Acting Vice President of the Interim Student Council. I speak on behalf of all the Imperial students gathered here.”
Blonde, number 201 of the first class of Imperial students and the dormitory director, stood on the podium while looking at the Imperial students and some outsiders gathered in the conference room.
“As a result of our Imperial students staying up all night collecting information, discussing, and gathering opinions over the past two months, we have summarized two fundamental ways to solve the golden apocalypse.”
Pot.
“One. This person becomes the only king.”
When the blonde stretched out her hand to the side of her, a portrait of a person came down from above along with a ‘rumbling’sound.
“When our student council president and monarch of Nostrum Kingdom, Naria Geo Nostrum, became a true ‘saint’. After dethroning Saint Geo Nostrum with the qualifications of adult Nostrum, he withdrew his orders as the only Nostrum royal. If we do this, The golden disaster will end.”
Those who entered the conference room turned over the printed materials they each had.
There, the basis and reasoning process for Blonde’s claims were written in detail, and the amount reached dozens of pages.
“But we have to prepare for when this is not possible. We don’t know how long the gold will continue to flood, but that’s why we have to think about recovering this gold. And that…”
The blonde’s eyes turned to a woman sitting at the very front of the conference room.
“Princess Astasia von Tersian. It’s up to you.”
“Me?”
Astasia, in uniform, pursed her lips and shook her materials.
“What can I do?”
“Full support for the plans of the Governor of Gray Gibraltar Barcelona.”
“Oh, I can do that. “What else can I say?”
Astasia’s expression she relaxed as soon as the name Gray was mentioned
The other imperial students sitting behind Astasia could not even swallow their saliva and were only fiddling with the printed materials, and the blonde was also holding her breath, squeezing her hands that were covered by her lectern.
“The Governor-General of Gray Gibraltar has made an official request to Orosol Academy to begin immediate research on the development of the canyon. And to that end, to develop the canyon in a way that does not adversely affect the railway in Gibraltar Gorge.”
Flap.
“If there is an infinite amount of gold and we have to use it somewhere, we must use it where it is most valuable.”
Another portrait came down behind the blonde.
“Our emperor, Habsburg von Tersian!!”
All of the imperial students began to notice each other.
In addition to international students, non-students such as professors, cafe owners, and Orosol Academy management staff also began exchanging glances.
“I know. What thoughts you all have towards Her Majesty the Emperor. You and I are no different. Especially when it comes to Her Highness the Princess.”
The blonde gulped and pointed at the Habsburg Emperor despite the cold look in Princess Astacia’s eyes.
“We will do our best to create a golden statue of His Majesty the Emperor. To mark the 100th year of the imperial calendar, we will use the overflowing gold to create all kinds of monumental objects.”
“The representative one is…”
“A 300-meter-tall golden statue said to have been mentioned directly by the Governor of Barcelona, Gray Gibraltar!”
“…”
Imperial students began whispering to each other.
“As members of the great Terssian Empire, we were born with the duty to spread the greatness of Emperor Habsburg von Terssian by building in the empty space developed by the canyon!”
While being wary of the slight madness in Blonde’s voice her, he was also wary of the fact that Blonde was acting as a substitute for Vice President Noir, who was on leave from school even as a student studying abroad in the Empire.
“But we are still the Empire’s international students! The country’s work is for the country, and students do their best in their positions as students! Therefore, we Imperial International Students!”
Because it becomes an ability.
“Using the gold obtained by defeating the golden spirits rising from Orosol Academy, we must create a golden statue to celebrate the engagement of Gray Gibraltar, Governor of Barcelona, and Princess Astasia von Tersian until the day the engagement ceremony is held. That’s What I Claim!”
Moment.
“In front of the Orosol Academy Gibraltar Scholarship Foundation building, we will create a golden statue of the two of you holding hands, creating an eternal statue of lovers that will be passed down to the academy from generation to generation!”
Silence fell in the conference room.
“I spread the story that if you confess and kiss in front of each other, you will become an unbreakable couple, and some of the students from our empire succeeded in seducing the nobles of the kingdom, so they officially confessed in front of them and pledged to get married. Eternal love…!”
“Hey, blonde.”
“…What are you doing during your speech, Scarlett? No matter how much you are the princess’s attendant…!”
“Back.”
“Back?”
Only the blonde didn’t notice.
“…!”
A golden heroic spirit emerged from behind the Blonde and listened quietly to the Blonde’s words.
“…Hmm.”
The blonde calmly stepped aside.
The golden heroic spirit that rose from the ground had a golden mace in its hand and a seal, a symbol of a high-ranking knight, on its breastplate her, but it did not cause any harm.
“…Be surprised.”
Golden Heroic Spirit.
They spring up in all sorts of places, but they cause no harm to ordinary people.
Only Gibraltar.
And on his way to kill Gibraltar, he only deals with those who stand in his way.
“Princess. If you don’t mind, I will take this golden heroic spirit…”
■■■■■■■!!
The golden hero suddenly released mana and rushed towards the window.
And from that window, there was something like a golden, shining rope hanging down.
Wow!
The window broke, and the golden hero fell straight down.
Each of the Empire students, including Blonde, momentarily thought, ‘I think this was the 7th floor.’
“Oh my, oh my.”
A ‘person’ who came down from the sky immediately figured out why the golden hero had suddenly jumped towards the window.
“I came to pick you up secretly, but you’re good at breaking the ice.”
“Ah…!”
Astasia, whose expression was stiff, stood up immediately.
“Gray!”
I ran towards the broken window, ran towards the person who appeared beyond the window, and hugged him.
Slurp.
The two disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Not down, but up into the sky.
“…This is the 7th floor.”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
With the sound of something, a huge magic engine rumbling.
■■■■■■!!
Outside the window, I could see the golden heroic spirits rising from the square, just fluttering about, pointing their weapons at the sky.
“…No way.”
“Sky?”
Goo goo goo.
The moment the blonde was the first to stick her head out the window.
“Ha.”
Above Orosol Academy, a battleship was flying in the sky, retrieving the rope that had been lowered down.
A rope shines brilliantly with gold.
And like that rope, a golden battleship.
“…If we spend all the gold on making airships, will we be able to prevent inflation?”
There was no one who could answer Blonde’s question.
