Anastasia:  “I don’t plan to just travel around, but don’t turn up your nose at seein’ the sights— People get something out of just explorin’ a place with lots of people in it and takin’ a look here and there.”

Anastasia:  Anastasia’s strained smile vanished as she lowered her voice slightly. That change in her demeanor and expression stole Subaru’s attention. She indicated the street with her chin. “The atmosphere on this avenue’s changed, like the shoppin’ area before it. Did you notice, Subaru?”

Subaru:  “…Now that you mention it, it feels way more hostile somehow.” Subaru had known the sights of the royal capital for only a total of several days and hours, but even he could sense that the air of the royal capital felt different on his skin.

Anastasia:  “The looks on people’s faces have changed. The talk about the royal selection’s brought all kinds of misers out of the woodwork.”

Subaru:  “I think you’re the pot calling the kettle black, especially when you’re the one poking into their business…”

Anastasia:  “Hey, when you compare the people goin’ for tiny piles of coins to a gal who’s after a whole kingdom, they’re pretty pathetic. Besides, in business, speed is the name of the game… When you look at what people with a nose for money are doin’, you see more of the big picture.”
human
Anastasia:  Anastasia thought about “the big picture” in a way Subaru could not fathom. “When the ones at the top move, then the people start to move. When the people move, things move, too. So right now, traveling merchants are pouring into the royal capital from all over. If the people are there, things follow. So I can see this and that about what’s to come.”

Subaru:  “The things you see…are merchandise? Is there some special meaning to what they’re selling in the capital right now?”

Anastasia:  “You caught on fast. Incidentally, the prices of quite a few goods are in flux around here at the moment, but things made of metal have gotten especially expensive. Someone’s snappin’ up weapons like swords and spears inside the capital and out.”
gpt
Subaru:  “Iron and weapons. I feel like I’ve heard about that before… Ahh, from Otto.” The conversation was from when he’d traveled with Otto during the first time going through the loop. Otto had been drowning in drink because he’d been carrying a large quantity of hard-to-sell goods; apparently, his bankruptcy really had been assured.

Subaru:  “Swords and armor… So not just iron itself but weapons and stuff? You don’t think the people gathering up all that are planning to start a war, do you…?”
gpt
Anastasia:  “Who’s to say? It’s possible the goal is more financial in nature. Workin’ the market to favor you is more than enough reason. Merchants collude with one another quite a bit… If they think something’s worth gettin’, they’ll grab it by the throat.”
human
Subaru:  Subaru readily accepted Anastasia’s reasoning. Certainly, merchants would be grateful toward another party creating a favorable business opportunity for them.
