"How can we make goblins understand the concept of economy?"
When I asked that question, the smartest of those under my banner scratched their head.
From the elves, representing Shure, were Fei and Felbi.
From the goblins were the old goblin; the battle demon, Gi Jii; and the knight class, Gi Ga Rax.
From the demihumans, the mud-shelled tribe (tarpidae), Fanfan; and the man-bull tribe (minotaur), Kerodotos.
From the humans, Shumea.
"Goblin King, I think it would be better to give it up," Fanfan said.
"I would prefer if you tried thinking about it first though," I said.
Felbi scratched his head. "I think it'll be difficult. I mean, to begin with, they don't even understand the concept of bartering, right?"
"Well, yes," I agreed.
"Your Majesty, what is this 'economy' you speak of?" Gi Jii asked, causing the other goblins to turn to me as well.
Stop looking at me with those resigned eyes.
"How do we go about this?" Fei started politely explaining. "Alright, for example, Gi Jii, let's say there was a spear you wanted. To obtain it, you asked a koro dwarf to make it for you. But that koro dwarf can't make it without food... Do you follow?"
Gi Jii, Gi Ga, and the old goblin looked at each other and then nodded.
"More or less," Gi Jii said.
Fei heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, in other words, we should prepare some food?" Gi Ga asked.
"Yes, but if the koro dwarf wants something else, you must provide that instead," Fei said.
"...Mu, mumu? Why?" Gi Ga asked.
Fei turned to me with pleading eyes.
"In other words, you say what you want~ and I say what I want~ and we exchange!" The minotaur, Kerodotos, said in that ever slow fashion of his.
"What if we don't have what the other party wants?" The old goblin asked.
Kerodotos answered. "Then there's no deaaaaaal~"
"Then what if our respective offers don't match? For example, one side wants a double-head while the other wants a bundle of herbs?" Gi Jii asked.
"That certainly doesn't add up!" Gi Ga angrily nodded.
"Then you should rejeeeeect~" Kedorotos said.
"In other words, if we don't like the deal, we refuse?" Gi Jii asked, and Kedorotos nodded.
The three goblins were bewildered, but they somehow managed to grasp the concept of trade.
"My king, what is the point of discussing this?" Gi Ga Rax asked.
