Ballistic Revenge 4

 

“O, of- of course, no problem!”

“Wi, with, with pleasure!”

 

Alright, we got a good grip!

 

******

 

“That’s why this town is…”

“Un un!”

 

Super popular…

Sabine-chan, that is…

 

But why?!

Isn’t it natural that I would be more popular here, being seen as about 13 years old and playing as the older sister?

I mean, Sabine-chan… She just turned 12 years old, right?

She was 10 when I first met her and it’s been two years since then.

The height difference between me, which can be seen as a 13-year-old, and her, is hardly there anymore…

……Eh? What?

Does that mean I’ve already lost to Sabine-chan in terms of femininity?

Sabine-chan, a 12-year-old?

……I am 20 years old.

And these boys are about 15-16 years old.

Aah~!

Aaaaaah~!!

 

……Anyway, the information gathering is progressing smoothly.

Because of Sabine-chan…

And as a result, the information obtained are as follows:

Apparently, the lord here wasn’t a lousy lord to his subjects.

…But it’s not like he’s a “good lord” either…

He collects taxes at a standard rate and manages the territory in the normal way.

I don’t know about the upper class, but for the common folks, he’s a normal lord.

It seems that for the commoners, it’s an unexpected good fortune.

However, the infamous imperial invasion robbed the commoners of their fortunes.

Due to the fighting and looting, the crops, money, goods, and the people of the territory suffered great damage, and the management of the territory suddenly deteriorated.

There was some support from the government, but apparently not enough to make up for all they have lost.

So, the lord was busy with his activities in the royal capital asking for loans at low-interest rates from the state, other lords, and large merchants, also taking other measures, which made it difficult to devote time to domestic affairs… Thus, he puts a deputy in place.

…The deputy was the mistake…

 

“And so, the people, especially the farmers, are having a hard time…”

 

Eh? I have to ask about that in detail!

 

“What is the tax rate on farmers?” (Mitsuha)

“You see, they can’t afford to hire us young mercenaries to exterminate monsters like the mogera moles and the zumo worms, so they’re in a pickle……

Oh right, we’re volunteers, you know? We’re just getting pocket change to help the farmers, haha……” (Boy 1)

 

No, even if you act like that, Sabine-chan will find out…

And, evidently from this interaction, these two ignored all my words and only talked to Sabine-chan.

Right, the boys only talk to Sabine-chan…

……This is so annoying!

 

Anyway, when I talked to them, they’d stare at me like saying, “Maid, stay back!”.

And Sabine is aware of her mission, so she is smiling and continuing her information-gathering skills…… with a streak of blue veins on her temple.

Yes, Sabine-chan will never forgive those who make fun of or ignore me.

Right now, she’s carrying out a priority mission, so she’s just desperately enduring it.

Sabine-chan, who usually performs perfectly, has been unmasked to the extent that I could notice.

……In other words, that’s how furious she is.

The only ones who didn’t realize it were the two boys desperately trying to get closer to Sabine-chan.

Right now, the people in this restaurant, the other customers, and the store clerks. All of them have become aware of it.

Of course, there would be no one who wouldn’t get angry if their partner, who was traveling with them, was treated unfairly.

What the hell are these two thinking…?

 

“……So what’s the tax rate for farmers?” (Sabine)

“Yeah, 75%, apparently.” (Boy 2)

“”Wha-…””

 

As you can see, if Sabine-chan is the one who’s asking, they’ll immediately tell her.

And at that high rate, Sabine-chan and I are at a loss for words.

The farmer’s tax rate is 40% at the lowest and 60% at the highest.

40% is only possible if the territory has a very lucrative financial resource… owns a mine, is a commercial center in the surrounding area, or can grow spices… and if the lord is a good-natured person.

…Which is to say, very rarely.

And 60% is the limit of the tax rate that is still sustainable.

At 70%, this is a special measure for a single year only, when the crops were good but the territory desperately needed the money for other reasons. It is said that if this continues for more than two years, either the farmer or the lord’s family will perish.

……And yet, that’s 75%. Moreover, it’s continuous.

That’s insane.

 

“…Are they stupid?” (Sabine)

 

Sabine-chan says that but…

 

“No, probably not. They’re not stupid, but huge idiots!”

“Yeah, exactly!”

 

No, at such a high tax rate, there’s no way farmers can keep up much longer.

Besides, if that’s the tax rate on farmers, I can only imagine the toll tax, the sales tax, and so on.

If it’s for the restoration of the damage caused by the empire, then it’s counterproductive. That would only lead to the destruction of the territory.

…Are they really insane?

 

After that, we collected information from these boys, and after a while, they ran out of useful information.

After all, they are only 15-16 years old novice mercenaries. They don’t have that much information about politics.

Besides, the information is based on rumors and lacks credibility.

In those cases, we have to increase the amount of information, compare, and analyze.

So, I sent a signal to Sabine-chan.

The one that says, “They’re running dry, let’s move on”.

Receiving that signal, Sabine-chan looked relieved, wondering if she could finally finish her opponent.

…Well, it seems like she was holding back quite a bit…

And so…

 

“Thanks. Now then, we’ll take our leave.

I’ll pay for the meal…” (Sabine)

“Eh? No, we have many more interesting things to talk about. How about we change shops, we can go to a sweets shop or somewhere…” (Boy 1)

 

The boys panicked because Sabine-chan, who had been smiling, suddenly turned serious and cut off the conversation.

 

“But you two don’t like my Oneesama, do you? I don’t want to talk with someone who shows such blatant ill will towards my beloved Oneesama!” (Sabine)

“”Eh?!””

 

I have a “plain face” with a very ordinary appearance, whereas Sabine-chan is a “fluffy, proper young lady”. Therefore, the boys thought of me as her maid, so they treated me lightly.

They probably didn’t even think that I was her actual sister, but someone she held in high regard.

And then, we paid and left the store, leaving the two boys who dropped their shoulders in disappointment behind.

The other customers and the store clerks looked at the boys like they were fools for throwing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by their own foolish actions.

 

Yes, indeed, if those boys had treated the two of us properly, there was a non-zero possibility that we would hire them for a few days, ask them to work as our escorts, or gather information. And, if they worked diligently, I might have given them various preferential treatment after that.

But that possibility is already gone.

Now, on to the next. Forward!

    KPV exerts powerful anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways and lowering the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
    Research shows it successfully decreases irritation by downregulating signaling molecules such as TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and IL-6.
    These actions make KPV extremely efficient in managing inflammatory circumstances similar to
    inflammatory bowel illness (IBD), arthritis, and pores and skin inflammation. Think About a little helper in your body, constructed from
    just three amino acids—the same constructing blocks that make up proteins.

    That’s KPV, a tripeptide (a fancy word for a small chain of amino acids) that comes from
    a hormone referred to as alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, or ?-MSH for
    short. This hormone is like a pure regulator in your body,
    helping to calm irritation, fight off germs, and even repair broken tissues.
    KPV takes a variety of the finest elements of this hormone and places them
    to work in a centered method, making it a promising tool for folks dealing with continual
    ache.
    To do that, researchers used human gut cells (Caco2-BBE and HT29-Cl.19A) and immune cells (Jurkat T cells), exposing them to inflammation-triggering chemical substances with or without KPV.
    They measured how active inflammation-related alerts have been and what number of inflammation-related proteins had been produced,
    using various lab instruments. To see how KPV gets into cells, they examined whether
    KPV may block or substitute substances usually carried by PepT1,
    or directly tracked how KPV was taken up by cells.
    It’s not daily you get to be on the forefront of a brand new therapeutic peptide being launched into the world.

    The practitioner I’m working with wants me to begin KPV, using
    it for its anti-inflammatory properties. But I searched the sub right here, and I’m
    discovering virtually no mention of this peptide in any respect.
    I’ve additionally observed that it is not really available from many/most suppliers that I’ve searched.

    GLOW is a physician-formulated peptide injection combining BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu to speed up therapeutic, scale back irritation, and promote radiant pores and skin.
    Research highlights KPV’s potential for managing inflammatory pores and skin issues corresponding to psoriasis,
    eczema, and atopic dermatitis. Studies constantly report substantial enhancements in skin irritation, barrier integrity, and
    symptom reduction, reinforcing its potential as a robust therapeutic possibility in dermatological practice.
    Multiple clinical trial evidence reveals KPV’s sturdy anti-inflammatory
    affect on crucial mechanisms. It exerts anti-inflammation results inside
    the cells and inactivates inflammatory alerts. It can enter
    the cell’s nucleus and directly inhibit inflammatory signaling molecules.

    The KLOW Peptide Blend is a complicated, synergistic formulation that builds on the
    profitable Glow Mix by adding KPV, a peptide recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties.

    KPV is unlikely to mediate its results by way of melanocortin receptors
    however is more prone to act through inhibition of IL-1? functions”. If you’re having issues together with your skin or hair, see a dermatologist for a prognosis and a remedy plan. If you’ve an allergic response to a peptide-based skincare product, get medical consideration as quickly as attainable. Collagen injections can plump your pores and skin and assist fill in strains and wrinkles. But research also exhibits that collagen dietary supplements you’re taking by mouth might help your skin stay moist and elastic, especially if you’re older than 30. They may also help ease pain and improve joint operate in individuals with osteoarthritis (the “wear-and-tear” sort of arthritis that’s often as a result of aging).
    Seek The Assistance Of with a healthcare skilled before use when you have a critical medical condition or use prescription medications. As with any compound launched into the physique, there’s a chance of allergic reaction, particularly in people with sensitivities to peptide sequences. Solely just lately has KPV crossed over into athletic and performance-enhancing areas, the place its recovery-accelerating and gut-optimizing properties are being leveraged for hard-training people. Vigilant monitoring throughout the remedy duration is important to promptly handle any rising unwanted effects and make dosage adjustments as necessary. This proactive method not only safeguards affected person well-being but in addition elevates the overall efficacy of KPV Peptide remedy in scientific settings.
    Each intestinal epithelial cells might experience mild irritation, redness, or sensitivity on the application web site. Severe side effects are uncommon however can embody allergic reactions in sensitive people and in each intestinal epithelial cells. Topical peptides can play a significant function in therapeutic wounds, making it essential to monitor any reactions carefully. Using peptides for healing wounds is mostly helpful, however it’s important to concentrate on potential unwanted facet effects.
    One Other examine investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of KPV in TNBS-induced colitis models. The outcomes confirmed that KPV significantly reduced weight reduction, MPO activity, and pro-inflammatory cytokine ranges within the colon. These findings have been additional supported by real-time RT-PCR analyses, confirming the tripeptide’s capacity to mitigate irritation in vivo.
    DSIP may be the principal endogenous sleep factor and particularly promotes the delta rhythm of sleep as indicated on an EEG. Merchandise from this Web Site are NOT intended for use to diagnose or deal with any medical condition or disease. The products usually are not medicines or medicine and so they have not been approved by any regulated body to stop, treat, diagnose, mitigate, or cure any illness, ailment or medical condition. KPV, on the other hand, focuses on reducing inflammation by modulating cytokine exercise. LL-37 primarily targets pathogens by breaking down their membranes and activating immune responses. They help shield in opposition to bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and are also involved in controlling irritation and supporting tissue healing. Structural modifications are also being investigated to enhance peptide stability and therapeutic performance without compromising security.
