And so, ever since the day when the buyers vanished, the bulb prices continued crashing calamitously. They were decreasing so quickly that it was as if they were falling off a precipice. By the second day of no willing buyers, the price came down by a third. The day after that, it was half of the previous day’s. People were scrambling all over the place to try and sell their bills of exchange, and the market was in a state of chaos.

Jeanette and the others were at the Guivarch estate, holding a discussion with the merchants they had good relations with, such as Edmond and Gautier. They had initially invested lots of capital into the tulips, but at Jeanette’s advice, they managed to avoid taking a fatal blow during the crash. Nonetheless, they still faced considerable losses.

“I heard the one who suffered the most lost as much as fifty million krandells...” said one of the merchants. “I think his name is Barthelemy? I’m sure they’ll take him to court for nonpayment.”

“Barthelemy? That swindler?” Jeanette asked. He was the man who’d sold her stepfamily glass beads while claiming they were jewels.

“Yeah, that’s the one. I was surprised to hear he was still active in this country. He should’ve run while he had the chance.”

“Well, that’s why you shouldn’t do wrong,” responded another merchant. “On the other hand, I also heard of a poor family who made a lot of money by selling tulips they grew themselves.”

“In a way, you could say this is all divine providence.”

“The good are blessed...”

“And the wicked punished, huh?”

The merchants nodded in agreement, some of them sighing, others remaining somberly silent.

One concluded, “Just like a bubble on the water, everything simply burst and vanished...”

Eventually, the merchants dispersed. Claus went to see them off, and soon came back to the room and earnestly said, “You really did make the right decision. Thanks to you, Roussel Corporation is practically unharmed. That’s my Jeanette...” He smiled softly.

But when he noticed Kyuriakris standing silently nearby, he addressed him. “Uh, by the way, Kyuri... What happened was inevitable. And it’s almost impossible to realize it when you’re wrapped up in that kind of mania.”

Kyuriakris’s face only hardened. “Stop it. I don’t want your concern, it only makes me feel more miserable. I’d rather be agitated,” he grumbled, sighing. “This has all made me realize I’ve still got a long way to go. Business really is a tricky thing... But if you think I’m depressed over this, you’re wrong. In fact, by being with Jeanette, I managed to experience failure without incurring losses. Wouldn’t you say that luck was on my side?”

In response to those intrepid words, Claus laughed. “Ha ha! So that’s how it is. As usual, your ability to get back on your feet is incredible, Kyuri.”

“Exactly. I got to see all of this because I’m a member of Roussel Corporation right now. That’s why I believe I should mimic the chairwoman’s perseverance.”

Jeanette didn’t really know what he was talking about, but she surmised he was praising her, and nodded.
