Chapter 154 – Flies Flock to Places That Smell of Money (4)
At that time, the imperial capital.
Permaton Infinite Labyrinth.
It is a very coveted place for an empire.
The economic value of the Infinite Labyrinth is indescribably high, and considering its potential value, it would be worth handing over two or three other counties to the kingdom.
Such Fermaten is changing now.
Is he trying to walk a tightrope between the kingdom and the empire, or is Permaten trying to do something on his own?
“Luge Permaten is up to something.”
In fact, it was safe to view it as an eccentric act of ‘Luge Permaten’, who could be considered the Permaten lord of the time.
“Based on his actions so far, Luji is trying to build a harem kingdom by gathering a lot of women around him.”
Everyone drooled at the words of the woman wearing glasses.
“Emma.”
Emma.
Not a maid, but an ordinary maid.
She took a vacation and left for her home country, Empire, for a while, but in reality, she only returned to the Empire for regular reporting under the guise of vacation.
“Yes, manager.”
“I know that you are a capable being. I also know that you personally participated in the chest contest to learn about the Fermaten’s purpose.”
“Huh…!”
Emma placed her hand on her chest
There were no ups and downs, but the demand still existed.
“You are trying to get information by revealing your swimsuit. It is truly an exemplary move for the intelligence department. Assassin. Your loyalty to the empire is truly admirable. But.”
A stern-looking woman with her hair tied up in a bun and purple lipstick shook her head as she played with her angular glasses, giving her an odd look.
“It seems like it’s okay to arrive at a result based on the information gathered.”
“Why?”
“Harem Kingdom? I’m shocked. Don’t you know that it’s all Rouge Permaten’s ploy?”
“…”
Emma was truly dumbfounded.
“Chief, do you think this is an advanced smokescreen operation carried out by Rouge Permaten?”
“Of course not. How can someone have sex every day and do something like that when all they think about is sex? It’s all a ploy to lower her guard against Rouge Permaton.”
A trick?
You can find out just by working at Count Fermaten’s castle for just one day.
Kissing a blonde bunny girl while eating.
When she moves, she catches the wizard of the magic tower.
When she’s bored, she goes into Countess Permaton’s room and pounces on her wife.
She imprisons and trains her subordinates, whom she has brought in as knights.
Recently, he was making a fuss by milking the milk of half-breasts he had purchased as slaves and saying he wanted to make chocolate milk with it.
Are you saying that all of Rouge Permaten’s actions are a smokescreen?
“Manager. It’s because I can’t convey information in real time through my glasses, but you will feel it when you see it in person. Rouge Permaten is a piece of trash.”
“From what you say, it seems that Rouge Permaten is really good at marketing his image to people around him. He’s a scary man. Rouge Permaten.”
“No!”
Emma pounded her fist against her chest in frustration.
“That guy is just a pervert!”
“Is that a judgment made out of resentment for being slapped, or is it a judgment made by you as a proud [Black Raven]?”
“This is my judgment as a member of the Black Ravens and a proud subject of the Empire!”
“I see. If you say it that way, I understand. But I can’t understand at all.”
The manager took off his glasses for a moment.
“A sex-mad person cheated on Irmeter Sirzosiya?”
“…”
“You didn’t just rape her, you insulted the Sirzosiya family like that and sent them away?”
“Manager. That is.”
“He is a guy who follows his own agenda even if it means making a fuss about the kingdom based on his poor judgment. That guy said it was all a play? That’s nonsense.”
The manager couldn’t understand at all.
“It would be more persuasive to say that Rouge Permaten would betray the kingdom and stand on the side of the empire.”
“Are you saying that the series of steps you have taken so far were all actions to escape the kingdom?”
“Yes. They may be trying to turn their backs on the kingdom and stand on the side of the empire. Otherwise, how can they act like they have no backs?”
“So, the manager’s opinion is that all of Rouge Permaten’s actions are planned?”
“Okay.”
“Then how will you judge this?”
Emma took out two of her documents and held them out.
“This is information I got as soon as I arrived here yesterday. It is said that there was a performance of burning magic stones in the square.”
“…”
“And the Succubus Dream Changer also accepts magic stones as payment for use, and is collecting all the magic stones. Collecting magic stones, burning the magic stones. Is this process also an act of maintaining pretense with the kingdom?”
“Of course it’s a protest against the kingdom.”
There was confidence in the manager’s eyes.
“Is it us or the kingdom that is highly dependent on the magic stones obtained from Fermaten?”
“Manager.”
Emma answered with a serious face.
“It’s all about building a harem kingdom for your own sex!”
“Okay, then let’s sum it up. The reason I want to join the empire is to use my position as the Margrave of Fermaten to create my own harem kingdom in Fermaten. Is this enough?”
“Chief!”
“If what you say is true, it seems that Rouge Permaton does not really care whether his harem is a kingdom or an empire. And Rouge’s cock… Seems to be heading towards the empire.”
The manager took out an object from below.
“Have you ever seen this?”
“…I’ve seen it at the Count’s Castle. Isn’t it breast pudding?”
“What?”
“After making pudding in a cup of d’Arc, he drank it ravenously. Rouge Permaton.”
“…Um. I’m sorry. I can’t help but feel that way when I see things like that on a regular basis.”
The manager shook his head.
“Luge Permaton…! This scary man. How far does he intend to undermine his own image to make a profit?”
“So it’s not about tarnishing the image.”
“This is not a breast pudding. A breast magic stone. It is a magic stone in the shape of a woman’s breast.”
“…Yes?”
Emma felt a shiver run down her spine for a moment.
“Well, like that…?”
“It looks like the work was carried out in a place that is difficult for even maids to access.”
“No, how…? I’ve never heard of such a thing…?”
“They made people think that making breast pudding with Darkzan was then selling these breast magic stones. Through slave traders from the empire.”
“Ha…”
A magic stone in the shape of a chest.
That was the size of a real person’s chest.
It is unclear who it belongs to.
“They said this Breast Magic Stone will not be sold to the kingdom. Does this mean it is not a ploy by the Fermaten to join the empire?”
“…You never know. They might suddenly say they’re selling it as a kingdom again.”
Emma couldn’t believe it.
She didn’t want to believe it.
The pervert who is still enjoying outdoor sex with the bunny girl he carries around.
Is this kind of political movement happening behind the scenes…?
And she says she missed this information?
“I guess my vision is blurred because I’m not wearing my glasses. Emma, take a break here as a real vacation for the time being. I’ll leave the mission to another child.”
“Another child? Who is there?”
“There is. He was born in Fermaton… Hehe.”
The manager burst into laughter.
“There is a guy with a very brilliant mind.”
* * *
“Amy. Interim financial report.”
“We have passed the break-even point. We were in deficit until yesterday, but we expect to be in surplus from today.”
“It’s just right.”
Burning the magic stone.
The production cost involved in making Darkjan.
Loss rate caused by switching to breast magic stone.
A certain amount of commission given to Charlotte.
“I was wondering what would happen as the money I made from Dream Factory dropped drastically, but luckily it seems that breast magic stones are selling well.”
Including other things, we were barely able to put an end to the hemorrhaging of deficits.
“Later, I have to say hello to the Barbas Mage Tower through Asti.”
“What about handing over the Breast Magic Stone made from Miss Astarote’s cup?”
“If that were to happen, the meteor would fly straight to Yeongju Castle.”
“It’s a joke.”
Amy smiled slightly and set down a new glass in front of me.
“What about this glass?”
“This is Amyzan.”
“Oh…”
Although they were usually hidden by the frills of the maid uniform, Amy’s breasts were also quite large.
“Did you make this?”
“It’s easy to make using just the pink slime mold. I sent it along with the mold to the glass craftsman.”
“Is he still making noises?”
“Thanks to Lord So, who set a generous bonus, we are working hard to make it happen now. Recently, he wanted to hire an apprentice.”
“Apprentice…”
As with all medieval craftsmen, she takes one of her students and lets him learn his skills by watching and learning them firsthand.
‘It would be good to recruit a blacksmith character as well.’
A blacksmith who can modify and create all kinds of weapons, including glassware.
There is a character with that concept.
It’s because I’m a man.
And, of course, that guy is the one who inherited the blood of Fermaten.
Weapon Master Hernández.
I haven’t found it yet along with Akamond, but I will definitely find it someday.
If you find it…
“Huh.”
Finding gems is such a headache, but trying to keep looking for people is driving me crazy.
Knock knock.
There is a knocking sound outside.
I put her hand aside to see what she was talking about, and she stood in front of me in plain clothes.
“Hello, Lord So. Good morning.”
Joanna.
The best talent who helped us melt magic stones and synthesize them into new magic stones.
If there were no black flames, the Breast Magic Stone would certainly not have been born.
“…Silence.”
Unfolding a barrier using wide-area silence magic, Joanna handed a small object in front of me.
“What is this?”
“A very special item created for Lord So.”
It was something like a ring case, and I opened the case with a trembling heart.
“This is…!”
Ring.
On top of the silver ring, a magic stone was embedded like a jewel.
“No way, I-“
“It’s a very small bomb.”
“…Huh?”
“It’s a bomb with an explosion magic engraved inside the ring. Put it in, cast the magic, and boom.”
“…”
Oh, indeed.
This woman.
He was a terrorist.
“Ha. Joanna.”
I pointed to the ring.
“Make it back as a necklace.”
“Yes?”
“The bomb is.”
I pointed to the neck.
“For it to be effective, you have to stuff it around your neck.”
Your magic stone.
Replaced with bomb necklace.
