Chapter 217 – Episode 24. Demon Kyung (魔京) New York.

〈 Caution! There are swimsuit illustrations! Please look around! 〉

However, I don’t know what system allows the hologram to move freely, but it was Eve who came out to the entrance and greeted me. I have no idea why, but Eve was welcoming me. There is no Ai data this time, so you certainly weren’t expecting to get Ai data again, right?

“Ryuta-sama, come this way and Cherry-sama, come this way!”

Eve guided each of us to our counter seats. A new hologram of Eve appeared at the counter seat where Cherry, or rather Mimata Chieri, had gone, introducing herself to Mimata Chieri, who was visiting for the first time. It seemed like Chieri Mimata’s dark app ID was Cherry.

“But why are you welcoming me like this?”
“Ahaha, very few people come to the New York branch these days. There are scary rumors going around here…”

There is a port and rocks around here, so the security shouldn’t be bad. What’s going on? It was clear that Eve, who was a dark figure, must have been very ugly, to the point where she could be said to be ugly.

“Can you tell me what the rumor is?”
“Well, normally I would have to get points, but since I am a guest coming and going here, I am obligated to provide basic security information, so I will tell you for free.”

Well, since only plus-level members can come to the Amsang branch, we need to make an announcement so that excellent members who come here are not at risk.

“Unknown… For example, a vampire-like being is attacking the Kurotsuki Doh New York branch. “Ryuta-sama is Asian, so be extra careful because you might be mistaken for Kurotsuki-do by that vampire-like being.”

A vampire… It is a historical monster that has been with human history, and as its name suggests, it was a scary blood-sucking ghost. Well, strictly speaking, it’s not a ghost.

As a monster, it was quite strong and had a lot of very annoying characteristics, so it was annoying to fight, so it was better not to fight against it.

I almost got tangled up with a strange guy. I have to be careful. If Kurotsuki Doo comes and fights that vampire guy, that would be great for me. Obviously, glycolysis will try to destroy the newly formed tissue, but since we have to focus our efforts on this, it is easy to buy time.

When Kurotsuki Dou is caught up in something bad, sugar digestion needs to be established properly. I will have to tell you this news after I leave the dark room.

“All right. “I will try to be careful.”
“Yes, please be careful not to get hurt. “Then I’ll open the catalog now!”

With Eve’s words, a hologram window opened and a list of numerous items appeared. Hmm, there are so many lists that I think we need to narrow them down a bit.

“Please bring in old books, relics, unusual materials or weapons. Oh, and elixir too.”
“Yes! Please wait.”

For Eve, the world’s top AI, it was only a fleeting moment. As soon as the words “Wait” Were over, new classified lists appeared again. It was still long, but it was worth looking at.

“Hmm.”

Is it because New York has so many people and so many eyes to see? The list was long, but I didn’t see any good items that I knew about. Or, it could be that the seeds of good items have dried up because the auction is not far away and people are putting items up for auction.

Still, after flipping through a few pages, I saw that there were a few things I could buy, so I chose about three.

The first one was an artifact called a music box. It was an alarm artifact that made a music box move and make a sound when a person with malicious intent came nearby.

Next was a book called Kunst des Fechten (The Art of Combat), which contained the arcane sword techniques of German sword master Johannes Liechtenauer. I remember it being of a similar level to Goksanpapoonggeombeop, so it would be more profitable to buy it.

However, perhaps because Liechtenauer is more famous than Cheok Jun-gyeong worldwide, it is more expensive than Goksan Papung Geombeop.

Lastly, it was a drink made in the Middle Ages called the elixir of strength. They say it was made in some kind of monastery, but the name was Elixir of Power, so I just bought it. If it’s an elixir that permanently increases strength, it would be great, or even a buff-type potion would be quite useful. Even if it is neither, it will have some value as it is a fairly old liquor.

“Please give me the music box and elixir of power right away, and deliver the book to the registered address.”
“I will take care of the music box and elixir of strength before you leave. Before that, I have a suggestion for you, Ryuta.”

A sudden offer? What’s going on? I remember that there was no event like this in the dark scene in the game…

“What are you proposing?”
“I want to receive mithril from the mithril mine that Ryuta recently obtained.”

I was curious as to how they knew I had obtained a mithril mine, but since I was developing a mine, it was important to find a company that could supply it, and if I were a dark merchant, I would be a very good customer.

“We haven’t developed the mine yet, so we don’t know how much is buried?”

The reserves of the mine itself were treated as a specialty product of Akita Prefecture in the game, so I expected it to be quite large, but I didn’t know the exact reserves.

“Don’t worry about reserves. “I obtained a document from Kurotsuki Doo that secretly calculated reserves of Taira Foods.”

Where did you get that from? I knew that the information power of the dark image was enormous, but isn’t this level a little scary? Still, some of the mithril mined from the mine will be used by a company established in Korea under the names of myself and Han Yu-kyung, so I could not provide all of it to the public, so I decided not to give a complete answer for now. I have to hand it over to Ms. Jin Mi-ja, who is in charge of mine work.

“I will sign a contract first, but for detailed contract information, please contact Yoshiko Hata, CEO of Hatake Investment Company.”
“Ryuta, are you talking about your mother?”

What, did you investigate everything around me? For reference, Hata Yoshiko is the Japanese reading of Mrs. Jin Mi-ja’s name.

“Yes, first of all, where did you get the information that the contract was finalized and that I obtained the mine?”
“Rather than saying where he obtained it, if Hatake Investment Company is in fact Taira Ryuta’s company and its subsidiary, Hatake Mining Company, purchased the land for Taira Foods Factory 8 in Daisen City from East Weapon, then logically, Ryuta owned the Mithril mine. “It would be a natural result, right?”

It would be easy to infer the owner of the land using a copy of the register that can be obtained officially. Since Ms. Jin Mi-ja is the CEO of Hatake Investment Company, it will be easy to trace my name.

It’s not that I think I won’t get caught at all. Hatake Investment Company was created because they thought it was okay to just blindfold them and say goodbye. Maybe they should create a company under a different name later to hide the real information.

“And…”
“And?”

Do you have any other business besides the mithril mine? Eve opened her mouth with a slightly hesitant expression.

“Please stop by the Tokyo branch! “I’ve been waiting to surprise Ryuta-sama!”

I don’t know what you mean. Even if she pretends to be a tsundere by making fun and glancing around like that, I don’t understand why.

“…All right. “When I return to Japan, I will stop by the Tokyo branch.”
“Are you sure?!”
“Yes, definitely!”

I don’t know what they’re trying to show me, but I’m starting to get really curious, so I really need to stop by the Tokyo branch.

“Here you go.”

Eve holding out her little finger. I wondered what was going on for a while, and then I realized that it meant making a promise by tying my little finger, so I stretched out my hand containing the abyss and latched on Eve’s little finger.

“Huh~!”
“See you later, Eve.”

As expected, Eve was startled and made a strange whistling sound, perhaps because the touch was an unfamiliar sensation. I smiled a little when I saw that and got up. And when I looked at where Mimatachieri was sitting, I saw that Mimatachieri was muttering to herself with tears in her eyes. After listening closely, I thought, should I buy this? But the bed screen kept muttering her incomprehensible words, saying that she was the girl who couldn’t give up.

What? What’s causing it to be like that? I looked at Eve sitting in front of Chieri Mimata.

“I was wondering what to buy and it ended up like this. “I think it’s probably because I don’t have enough money to buy both.”

After hearing Eve’s words, I looked at the screen that Chieri Mimata was watching. It was a shopping cart window. One was a noiseless, ultra-small reconnaissance drone, and the other was an ultra-small hidden camera that did not need power supply for two months once charged.

I could guess what Chieri Mimata was going to do just by looking at the product, so I just sat there and listened to Chieri Mimata mumbling. I’ll probably be the victim of these reconnaissance drones and hidden cameras, but I can’t let them buy them.

“Eve, please cancel what you added to your shopping cart.”
“Yes~☆”
“Nooooo!”

Ignoring Chieri Mimata’s screams, I lifted her over my shoulder and left the New York branch undercover. Chieri Mimata keeps squirming like an ugly 4 year old girl and says no, I have to buy it! He made a fuss while doing so, but I ignored him and went to where I parked my motorcycle.

But suddenly a murderous voice came from behind. Although it was a young voice, it was quite a pretty female voice. It was a voice so beautiful and mesmerizing that you could tell she was a beauty just by hearing her voice.

“You guys from Black Moon Company, I thought I eliminated the human trafficking ring, but have they created it again? Die!”

If it was Black Moon Company, it was Kurotsuki Doh’s American name. Then the guy attacking me now… !

Eve’s Advantages! Because it is a hologram, the chest size can be adjusted! (Small → Medium → Large)

Disadvantage: It’s a hologram so it can’t be done ㅠㅠ
